Sun sank lower in the sky, the light of day draining away, giving way to the velvety dark of night, crickets chirping, dusky, colours subdued in the fading light, the first buzz of mosquitoes, street lights click on, day winding down, the first star in the night sky, short June darkness, the air became cooler, evening landscape, twilight had fallen, the sharp shadow of the lamppost had faded into the dark of the sidewalk, fading light, only the faintest of light shone through the leaves, soon it grew dark, darkening sky, a close silence in the dim evening light.
The first thing she thought about was... "Hope..." she murmured and Ryan somehow heard it as he took a sip of his coffee saying, "Who is Hope?"
"My best friend. We live together," she replied and gave a nod.
"I heard some brave things about you," he said out of nowhere when she was busy read

"Why are you interested in me, Christian?" she asked as he wrapped a bandage on her scratched elbow when he looked deep in her eyes."You have a beautiful fiance. Why me?" she again asked because she wanted answers.She wanted to know why the man handsome like him would want to have her but not the rich and pretty girl he has by his side."Because, I'm in love with you," he replied honestly.“But I’m not pretty,” she said, “I don’t have hair the russet colour of autumn, or eyes the sweet colour of spring.”“No,” he replied, “You do not. You have hair like the wind, wild and free. Eyes like the night, deep and mysterious. You don’t look like everyone else’s definition of pretty; you look like my definition of pretty. You have the look of adventure, of a spirit that can soar, and to me, that will always be more attractive than any colour or shape in the universe.”He listens as if her words are golden, perhaps some elixir he's been waiting all his d

Amelia did not open the door neither Christian forced her to do so. It was her choice and he respected it."Do you want to know where did I first saw you?" he asked and she breathed so that he can know he can speak."Silver moon... where you first dragged by Richard. We got bumped into each other... that's where I saw your beautiful yet frightened face. You were pure like an ocean pearl, Amelia. Nothing... and no one is this world I had seen this magnificent. Your beauty is out of this world.""Blair always used to say to me that I must appreciate her, explain how is she looking... compliment her but I never did... because I didn't know how to do this. But with you... the words automatically come out of my mouth. I'm not making that up neither I am telling you to open this door if you don't want to.""I am tired, Amelia. And I want your support, I want you to love me... just like you loved Stig... even if my name is Christian Valentino... I will always remain

He gave his speech and every single person in the party seems to impress by him."From now on, I will take the name of Johnson to the heights of the sky," he spoke his last sentence and it was ended by the cheerful round of applause.The lights were open and Amelia saw her best friend was also at the party.She ordered orange juice for her and took it to her as she spoke, "You didn't tell me you were coming.""It was the last minute plan. Kristopher wasn't going but Christian asked him to and he did not want to leave me alone so he took me with him," replied the best friend as she took the glass of juice from her best friend's hand and took a sip."Amelia..." Ryan came and then he saw Hope as he spoke, "Who is this beautiful girl with you?""She's Hope... my best friend," when he offered a hand to shake Hope smiled shaking hands with him as he said, "Where were you pretty girls all my life?" And the familiar muscular voice interrupted him by sayin

"Blair!" Christian slammed his hand on the table and Amelia who just walked in with a tray of coffee in her hands was startled."Shout as much as you can. I am your fiance and I will come whenever I need to," she said and stood up, turned to leave when she grazed Amelia's shoulders and the tray of coffee slipped from her hands and fell on the floor, shattering into a million pieces."Watch your back " murmured Blair before walking out of the cabin."Amelia!" he stood up and walked to her to see if she was hurt by something."I am okay," she replied when his face was filled with fidgety."Are you okay?" she asked sitting beside him on the long sofa when he replied, "I am sick and tired of this relation."He just looked her closely and she was nothing looking like an assistant.She was in her vans, wearing jeans and a check shirt. It looked like she was at her college or came in a picnic."Christian... I..." she was interrupted by

As Christian was about to hit Ryan with the crowbar, the quick female voice interrupted them by saying, "Wait!"All three of them turned to see Amelia with her breaths high as she was panting went on her knees."Amelia!" Christian threw the crowbar on the ground and ran to his girl who was breathing heavily, her forehead full of sweat."C-Christian... do... not... kill... him..." she said breathing deeply when he replied, "Okay, relax."Ryan when saw the attention was being diverted quickly grabbed the crowbar and was about to hit Kristopher when he grasped the crowbar in the midway, smirking."Will you double-cross your father, now?" Kristopher asked grinning when he pushed Ryan and he fell on the ground."I thought you are a nice guy," Amelia said making a disgusted face when Ryan was bowing his head down, both of his hands tied."I can't believe you've been sleeping with my fiance," Christian scoffed when the marketing manager repl

"Yours, huh?" he asked with narrowed brows when she hesitated, felt nervous and bit her lips when she spoke, "I-I... didn't...said anything... wrong."She was cute when she stuttered. He was actually feeling superior with her when he saw she was nervous around him.Guys in relationships want authority. And now living with Amelia, he was getting all the authorities he ever needed.He never felt this with Blair. But with Amelia... she changed his whole life and in a better way, of course.He pulled her closer as now, they were just an inch apart when he spoke, "Christian Valentino is yours."His hot breath reached directly to her lips and nose and she breathed heavily.Before she could react or make any move, he pressed his lips against hers.Next day when everything was arranged for Spain, Amelia and Christian, like a power couple stepped out of the apartment.First, they went to Kristopher's villa where they saw all of them wer
Black Lace 79. BEAUTY IN RED.
The house looked like a cut out from Architects Today magazine. It was beautiful but not in the olde-worlde quaint kind of way she was usually drawn to. Everything was geometric, which is about almost any pitched roof abode with square windows, but on this chalet, she couldn't help but notice it. The roof was flat for a start and the door as wide as it was tall. The windows took up entire walls with only polished steel beams to break them into yet more rectangles. The look would have been entirely metallic like a mini downtown skyscraper had it not been for the cedar beams of the external porch and the matching raised plant beds that contained only white blooms.All the newest features were built into the house with no sentimentality for the old ways.Every luxury of life was present there. Amelia was roaming around the chalet observing everything closely."Christian... this is..." she was lost with words when Christian replied, "You like it?""I lo

"That girl there... in the wedding dress who is pretending to be the heartbroken one.. is actually the one who caused me agony and pain. She slept with the guy who was the marketing manager in my company. Not even one time... but many times. Also, Blair hid that she can't be a mother, ever!" he spat in anger when Blair's eyes were nothing but bulged out."So, tell me, people. Who would marry the girl who betrayed me two fucking times? I would never...""Amelia had sacrificed her love for me... she told me to marry her. Why? Because my happiness is much more important to her. Even though she's carrying my child..." he added confidently making all of the guests chocked while Blair was going insane."Christian Valentino! You can't do this to me!" Blair piqued in anger as she walked to him whilst her arm was being held in the midway."Papa..." she murmured when her father's face was covered with scorn.Blair gulped and added, "Papa, he is lying.

The bride followed in a white lacy dress, escorted by her friends. They walked in a slow and doll-like pace. The wedding was also an occasion for socializing.Blair's face was impassive, she was clearly annoyed.The guests were gossiping about the bride and the groom. Everybody was thinking that the groom wasn't coming and he ditched her at the last moment.Stacey was so sure that her grandson has run away but the best friend was here. He might know something."Amelia..." Christian said in a low voice when he saw Amelia was standing close to the water, her bare feet on the sand.In front of her were the magnificent view, the sea, the sky and the wind.The waves roll in, each of them as strong and bold as the last. They come without fear of the beach, embracing their destiny upon the dawn sands. Amelia walks forwards until the water soaks her bare feet, her shoes already dangling in her left hand. Not once does she gaze downward a

Weddings are grand affairs. Normally, it only occurs once in a lifetime. It brings about a bondage between a man and a woman.They promised to share the happiness and the sorrows together. It is a very pure bond in the whole world.The wedding hall was all illuminated with different colour bulbs and decorated with pots of flowers, pots and other glittering decorations. A magnificent platform was erected which held two throne-like chairs for the bride and the bridegroom.The platform and the stage was the banquet hall of a five-star hotel with its thick red carpets and floral decorations. The cool fragrance was so strong that everyone left sleepy. There was a place by the side for music troops with their enormous music instruments. They played loud and soft music.The marriage party was to start at six in the evening and the wedding reception was scheduled at eight in the night.A big white canopy with tons of white lilies and purple orchids were pl

"Listen to me, Bryce..." Blair whispered in a very low voice when she was in the suite of the Plaza Hotel, surrounded by the makeup artists."Excuse me, people..." she said to the makeup artists and hairstylists who went away leaving the two of the friends."What is it?" Bryce asked sipping the glass of her wine as she was comfortably leaning back on the seat, wearing a bathrobe.Blair's hair was half tied up while the rest let loose on her both sides of the shoulders."By the way, you are going to make a very pretty bride," the best friend complimented when Blair rolled her eyes as she hushed her up."Shut up and listen to me..." Blair said when she continued, "I can't conceive...""What do you want to conceive anyway?" Bryce asked with a narrowed brow and Blair, again, rolled her eyes."Are you drunk, already?" she asked with an irritated face and Bryce nodded saying, "Because it's my best friend's fucking wedding.""Also, sh

The wedding day has arrived and Christian's anxiety was increasing with every minute passing by.He was awake but not leaving the bed, scared to step out and face the world.Amelia, who woke up before him and had a shower and prepared the breakfast, walked in the room and spoke, "Come on, have something. The breakfast is ready."He tossed to the other side saying, "Not hungry..." and she knew why he wasn't eating."Christian..." she stepped in the bed and put her small hand on his face to cup it as she spoke, "Christian... you are a strong guy. Don't be a coward.""I am a coward, Amelia. I can't face the world. I can't face Blair and all of my family members and the press and... and you... How can I face you after the wedding? How can I part the time from my schedule to handle two women at a time, if that's what you're thinking," he blurted out without thinking and sits to lean back on the bed as he continued, "You the most important person i

"No need to wear the bow with it," Kristopher said to his best friend who was checking the bow if it matched with his tuxedo."I was thinking the same," he replied as he gave the bow back to the sales guy.Christian and Kristopher were in the Armani store, selecting the wedding suit for the groom.His face was impassive, he had no excitement, no happiness or any other emotion in his face.Tomorrow is his wedding and he is not happy at all. What was he waiting for? The wedding to happen or the wedding to get stopped?"Christian, your grandma wants to meet you..." Kristopher informed him when he was lost in deep thoughts.When the guilt comes it takes him down the old familiar path. He wants to refuse to walk it, pretend that he's the person he demands that he would be. He wants to see himself in sepia tones, not perfect colour. He wants to scrub his head, but if he did he'd never learn from what happened. And it's true what they say, “T

Christian and Amelia were bare skin, laying close to each other, her head rested on his chest as she heard the slow heartbeats of him.His heart beats around her was always leisure as if he was calm and relaxed with her.The ring of his phone interrupted their peace and as he saw the name, he quickly stood up from the bed, wearing his clothes, as he attended the call."Yes, Blair?" he spoke when he turned the speaker on, wearing the pants."Baby, where are you?" she asked in a sweet voice when Amelia quickly made an awkward face by squinting her eyes as she raised one side of the mouth, babbling with no voice and Christian indicated her to stay quiet.After talking on the phone when Amelia was laying on the bed, she copied Blair's voice by saying, "Babbyyyy... where are you, baby? Christian... come to me, please.""My hair will go white if you don't come in a minute..." she said with the change of voice when he chuckled and said, "did

When Christian didn't say a word, she understood as she withdrew her hand from his grip and the machines which were attached to her started beeping continuously.Blair's breath was high by now and she was struggling for air. Gasping for oxygen when Christian quickly pressed the help button next to her bed and made her wear the oxygen mask.Blair wasn't wearing the oxygen mask when the doctors came in they rushed towards her as they said, "Wear this mask.""No... I... won't. Christian... I want... answers," she said gasping for air struggling not to wear the oxygen mask.The doctors along with Christian was trying to wear her the oxygen mask."Blair, I will give you the answer. First, wear this mask," he pleaded when she refused to wear the oxygen mask.He gave up and quickly said, "Okay, Blair. I promise you to be your groom and we will get married on the same day."The seconds she heard those relaxing words, she immediately wor
