Florentine joined even though she was scared of handling a gun. She was eager but the moment Carl walked into the field, her entire being became weak. All sense of excitement died and she was enveloped with a great feeling of shyness. She was stiff trying not to look in his direction but somehow they both caught each others gaze and her heart pounded so loud. Everything was set and Angel was the first to teach Thea before Knight and cassandra joined. Before the practice started, the others had started checking out the guns and fake bullets to be used. Florentine could see the men teaching the ladies how to hold the gun. From time to time she and Carl looked in each other's direction, it got so obvious that they knew they were both checking each other out and the tension grew between them. Florentine was the most tensed. She had been avoiding him ever since that night she brough cookies to him. They did bump into each other several times or caught their gaze but Florentine would hur
"Thea...." Carl called as he approached."Hi carl." Thea greeted, waving curtly at him. "I was coming to see you." He said surprising her. She turns back to look at Florentine who overheard him. "Me? Are you sure?" "Why not?" "Nothing...." She stretches the word. Florentine walks past them but both she and Carl could not resist the urge to look at each other. Thea noticed the affection between them. This was definitely not one sided. Carl turns his gaze back to her and acts uncomfortable knowing she had just caught him watching Florentine. "What is it?" "Uhh.... He laughs nervously making Thea curious."Are you okay?" Thea asked finding his sudden laughter weird. He hesitates before speaking."What did Florentine speak with you about?" "Why do you want you want to know?" Thea said, she wasn't going to let him have it easy. She wanted to get the truth out of him as well. "I think she doesn't feel comfortable around me." He blurts and sighs like a weight had been lifted. "Who k
She hastens her step and moves towards the mansion. Carl was taking his time following her, he didn't want to give the others the wrong Idea. When they got into the mansion he hastened his steps. Florentine wouldn't look back till she got to her room she could feel how close he was. Her heart was beating so fast. She yearned for him but was overwhelmed by the flooding feelings she had for him. Their was a growing heat of desire for him and the same was what carl felt for her. He wasn't going to let her push him away like other times or avoid him. He didn't know what he was going to say exactly but he just missed her and wanted to see her. "Florentine." Carl called and she stopped in her flight. The tip of her fingers felt cold. Her breath raced.Keeping her desires in was getting too difficult. Carl was stealing her breath, she was almost gasping for air now."Why are you following me?" She asked without turning back. "I don't even know." He said walking towards her slowly. She t
Camila had formed the habit of staying late in bed. Caspian would usually let her sleep and wake her up to take a shower so that they could go for breakfast but today he decided they'd skip dinning with the rest and just eat together. She was still deep in sleep and he was starving already. He watched her while she slept, she seemed to be enjoying her sleep very much these days and he couldn't help but notice how beautifully she slept. The ray of the sunlight seeping through their curtain had made her face a stunning colour of fair gold. Her eyes fluttered, disturbed by the light so he went ahead to draw the thicker curtain close so that the room looked a little dim. He climbed the bed, spreading his legs apart so that her legs were enclosed within his then he leaned down to her body, carresing her belly through her nightwear. He began pulling her dress up and she stiffened feeling his touches in her sleep. He slid her dress up her thigh, then up to her belly were she was naked for
Thea It was a silent ride to the hospital and I could tell how close we were at each point because Angel's countenance kept losing it's spark gradually untill we finally got to the hospital building. Angel remained silent and I could see just how much pain he was in. I wondered if he always got like this when he came here. Knowing the story behind his mother's condition broke my heart to a thousand pieces. It was only imaginable what he was feeling everytime she crossed his mind. I stared for a moment then reached out for his hand. I touched it and rubbed it soothingly. Angel looked at me and forced a smile. "We should go now." He said. I nodded, smiling back at him. I hoped my presence will be helpful to him today. We stepped out of the car but he wasn't moving as he just stood on his side of it with his head dipped. I waited for him but then decided to go to him. "Angel." I called as my heart broke for him the moment I saw tears line his face. "I hate my father." He blurted a
"Mum...." He began. I know you always wanted me to find true love and I said I'd never find one." He dips his head and chuckles. I thought I wasn't capable of such feelings mum but I was wrong." I tuck in my lips trying to supress the tears that stung my eyes from flowing. "I found someone mum...." He said looking at me with so much passion in his eyes."... Or should I say, the universe brought someone to me and now I can't breath the thought of living without her." He continued, speaking the lines to me. I nodded encouraging him to go ahead. He returned his gaze back to his mum and continued. "She's my step-sister mum and it might not be a conventional relationship but I love Thea more than I can speak of...." He pauses for a moment as his breath gets heavy. "She's my life mum and I hope that someday you'll wake up and give us your blessings." He let out a sigh and tears up without restrain. I begin to tear up as well and rub my hands over his shoulder. "I love you so much mum and
Thea I looked forward to going to Angel's ranch everyday and finally we were here. The environment was quiet and brought a sense of peace with it. Few families lived in this side compared to the city. I wasn't a country side girl and had never been to one before. This was my very first time and it didn't let down the expectations I had for it. We passed through some farms and saw some locals along the road. They stared at us like they rarely saw people from the city or was it our fancy car that they admired? This place was quite different, almost adventurous. I looked through the window smiling as I enjoyed the sight. Some little girls waved at me and I waved back. Their smile was beautiful. Everyone here seemed to have a very simple life. "Do you like it that much?" Angel said and I tilted to catch a glimpse of him before returning my gaze back to the road."It feels peaceful." I said and knew he was smiling even without seeing him. "Indeed. Enough to forget my existence the m
We finally got down for dinner. Everyone was seated already and we joined them. At first, I was nervous about the kind of thing we'd talk about during dinner. They'd like to ask about me right? Did they know how I got to live with Angel? How I even became his girlfriend? I was really nervous but to my surprise they questions were far from it. I had the feeling that Raymond knew some things maybe more than his wife Lea but they were all nice to me especially with their questions. They spoke about Angel as a kid and his experiences whenever he came there and I could see that his life was beautiful when he visited the ranch. I was happy that he had here as a place to escape his harsh reality. While I was lost in admiration of Angle, I felt his hand touch mine below the table. He looked at me and our eyes spoke unsaid words between us. We smiled and joined the conversation again not until Jack who proved that kids were indeed curious beings blurt a question no one expected him to. "So w
