ZeldaI waved down a cab, too shaken to walk home alone. After what happened with Drake, I get scared whenever I'm alone. His parting words didn't help either. He made it clear that we have to watch our backs always as there's someone out there who is out to get us. I know that this is related to his identity. However, I find it hard to believe that he is what he claims to be. I gave the driver my work address and sank back into the seat, trying to catch my breath. The driver gave me a strange look in the rearview mirror, but I didn't care. All I wanted to do was go to work and forget what had just happened.I arrived at work and began working, but it was difficult to focus. My mind kept wandering back to what had happened. Even though it was a busy day, I still felt bored and uninterested in my work. I tried to force myself to concentrate, but my thoughts kept drifting.I checked the time, and to my surprise, hours had passed by without me noticing. I hadn't seen Drake for a whi
JakeCindy's voice droned on, but I couldn't focus on what she was saying. My thoughts were swirling, and I was unable to make sense of them. I tried to concentrate on her words, but they were like a jumble of letters, impossible to decipher. I closed my eyes, trying to shut out the noise. But even with my eyes closed, I could still hear her, and my thoughts kept racing.Zelda's face kept flashing in my mind, like a movie on repeat. No matter how hard I attempted to think of something else, she was always there. It was like she had taken up permanent residence in my brain, and I couldn't make her leave. And the more I attempted to push her out, the angrier I became. She was like a mosquito buzzing in my ear, and I just wanted to swat her away.The memory of our last encounter kept replaying in my mind. It was a stark contrast to the Zelda I had known before. She had always been timid, but the last time I saw her, she was bold and defiant. And it irked me to no end. I couldn't under
ZeldaI looked up and saw Jack standing in front of me. Before I could even say a word, he reached out and grabbed my hand. I bit down hard, and he screamed in pain. “What do you want from me?” I yelled the anger I'd been feeling all evening boiling over. He looked at me, his eyes wide with surprise and hurt. “Why are you doing this?” he asked, his voice trembling.“What am I doing ?” I asked, his voice full of confusion and hurt. “Why don't you want to apologize?” He said to me while looking at me sternly.I laughed out loud, unable to contain my amusement. “What do you want my apology for?” I asked, a sly smile on my face. He was taken aback, unsure of how to respond.“Zelda, you've changed a lot. This isn't the Zelda I used to know. The Zelda I used to know would have been crying and apologizing by now,” he said, his voice full of disappointment. I looked at him, anger and hurt swirling inside me. “How dare you say that to me?” I said, my voice is low and dangerous.“Zelda, I
ZeldaOr was I just hearing things? I asked myself, my thoughts racing. Was this all just some kind of fantasy, a delusion? I was so confused, unable to process what was happening. He held my hand, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through my body. I couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't think. I was stuck in a trance, my heart pounding in my chest.He kept talking, and I was too shocked to say anything in response. “Yes, Zelda, you heard me right. I'm deeply sorry. Please forgive me,” he said, his voice sounding desperate. I just stood there, staring at him, trying to understand what was happening. I had never seen him like this before, and it was as if he were a wholly different person. I felt a strange mix of emotions, my mind still racing.“Won't you say something?” he asked, his voice sounding anxious. I cleared my throat, trying to find my voice. “What do you want me to say, Jake?” I asked, my annoyance leaking through. He looked at me, his eyes full of sadness. “I
DrakeAs I closed my eyes, I drifted off to sleep, lost in a sea of thoughts. When I awoke, it was dark outside, and I couldn't remember how long I had been sleeping. I rolled my shoulders, trying to stretch out the kinks in my muscles. Looking out the window, I noticed that the sun had set, and the moon had risen in its place. I couldn't help but wonder if Zelda was doing the same thing I was, gazing out at the stars, lost in thought.The grumbling in my stomach brought me back to reality. I realized that I hadn't eaten all day. I had been so focused on trying to find evidence against Alpha Lucas that I hadn't even thought about food. I got up and stretched my legs, my stomach growling again as I did so. I needed to eat, but I wasn't sure what to eat.After spending the day indoors, I felt restless. I decided to step out and eat at a restaurant instead of ordering room service. I put on my shoes and headed out the door, the cool evening air refreshing my senses. I took a deep brea
DrakeAs I sat there, my gaze landed on a picture of Zelda that I had taken a few weeks ago. She was not smiling in the photo, but there was a certain sparkle in her eyes, a glimmer of something I couldn't quite name. I found myself lost in her gaze, my thoughts consumed by her. I wondered what she was thinking at that moment, what she was feeling. I felt a pang of longing, a desire to know her more deeply.The memory of the day I had taken the picture flooded back to me. Zelda had been arguing with one of the staff members, her face flushed with anger. I had snapped the photo without her noticing, catching her in a rare moment of vulnerability. I had never shown her the photo, not wanting to upset her or make her feel self-conscious. But looking at it now, I couldn't help but feel that it was a beautiful photo, capturing a glimpse of the real Zelda, beyond the facade she often put on.As I looked at the photo, I found myself daydreaming about having children of my own. I imagined t
JakeI watched as Zelda walked away, swaying her hips as she did so as if taunting me. I felt a surge of anger, my hands balling into fists. I resisted the urge to hit the wall, my mind a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions. I tried to calm myself, to focus on my breathing. But it was no use. My thoughts kept racing, my anger growing. I wanted to scream, to lash out. But I knew that would not solve anything. I had to find a way to deal with my feelings, to calm myself down.I had thought that apologizing to Zelda would make her see the reason, that she would forgive me and we could start again. But I was wrong. Zelda had always been unpredictable, and she had proven me wrong once again. I was starting to realize that I might never be able to change her mind, that she might never forgive me. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach, a sense of despair. I had thought I could fix things, but I was beginning to realize that might not be possible.I started to replay the conversation I h
Jake“You should be glad that I haven't killed you yet,” Drake said, his voice low and menacing. His eyes blazed with fury, and his hands trembled slightly. His brow was furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line. I felt a chill run down my spine, and I took a step back, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew that he was dangerous, that I had to be careful. But I also knew that I had to stand my ground, that I couldn't show weakness in front of him.I tried to speak, but my voice failed me. My tongue felt like lead, and my words died in my throat. My legs felt weak, and I found myself swaying slightly. I struggled to stay upright, to maintain my composure. I felt like I was on the verge of collapse like I might fall to the ground at any moment. I tried to take a deep breath, to regain my balance. But it was no use. I was losing control.The room was quiet, the only sound was the sound of our breathing. I shifted my eyes, not daring to look him in the face. I watched as he sat dow
