Giselle was surprised to see Gregory dressed in a formal outfit.Black long coat, brown turtle neck and a pair of tight work pants.His work clothes did him no justice, for his beauty almost rivaled that of Ezra’s.Almost, that was the key word. But in Giselle’s eyes, Ezra looked better, no matter what he wore, on second thought, Ezra looked better in anyone’s eyes no matter what he wore.Emerald turned her head around and upon seeing Gregory, a scowl etched onto her face.“Your father would not condone such an attitude, fix it at once.” Gregory demanded. The serious look on his face was far different than the usual always bubbly ex boss that Giselle knew.Ezra had a sour taste in his mouth upon the noirette’s arrival. His expectancy of Gregory attending this party had dropped drastically after he heard that the Fishers had gotten into some uninvited trouble.But yet, here he was. It was as if he were doing everything in his power to tick Ezra off.And it was working.Turning to the c
Ezra went about the rest of the party uninterested. The expression on his face mirrored that of a high schooler who was forced to go on a family vacation that they were highly against.Giselle noticed this, but however, she never really got the chance to hold a conversation with Ezra. The first reason being the incident that had happened before Emerald suddenly interrupted them and the second being because she was surprisingly thrown into a crowd of talkative women.Their conversations held little meaning and was of no interest to Giselle, so she paid little attention to it, constantly glancing back to check on Ezra, who was also at the center of his group of aristocrats.Not long after, Ezra gave his speech and moved out, Giselle literally had to speed walk in other to catch up to his pace as he approached the car.“Hey.” The Brunette called out as they stepped into the comfort of their home. She hadn’t started any conversation during the ride back home due to the aura he was giving
The consequences of her words finally dawning on her, Giselle went beet red and instantly let go of Ezra’s sleeves. Although, what she had done was naturally meant to sadden the brunette, it did not, and a ghostly smile grazed his lips.The action had Giselle’s heart beating more than it already was. She could feel her insides heating up, not only her face this time around, and before it was too late, she rushed pass him, muttering an audible “goodnight” as she raced to her room.Ezra stood still for a moment, the smile on his lip gradually increased by each second until it had stretched over his whole lips, exposing his clean white teeth for the first time in years.As he turned around to head to his room, his smile suddenly dropped as he remembered Gregory’s words.‘His sister was going to hear about this, huh?’ His jaws clenched at the thought of the particular female and his eyes diverted towards the woven bracelet on his wrist.Even though they had not been in contact for years,
The next day, Giselle woke up feeling sore all over. She hadn’t done anything to strenuous the previous day, so she failed to understand why she felt so weighed down.‘Probably the stress from last night’s party.’ She tried convincing herself as she attempted to step out of bed, only to collapse back once her surroundings dazed and her body felt stiff.The weight on her eye lids increased, almost as if it was a sign from the heavens for her to stay in bed.Not bothering to fight against it, the brunette let out a muffled cough and allowed her eye lids close, feeling them rejoice as pressure slowly left them.After staying in bed for a couple of minutes, and thinking, the brunette narrowed it down to one thing; her usual Fall seasonal sickness.It was like a norms for the petit brunette to fall Ill for a couple of days, at least, it was a normal occurrence for she and her father.Giselle wasn’t sure when it started, but she realized, after falling ill on the days her father wanted to t
“Ezra.” Giselle whispered out as she gently tugged on his intertwined fingers, hoping to wake him up.After several minutes of admiring how well both their fingers went together, and almost astonished that it looked like they were made perfectly for each other, the brunette had shook her head, clearing it of any thought that might let her emotions show, seconds before deciding to wake the sleeping beauty up.Gently pulling on his hand again, she called out. “Ezra, wake up.”At this, the brunette slowly peeled his eyes open, hazel orbs shining, even though they were slightly dulled by tiredness.“Hey.” He gently breathed out and arranged his slacking posture on the chair, raising his palm to rub away sleep from his eyes.‘How long had he been here?’ Giselle thought as she examined his face, finding herself slowly losing to his perfect features.“Are you feeling better?” He asked and reached forward, placing the back of his palm on her forehead.Although she hadn’t come down with a feve
Giselle stared with wide eyes at the man in front of her. His eyes were closed, whereas hers stayed open, paralyzed with shock.Giselle’s mind blanked out once again, seconds before she felt a hot sensation probing its way into her mouth, invading through her closed tight lips and teeth.As his tongue slipped into her mouth and explored the inner depths, Ezra savored the Velvety taste that her lips carried.He missed that taste, and now he craved it. Badly.With one hand still supporting his body, Ezra used his other free hand and took hold of Giselle’s hand that was still gently trying to push time away and he pressed it down.His breathing picked up as he deepened the kiss, Giselle’s body slowly relaxing into it against her will.Ezra couldn’t suppress his desires and emotions any longer. He no longer wanted to.He craved her. The taste of her lips. Her petit stature in his embrace. The sounds of her pleasured moans. He craved it all.Just as Ezra reached his hand underneath her top
The following day, by the time Giselle had woken up, Ezra was already gone, trying his best to leave the earliest and return as quick as he could.Since she didn’t have to go to work, Giselle laid in bed for an hour extra, getting used to a house without Ezra and coming to terms with her brooding feelings, again.“I’m in love.” She mumbled out, feeling her heart rate speed up at the thought of it. She sighed and dragged her hand up her face, running it through her hair.“Fuck.” Picking up her phone, she unlocked the screen and checked her email box, almost scowling when she saw a notification from Netflix, informing her of her subscription.Then she went ahead to reply Evelyn, who she found herself grinning gleefully at her every message. Although several of them were series of worried texts, the brunette found it quite reassuring that someone worried over her so much.After spending a few more minutes on her bed, the brunette got up and ready for her visit to the hospital.She beamed
Giselle didn’t need to be told twice.The person approaching her was dangerous. No good was going to come out from standing around. She needed to move.And that she did.Turning on her heels, Giselle dashed in the opposite direction with amazing speed.Panting heavily, the brunette kept her direction straight, trying to reach the elevator that led out of the parking lot as quick as she could.Every once in a while, she would glance back, making sure that the suspicious figure wasn’t following her.Although, when she had broken into a sprint, she couldn’t hear a second following footstep, so she assumed that they weren’t following her, but the brunette didn’t dare to slow down. Fear kept her feet moving forward.Glancing back once again, she saw no one, her heart felt relieved as she was closer to the elevator, just needing to turn a single corner before seeing her safe exit.But it wasn’t going to be that easy. Just as she turned the corner, Giselle felt something slam into her ankle
