"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.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjHU2urcsq
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4IUVhLVSq
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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbY8eLDtOt
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtjHkQ9AQi
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYoe6pa0eS
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnaoqBt1eB
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilJrkOVViF
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVugHlN6c0J
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHmEhvhJuK
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcea2C3r38
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06I3K9NYA7
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWEagqisSv
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9m1XIptpx
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzavEFlOEdz
Or he might actually return my..950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltfmMymc28
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYqDRcyedF
Or he might actually not. Never. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxhTf0mA4R
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2jSPBlt7M
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy10U6AZ6l4
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ULKyyx7z
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXT3TvXboN
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR8E0ImWWN
"Kiara."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEzZ35vgKE
"Hey Hazel!"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw4MsCg6xc
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRpUJp35o
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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUkK1PmuPe
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV1SlMR8W2
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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvGVjYetds
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54I02RCE7S
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfZK2fuHnQ
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWCG1y0eop
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBADxJx43lJ
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUYKvDxcY8
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 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXKHmGitZW
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUBuuauZxI
bought shoes, as a decoration. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgwc4IgbDa
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP58eyeJzsL
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcP36SIhuw
"What's your excuse?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuZxQR4BNZ
"That you aren't coming home?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYmxlmKGVK
"Where's the excuse in there?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz1ni55nEe
"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?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy273mbabSQ
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fAGtqlW8m
"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-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s67CaMXoC
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmXIT3zl51
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk0PFCuqZw
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXr7K8qI6
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiqFOQKmNr
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLiq3rmcuh
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgvdNVv0sy
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUvR8U7FR2
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7gRZeC0C8
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95yS5MuGcd
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1ACxp6PK
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hQ8ilwCu4
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Bqap0519
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IlXWKzR7a
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxjqvzULmk
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYApmcKGnSW
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqgk2Tj5Ld
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT2UuwawD9
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5R6346hFa
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUCOXLQ2gF
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt0pJvt0t3
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaz1VPoS7u
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsmA3lZmzd
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo8S05qTqT
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RmOSA9t9C
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV1vgDWpOh
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EdLB00A9E
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1oUoGY2Y5
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNeurFvIYL
"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.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJjekc8zqu
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzecPRZDWaj
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVNkBWgQu6
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTTij3nyrR
"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-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySx3ynsUIp
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tyc5M2HCR
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep5M9oExnQ
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XC7jPiusH
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyrjxBqxDd
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXBRqvH5kg
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyP1u8wUE6
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFoah1bwoM
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi5NkLdtgZ
"She's cute in her own way."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagzM2mj79x
"She takes after me."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYgj0QKUkO
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2HOzClYBW
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLyz1V8teP
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNR2HxlL5S
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hrnSTo4jp
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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweFPsL69Ij
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9HTQJa4H7
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE6k6COGHy
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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa1ahEeSpV
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvX3ok6eUc
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibDKwg7lBE
"Yes! Your cologne-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgY9oKVPWn
"Check."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR2rOFoqtl
"Your wallet?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1muwM5B1
"In my car. Check."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh31tHD2F1
"Your other wallet?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysLk48YtoO
"Inside my back pocket. Check."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgkGD6mDHi
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawwnCR4CEv
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeD8dFnar9
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniOPkXy8Mz
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMzECcbhKE
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwwOcSQ6yG
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrsytNUcOi
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRgifgM7bd
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K8nDdkUgB
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI6hSHAuje
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi081GebJly
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRy7a1ZJw0
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPw1zxOd9v
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17lU1ekGcD
"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?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxnEe5ECgj
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ujhWTdMW
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGtiK52fhk
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9vO6orYDP
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-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBSpJzSo3s
"I don't wear panties-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNauYrlJ2n0
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJIj2WZT4z
And he did. But failed yet again.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsehxjFAiQw
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIljvVA0P8
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3sMaIbxw7
"_"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg37fytTrdu
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRXImCpm8h
"_"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7L0b1jXFK
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKA98GN2Ye
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqh6Hki8hw
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhLblCWIwf
"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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpzJIMMdLP
"I will try to make the best out of it."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdnFzBa1KL
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy6VUDSLOs
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGloApzR01
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?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ630VAUnuhz
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZPV8pJIcH
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HOnjpG1p7
"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.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mlRB10Ebb
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5tO0VazZ8
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa288iHuZzr
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtaHzMY4cH
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIl8PQWf4l
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-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7yp870HCL
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb8a3DM97M
I froze in my place. "Who says-"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JX6Gz1OEj
"Hazel."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxuAWBotqS
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDRo3MDc7i
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5f1GETZMi
"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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYt1tqFkJZ
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."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps39trFDKT
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPdjIyga3y
"Just as you're not just any employee."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1qgz7i9TI
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil9meqezYT
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.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgBmbZTZmU
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. 950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyVuMXgTw5
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.
