What a marvellous feeling it would be, if we could say exactly how we felt. What a monumental victory. What a terrifying thought.

-Akif Kichloo

|I R I S|

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye with these two persons always around me. At this point, I think they are more scared for me than I am.

Even after four days of being here I haven't checked the whole mansion, which I desperately want to do because this is just how beautiful it is.

"Wanna hear a joke?" Rowan asked from the wooden floor in the room he was laid down on.

"Not really." Aleeza said, quickly. In these four days I've realised that whenever Rowan says there's a joke it will never be funny. Never.

"Pleaseeeeeee." He whined looking at us with his puppy eyes. Aleeza and I looked at each other. We rolled our eyes before saying, "Fine, go ahead." We said in unison.

Rowan now took the criss cross sitting position on the floor, actively. "Knock Knock." Rowan started, excitedly.

    There is something so fucking magical about her smile. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|"Food," She replied to my question without looking at me. She sounded annoyed? The way she has been walking in this mansion since last four days and giving her angelic smile to Rowan and Aleeza made me want to throw her out of my damn mansion or leave myself. Because that melodic laugh of hers always sent a weird sensation in my body, the one I am not familiar with. I didn't even realised when my feets started walking on their own and stopped just behind her body. I towered her 5 foot 5 inches figure with my tall one. She tilted her head upwards and those big violet eyes looked up at me with the same fucking innocence in them. "Careful with your attitude, little cat." I warned not taking my eyes off her face. Her eyes flickered down before coming back to meet mine, again. Resting my one hand on the kitchen counter behind her, I leaned down and I felt her

    Because there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away. - Sarah Kay. |I R I S|Aleeza is living three days later. Yes the most she extended her visit is for one day. So, I am left with three days to spend with her. Strangely, I don't feel scared among these people anymore, except him. Because he always have this dark look in his eyes that he gives me as if he wants me to be scared of him. Like, that's the only thing he wants. Even Mason doesn't give me that scary look and scowl anymore since I've made pancakes for me. I am glad everyone liked them. "Guys, it's 3 in the morning." Mason whined in sleepy voice, rubbing his eyes with the back og his hands. "Don't ruin it, Mason!" Aleeza complained as she tried to make him stay till the end of the third movie we are watching right now. It's just the four of us. Lucas, Mason, Rowan and me. For the first t

    You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit. - Oscar Wilde. |L O R E N Z O|By the time the movie came to an end everyone was sound asleep in their positions as the credits rolled on the seventy inches screen in front of me. Rowan was sprawled on the couch while Lucas kept on waking up again and again due to the sudden imbalance he was receiving because of being sleepy. Both the girls were sleeping with their heads resting on my either shoulders. To my surprise, even Iris had her head on my shoulder and she looked deep in sleep. I was stuck in a weird situation and I had no idea of how am I suppose to get out of it. I kicked Lucas since he was closer than Rowan and he fell down on the floor from the couch."What the f-" He cursed but stopped when his eyes fell on me. He looked back and forth between Aleeza and Iris before cocking a confused brow at me. "Help me with them." I told him

    If you can't beat fear, just do it scared. - Glennon Doyle Melton.|I R I S|Surprisingly, I woke up in my bed in the morning and for the life of me I can't remember how I ended up here. I don't think Rowan carried me up here since I know he sleeps like a dead horse and he was already asleep when I, mistakenly, fell asleep on his side. I don't even know how I managed to fall asleep with him sitting right beside me. That was so freaking stupid and careless of me. What if I had annoyed him in sleep and wouldn't have woken up today. I vanished the thought from my mind as soon as it entered my mind. Even the AC in the room was on with a warm blanket covering me. No one except Rowan and Aleeza know that I sleep with AC and blanket on. Since, Rowan can't be the one does that mean it was Aleeza? I laughed on the image that created in my mind of Aleeza carrying me to my room. Sure the girl loves me but she would rather kick my ass to wake me up than carry me t

    I knew I was playing with fire when we met, so I couldn't blame you when I got burned. - Bridgett Devoue.|L O R E N Z O|It was 11 in the morning when I called Lucas and Mason in my room to proceed with my idea. While Mason was standing in an attentive position in front of me, Lucas on the other hand was standing like some wild animal who ran out of his cage just now. The hairs on the top of his head were messy enough to become a nest for birds but I decided not to point it out. "What are we here for?" Mason asked, seriously. Lucas hummed, agreeing with Mason's question as a long contagious yawn escaped him. I rolled my eyes at his state and turned my focus back to the better presentable one, Mason. "It's time we talk about the most important matter in our hands." I said dragging the coversation while waiting for her to pass right by my room. "Why isn't Rowan here then?" Lucas complained like a fucking kid as he plopped down on the soft co

    His eyes are so intense I want to look away.... or never look away. I can't decide. -Kaise West. |I R I S|End her once Aleeza leaves. No, I'll be the one to end her. Yeah, three days later. You know what they say about a person like you? Curiosity killed the cat.The sentences kept on ringing in my head again and again, on repeat when he left the room. His presence was still lingering around somewhere with the threat he gave me. The fear I thought was done consuming me, engulfed me again as my heart beat wildly at the terror of dying. When his presence on the one hand scare the hell out of me, there is always this weird sensation spreading through my body. I think I am going insane. Yeah, staying with a person like him would do that to you. The first thing I did when he walked out of the room was locked it from inside. Right now, I am settled on the bed with my knees pressed against my chest as his words kept ringing in my head. I

    Everyone has their own ways of expression. I believe we all have a lot to say but finding ways to say it is more than half the battle. - Criss Jami. |L O R E N Z O|She is shit scared all the time and this tells me how close I am to achieving what I want. She rarely comes out of her room and avoid crossing paths with me at any costs. It always makes me feel satisfied how I am succeeding in my plans. "Are you ready, Zo?" I heard Rowan ask from the other side of my door. It was club night, today. All 6 of us were going out, as Aleeza wished, to club tonight. Though, one is being taken against her will. "Just give me a min." I answered him and I heard footsteps fading away as he gave me what I asked for. I was wearing a black shirt whose sleeves are rolled up and paired the shirt with black narrow pants. I stared at my reflection in the mirror before nodding in satisfaction. I walked out of my room in the black loafers as I headed downstairs

    And, the world has become merely an unknown landscape where my heart can lead nothing. -Alber Camus. |I R I S|Danger. Dressed in a black shirt with rolled up sleeves and same narrow pant, he look like danger. As if the danger himself stepped on the earth to meet me. His hands perfectly styled back with a lock of his hair falling down his forehead kissing his brows, he looked like the devil. A devil that both scares and excites me. While we waited for Aleeza to get down in a new dress, I looked everywhere in the huge mansion to avoid looking at him. Because I know I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off once they set on him.But despite every efforts to avoid him my eyes landed at him and I was surprised to see that he was already looking my way. A shiver ran down my spine in fear while my heart thumped louder against my rib cage with excitement. I wasn't lying when I said I am going insane. "Let's go," Aleeza said with a sour look dir

    What we lived through is living in us. -Unknown. |I R I S|"I have a surprise for you." Both Lorenzo and Rowan said in unison. While Rowan had a big ass smile on his face regarding the same, Lorenzo had an evil smirk plastered on his face. I stared up at them, confused. "What surprise?" Lucas asked on my behalf. "Wait!" Rowan exclaimed and quickly rushed outside the mansion, leaving the three of us behind to wait for him. He returned with two people on his tail, but he was blocking my view so I could not really see them, until he stepped aside letting me take in my surprise. "Oh my god!" The words left my lips when I saw Tori and Vince standing at a few meter distance.Tori was wearing a yellow top and black jeans while Vince on the other hand was dressed formally, like going on a business trip. I waited no more time before I rushed to them and pulled Tori in a none crushing hug. She hugged me back, happily. "I am so happy that

    An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. -Gandhi. |I R I S|"Good morning," A husky and drowsy voice greeted me in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I smiled, contently, at the beautiful sight in front of me. He was hovering my body and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck when I gave him a smile. His nose tickled my sensitive skin, pulling out a giggle from me. My hands found their to his back and I sighed in pleasure as he marked my translucent skin with his torturous kisses. He took hold of my both hands in his one and pinned them above my head. His eyes gazed into mine for a fleeting second before he leaned down and crashed his lips against mine, holding me caged under his huge body. "God! I missed you." He whispered against my lips before he shoved tongue inside my mouth, ravishing it. I was completely at his mercy and he was merciless. His free hand explored my half naked body as his hand travelled from my s

    Peace be upon those who hand pick their words, for fear of hurting anyone. -Unknown.|I R I S|Today, I am going to talk to Marcus. Because, umm, I kind of got distracted from the mental note I made last night. Anyways, I wore my white crop and black jeans before I headed towards his room. Marcus, I mean. Marcus' room is right opposite to Lorenzo's. The mansion is silent today, as if, people are still asleep. Most importantly Rowan. He is the only one who keeps this mansion alive with his cheerful screams when his favourite team wins a match, or when he running away from the other mam whoever he has pissed or annoyed in the mansion on the specific days. Once, I was standing in front of Marcus' room, I heaved out a long breath and lifted my hand to knock on his door. I waited for him to open the door while I thought about all the things I can possibly talk to him about. His sister? All the things starts from her and end on her. I was bu

    I want you. Your bones. Your body heat. The bite marks your teeth leave, to see how bad and beautiful those eyes look beneath me. -Beau Taplin. |I R I S|After spending the whole day together inside the room with Rowan, talking and watching movies, we finally came out of that hole at night, during the dinner time. Lorenzo, Lucas and Marcus were already sitting at the dinner table, waiting for us while the servants served the food. Lorenzo's eyes immediately came to meet mine as if he has suddenly got some super natural powers to know about my whereabouts. I descended the stairs with Rowan on my tail. When we reached the dinner table, Rowan was quick to take a swat right next to Marcus, who by the way looked very lost and was barely eating. I made a mental note to have a conversation with him after dinner. I sat down next to Lorenzo on the dinning table, his heavy gaze ready to burn a hole in my head with the intensity he is watching me.

    A loss is not always a lesson. Sometimes it's just a tragedy. -Unknown. |I R I S|I saw through my half open lids as he immediately rushed to me in the burning house. Vince."Iris!" He called out again but my body feels so hot and exhausted that it feels almost impossible for me to say anything. The wound in my chest hurts so much, "Iris, open your eyes." Vince patted my cheeks as he tried to get me back to my senses. Vince looked worried. Sick worried. Like with me, he himself is going to get admitted in the hospital along with me. If we would even reach there in time. "Fuck!" He cursed and if he is cursing then the matter is really worse. Because Vince does not curse. I have never heard him curse except the one time when Tori fell down the stairs. Vince was scared for her because he thought she is going to die and leave him alone. He might not say it but it is very obvious that he loves his sister so much. Tori is lucky to have h

Scott. |I R I S|Today morning, when I woke up, my day was already reserved for Ronan without my knowledge. So, I was waken up in the most horrible way one could wake up. That stupid human being threw a bucket of cold water on me. It not only ruined my precious sleep but also ruined my sheets as well. And, now he is sitting at floor in my room while the servant changes the sheet. I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth when all I wanted to do was sleep. "Hurry up, lazy lad." He yelled out from outside growing impatient after ruining my morning. With brush in my mouth I could not properly speak so I just rolled my eyes and went ahead to spit out the content in my mouth. I splattered cold water on my face and my eyes did not felt as heavy as before anymore. I am going to kill Rowan. Was my first thought since my brain

    I can not tell you how piercingly and endlessly I think about you. -Virginia Wolf. |I R I S|A new day, a new morning, a new start and a new beginning. I woke up after a long night that provided me with the enough rest I needed for today. Stretching my arms, I let out a lazy yawn and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm. When my eyes opened properly, I looked around in the room I was sleeping in. The same room, I used before. Everything seems exactly the same, just a few changes here and there. I smiled at the memories that are connected to this room, fondly, before standing up from the bed.I opened the curtains of the room letting the sun rays enter the room to lighten up the dark room. Light reached almost all the corners of the room, filling it with a new yellow and glowing light. My lips curved in a cheerful smile at the joy of this mew beginning.ast night, I decided to give my relationship with Lorenzo another chance. Despite all

    I just want to be in love with somebody who wants to be in love with me. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|I took her petite hands in mine and looked into her eyes with tenderness before I spoke, "I did a lot of horrible things, Iris." I started, speaking with my heart because I do not remember remembering these words when I was preparing for the apology speech that Google helped me write. "I made mistakes. I disappointed you. I hurt you." I confessed all my mistakes, "But, I never meant to." I told her. "I am not trying to justify my actions here. Trust me." I insisted as if my world would crumble down if she would believe otherwise. Her violet orbs stayed focused at me while I spoke, not saying a word or interrupting me, "I.. I want to tell you that everything was wrong. It was so fucking wrong. And, you do not know how fucking sorry I am." My voice shakes when I say this and I control myself from breaking into a crying mess. Because I feel th
