|I R I S|

Blake is standing in front of me, dressed in a casual outfit that includes a black jeans and black jacket over a white shirt. His hairs look a bit messy and there is that smug smile in his face.

Not again.

"Can we stick with the dream part?" I tried but he only chuckled in response as if I was joking. I was not. Before he settled down on the seat right beside me.

"Unfortunately not." He answered with a playful tone when I brought the glass of my scotch to my lips and took a sip out of it.

"So, did you came alone?" He inquired looking behind me for anyone who might be here with me. But he is just looking at the wrong places.

"A friend." I tell him and he bring his eyes back to me. "I came here with a friend." I explained and he nodded, slowly.

The bartender approached Blake and Blake ordered a glass of red wine. Because he is j

    She has the moon in her mind, that is why stars spill off her lips. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|She is here. Standing right in front of me. For a minute I can not believe my eyes, or I believe them a little too much. I do not know what is the actual case but I feel over the cloud when I see her after so long. She looks exactly like before except her hairs are not as long as before. Other than that, she looks exactly like before but just in physical appearance. Something changed in her. It looks more like a mental change. Her dressing sense conveys the change in her mentality. She is dressed bold, thought she probably not like it but she does not look uncomfortable in it. She is standing with a new confidence in her. Like she knows what she is doing. Her big violet eyes are fixed at me, like she can not believe her eyes, but unlike me she have that look with an unhappy feeling. Like she wants to run and hide from me. Though, that's exact

    I want to explain how exhausted I am. Even in my dreams. How I wake up tired. How I am being drowned by some kind of black wave. -Elizabeth Wurtzel. |I R I S|My cracked heart skipped a beat after so long when I saw him standing in front of me, dressed in a black jeans and a black denim jacket over his white t-shirt.He looked the same, yet different. The slight subtle on his face showed how careless he had been with himself since past few days. Maybe it was the guilt keeping him in grief, that he brought to himself. The way his gaze locked with mine had me forced to remember about all the memories I thought I had burned a long time ago. But a glance, just a glance was all it took for them to rush back in front of my eyes like they were waiting for me to be reminded of those moments, eagerly. The one I wanted to forget. He held my gaze so long from the moment when I wanted to go closer to the moment when I wanted to run away. Even when I turned

    She wanted to tell him she missed him but she knew it would not change anything so she kept pretending she didn't. -Unknown.|L O R E N Z O|I am back at the apartment I bought here near her house. Because I am not returning back to Italy without her. Getting rid of my jacket, I entered inside the bathroom and stripped out of my clothes ready to take a shower. It's been a long day. I turned the shower on and let the water glide down my body as I stood under it, washing my hairs and body. Using the shampoo, I used it in my hairs and the water kept pouring down my naked body, reminding me of the rain I stood in a few hours ago, watching her. When I stepped out of the bathroom wearing only my black sweatpants, I noticed my phone ringing on the bed. I checked the caller id and found out it was Rowan calling. I fall down on the bed before picking his call and pressing the phone screen against my ear. "Where is she? Is she with you? Let me t

    If I end up being wrong about my atheistic beliefs, and I am standing in front of god after I die, well then only one of us will have to beg for forgiveness. And, it is not going to be me. -Unknown. |I R I S|"I can not believe he is stalking you." Tori commented, throwing her hands in the air in disbelief. "But again, he is a criminal. So, I should not be surprised." She talks to herself while I prepare myself a coffee after returning from office. Lorenzo Ace Russo is the last topic I want to have a conversation on. I do not want to talk about the who abandoned me because he did not had it in him to confront me. I do not want to talk about the man who snatched all sort of smiles from my life and filled it with only emptiness. Taking the mug of coffee, I joined Tori in the dining room. She was sprawled on the couch like a lazy potato she is while the tv screen shows a new drama on it. She has been a sucker for this romantic shits si

    She is far from sane, but she is the right kind of crazy, the kind you get addicted to. -Unknown. |I R I S|It is the next day again and I have to get ready to leave for office. I haven't been to the fighting since last two days. Firstly, Tori came to visit who is strictly oppose to the idea of me fighting. Then, him. He is everywhere. Almost. Whether I go out to take a short walk or for groceries he is always standing in some corner somewhere watching like he always knew about my future whereabouts. I do not want him to find out about my boxing matches. That's something I started to forget the internal pain that was caused by him so there is no way I would let him get involve in this. After taking a long and relaxing shower I got dressed in a drop shoulder solid satin blouse of lavender color and paired it with a white pant. I collected my hairs up in a clutch, letting a few locks of my hair fall freely on my face. When I walk out

    I always think of you before I fall asleep. The word you said, the way you looked. The things we laughed about, the silent moments we shared. And, when I dream, I will dream of you. Because it is about you. It is always about you. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|There, she stands a few feets away from me, shocked and surprised. Her eyes wide and lips parted slightly as she take in my appearance. She is wearing a lavender solid silk satin blouse and had paired it with white pants. Her hairs are not open as usual, they are collected up in a big clutch. I am tempted to go there and free her dark hairs and watch them fall down freely. But I control myself. I am not sure if she would appreciate it very much, even the least. "What are you doing here?" She questioned me, once she got over her shocking state. "Now, is that a way to speak to your boss?" I ask her as I sat down on the edge of the table watching her with a smirk. She is finally talki

    It is a frightening thought that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in the kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over. -Beau Taplin.|I R I S|I am angry. No scratch that. I am furious. As I unlock the door of my apartment not so calmly, the only thing that goes through my mind is how I need to have a match tonight to blow all the steam. I enter inside the messy apartment that does not look like mine anymore because I always kept things in the place and looking at it's condition right now, I can tell nothing is where it is supposed to be. Tori is slouching on the couch with her hairs open that looks nothing less than a bird nest while she eats the noodles, her eyes glued to the screen that now a days speak nothing other than chinese. Her attention is so focused on the screen that she did not even realised when I entered inside. One can sneak inside my apartment take whatever they want as long as they do not touch that couch and

    I still remember her as the girl who waters dead plant because she does not know how to accept that sometimes things just have to end. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|Sebastian is an old friend. I met him four years ago in Italy when he came searching for some good fighters to include them in his team. That's where we met. Sebastian is as fucked in the head as one can be. But he is better in controlling his head. He does not let his emotions take control over him and that's one thing that I found impressive about him. His skills in the boxing ring are beyond amazing. "Damn! You look so different." He commented and we hugged each other. I pulled back and glanced around at the place, there are a lot of people. Seems like he finally succeeded in spreading the craze for boxing among these people. Though, not everyone here is to fight but to think that there are so many people to watch two people fight is in itself a achievement. People prefered

Lorenzo thanked the couple, genuinely."Oh come on, you are proposing her. We need to be here." Mrs. Emerson shrugged."You better take care of my little daisy or I will kill you."

    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

    When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth. -Jess C. 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
