"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.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ4KBHSqFY
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiH1f308Wr
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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSNKLmZL1A
My words must've knocked his bolts out 'cause he stopped in his actions, peeking from my throat to look at me. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2AQAeiE79
1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNwie0iBSq
When he saw the expression on my face, he realized what he did, and almost instantly, his face was filled with guilt and remorse.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRWlsXat1r
He backed out from me hurriedly, sitting on the other side of bed, raking his fingers across his slighly disheveld hairs.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d7facmC3I
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ElxwKvfDH
Inside, I was burning with desire sadness and agony. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij6Pk26fkO
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLugTgHdLV
So it was only natural if he hyperventilated a little. We all do, sometimes. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu17BlByzN
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2IKitlRAg
That he wasn't as thrilled and excited to go on a date with Kiara as much as I thought he was. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lBYr5nvyK
Or that he might possibly didn't like Kiara that much after all. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqPD13NEiV
Or he might actually return my..1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6e3v08bJK
"I didn't mean to throw myself at you, Scarlett. I suppose I'm just desperate, that's all."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAVyFiahub
Or he might actually not. Never. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QbbpbrbtM
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8bQl7lPnb
Slowly I sat on the other side of the bed, my head hung low in realisation. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLuJtima9y
"I'm sorry, Scarlett-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLKE9j2yQA
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzZ8q82Yx5
And as if on a cue, the doorbell to his apartment rang and I silently made my way to the hall to answer it. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EwBDILxvN
"Kiara."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBTZ3HkB29
"Hey Hazel!"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow5MRsdsvK
Kiara hugged me tightly, crushing few of my ribs in the process, and I stepped to the side to let her inside. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qd9bLsYvC
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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtw7dMBx4b
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOuJgK9f8
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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tD9OGcyfi
Putting aside the usual waves of sadness, that passed through my chest1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOSeeDzWEJ
1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79pYOnYDdl
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg8nCozIGq
'Cause Kiara didn't do date in her casual clothes. She was too modest for that. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFHGIkpWfs
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sbMAFf85J
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 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVSVKoLi3b
1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqbrkySuEW
bought shoes, as a decoration. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3DdoxxsEB
"Tell him I'm not coming home anytime soon."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0aVV0wcWO
"Okay, but be prepared with some better excuse next time. This time I'm letting you borrow mine." She said, nonchalantly. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh1M0qkfXF
"What's your excuse?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBsCwp9zEv
"That you aren't coming home?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF7vNn8xsa
"Where's the excuse in there?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG1erotopx
"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?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMPMzJKimz
I grinned at her. "You have grown to be a very smart lady, Kiara."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDCnKYwl5Q
"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-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3l2XqlYWc
"Enough of your bullshits, Kiara. Get out now-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLTP9Hckp2
"Okay! Okay! I'm going! You're no fun, sis. But in an hour we're meeting so you can't actually-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvYFQopg2
"Do you want be slapped by a turnip?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtunUomh2o
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yzd5a499u
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgkW3iA9Sm
"Some innocent younger sister you're supposed to be."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA531tFTIRZ
I didn't reply to his almost annoying statement. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmurA5Yzsv
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBelAsTdGb
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoaCvyoOnK
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlko6wZLzJ
But Heath was also year or two older than me, so that chalks up his age almost similar to that of Kiara's. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEFcNSnNCC
They even had matching birthyears, never mind the birthdays. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXoMACHkn
Perfect couple, they would make, I enchanted in my brain. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN5l4HSuWX
"Let's get you ready." I told him and walked to his room, busying myself with readying his attire. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjt7ozuG0n
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOhu0N3r1B
1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByHOAwGum6
Straightening out his dark blue tux, I slung it close to his broad shoulders, which he slid easily up his arms. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejKGtnPryN
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNxfdeS50T
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRac6ovYDiL
"This one looks much better. Tie it around-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LJQ2ltjJE
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitVAAC4ZAc
Nodding, I raised my arms and wrapped my hands around his collar, adjusting the tie and tried to tie it strangely with struggle. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMLtlXj8G8
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRwCsHak40
His chest rumbled with his laugh, and I gulped looking at his half exposed chest in front of my eyes. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBowC1p1gYd
Untying it as respectably as possible, I tried to tie it again, but failed nevertheless. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVctra6O03
I remembered doing it with much ease with my father's tie, when he prepared to go to his office. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhuleoVS63
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuAudGrxGZ
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhCAOK31an
"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.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy1U8iWd7s
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaI1GmAyjg
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sdA8VTubQ
"Yeah. I never knew Kiara's favorite color was blue. Thanks for filling it in time for me."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnazryBWCfw
"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-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn0LbaMwSA
"Where the blue fits in there then?" He asked, with the hint of annoyance and worry, in his deep voice. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHlN9pAwlu
I pretended to think like some good old scholar but ended up looking like some jarred granny instead. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ107OjPOfGF
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjbJpP0WQe
"Seriously, Scarlett? That's your reason for making me wear blue on my first date-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDslVYEEzs
"I told you it's looking good. Sexy as hell! Kiara will never dream of another man again-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDzpT2AmHh
"And you don't think it's your favorite color?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCosLeRraQs
I pretended to fake gasp, but seeing his serious expression, I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms across my breasts. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJjzwSFu3v
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUex7FWNhP
"She's cute in her own way."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF3y1QkgU0
"She takes after me."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMgvda9RLa
"Yeah? Just as you take after your madness?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfPrKkiAyQ
"That was a nice attempt at making a complete fool out of yourself."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdJ7LpYVJ3
"Admit your defeat already, Scarlett." He chuckled.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSSdrl5wx5
"Hah. You think I'm not like Kiara?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4cY4mEVTH
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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSANTx7ki
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE7MQgeQlG
"Stop it. I'm getting nausea here." 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmA3z1cZBo
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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡangQAeyfLx
"I already threw up twice when you were kicking your sister out of my apartment."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyVKVNhwVC
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudayLhogXF
"Yes! Your cologne-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHZPI2X3V
"Check."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd3V4I6hID
"Your wallet?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN4O9ZoFGX
"In my car. Check."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqJccSwNw4
"Your other wallet?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY6TDJDuD5
"Inside my back pocket. Check."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDytmeSueqt
"Do you happen to have a third one for emergencies?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZxi9wYqhK
"I'm not eloping with my lover, Scarlett."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYDUlBrkp
"Yeah! Your wristwatch?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL5YqkUesD
He showed me his hand, and I nodded. "Check."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB92TvSuQn
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened in alarm. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZWSRp82ks
Only half an hour left till his reserved date at some fancy restaurant I didn't have the brains to remember name of. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrYQGvFVfx
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcwJpNNHHt
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPKVnC4l3P
"You look fine, Heath." I encouraged him. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mBCsgyOVb
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwqYNMOa5X
"Scarlett-" He looked at me, touched with my efforts. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD9fdOOxZr
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69VOfKdA93
"Keep your chin high." I put my fingers under his jawline and raised his head a little to face forward.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGt4GJAW30
"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?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr4JhkFCQ9
I gauged his reaction and he seemed to be following what I was trying to say.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3eTtcT0tb
"Smile and wave it all off." I repeated. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTM7H8Hsaj
"Smile and wave it all off." He repeated with me and tried to smile his best way. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QqgYAjDOS
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-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXjpC9hWz0
"I don't wear panties-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFrVP7xLE
"Either way, you're doing it all wrong. Smile." I looked at him with determination and perseverance."Again."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNzitiCokq
And he did. But failed yet again.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6nj37sZGk
"Honestly, Heath. You really need to sweat it all out-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnYfdqBCv2
"You know I've never been to a date before, Scarlett."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3jDHvwWV
"_"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCIjteMTkQ
"I thought I should remind you this is my first time..." He trailed off, seeing the blank reaction on my face. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqMYVUWBvm
"_"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpVP4CnLRd
"Okay, okay I'm smiling goddammit! See? I am smiling. Happy?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F1L3d8ORS
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YWQxViFhv
He sighed in defeat. "I think it's gonna end in disaster-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge03XnEzAR
"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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAdMn9VVKe
"I will try to make the best out of it."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4kG3897c8
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFCTaNUOI9
"Feel comfortable? But she's not you, Scarlett. How can I-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLmMmpchxv
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?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6tNdPi8Es
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJZy62l0R
Heath looked at me in daze, something suddenly twinkling in his eye, and I found I didn't want to know what it was. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3VXMSi7ps
"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.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaooKrYKv3
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKazUMX2j
"I think you should go for now, Heath. Unless you want to end up picking up your first date late, that is."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXylOg0MsQ
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjWsR18lY
"You don't look much happy with my date, I see."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD55GgTSUBq
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-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkJHBx4PIT
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeyng14DW5
I froze in my place. "Who says-"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xlza6Rkc9
"Hazel."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAR6U4w6Ak
I looked at anywhere but him. "Are you not happy with me going on a date with your sister?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjKTj2NwIA
"Who cares if I am happy or not?" As long as you are happy, I am happy, I thought to myself. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlM2GSHgID
"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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42HPgFskGD
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."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Yw2HMWJJ
"You're not a stranger." I mumbled under my breath. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRlVu4a7Bp
"Just as you're not just any employee."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshLwpnuycz
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLnHA8PDoz
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.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDwpxEGsJd
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. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKYaIecJaw
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.
