MiaIt was good to be back. I was glad that I was far from the boys for a while. I had no doubt that I was going to regain my senses soon if I was far from them. The proximity to them was doing shit to my head. Thankfully, my colleagues had gotten over what was wrong with them and didn't act like they were possessed as they had done that time. They were all happy to see me and gushed about how better I looked with the leave that I took. Sammy was at my table during lunch break. "Welcome back to work." "Thank you." I smiled back at him."Here." He said, handing me a bag.I checked inside it and found out that it was a necklace that was inside it. It was beautiful but my heart twinged with guilt and discomfort knowing why he was giving me. I couldn't take it. That would be unfair of me. I decided that I had to be honest with Sammy. I couldn't let this go on for long and make it seem like I was stringing him along.With the way I wasn't enthusiastic about our dates, I thought he woul
MiaI could still feel eyes on me. I felt like an ant under a microscope and all my moves were being observed and recorded. It was getting worse with each passing day and night, most especially at night because that was when I felt it the most. I was starting to get anxious and it showed in everything I did. I jumped when I heard my name. I watched my back everytime I walk at night. I almost ran like crazy the other night I was walking home and felt someone trailing me only for the person to make a turn at the next junction. I almost jumped out of my skin at work two days ago when the office telephone rang. It took me a while to realize that it was the telephone on my desk but by that time, everyone already had their eyes on me, wondering why I looked like I had seen a ghost at the sound of the phone.I was becoming a nutcase as the days progressed and I felt sad that I couldn't even go for therapy. How would I tell the shrink about werewolves and the dark wizard? She would make a ca
Mia"What are you doing?" I hissed at him as I broke free from his hold."What does it look like to you?" He replied with that cool tone that used to sound intimidating to me. At the moment, I was too annoyed to bother with his cold attitude.Gerald looked from me to him, wondering what was going on. He looked lost and confused and I felt bad about putting him in this spot. He might not talk to me at work after tonight and that hurt. He was meant to be my distraction but Quinn had just ruined that for me. Quinn was going to leave tonight and ruined my chances of being with someone who was going to stay to solve my dilemma.That alone, asides from his sudden appearance and rude attitude, was enough to get me mad at him."Can someone please tell me what is going on or make some introductions?" Gerald asked. "Did you go out with me with a boyfriend waiting for you at home, Mia?"I winced at the accusation in his words and felt ashamed even though I didn't do what he thought I did. I coul
MiaTwo weeks had passed since I kissed Quinn. Oh! How much it shamed me to say that I kissed him. I guessed I would have felt better if I had been able to say that he kissed me instead but I couldn't deny that I kissed him.I had kissed him and I couldn't deny that. I could still feel how my lips had moved under his, in response to his nudges. I was embarrassed.It was said that time healed all wounds and people forgot events easily with it but I couldn't forget that night. It was etched in my brain and I doubted that I could forget it. I could still remember everything, every tiny detail of the kiss, how my moan had sounded, how my skin had clung to him, how my arms had gone ahead of me and did what I didn't ask them to by holding on to me.I felt like a slut, one with short memories. I hissed at myself. Even sluts didn't kiss any of their brothers but I had gone ahead to kiss two of them. I was embarrassed. I still remember how Quinn had teased me about enjoying the kiss. I felt aw
MiaI couldn't take it anymore. Quinn was the same the following day. He acted like I didn't exist during breakfast, ignoring me like he always did. The same thing happened at lunch and I couldn't hold on to my patience anymore. How could he come over to my place when I wasn't expecting him, kiss me and still be the one playing hard to get? It just wasn't right.Even as a girl, I wasn't thinking much of boys. It was ironic that my boy problems began when I was in my twenties.I watched his pace at dinner. I noticed that he was eating his meal quickly again and had decided to leave early. I matched my pace with his and started to rush my food. I planned to finish eating and leave the table before him. I didn't trust him. I knew I wasn't going to catch up to him if I allowed him to leave first. I was going to leave and wait for him. He would have no chance of escaping me that way."Mia, you seem to have a hearty appetite tonight." Mum grinned at me."The food is good." I smiled at her,
MiaI dashed to my room in a rush. I didn't even bother to lock the door, deciding to deal with it later. If I had known, I would have locked it because it was an act that I regretted moments later.I was troubled in my mind. What have I done? I shouldn't have asked Quinn why he was avoiding me. Now, everyone knew how I felt and what had happened.I paced around the room, clenching my hands together and bit my lips, lost in thoughts. My phone rang and I jumped, rushing to it. I smiled as I saw the caller ID. Just who I needed to talk to at this moment of crisis."Anna!" I gushed into the phone.She chuckled. "What is this all about? Are you that happy to hear from me?""Of course, I missed you." I replied and feeling a bit guilty that I was lying to my friend. I missed her but not as much as I was pretending to be. I was only acting this way because I needed someone to talk to."I missed you too, friend." She smiled. "How have you been?"Getting myself in trouble. "Bored. It's nice t
MiaIt was a week after I left home. The weekend was fast approaching and I dreaded mum's call. I wasn't going home this weekend. I had meant to tell her when I was leaving but I didn't have the courage to. I was afraid that she would cry and make me promise to visit.Dealing with her on phone was better and I was grateful for the invention. I decided to call her before she called me and I got sentimental and pushed into making the trip back home. I was going to be in charge if I called and steered the conversation to where I wanted.Who knew who was going to ask for a kiss this time? Maybe John. That would be weird, totally weird.She picked up on the first ring as if she had been waiting for my call. "Mia, I was just about to call you." She grinned.No wonder she had picked up so fast. "Good afternoon, mum.""Are you coming home this weekend? I made some changes to the decor of the house. I bet you would like it. The boys and Albert say it's good. Come home and tell me what you thi
Mia"Come here." He said, pulling me close to him as he noticed that I was shaking, though slightly.I didn't argue with him and went to him compliantly. He was shocked as I rested my head on his shoulder and I could feel it when his breath hitched in his throat and when he finally released it. I was surprised that I allowed such close-skin contact with him. I must have been shaken more than I realized.Of course, I was shaken. It wasn't every day someone met a person who was ready to kill them because he wanted to rob them.I let out a shudder, remembering that u could have died this night if Quinn hadn't been there to save. It was funny in an odd sort of way that I had been worried about the dark wizard and expecting him to be the one to kill me that I hadn't thought of the danger that the humans around me could also pose.I was glad Quinn had been around regardless, even if he had been lurking around to save me from the dark wizard. "Drink up your tea so you can go to bed."I nodd
