Sometimes life doesn’t go the way you want it. You’d wish for something, hoping it would happen and even have a chance of having it but watch it wash away just when you were close to getting it. It’s the same with her relationship with Kendrix—she hoped it works out. She really wanted things to go smoothly and they’d have a happy ending but, it’s been a month now and here she was living in his mother’s house for the past four weeks. She only stayed back, to think things through and made her decision. She had made up her mind. She was moving back to Scuris pack today and try to forget Kendrix ever existed despite how hard that is. The first step to forgetting him is leaving where she’d see him every day. It’s crazy how you’d talk to someone every day, share everything, get into each other’s space just so one day you’d wake up and not even spare each other a glance. Aurora winces, not because of that thought but because she just pushed open the entrance door of Kendrix’s house. She
He lowered his head and shifts enough to open the door. She opened the door and stormed out without sparing him a glance. Aurora didn’t have to think twice on this. It was better for her to stay away from him at least until she figures out what she wanted. She had never been so muddled and dejected in her life like this. Everything was jumbled up and too much to take in at once. It feels like she’ll never get out of this mess—like she’s stuck in a clueless maze with no exist. It feels like she’s solving a puzzle that has no face. Kendrix has lied to her or kept secrets from her, or both. She finding it hard to give him a benefit of doubt about that. She had tried to see things from his perspective but it doesn’t match. The last piece of puzzle doesn’t match with the last puzzler. He has no reason to hide anything from her—he should’ve told her everything even if she was going to choose Blake. If he loved her enough like he said and trusted her, he wouldn’t have doubted her. Now, h
Her heart began racing the moment the car pulled into the parking lot. She could see an airplane landing and dropping off passengers. Maybe that was her plane, she thought, hurrying inside the building and gripping onto her suitcase. “Slow down, Aurora. I haven’t even hugged you goodbye.” Azzura hurriedly went after her. Aurora could swear she had forgotten her parents came with her. She halts and turned around to look at them. She was too jumpy and paranoid to even focus on the things around her. This was her first time traveling, her first time being on a plane, her first time interacting with outcasts alone and her first time staying far away from home. She felt overwhelmed by just staring at them for the last time. “I’m really going to miss you guys,” She mutters and engulfed them both in a nice hug. They both squeezed her, making her to giggle at the pressure. “Don’t you dare get pregnant, Aurora,” Azzura proclaimed, sniffing away the tears that were already gushing out. Aur
She’s been awake for more than an hour but couldn’t find the strength to get out of bed. She couldn’t even take off the itchy jeans she slept off in. Somehow, her eyes were glued to the globe chandelier as she hugged a pillow to her chest. This sluggishness and impediment were because of Kendrix abrupt text message. She never knew how affected she’d be with just a simple text. It’s just a text—she keeps telling her mind. If it was just a text, why can’t she get up on freshen up? Why can’t she unpack? Why can’t she even get up and go check on breakfast? She sighs and toss the pillow across the bed as she rolled to her side. Her eyes caught sight of her phone lying on the side drawer. She groans softly and closed her eyes. If not because she needed that phone, she would’ve thrown it away because that phone alone reminds her of Kendrix. He bought it for her just few weeks before she moved to his pack. Now she was left with his mocking memories. She heard a door open and she knew it w
It’s been three weeks since she’d met Ryan even though they lived in the same floor and amazingly few doors apart. Max’s apartment was room 16 while Ryan lives in room 12. She’d gone out to the rooftop almost every day, hoping she’d see him again but he never shows up. It’s always a couple barging out drunk or some random man ranting about his nagging wife or work. She doesn’t like any of the men that she’d met on the rooftop—they’re not as lively as Ryan was. They’re not as real as he is. They all try to impress her and it’s a turn off for her. Ryan didn’t even try to flirt but she found him fascinating. She could see herself being friends with him for a long time. Yes, she just wants to be friends with him but if she was to tell someone about him, they’d never believe her if she told them she wasn’t crushing on him. Who wouldn’t crush on tall, big Ryan? He looks so much like Kendrix. She grunts out loudly when the thought of her ex-mate crossed her mind. She has been thinking ab
She took a right turn and walked down the pavement. She could see the lights blooming from the café. She exhales deeply as she shoved her hands into her jacket pockets. This was the first time she was going out alone ever since she moved her. She always goes out together with Max even if they were just going down to the lobby. He insisted in accompanying her but she politely rejected. She wanted to get used to going out alone if she was going to start working. She can’t have him waking up by 7am just to take her to work while it as just a block away from their apartment. She stood in front of the café window, and looked through it. It’s few minutes past 8 but it still seems busy. Ryan was talking to a girl as he hands her, her coffee. She laughed at something he said and placed her hand on his shoulder. He gave her a tight lip smile as he shrugged her hand off him before he turned to leave. Aurora’s stomach churned as she smiled. Why was she happy that he just shunned another girl?
“Here’s your Macchiato, hope you enjoy it.” That was her tenth order she had given out on her first day. It was almost noon, which meant it was almost her break time. She enjoyed every bit of her work, except the part where she has to stand for hours, taking orders and making it. She loves the light pink colour shirt uniform with the grew P-cap that matched her hair. It was barely visible to people—it meant no one would nag her about her hair except she takes her hat off. Aurora heaved a sigh, leaning her waist on the counter as she scanned around the room. It was Monday, the busiest day of the café and it meant people were piled up, placing orders and having their breakfast before work. Brooke leaned beside her. “How are you holding up?” She asked and nudged Aurora’s shoulder. Aurora looked at her and chuckled softly. “Better than I expected.”Ryan walked out of his office, answering a call. He looks at her and nodded, smiling before looking away and heading out of the café. That m
She was a forgiver. Her heart was so large. She didn’t know how to give up on people, because she always believed the good in those she loved. It was until she was walked on so many times, she had no choice but to let go of those who burned holes in her heart. “Ryan wants to see you in his office,” carter said, peeping from the door. She snapped out of her reverie and looked at him. He raised a brow at her and tilt his head. “You good?” “Hmm? Yeah, yeah. I’ll be there in a sec,” she said and he nods before closing the door. She got to her feet with a sigh. The sigh wasn’t only because she keeps getting flashbacks of Kendrix’s face before he walked out, Ryan had somewhat been avoiding her for two days and now he suddenly summoned for her. It’s aggravating that he made her feel guilty for something that wasn’t her fault and for something she owes him zero explanations for. Ryan is upset with her because Kendrix showed up unannounced and he assumes Kendrix is her lover—his assumption
