"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAauyJsA2fB
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6roQAdagLv
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUtTHVnvEI
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDRar0XdtI
971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdb1gwSTNA
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkCUBmoi8K
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt4VA5JV1p
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx9apvqO3k
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUdM1EzXTQ
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5pFOjHvnC
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRX4p9OOdO
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl02eJYcbI
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG8vQv8aVX
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpqJS8H7nn
Or he might actually return my..971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMJgWzn1gu
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjGn4H3ezN
Or he might actually not. Never. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAmR8Ixtff
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHWLR0ZO9t
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnoVY9zDvD
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhg2SIcK44
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqabQYuhGo
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcG0uM20Px
"Kiara."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGblPQ9MZp
"Hey Hazel!"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClyxlEJTgh
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzHr020nbw
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO2G25TlS3
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyIJ2FxknV
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm7TlgdoRp
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yrjpzQhx3
971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL57fVxGNZG
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptxNtWwsEg
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzUoTfbhCY
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBmRVyOSTu
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 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqiVzauH9t
971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd1p7q5lwn
bought shoes, as a decoration. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70F5kLvdK
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI11xvPKt1
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM3nuWrVOx
"What's your excuse?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE6eQPNpmD
"That you aren't coming home?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBcJ3Ymhy9
"Where's the excuse in there?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOOnAUlNGM
"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?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZbzVMuAEc
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35U6ygbPWB
"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-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe94WLpc8aB
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6v65Bri1S
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QEXzTDLdr
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfKdRNON0k
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dih50F1Gd
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhgv1sJmGd
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcpwVfPDoe
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoX6pxaHnF
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE93o9B7WV
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkmeXXBo7e
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHffps9mja
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNVCJO5QsQ
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt16IbJkRhs
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYDBarQ9Pg
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG2AyC0Ey9
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPipmlGdyI4
971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yt2Sqdb6n
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeuzxcsuUY
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJItM97LuV
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoOWfGozXK
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlcvD5QZFH
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxytH8kR3I
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS3r35EALI
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHeP7nMtHE
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ho1o0gfMg
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfymyqBiXx
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlGmEgJXCI
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7gUYqvVU
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS1YNWZFBa
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1gtpJ9eed
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWToIOKy6Ft
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU55Ary1f6
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nkSbItlld
"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-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVpgemLEFH
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUnXVHte8G
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMFOfVZuV
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe1lV0lYR4
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4fFhV9BDQ
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ruoiSMQIC
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdryp6fEb3
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52QWNToPZW
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTCaQuXKm6
"She's cute in her own way."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAMRdmOBH6
"She takes after me."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfBcsghMIh
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgddZx4Z683
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxof3piPJW
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEgHHyK9rf
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjquhhEwSoA
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJoZUiP5WO
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDbWqfBHT5
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNNv8dBwcE
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfZK0EHETj
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcZkgK6moX
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fc4pzJWd1
"Yes! Your cologne-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaSh95zbGZ
"Check."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPjqQSG6yK
"Your wallet?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3I7W5Akq4
"In my car. Check."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMWGKGt1Pc
"Your other wallet?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQ9iqIJaW
"Inside my back pocket. Check."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb6hszC2UG
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVF6sJ4heH
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9c3n1yaIr
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDFpETOtT6
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2mxcFZsxg
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdhFjPRyH8
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl47HpPc79
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFoLhUf9Zn
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0WKi4ppTn
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJPJwju3kl
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWmvFOLmgC
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViHViUoBf3
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN122Dgr1A
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡead4f0Zo3m
"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?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRNjy53tWx
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vEd08xwZE
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHIlIUDpXB
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwlcM4rWcC
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-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf3VjwtErE
"I don't wear panties-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXSgiLzpPp
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY08vB97kyR
And he did. But failed yet again.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26Vz4qAFjl
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoVZw1grpk
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR3Y3X96Si
"_"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTmeBSK4Jw
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmlmmKAn9o
"_"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQjiSNYpo
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjg6UCpgSF
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WxJogdFCD
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz23lcVjlw
"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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhpfL6oWvy
"I will try to make the best out of it."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnfuwqGJXx
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCyhMkLQhE
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKBmqVxqR9
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?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSA4GofONS
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xvoUTi9R
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEREr8sSfU
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoRhapcNpe
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXsXD7DZfn
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFjUw6zWKi
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRHjRFCbW7
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQIwJ52dH
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-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R4MIYjFzk
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfBtJgAjyb
I froze in my place. "Who says-"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BiZDHrn3H
"Hazel."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDviP3IcO7
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlc4mx1xX8
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpqZxnRAH
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5gHJQX5Ca
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro81PqoxPw
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Tt6AkBNs
"Just as you're not just any employee."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmcUMHkXvS
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMMhiFnsHN
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZn8CxWbwK
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. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgDxfRNtPT
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.
