"Don't trust just anyone blindly, Heath. You know not everyone wants your best.." I sighed in pleasure as his lips peppered kisses on my exposed throat, but remembering that he had a date with my sister tonight, almost immediately I pushed him aside roughly, his balance swaying for a minute before he hovered once again at me, this time keeping his right hand firmly on my chin, tilting my head to my side.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1myqThIwm
Once again, his lips found my neck, this time pressing wet kisses across my throbbing pulse. I gripped the bedsheets tightly with my hands, my fingernails pushing against each other, my eyes closing almost involuntarily at his ministrations. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyLHKy1XEh
His fingers stroked my cheek, rubbing his thumb pad lazily over my skin, light friction causing me to whimper in response. "If you think doing this will get you Kiara, then you're wrong, Heath. She'll hate it the moment you become dominating with her."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpfKXmAY1j
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAo2YQtorB
871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4OnFIKLK6
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnxOsRLe3k
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNTp4TCMOg
Blinking several times to sort out his confusion of what had actually come over him to make him do something like that, he looked hesitantly at me to see if he did any harm to me, and when he did look at me, I smiled a bit to ease his discomfort. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTAa3lSIr0
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DLoJRM0ZU
It happens sometimes, I supposed, due to nervousness and pressure of doing something for the first time. It wasn't like he went on dates every other day, with every other women of his choice. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUING4a1tNw
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkCAmEcgsf
Or atleast, that's what I tried to think to convince my stubborn self who was selfishly weaving some impossible reasons for his unjustifiable actions just minutes ago. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybS5bc18SU
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhKyzIcMjd
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfH16ncj2p
Or he might actually return my..871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDj8Om5taP
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR3v9HmPQv
Or he might actually not. Never. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeBjb8Wrzi
When I didn't reply to his statement, which I wasn't supposed to, he turned around fully to look at me and I slowly made my way back to reality, where wanting things was too much of a burden and ignoring them was an equally advisable solution to all the troubles. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwppSYG0Lt
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmEG8UCzRL
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvqNyyXdCy
"I know. It's just the alcohol speaking." I smiled at him. "And doing." I reasoned for him, knowing if he did it himself, he won't be able to reason for both of us. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyQLMDqn0a
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzbzaPREB
"Kiara."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDPoWBu4hY
"Hey Hazel!"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOnpIVho8b
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2seNaSXr80
She made her way to his apartment, her eyes glistening with mischief as she stood on the carpet floor and after making futile attempts to find, I presume Heath, she pouted adorably and turned towards me. "Where's he? I had been waiting for an hour, hoping he'd come on time to pick me up from home."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbovJ0rY9Au
I rolled my eyes at her lie. It wasn't even eight yet. She'd been too excited to meet with her date, as always was the case with her, with her other dates. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Rn1Sj4Wd
She gets carried away easily. I crossed my arms in front of my chest, half glaring at her in amusement when she raised her hands in defense."Okay, I lied. No surprise there. I just couldn't wait to be with Heath tonight."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgAnRcsWZu
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3rJIZYteS
871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLnOD1jdlS
after hearing her bold words, I again half-glared at her, knowing she had more to the truth, than what she'd been feeding me. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlgxI5T12L
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7uAW3zXVs
"Okay, actually Father wanted to see you so I searched your apartment, probably ended up eating half of your bite-sized sandwich, and yes, those almonds have to be imported stuff I'm telling ya with all those crunchiness and I liked the new shoes you'd been hiding inside your bed. That's it."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl784gU2Qb
Oh, so that's how she ended up searching the whole apartment for me, 'cause she actually thought I had the peanut sized brain cells to actually hide inside my bed, beside my newly 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6eKs03kW
871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTMafodIxP
bought shoes, as a decoration. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALJfBTS64T
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxid5fxQkIR
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54JG6ld4vY
"What's your excuse?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTyi9AHPBl
"That you aren't coming home?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiqmDCnUNw
"Where's the excuse in there?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYS9gwk6Tt
"I'm sure Father will conjure up some satisfactory excuses to convince himself of his defeat in your words, since he knows you won't admit defeat anytime soon?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiHNE6DR2p
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2hVUISyC7
"That's why I tell you to follow me on Instagram. But honestly, where's he? I don't see him in the kitchen? Are you sure he isn't rotting in some stray corner of his own house, being eaten by rodents-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1LRvCGOKB
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC8MjcFHQq
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooWGBSrVV2
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNONG9ivdw
"I'd rather have bundles of spinach. I'm not-" I pushed her outside the door, closed it with a loud shut on her face but not before shouting "Kiss some random guy on the street and I swear I'll take you to the salon to have all your hairs tailored out of your skull." with her loud response of "I dare you won't."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcYrXWgyEN
Rubbing my temples in sheer stress, I made my way to Heath's room only to find him leaning against the door of his room, his left leg against the wooden frame. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1866WHGXyb
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFWCeAu6Dw
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrSLcmBJ4w
Yes, Kiara was a year older than me. Or perhaps two, I didn't quite remember the year name of her birth, when my mother married her father. After all, the marriage didn't occur with my approval. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDBitYBG44
I was straightway against it. So against the ceremonial bond I was that I didn't go to my new home for a month to show my hostility towards my mother. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnuECrDWLl
I was so sure of supporting me and my mother that I didn't spare a glance at her new husband, and much to his annoyance, landed myself a job at one of the most renowned companies of New York. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfW3D4tOBl
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW4LWArq9r
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8zh0UoatA
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3maChhjq
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOevQlBmUl1
After minutes of efforts, he emerged out as fresh as ever, white shirt constricting against his hard features, pitch black necktie hanging loose around his open collar, which he took the liberty to tie deftly with his smooth calloused long fingers. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWs13bVWYB
871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7gtzm2FTi
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNPQF5NW4q
"Do you think this looks okay?" He asked, having suddenly decided to value my opinion about his appearance, and I narrowed my eyes seeing him actually wear black-tie with blue tux. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Y6Ks1MRM
Sighing, I moved forward, untied his tie, pulled it from around his collar, and after rummaging his closet for good four minutes, handed him the decent looking matching necktie. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbmU9eE9cR
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjFjAVdWg8
"But the black one I was wearing earlier actually came with the tux." He protested and I took it in myself to do the task for him. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWS1Hj0JJX
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJB6tLw8VH
My eyes narrowed when the ends of the tie got entangled with my fingers and I cursed softly under my breath hearing Heath chuckle at my predicament. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjQlgZY0a
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2WCuNXXZG
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvrzQ4DmQo
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Als5dd8EN
But considering it's been almost twenty-one years since that event, I decided it was only plausible that I didn't verse in this talent anymore. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQnFDggMJF
"Here." Heath put his hand over mine, clutching my fingers with his thumb and forefinger and directed me to his collar again, reopening the dislodged knot. "Do it like this." Fully grabbing my fingers now, he moved them over his, knotting the tie in perfectness but in the midst of the ordeal, I found myself staring at his handsome features instead. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjKHeegCCq
"And when you fold and slide this last piece over this hanging one." He looked at me to see if I was looking and coughed a little to show his presence.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpVfxDM0V1
I flushed in embarassment for slacking off in middle of such an important tutorial. He gripped my forefinger with his thumb, slid the last piece of cloth over the other hanging one and left my hand to let me do the rest. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxE8nbKVWv
Nodding to myself, I pressed my lips in thin line and pulled the cloth down, earning myself the perfect knot ever and immediately, tiny smile made its way to my sombre face. "It's perfect." I said, dusting the imaginary dust on his collar and licked my lips in nervousness to look up at him. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTz4sdafY1
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzghTeF4cdW
"Her favourite color are many, to be honest. Red, black, orange, yellow, white, purple, pink, sunny yellow, lemony yellow, sunflowery yellow, cauliflowery-yellow, candy-yellow-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClETpfvgka
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyDxjBDhW3
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YzK1vyE89
"She always has some shades of blue in her usual clothes, that's where I decided from that she must've this indescribably unknowingly obsession with the blue color and honestly, if you ask me, it's actually very sexy, in my opinion." I chirped at him when he stopped doing his hair and looked at me incredulously. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnVKYrkFsP
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwUq3JpICQ
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa28AUAS4D7
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIniVVbx3t
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmL3pYRBrw
"You worry too much, Heath. My sister is a fickle creature. And strangely gullible as well." I adjusted his handkerchief in his front pocket and pushed it slightly down before looking at him."Once I told her she was born out of bird shit as spores, she believed it almost readily as I fed her the lie. Sometimes I worry about my sister's sanity."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBSv0Lsq0z
"She's cute in her own way."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sAxDOphCg
"She takes after me."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhGSv9wy0y
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ySaCbzu2U
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FDxw3u3Vo
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRT7wOOCqw
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKrl8xJXvO
He scoffed at my words. "You two are polar opposites, I'm telling you. You're the Mercury and she's the Neptune of the solar system. You two are light years apart."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvbW3hLWHR
"Hey! You don't think I'm cute then?" I asked him, pushing my cheeks up with both of my hands, tilting my head to the side and pouting at him. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4B9xvOfCg
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFgtkTkdDF
Regaining my usual self, I rolled my eyes. "Of course, you're getting nauseous. Some galleons of beer you swallowed is gonna come out sooner or later. It'll only be a miracle if you don't end up spraying that half-digested coal of beer over your napkin."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hLxvdgU8b
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQmoQyIoOl
"That's for better. Now what else is left for you to be ready to depart, I wonder?" I put my forefinger on my lips, my eyes narrowing and searching for any thing I must have managed to miss. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUglJeryKc
"Yes! Your cologne-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpLxIBppLQ
"Check."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZgr6R2NLB
"Your wallet?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOhiSKdptH
"In my car. Check."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVDQzuzb17
"Your other wallet?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiriuMItlwT
"Inside my back pocket. Check."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx4rrqJNjg
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH02mmGWn9E
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZqIzoWFvq
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu1D1QJG7e
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YdKA6Nlz
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNCGcBPkSv
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBryE4224dB
"I think you're ready to go now. Hurry! It'll take you more than fifteen minutes to reach my home and pick Kiara. I wish she'd be ready by now, I swear sometimes she behaves like such a woman, in readying herself up for these dates."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRTUzjtHxa
Gently wrapping my arms around his own, I took him with me to the outside door where he once again checked at his reflection in the nearby kitchen rack mirror, in nervousness. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48eGsHTsou
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4BqAFsalv
Nevertheless, he adjusted his tie again and I smiled at his immaturity. "Here." I shoved a bouquet of freshly plucked red roses on his hands, wrapped beautifuly in a thin cellophane, with its end tied neatly in another red ribbon knot. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlxnjRVmsY
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEwzFQLVF7
"Yeah, roses are Scarlett but these I didn't buy for myself." I raised his arms to his pectoral level, making him take the bouquet like a gentleman and dusted the stray imaginary leaves away from the roses. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MCpUI1rLB
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ZNTRnaf9
"Imagine you're in your conference room, meeting your new dealers and employees and all you have to do is smile and wave it all off. Okay?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9X2SPYaFJ
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtlZS3X18b
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYl0GgqOr
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjtwjLJomZ
Unfortunately, it didn't come as satisfactorily as it did when he was doing it naturally. "You've to smile, Heath. Not frown. It's looking as if someone stole your panties on your first day to school-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kjBQ0uVir
"I don't wear panties-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcSt2OTEHD
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeHvkCjrxc
And he did. But failed yet again.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbiHdMvG4C
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad5j02rpCT
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwNxUDD7GF
"_"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUcMzjLghx
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFst5wlFPzz
"_"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjEt5RDLeM
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5du8KDotWC
"You're looking as if you just ate the lizard's fat ass in your dinner." I glanced at his too-much-of-haunting-pressure-in-my-panties smiling face again. "And her eggs too, maybe, perhaps."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqC7XcUst
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqfmio1SNy
"Heath! My sister is just an ordinary girl. She might have been born out of bird 's shit but she's far from being some angel, you know. She's as normal as a day and a night and you can just talk to her, casually, rudely, ok now maybe rudely, but nicely, cooly. Like a person. A male." I quirked my head to make my point clear. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0W2nnhRFC
"I will try to make the best out of it."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vHAWXElZl
"You've to. If you didn't, forget about ever having a better girl in future, as your wife, or as your life partner. She's the best you can have, think of it like this okay? All you have to do is sit comfortably by her side and be the partner of her chirpy talks, maybe participate in one or two, if you feel comfortable with her, that is."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgj9FuLdCo
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA6qrKIIot
I tried to ignore the sudden delicious skip of my heart at his words. "Would you rather have me as your date and dare I say, as your wife, then, Mr Evercrest?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r26VU6rdp
Immediately, I wanted to cover my mouth with my hands and take those words back in my mouth, but it was too late, I realised. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaodAN3Uk8m
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAH2mCpwjV
"I have this wonderful idea, Scarlett. Why don't you join me in my date? It'd be comfortable to have you around my side and you can direct me from there..." And he babbled the rest like a parrot while I mentally face-palmed myself thinking this guy was the same male who howls like a wolf in his company, ordering his employees like some Greek God, walking with such authority on the floor that it starts burning behind his next steps.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OZvC8yvMK
There he would never speak a useless word unless someone died in front of him, or was on the verge of dying and here, he had fully transformed into a huge evolution of parrot desecedents. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSytuPYuA3D
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMG53pmUHn
Surprisingly, he stopped babbling and looked at me. He scrutinized my body posture for some time and I fidgeted under his gaze, uncomfortably, swallowing the bile in my throat. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMriEv0LKrd
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLC1ncCTh
I mocked laugh at him. "I have perfectly fine relations with my sister, Heath. She can be salty as times but she is my sister-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxig4BEU6sz
"I didn't mean with your sister, Scarlett." He took long strides and suddenly, he was standing in front of me. "I meant, with me going on a date."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr4uSegnd3
I froze in my place. "Who says-"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzj6UCzaYC
"Hazel."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecRQ9Z9dJ3
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkZNSKngDs
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGi3IsgEk4
"I do." He cupped my chin with his both hands. "If you're worried I'm not good enough for your sister, then you can always view your thoughts out aloud, Scarlett. I won't mind."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nyt2ziKes
When I didn't say anything and looked down, he smiled and ruffled my hairs. "Before being my employee, you're a sister to someone. Just as before being your trusted employer, I'm the stranger going on a date with your sister."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGqRl7MCYc
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu72nsOM4h
"Just as you're not just any employee."871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisICk8WwbE
I heard him whisper before he left my side and before I could properly have a last look at him, he was gone from my view, the faint sound of door clicking shut as the sound of his departure. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2856hgT02
I rushed to the windows, fumbling with the shutter to open them hurriedly and peeked my head outside to see him starting the car and driving in between the streets. I stood beside the window, looking at him, tears pooling at the corner of my eyes.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4rFZU5xlX
Unconsciously, my fingers brushed against the spot on my neck, where he had kissed earlier, feeling the wetness of his lips still on my skin and I closed my eyes in overwhelming emotions. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoTlpMj7bg
Turning my gaze back on the road, I sighed loudly, seeing the faint blur of his car visible from the crowd, eventually disappearing later on among them.
