Immediately she loosened her grip and put a safe distance between them making him chuckle at her innocent actions. His eyes were looking at her who had been looking elsewhere but at him. She struggled to get out any possible replies to break this awkward bubble of tension built around them with his amusement and the different emotions hovering on his face. She badly wanted to break the bubble because it is particularly building up tension only for her, than him. Hearing her mental battle of not getting any word out from her, her fairy godmother had finally decided to cast a spell to break the situation with the click sound of the elevator. Run Ari, run, she thought before she hurried out of the elevator. He tailed her and stopped behind her who stood typing in the passcode. Entering the penthouse she immediately went to the heater and stood taking in its warmth. The strained rigidness that enveloped her body gradually took off. Her head was preoccupie
NarrationDamon came out dressed in the outfit Arianna gave him earlier. His agitation about his meaningless theories ceased and the reverberating tension of his thoughts was laid back. He took steady steps towards Arianna who was going through the cabinets. "Ria?" He called out for her only for her to point at the table in the living room, her eyes still rummaging through the contents of the brown cabinets in the kitchen. Shrugging his shoulders he walked to the living room. His eyes widened when he saw the cup of hot chocolate that was waiting on the table. Was it for him? His thoughts took their leave when Arianna came and occupied the single couch opposite."Is it for me?" Damon asked confusedly as he sat on the couch opposite her. "Of course! We don't offer hot chocolate for tables and couches, do we?" She asked, and rolled her eyes. "You can't blame it on me since it's a chocolate drink you are offering. I had seen you gallop an entire gift box of Lindt Lindor in a snap of sec
Narration"I believe it's better for the girl's sanity not to have to deal with the devil himself," she countered back and sipped her drink. Damon playfully glared at her yet soon they broke into fits of laughter."Don't push back my question. You serve hot chocolate for saving your life?" He asked her, after a sip of hot chocolate. A smug look contorted his face making her roll her eyes once again. He adored the action of her big eyes. Although he hated people eye-rolling at him he had developed a liking for her. Only her. Only the way she did seemed appealing to him."What do you want Damon?" She asked him with her eyes scrutinizing what was behind his cloaked words. His eyes wavered to her lips and her eyes. She was ready to snap at him but she restrained herself when he softly
Arianna ReynoldsI was cocooned like a drenched cat under the dense comforters yet my shivers never came to a halt. My heart struggled to ease the growing uneasiness of the night. The long night exhausted my mental composition. Invisible shackles were drawing me into a memory lane I didn't want to step in. My sleep was lost in the vortex of thoughts throwing random memories along distant corners. The loud earth-shattering thunder took my sleep away and I was shivering in fear. I hate thunder just like how I hate loud people. The bad days I had with my grandparents stirred memories of the days I don't ever wanna recall.I decided to read a book when my eyes refused to rest. Throwing the comforters off my body I walked into the walk-in closet and grabbed my fluffy jacket. Snaking my body into it, I lazily dawdled towa
NarrationThe insolent morning rays pried off his slumber. Snuggling cosily into the warmth of his pillow he moaned, relishing the softness. His fingers released the tight grasp around his duvet. He felt his pillow moving. Shallow breaths were heard and he doubted he was high last night. How can his pillow breathe? Peel opening his eyes, he pushed himself off the softness. He felt soft fingers moving over his mane. Softly he clutched his fingers around the person's wrist and pushed it to the side. Looking at the fingers his head registered the cute little fingers of someone familiar. Hot blood rushed to his face as he tried scrambling out of the bed in fear and shock, but ended up being wrapped in her arms once again. His eyes widened when he found himself cuddling the lithe figure of Arianna and his head dug deep into her devouring neck now. Looking at her neck from a dangerous distance made him insane. Her skin was so inviting and he was weak with her sinful scent. The tension was sq
"Get away from me!" He snapped at her brutally, shattering her heart. "Stop this madness Damon," she snarked back at him looking dead in his eyes. "I don't need you, not anybody. Just get away," he gritted his teeth looking at her with barbaric eyes. "Take deep breaths, Damon. Follow me," she spoke softly as if she was dealing with a stubborn kid having his temper tantrum because of losing his favourite toy. He stared blankly at her before following her words. She was dazed up by the wounded look of Damon and without any second thoughts she cradled him in her arms. Surprisingly he was willing to coil his big frame in her tiny arms for comfort. It felt right for both of them. His arms tightened around her pulling her to him without his concern. The automated actions of his body made him lean his forehead over hers."Take a deep breath, Damon. You are okay. Take a deep breath." She said softly, her hands caressing in
She knew what was tormenting him inside his head.The adrenaline rush and her morals came back with a rough hit on her head and made her pull away like a jet ski. She scrambled out of his hold and stood on the edge of the bed with her back facing him. The sudden push from her broke his bubble of infatuation and desire and let the reality seep in. Taking the reins of his self-control his head was back into proper functioning. He knew the short-circuited thoughts of self restrain caused by Ria would take a lot of distance and hurtful words from her. If not he would be lured into the magic again.Taking his deep breath again but this time to calm his infatuation towards the teenager he fixed his gaze on Ria who was holding her head in her hands. Her hands tugged at the delicate roots of her hair making him wince. He loved her hair so much to the extent he wanted to sleep on the silk tresse. "I'm sorry Ria," he apologiz
In the past few days it was impossible for him to get his decent sleep without his mind being indecent about the scornful beauty cursing at him through his eyes. The distress of not being able to talk to her and meet her was getting his pants in a twist. "What?" Arianna asked him unaware of the swallowed words of his. "I said all you have to do to kill me is stare at me.""Why aren't you dead yet?" she asked leaning back on her chair with a sarcastic smile plastered across her lips."I wasn't done yet, honey. Stare at me with love and I'll die every moment," Damon flirted making Arianna flush at his comment. The smirk he carried on his stupidly handsome face made me want to ruin it for all, her head cussed."You are crazy!" she blurted irritated at how his words were affecting her heart."Be there at the parking lot in 10, sweetheart," Damon said with a charming smile. Arianna's cheeks were a red party, flushing her face with the intense shade. Her hea
"Earlier in the morning I met Prof. Darius," Arianna said and looked down at her hands on her lap. Taking a breath she looked at Anna who gave her a timid nod indicating non-verbally that she was in tune with her confession.Arianna continued, "Do you remember the project I had been working on under the guidance of Prof. Max?" Anna nodded in agreement. She can faintly recall the paper works Arianna had been following in the past months."Since he departed, it's been given to Damon to handle. He even agreed to help me with my paperwork and the stupid professor asked me to be his help like his personal assistant. Not exactly what he said but it implies me tagging Damon along until I'm done with my papers. I feel like throwing up already!" Arianna grunted in erupting fury. Anna stayed silent and let the words sink inside her head. "Ms Reynolds," they heard a voice that interrupted their conversation. It was her professor who had his stringent expression hovering on his face."Yes, profes
