"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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNBsXacIoz
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ000WVTq467
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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE78VSMjeY
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCQGmbTZLb
870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlQHAn93yc
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD78pPUaWun
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nUGr32XE
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz04Cm3vWm
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTEQMsPb48
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPxQvokI7c
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvXY5fZ8rW
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwdqx1Waue
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywp0z92Q6x
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXrBGny372
Or he might actually return my..870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibflWw21UD
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezOYX7hg8X
Or he might actually not. Never. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlps1uR9lm
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIPk5WMdfa
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo6TpZLvIv
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDddDj5YIHC
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPnvCpCbPE
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXSfSR1kEx
"Kiara."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9PYvUcOJ9
"Hey Hazel!"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wuu6jIvkk
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYYkeylVd1
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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WC4cteiUF
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBgWUvcdch
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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI8nFQQh13
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzBAzSq9wh
870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cqHTMFB9r
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgZIbHre8l
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dnfcXJqt0
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfll0n1z1i
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 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIRRvs6HOW
870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UCv3c96lg
bought shoes, as a decoration. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JjfayOG8c
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBFB2ItYaE
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeXuVVNt3F
"What's your excuse?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLBJSJUme5
"That you aren't coming home?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvlSdMrTIq
"Where's the excuse in there?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi2zuz4IoH
"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?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMt0ytY0XF
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz97cAIQb0p
"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-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaDMm9HFKg
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEt9vw7ie7
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRZ68Lxonh
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN4EQRYVgt
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtHysSPKzG
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCy8BaEyj
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeOHML3MZW
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFV1wSBkah
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrxpcetSyr
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytywqnDyGs
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeweyGGpCK
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsqXceScaW
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxfw4PAHrP
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqaoYLYcxF
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToAja0P3Uf
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA70I3sT5CN
870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyMwimema8
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vRpcQVUnm
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqWb1GAhYs
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9x1jZgbVs
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NAHzPzC44
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4SHKUw6xG
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI0CDYG34t
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzvJS6ib6r
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXM0ZXNqZi
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCCiwqaRwE
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaJD0BhFc8
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmOWCD30eP
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEN5cRywEW
"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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFQN9W7M3F
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXavCZYcAwV
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO1B0eJtfi
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR55gck5Wo
"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-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm0SxfZIZq
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcqbqnzrCo
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHfGFx4enl
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruxoYBVbMY
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8kqHROsED
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBp5VVzJh9
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFvH1uZ3vM
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jzRmnR5It
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltVjTJungd
"She's cute in her own way."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrE37fX3ub
"She takes after me."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlKB87IrZY
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiNRB468nF
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhfl179zaG
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAvmyTCFXZ
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBxxjW00iX
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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMJJEe8eo4
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszQSCyirt4
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO6H5JxVPZ
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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6by8OkaeMp
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZNZPng8Mx
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFdruCOBa1
"Yes! Your cologne-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWCppWAhVM
"Check."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUspQriL9R
"Your wallet?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBihzzPJWlQ
"In my car. Check."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAeS0WhY4C
"Your other wallet?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIusMpsuV5
"Inside my back pocket. Check."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMkmr9E6bm
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lQfAmboNn
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNcYp8VI74
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOD1yNLSt
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb2odVWUoi
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKpzWkhVKb
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14OGMf77Ez
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAkW1jaukJ
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIIr7JA9Qx
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarIibI6yY6
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZbWOGcHsJ
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFhrw1TaYp
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwyTqyb5QL
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwaFZFimQ
"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?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok3CbTIyiu
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AMdKmDXjR
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpx1ZAYRUM
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJMPWSWhSP
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-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg60lDFXSt
"I don't wear panties-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIrmV4JJ1K
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhp5irFDzM
And he did. But failed yet again.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2KgNcOKCA
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVF87usCJy
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6wKYaC0UM
"_"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaV9G2OKL5
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVbSQFC2j6
"_"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagDjBgmg8E
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaJrK2dBoC
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqa2MvAivo
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSD0bjxY52
"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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M9j52Z5qK
"I will try to make the best out of it."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVZoPPwOWM
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jc5hjP8hA
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJL8uwjAqj
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?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4CJa1BtMf
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2z0qbjtkD
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIYvzGSg3W
"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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatncKXPxXa
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsddgiK8iDn
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88kH3i9ZvZ
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xshBpnVdq
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sKOeWyI8Q
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-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl7Eek5DyI
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpVDMiJqVT
I froze in my place. "Who says-"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgBGdyXA35
"Hazel."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNstwa7xk03
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMnkZlptvY
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBn62mlJgP
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrftaRQtaLR
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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekap9GltGY
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x8ltM7Aqf
"Just as you're not just any employee."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMlfxcFAnt
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDiegUOB6z
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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZVuB053tb
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. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvXQo2b50P
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.
