I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell, I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, and at the end of the world.

-Madeline Miller.

|I R I S|

It is 7 in the evening and everyone has already left. No one is working anymore, except me.

One last file is remaining and after that I am good to go. I even informed Tori that I will be late. But the thing is that I can not focus. Not after what just happened in his cabin.

I can not believe I almost kissed him in a weak moment. Yes, weak moment is what it was. I can still feel the warmth of his body on mine, like it was always there. His scent has disappeared from my body but is still stuck in my head.

I do not know when he would go back and on what day I would finally wake up without emptiness in my body and coldness in my bed. I do not know if there will be any day when I would not feel this immense pain in my chest like someone

    While they all fall in love with her smile she waits for one who will fall in love with her scars. -The dreamer. |I R I S|He looked at my lips panting, "I belong to you." His words came out in a whisper and all his anger melted away when he realised how close we were. His forehead connected with mine and we both breathed the same air. Our breath mixed together and he held me still, holding me at the place, refusing to let me go. He belongs to me? Did he ever really? The way his voice sounded so certain while saying those four words, made my heart tremble. How can he say that? How can he say that after everything he have done?"I can not belong anywhere else, Iris. I have tried everything. Drank, drugged, drove 100 miles away and even changed fucking everything to make my heart beat like it did with you. But it never happened. I just failed, all the time. But with you, it beats." He took my hand and flattened it against his chest where

    I do not know how to not miss you. It seems that you have taken up a permanent residence in the place that used to be my heart. But now is just a see of thoughts about you. -h.v.|L O R E N Z O|My heart breaks for the woman, who stands with teary eyes and a painful expression in front of me. I extended my hands to reach her but she backed away immediately as if the mere thought of me touching her sends a shiver of displeasure down her spine. Tears stream down her cheeks and I can not do anything except watching her. These are the consequences of my actions. "It was stupid. All of it. It was bad timing." She sobbed in between ber cries and my heart clenched with pain. A feeling of displeasure seeped inside my body as she announced all we had a bad timing. It was not. These are the consequences of my actions, it was not a bad timing. None of it was. Everything about us was perfect and still is. "It was not." I told her. She looked

    Come here and hold me. Make me feel better. Promise me I am good enough. Tell me you can love, even the worst of me. Specially the worst of me. -Unknown. |I R I S|My head hurts. And, it feels like someone is poking needles inside my skull. My eyes fluttered open and I found myself laid comfortably on my very own bed. But I do not remember returning home yesterday. I sat down on the bed and tried to remember of what happened last night when all the memories came back flooding in my mind. Everything, from where we talked, yelled, accused and finally gave up. Embracing the warmth in each other. Everything just rushed into my mind all at once. A frustrated groan escaped my lips at both the growing headache and all I end up doing last night. The door of my room creaked open and Tori stood there dressed in a yellow frock like a barbie. Except barbies wear pink, mostly. "You are awake." She commented the obvious and I held my head between

    There is an ache in my heart for the imagined beauty of a life I have not had, from which I had been locked out, and it never goes away. -Robert Goolrick. |L O R E N Z O|When I rang the doorbell of her apartment with her sleeping, peacefully in my arms at midnight. Her friend, Tori, opened the door. Looking half sleepy with her eye lids struggling to stay open. But as she took in my appearance her eyes opened wide as if she just witnessed a fucking alien. "What are you doing here?" She questioned her eyes narrowing down at her friend, asleep, in my arms. "Oh my god!" She screeched and I really wished I had two extra hands to cover my ears for protection in situation like these. "What happened to her?" Her voice hit my ears like a shrill sound but she looked concerned for her friend. "Lower that voice." I told her in a low tone in order to not wake up the sleeping beauty in my arms. "She is just sleeping." I informed her. Tori's eyes squinte

    I am still here despite everything. What does that say of my love I have for you, if it is not true? -Unknown.|I R I S|Tori returned to my room with him walking behind her. He looks absolutely stunning in his white shirt and black narrow pants, with his hairs styled back, neatly. The freshness in his face had me glancing around my room for clock to check the time. 10:11 am. Oh my god! Did I really slept for that long? Is he here because I am late for office? But as far as I remember I work for him not the other way around, then, why is he here to pick me? Or, check on me? "What are you doing here?" I found the question from my head leaving my lips before I could even think about it. But instead of answering me question his gaze travelled down my body, slowly, taking in every inch of my body as if he is memorizing every part of me. And, it made me conscious about my appearance when I looked down at myself. I realised that I am looki

    That's the most beautiful thing in the world, when two people become fluent in choosing each other. -hb. |L O R E N Z O|When I was coming here to ask her to come back to Italy with me, I did not know it would be so difficult to make her agree. I thought that her working for me would be enough of a reason. I mean, I can play the boss card everywhere, right? Wrong. Tori stands with her both hands occupied by the Americano coffee she brought for us but did not get the chance to give us since Iris kicked me out of her room and locked herself inside. "Go away!" She yells from the other side of the door and I can hear both the certainty and annoyance in her voice. But I am not any less stubborn than her. I am not leaving this place without her. "Darling, open the door. I brought the coffee." Tori reminded of the coffee for the hundredth time and I swear to god I am only a few seconds away from throwing these cups in the garbage can.

    Everytime you come towards me, I am afraid I will no longer be able to stand. Every time you lean in closer I am afraid I might kiss you without your permission. -Unknown. |I R I S|It is strange how we think we are over something and the very next moment when it is standing right in front of us, everything comes back rushing inside our head like never left. We are never really over something. It just stops getting mattered after a long time. The memories, the person, the moments everything stays with us.

The familiar sweet fragrance of breeze hits my face and I shut my eyes due to the force of it. The main doors of his mansion shut behind us while his guard bowed, but we were already inside. I still remember the first time I was brought here, forcefully, and after that one day my life changed for good or bad? I still have not succeeded in finding out. The car came to a hault and I realised that we were already inside the mansion. The driver shut the engine before getting out of the car immediately and opening the door for Lorenzo. I heaved a long sigh, preparing myself to face everyone after so long before opening the door when I saw Lorenzo standing at the side of my door with it held open, waiting for me to come out. I can not help but glance at him with a soft look in my eyes. Why is

    Two months later..."You are hot." Iris' mother complimented Lorenzo and he blushed under the judgmental gaze of his girlfriend's mother."Daisy!" Mr. Emerson scolded but only if his wife was one from listening."What? Isn't he?" Mrs. Emerson looked up at her husband with doe eyes and her husband gave in."Thank you so much for coming." 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

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
