- HAZEL - Wearing this jacket really paid off. It managed to hide the bandaged sore on my shoulders from Killian. I can only assume Asami is watching me so I have to be careful despite Killian and I being somewhere in the outskirts of the city. I am tempted to submit to the urge begging me to
“Please be seated and make yourself comfortable, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me.” I drop my purse first on the seat before sitting. The waiter waits for me to get comfortable on my seat. It’s a cushion table for four. Certainly more comfortable too and with how high these seats a
- KILLIAN - Orion called out to me. Something wrong happened to my car. I’m obviously no mechanic so I already called one and also phoned another of my men to come with a working car. Every vehicle I own is nearly brand new and working effectively so this news was a shocker. It had me occupied w
“Owen.” I say to him, greeting. A fake grin forms on my face while I call his name. He’s grinning too, as usual. My smile drops when I glance at Asami. “You.” I say. Her scoff, although subtle was well heard by me when I referred to her that way. I return my attention to Owen. “To what do I owe the
- KILLIAN - “On second thought,” I start, kneading a finger on Hazel’s palm, talking to Owen. “I’d rather we have a discussion later, old friend.” I say, gritting my teeth. Asami only does what she’s supposed to do? Is he trying to let me know that if something transpired while I was gone, he was
Asami rolls her eyes to my words. There is something I don’t know about that she’s involved in and that somehow may link to why Hazel was stricken the moment she was sat across this table even though I was present at first to witness this. Asami and Hazel aren’t and never will be friends. “Now that
- KILLIAN - I hold the door open and step to the side to let her pass. Hazel walks in, in front of me. “Why, thank you.” She giggles. Mm. I tried to make her have a good time today but I’m not quite fulfilled myself. There’s something she’s not telling me and as much as I try to ignore it, I wan
- HAZEL - I let out a sigh as I step into his room, keeping the door shut. I let my back rest on the door, staring into nothingness as different thoughts plague my mind. Seeing Asami and that man today did not aid my cause. If I didn’t have that run in to the bathroom, I would’ve had a panic attac
- HAZEL - Nothing seems interesting. Each day, I’m getting closer and closer to losing my mind yet I’m trying to get my act together. No one really talks about how overwhelming it is to have to hide a part of you you’d love to talk about so much. How miserable keeping to yourself actually is. It’
- KILLIAN - She’s avoiding me. It’s one thing to be understanding but it’s another to try to put up with it when I have so much going on. Hazel has not said a damn word to me for days. I’ve had no texts. No calls. Not even so much as a gaze from her and we literally are in the same school. I ca
“Well, time does things to someone.” I comment. I don’t want to talk about a painful past when I’m dealing with an even more difficult present right now because of her. I don’t know what she said to Hazel but it’s got Hazel acting in a way that bleeds my heart. It’s times like these that I hate bein
- KILLIAN - Rain. I stare at the wiper blades sliding back and forth over my windscreen, wiping the raindrops hitting the glass away to no avail. It keeps pouring. Heavily at that. The sound of the water hitting my car and every object in the environment, the ground included, eases my nerves. The
“What do you think about this? I call bull.” Kaiden asks, walking by my side. Boy, seeing him again this close makes me know how much I did not miss this blonde guy but I’m casual about it. It’s just so funny how the timing is. I took his woman from him and she dumped me the moment I met him again.
- KILLIAN - Seeing her leave because of me broke me. Seeing her walk away with the desperation to run after her being pungent but not able to destroyed me even more. It doesn’t make any sense. Just this morning and a few days ago, we made love. We were happy then all of a sudden she drops this
I avert my gaze to my phone. It’s two thirty pm. How long have I been in school? I lost track. I haven’t made any academic progress since I met Asami. “Sorry, just been overwhelmed with thoughts.” I sigh. “Want to talk about it?” Natasha chimes. My lips form a line. Not really. There’s not mu
- HAZEL - “Do you really mean that?” Killian reaches out to touch me. I shove his hand away, keeping my resolve. “Yes, I do. You disgust me, Killian. I’ve put it off long enough but I can’t anymore. Let’s break up and end this thing between us.” In his eyes, I could tell he didn’t want to bel
My jaw tightens. “If it’s for us, then you’d tell me so WE can sort it out together. That’s why I’m here, no?” The sound of a flushing toilet blares in the restroom causing me to blink perplexedly. The door blocking her away from me is pushed open abruptly. I let out a sigh of relief. Finally.
