Sometimes when you met someone, there is a click. I don't believe in love at first sight but I believe in that click.

-Ann Aguirre.

|I R I S|

I rushed out of the penthouse where I felt suffocated because of his actions. My eyes stings with unshed tears as I tried to control them.

I heard the girls calling behind me but I ignored all of them as I ran like I need to get out this house to breathe. But, still I heard the sound of heavy footsteps behind me and I knew, exactly who was running after me.

But I need a break. I need to get away from him so I can breathe without pressurizing my nerves to the point of bursting.

Lightening struck the already dark sky and rain started pouring down with heavy flow as I ran.

The dark clouds, clouding my figure weren't scary. If anything, it match with the mess in my mind, right now.

"Iris, stop right there!" I heard him yell over the loud puring of raindrops. His voice sounded nothing less than a threat

    The way they smiled at each other's presence in the crowd, even stars could tell that they were in love. -Muskan Kaur. |L O R E N Z O|Once my words travelled all the way from my mouth to her ears, I wasted no time in capturing her sightly parted lips, holding a deep breath in, with mine. She went rigid at her place in shock for a quick minute before she composed herself and kissed me back. Her hands came up, holding onto the collar of my shirt as she pulled me closer to her body while the raindrops fell down on us, lazily. Our clothes were, literally, sticking to our flesh like a second skin but it wasn't my concern right. If to be honest, there isn't any concern right now. There is just her. She pulled me down, deepening the kiss, conveying her craving through her actions. I couldn't help the groan that escaped from the deep of my throat. The gentle kiss that we started soon turned into a passionate and hard one as I took her face between m

    There is a poem scratched onto the walls of my throat, no one has heard it, but it is here. - Kai Cheng Thom. |I R I S|We are driving back to his mansion. But the words- threatening words- by his brother, Nicolas, are still ringing loud and clear in my head. That man might look like a charming gentleman but this is all a façade. With his gray eyes similar to Lorenzo's but a bit lighter in shade than his, pinned me at my place with his dark stare as he warned, "Break his heart and I'll have yours for dinner." He said with a calm and unchanging tone while managing to keep a smile at his face. He even forced me to laugh, just so, no one could get suspicious of him. When, on one hand, I was scared to shit in his dark aura, I also couldn't help but feel happy at his affection and care for his brother. Threat or not, I am not going to hurt this man, who looks at me as if I put life in his soul. The man, who serene my soul just by his one glance, w

    The little things? The little moments? They are not little. -John Zabat Zinn. |L O R E N Z O|Another week passed in the blink of an eye and it's been one month since I met, Iris, in that dark forest. Even the situation of Russians is under control right now and we can finally breath in peace. But we know it wouldn't last long considering Mason's sister, Bianca, is coming to visit him. More like to be a pain in ass, for all of us. If you think she is anything like her brother, I suggest you think again. Because while Mason is loyal, calm and trust worthy. She is a complete nuisance. We only tolerate her for the sake of Mason. He is more like brother for us,so this is the least we can do for him.I push the thoughts of her back in the mind, in early morning and focused at the woman sleeping peacefully by my side. Her delicate hands are circled around my waist and her lips bare stretched, slightly, into a small smile. I resist the urge to lea

    Love is an illusion. But I would willingly fall for it, if I could believe in it. -Sylvia Plath. |I R I S|There in front of me is standing, Bianca Greco. Mason's sister. She smiled, widely, and wrapped her arms around his brother's middle, hugging him. She pulled back and I am able to see her clearly now. She has blonde hairs that flows over her shoulder and her brown eyes are shining with mischief.She was wearing a mini skirt that barely reached her mid thighs and a tight top that leaves nothing to one's imagination. She looks gorgeous with her almond shaped eyes and long lashes. "Zo!" She screamed as if she just spotted her best friend who she is meeting after ages though it doesn't look the same from his side. She rushed to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, while he didn't even bothered to lift his hands from his side. I should be glad that he couldn't care less about the woman clinging to him like a koala to a tree. But stil

    Take her. She is yours. And trust her if you dare, but be alert. Don't turn your back on her. -Gregory Orr. |L O R E N Z O|"Why on earth is she back?" Aleeza's voice rang in my head from the other side of the phone. "For her brother, Zee." I told her in a duh tone. "Shut up, Enzo. You know how she is obsessed with you." Aleeza pointed out and though I know that I would like to keep that unnecessary piece of information hidden. More like burnt. Because I know I can't lock her in my basement and put a bullet in her head for all the times she has annoyed me. But Mason is more important than her annoying ass, so we bear with her for his sake. I can only hope she leaves early. "I have Iris, Zee." I told her ans just as I said so, my little curious cat, entered the room, carefully. She raised a curios brow at me and I just nodded at her, indicating to wait till I am dine with my sister. "And, don't you dare forget that." She threatened and I

    There will always be a person who looks like a poem the earth wrote to keep you alive. -Juansen Dizon.|I R I S|Have you ever felt lost in someone so much that you completely lost the touch with the actual world? Because that's how I am feeling right now when I see, him, talking with a authority in his tone. His bossy aura is a freaking turn on. But I keep the unholy thoughts to myself as I stab my fork in the salad in my plate while my eyes stay fixed at his side posture. Rowan yawned in between at which Lucas elbowed him in the ribs to get his undivided attention on the serious issue they are talking about. I put another piece of salad in my mouth, chewing slowly, while I observe him. He is dressed like a dangerous sin, in all black. His black shirt hugs his muscular chest in all the right places, sticking to his body like another layer of skin. His one hand is stuffed inside the pocket of his black narrow pants. He is like a threat everyo

When we thought that we has the situation under control regarding Russians, they attacked our another warehouse. Though, not much harm was done and there were no casualties. But still it doesn't change the fact that they are taking us lightly and it needs to be change before they do something that might harm us in anyway. I opened the door of my room and a sigh of calm and relief escaped my lips when I witnessed my girl, sleeping with a blanket and AC on while the Television is going on. Her dark hairs are falling over her face and her lips are parted slightly. I sat beside her and I think I heard a soft sound of snoring. I stopped myself from laughing. She is such a fucking adorable bean. I took a strand of her hair between my fingers twirled it around while observing her sleep and I mean it when I say that I can spend my

"You let me die." He screamed louder and with his each word it becomes hard to breath and stand still. "I didn't." I sobbed, trying to convince myself more than him. Could I have saved him? Did I let him die? All these questions clouded my mind and I felt a tight knot around my heart as if someone is squeezing it tighter, to crack it.His blue eyes let out tears of blood and I controlled myself from screaming. I want to. But no sound comes out of my mouth. His hand painted with blood extend forward as if to hold my neck. Immediately, I take one step back but before I could turn around and run, his fingers circled around my throat, squeezing it. The grip was not tight enough to choke me but it still hurts. "You have to die, too." Were his last words before he

    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.

    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
