I sniffled and grabbed another tissue from the tissue box and blew my nose in it. Then I raised my head to look at the sun that was going to set soon while I sat on the lounge chair at the beach.
I had been crying for quite some while but my tears just wouldn’t stop coming out.
I took out another tissue from the box and wiped my tears again.
“Ow,” I sniffled again as I bore the pain. The constant use of tissues to wipe the wet area around my skin was now starting to sting.
“How long do you plan on doing this?” The person who sat on the second lounge chair beside me asked.
>>Hazel“It’s hard to believe you stepped in to help me.” I said while Ren and I sat in the second floor hallway next to a big window that was open. The curtains were open and the soft light of the sun was pouring in.…Ren, who had come over and sat beside me after seeing me enjoy the sunlight, didn't answer immediately, “I apologize for my past behavior.” He said.“Huh?” It wasn’t like I didn’t understand what he said. I was clearly just surprised.“My initial judgement was that you wouldn’t be a good match for the young master. The role was forced on you after all.” He l
>>Ren(ma)I knocked on the door to Valek’s study and waited for his reply.“Come in,” I heard him say and opened the door to enter the room. As I walked towards him, he raised his head to see me. The file he had in his hands consisted of two papers only and he closed that up when I approached him, “So,” He asked, “You got what I asked for?” He placed the file on the table and then folded his arms above the table.Silva sat on a single seater couch on the other end of the room as he worked on some documents. He was mostly assembling things but I had no idea what they were.I nodded as I stood in front of the table, “I did,” I told him and he got even more at
>>Ren(ma)My habit of taking baths in the middle of the night still hasn't changed and I’ve had it for many years now. I’m very comfortable with this routine. I can relax without worrying about anything.I stood near the window that had the curtains drawn and dried my hair with the towel, after which I dried my skin.I actually don’t wear any undergarments when going to sleep since I like sleeping in freedom so I was only going to wear my silk pajamas after this and go straight to sleep.I threw the towel on the chair after I was finished drying myself and grabbed my button up pajama shirt. I was about to wear it when I heard a knock on the door. The sound made me panic for a little while and I immediately
>>HazelOf all the embarrassing situations I could have been in, this is the worst!! I don’t think anything could be worse than this! I’ve lost all my pride within a split second.“V-v-v-valek???” I panicked so bad I ended up stuttering like I didn’t know how to speak. I stood up straight but my brain was in so much dismay my grip on the pant’s waist slipped and as I straightened up my pants fell to the floor.Ahhhhhh!!!My entire being went crazy, my cheeks were red and I was going crazy with the vibrator still in my hand.I looked at it and threw it away in a frenzy! The pink stick landed on the bed and continued to shake like
>>HazelHeavy atmosphere.The air filled with sexual tension.A quiet room filled with nothing other than the heavy moaning of two people who were busy making out with each other.The desire to hold each other burned stronger by each passing second. Close, just didn’t feel close enough and wanting to cross the line was filling the two sole minds present in the room.The short time between our make out session was only to get our clothes off as we backed towards the bed.I stumbled at the edge and fell on the soft mattress while Valek slipped in on all fours to show dominance but suddenly stopped as something caught his eyes on th
>>HazelYou know what real speed is?It’s how Valek flipped back towards the floor and got his pants on while somewhere in the middle he let go of the vibrator.It’s the way I pulled the sheets over me and pretended I was sleeping before Emilio got to the bedside and turned to look at us.That’s what real speed is.I don’t think anything can compare to us.Sonic who?It’s a good thing Emilio took his steps slowly and when he reached the bed and turned to look, Valek had his pants on and started walking towards him too.
>>HazelA pleasant sunny day with occasional breeze.The sound of children laughing mixed with the adults chattering.Light atmosphere with a happy mood.I sat at the benches with other parents and teachers while the kids had fun playing in the park.There were a bunch of different swings and slides in the park and since it was a big place there was tons of place to run around too with many trees to hide around as well.The men were on another bench while the mother’s sat together in one place.Rosalie and I sat with each other since we two were the only ones who didn’t
>>Hazel“What?” I blinked in confusion. I knew full well what he said but it just wouldn’t sit in my brain, “You killed him?”He didn’t say anything to affirm that since he probably found repeating his words useless. So, he folded his arms and looked straight ahead with an annoyed expression.But, I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. I was still in a state of confusion. Why would he kill an innocent man? Why?I don’t understand.“When?” I asked him another question.“Five years ago.” He gave me a quick answer.
>>Roshni (4 years later) “You know.” I licked the ice cream from my ice cream cone as Emilio and I sat on the beach side at night, “I can tell you’ve been meaning to ask something for quite some time now.” He looked at me guiltily, “How long…?” He looked like a criminal who had got caught. “Honestly, for months at this point.” “Shit..” He looked defeated as buried his head in his free hand while the ice cream was melting in his other. “Finish that before it melts onto your hand,” I said and he raised his head to look at the starry sky. He sighed, “It’s nice,” He stared at something distant, “Isn’t it?” The soft sand was comfortable to sit on, the sound of ocean waves was extremely calming and the soft wind that followed just blew one's worries away. “Mmm,” I replied to affirm. Emilio quietly ate his ice cream as he kept looking at the clear black sky and I could tell there was something on his mind but I waited for him to say it first and ate my dessert quietly. The silence b
>>Roshni I knew I had to give him an answer. I couldn’t stall it anymore. Not for him, not for me. I knew it wasn’t possible. I knew the words of rejection won’t ever come out of my mouth since I’m madly in love with him too. The feelings that were exploding like a volcano in my heart would say only one thing now. Just looking at him and just thinking about him makes me happy. And perhaps, I should think about what makes me happy. I’m fretting over the world I lived in for centuries but never got to experience these feelings there. But here, it’s different. My life here has been short but I’ve loved every single day. I wish to stay here more than anything, I wish to stay with this person in front of me. “Fine,” I gripped his finger tightly as my own heart pounded violently in my chest, “I’ll stay with you.” I felt so shy it was hard to look at him, “I surrender.” I smiled, “To you.” “Really?” He couldn’t believe it at first. He was even bewildered and stared at me with his eyes
>>Roshni I ran back home. As soon as Lio was done singing, I dashed towards the exit, took the bus, and ran into the mansion, straight to my room Why? Because I was overwhelmed. I ran away because I felt like my feelings would explode. My heart felt so full I had no idea what to do. I crashed on my bed as the sound of my heart pounding drummed in my ears. God! What is this? I’m supposed to be a demon! My heart shouldn’t be trembling like this! I placed my hand on my chest. I guess I’m getting like this because he’s being straightforward now. Before he was avoiding the subject and didn’t respond that well but now, it’s like he’s taken the sword and is charging full speed ahead on the battlefield. My face was hot, my cheeks flushed, and my thoughts a mess. I want him. I want him so much but what about my life in the demon realm? Do I just abandon it? Do I just forsake centuries of life there? I picked the pillow from the bed and hugged it tightly but still the tightness in
>>Roshni A few days have passed and Lio didn’t come to visit me. We went to college separately too and to be honest. I had all the time to think for myself. The half of me that was here is already madly in love with him and now that we’ve combined into a whole again, those feelings are affecting me too. I wasn’t expecting I’d fall for this guy and so much that just the thought of him gets me all excited. Now that I think about it, he’s done everything to make me fall for him over the years. He’s fulfilled my wish of living as a human and experiencing all that I’ve ever wanted. He’s been the sweetest most caring person in my life. I rolled on my bed in my room and a soft flush appeared on my cheeks. I know I love him, I was only able to tackle his words that day because my two halves had combined and everything hadn’t merged completely but now, after a few days, everything is in order yet this human heart of mine is in agony. The agony of love. I thought the feeling would neutr
>>Roshni “You don’t love me,” I told him. “Oh!” He smiled, “But I do,” He seemed quite confident. “No, you don’t,” I shook my head at him “I most definitely do,” He stood his ground, “I always have.” “No,” I shook my head as I felt a little annoyed, “If you did, you would have loved me as Roshni too.” “What makes you think I don’t?” His immediate reply left me baffled. !!! “I- , What?” I shook my head, “You’ve never responded to anything I ever did!” I was feeling furious, “You never made a move.” “It’s because you don’t understand,” His voice got a little serious “I do,” I glared at him, “Your love, your confession of love, it's all fake.” My words made his expression turn grim yet he answered me in a normal voice. “No, you don’t,” He moved to close the space between us and I began to move back. He looked at me with so much longing in his eyes it made me feel things, weird things, “I’ve held myself back for years.” I stopped at the edge of the summoning circle and he close
>>Emilio (4 years old)“I want you.” I said, “Can’t you come with me?”“Hmmm~” The demon wasn’t sure what to say to me, “You want me?” It looked at me quite fondly, “Why?”“I like you,” I said but my confession alarmed it.“You like me?” It looked at me as if I had said the most unusual thing in the world, “You,” It pointed at me, “A human,” Then it pointed at myself, “Like me?” It looked like it didn’t believe me.I nodded at the question, “Yes.”
>>RoshniI didn’t notice it at first, but there were some weird markings there written in different places around the circle and the star. It was a language that felt awfully familiar but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it because I had never really seen it before.So why did it feel so familiar? I had no idea.I quietly made my way into the middle of the blood-red drawing and stood there in the center. My emotions and my thoughts were all mixed up.The sight on the scene was too hard to see but with Lio insisting on so much I just decided to through with it.I had an impending sense of danger around me. It made me feel like if I went th
>>Emilio“Thanks,” I took the box from Aries who came to visit me late at night.“Well,” He shook my hand, “I’m leaving for home now.” He smiled at me and I gave him one back in return, “Are you done with everything?”I nodded, “Yea, everything’s in place,” I looked at the box, “This is the last thing.”“Well,” He stepped back from the porch, “Good luck.” He smiled, “Hope no one dies.”I snickered, “Me too.” I waved at him, “I doubt we’ll be meeting anytime soon.”“Considering how we both live on two different sides of the country.” He shook his head, “No,” He then took a few other steps back, “And clean yourself up before you go to her.” He smirked.I snickered, “The bath’s already running.” I need to get the blood off of me.
>>RoshniEmilio has traveled a lot, to many places but each time he said he was going to look for something and it wasn’t for the sake of leisure.There’s always been something mysterious about him. It’s like he’s searching for something. I have seen it in his eyes, his passion and obsession towards a goal I’m unaware of.There have been times he brought back some weird things with him when he came back from overseas trips but most of the time, it was just weird ritual books. It was a weird hobby of his to read all that stuff but since it was just a reading hobby, no one said anything about it.It was a cloudy day, the atmosphere was dark and I stood outside the cafe looking
