"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.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUn8Ju1GBX
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2WClzt3Zz
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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E5b9q9g6g
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dL8zYn9Y8
951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IGeqHAdjz
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc3MXIek2n
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBpR4jeUoo
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR7OVlbJjZ
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mxTbZRg3Q
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrCFGGKwpa
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kes2VoRqd
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXMJq0SwEp
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kqa0uOec4
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ejOqIFDJr
Or he might actually return my..951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoU84Z6m6d
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfmHqvWwzn
Or he might actually not. Never. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo72iBuheMK
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIAUpW93jk
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm7mnxX6Pg
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgWm4mtgc1
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AnuP0RSkV
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbCfXqpsBT
"Kiara."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYK799QcXd
"Hey Hazel!"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDbmdMvGqa
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7S0PMYTCi
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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qjYahx5gR
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pt7hPNPYD
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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ6VcI3LEB
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1cLIq46pf
951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3xjnYFcMC
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C0nPof9Or
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBDhK4wmwP
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQKe5R48D7
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 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIbr2rsx97
951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagDFNH7WaX
bought shoes, as a decoration. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJjKUhi6s6
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnTmI3DHhL
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7dczfRJQM
"What's your excuse?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbdfwTUugL
"That you aren't coming home?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4vQ8kdA6
"Where's the excuse in there?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1MH9Y7pUN
"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?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXwx1v8elG
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaMt0d2tue
"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-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71MxJVijJR
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanRZF7MbQK
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oyTkjmjeo
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nWtMNSvzl
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu1xXF4Iim
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV2G0WDhjH
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8yXmOjHOX
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58fDo4bZZb
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO3ltLQdWv
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AWU4tHbaf
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiVofFPIrw
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9OkxqqhJm
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBPz2ICPtO
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVcML0NLQY
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWNyXN23Yf
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hkuLWrfqw
951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYSxuPICf9
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qmHqyc073
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxip4oTlEmI
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP6KrETUsD
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s3uUJ2zwu
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGng6SkqIrn
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL1KGoJqAR
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIWXxZZnGP
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyiZevm9uv
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFkUL14EPi
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfJj9SCtLt
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMrHpskuf2
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFL99NNXlu
"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.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfexudS7NLF
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAvZib7QCs
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjq6piDevT
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhotuhn2buQ
"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-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjOJJ2O7Zi
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssueWJzLzX
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBANz6jf3wF
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0s2ZpN5Pd
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXlC7cMody
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GP1Nc7XlV
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJdywZhKbq
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9KMgu0Pj8
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnbwrWXaoo
"She's cute in her own way."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10PnZc0JPB
"She takes after me."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59uiTSwZ7T
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Kbqk0Nv9
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RLP87ABQa
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3hyaizukj
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WIs46ivNE
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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiy5iBSrbe
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLIb3am77c
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCmeeqWv2A
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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUmP9r1TSx
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrY1MrxdGP
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KYsYbYFhO
"Yes! Your cologne-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bj9IS0VSa
"Check."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGRhnl8ysW
"Your wallet?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1glkwcLZsC
"In my car. Check."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA3RKL7TT2
"Your other wallet?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6w9xhpJyk
"Inside my back pocket. Check."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdLhjajuM
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahlVEvgLy4
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mjBycEFob
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNJXBd674Q
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C4300HXwP
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflatfNAbUt
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7TLOscbzJ
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoknWXD6oR7
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4923iCLWW
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9kLdcPS7u
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu5F5hBpOH
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmajTISQnov
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SNJUIQV8m
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRxt5bjaVt
"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?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QvENSHVR4
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5WlPhWTyz
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0A0V6pa2F
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2qqJ7631i
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-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe07k4KMCu1
"I don't wear panties-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsdFOD13vr
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaNh8xgTj6
And he did. But failed yet again.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU3gYaCDUH
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMflvZU7oi7
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkVQ6gAK6t
"_"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdYiDHga8m
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYZO2KToWX
"_"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDIllDnS4
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqO7UCY95X
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnMWjSdyCH
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC8bQNcCdW
"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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscqEPyclAE
"I will try to make the best out of it."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMsQ2o8BOu
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB8Ot41hAS
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHKWnFTiJA
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?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhpu9d5lNA
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wtrNJBwvj
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRb9LVIhbk
"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.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIql0uw6TSS
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWWgv4PNuI
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab7hCwRnMX
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe3l9rpWBV
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkqbMDOrI6
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-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8YUPNsYSH
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFj9HuTuXw
I froze in my place. "Who says-"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiYKImX076
"Hazel."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts7F7WPS8T
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1N5tgSMAh
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtzYIlC56V
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLyfnm3FtV
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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ebrfIviC3
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43OMMBMhVi
"Just as you're not just any employee."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhUAVDTIcu
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ykCcfPWRO
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.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EuBU2pIXX
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. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWgvnM5gvt
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.
