"Bad enough to live with you even after you scared the hell out of me." She smiled, but it didn't quite reach her eyes."Do I scare you, Brielle?" I asked her, momentarily stunned. I know I can be intimidating sometimes."A bit."I can't do this. I can't take advantage of her weakness.Do you want the money and investment? You don't have to work for me. I can help you. " I offered herShe looked surprised for a minute but then resumed eating the ice cream."Thank you but no thank you." I'd rather pay back myself. I don't need any more favors. "Jesus, she is so stubborn."I mean it, Emberly." You don't have to pay me back immediately. Take your time. " I tried once more."Am I that bad? I will try my best. " Her voice was so low, almost a whisper.I sighed deeply, feeling pity for her.Pride and stubbornness are her dangerous qualities."So how are we going to make this work?"What was it about her that compelled me to learn more about her?"I don't know. You are perfectly fine when y
Brielle POVI still remember, when I was small, I always thought that tone day I will meet my soulmate who will love me and only me like every normal girl dreams After Zuriel comes into my life, I've started feeling the emotions, I've been even though, I would never feel after sloping my parents I started feeling, jealousy, love, care, worry, for him which I'd even never thought will be felt again But here there is a twist in the taleZuriel didn't love me/he loves someone else My eyes felt so blurry as I was walking on an empty deserted road, my chest felt so heavy, even my limbs felt so light like they didn't belong to me, my eyes felt sore, and when I tried to will my tears away, I winced when a sharp pain occurs in my head Suddenly, the rain started falling over, making me trembling I hugged myself and sat on the side of the road below the large tree I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged myself more Zuriel was in love with someone else, I don't even know that did he
Ah, hell.Why did she have to be so damn gorgeous? She snuck a glance at me."Why?" I asked curiously."What do you mean, why?" She scrunched her nose. "This should be the other way around. You are caring, sweet, and charming, even though you can get on my nerves sometimes. And sometimes you annoy me so much that I think I hate you and you pull my...I never let her complete the sentence. I raised my upper body, bent my head and took her mouth with mine. The scent of chocolate and coconut swarmed my senses. Her lips fit perfectly with mine, supple and soft. I braced myself for her protest, but she gave a little moan, sinking her fingers into my hair.In some dim corner of my mind, I knew what I was doing was way wrong. I was leading her on without any promises. But I knew if I didn't kiss her, she'd be the death of me. The taste of chocolate lingered on her tongue, along with a honeyed sweetness. My head spun as I became drunk on her, diving in and out of that silky mouth for more. Be
And I hated that! I hated that even after all this time she still remained in my mind, in my memories. Brielle blinked and shook her head. I wondered what she was thinking about. Maybe how fucked up I am!"Walter Anderson once said bad things do happen to everyone; bad accidents, bad relationships... but how we respond to them defines our character and the quality of our life. I know it hurts like hell but you can choose to sit in perpetual sadness... immobilized by the gravity of your loss, or you can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift you have - life itself. You are an... amazing guy and any girl would be lucky to have you but you are being extremely unfair to yourself... ""He said 'Zuriel Richardson' is an amazing guy"?" I teased and she rolled her eyes"No, I said that but he did say "pain is a part of life, it is what makes us human, it shapes us and helps us just as laughter and love do, you don't have to forget her, but you cannot let it destroy y
6:35 amThe bright numbers on the clock nearly made me pull my hair out. Talk about being a non-violent person! I couldn't believe I had spent an entire night thinking about his past! My mind was telling me not to judge her so quickly since I only knew one side of the story. It took two to tango, so maybe it wasn't entirely her fault? This was something that I couldn't agree on. I stared at the ceiling till I could see the rays of sunshine through the blinds.Great! Its morning already!I quietly climbed out of the bed deciding to have a long bath to soothe my tense muscles. After slipping into a sundress, it was a warm day. I decided to call Analia using one of the apps I had on my phone. Good thing this mansion has free Wi-Fi!"Hey." She picked up on the first bell."Hey, how are you?" I asked her."Not bad at all, still clinging on your brother, " she chuckled and I laughed No matter how hurt she was, she never let it show it on mood, she always managed to eht I've rit, I wish I
"Have a nice day." She says chirpily and winked at me before turning back.With the bags in my hand, I went back to my room and hesitantly opened one of the bags. My eyes went round when I saw the logo on the box.Shit, he was serious.Oh my god.This time, I opened the box quickly and gasped loudly. He might not know what to say to a girl, but he did have an amazing taste in clothes.Its freaking Oscar de la Renta!And the dress was ah-ma-zing!Feeling too excited, I stripped down and quickly dressed myself. Aghh, it looked perfect. Now I just needed to shut the zip, which was on the side. It zipped effortlessly till it made a sound.Wait, something isn't right.I tried to zip the dress once more but I struggled. I held my breath and tried again but it just wouldn't bulge.Mother-fudger...!I tried again and again till my fingers were pink with the force I was using. It was a wonder the zip wasn't in pieces. Then realisation hit me like a homerun.Oh god.The dress won't fit.This is
"My choice!" I half scoffed. "I wanted to wear it." I defended myself. Deep down, I knew I was acting childish but something inside me was a little peeved."Then why aren't you?" He asked me once more and I was quiet.I wanted to tell him but I couldn't and I knew I was making an issue out of nothing. As childish as I sounded, I wanted to know how he felt about me. I didn't want to be another one of the girls he wined and dined."I felt like wearing this." I shrugged my shoulders and clasped my hands tightly. Curse me for starting this conversation."But you couldn't wear the one I sent you?" He glanced at me sideways. "Again Brielle, its fine. You don't have to feel guilty about it. I thought you'd like that dress." He was trying his best to not sound detached."I am sorry. I'll send it back tomorrow." I told him and he looked baffled for a second. It wasn't like I was ever going to wear that again so it was better to send it back rather than wasting money. His lip curved in a myster
Please stop!"I'll see you around. If you want to see me, I am available till next week. It's been nice meeting you." She didn't wait for him to answer. He was clenching the fork a bit too tightly."Hey, just ignore her, 'kay?" I placed my hand on top of his and squeezed it lightly, letting him know I was there for him.He bowed his head and a small smile bloomed over his face. When he looked up, it nearly took a breath out of me. My throat tightened with an unknown emotion. I could see his mouth moving but could not hear a word. I was well aware of his deliciously spicy scent that surrounded me, even though he was sitting across the small table. I could feel his body heat burning through his clothes and reaching out to entangle me.This is not good."I need to use... excuse me." I looked around for the restroom."Sure." He answered.I fled to the toilet and stood near the sink. I rested my hands on the cool tiles. What was that? It can't be what I'm thinking. I can't... Don't say it.
