It's not what you think

"Ariadne, what are you doing?"

She brushed his lips with hers, Like she was giving her a taste of starter before the main course "I will stop if you want me to." 

She leaned closer and closer to him.

But, Renee marched in. "The traffic killed me today.", She groaned.

Ariadne panicked and tightened her robe. She was so dead. She tried to get away from Leon but she slipped back into his arms.

What the fu*k?

"I... Actually..." She stammered.

"What the hell is going on here?" Renee said in disgust. She closed her eyes. Leon just stood there with folded arms. 

Actually he also wanted the answer to the same question. He thought that Ariadne was upset with him. He thought that she will question him or maybe burst out at him but instead she just threw herself at him.

Yes, Leon is handsome. Girls literally die to be with him. But here we are talking about Ariadne. She is not like other girls. That's what attract him the most.

"It's not what you think, Renee. I slipped on him and the very second you walked in the room. What else could it be?"

"Yeah sure, what else could it be." Leon smirked and walked away.

~~~

It was half past twelve. Ariadne was on her bed. Sleep alluded her. How can she sleep after everything that happened today.

She went through a roller coster of emotions today.

How can she face Leon after what she did? 

He must be thinking so badly of her. She has given him a reason.

She covered her face with the pillow. A lot of things were going on in her head. And sadly she had no one to talk to about it.

Her journal, she can write about it in her journal.

It wasn't on her study table.

She opened her cupboard and looked for her journal. Where did it go?

Renee came in her room earlier today to get some books. Maybe it got mixed with that. 

She went to Renee's room and looked around. In Renee's closet Ariadne found an old journal. Maybe it was Renee's but it had her initial on it.

She turned a few page. It was her handwriting and not Renee's. She must have written it before she lost her memory.

Her heart screamed with joy. Finally she got something that could tell her about her past. 

The weird thing was that she asked Renee a lot of times if she had anything from her past. But Renee always denied. 

Why did she keep this from her?

Maybe this journal befolds some dark chapters of her life and Renee was trying to protect her. The only was to find out is to go through it.

"What are you doing here?" She heard Renee's voice behind her.

She gasped, Renee can't know about this journal. What if she takes it back from her?

She hid the jouran under her tee.

"Do you need anything?" Renee asked her.

"No.. Actually yes. You remember the black top that you wore a couple of days back?"

"The one with tiny flowers?"

"Yeah, I was wondering if I could borrow it."

"Sure why not."

Renee took out the top from her closet and gave it to Ariadne. Ariadne thanked her and left Renee's room. She was trying to avoid looking into Renee's eyes.

Otherwise she would have figured out that Ariadne was lying to her.

Phew!

Renee didn't suspected anything.

Why is she even hiding? 

She was feeling like a thief. But it's not stealing if the thing is yours.

She heard a thud from downstairs. 

She went to take a look. She saw that Leon was sneaking out of the house. Where was he going at this hour?

Ariadne decides to follow her.

She peeped out from the door.

A black car was parked in front of their apartment. Leon was talking to the driver. He looked angry. But Ariadne was not able to hear anything.

What shall she do now?

Something was wrong with Leon. He was definitely keeping something from them and it was time to find out. But how?

A stray dog barked at them.

This was it.

Ariadne waslked with slow steps and his behind the car.

She never thought that her life could be so adventrous. But again what she knows of her life.

Is he into drug dealing?

No, he is to cute to be a drug dealer.

"If anything happens to her I will kill all of you and you know it, now go away." Leon yelled. The man drove away.

He lit a cigarette. Ariadne just stood behind her.

"So how long have you been here?" He said.

Ariadne startled, how did he knew that she was here.

He turned to her, "How long have you been here?"

"That doesn't matters. Who are you Leon? I trusted you."

"And you thought that the best way to find your answers is to throw yourself at me. How can you be so naive?"

"What on earth do you know about me, Leon?"

"Nothing." He sighed. 

Were his eyes a little bleary? Maybe he is high.

"Who are you Leon? Why were those guys after you? What have you done to them?"

He held her hand, gently "I will tell you but I need you to trust me."

"That's for me to decide." She pulled her hand back.

"I was in a gang. Actually I was their leader."

"What?" She said in disbelief. Frankly it would have been better if he was a drug dealer.

He held her arm and pulled her closer to him, "But I promise you that I have left that world behind me and I will never do anything to hurt you. That's why those guys came after me."

"That's how you got hurt?"

"Yeah, they tried to kill me. It is not as easy as I thought it would be to leave the dark world."

She didn't say anything for a while. There was an awkward silence between the two.

"Do you trust me?" He asked her.

"I don't want to but I do."

He smiled.

"It is getting late now, let's go in." She said.

    "I..." I stammered. I hated myself that moment. I made notes about how I would greet him today. But I ended up stammering so yeah I was on to a good start. "I am just kidding." He chuckled. He was looking so hot. His abs were peeping from his t-shirt. I couldn't help but imagine how it would feel to touch them. Renee joined us. She was smirking, I knew why. "I will see you girls around." Saying so he went inside. I was disappointed. I was looking so beautiful but he didn't even complimented me ones. Complimenting me was far, he didn't even looked at me like I wanted him to. I have seen him looking at Ava. We went inside. Beer bottles were strewn around. People were either making out or getting drunk. Renee's eyes sparkled when she spotted Leon. The sparkle changed into tears when she saw how close he was with some girl. He was taking to the girl but his eyes were on her breasts. He send the girl away when he saw Renee. "Break up with him. You still have time Renee." "He se

  • The Mafia's Queen   I have never been happier

    "So I guess it's Ian and Ariadne", said Ava. I saw that Ava rolled her eyes at me. But who cares now? I was naive to think that if I told Ian that I liked him, he will say it back. My heart was pounding in my chest. "I guess so." Saying so Ian got up. I waited all my life for this moment and now it was finally here. He lead me to the closet. I knew that Renee must be freaking out. He locked the door and looked at me with those eyes. The eyes that had the power to kill me. I gave him a smile. I wasn't sure how else I was supposed to react. if it was on to me I would have hugged him so tight that he couldn't have left me ever.... "So we have seven minutes " He smirked. He had the face of a hero and the smile of a devil. "We have seven mintues." I could have answered better. I could have asked him if he had anything in mind. But no, I just repeated what he said. He walked towards me. "Ian I wanted..." Before I could even complete my sentence he pushed me against the wall.

    20th July: Dear diary, Renee hasn't talked to me since we fought yesterday. I didn't meant to yell at her but I did. I wish I could rewind the time. She is staying at her friend's house. She is the only person I can talk to. I can't afford to loose her. Sometimes I can't believe that we both are not real sisters. When I woke up this morning I promised myself that I won't hover over everything that happened yesterday. i will keep that in the past and at least try to be happy. But that thought didn't lasted for long. When I checked my phone earlier today I saw a post from Ava. She posted a picture of me with my dress soaked in wine, thanks to Leon. The photo went viral. Everyone in college was reposting it. I became a joke. They were calling me by names. This was too much. I deactivated my account. So for a while I will cut myself from social media or maybe I will just cut myself off from people. Dad called me in his room. He was reading a book. I knocked the door, "Dad

    Ian was sleeping beside. I started at him all night. I was living my dream. It is hard to believe in love when you come from a broken family. And today I found true love. I never wanted this moment to get over.I caressed his face gently. He rubbed his eyes and woke up. I kissed his forehead, "Good morning, Ian."He took a moment to process like he was expecting me here. He must have had a bad dream or something."Morning" He said."Last night was beautiful.""Hmm."Yeah, that was what he said. I got a little self conscious. Maybe I did something wrong that's why he was acting cold but how is it possible. I didn't do much. It was all him.Wait a minute! Maybe that was the problem. Or maybe he is always cold in the morning. I don't know because it was the first time we woke together."I want you to be my date to prom." He said."What?"

    Ava came and stood close to Ian. It killed me to see how close she was standing to Ian. What killed me more was that he was not pushing her away.She checked me out from top to bottom. I knew why she was acting like this. I copied her look. I even tied my hair like she used to do.I am not a copy cat but Ian has been with Ava for a long time. He noticed me for the first time in the party when I was dressed nothing like me. He loved Ava so I figured out that I could be loved by him only if I will look like Ava."So this is who you are replacing me with with." Ava smiled.He grabbed her arm and took her in the corner. Fu** his privacy. I stood behind a pillar, I was close enough from them to hear them."Ariadne, seriously. Can't you find anyone better." Ava smiled."I can be with who ever I want. It is none of your business."Come on you can't be so angry just because I said that I can't go to prom with you.""So that's it?""Fine... I slept with James so what? Why is it even bothering

    I got mesmerised by the lyrics. They showed his pain that he was trying to hide. He was trying to act like a cool dude who didn't cared if his girl friend broke up with him. They were for Ava. How could she leave him? She didn't deserved him. She cannot do justice to him love. He deserved someone who will give him love as much as he will give her, like me. I will love him even more. All his life he has loved, I want to show him what it's like to be loved. I just stared him play. He called out to me and burst my little bubble. He was looking at me with confused eyes. He was now expecting me of all the people. How do I know? His look said it all. I woke back to reality and greeted him with a smile. "What are you doing here?" He asked me. "Oh I was looking for you." "Is it?" He moved towards me with slow steps. I was feeling nervous, scared, excited, all at the same time. "I never knew you could sing." I made a desperate attempt to change the topic. "My music is my com

He opened the car door, "Jump in I will drop you."Renee started giggling. Ian rolled his eyes. I know he gets annoyed when anyone teases him. Especially if he is being teased by my name."We can walk, thank you Ian" I said."What are you doing?" Renee pinched me. It hurt me but Ian was in front of me so I had to act cool. "I have to stop at Caitilyn's house. Ariadne you should go with Ian."I nodded along. I sat in. I was trying to not look at him straight away. I have no experience of being in a relationship whatsoever but every time I was with him I had this weird fear in my heart that something will happen and he will burst out at me."Hi"
