- KATE - My eyes meet the messages pasting on my phone screen in front of me and an annoyed sigh rattles out of my lips. I'm offended. I know I shouldn't be but I am. Who the fuck rejects the advances of a woman he's in an engagement with? That jerk Killian! I stamp my hand on the car seat and
- HAZEL - "Hazel, I need you to trust me and if not my words, my actions." "Trust the things I do for you that I won't for anyone else." Killian's words replay in my head the moment the doctor leaves the room. I think I have trust issues. I'm sure I've had it since my incident with Tristan and
"I want you to sleep though. With me." My voice is low and hoarse. "On my bed." I part my face from his chest and get on my tip toes. Now I tilt my head up to face him. Even with this added height, I'm still shorter. My face can barely reach his jaw. I clutch my hands around Killian's waist, holdi
A sharp twinge springs from my bottom lip, forcing me to gasp. He bit me. What the fuck?! When you don't give him what he wants, he forces his way to having it. That is considerably a sexy trait. But I won't let him have me that easily. "Motherfucker." I whimper in his mouth. Killian's tongue
- KILLIAN - I press my nose on her hair and inhale. She scents so nice that I shut my eyes just to enjoy the euphoria I got by her scent. I can tell the shampoo she used is raspberry flavoured. I clutch my arm around her stomach and pull her closer to me. Hazel is fast asleep. She's been asleep
- HAZEL - As much as I'd enjoy being his bed potato and let him take care of me, I have classes to attend and a life to live. Hence, school resumes. And not even this cold can shield me from skipping school. Especially not when I barely escaped the first time I missed classes. I plug my ears w
I wait for my messages to drop fully while tapping my foot on the ground impatiently. The professor will be here in two minutes. Fuck! Can the network be any slower?! I switch to my data and huff, still waiting. The time on my last messages finally correlates to the current time. I barge in
- KILLIAN - 'Can the dinner be tonight?' Kate's text drops after I send a last text to Hazel. I promised to clear my schedule for her so I will. 'Definitely.' I text her back. 'Take care of yourself.' I drop my phone on my desk and roll in my office chair, keeping my eyes on the silver neckla
- 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.
