"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3qDknvn3P
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuqxUAr5Yv
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHDlCSaDDg
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH3ZZExo2C
1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bJgMVntdh
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPXHnsd2Qe
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F1QpOCJz4
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQEXIBsGNE
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQcwmkPXGZ
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv76DF7Xon
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfr3cj54eu
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIvXRRh33S
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPsdhFblL3
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDndloWuef
Or he might actually return my..1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsdT9ERNKo
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtulK1TceH4
Or he might actually not. Never. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjCI01kApS
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkEORREg1e
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMbJK72Tr4
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4BUFyzMZH
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQ0m35WEE
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI0p0qhPi8
"Kiara."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe4MFBrKHW
"Hey Hazel!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDF6xobDiq
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSborNh51T
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPXbekUIs3
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yj5ShNwml
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20vqI0s9nx
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVme0yLE5Z
1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFfkV2YPdq
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sP8S7U11M
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFRnsZHpSA
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8FfyrV0Zp
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 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCX2dXLL77
1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptnevdtxAC
bought shoes, as a decoration. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCes0qVMSXo
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv41uUwsyJ
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle2fD4U35V
"What's your excuse?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTx2KuKBlq
"That you aren't coming home?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecHsdrnn6w
"Where's the excuse in there?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwaR3Hw24p
"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?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaFshoK7il
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xn9DVkvEs
"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-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiLtotNjEW
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScgLo2XcFj
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMGHUk6yQy
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hzAe3FBST
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKC8XRlitR
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwujup33R1
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFPApNqloC
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJQJH4wLV9
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0fgADWu2O
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1qyTx3Uiw
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5mP80ewEh
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMAj66jIom
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxdYjJhyRc
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNK5CGFPv6
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBSQgXpmE9
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK2NjIUhGF
1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEY8zJJQnv
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKMF5J6JiA
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh0vR0Ab6d
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNp7Fv6I9H
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8xMHHdo9A
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvBA1VTlR1
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBPRERcGwK
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKUVc4859G
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsyQvS3UAU
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTMsLjFjxt
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwx2YyJemC
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEDSpZO8eX
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNxm0sqPcC
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lrte7vVkW
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSHxxIXVWB
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKiwVxKuDE
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP6Ls3h1eH
"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-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE9Gheq5Zm
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lynDr2oRJ
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725GGtrda1
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w25YN6Idn
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85kkoRFEyn
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi40CfldNc
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHkeHNTMgB
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqcGifkjrj
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5UHh1jJQA
"She's cute in her own way."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxLLKHpUj7
"She takes after me."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GouNcHJDF
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgvPXuqKU1
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8zh9nDQgr
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezwPfu4TP6
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq6lM0NgdY
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE91PDnOTg
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcXQIiDky1
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoM7k7iMnN
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yh9rgMjzZ
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX24KNaVri
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PxSEDdF8o
"Yes! Your cologne-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTWWo9b9yM
"Check."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEgK2tXjVp
"Your wallet?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAugQ8y7ED
"In my car. Check."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq3YPkg5fH
"Your other wallet?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJdBihFavO
"Inside my back pocket. Check."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzDbpH5kMe
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBk9KJE9yK
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3WFFkj5yx
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Tbjenjlx
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc6sQeqQq9
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI6vCqf9Xb
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIhRXa3tSb
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w19xk8YF8
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCGdoV0x8t
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0qGIwAYcZ
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UimZ4eVAU
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk1HmZKgcY
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjTHWFyLBb
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRynYkwIHVl
"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?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxaFRSpP0Y
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNLMEbirWH
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPRveb5jfO
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgHs5dfUAL
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-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHwJ6FnevK
"I don't wear panties-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcDHkPlZ6O
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZd0U4Dhl2
And he did. But failed yet again.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN83lZYFFYe
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumeouwWQP4
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIeur44481
"_"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFciSTYFWJ
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jVTw1uu8x
"_"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoRQJ83svX
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9i6NPtr7n
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIJOE01bfn
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB1V9y3ei7
"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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf35m9E37jF
"I will try to make the best out of it."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iJ2SEFsYR
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHK0r3kMmA
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3by5MYTNXa
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?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDW6rlwHYv
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod0H8p8ltE
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiqJUjI2yV
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEZP2UEbLD
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZygiBpRjf
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzOvM5Qin0
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoKRfOyBNE
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32QmIN9FUL
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-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBZNwftvr7
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpHVGu41VA
I froze in my place. "Who says-"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuzJM7elUU
"Hazel."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Ue61CoAu
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxZL0wwL4L
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW18vvcPI3U
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaodI1QntqM
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YJg7NPpiL
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6QMY7aJEo
"Just as you're not just any employee."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kqFgudGkq
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRyYhJG7dF
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk1Kwh3VJo
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. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2zPWVvpB1
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.
