It’s been a long journey to get here. A long and painful journey, I
have the scars, nightmares and panic attacks to prove it. I never would have
believed all those years ago that Oliver Watson would have been my worst
nightmare. I’m not sorry that he’s dead. I’m just sorry that it wasn’t at my
hand. I hate him. I hate what he did to me. I hate what he has taken from me.
But more than anything, I hate him for taking the coward's way out. He was
supposed to rot in prison for his crimes, not leave me to be the only one to
face what happened.
I’m Juliet Monroe, I’m twenty five years old and I have been through
hell. But I’ve learned so much about myself, and the thing that I’ve learned
most is just how strong I can be, but as strong as I am, without my friends, I
wouldn’t be here. I’ve learned that friends can be your lifeline, friends can
be your support, friends can be your saviour, and sometimes, they might just
save your life.

He took my hand when we got off the bus, and he didn’t let go not
even when we reached my front door and I turned to say goodnight.
“Thanks for walking me home.” I smiled at him.
He bowed in a grand sweeping gesture and stooped lifting my hand to
his lips. “The pleasure is all mine Milady.” He grinned up at me, his lips
grazing across my knuckles as he looked up at me. There was an element of
desire in his eyes, and I felt the excitement in my stomach at the thought of a
man looking at me in such a way. He wanted me, and I couldn’t help but feel
pulled in by it, wanting to do something about it, but being seventeen and
inexperienced, and not really knowing where to start.
He continued to look at me like that as he straightened up and
pulled me in against him. I looked into his dark pools of black and felt a
sudden rush of warmth over my face when I realised that he was moving in for a
kiss. His lips touched mine, and the electricity that passed between us sizzled
intensely. His hand left mine and circled my waist, drawing me closer, his
other hand resting in my hair, holding me captive to his kiss. His tongue swept
across my lips, and I was powerless to resist, overwhelmed by hormonal teenage
lust I parted my lips and let his tongue massage mine. My arms went around his
neck and I held on as my knees weakened and I let Ollie’s wicked tongue tease
and tempt me.
When his lips parted from mine my eyes wouldn’t open, instead I
stood there for a moment wrapped up in the euphoric little bubble that was
surrounding the momentous occasion of my first kiss.
“Open your eyes Sunshine.” He told me, and I could hear the smile in
his voice.
My eyelids fluttered open at his words, and I looked at him, looking
like the cat who got the cream. “That you for a lovely evening, and an even
more lovely kiss goodnight.” He smiled, kissed my forehead and turned to leave.
“Can I see you again Ollie?” I called out after him as he closed the
gate at the bottom of the garden path.
“You can count on it Sunshine!” He grinned, blew me a kiss, and
walked off down the street back towards the bus stop.
I turned and walked the few steps to the door, turned my key, and
floated up to my bedroom on a cloud. I had met a man, I had been out on a date,
I had had my first kiss. This was just incredible, life finally seemed like it
was going to start heading in the right direction for me, and I couldn’t be
more happy about it.
I'm Leigh Stone, I live in Northern Ireland, just outside the
capital city of Belfast, in a house I share with my teenage daughter, and our
personal zoo (1 cat, 2 kittens, and 2 rabbits!). I'm first and foremost a
reader, and a fast reader at that, often devouring books in a single sitting
over a period of hours. I have always had aspirations to write and become a
published author, but as a teenager I was encouraged to look for a different
profession, as being an author "wouldn't pay the bills."
It was that reading that lead a friend of mine to suggest that I had
read so many of those books that I could probably write my own! It seemed like
a good idea, and I thought that I would give it a try :) a few months later
Lex's Melody was well underway, and the rest as they say is history!
