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

    They lived and laughed and loved and left. -James Joyce. |L O R E N Z O|It's been a little hectic since the last week. 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

    If I ever see a flaw of yours, I had say my eyes are the flawed ones. - Mahmoud Darwish.|I R I S|"You could have saved me." He screamed, accusingly, as his blue eyes filled with unshed tears. "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

    In the era of calamities, you are a moment of peace. - Nasir Kasmi.|L O R E N Z O|Have you ever felt the need to slaughter someone's dreams and nightmare because they are threatening? I do. When I watch her crying in my arms after she confessed everything, my heart forms in a tight knot that feels like close to hurting. But I don't say anything as I kept on holding her. At first, I was holding her because she needed it. She needed me. But, now I am the holding onto her. Her last sentence still playing on repeat in my mind. So, every night, I sleep there is this fear that I might not wake up next morning. I try to think that it is just a feeling of unsettlement. Because I kill people I do not feel even a bit of remorse when I stab them to death, when I put a bullet in their skull or when I torture then to death. But her words have left a weird effect in my mind. I feel the need to touch her to convince me that she is here and she is nev

    It seemed that his heart would burst out of his chest and weep it's own tears. -Stephen King. |L O R E N Z O|My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I see is the grey walls, I am surrounded by and a lot of papers sitting undone on my table. I rub my eyes with the back ofg hand before standing up. It's even too much work lately and I can't even bring myself to sleep with Iris. But the work is getting back to normal and soon enough I would have go back to spending my time with my girl. I head towards the exit and imagine my shock when I saw, Bianca, standing there, almost half naked. She was wearing a lace bra and a mini skirt that barely hide anything. "What the fuck do you want, Bianca?" I growled, not bothering to hide my annoyance as I rub my temple with my forefinger and middle finger, to ease the lines forming in my forehead. "Come on, Zo." She said in her seductive voice as she walked in my direction with slow steps. "I know

    A woman is not allowed to be killed even in a war, you people kill her in love. -Unknown. |I R I S|He stands in front of me with his gray eyes fixed on me as if he wants to hide me from the world and hide in his pocket right now. Not to mention, Rowan is whining about his broken door in the background. Where I wished to listen to something romantic and musical, I am listening to his whining about his privacy that was killed brutally by his boss. His words not mine. He can be a bit dramatic. Okay, not a bit. A lot. Lorenzo ignored him as he approached me where I am sitting, hugging my knees to my chest and my arms are crossed on top of them. "Gattino.." He said, softly and I swear to god for a quick moment all the anger from a few minutes ago vanished in the thin air as if never existed. Damn him for being so sweet. You wouldn't call him sweet when he would kill people because he found their sneezing, annoying. A voice said in my head

    It was the eyes. The secret of love was in the eyes. The way one person looked at another, the way eyes communicated and spoke when the lips never moved. - V.C. Andrews. |I R I S|"Tell me, gattino, how did you wanted to hurt her?" He repeated, still lost in my hairs. I intake a deep breath, sharply. "I wanted to bash her head in the nearby wall." I admitted, softly and in a low tone, as if I am afraid of saying it out loud. But I noticed as his lips twitched in a small smile.What is he thinking about? Why is he smiling?"I wanted to watch her bleed before I warn her about staying away.." I trailed off, not knowing how to say that. I feel bad and oddly, embarrassed. But his eyes shifted from my hairs and pinned me with his intense gaze. "That's it, I am out of here." I heard Rowan yell in the background before he stormed out of his own room, mumbling to himself in gibberish. Because I didn't understood shit. And, about Lorenzo, it's like he doesn't even recognise anyone else whe

    I was ready to love the whole world, but no one understood me, and I learned to hate. -Mikhail Lermontov.|L O R E N Z O|"Definitely, I am with you on this." I told my brother on the phone. "Well, then I guess majority wins." Nicolas replied from the other side of the fun before hanging up on me. I put the phone back into my pocket and give my attention to the guys, surrounding me. "I am sorry for Bianca." Mason apologized almost as quick ly as I hang up the call as if that was all he was waiting for. "It was not your fault." I told him, genuinely. Her sister being a persuasive woman who does not know how to take no as an answer, does not put him at fault. We nod at each other in understanding, like some fucking telepathy. "Is Aleeza still determined on going to college?" Lucas asked. I nod at him before adding in a final tone, "But she isn't going anywhere." "You know she is not wrong to ask for a little freedom."

    Her angel eyes saw the good in so many devils. -Unknown. |I R I S|I feel eyes on me even when mine are closed. I know who can it possibly be. I am definitely sure about who he is. Because there is no way I would not feel his presence, not feel him. With my eyes still closed shut as I let the cold breeze hit me, I said, "You are here." Slowly, I opened my eyes and turned my head around to see him staring at me with so much adoration. I can never get enough of that look in his eyes. Only if I could communicate so much just by my eyes, then probably I would have managed to tell him what he means to me. He takes slow steps in my direction and stops right beside me, towering over my sitting figure. I extended my hand to him, hoping, he wouldn't turn down my offer and make me feel embarrass but he surprised by slipping his large hand in my smaller one before he sat down by my side. He stared ahead at the blank sky and high buildings when h

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
