"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.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTmlgQi3v1
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZbWNAF96D
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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEmIDfEAzW
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQIXtScjk
1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTCYGFeYpS
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GMfbVERkA
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhh9HQQVSQ
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnDxFPh50A
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNec79QnIPc
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHhdKoLIG5
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDIgEYka6q
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ckqSqP8a
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9HFAKelvp
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOYcz3tUtn
Or he might actually return my..1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZduQF6bn7
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QhjHnoNKr
Or he might actually not. Never. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwjP0W1RAf
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhOkYmaP4g
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLpUilqnKL
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBm6SQLUff
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2SdRi9fan
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7JgJ5jLhN
"Kiara."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mdeZdheOn
"Hey Hazel!"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtmrHKGMTz
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HHHLIGc5M
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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9xyNFsInU
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb89OGzty6
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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnDs944sK4
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxovzdtMs03
1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk28bkKH8BE
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9WD2p6LvL
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFPTSDnNJ4
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6TJhizHqY
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 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFagnX6ZtEr
1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOE5qokXjq
bought shoes, as a decoration. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK89nRIkQTc
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gHxB5g95y
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3TLekzXk
"What's your excuse?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jgjmflbiz
"That you aren't coming home?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvtYzDzD8Y
"Where's the excuse in there?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfwHWD3zFt
"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?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71B2LBZPUq
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ln5V6ZU0k
"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-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruCUGvLgl5
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsQ07ESPWn
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86e8ZBtL3g
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsHzuHwyg8
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStgH2FddEn
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjHJX5Yvmq
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GeEX7p29L
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1kjyKMOnf
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2aVnSUg69
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46z2wZ5b6w
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOW858EysS
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk4y6yBWN3
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNbUPNHi6m
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZZBObTkbH
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMC1ZRt6xU
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVrsBWpDJf
1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgYTmUQTT
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQpWDwAPj7
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ejeJSJ37
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI26YCko4V4
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZsyP8JtzT
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIP5sMFRRk
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo8Ot49J0X
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwT6uTR127
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqbemO8Meu
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4KA4M3R8P
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK07BeKLy6J
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4CBJ0dQql
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ66ZqYJ3yI
"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.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhi3GfK7Tj
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lso9wzjXP
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQgHpuMlPV
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9Fp2Oyyn8
"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-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC69S4OPbr
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsv6bIvm9X
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDafMSafIB
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I7wS3P8Vv
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h5JhOrl8Q
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47CpU7p7XS
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZoJ52pLFB
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHBEBxBF2j
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x1xypHVV0
"She's cute in her own way."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGmMiLj0SP
"She takes after me."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvYle8HU2D
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh8naBlETh
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i3mcvE7JS
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWTlG8bwZf
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYjQjoxeA
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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwUPugPq9i
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySY7Fk7or3
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQSQKbG8EO
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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHARFR9znl
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxFz6DtGP5
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNHQeb3RAg
"Yes! Your cologne-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPRP0Vdpgb
"Check."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p7eLDtI9c
"Your wallet?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn84QERqhMw
"In my car. Check."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnUZ5vq0kC
"Your other wallet?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSDjc1cEEX
"Inside my back pocket. Check."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2canPywwN
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOnzwSSewJ
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuzOAsV6Th
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfO5xidaGI
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc9HRNDJ4Y
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlGfN31eVx
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0vUS4Swkd
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyn9Khkf4x
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6E5H4pStV
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSYo2bwe2b
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiOvAHt8zI
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVSl9jPmv9
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6OLTqerqV
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHhUULtDLn
"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?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKcVDsOtUs
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDATpsvt8Rq
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXHUWDSCan
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsGsI0CSzL
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-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQ5MenNGZ
"I don't wear panties-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrviqbvCY6r
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZFXxbRY6l
And he did. But failed yet again.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPolga47Mq
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaocsYkdImp
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbPmyx9rnq
"_"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMyEkpUS0n
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAau5aj6u8x
"_"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKPCSWFYZh
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg3ZNWXiU0
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdYNvglkZx
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpy128gGWJ
"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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqPKDkOJSo
"I will try to make the best out of it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJqEMuBVZ8
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz70Y0ifAee
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl1IwPQuWZ
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?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQGxoAsbBw
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexgNxFGb14
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTqGfCavYi
"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.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBfNu9f16s
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJSreqWrqZ
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXRDSow1V6
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOERFwsSCGR
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChSjXDd4Cw
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-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ROsosku0
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLchUQrwpGd
I froze in my place. "Who says-"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKjnxXJwEu
"Hazel."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP3uqp7RCl
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Wg2eINmU
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcxCcCwMdh
"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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rvPBwmEXm
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."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ePHvpB62
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOEnYPMRIo
"Just as you're not just any employee."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNemSoSDZr
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnETdCEOHS6
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.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBfFvX5uxa
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. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BHSv5WfXv
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.
