~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: January 25th, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Hospital that William Jones is staying at, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:25 PM)~~~

Hannah and I have been hanging out here with William for a long time now, and he's starting to get really tired. His eyes are fluttering open and closed, trying to stay awake. "I think it's about time that we go, Will... Remember, your sister has my number, and feel free to call or text me anytime..." He nods his head with a smile as he falls asleep.

Bianca and Hannah are the first ones out the door, and I'm the last. We slowly walk down the hallway, and both of them stop. Before I can come to a full stop with them, I'm quickly wrapped in a hug. Bianca has her arms around me, and I can hear her whimpering into my shirt. Hannah walks up and hugs Bianca from behind. Making it a hug of three people.

We stay like this for a couple of minutes, and she eventually let's go and wipes the tears from her eyes. "You don't know how much this means to us, Ulysses... You've changed the entire course of my life and my little brothers... There aren't enough people like you in the world..." Well... I don't think that's entirely true... This is LA... You won't find that many people being generous here.

My gaze lands on Hannah, and she has a subtle hungry passion in her eyes as she looks at me. "We're heading back to our hotel. Please, text me and call me Bianca. I don't get to meet many genuine people like you. I think we'll be great friends." Hannah and Bianca share a moment as I walk past them and towards the exit of the Hospital.

I have a real soft spot for people fighting cancer since Ellie passed away from breast cancer when she was older. Speaking of that, I'll have to prepare for that. It's not supposed to start surfacing until a few years from now, but I'm not losing her again. The limo pulls up, and I wait for Hannah to come out. She says her goodbyes to Bianca and hops in while Bianca heads back inside.

We sit in silence as our driver navigates back to the Ritz-Carlton. "You know that's the sexiest and kindest thing I've ever seen with my own eyes..." She slowly whispers as she leans into me. Her hand is on my lap, and her head is leaning on my arm. "You're a wonderful man and tremendous human being, Ulysses... I love you..." Her voice is a mix of several different emotions.

I disagree with her assessment of me, and there are multiple reasons for that... Mainly being how old I am mentally... I'm not as perfect as she's making me sound. "I'm glad that you think so highly of me... But at the same time, I feel sad..." She looks at me with serious confusion. "You're setting your expectations of me really high... I won't always be able to fulfill them..." It'll be impossible...

She leans up and sits on her knees, so we're at eye level. Her hands run through my hair, and she brings her lips closer to mine. Locking them together as we both close our eyes and enjoy it. "Mmm... I don't know about that, Ulysses... I have a feeling that no matter what expectations I hold, you'll always surpass them..." Her cheeks are getting redder as mine are.

The heat in the back of the limo is starting to get higher as we hardly take any breaks from kissing. Her tongue glides along my lips, trying to gain access to my mouth. As I part my lips, she brings her attention to my teeth, and those part for her too. I'm fully sunk into the kiss, and I'm relaxed. My mouth is filling with our mixed saliva fast, so I'm forced to swallow...

We part for breath, and I open my eyes. Hannah's blue-greenish eyes are heavy and hot, and I can feel the intention she's putting out for them. "I want to do things to you, Ulysses... And I'm starting to not care how much it'll hurt taking you for my first time..." My heart rate instantly rises, and she closes in for another long kiss.
