I took the role as his parents. He's the one person I can actually talk to and make feel better because he relates to me so much."Want to continue watching?" I ask, laying the duvet on my bed. "Mhm." She pulls the duvet over her legs. I pick the remote and climb the bed and lay down by her side,
- HAZEL -My eyes open when a knock on my door wakes me up. Confusion is the first thing I feel and I roam my hand on my bed to look for my phone. I check the time. It's six thirty pm. I still feel so fucking sleepy. Another knock draws my attention to the door. With a groan, I climb down from my
- HAZEL - We just arrived. I'm making my way inside the hall while Kaiden is outside talking with some gentlemen. It's hard to miss the event center. Even from the entrance, I can hear the sound of soft saxophone music. And everywhere else is empty. I hold a portion of my dress up between two of m
Holy cow! My eyes widen at the flavour that blesses my tongue. I sip again, this time swallowing large amounts. This tastes like bliss. Like euphoria. I'll be having more of this. I turn around and hold my hand out with the wine glass between my fingers facing the pyramid and take a shot. This tim
- KILLIAN - "Liam, I sent you a file with some codes. It's a lead on the whereabouts of the murderer. Do your research." I say, standing in front of the table in my office while redoing my tie. I shouldn't have this conversation here, school is not a safe place to talk about something this delicate
I avert my gaze from her to scan the room. Where is Hazel? I can't find her. "If you'd excuse me, Lorelei," I say politely, ensuring she adjusted before stepping in front of her. "I have somewhere to be." I flash a grin. Her face flushes. "Take your time." For a woman, she sure has her cute pe
- HAZEL - I shouldn't be thinking of doing this. I'm used to getting drunk but not high. I've never smoked weed before nor sniffed or swallowed coke or crack. I've always had the fear of damaging my lungs. Maybe I should look for someone who snuck vodka or alcohol instead of drugs. "Hazel! I'v
I roll my eyes. "Yes, as always." I breathe out heavily. "Now, for some alcohol." "Oh yes, got it!" She snaps her fingers. "Come with me." It is now I realise we've been walking in circles. This nearly makes me crack up. Of course we have, this compartment is too small to take the many steps we sh
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.
- KILLIAN - It was quite easy. Coming over. Not having access to her the whole day got to me. Even while working, it was all I could think about. That’s why I decided to pay her a visit. A surprise one. This morning may not have been everything we hoped for but I know her too well to know that
- HAZEL - I stare out the window, sat on my bed, enjoying the night sky and city lights. A smile forms on my lips as I take a breath of fresh air at the nostalgia. Home. I’ve missed home. It’s non chaotic and less harmful. It’s warm and cosy. Everyone loves me here. Sadness suddenly becomes arde
- KILLIAN - I raise my hand up then bend it so it touches the opposite shoulder. After this, I let my other hand rest on the elbow or my stretched hand and yawn, stretching my body out while standing in the office this whole thing began, the hunt for power and the acquiring of power. I’m at the Iv
- KATE - So his brother is with my best friend, who would’ve thought? I guess even she didn’t know. I doubt I would if I was in her shoes. The odds are quite slim but here we are, getting stronger in our friendship in more ways than one. Never would I have imagined her being with someone like L
