>> MayaWe both smiled at each other and then exchanged a soft kiss.Cheers and roars erupted from the crowds. We parted our lips and grinned at each other, then made our way to the stage.The music shifted to a fancier one and the servers began to serve the food on the table.In a matter of seconds the romantic atmosphere turned into a lively one. Yohan and I stayed seated on the couch while many people came to congratulate us.I had gotten familiar with many fae but today I saw many more yet I was no longer overwhelmed by them. Slowly but surely I had started getting used to the magic realm and its dwellers.“Maya.” Yohan called me and I turned to him, “It’s time to throw the bouquet and cut the cake.”“Oh…” I noticed how the sun was setting and the lamp flowers were slowly coming to life to make sure the place was illuminated enough, “Okay.” Here, the custom was to throw the flowers during the setting sun because flowers represented life and the setting sun represented beautiful e
Life is full of wants and needs, desires and wishes, yearning and longing.For some things these feelings just exceed the limits because sometimes you want something so much you’d do anything to get it.But how far will you go for it? Will you cross the lines for it?If it’s something you really want, you have to be careful too, right? You don’t want to lose it permanently.That something, or someone.****>>NenaIt’s been seventeen years.Seventeen long yet fast years since I started living with Quincy.Now, I’m twenty years old and a college student.I chose fine arts as my major in college, but it’s not because I have any ambitions or a very noble goal. I’m just accumulating means that will give me what I want.I took a deep breath as I sat in the cafeteria thinking about what to do.“Hey~” Someone whispered in my ear and I looked back. It was Chris, a business major and one of the most handsome guys in the college. He was blonde with blue eyes, tall with a great figure. Someone w
>>NenaAm I a slut?NoBut will I act like one for the attention of one personYesI wore a mini skirt with a crop top and held the jacket in my hands. I always keep my hair open and apply light makeup when I’m going out so that’s what I did and made sure to apply a darker shade of lipstick for a certain someone to notice.After checking myself out in the mirror I made my way out of my room and went downstairs to make Quincy’s coffee.Quincelet is a vampire who raised me since I was like three.We have no relation at all except the fact he took pity on me and my sister and decided to take us in till we were ready to leave.My older sister, Maya is no longer with us though and I remember how much I cried when she said she was going to leave but that was ten years ago.Now, I’m a grown woman and I have a very clear objective that I want to achieve no matter what.I went to the kitchen, made his morning coffee with my ‘special’ recipe and then walked to his study to give it to him.I di
>>NenaAs soon as we arrived at the university, I changed my attire since I had no intention of showing off my body and my charms to random people. I changed into pants and wore the jacket I had brought along with me and buttoned up.I actually had no idea Chris would be there in the morning and even though it worked out well I still feel a bit weird since I showed him a lot of my skin too.“Well,” I had told them about what happened, “What now?” Quincy wasn’t really fazed at all.“It won’t work,” Nathan said, “If the problem is that he sees like a daughter-”“That’s a big problem,” Sam just had to make that remark.“Yes, that’s a big problem,” Nathan continued, “But the first thing we have to do is make sure he sees as an individual woman.”“How!?” I was frustrated, “What do I have to do?” We were sitting on the round table outside the canteen.“I guess the biggest problem would be the age gap.” Nathan said. Now the best thing about these three is that all of them know that Quincy i
>>Nena“Gurl, avoiding him won’t take you anywhere.” Nathan was giving me a lecture while I had my head down on the round table outside the canteen. It was like our spot where we discussed plans, “You’ve been avoiding him for two days now. The festival is in two weeks!”“My heart won’t let me see him.” I stared into space.“Oh God!” Nathan sighed, “Come on Nena!” He looked at the clock on his phone, “I have a class so I have to go.” Chris and Sam didn’t make it to our ‘get me and Quincy together’ discussion plan since they had consecutive classes, “Listen,” Nathan sat down next to me, “You want him to be yours right?”I nodded my head while my face was still on the table, “Yea…” I could feel the dust on the surface get smouldered on my cheek.“Then it’s not the time to mope.” He grabbed my ear, “This happens every now and then, he has to feed, he’s a vampire,” He got me to sit up.“Ow!” I slapped away his hand, “He’s a half!” I gritted my teeth, “He’s half Fae,” I glared at him, “A ra
>>Nena“Quincy~” I popped my head in his office, “Your coffee.” I gave it to him while he was taking some notes on his notepad.“Thanks.” He took a sip from it immediately and smiled, “I just love the taste of this coffee.” He gave me a glance, “This is what I like.” He smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat, “You being friendly and not ignoring me.”“Hehe,” I felt a little flustered, “And me too, right?” I looked at him with glistening eyes.He chuckled, “If that’s what makes you happy.”“Hey! You have to say it!” I pouted.“Yes, I like you too.”I smiled brightly, “I know,” I chuckled, “I am the best after all.”He just chuckled in return and kept doing his words.“I’m leaving for college.” I told him as I walked towards the door.“Is your friend picking you up again?” He asked as his eyes shifted onto the laptop screen.“Yes,”“Alright.”There was no other reaction from him. Rather, he seemed too busy to even give me one.***In today’s meeting session, Nathan was absent because
>>NenaNo matter how much I wanted to deny it, it all came right in front of me like a hard slap to my face.Sam and Chris were right.Nothing had worked.Absolutely nothing has changed. Except the fact that, now I feel like I’m not even worth what I thought I was before.I’m just a human.Someone who was there for a fleeting period in his life. Will I even be remembered after a few years?I heard Quincy’s door get shut and I knew she and him were together in his office now.My heart broke. It felt like a glass that fell on the hard concrete floor and shattered into tiny uncountable pieces.I looked down in misery and began to slowly walk towards the room.My thoughts felt like they were jumbling up and it felt suffocating. I didn’t want to be in the same space as her.Why did she appear now?I feel so bad and stupid!I walked into the corridor and stood in front of Quincy’s office. I heard them talking but couldn’t hear.Shit!I bit my lips and ran out to the open corridor, to the b
>>NenaI took a deep breath, then looked up and through the thick trees, I could barely see the sky.A sky full of stars.Wait- full of stars?I stood up.The trees are really thick too and the air is so crisp! Plus there is absolutely no sound of anything artificial.My eyes went wide as I realized where I might be!Just then the sound of a bird caught my attention and I looked in the direction of the sound where I saw a big white raven making its way towards me.My heart began to pound as I had an idea who that might be.The raven dove closer to the ground and as it was about to reach me it shape-shifted.The smaller body transformed into that of a tall sturdy man.A beautiful man with pale skin, silverish white hair and emerald green eyes.His fantasy style clothes made my jaw drop, his hair was a bit longer than the last time I had seen him but he was as youthful as ever.He approached me quietly with a serious expression but I couldn’t contain my joy when I saw him, “Yohan!?” I e
