"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJGdLqHhJZ
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSPDBcRQ6d
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyHgxrgMHt
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJiGnXxET8
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMffuFp7QW
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsxcXe6Us1
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0fv4PVcub
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmROb3ASvn
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj8CiXiORW
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjyR5p2OZL
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy0H6eqXO3
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjoppwkcJm
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTANJFaBqwO
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp45iQyPcdl
Or he might actually return my..1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ9aOHA6W2
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9HtP1VPH1
Or he might actually not. Never. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1eB5Ek0mo
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30LjoURxO0
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED5K9JS33u
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieKGN783S0
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzun7TTSRYb
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34qQDejt4E
"Kiara."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8T8yOCSVJ
"Hey Hazel!"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpHDK8b7cd
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApR0g70b1B
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0HvjlRltJ
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh8OXWPZOD
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MucDYFMC4
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8USLtDVIUS
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVwfeqbWep
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0aT79NzvZ
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWbOsv4K10
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBr8lPTK73
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 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yKtCgPerh
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpis8REnt1c
bought shoes, as a decoration. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHy0b2ufcy
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUFMZ3xlG0
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboaXRvjC4u
"What's your excuse?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLamlR3nwMs
"That you aren't coming home?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq5q6WIqvz
"Where's the excuse in there?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ86mjZJL0
"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?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyFCCdFFVc
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs1ZEuKiD8
"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-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP9D6aj9uN
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYC16Lyjat
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHlYW0zAxR
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QeBEp5SyA
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZQ8xuvl2i
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ZmjdYcgn
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20E1zJF0DX
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY2TamKjFk
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyY4k8dgFp
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmve3P8kH3S
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYIoc1U4Sp
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfRWzFSG8z
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6PJpsBs5k
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNR7DX7GUE
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc99umuyfaa
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4KS2rAGkG
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjdVk1mHcO
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlsdNOndSJ
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumkgHZ4O6B
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiMphpd7dW
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90qr5NTY4w
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta8qrlcB4B
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0wDYXTdeD
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHfAEiHZi2
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7DW8H77zR
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaHcRDgCNp
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHSs6PCMkA
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQisM88AyKm
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6lOgTJMQE
"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrm027VJsu
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCsZ8CylHI
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktQNDulECL
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAcJ8ITc1J
"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-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAKT1op6L3
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi1jivtHzX
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0u7WVUunT
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5NenVzOqB
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb7fh2IA16
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbDg3nNOVv
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGm8CRL0rG
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHn88bK9dP
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zNUrsQW8d
"She's cute in her own way."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3kMUQbtVu
"She takes after me."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdoAE5aqLU
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTKVGiu5Sh
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CWvQTxDgh
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmLsaqYvRg
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO81SRiFAN
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdknNs3rykI
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDwDp0GYzq
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSfFMYkFic
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7d7yglcgb
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1q5gjtoa3
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAOmtOANsS
"Yes! Your cologne-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnU5h6jzhq
"Check."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlq67xI9Jf
"Your wallet?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQOjFl0ujd
"In my car. Check."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVuei4PIui
"Your other wallet?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEOdzjZn0h
"Inside my back pocket. Check."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA7JqLnhlh
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohrE1GyHTV
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinwQhVnvjO
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjih4RDAjq
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBp94WvMrv
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqqE9lgHr
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO0ZYwsh6m
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEUsfR6fl6
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nC0DJ5Eb1
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrWpg26LE1
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ewj4miYs
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1yXKUqbxC
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ815MaXyEW0
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgitfCIMxY
"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?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ8JAWP4EM
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQTNSKNk0M
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuvzQ6rOQw
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyLXlURWX1
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-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbxcHxcDI0
"I don't wear panties-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gsYiiXxmj
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDbxgBMQFN
And he did. But failed yet again.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG55REFJkKN
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8rnyADDW5
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgO90YHbBg
"_"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RWtSKylB7
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rqD5oV1ZB
"_"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX23dIx2uY
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcWr1Bn5WR
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA5cJ85H7Z
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvhsdCCcX6
"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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYiVt07hy
"I will try to make the best out of it."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXrf5Q2dnA
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD8teCcWNv
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwBqroirSl
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?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AUVNNogad
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOyPQ8FPX8
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8UDIy324R
"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTUAXS5rQx
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijsUWiNRxH
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7V5G4W0qJ
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0g6h7oITL
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JKWPjZjCg
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-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcUHG3cbIB
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jLwmV5gfA
I froze in my place. "Who says-"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFoDkczr81
"Hazel."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71J9Ea8D72
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7tPHZJzMI
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxHBR2plam
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UIBpLqIWY
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbuChaW4FT
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcUgs76UVW
"Just as you're not just any employee."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPoRGHGRqQ
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A3znFUC6T
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwWxjF81VT
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. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ensUZmlYm
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.
