"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.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47IGar5MQi
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjON20T83AN
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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrWj5ook90
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPRnzOgE2G
869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VP8kf2Ofp
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vfu1tddsR
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX1JvC6yUV
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV0o3cLcjZ
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9nXD8Y04w
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK2X7tqPc7
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmx0tXDGYs
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo69hnAoFG
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGPf7D6wln
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRJoItziu
Or he might actually return my..869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexjQPr8V8B
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkqja6Uqy
Or he might actually not. Never. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa2pfQJLCS
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9LHgNhvTF
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTFueFsdL9
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw1OxGAnoZ
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxrdpAkEav
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhazjVFGAD
"Kiara."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal4JrIXWgd
"Hey Hazel!"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptPDHTPWD5
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqFdxGDXJb
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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PaHpAM22c
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUEoZMGjbx
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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9S7YjrDNU
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq2rxEkq7u
869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzjuYC1dLe
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsP3mII1Su
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfpoxSphPA
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxIHidMg9C
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 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLECZyzDBt
869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPoTaDF3a
bought shoes, as a decoration. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZgiQGFbEK
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sqlj60Lvs
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZiSLsswdg
"What's your excuse?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKqGmGbNhi
"That you aren't coming home?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAP8lwnzEx
"Where's the excuse in there?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38k6yu0Fq7
"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?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWL6FzYInC
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDK2fxCx5x
"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-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdzoCwJ18W
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiH9FdzNqt
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQLr1mAq0
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW6LZAb1Yy
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YDGK8eykN
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBL1mma6v2
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0r0G4ZE2l
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIQMpe2t9B
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINAOivrx8u
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDfaD75TUH
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Ewxh2lpi
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vylvm8FLS
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0B7NfIuS9
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHQr58Awbr
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QIK46f7yP
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMnWPWaKad
869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaU9x7GAqk
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD2EbBEld3
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ugTy7KCO
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hIpmoqDW1
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR1giSdWn3
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2xOXZ1XR7
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn48a62RwPH
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOXtPLCyrM
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE6tgRS7Zr
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwceaNw3hol
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvskOqK8B3r
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUWrj0esF
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkncOcPqSYb
"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.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6yPZVB0hr
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoJic0YsHP
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaDU2SQNo3
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyWHkIlEQb
"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-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r6x6IW2MK
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBAu2rJHRV
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMkW5GEQOw
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAraeDcKB7j
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71pqiropEq
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62YCKcGipR
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybhnPmToR5
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR55ocg4dV
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpeI31dNYX
"She's cute in her own way."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBFC5z9ghZ
"She takes after me."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeDPHVld9s
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1agt0GF5OD
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaop7VTvMXw
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfXlSLh2M
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyskoc6R5O6
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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R7PRqCyS5
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs3iCrlsKf
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi5MgUTqZM
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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtufAeAfJPR
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGEsp3vSPZ
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSkAIfyIQJ
"Yes! Your cologne-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZFM2vWutg
"Check."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcb2dnUCdY
"Your wallet?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQshIJQOqRs
"In my car. Check."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFG5bqzqGY
"Your other wallet?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDERqbPEoK
"Inside my back pocket. Check."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3YwA0zHhr
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LB7xnQD60
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh9FezynWb
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Su44DC3P
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf9VM39dhf
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqayTZCB4r
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1tGTiYCiZ
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3MOkGQ7pO
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp679GxDsXI
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQmwV8DKDp
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K6cj3flz0
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMZewV1DS9
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQdfTynis9
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc29g8Bcf9s
"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?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDY7UcVK3x
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuJGNvE3k2
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlPsWGg6DS
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KySMuFPV4
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-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdOOQ9ytNH
"I don't wear panties-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgLh4yQjus
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmjpvU0HGq
And he did. But failed yet again.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl1qopFs0k
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzseL5CtHk
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIuLk2jINJ
"_"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BIhMVP5tT
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoGDagVHuv
"_"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXVSJ8T85Q
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mXoIQxbeK
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQwWqhugwJ
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECfgzP487H
"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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g4v8Rr4T6
"I will try to make the best out of it."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OCk4fcNhr
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8rkeSTWQN
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAgYP1lemC
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?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQszVq87F
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M7PPbN6Cf
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW3xeFrIy1
"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.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwTJMGpGp4
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQAtOxc5b9
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN10tD7aRHM
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiafPmytwJj
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrjRmfagzk
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-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4Uv7Q2JH
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrXQFpTHRu
I froze in my place. "Who says-"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuWpV3GXVl
"Hazel."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkiFQhjDyL
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6i7OPrnxP
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouFYchmyW3
"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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT74q6Ll6b
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."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYktZngfze
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTyFFDzew5
"Just as you're not just any employee."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2YfWLlDfp
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkjd51No2e
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.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWewj5sUXf
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. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XDaZhZi3K
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.
