Morning sunlight streamed through the windows of the cozy dining room, casting a warm, welcoming glow. The breakfast table was set, and the atmosphere in the room was a mix of light-heartedness and a subtle undercurrent of unease. The family members were seated together, savoring their morning meal. Elena, her radiant smile lighting up her face, was engaged in a cheerful conversation with George. Both of them appeared content and in high spirits. However, one person at the table stood out in stark contrast to the general mirth – Shawn.Shawn, who usually contributed to the lively banter, sat there with a gloomy expression, the remnants of the previous night's painful encounter with Emma still haunting him. Her words, veiled in her eyes and filled with bitterness, had wounded him deeply. A cloud of distress loomed over him, and he couldn't shake off the sense of hurt that had settled in his heart.Elena, attentive as always, couldn't help but notice Shawn's somber mood. Her brows furro
A month passes downSkylar left for his concert last night and while he was at the airport he called Emma. He wanted his little sister's wishes and cheering and asked for her to show up if possible in his concerts. She didn't answer his call nor has she done anyone else's, since she left. It seems like she intentionally wanted to ignore everyone and she did that phenomenally. She even transferred herself there to complete her last semester thinking it's the only option to stay at peace.But the moment Skylar landed in his first destination Philadelphia and reached his hotel room. His phone chimed with a voice note from Emma's side and he smiled. "I know you think of me as your lucky charm and adore me like your little sister. And trust me I do look up at you like a big big brother as well. Even if you hadn't asked me, I would have showed up. But it's a surprise as I need to check my schedule. Love you Skylar and my best wishes are with you. Hoping to see you soon!", She chirps.Tears
Shawn was not supposed to arrive at Skylar's concert but seeing him sad when he video called him in the morning made him fly here. While coming he also heard Shane say to Skylar that maybe Emma would show up today if she didn't come to other concerts. As she never backs down from her promises and also Skylar is her priority. And his eyes sparkled bright hearing her name with a hope of having a glance of her made his heart excited.Taking an urgent flight he left for Chicago and as his eyes looked down at the sky after the plane took off he got lost in a few things. He was about to surprise Skylar as well but their mom revealed it to Skylar and the moment he reached the airport he got a call from him. "Brother… Why did you come here? You know nah I hate it when someone leaves their work and you are so busy. Why did you?", he complains."Shhh…. I'm not neglecting my work. And for me nothing is more important than my family. I'm sorry that I couldn't attend your concerts but thankfully I
Days interval ---A few days had passed since Emma's return from Skylar's concert. She had confined herself to her new house, seated by the edge of a tranquil pool, where the sparkling water shimmered in the warm Italian sun. She couldn't help but feel a pang of homesickness, her eyes reflecting the longing in her gaze. Her usual vibrant spirit seemed to have dimmed, replaced by a hint of melancholy.Barely eating for the past few days, she finally gave in to her feelings of loneliness and isolation, prompting her to reach out to Shane. He had every right to be angry with her, but her messages compelled him to respond. Her first message read, "I miss you," to which he replied curtly, "Why did you leave then?" She responded, "Because I needed that. But I promise to come back soon and then never leave you again."Shane couldn't help but smile brightly after reading her words, and she bid him bye after a small conversation carried over. She sat near the pool of her small wooden villa, whi
Shawn's POVFrom the day she left I was in a dilemma trying to figure out what she left for. Was she so pissed at me that she decided to leave? But for what? What wrong did I do? But then.. she mentioned a course? What's the truth?My head was pounding hard while my heart was beating fast and furiously. Why did you leave Emma? Why did you leave your Shawn- the dickhead alone?A lone tear escaped my eyes as I recall that night when I saw her. Her radiating face left its stamp on my heart again making it flutter even with her thoughts. Her fresh fruity smell indicating she changed her body wash and shampoo didn't make me less a fan of hers. Instead it made my urge to hold her closer get stronger.Ughh… I can't live without her!! Not now at least after I saw her that day looking scared, weak and damped. She didn't look fierce and spicy like before, making me disturbed again and again. And the list doesn't end there because after seeing her in that dim lightning of parking lot it made me
Emma's POVMy world was blossomed as if it was spring seasons first arrival and like a cherry blossom I glowed bright being a mesmerising beauty, being all catchy eye and enchanting bliss. The way he held me close, kissed me passionately in hunger and thirst, carried madness in his body language while determination in eyes made my heart flutter. I was suddenly enlightened coming out of a big tunnel which seemed never ending and my vision was blessed with his sight. I never thought this man standing in a peach pink shirt and white pants looking drop dead gorgeous and alluring will come here to whip my heart and dissolve my vain. He would actually track me down looking as lost and disturbed as me, will fly till here and ask for a chance, for "US".Taking his engagement ring out he kept it near my feet and said, "I promise to make everything right, but before that just be mine. Blurr the world and focus on me, focus on 'US'."I sigh deeply as he says my heart out. Wiping the corner of my
Author's POVAfter that sweet and loving but also passionate and lustful event Emma changing into a two coloured tracksuit of baby pink & sea green blue stayed in the lounge. She was still recovering with the fresh memories of the incident while Shawn was on call explaining to George why he left again out of the blue. "Shawn… this is not done. Everytime you send your secretary to tell me you're out of town. Why do you never inform me? What do you do?", he asks sternly."I'm sorry George. But you know I have other personal businesses as well. And I'm mending with that. Please spare me this time, I'll try to inform you beforehand from next time", he says in an apologetic tone."Everytime you say the same shit and guess what you repeat it again", he says, getting irked and Shawn scratches the back of his neck. "Okay… forget it when are you coming back?", he asks and Shawn goes silent again."I knew you bastard had no plan to return soon", he grits. "You know what I'm changing the will w
Next morning Emma got awake in his arms and a smile spread on his face. She was happy to find her dream come true but there was still an unsettling feeling in her heart not making her able to accept it though she wanted to. Shrugging her thoughts she slowly tries to get out of his clutch. Her cheeks were already tinted pink as though it seemed like an illusion. It's beautiful for her. "Good morning Cuddly Bear", she says, caressing his hair lightly so he doesn't stirs."Whoa.. someone found a nickname as well", her subconscious teases her. "Yes of course. Only he can't be the one to give nicknames", she replies proudly and then giggles.She then stares at his face for a little longer taking in his features in her heart and mind with a longingness in her eyes. She missed this view of his handsomely killer face. "I'll be back soon.. sleep a little longer. Bye!", she says, pecking his forehead and going for a jog.It is 4:30 am now and after doing her morning chores she goes for a jog i
