- HAZEL - I look at myself in the mirror after washing my hands. Tonight was calmer than I expected. Aside from those death glares I got from Killian every second, everything seems to be going alright. At least he's not being rude. I sigh and straighten my hair. I think he's not being rude becaus
My gaze darts from one of his eyes to the other, searching for some half truth in his words but there was none. He doesn't seem nor sound drunk either. Although I've never witnessed his drunken state so I can't tell. But oh my God, did he just propose? My heart begins to pound in my chest violent
- HAZEL - "Are you okay?" With every word that left her lips, I felt my violent, pounding heart beat intensify. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I shift away from Killian and look at the floor. My phone is on the floor. I just noticed that that must've been what dropped earlier. Kate finally walks to my f
- KILLIAN - The night ended nicely. I hold a glass to my mouth and gulp down my red wine. Way better than I anticipated it to end. Don't get me wrong, I still wanted to rip Kaiden's limbs apart when she was all over him but that girl's mine. Hazel is finally mine. The best part about this i
"You're infuriating." She purrs. "I take pride in that." I counter. Asami sits up straight and wraps her coat over her torso. Thank goodness. Finally something worth looking at, the coat. It's a fine material. "State the reason for your visit, Asami." I say. My tone says I won't demand twice. As
- HAZEL - Kate is packing. I'm supposed to be having lectures but I skipped it to give her a hand. I don't know when she'll be back but I do know she'll be back for exams and tests. Till then, her stay back home may be indefinite. I really hope everything goes well for her and her family. I'm real
I stick my key in the hole and twist it to the side. My door came open with the first turn, before the first unlocking. Normally, I'd hear a loud 'click' but I didn't. Oh. I could've sworn that I locked before I left, yet it's open. Maybe I didn't. Maybe being sad is messing with my mind and mak
But my goodness, twelve messages? He barely ever texts me once daily till now. This gives me some sort of euphoria. I reread his texts. Every text has an hour or a few minutes interval before the other. My cheeks burns. I can't stop rereading. This is so freaking cute!! I fall back on my pillow,
- 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.
