So this was my first story that I’ve written ever. It was a test run to see what being a writer on Wattpad is like. I really enjoyed the experience and I want to thank everyone for your helpful tips, encouragement, and advice. A big problem that I had though was time management lol. I’m going to continue writing stories on Wattpad, but at my own pace. My plan is to write a my whole entire story and then release a chapter each week, so that I won’t feel like I’m scrambling for time. I won’t be releasing another story for a bit, but thanks to all your advice I now know what to do and what not to do. Especially since I’m writing at my own pace the stories will be much better. I hope you all enjoy the last chapter of “The Brute.” Thanks again to everyone and be on the lookout for my next book 🙂
~NEAL~
I walked inside the huge building, my eyes darting everywhere, unable to focus on one thing. My jaw was still hanging open as we walked through each floor for the tour. After being told our job functions, descriptions, and where we would be working from now on, it was lunch time. I sat with the rest of the interns at our own table. I wasn’t really listening to their conversation, since I was looking around for Taylor.
Suddenly I felt a huge pair of arms wrap around me, I turned and a huge grin was on my face as I saw Taylor. “How’ve you been, Neal?” he asked me excitedly.
I punched his arm playfully, but still a little hard. “Why have you not been answering my calls and texts!”
“Ow! I’m sorry I’ve just been so busy here.” he looked at me with sad puppy eyes.
“Ah what the hell,” I said, giving him another hug. “It’s hard to stay mad at you.”
“Ya I know,” he said laughing.
We chatted for a while until lunch time was over. As we walked back to our own labs we soon realized our departments were right next to each other. I frowned, “Great” I muttered sarcastically. “You’re just gonna distract me from my work,” I said, hiding my happiness.
“Oh shut up, you know you’re happy about it.” Taylor stated. I laughed a little before saying bye and going back into the lab. As we started on our first project right away I felt eyes watching me as I solved equations to eventually finish the project.
I turned my head quickly and saw that it was Bruce staring at me. I gave him a cold scowl and turned back to my equations. He’s such a hypocrite, he told me he wants to keep our relationship professional, in an email of all things, but he still thinks he can just stare at me. As I turned back around to make sure he got the message and left, I yelped a little, his face was only inches from mine.
“Can we talk?”
“We are talking,” I muttered in annoyance.”
“I mean in my office.”
I rolled my eyes, but agreed. To tell the truth, I actually did want to talk with him and tell him how I feel… felt. As I sat in silence waiting for him to tell me what he wanted, he walked up to me and said “I’m sorry Neal. I shouldn’t have ignored you, I wanted to make sure that you wouldn’t let our relationship get in the way of your work… and you didn’t.”
“You did all of this just so you can make me a better scientist? I don’t care about being a better scientist, I care about y-” I stopped myself and left before I started to cry over him again. Just before I could slip past the door he grabbed my wrists and pulled me into a kiss, his lips pressing quite firmly against mine.
I pulled away, and stopped staring into his eyes. “I’m sorry Neal I didn’t mean to-” I kissed him this time. My lips were on fire from the passion.
“Geez why can’t I just stay mad at people.” I covered my mouth, embarrassed for accidentally saying that outloud.
He chuckled and said “I’m sorry Neal, I’ll never hurt you like that again, I care about you, and I only wanted to help you”
“It’s okay I guess the kiss kinda helped me get over it,” I said giggling.
“There’s one more thing I have to tell you Neal.” You know all of those attacks and mysterious destructions that have been happening recently around Oxford and its neighboring cities?”
I nodded. “You know how some reports have been saying that it’s from a green animal of some sorts.”
“Ya, the news likes to exaggerate everything,” I said snorting
“Well it’s not an exaggeration,” he said very seriously. “If anything it’s an understatement… I’m that green monster.” I started to laugh, but soon stopped when I saw the seriousness in his eyes. “That’s why I stumbled into the alley hurt that night, I changed back, after I laid waste to those buildings… I’ve hurt so many people. I can’t really help it Neal, an accident back in New York caused me to be exposed to high levels of radiation which caused me to change into this green monster. I’ve had him under control lately, but he will come back eventually. I’ve never told anybody this, til now.”
It all made sense now, I’ve always wondered why he stumbled into that alleyway all bloody and bruised. I fell back onto the couch, in shock. After a few minutes of silence, I stood up. “Well I’m going to do everything I can to help you.”
“I’ve tried everything Neal.”
“But I haven’t,” I said before kissing him once again. “I don’t like the name green monster,” I said, breaking the silence. We both laughed. “I’ve seen some footage of you on tv that “guy”, he is pretty terrifying. I’m sorry that that happened to you Bruce.”
He smiled. “It’s not your fault.” He grabbed my waist and pulled me in close. I could feel his breath against mine. “I don’t care that I have this green creature inside me, because it led me to you.” He kissed me even more intensely than last time. “We gotta think of a better name for this green thingy inside of me, though,” he said smiling.
“Ya the name “green thingy” doesn’t really do him justice for his hulking form… wait, I got it!”
The End 🙂
