- HAZEL -I have to say that I'm having fun. Sometimes, all a girl needs besides sex is her crazy roommates to boost her ego to do something crazier. Yes, I said what I said. Ash clonked her glass with mine, holding her phone to her face. She's taking pictures of our drinks. I shouldn't have alcoh
I don't think they heard me with all the chatter going on by the door. From the sound of it, it seems like Ash and Savory know Jasmine's friends. Ugh, why am I so lonely? I should mingle more. It's unlike me not to. I roll my eyes with a sneer. My attention diverted to my phone and I tapped the scr
"Oh honey, you don't want to try that." Jasmine laughed. I love her chemistry with Ash. Knowing they've been friends since forever makes me feel a bit left out because I do have that friend. And I'm having thoughts about her man. My throat creased. I took a deep breath then exhaled. She's enjoying
"I can't. Look for someone else." I said, handing my phone back to them. "Are you kidding? How often do you find someone this beautiful, Hazel? Like ever?!" Savory questioned, surprised. I don't know if I should explain it to her. "That's sad, but I can't. I'd rather not." My voice is stern. I thi
- KILLIAN -I stepped into the bar with a firm expression on my face. My jaw tightened just by sighting this place, I hate it already. I ran my eyes around, trying to find her. She's not in sight. It is kind of frustrating to think she's with another man, probably doing unholy things. But come on,
Hazel stood up. Her body staggered forward, uncontrolled. I took a step back to avoid her body falling on mine. As much as I'd love to hold her if that happens, part of me wants her to fall. Maybe the ground will knock some sense into her. Why am I even this pissed? Why on earth does this girl's ac
- HAZEL - He did not just tie me up and lock me in his trunk. I can't believe Killian. DID HE EVEN THINK OF HOW I'D BREATHE?!After a long drive, my throat hurt and I got tired of screaming. I also couldn't reach my phone so I dished that thought too. He's meant to be with Kate, what changed? I sw
"She's not. I don't bring women home."My heart skipped a beat. Women? She's not just any woman. "Not even her?"Killian walks behind me. I didn't follow his movement with my gaze but he came back with a tumbler and a bottle of brandy. The tumbler is half filled with the brandy. He drank out of it.
- KILLIAN - I dip my hand beneath the outdoor pouring shower, then rinse my face with it, repeating the process. While water is blatantly pouring all over my skin, my feet and lower half of my legs more, I don’t want to get wet entirely. I can always rinse my feet but going inside due to getting my
- KILLIAN - “Could you be any more childish?” I ask the moment I walk towards her by the buffet display. She hasn’t spoken to me all day and I know her well enough to know when she’s avoiding me. Maybe I wouldn’t be so pressed about it if she wasn’t hanging around so frivolously with my brother.
- HAZEL - I let out an exhale, resting on the car window. These past few days have given me some time to think. Not about anything serious, just more about the right thing to do and my well being. “When will we get there?” I ask my driver, my eyes still on the road through the tinted window. Since
- ASAMI - It hit me like a wave the moment my mind and body became responsive to stimuli. My memories came crashing back to me all at once like a plague and what’s worse? I can actually feel an ache at the back of my head. I bite my lower lip to hold in the groan that nearly leave my lips at the a
She is nothing like a lady. Or not a decent one at best. I wonder if she treated all her victims the same way. I wonder if she dined to their demise. “You surely have good taste with wine.” She husks, her voice dragging out. The lady rests her elbows on the desk, clapping both her hands to a side
- KILLIAN - I let out a sigh, playing with my zippo in a dark room in the penthouse of a hotel. I’m expecting an important guest tonight, one I’ve wanted to meet for a very long, long time. The end of one side of my lips curl. I’m not smiling. Far from that, underneath this eerie smirk of mine is g
I let out an exhale, remembering every encounter him and I had since the night we met. He was flattering. Very gentle and the good kind of masculine. He also held me to him when he lied about us to Kate. . . . And even though it’s just two people I’ve been with all my life, I’ve not been in a rel
- HAZEL - By the time I woke up, he was gone. My bed was nicely laid despite being on it and my window was shut. I couldn’t perceive his cologne and there was not even a single trace of him ever being in my room. That sucked. I know he was here but it doesn’t seem so. I miss waking up to him in
Her room is girly. Way too girly. All stylised with feminine colours. This makes me chuckle under my breath. Sleeping in a room like this would give me nightmares but I’m pretty sure she gets cotton candy dreams. The irony is funny. “Your room is. . .” I clear my throat, looking for the right word.
