2024-10-29 19:42:56Brieanna 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

The next day Brieanna was running late for work. At the entrance like always, she meets Richard and she waves at him while he says hi to her. At the kitchen, her shoulders were really sore, she keep grunting every now and then. If she didn't need money she would have taken the day off. "You okay, honey?" Veron asked her, noticing how she keeps massaging her an arm after another. "Yes, I uhm... I was a bit hard on myself practicing how to surf. I paddled too much," she replied, flashing Veron a smile. "I have a lot to learn." "Take it easy. Just have fun with it." Brieanna nodded. She will take it easy from now on. Just let things fall on their places while she do the things she loves. Like learning how to surf, needing to catch every wave and not just wait for the perfect one. Every wave is perfect, sometimes it is just not for you to ride it. William was bored in his dad's office. He finished

Brieanna couldn't be more upset when she saw Dianne with her friends outside. They were giggling and she swore she wanted to darn punch each one of them. What on the hell could they be doing here? Inviting William to a party? "William's on a business trip," she coldly said, keeping a straight face. Ugh she just wants to punch this Dianne! "So if you were going to invite him you know he's away." She was about to close the door when a guy who's with Dianne put his foot on the doorway. She glares at him, raising a brow while the guy shows a lopsided smile. "Please get your dang foot. I swear I'm not going to hesitate closing it with force." "Oh come on, Brieanna. If William's not here. We can invite you." "I don't want to go. Now, can you please leave?" Dianne looked at her with an annoyed face and then to the guy like she was talking to him telepathically. Brieanna doesn't want the bullshit so she pushed the door but before it clos

At home, William decided to let Brieanna in his room. That way when he finish his work he knows she's just right there. His room was way bigger and his bed too. If she decides to roll around she can. But Brieanna was dancing while laughing, jumping like there's a loud beat there. And even when William tried to put her down, she wouldn't. She even beamed at him, pulling him for a dance. "I feel hot so suddenly," she tells him when she hugged William. "I feel really insane right now. I'm sorry." "I know," he muttered. "Just hang in there. You'll be fine with me." They look at each other, Brieanna's eyes asking him for help while she grins. Somehow it had taken William back to when he has these kind of eyes, when he was so lost. Nobody even tried to find him. "I'm sorry, Brie." Few hours passed and Brieanna appeared to be calm. She's not shouting and moving around anymore. The drug might be coolin

William plastered a lizard like smile when he saw Brieanna shut her eyes. He would love to kiss her but he doesn't want to when obviously there are secrets he is keeping. She doesn't know him well and he doesn't want her to regret ever kissing him. So, he raised his hand and flicked her forehead, chuckling softly. "William you jerk!" She yells, rubbing her forehead. And then she glares at him. That's the reaction he so wants to get every time he does it. He bet she doesn't know how much that makes him happy. "Are you feeling better now?" he asked, remaining how they are. Just laying on the bed, facing each other like it's a normal thing. "I don't remember what happened and how I ended here. Although I kind of had a dream about Dianne and her friends. Was that even true?" And he cleared his throat. "It was real." He watches as the glow left her face. "D-did I get--" "No! Richard called when I ju

"I was a drug addict, Brie." William looks at Brieanna and the look on her face didn't change. "Fed up with pleasing my parents, I am dumb enough to believe that Angel dust could fly you high enough to heaven. Obviously I was mistaken. I don't know how long I keep taking that until I just can't stop anymore. Then just one day I came home, I had no idea what had gotten into me. They said I dang choked my little sister, almost to death. It scared me so much, but I don't have the recollection of doing that." "Is that why you are here? To stay away from hurting them?" He took a glimpse of her and saw the sparkles in her eyes. No idea what her eyes were telling him. He nodded. "Yeah. I just don't have the courage to face my sister yet. She probably hates me now. Without a doubt, I bet she thinks of me as a killer, a monster who tried to take her life away." When Brieanna didn't say anything, he just wanted to leave the room. Just like she told

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
