Scott's idea of him not being a romantic person is hideous because I think he is. We're seating in his car trunk. It was too late to stop by anywhere for lunch so Rose helped package some stuffs from her show glass. Including Knishes. And Scott loved that very much. Even though he didn't say it.
"Where did you get candles from?" I asked as Scott lit the last candle with a lighter.
"I guess I always had it" he shrugged.
"Why? To light your car up in the night?" I chuckled making Scott roll his eyes.
"Very funny"
"Oh lighten up." I said and laughed at my own joke.
He placed the last lighted candle on the little wood we got from Rose. He laid blankets in his trunk and we sat in while eating sugar coated junks and watching the moonlight.
"This is very nice" I said. "Romantic" I teased and Scott snorted.
"Lame" he said and i hit his sh
Scott pulled me out of the water until we were back in his trunk again. I thought I blanked out. I literally swallowed a lot of water through my nose. Scott removed the blanket from the floor of the trunk."Take your shirt off" he said. I know this is not the time to argue so I pulled the wet material up and over my head. Scott's eyes blazed on my skin before he wrapped me up in the blanket. I touched my cheeks sure they were flushing red. I was putting on a cotton bra. Not so attractive. But Scott didn't call me out on it. I was expecting him to say something sarcastic or rude but he was too busy in trying to keep me warm.If I did know better, I'd say his eyes flickered over my body appreciatively."Why'd you jump into the water like that" Scott scolded."You tickled me. Your not that innocent yourself"He frowned "Don't start with me"I rolled my eyes at him. S
I don't have classes today because it's Saturday but I went to grab some books from the library anyway. I'm working on an assignment. Since I was in school, I just stopped by that cafe to grab coffee. Usually, it's me and David but he's not here now. I wasn't so surprised to see few students were at the cafe but I smiled when a familiar red head waved at me.Kale. Scott's friend from the other day. He jogged up to me leaving his bunch of friends. Including a sassy looking blonde who kept sizing me up. What the hell? She's pretty and all that but I don't see the chances of me and her becoming friends."Stormy. Been a while" he surprisingly hugged me but I didn't flinch. I guess it's common among college students. Shaking seems old fashioned. I shrugged away with a smile."Nice to see here. You almost never come here""Yeah...this place is crap" he snorted and I chuckled.
I tried on the last gown there was to try. I and Rose picked a lot. All of different colours and sizes. All were cute and pretty but this white one really caught my eyes. I stared at myself in the mirror. it has a lace neck, it's not cut too low but sure to show some of my chest. It was short to my knee and flay like a ballet gown. Definitely a garden party dress.. I smiled as i walked out and Rose had that same expression I had on my face on her. This is it!"Your so getting that dress" Rose chimed.While I showered getting ready for Scott to pick me, Rose offered to help make pancakes. I rolled my hair into a towel and tied one round my chest as I joined Rose in the kitchen."Here's your pancake" she placed two huge pancakes on my plate and dropped a tiny one for Hailey."Thanks for making it" I said."No deal. I was hungry for one anyway" Rose dropped the last of the c
Storm POV"You don't like it?" I asked him. He seemed to be struggling with the right word to say and then he scratched behind his head. A nervous habit. I narrowed my eyes. I thought he'd like the gown."It's so....white" he said and smiled. What does that even mean. I moved out of the way so he could enter. And just like that, my mood had changed instantly. Scot swears!"Fuck! Storm you look lovely. I just didn't know what to say" he says but his eyes are so unsure. What's up with him."Let's just go to the party" I told him and grabbed my purse from my counter. The black little thing seemed to go well with my heels."Are you sure? Cause we can stay if you want""Scott!" I scold. He folds his arm leaning against the wall watching me as I paraded round the house. Not like there was anything I was doing, I just want everything to be perfect.
David led me to where a tall slim woman with blonde hair stood. I suppose she's David's mom. They had the same hair colour, only hers were darker blonde. Her eyes were light brown like her sons. He went and kissed her cheek."Mom...this is Storm" he said. I pushed my hand out to shake the woman. her smile was heart warming. Her hands were soft and tender. She smiled at me."Nice to meet you dear. David has told me a lot about you" she huffs and I grin."Good things I hope" I smiled. David winked at me and I chuckled. Scott came up behind me and handed me a glass of what I assume is strawberry drink. I rolled my eyes at him. Everyone else gets wine."Scott honey. I'm glad you came" Davids mom hugged Scott but he just stood there like a statue. The good thing is the woman still kept hugging him and showing him love. David pulled me aside."I got to show you my study room" he said with smiles
The lady intended to place her hands round Scott's shoulder but he gave her a stare so she just clapped her hands together. I chuckled. What a kill joy."I'm Storm" I said . Val looked thoughtful for a while as if she's heard about me before then she looked at Scott for a while. He must have mentioned me."Well, Storm. Nice name" she grinned. "Oh look. Aunt's singing"We all turned our gaze to the front where Danielle was singing a welcome and thank you song at the same time. I covered my mouth giggling as I saw David shaking his head and chucking."This is ridiculous" Scott whispered in my ear while wrapping his arms round my waist. That small gesture made my body tingle. It's like that anytime he touches me. I feel a pull. I wonder if he feels it too. Like a shot of electricity go through me and it doesn't kill me. Instead, it livens me."No it's not. I think it's cute" I giggled.
*songs*Cadmium- GhostJames Bay- UsIllenium- Crawl outta love******"Scott never comes to any family function or stuffs like these" Danielle shook her head while still looking at Scott through the window. I stared at him too and now he was just looking around. David was still talking but with someone else that joined them. Scott looked terribly bored."Why? Why doesn't he come?" I ask."Scott has a complicated and terrifying past. One which he's trying hard to overcome " Danielle smiled sadly. She seemed to me, closer to Scott than even his parents. I've only met Scott's mom and Val but the love this woman felt for him was more han their love. I'm sure."How complicated?"She shook her head as if shaking some bad thoughts away. "He's been in battle with himself since he was five"I gasp. That young? What happened. I wanted to ask
My alarm didn't wake me up today which was wasn't strange cause I'm not at my apartment. It doesn't smell like flour around me but musk. Manly musk. The scent of lemon. Scotts minty smell. I rolled over trying to get up but Scott's arms around me was tight. I was afraid he'll almost crush me.Since I couldn't move, I stared at him. Stared at his perfect face. Everything about it him drives me insanely crazy although, I'm not ready to admit that to him. Without thinking, I just ran my fingers down his jaw. Images of last night came flooding to my head. Him thrusting inside me, me moaning his name...my cheeks went hot instantly.Scott moved his hand so he could scratch his chin before returning them back around me."Scott" I whispered close to his ears. The sight of his lashes fluttering open, almost melted my heart. He's so handsome. How did I get so lucky? He smiled when he saw me staring at him."Good mor
Playlist;The Scientistby Corinne Bailey Rae ••• Two Years Later "You make a beautiful bride" I say to Val and her eyes brighten up like lots of stars. She seems so happy, carefree and have been super nice recently. Actually, it all started when she started dating that Ben guy. Remember? The eye-glass guy. The one that creeped the hell out of Scott at his sendforth party 2years ago. Speaking of Scott... When he left to Milan, we'd been in touch. He'd called a lot of times, we face-timed. And even though it wasn't always easy, with him being so far away, we coped. More than once I'd seen him with other girls on social meida and I'd grow jealous but he'd say they're only friends. We had a fight once because of that, and we didn't speak for a whole week but we made right up. Since then, we didn't speak much. We seemed to just distance oursel
I walk down the aisle of Target mall, picking whatever junk there is to pick. Scott is by my side. One hand stuffed in his pocket, while the other navigated the trolley.It's his last day here in NY with me and we decided to do some shopping. It wasn't the most fanciest thing to do together seeing he was leaving tomorrow but who cares! He solely agreed to come shopping with me even though he hated shopping, and malls all together."Is that all you want babe?" He asked and I grin. Oh yeah, he's paying for all the junk I pick. Consider it a little present for his going away. It's been months since I came to the realization that Scott wouldn't be with me again for a long time, but now the burden is just weighing on me so much, because it's so close."Not exactly. I want more snacks" I say and take a left turn on another aisle. Scott being the patient boyfriend that he was, followed me without complaining.
Two weeks since Scott and I have been back together. The sentence seemed impossible but here we are. Now we're planning for Scott's sendforth party to Milan. He'd be leaving in two days time, and Elle just saw it fit to throw him a party as we might not see for a year or months."That's a very unlucky color" Scott said in a annoyance behind me."Are you being sarcastic or you're just being an ass" I tell him and his eyes roll."Oh yeah, my sarcasm meter is really red right now" he sends me a short and attitudinal smile which sends me into a fit of laughter. And like all other events, Scott was thinking of sitting this one out too. But he can't, because the event was made for him."Try out the navy blue suit" I suggest."Are you fucking with me right now? It's a sendforth not a wedding!" He growls."But you want to look good" I tell him, his left brow go up.
I have my hair In a loose bun by the time I'm out for the shower, I oiled my skin, making it glow so bright. My eyes are no longer dull, my lip is no longer twitched in an annoying manner. I feel happy with myself. Happy that I'm happy within. The very person that's brought me sorrow in the last few months is now the same person making me happy. He's always been the one making me happy.And even when he couldn't remember me, somtimes I sat and thought of what could've been, or what had been. I visited the lake so many times, remembering the time I went there with Scott. I woee most of his shirts at night, and I listened to The Fray so much because it reminded me of him and the time we first argued about a favorite band, on one of the first days we met.I smile, glaring at myself in the mirror before I walk out of the bathroom, I fling on one of Scott's shirt on as I know he always loved when I wore it. Nothing's changed I hope.
Storm POVWhen I wake up, my eyes immediately dart to the floor-to-ceiling window, covered with grey and white curtains. Then I turn to stare at the grey pillow. My head didn't hurt so much, I wasn't feeling too drowsy, and I feel light.The door pushed opened and in walks Scott, his eyes wide when he sees me on the bed, then he drops the tray in his hand before hurrying to me. His arms wrap round my body and I'm rigid for a while before I burst into a fit of tears, my arms almost strangling the air out of him as I hold him tight."I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he muttered, his voice shaking. When he pulls away a little bit, I see tears in his eyes and they're red. It's not everyday you see Scott cry, and seeing him cry now, just jerks me."You remember now" I mutter with tears, my palms touching both his cheeks.He lowers his head, sobbing and hiccuping some more, I place my hand
Scott POVThe back of my head is stinging with so much pain as I try to get up from the floor. Kim is hovering over me with a look of what I think is worry in her eyes. I glare at Nolan who suddenly looked guilty for hitting me."Are you ok?" Kim asks, her palms touching my cheek.I stare round the room at the eyes staring down at me. Kale is missing and so is..."Where's Storm?" I ask as I hurry to get off the floor. Kim eyes flew wide when I ask of Storm."Did you just call her Storm and not Stormy?" Nolan asked, approaching me carefully."What the fucking hell is wrong with all of you? Where is Storm?" I yell.I see Kale run back, look of panic on his face. "I really can't find her anywhere" he says and I frown."Who?" I ask him."Stormy" Kale sighs, his hands flying into his hair."Don
Scott POVI follow Kim back into the house. Somehow, talking with Stormy made me feel relaxed about something. I don't feel so hostile agaisnt her anymore."Want a drink?" Kim asked me and I shake my head. I'm staying away from that one this night."You said Kale was looking for me""No he wasn't. I just missed you" she pouts, lifing her legs up to plant a kiss on my cheek and I sigh. I should've known it was a lie. But whatever, it's Kim and it's not new so there's no point getting mad at her.When she's done kissing my cheek, she wraps her arms round my neck, and my hand go round her waist. She's nibbling on my ear. "Let's have some fun" she whispers to me and before I can answer, she starts pulling me toward a nested couch area."Hey Kim!" The bartender calls her and her head quirks before she looks at me."Wait here" she says and then
Stormy POV"Don't tell me Escala is the place you wanted us to hang out at" I said to Nolan when we pull up on the street lane to the party mansion. I still can't understand why a place like that could be used as a party hangout spot for horny and crazy teenage kids."You don't like here?" Nolan asked.I don't just dislike the place. I hate the place. It's the reason I and Scott are apart now. The reason so many bad things happened to Scott and and I. And I'm not not neglecting the fact that Scott is going to be there with Kim."Just relax alright?"Kale invited me for his birthday party, but I purposely wanted to skip it, and here I am pulling up into Escala's driveway. I let out a sigh, preparing for another worst night of my life.The party is already on. Half dressed females as usual, all packed out by the pool, while guys with hot trunks drove into th
Flames! I'm in a car. I'm not little. I'm my big self, watching my little self crying for my grandparents that are locked up in flames inside the car. How I got out is still a miracle to me. I'm standing, watching, helpless. There's nothing I can do. I try to move. Try not to hold the little boy that's crying, and comfort him, but I can't. Then there's that voice. A females voice that I've been hearing in my nightmares"You don't love me anymore, I need you back!" Knock! Knock!I groan getting up from bed at the continuous knocking going on at my room door. My head is throbbing and I'm having a site headache. It's been like this for hours, that's why I took a nap, but it's still there."What?!" I bark when I open the door and see one of the guys staring at me, his eyes wide at my rudeness, but he should be used to it now."Kale said to wake you up. Party starts in an hou
