"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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6t3YFjxNc
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXLKAUrfJw
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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4DzEVubx7
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qhSZlDPpK
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7e6NDMX7
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNiVipKxVw
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEgykWavlq
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1qQADE9dy
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo3NXKPp6I
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiF48uWbZO
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4gB1XAW4I
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5CJyAqNaS
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kf9diTvCo
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvXx97gLiZ
Or he might actually return my..905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtB0UkZbCI
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE23ZJUC4u
Or he might actually not. Never. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV0HlK14E0
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lNvpw1qeL
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0RNkodGFy
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGNxyphcr2
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKojfxYz5zb
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCHGRhsy9i
"Kiara."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSmvjBqI4P
"Hey Hazel!"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBn6m2lYGj
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lYUfUr0Zb
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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXJm7Hzn83
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CPwAFSaMO
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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8M25FegrF
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbYMg1JCcm
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYx0pKv4XK
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSclqPBZ4Fi
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p2kP6w0ok
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd67ZNPD3w
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 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwra5yUiNyX
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ311WqdE0IE
bought shoes, as a decoration. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BYtRTBfDw
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhXHkDgZJy
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHreTJ8Sz
"What's your excuse?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7NlZYoNyE
"That you aren't coming home?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCNvD1VKiy
"Where's the excuse in there?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXrfaROOSg
"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?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMGBfJH3ig
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZECKCgjGpf
"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-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpkPBmuTiF
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALN8tTyRod
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpys2wNALQp
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk9nUOYDMU
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQv9WhN8Dt
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ896QtqmJ
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nYFjM0ka8
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RnGllJGIZ
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4VEyzn6zt
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBlRHJOj46
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKS7rUU9lq
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotmTcNBuzw
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0zdOcRfSQ
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7bXh0BqsF
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV914mChRf
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZrgfzmIjh
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwQMrGXbBU
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD62i6wMMoK
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcs3tSmSf7
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC8qmR9Qq3
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ggVrwsGwZ
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLoQt9PXcc
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWTS3x3TVF
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7z9ncie7a
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLf3ZFWlFF
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RSeZWG3aB
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiIYVnrPkE
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBmy161OT4
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBWBv0hccA
"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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRB9UiNGIQ
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsxXme5WhZ
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFlo80Mgvo
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvaMA6cMkb
"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-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiTq0T4hHE
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cpla8Sthz
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEYJWv6RLj
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytqB6bqB0U
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xoO0LUWjl
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy23tqPe79H
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72aNy7HEHE
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE3ZFTmbzx
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIwsULM2Te
"She's cute in her own way."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkNlrzMU9W
"She takes after me."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyMWdx3Dlz
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD3WPsfWWI
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6PNqlliTc
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53wqgwYMOE
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFXR8I1F8M
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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIauPMB7Lp
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeo5Uzaip4
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43mJgtJXbj
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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk9EMtS0tU
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUebDIIGtg2
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXtpmJ6dWZ
"Yes! Your cologne-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjOIpanBFt
"Check."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2utH1TtkvQ
"Your wallet?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt19BdIs0H
"In my car. Check."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQcnufkRr5
"Your other wallet?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlcAYO9huV
"Inside my back pocket. Check."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJ5NOPUd8
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rOOKgDE1L
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISyzosKXJA
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0NnCJz5cd
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKSnW2lZFc
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkCeOyhn9I
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2HPl1ztWP
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjA0nMiz8a
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl55IjhEHUC
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l8WzfETPx
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZr2CRgl6h
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6NkXdmIja
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vi3qJ3hxe
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI9DoA4MXH
"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?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRySqtORavu
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLwkg6T6J0
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8zKbfn1Ey
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEounroXbdk
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-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKIOeAqIRR
"I don't wear panties-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM55X7AiMHl
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf6lTxBBnz
And he did. But failed yet again.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93HMU6fdTB
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRsSbz3yoq
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvai0QWZxdY
"_"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ROuWVjun
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3xoI3y4Ye
"_"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCZrdJBpwh
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSOf8VHzcL
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTPSSAn8rD
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz10C73P5P7
"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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8alZZcT8hQ
"I will try to make the best out of it."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmthkr4hIi
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLvzBY1ql6
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdnrfP1Jq3
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?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvROSDBqGqY
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVqMrlhVK
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHUPqtzqGe
"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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkydVsbXLfl
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoubkR7375
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv63V8grCES
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYnqybAvv
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfpSQ03jC5
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-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGufz6sLDoh
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpSaJn73Am
I froze in my place. "Who says-"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODwkVvgpM3
"Hazel."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtmS8FbsBT
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOX5sN1Du3
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YwQWeu6pv
"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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxb90iBkbd
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."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOMZJj5bQB
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjG8VS7OM1
"Just as you're not just any employee."905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVhrAuM2XI
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfYNVDHAH4
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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs3ASnNCSs
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. 905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg8gYOgaMB
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.
