The Burning Desire Chapter 21
In the word 'nothing', many things are hidden, sometimes anger, sometimes unhappiness, sometimes pain. You never know what it means. -Unknown.|Z Y R A|Maria was right. The house was on fire and ger husband couldn't find a vetter time to encourage her to get over her anxiety about talking to other people. Because I wasted like whole 5-7 minutes on the phone call with her when the flames from our house were touching the sky. Rubbing my temple with my fingers, I walked in another room looking all black now. Most of the things we had are now burned to ashes. Good thing, I didn't had the cash for Flora's treatment at home. "This is exciting." Logan commented, amused as he took the tour of a burnt house which he finds amusing. Did I forgot to mention that everyone is here? Including, Nicolas, Lorenzo, Aleeza, Crystal, Logan, Shawn and Flora. Everyone insisted that they tag along though Leah disappeared somewhere in the party but nobody

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past and ever sinner has a future. -Oscar Wilde. |N I C O L A S|She is walking like a robot this whole time. Even when we took a tour of her burnt and completely destroyed house there wasn't even an ounce of emotion on that face of hers. But I know better that the act she put on. I know she lost something in there. Like Flora, I know she was upset but she didn't show. Didn't even blinked twice when we reached there watching the house in flames. "Nic," Shawn's voice interrupted my thoughts. following his voice I turned around to see him."The girls are settled." He informed me and I nodded to him as he disappeared out of my room. When their house got destroyed there was no fucking way they could have stayed in that house, specially, when Shawn told me that the house didn't catch fire out of no where. It was burnt by someone on purpose. He hacked

How many times has people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn't pull the trigger. -Virginia Woolf|N I C O L A S|Three days later. She is still here as if I didn't threatened her with her life three days ago. But I try to ignore her as much as I can. Because I am done tolerating her. I would probably end up murdering her if she would say anything stupid about her. "I might have asthama because everytime I look at you. I can't breath." Logan flirted eyeing Zyra up and down like a fucking creep he is. "I wonder what it would feel like to have my fingers wrapped around an asthmatic person." Zyra said pretending to think with her forefingers tapping against her chin. "You are cruel." Logan whined, relaxing beside her on the couch and the way his legs spread touching her knee, even if it was unintentional, it made my blood boil. "I prefer creative. But okay." Zyra told him and brought her phone out of her pocket and opened it. "Why wouldn't you just fall for my charms, now

I am sure there are aspects of personality buried within me that will surface as soon as I know I am completely loved. -Jerzy Kosinski|Z Y R A|The cold breeze hit my face as I race against the air. The sky above me is turning from grey to blue as I race faster. The sweat drops dripping down my face gives me a feeling of satisfaction. Looking around I noticed the sun has rose and people are coming out of their houses whether it's for a good morning walk or dragging their ass to the nearby store to get something they ran out of. Checking the time in my wrist watch I decided to head back towards the penthouse. When I left the penthouse was dead silent, screaming the evidence for people sleeping peacefully in their respective rooms. I don't sleep much at night. Hell, I barely sleep and my room being right beside Nicolas doesn't really help. Considering last night he was screaming like a maniac on phone to someone about letting a man go. I was

The way to love someone is to lightly run your fingers over that person's soul until you find a crack- and, then gently pour your love into that crack. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|Everything lies. Except the eyes. But when her eyes green eyes locked with my grey ones I couldn't help but think that I have the same effect on her like she has on me and there could be nothing more tempting than this. After spending the day, it was time to go to bed and torture myself by thinking about with how many ways would I fuck her. Because there is nothing better to do when she is around. Even when she isn't. All I can think about is her and only her. "What the fuck!" The curse left my lips when I took in the girl lying on my bed half naked, just in her bra and panties, in front of me. Leah. "What the fuck are you doing, Leah?" I spit out and with a seductive smile plastered on her face she sat down on the bed. "Come here, Nico." She smiled beckoning me but I stood my ground still. "Get off my

I am afraid that if I open myself, I will not stop pouring. Why do I fear becoming a river? What mountain gave me such shame? -Jamie Oliveria.|Z Y R A|My words got interrupted in between when his lips, suddenly, met mine. His large hand gripping my chin softly as if he is afraid of hurting me. His lips moved softly against mine and I gave in and kissed him back with my trembling lips. This looks like a moment a person would be dying for and wouldn't know what exactly to do when it arrives. When my lips moved against his, he let out a soft groan of desperation. For the for at time in years, I felt confused and amazed. What was surprising in all this was that I felt. I felt his hands on my body, I felt his lips against mine. I felt his warmth in my body. I felt his softness in the kiss. I felt so much at this only moment that I think I would explode with these feelings. Bringing my hands up, I ran them in his hairs and he circled his anoth

All this beauty in the world but my eyes are only satisfied when I look at you. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|My hand extended to reach the green eyed woman who slept with me last night. But all I recieved was cold sheets. I opened my eyes, not liking what I see. The side of her bed is empty as if she was never there. I stood up from the bed raking a hand through my hairs when I decided to check the bathroom for her. I called her name but there was no response. That's when I realised that her clothes are gone. That means she is gone. The thought of her leaving me cold in bed leaves a bolt of anger in my veins. With a sour face, I took a random shirt from the closet and wore it before sliding up the pants and leaving my room in search of her. I didn't bothered knocking on her door as I stormed inside just to find it empty as if no one lives here. Where the fuck did she go?!Joining the people in the living room, I saw she was nowhere. Aleeza and Flora are here while Crystal is in th

I crave the side of you that you don't show to anyone else. -Nicolas.|N I C O L A S|I turned around to look at the blonde woman who is standing as if I didn't had my hands wrapped around her neck last night, ready to choke her to death. "We need to talk." She spoke and I stayed quiet noticing her body language as she struggled to keep her fake posture. "I guess not." I told as I start to walk past her but her next words stopped me in my mid track. "I am leaving, Nico." She announced. I don't know what is there to be so dramatic about it because I am extremely glad that she is finally leaving. "Have a safe journey." I said formally. Not like I wish her bad or anything but with last few days she lost the respect I somehow had for her. "What is it with her?" Her words filled with frustration and venom, screamed her feelings. And, we are back to the green eyed girl both of us are obsessed with. This time, I turned aro

Life starts all over again when it gets crisps in the fall. -F. Scott, Fitzgerald. |N I C O L A S|Two months later..."Is it even good to eat pickles and chocolate together?" I ask Flora, who sat beside me eyeing the food eating monster ahead of us. Two bowls, one of pickle and another of chocolate rests on the table and we are strictly ordered to keep my eyes off that food, because apparently, that weird combination of food only belongs to her. We would not even like to ruin our taste buds with that. Thank you very much. "Does it matter?" Flora asked me, holding the glass of warm milk in her hand that Zyra needs to drink to digest all the food she has been eating lately. "She would not stop, anyways." She shrugged. "Why don't you talk to her about it?" I tell Flora, because if I would go to talk to her she would start throwing things at me, which includes everything from cushion to flower vase. "And, get myself admitted in the hospital?" Flora

Until you have tethered your madness to someone else's sanity in order to keep breathing, you don't know vulnerability. -Nicole Lyons.|Z Y R A|In one quick move he reached for me, tugging me against his chest as he claimed my mouth with his, in a kiss that was so much hotter and possessive. His lips slanted over mine, hot and needy as his tongue tasted my mouth. I froze in shock for two seconds or three before I kissed him back. His mouth was punishing, slamming against mine, savage and raw. He attacked me with his lips and I met every single assault of his, I moaned into his mouth. Explosions of sensation that I felt all over my body as his mouth attacked mine were so intense. I kissed him just as savagely, channelling all my rage into the kiss, biting his bottom lip, hard. I bit hard enough that it draw out blood and I tasted blood, my tongue darted out to swipe at his lips. He growled low in my throat, pulling me closer. His to

People will kill you over time, and how they will you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like "be realistic". -Dylan Moran. |N I C O L A S|The loud piercing scream of the man travelled to my ears, providing the extreme relief. In the shadowed recesses of the chamber, an oppressive malevolence hung thick in the air, suffocating reason and festering in the very marrow of the room. The acrid scent of fear, a tangible miasma, intermingled with the metallic tang of desperation, creating a spectral atmosphere that clawed at the edges of sanity.Cillian, the hapless who had dared to sever the tether to my soul, now cowered in the spectral gloom, his futile resistance against unyielding restraints a pitiful ballet of despair.A cruel grin twisted my lips, a grotesque mask of malevolence that reflected the abyssal darkness within.The flickering light, a feeble sentinel against the encroaching shadows, cast ominous shapes upon my countenance, morphi

And, I wonder what is a greater wish, this entire world or to be free from it. - Cara Dekel.|Z Y R A|Two months later..The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow on our shared space. Nicolas, with his overbearing protectiveness, insisted on handling even the lightest chores, citing potential risks that only his mind could conjure. A simple task like reaching for a cereal box became a hilarious dance of him swiftly gliding in, determined to be my knight in shining armor."Nicolas, I'm just grabbing some cereal, not defusing a bomb," I teased, watching his serious expression dissolve into a reluctant grin."You never know, love. Pregnancy cravings can be unpredictable," he quipped, handing me the cereal box with a flourish.Did I mentioned that ever since he has started calling me love, I get this weirdly good feeling enough my stomach where I just wants to remove everything from between us and kiss him?Just like Ni

No human being has ever stood so close to my soul as you stood. -James Joyce. |N I C O L A S|I stood at the edge of the hospital bed, Zyra resting peacefully amidst the sterile surroundings. Her dark hair spilled over the pillow, a cascade of untamed waves framing the serenity on her face. The lines of worry that had etched themselves into her features were softened, replaced by a newfound vitality. The transformation was as palpable as the anticipation in the room.My gaze lingered on the subtle curve of her belly, evidence of the life growing within. The very thought of the tiny heartbeat beneath her skin fueled a fierce protectiveness within me.Zyra's lashes cast delicate shadows on her cheeks, and the rise and fall of her breathing was a soothing rhythm. The beeping of the machines served as a background melody, a reminder of the fragility of life and the strength that could emerge from vulnerability.Her hand, warm and delicate, reste

In the era of calamities, you are a moment of peace. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|Noah's words rings in my ear, 'Both, the mother and the baby are fine.'Who the hell is the baby, they are talking about?When I asked the question, everyone in the room shared looks with each other as if contemplating whether to tell me or not. "What is it?" I asked, no one in particular. Because judging from their faces whoever answers my question can enter in the list of my favourite people. Shawn, who is standing at the foot of my bed spares a glance to his boss, as if telling hin that it is all on him. Aleeza and Crystal looks worried and concerned? No idea what it is but I am starting to realise it is pretty serious. "Noah, what baby are you talking about?" I ask the doctor himself, not relying on the people around me. Because right now, they are as good as a phone without internet. Noah looks guiltily between me and Nicolas as if contemplating whether to an

You touch me like everything you asked god for. Underneath your hands I become poetry. This is the alchemy that you do. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|She woke up. After two days of misery, two days of going through absolute hell, she finally rewarded me with her life. Her hauntingly green eyes came to my view and I swear I have never breathed and sighed in relief more. Her pale face slowly returned to life and all I could do was thank her for returning. She came back, that's all matters.Her gaze met mine, and in that charged moment, time seemed to hold its breath. The room, still and sterile, bore witness to a reunion tinged with the weight of our shared history. Her green eyes, a repository of unspoken stories, traced the lines of my face as I stood at the threshold of her recovery."David," she spoke my name, the syllables carrying a resonance that echoed through the silent space. A fragile smile played on her lips, revealing a vulnera

Today once again on the thread of my sorrows,I have strung the flowers of your memory. -Faiz Ahmed Faiz. |Z Y R A|My eyes flutter open, and for a moment, the world is a blurry canvas of shapes and shadows. The soft hum of machines and distant shuffles of footsteps weave into my consciousness, creating a disoriented symphony. Where am I? What happened?As clarity gradually infiltrates the haze, the sterile scent of a hospital seeps into my awareness. White walls stand guard around me, and the rhythmic beeping of monitors punctuates the stillness. Panic flutters within me, a caged bird desperate for release.I turn my head, a slow, deliberate movement that sends a wave of dizziness through me. The sight of an IV drip, its thin tube disappearing into my arm, anchors me to a reality I struggle to grasp. Questions crowd my mind, a carousel of uncertainties spinning faster than I can catch them.Then, as if emerging from a dense fog, faces come int
