Chapter Thirty FourKillianIf there was one thing I knew about Desiree, it is when she lies, how she lies and why she lies.She necessarily does not lie because she's scared she lies because she's marinating the truth in a box of comeback weapons.“You are lying!” I blatantly countered.There was no way she would stay right in front of me and lie with her eyes telling me more than I needed to hear.“Tell me everything you heard!” I commanded in a soft tone.I mean why would anyone keep me in suspense because you wanted to ask why I came all the way from Hong Kong to Chicago.She knew so well that I care about her, so why that question, I am everything but dumb and insensitive.I just choose to ignore it.“What do you mean?” She stammered.I know that a goat called Sylvester told her a lot of things..How did she even know about Vanessa!???All of these had Sylvester's handwriting on it.“Someone told you something and you are hiding it from me, Desiree you know me, Don't lie to me!”
Chapter Thirty FiveDesireeThe more I thought I knew who Killian is, the more he showed me a side of him that just blew my mind and wrote off everything that I thought I knew about him.He stepped back glaring at me, his hands pocketed, there was no way he just switched moods..Last minute he was emotional and caring , the next he was staring at me like he was dissecting a way to end me.“What!” I asked taking a step towards him.Still nothing.He just stood there tall, staring at me, unable to process what could be going through his mind.Was he angry??Was he calm??Or was he just ….I didn't know what else to think.“Sylvester……. Immediately the word came.out of my mouth, he instantly made his way to me and planted me into a deep hug..What???What was all of that????“I'm sorry I doubted you!!!” He apologised.Killian Donovan does not apologise, even if he does, it's deeply coated in sarcasm.“What?” I managed to ask while he still held me in deep hug.“I said I'm sorry I didn't
Chapter Thirty SixKillianBeautiful isn't enough to describe how gorgeous she looked. My hands were itching to touch her and I just drew in my lungs the scent on her skin and hair.She looked adorable…“Are you ready??? I asked her, placing my hand In front of her to hold.She grabbed softly onto my hand and her skin felt soft on mine.It felt like I was just discovering how beautiful she is, for the first time.The messy bun she had on her and the little details of hair she let out..How can someone be this gorgeous…“I guess I am!” She responded, dashing me a smile from her perfect set of teeth.I was totally losing for the second time that day.The first time was when I saw her eyes, they sparked like fire.“One of the things I love about you Desiree, is your confidence!” I complimented..I wasn't saying this just casually, I meant every bit of my words, every breath that came out of my mouth, every one of my words was purposeful.I guess she had felt so insecure about her eyes a
Chapter Thirty SevenDesiree..My cheeks flushed at his commentary, I felt my brains were going to explode sooner if Killian kept coming at me like that with his words that don't seem to end without being sugary..“That's what I thought!” But I really still hoped he didn't waste my time. There were a lot of things I could do, sleep, eat and a lot more.The look on his face whenever I did something he didn't expect like when I jumped down the stairs on every occasion I got.I couldn't have jumped all at once, that would be a suicide mission..Jumping the stairs was a little tricky, I learnt from an old friend.Very old friend.“I can't believe you jumped that many stairs in 25 seconds!” He gushed as he pulled the car to a start.“It's normal!”...“Normal??? You call that Normal, are you okay?” He exclaimed testing out my temperature with the back of his palm.“Stop it already, I'm fine!”...“Wait, are you human?” He asked.“What…no I'm ... .an alien yes and I want to take you to my pl
Chapter Thirty EightDesireeWe walked back into the hotel with my mind still reminiscing on what Killian said.“I wish for peace!”...I don't know why but it stuck to me more than everything he had been saying for the whole time.We held hands as we walked back into the path where we were just fifteen minutes ago, we walked silently not a word from each other I wondered what could be going on through his mind.We stepped into the elevator and it was awkwardly quiet “Why do you love black so much?* I asked him, catching his face lit up in his reflection on the elevator wall.“Why are you so beautiful?” He teased…Killian was going all in for me and he knew exactly what he was doing.“Well I mean, one can say black explains how colourful a soul can be??” “Is that supposed to be sarcasm?” I asked.“No, I mean it!”“Black is ... . black I mean nothing is in its just dark!”..“Black can also mean darkness, and darkness covers even the most colourful things when it comes!” He smirked.
Chapter Thirty NineKillianThe more I was with her, the more I wanted to show her things I dared not show anyone, I was becoming vulnerable.I stared long into the sky, thinking that that wishing star I wished upon many years ago forgot my prayers.“So what did you wish for?” She asked.“I asked the wishing star for peace!” I replied, she looked at me like I had grown two heads.My definition of peace was just way different from my mom's, she had a total representation of peace that was not in any way close to mine.Seeing wishing start was a thing of joy for me when I was a kid, I mean Beautiful things from space coming to give the earth temporary light that burns out in seconds.“Mom, what burns bright but temporarily like the meteorites that hit earth?”... My teenage self asked my mom.That question till date I didn't know where it came from it just came to mind and I knew I had to ask it.She sat me down while she handed me a painting brush.“Love that isn't love!” She replied.
Chapter FortyDesireeWhere could he possibly be??One moment I turn around and he is gone!!I walked down the passage way, and I instantly remembered where we were last time.I rushed out to the balcony and I met him there but he was bent down and his face was down.“What is wrong?” I voiced loud enough for him to hear me.“Don't come closer than that!” He wanted.The moment he spoke I coultfeel his voice shaking.Why would his voice be shaking?“Why?” I asked taking another step further.“I said….please don't come closer!” He warned again this time he tried to hide the nervousness in his voice.That was when it hit me…Killian was crying and trying so hard to hide it from me.I went quiet so I could listen to his breathing and his breathing confirmed to me that he was indeed crying.What could have made him want to cry ???Never had I ever thought I would see him crying not in a thousand life time.I closed the gap between us and bent down to meet his height.He was surprised seeing
Chapter Forty oneDesiree“I'm glad I was able to see you again my baby” my mom expressed as we made our way down to the garage where Killian's car was packed.“Same here mom and I would really miss you!” Killian was going to drop my mom off because she had checkups the following day she needed to meet up with the doctor and she prefers to be where she was registered.She hugged me and I wished she wouldn't go.“Mum, I promise I will find a way to come see you!” I assured her.“All I want for you is to be safe!” She advised..“And besides your…. friend here will send my regards to you!” ..“Mooom..you know I can call you Also,. Killian is not the only one who has a phone!” I said sarcastically, glaring at Killian who was just smiling sheepishly.My mom went ahead to also give Killian a hug.“Mi hijo!” She expressed and patted him on the back..“Mom, he doesn't speak Spanish!”. I stated.“Yo hablo Espanol!” Killian spoke in Spanish.My head was blown!!!!!!There were times I spoke in
