Kiss.
Why do people kiss each other? There are many reasons to kiss the person in front of you.
Mainly, it's because you like that person and want to take your relationship further. It's what everyone thinks but a kiss can also begin, continue or ends the relationship too.
There are also kisses out of a relationship which is from lust.
But our kiss doesn't fall under any of these conditions. And I still wonder why I kissed her all of a sudden.
Is it because of the environment? Is it because of our closeness? Or is it because of the release of oxytocin?
(Oxytocin - hormone released to arouse or relaxes you)
She said I kissed because to reconcile with her and said that's maybe my way with others too. I wonder where she got that from?
I couldn't figure out why she took my kiss as a re

Why did you go to the office today?""Why?""Did you forget? you're the one who said that my brother is coming today. I thought I'd introduce you to him.""We already met, Elena.""But he asked me to bring you along with me when he sent the address.""Why?"She ended the call.Woah!

Elena's pov; Finally we finished cleaning the place together, and Nick went out to buy some lunch since we're tired of making one at home. In the meantime, I started watching a horror movie which I mostly watch and the only genre can be found in here. I haven't bought other genres since I'm not interested. After some time he returned with the food but fled before eating it. I ate the food after waiting for him for a long time and started watching a movie. Nick came finally. He sat beside me asking me what I ate and what movie I was watching and stuff like that. While he was talking with me, I smelled alcohol on him. Seeing me sniffing on him he said, "I had a beer." "Really? Did you just run off to drink beer with someone?" "You're not my girlfriend or are you?" He asked me back.

In the office,"Sir, I gave the report to Matt as you said and I think he would have checked it by now. Should I go and get it for you?" , I said to Bill."No need. I already received it from him. I called you to inform you that I'm changing you to the HUO department for some days because they said they are in need of an executive officer so you'll be working there for a while. I agreed to them before asking you. Is that okay for you?"He's changing my unit. The way he behaved yesterday and changing departments all look related now. Yes. He must have known something about me and Matt for sure. Should I agree or not? If I accept this, I can stay away from Matt , but at the same I couldn't be near my friend, Steffanie. Even if she knows about this, she would also suggest that I work in another department as well. Okay."Yes, Sir.""Well, take this along with you and give it to the he

Nick's pov;After the kiss,"I-I'll get going." I uttered while leaving the house.She nodded hurriedly.I left Elena's place.I came to my place.I kissed her quickly because I lost control of myself when she gave a peck on my lips. Why did I kiss her again? What will she take that kiss as? Why does the kiss always be meaningless between us? She took the previous kiss as an apology way, what will she take this kiss as? Wait. She's the one who first kissed me then why am I worrying about this. Thinking about that, Why did she kiss me? If I didn't react quickly to that, I would have asked her the reason but how can I now?What if she asks me the same thing? How should I answer her?Urghhh!After getting out of the showe

It would be one whole happy family." I uttered while I'm eating. Nick held my hand and said, "We're still a family." I gave a smile and continued eating. "What are you two speaking?" Amelia asked us.

I'll call you back later."I ended the call with Nick and asked the doctor who was talking to the nurse while she was applying an ice pack on my hand,"How's my hand, doctor?""Looking good. It seems like you still need to wear this splint for another week. Did you put pressure on your hand?"I shook my head and said, "I fell on it without knowing.""I said to be careful. There's inflammation on your hand so you have to wear a splint to avoid further accidents.""Actually, I got a flight to catch now. Is it okay to travel with this hand?"He gave me a stare and said, "Yeah, you can but be careful. And… don't fall. If you are about to fall, then do it on your right side." And left the room.I asked the nurse,

I let out a sigh and looked outside the window. It was snowing outside and inside there were Christmas vibes with the music and lights. Tomorrow is Christmas, I thought of taking Elena to somewhere special but it seems like it's not possible now.I got Iced Americano for myself and started drinking it while I was waiting for him.After some time, he arrived. He waved at me when he spotted me and walked towards the table where I'm seated at."How are you?" Asked when he was about to sit on the chair."Good.""Why are you sitting alone? Where's Elena?"

Elena's pov;"When will the cast be removed, Doctor?" I asked the doctor curiously."When do you want to remove the cast?""What about... Today?"He gave me a stare and said, "If you want to get cured quickly then you have to wear this. Did you forget when I said that? Actually, I wonder whenever you ask this. You haven't asked about your recovery time even once instead you're so concentrated on removing your cast. Answer me, what are you going to do after I remove the cast?... or are you worried that you couldn't use your phone since you got hurt in your right hand?"I looked at him when he raised that question to me."So that's the reason behind it. Phone has become the most important thing for this generation."Matt walked in while the doctor was talking to me. He walked to where he was sleeping and took something and

Elena's pov;Someone knocked on the door continuously which woke me up from my sleep. I took my phone and looked at the time. It's 10 already. Did I sleep that long? I turned to my right side and found an empty bed. Where's Matt? I think he's the one who's knocking."Come in!"The door opened."Why are you knocking on the door? Why don't you just come in?"My eyes almost popped out when the person walked into the room."Nick?"How did he come here? How did he know that I'm here? He didn't have any expressions on his face which made me puzzled to find what's going on in his mind. He walked to me where I was lying on the bed. As he was approaching, I tried to get up from the bed.Nick ran to me and stopped me from getting up and made me lie down on the bed again. I remained silent since I don't k

Elena's pov;Five days have passed with a routine of taking a lot of tablets at every meal of the day with the doctor checking up in the morning following the ice pack massage for my hand at night before going to sleep. Finally, they changed my bandage around my head so I got a new one today. I walked around my room with my right hand tied around my neck with a strap. It felt different in the beginning keeping my hand still but I got used to it as days went by but at the same time I wanted it to recover soon. After the nurse was done with the bandage, Matt asked me, "Are you ready?"I nodded with a bright smile. It's been days since I got to see the outside world. Hahaha."Take care, Elena." The nurse said with a smile on her face while leaving the room.After she left, I walked along with Matt out of the room. He walked beside me to make sure that I didn't get hit by someone or something.

Elena's pov; I couldn't open my eyes since it felt heavy but I was able to smell it... It was something different when I sniffed. It felt like... medicine, antiseptic and soaps? Where am I? I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't, so I tried opening it slowly and opened in the end. When I opened my eyes, it hurt because of the bright light. I blinked again and again and got adapted to the light and I could see where I am properly now. There was a white ceiling above me and I came to know that I was lying on a bed. I tried to move my head to either side to look where I was. The setup, it looked like… A hospital? Why am I in the hospital? When I tried to remember what happened... Last night… I was going with Matt… The accident!!! "MATTT!!" , I shouted out of my lungs. I tried to get up from the bed but before doing that someone ran into the room and stopped me by saying, "You shouldn't do that mam, lie down on the bed, please."
