Navigating the cool night streets, Rosette sought solace in the dimly lit refuge of the nearest bar. The soft hum of conversation and clinking glasses surrounded her as she ordered a drink, the liquid serving as a feeble attempt to drown the cacophony of thoughts raging in her mind.Seated on a barstool, the bitterness of the drink mirrored the bitterness of her emotions. The recent events replayed like an unsettling skit, orchestrated by Khein, leaving her in a state of emotional confusion.Tears of frustration welled in her eyes as she wrestled with the aftermath of his actions. Was this his cruel way of seeking revenge for her sudden decision of leaving him five years ago?The complexities deepened as she mulled over the mixed signals he had sent—kissing her wounded lips even with the unexpected arrival of his girlfriend. The contradictory of his actions fueled the flames of anger within her. She grappled with the whirlwind of emotions, questioning his motives and her own role in a
The morning light streamed into the unfamiliar room, casting a disorienting glow on Rosette's surroundings. Still lying in bed, she felt a throbbing ache in her head and a heaviness that suggested a night of excess. As she opened her blue eyes, she found herself in a place she couldn’t recognize. Panic settled in as she struggled to recall the events that had led her to this unfamiliar place. Attempting to make sense of the foggy memories, Rosette's disorientation intensified. She looked around, trying to make out of the place she was possibly in. but she cannot remember a thing. Is she in a stranger`s house? What happened? A gasp left her lips as she realized that she must’ve went with a man after drinking a lot in that bar last night. A sense of vulnerability swept over her, amplified by the realization that she was without clothes. Anxiety gripped her as she grappled with the unknown, and a panic attack loomed on the horizon. In the midst of her distress, the door connecting to
The soft glow of morning light streamed through the curtained windows, casting a delicate warmth across the room where Rosette found herself. Disoriented and determined, she quietly tiptoed towards the door, her bare feet making minimal sound against the cool floor.She need to leave. She can’t stay here any longer. She will not allow herself be entangled with his web of confusing words and affection. She had enough, and she could only endure that much.Her heart raced with each step, fueled by a mix of fear and desperation. The room seemed to hold its breath as Rosette carefully turned the doorknob, hoping to slip away unnoticed. However, the creaking hinges betrayed her intentions, and just as the door began to inch open, a strong arm shot out, preventing her escape.“You are not going anywhere, my love,” he whispered against her ear, making her shiver.Khein, ever watchful, had sensed her attempt to flee. His presence loomed behind her, a silent force that thwarted her every effort
Frantically searching the room for her phone, Rosette's fingers danced across surfaces, seeking the familiar shape and cool touch of the device. The dim light added an extra layer of difficulty to her quest, shadows playing tricks on her senses. When her hand finally closed around the phone, a fleeting sense of relief surged through her—perhaps a lifeline to the outside world awaited. Her fingers, guided by both desperation and hope, danced across the screen as she swiped, tapped, and navigated through the device's features. She has to contact her family. She`s been kidnapped. It was against her will to come all the way here. Heck, she didn’t even expect him to suddenly show up! The phone, once a portal to connections and solace, now transformed into an instrument of despair. No bars, no signal—just an empty void that mirrored the isolation pressing down on her. “Fuck…” she uttered, exasperated. How the hell on earth there is no signal?! Are they on a very remote area?! How come?!
Rosette`s POV As I waited for him to finish showering, I sat on the bed with my arms crossed, a surge of determination coursing through me. There were numerous questions swirling in my mind, and I felt a pressing need to unearth the truth. I refused to linger in the shadows; I deserved clarity, and it was time to compel him to reveal the answers I sought. However, when he emerged from the shower, clad only in a towel that modestly covered his lower half, my well-intentioned conversation momentarily wavered. His physique, displayed before me, proved to be a distracting spectacle, and for a brief moment, I found myself inadvertently checking him out. He approached with an air of nonchalance, the droplets from his recent shower glistening on his bare chest. The tension in the room seemed to thicken as he sat down, the towel clinging modestly to his lower half. I took a deep breath, attempting to dispel the fleeting distraction his presence caused. "You've got questions," he stated, hi
In that moment, we both seemed to understand each other without saying much. The tension in the room started to ease, and instead of accusations, there was a quiet agreement that we both had some things to figure out. The newfound clarity felt like a fresh start, an opportunity to talk openly and fix any cracks in our relationship. It was like a small light in the room, showing us the way to a better future together. "Khein, things are all messed up. How do we even…. fix this and move on?" I asked, unsure of what the future held. The tension from our recent talk lingered, and it felt like we had a lot of work ahead to put things back together. I don`t know. Even though we had it already talked, I am still uncertain and kinda doubtful if we could still make it work. I`m afraid i`ll only mess things up, again. He reached for my hands, a gentle warmth in his touch. "We start by being honest with each other. No more secrets, no more running away." His sincerity tugged at the barriers I
As I stood at the sink, hands deep in soapy water, a pair of familiar arms gently wrapped around my waist from behind. The initial surprise jolted me, but I soon relaxed into the embrace, leaning back against Khein.Khein's voice, soft and reassuring, accompanied the comforting touch. "I hope you don't mind the interruption," he said, his breath warm against my ear.I turned my head slightly, meeting his eyes with a smile. "Not at all. It's a pleasant surprise. What brings you here?"He chuckled, the sound reverberating through the small kitchen. "Just wanted to sneak up on you and steal a moment. You looked lost in thought."I smirked, conceding, "Guilty as charged. It's been one of those days."Khein tightened his grip, and we stood there in easy silence for a moment.He broke the quiet, "It's cool to get lost in thought, you know. But it's also cool to share those thoughts. So spill, what's on your mind?"I laughed, appreciating the shift from routine to a more lighthearted convers
