“So, you told him that you have a date with Sam after work?” Faith asked Piper while she popped a wedge of an orange in her mouth. “Yes,” Piper answered with her head hanging low. She was clutching her hair in her fist. “Hmm,” Faith expressed as she put the half-eaten orange on the plate and placed it on the table at the side. She glanced at Mateo, who still hasn’t opened his eyes – even after three and a half weeks, “But, you don’t?” She squinted her eyes with dusting her hands off. “No.” “Sam likes you, but he didn’t ask you on a date yet?” “No.” “Do you want Sam to ask you out?” “No.” “So, you lied to Kai?” “Yes.” “Now you don’t know what to do?” Piper heaved a sigh and look up at Faith, who was clearly enjoying their conversation more than her, “Exactly.” Faith sighed and looked at Mateo. He has yet to wake up. “If this doesn’t wake you up, what will?” She muttered, but as usual – she didn’t get a response. All she can hear is the beeping sounds from the IV pump and t
Foxy And Her Guardian 85: The Weak Moments (Kai and Piper Special)
Silence. Kai walked back into the art room, leaving the door wide open for Piper – while Piper was still confused. She heard him loud and clear – he asked her to come in, but still, even when she is absolutely sure that was what Kai said – she didn’t want to assume. She stood still outside while she looked inside the room. There was little to no light in there. She doesn’t understand how Kai was painting in there. She squints her eyes.When Piper didn’t follow him in. He walked back to the door, “You either come in or go away.” He said. Piper could see him more clearly in the light. She noticed that Kai has changed into a grey hoodie and dark grey sweatpants. Her eyes fell on his feet – this was the first time she saw his bare feet. He didn’t have any shoes or socks on. His paint-stained hands hang by his sides. Piper has never seen him this comfortable before.“Stop staring and make up your mind! If you choose to leave – close the door behind you.” Kai snapped at her before he walked
Foxy And Her Guardian 86: Mateo Returns
Faith was waiting for this day for three weeks. She wasn’t even sure if she will ever see this day come. She was slowly losing hope, but then it happened. It wasn’t a dramatic moment, but it sure was surreal. She spend days and nights beside him, talking to him, asking him to wake but he didn’t – but the minute she walked out of his room to get something to eat for herself, Mateo decided to wake up. She didn’t know he has woken up until she returned to find him surrounded by a doctor and two nurses.This is not how she pictured him waking up. She thought it was would like in dramas she watched or the books she read. She would be holding his hand, begging him to open his eyes – and he would do so, and tell her that even when he was sleeping, he heard and felt her all this time. Maybe it is time Faith pulls herself out of her little fictional world. She was still living in it, after how messy everything had gotten for her lately.When she entered the room, Mateo glanced at her. He didn’
Foxy And Her Guardian 87: Giving In To The Urge
(A MONTH LATER) A month. It took Mateo a month to come to Blaire’s grave. After three long weeks of unconsciousness, Mateo was released from the hospital a week later. Everyone thought that the first thing he would do after his bed rest periods ended would be visiting Blaire's grave. After all, he couldn’t attend her funeral. But even when Mateo wore a mask, stitched with bravery and strength, he couldn’t bring himself to go to see one of his best friends buried deep in the ground. For the month after he was discharged, Mateo kept himself busy with work. He held online meetings. He worked from home – from his bed. He completely engrossed himself with everything that could take his mind off Blaire. He thought it would get easier for him once Aldo dies, but he was wrong. After the chaos ended, he truly started to miss her. Blaire’s absence was getting more vivid and nothing could distract him – not even Faith’s presence. Faith didn’t even try to stop Mateo from grieving – she knew ho
Foxy And Her Guardian Kai And Piper: Can't Catch A Break
Piper didn’t really understand what was happening. Her mind had stopped wandering around and instead was now focused on the fact that Kai had him pinned against the wall. He was holding her hand over her head – while his body was pressing against her. This was the same Kai who didn’t even like to be near anyone. He is the same person who doesn’t like the human touch. He wore gloves all the time – he was wearing them right now as well, but still – he was pinning her hands above her head. Piper felt his breath on her skin as he brought his face closer to her. His nose poked her cheek. Her heart raced and her breathing labored. She closed her eyes and let him gently rub his nose on her cheek. “Why are your cheeks so cold?” He whispered. She had to gulp before she could speak, “They are always cold,” she replied. She felt his hand intertwining with hers over her head, “Your hands are cold as well.” He added. She nodded her head, “I know.” “Are you feeling cold?” He asked her. She qu
Foxy And Her Guardian 88: I Scratch Your Back, You Scratch Mine
“You know that you now have a say in this, right? With Aldo gone, the power is now transferred to you and Kai – and, well, Dario – but since he refused to be a part of it – we are all assuming that it is just you and Kai.” Felix said to Faith as he placed the cup of coffee on the table. Faith, Kai, and Felix were in Kai’s office. Even when Faith had already shown no interest in it, Felix asked her to join the meeting – so, here she is. “I already told you, Felix. I don’t want to be a part of it either.” She heaved a sigh. She glanced at Kai, who didn’t seem like he was a part of this conversation. He was completely zoned out. She looked back at Felix, “Look, I was pushed into this situation. I don’t even know how everything works here – and if I am being completely honest with you – it is all perilous for me.” Felix hunched and placed his elbows on his knees, “Do you really believe that sitting out of this business, you will be safe? No. You are Aldo Bianchi’s daughter. He might be
Foxy And Her Guardian 89: One Last Goodbye
Mateo returned home after meeting Kai. He walked into the living room to see Faith sitting on his couch with Rex curled up on her lap. She was petting the purring cat. She didn’t even lift her gaze to look at him. He also wasn’t startled to find her there. Even before he walked into the living room, he knew she was there. As soon as he unlocked the door, he smelt her sweet scent. What surprises him was how did she get in. He doesn’t remember giving her the code to access and how did the security didn’t stop her?Mateo walked closer to her. She finally exhaled and looked at him. She didn’t smile. She didn’t frown. She just looked at him impassively – just like he does. She truly was catching on with him. Mateo put his hands in his pockets, “How did you get me?” She scratched Rex’s head and shrugged, “I have my way.” She replied and tilted her head, “How did the meeting with Kai go? What plan did you and my brother come up with for you to get rid of me?”Mateo’s lip barely tugged. He w
Foxy And Her Guardian [+18] 90: Dirty Thoughts
“Can I move in with you?” Faith didn’t think twice before she blurted the question out. She and Mateo were sitting in his home office. He was going through some of the work documents and she was just wandering around – looking through his book collection. She was just wondering what it would be like if she decided to live with him – just how different her life was going to be. She pictured herself around him when he came back home or when they had dinner together. She was imagining everything normal and boring she craved to feel with him. She didn’t mean to blurt out the question. They haven’t even agreed to properly date each other yet. Her face was facing her – even when she couldn’t see him. She could feel him freeze. Her eyes widened and she swiftly turned around. She covered her mouth and shook her head, “No. No. I didn’t mean we should move in together – no,” She chuckled nervously while Mateo just blankly stared at her. His glasses rested on the bridge of his nose. His hands
