2024-10-29 19:42:56"So you basically did that?" William asked Brieanna.
"Duh," she said and rolled her eyes. "I did so many crazy things but yeah that video just posted online on itself and everyone thinks I'm a slut and that's just fucked up."
William chuckled, thinking that there was really more to this girl. He wish he could bring back the Brieanna she was just talking about. They just finished the fifteenth round of the game and now the sun is setting.
"So what about you? How come you're living alone?" Brieanna asked.
"I'm all grown up. I'm twenty four for Pete's sake," William cooly answered that made her raise a brow and gasped.
"You're five years older than me!" She exclaimed. Not in her wildest thoughts did she think that he was so much older than her. She really can't believe it!
William laughed at the expression she just showed.
"What're you laughing at?" Brieanna asked him frowning.
"Do I really look that old to you?" William asked back chuckling. Brieanna then glared at him with confusion on her face. "I'm actually twenty one and going to be twenty two on April 7th."
Brieanna continued to glare at William, she doesn't believe him!
"What?" He asked chuckling as he looks at the face she's showing him.
"You effin arse is confusing me! Are you really twenty one?" She asked.
"Yes! I am twenty one and April 7th is my birthday, don't forget that," William answered her.
Brieanna stopped glaring at him and thought about his birthday. She knows someone who has the same birthday as him.
Then a lightbulb just crossed her mind, it's her childhood best friend! It's Jane's birthday! Upon remembering that, she also recalled what happened to her... Effie is Jane's older brother. The bastard who-
"Hey! You okay?" William snapped Brieanna back to reality. "You spaced out on me."
Brieanna blinked for a couple of seconds and then met William's eyes. "Uhm, yeah. I am okay. I uh..." she looked away and acted unsettled.
Based on the way she looks, she had recalled something terrible. So William cupped her face all a sudden.
Brieanna was surprise and doesn't quite know why he did that. She froze and gazed at his ocean eyes. She saw him smile at her and she tried but she just can't move.
"I'm here for you, so you shouldn't be afraid of nothing at all," he muttered while staring intensely at her eyes. "You look the cutest when you always let me save you."
Hearing that just made Brieanna's heart beating super fast. Her eyes widened as well. The longer she stares at those ocean eyes, the faster her heart beat. It's like she's going to drown-no! She can't!
Brieanna shifted her gaze at the side, she wants to avoid him. His stare is so intense it's like taking her soul.
William let go of her, he enjoyed doing that. He really likes the fact that he can make her feel saved. She makes him feel like a knight that will save her in feeling so blue.
It was getting awkward and Brie cleared her throat.
"Do you want to eat outside? Eat some street foods at the night market. You haven't been there, I assume." William hopes that she hasn't. It will be great if he'd be the one to show her around.
"Nope... I-uh haven't," she answered while shaking her head slightly.
William grinned hearing her response. He stood up and gave her a hand. Once she took it, he pulled her up. He didn't want to let go of her hand so he just hold on to it while dragging her outside.
At the night market, Brieanna felt like she's in a magical paradise again. The lights are too uplifting! It's really making her happy! Look up and you'll see lanterns and surrounding her were warm fairy lights.
"Here," William said, handing her a plastic cup full of fish balls. He also gave her a barbecue stick to pin the fishballs.
Brieanna smiled and said, "thanks".
They both just sat down at the water fountain, eating and enjoying each other's presence in the crowd. And then Brie accidentally glanced at William. Her glanced then turned to a stare.
It has only been a day with him yet she feels like she has known him all her life. She sees Kirby in him yet William still glows as himself. Fred should be the one doing what Will is doing... but then he chose to give up on her. You can't force someone to do things for you. Forcing something is self wrecking.
Brieanna looked down as she realized that she's being all down again. She has to think positive!
"Forget Fred Brie! He isn't worth it!" She mumbled to herself.
William secretly smiled to himself as he saw what she did. Brieanna can be really funny and too cute, he thought.
"Do you want some drinks?" He asked her.
"Huh?"
Yep! He knows she was talking to herself again and escaped reality. "Do you want some drinks?" He asked again.
"Uhm... yeah. A bottle of water will be great," she answered.
"Water? Don't you drink soda?"
"Uhm... sometimes but for now, I just want water."
Will took one last look at her and then he turned and walk towards a stall.
"Two bottle of water, 350 ml," Will told the vendor.
"Here," the vendor said handing him the two bottles. He took out money and paid him.
"Thanks," Will said before leaving.
He was on his way back when he remembers the bracelet. Shoot! He almost forgot about that. He strides towards the stall of that guy who has tattoos.
"Hey! Damn! I'm sorry it took me long," he said reaching the tattoo guy's place. He was still catching his breath for he ran in the middle of the way.
"I thought you weren't going to come anymore," the guy calmly said and then smiled at him. "So where is she?"
"Ah she's at the water fountain. She really liked the night market," William answered.
"That's good to hear," the big guy said and touched his beard. "I have few concerns about your sketch. I suggest you put names under, also I have luminous powder. I sprinkle some on the carving so the words glow in the dark. It wont fade as I had varnished it."
"That's really pretty cool," William remarked as he watch the guy take a box.
The stall owner opened the box and took out the bracelets. He turned off the light and William was amazed at the outcome.
"Woah! That's really not what I expect, it's damn great!" He commended.
"So, should I carve the names?" The guy asked.
"My name is William, that's W-I-L-L-I-A-M and her name is Brieanna, that's B-"
"Just write it down," the guy said as he gave him a pen and paper. He took it and started writing their names.
"I'm Jaimé and that's J-A-I-M-É with e having an accent," Jaimé (pronounced as Haymey) introduced his self.
"Nice meeting you," William said and gave the paper.
As he wait for the carving to finish, he looked around at Jaimé's stall. He's so talented yet so underrated. People nowadays are so blind, appreciating what's only beautiful by popularity and not by beauty itself.
"Here they are," Jaimé said and handed William the bracelets.
"They look really great. Thanks man!" William was really amazed by his work.
After paying for the bracelets he went back to her. As soon as she was in view, he wanted to run towards her and give her the bracelets but then seeing that expression on Brieanna's face... he needed to capture that.
William took out his phone and then focused the camera on her. She was smiling so bright looking up to the lanterns while holding her plastic cup and stick. He put down his phone as he was done, then he continued to stare at her innocent smiles.
Damn! His heart is pounding so damn fast!

"Took you long to get some drinks," Brieanna said, eyes narrowed at William. Being all alone and waiting in a crowded place isn't her favorite at all. "Sorry, I was caught on something," he replied, sitting beside her and handing her the water bottle. "You look like you were enjoying the lanterns though." "Yeah, they do look nice. They seem to light up everything in this night market." "I bet it makes your heart melt." Does it? Well it kind of, she thought. She was used to dark places. The ones that she can think clearly while the soft breeze touches her face or the ones that makes her lonely is her favorite. Something like this feels new to her since it has been a while.

It was time to be on her own. Brieanna took a deep breath and blew it out. Yes, she met everyone already and they all seemed nice but it's a job. It all starts nice.As she enters the kitchen again she keeps a nervous smile, nibbling her lower lip as she makes her way to the big sink. She was not alone, she will be closely working with a married woman in her 30s or so, named Veron."It's okay to get all shaky and slow at first," Veron tells her. "I used to think I'll break every plate here. I ended up my first shift with five expensive plates broken."That does not help her at all. If she breaks a costly plate, that is probably going to cost her five days of working. She should be extra careful.And so Veron taught her everything she needed to know. She was also told not to throw every left overs. Veron told her to segregate it, from the foods that should go directly to waste and the meats and rice they can feed stray animals."Wow, the

Dinner was quiet and after it William waited for Brieanna to finish washing the dishes. He already prepared a contract and the rules they needed to abide in his house. When she finally finished, she gaze down the papers as she sits in front of him. "What are these for?" she asked him. "I forgot to give you the work contract and this on my right are the few rules I would like you to follow. Also if there are things you want me to follow you should list it so we can talk about it." Brieanna looked at the contract first, reading it as if she understands. Then she took a glimpse at William and to the pen he prepared. She reached for it and signed the contract. "Didn't take you the exact time to read it," he uttered. "Well if I did, I would still not understand all of it," she told him, putting the the contract and taking the rules. The first rule was not to enter the room that is not yours and never enter nor open t

Finally, Brieanna's shift has come to its end. She has done a terrible work today and she earn herself a cut from the knife earlier too. As she walks out of the resort, she decided not to go home early. There was nothing to do there, she will just get bored laying and gazing at her ceiling. So, she starting wandering around the town. The town is sure a livelier place at night than at morning. Vendors were busy putting up their stalls at the moment, the street foods were already set up and tourists like she once was were busy taking pictures everywhere. Her stuffs crossed her mind. Should she go dive in the water and retrieve her stuffs? She's sure there were no damage to them since she sealed it with plastic. Problem is, she will probably run out of air before getting to the bottom. Brieanna deeply sighed. If only that cold William didn't save her she wouldn't be in this town, thinking about how to live. "Ano... excuse me." When sh

Brieanna stared at William's hand. Has anyone ever reached their hands for her to take, like this stranger in front of her? Has anyone ever waited for her to catch up to them? She slowly raised her head and saw how desperate he was. "Why are you so eager to save me?" "Because you haven't seen the best in life yet, Brie. You've only seen the dark side of it. You can't tell the devils nor the angels that you've seen everything down here when you're just exploring one side," he replied. "Please, Brie. Let's go home." They stayed staring at each other as if the cold didn't bother them both. She sees it. The way her eyes are when she looks at the mirror. His ocean blue eyes were the same as her hazel ones. Dull. Finally, she turned her body around and got off the parapet. She placed her hand on his and he pulled her into a hug that made her eyes wide. "Damn you, Brie! Don't make me hold my breath like that again!" He was breathing heavily, ti

Richard and Willaim were glaring at each other for the longest time. Brieanna feeling uneasy with their atmosphere. She should say something! "Uhm..." "I didn't mean to intrude, bro. I thought she was single," Richard said. "I am--" "She is but she isn't here to date anyone." Okay, they were not allowing her to speak and William is just repeating what she said to him when she was new here. Dang, she's really that cold to him. Richard glances at her and she kept a thin smile which made his mouth turned up. She gaze at William and she instantly look down. His face was darn scary she swore she's going to die later. "Well, I have to get going. Nice meeting you uhm--" "William," he coolly said. Richard nods and turned to her, displaying a lopsided smile. "I'll see you around, Brieanna." If she could just pull Richard and let him stay talking to William while she makes an escape then

Today, Brieanna celebrates her day off. Like what William and her talked about, surfing is part of today's agenda. She didn't want people to laugh at her so they decided not to practice at the public beach and just do it outside their house. An hour since they started catching waves and Brieanna had caught none at all. William kept going on with her duck diving and to paddle and paddle which she was not prepared even though they warmed up. The duck diving was really dreadful for her. Her board just doesn't go down no matter how much she tries. "I need a break!" she yells, panting. When she got to the shore, she just went and lay on the sand. She's pretty bad at it. The waves aren't even that big but her feet keeps getting swept off and she ends up falling before she could even stand. "It's your first day. You can get better," William said, sitting right next to her. "You totally flop though," he added, laughing softly which made her throw a dirt

Brieanna just closed the door behind her. William and her just finished talking about him leaving for work. Two days and three nights and he leaves tomorrow. That means she's going to be alone! What if some bad guys decided to play a prank? At dinner, she was all quiet again, thinking about being alone in a place like this house with no neighbors. She might die before even a rescue comes her way. "Are you upset because I'm leaving so suddenly?" She stopped slicing her meat and looked at William. "Nope. I'm just worried that people might play a prank on me while you're away." "Hmm... you can come with me if you--" "Nope! I am not fond of parties and busy people's businesses. Plus I have work. I am aiming a promotion to be a waitress." William then laughed at her determination but even so he keeps a concern face. "Also, I think I made friends with a lady earlier. Her name is Evie and she j

A year since that day I ran away from home and decided to die on an island. I had the perfect idea of the perfect death. It was not unsuccessful. In fact, the lost soul, Brieanna died and is still submerged down the ocean floor. I never retrieved my backpack, it's my grave. Today, I am just with my surfboard, staring at the vast horizon, a golden one. The sun was setting beautifully like that day when I decided it was my last day on earth. It's majestic. The only difference was right now, the waves are crashing into my feet and I was not at a high place and I want to live. A corner of my mouth lifted when I saw the wave I wanted. I ran towards and embraced the ocean, not minding if it was cold or warm. I dived. With my chest on my board, I paddled to the lineup, my take-off zone. I waited and when I saw the wave I want, I chased it, ride it the way I would enjoy. With a grin on my face, I hop on my surfboard again. When I glanced at the shore, there I s
Two Lost Souls Finale
Florainne's birthday finally comes and Brieanna could not be more happy. The past few days since she came here have been really intense. Yes, Viola never asked her to leave nor was she offered money. But seriously, every now and then, Viola would indirectly tell her to leave the mansion, leave her children and leave them be! Oh if she could just leave without Florainne getting angry at her, and if the mansion was not so far away from the exit, oh dirt! She would have left already! Every time when Brieanna and Viola get to be alone, the demon in Viola comes out. Earlier this morning at breakfast, they had greeted Florainne with a happy birthday. They all looked like a happy family but Viola and Miller were not okay and so was Viola with everyone. It also looks like Viola is aware but she just would not care. Today is a busy day since all the preparations and the decor needs to be done before six in the evening because that is when the guests wou

Their plane just landed and Brieanna's legs felt like they have lost their strength. All the time she spent on the flight was her praying and hoping William's parents won't eat her alive. As they walk out of the airport, Brieanna was heading towards the line up for taxi when William grab her arm, pulling her towards the other direction. When she face ahead, her eyes widened at the Batmobile limo. "Are we r-really riding that?" "Though it's old, yes we are," he replied, flashing her a smile. A middle-aged man greeted them, opening the door for them. Of course, William let her enter first because he is a gentleman. The inside smelt expensive and she isn't comfortable at all. "Why can't we just ride a taxi instead?" "There's no taxi going to our house. They are just not allowed there." "So that means if I want to run away, I would need to run a couple of meters away to get a taxi?" "I wouldn't use '

It has been a week since Florainne and Ashton's visit came to an end. Now that Florainne's birthday party was coming, Brieanna could not focus on her work and neither could she on surfing. She has been telling Evie that she's really nervous and whenever she thinks of it her heart would not stop pounding. "Can we just move our flight, William? Make it like the very night of the party?" "Nope, I already booked the flight. It's tomorrow, Brie." William gave her a thin smile. "It'll be alright. Viola is the only enemy at the house. I'm sure father and you will get along like how you got along with Flora." "But Rain is a sweet girl! Your father is your father! He is a man!" She groans, rolling her eyes as she sits abruptly on the chair. "They are your parents!" Now she remembers how she was close with her parents too. Her parents were awesome until that accident had to take it all from her. It's just sad. Suddenly she felt William wrap

William woke up with the indistinct chatter he is hearing. And when he opened his eyes, he groaned because of the sunlight hitting his eyes. Damn it! His head is throbbing! Slowly, he sits up, his eyes still closed. Then he hears laughter from outside that made his brows draw together. One was sure Brieanna's but the other sounds like Florainne. To be sure, he got off his bed but once he did he felt dizzy that made him pause touching his forehead. After a while when the spinning stops, he continues to walk. When he was out of his door his eyes widened at the sight of Ashton just coming out of the other room. The young man immediately bowed his head down to him. "Master William, good morning!" If Ashton is here then he was not wrong when he thought he heard Flora's voice. But how would they know this place? "When did you--" "Yesterday, master William. Miss Brieanna came running to the resort to greet Miss Florainne," Ashton explains. "S

The room Florainne chose really shocked Brieanna that she 'eh' loudly. Why would William's sister want to sleep with her? Does she plan to kill her in her sleep? Since it has been decided, the young butler Ashton moved Florainne's luggage to Brieanna's room. Then after that, he left them to put his things in his room, telling the little missy that if she needed anything just knock on his door. Wow! Brieanna didn't think personal butlers still exist. "I search this up and the internet says I will be closer to you if I sleep with you," Florainne suddenly explained. Now that she said that, Brieanna gets it. "But why would you want to be closer to me?" "You are William's girlfriend, aren't you Miss Brieanna?" "Oh! Yes!" she chuckles nervously. "And yo-you can drop the 'miss'. You can call me sister too if you like. I think that would be cute." "A sister..." Florainne whispers, moving towards the bed and sit

Brieanna just got out of the shower when she hears a loud bang outside. Startled by that noise, she immediately walk towards her door, opening it and sticking her head out. Then she saw William's door open which made her frown. "William!" She calls but there was no answer. Slowly, she steps out of her room with only her towel around her naked body. Brieanna went past the living room and saw everything was fine. But what was the loud shutting of the door? Did William just storm out without saying anything? Was there an emergency? So, she went back and in front of her room, she suddenly faced William's open room again. With curiosity in her mind, she stepped inside his room. Nothing was a mess except for the towel on his bed. "Maybe there was just some emergency at the resort," she mumbles, shrugging as she turns around. Just as she was about to step away, she hears a ringing which made her turn around. Then she saw

After spending three days in the City, the four of them together with Mochi returned to the Island at last. Now that they are finally back, Brieanna was better than when she left. When they got home, she immediately went out to surf. Oh, how she missed the cold water, the warm sun, and the waves! She feels really alive to be back here again, no worries in her head, no more heavy burden. As soon as she sees her wave, she chased it, ride it before it broke and dissolves entirely. Just after some minutes, she sees William with his board, paddling towards her who just finished riding one. Her prince coming to meet her in paradise. "You are getting better and better. The way you snap and turn, it's sure a unique one," William commented that made her smile. Even she is aware that she has improved a lot. "I don't know how I did that. I just know it's kind of the right time to do that. I think it worked." "It did work." "I spent al

Around six in the evening when the four of them gathered inside William's hotel room. What Brieanna did to cover up her love bite is put some plaster strips there, saying Mochi had accidentally scratched her. Evie seemed to believe it which relieved her. If Evie believes it so will the rest of her family. "So, what did you guys do?" Richard suddenly asked them that flustered Brieanna. "We went somewhere to get some hot and spicy ramen," William answered. Although he lied, it saved both of them. "There's a ramen place here? We should all go there together before we leave!" "We are having dinner at Brieanna's place! Don't be stupid, point one! We'd be full by then!" "Oh yeah, I forgot to ask what time the dinner was." She took out her phone from her pocket and texted Kendal. Just some seconds later, she got a reply that says eight. Judging from the hotel's location, they should go around seven twenty-five since for sure they'll be spending
