RAINI The days blurred slowly and gave way to the night, I was still getting used to the serenity this new place I found myself that looked to be almost perfect.There appeared to be something quite perfect about this place that I couldn't place my fingers about from the concrete ceilings. Concrete walls. Concrete floors—That were engraved with what looked to be the head of a wolf to other things around the house.He took time helping with the stitches and running his fingers along my back as he made to ease the pain that had accumulated over the time that I had been there.Zavier popped two tablets into my hands asking to have adequate rest before walking out of the door again.When he was gone, I walked to the phone at the bedside and thought about ringing River. She had been on my mind all this while and I couldn't wait to reach out to her.The number rang twice, but no one answered…It got me worried for a while and just when I decided to call one more time and give up she picked

ZAVIERLove for me had been different.It is said that once you set foot into that hazy, carnal corner of the world, you couldn’t go back.What happens when you step foot into aingenious part that had to do with love.My problem came in two: First was having to deal with my feelings and the other with the small fact that I was losing my mind.With the sun grazing down on my skin while talking with the Sheriff — I looked up to find her by the window of my room.In a way that I found quite comical Raini dodges but not before I knew it was her.I could have almost squealed her name, if I wasn't discussing something very important at that moment with a guest.Stiil, I couldn't help but be amused about how she had hid herself behind the curtains hiding from me and for some reason I couldn't help it other than to think about her as a fascinating creature.Moments later, I was standing at the same spot she had been just moments ago as the room was still filled with the scent of her in a wa

RAINIAsk me again in a week…Realizing it now, that word felt like I was keeping a man as prominent and influential as Zavier Wood on the hook—Who does that?The click of my heels made a squeaky noise as I made way to my room with my mind heavy with the thought of how the evening had gone…Not so bad actually.My heartbeat and I replayed each moment in deep reverberation against my deep in my mind and soul—against my rib cages, it was not like I cared too much about the most recent incident it just left me a bit unsettled.It had only been days since I arrived here and as I was standing in Front of the mirror wiping my make-up off my mind was filled with the same thing as each night. Uncertainty.The uncertainty I felt was the same, but something was different now. The ache inmy heart from frequent nightmares was replaced by a thought of him that filled every available space left prior dark.I could feel it—him—everywhere, and he wasn’t even here. As I slipped off my dress and walk

RAINII could swear to myself that I heard my heart racing as it tried to beat it way out of me as if that was possible.He was the only one that said my name that way or rather he was the only one capable of doing that.Everything came to a total pause at the minute leaving only two functional things..three if I counted Zavier, myself and my raging heart.Was this proper?With no other options I stood right at the spot where I was frozen while the world spinned round."Sorry, there is something I have to do." I heard him say over the phone as he made his way toward where I was with a smile on his face."Hey, been looking around for you all day" He says as he approaches where I was standing.A part of me wanted to just leave the place I was, too bad I already lost the chance to do that.He was so close now, so close that his scent was everywhere leaving me intoxicated by his presence."Why do I have this feeling you are avoiding me?" He asked with a smirk on his face.I rolled my ey

RAININothing else filled the room than emptiness and silence —The two took over every space around the quarters of the room and before I could realize it, I could feel it colonizing my mind as well.In fact, the quiet seemed to eat at me theThe entire time, despite having River over, I looked to be having a very difficult time expressing myself as the events of today hit me like so heavy in my heart, leaving a numbness behind.Still unable to decide what I wanted and with Zavier's offer for me to stay still on the table I was left with so many thoughts of what I truly wanted.There looked to be a feeling of panic, as I didn't want to make a quick decision as ky would definitely change the course of how things were going to be from hence.The fact he was still here with me at close proximity was driving me insane.It was as though my body was hyper aware of his presence, so much that it was putting me under so much pressure.In a way all I was doing by keeping his offer hanging was

ZAVIER Two voices, both women. One dominant and the other concerned, I must have missed the beginning of the whole discussion but I could quite decipher what they were talking about because they had called my name in the process.They spoke fluently in a voice I didn't really need to strain before I could hear and like it was said when two women are locked together In a room behind closed doors except gossip.I had been standing in front of the door, almost knocking when I heard footsteps coming from the other end.Bianca! I thought to myself as I could perceive her scent.After the conversation I had with her about giving Raini time to come around before I make a move, she would most definitely have my head if she finds me there.I adjusted my glasses, scrutinizing the whole atmosphere for a place to hide as I didn't want her to come into quick conclusions.I had only been a few feet away from Bianca who was standing right there at the door knocking and for some reason I had decid

ZAVIERI Stood there for a long minute, shocked that was actually right here at this moment as she was totally the last person I was expecting to see, not at a te like this least…not a te when I was moaning what would be her leaving."Why- What are you doing here? It is still quite early?" I asked.She didn't give a reply, just looked at me still with that same eye looking all scared and all.Unease drifted through my nerves and it burnt right through it, maybe a few hours ago—When I had not really heard what she had said I might have reacted differently. But standing there and having her watch me with what I would now call deceitful eyes, all that was left in me were a lot of controversial questions: Starting with, What the hell was she looking for here?It was so quiet, so quiet that all I could hear was the sound of that still – dark early morning.I could hear my heart beating in my own heart or was it her's?I took another step back as if to get some footing, but it was mostly
