SIENNAI was too conscious about the feel of his hand against mine, I was very aware of the way he threaded his fingers through mine to show mine. My heart pounded quite ridiculously within my chest as I sneaked up a glance at him. The proximity between the both of us was very close. Side by side we walked down the hallway. Benjamin was nowhere to be seen but I wasn't worried because Sylvester had explained it earlier. Apparently. He had to return back home so that it wouldn't be too suspicious that we didn't return yesterday night. He was going to tell my father that today has been quite packed and I had to catch up with meetings and there was a possibility that I might not even return home today because of how busy I was. It was quite a convincing and father was most likely to believe it. I felt bad for having to lie to my father like this but I also knew that he was someone who could exaggerate matters out of proportion. If he found out about the incident of me being poisoned and
SIENNAI kept on munching into the cheeseburger. I almost moaned aloud with pleasure at the feel of the cheese and soft bread filling my mouth. Sylvester's eyes darkened as he watched intently. “I was right. It tastes good, doesn't it?” He said and I nodded. I should be embarrassed that my mouth was filled up with food but at this point I was way past caring about anything. The food was absolutely delicious and it would be a crime not to enjoy it. He pushed the plate of chicken wings towards my direction as I ate. “You should try these. They're one of the most epic things to exist” he said, amusement shining in his eyes as he looked at me. I took one chicken wing and bit into it. It was delicious. For a diner so small, and so minimal, they seemed to have really delicious food. I couldn't imagine the last time that I was enthusiastic to eat anything like this. I noticed that his food was untouched and he preferred to watch me. I tried not to allow myself to feel too conscious about
SIENNAI didn't know what to make of what he just said, only that my heart was beating wildly within my chest. I was tempted to lean forward and kiss him but I decided to take my gaze away from him and I stared ahead into the distance. I didn't know what it was, but I just know that whatever that I felt for Sylvester had evolved into something deeper. We continued to stroll along the park and I continued to observe the playing children that passed us by as we played. He led me across to the cotton candy stand that stood at the one corner of the park and after the cone of cotton candy. I looked in awe at the fluffy pink candy and took a bite. As a child, I was never really allowed to have much candy, my father would always want me to eat healthy and would tell me that I had to be strong for whatever was to come. I guess now I know that he was talking about the responsibilities of being in charge that I had to face. I wished I was a kid again, I wish I was one of those kids running ar
SIENNAMy throat suddenly felt too dry as I glanced at Sylvester. My heart beat increased frantically and I was almost sure that I was going to have a heart attack. He was shirtless, the towel hung low from his waist and my eyes lingered longingly on his muscled chest as he used another towel to dry up his wet hair. I tried swallow past the lump in my throat. For some reason. I was unable to move from where I was. I was unable to even breathe. I looked him and sighed.As if he could suddenly sense that I was standing there and watching him, he caught my gaze. “Hi there. Are you okay?” He said and I nodded because I couldn't construct the right strings of words. For some reason, my throat was dry. My mouth suddenly felt too heavy. I felt every inch of my skin ignite into flame as I stared at him. He was strikingly gorgeous, a glorious sight to behold. “Come here” he said. My lips parted slightly. I knew it wasn't a command and I knew he wasn't ordering me around but something about t
SIENNA My heart hammered wildly within the confines of my chest. It took me a while for me to be able to register our close proximity. I pulled away, looking at him with wide eyes. I ached, hungered to kiss him again. He clutched my face between his hands tenderly as he looked at me. For some reason, we were unable to take our eyes away from each other. I was suddenly hit by the horror of what I had just done. I didn't want to focus on anything apart from the need that I was feeling, the need to consume him and claim him and claim him and make him mine but I couldn't help but feel that what I've done was completely and utterly wrong. He wasn't mine to begin with and regardless of our present condition. I couldn't think of anything that would make me feel better. It still didn't erase the fact that Tamara was still a huge elephant in the room that lingered between the both of us. Irrespective of if she was a bitch or not. I pulled away from him instantly and something in the way he
SIENNAI wondered what he meant by complicated. It bothered me but I tried to drift my mind away from it. Tonight has been a lot for the both of us. I sighed, my eyes fluttered closed almost immediately when his fingers ran through my hair. My heart beat heightened frantically and yet the tension in my chest loosened slightly. Considering what happened an hour ago. I should be panicked by our close proximity but I wasn't. I turned to face him, our eyes met once more. I was rendered breathless when his fingers ran from my hair to the side of my face. I was tempted to lean forward and kiss him again."We shouldn't be doing this. You of all people know that we shouldn't be doing this" I whispered, I had no reason why my heart was racing."I know and yet, for some reason. I don't think I can stay away from you or keep my hands off you sienna" he said. "Talk about something you've always wanted to talk about. Anything that makes you happy," I said and I listened to him talk about his ch
SIENNASylvester didn't say much during the drive back home, infact he said nothing at all. Tension lingered in the air between us. From the news he just received, to what occurred between us yesterday and I didn't know how best to bring up a conversation just to calm him down, I doubted I was going to be of much help so I opted for silence. There was still a long drive ahead of us. I noticed how tightly he clenched the steering wheel, his knuckles turned a pasty white as he held the steering wheel tightly. Unable to handle the silence between us anymore, I placed a warm hand over his as he drove. “Everything is going to be fine. It might not even be bad as you think it is” I said in an attempt to calm him down and even if he clutched my hand back, something told me that he wasn't just ready to come to terms with the fact that he could hope. “Everything was blown to pieces, sienna. I guess I should be relieved that no one got hurt,” he said and I sighed. “About yesterday night. Do
SIENNAWe treaded carefully against the ashes as we entered the storage room. My heart plummeted in my chest as I looked around, at the ashes, at the splinters of wood. If Sylvester felt this way now. I really wanted to imagine how he would be feeling later. Most of the cylinders that were kept in the storage room were blown to near pieces, we could see the splinter of woods, something in the room had been burnt in crisp ash. Whoever did this was intentional about sabotaging the room beyond recovery. I wondered who would be heartless enough to do this, to make sure we could never fix anything in this room again. Tamara, Benjamin and I remained silent, each of us tense as we watched Sylvester look at the room. An uncomfortable stretch of silence passed between us as he waited for him to react. He remained silent, with a faraway look in his eyes as he stared at the empty room that had been ruined by the fire. “When did this happen?” He finally rasped, his voice cold, empty. “Around
