New character unlocked! And it looks like she's up to no good too.
Aria didn’t get any sleep last night because she was busy thinking about Zenon’s question. That kid definitely knows how to ask some deep questions.“Who do you like more?” kept replaying in her mind.“You look like a zombie,” Adriel greeted as soon as she saw Aria.Aria jokingly glared up at her and ruffled her already messy hair. “Gee, thanks. Just what I needed in this fine morning,” she sarcastically said.Adriel chuckled. “You look like you didn’t get any sleep. Boy problems?” she asked.Aria nodded her head. “I don’t want to think about it anymore.”“Then, don’t!” Adriel said. “Just let it flow, Aria.”“If I could do just that, then I would have done so ages ago!” she exasperatedly said. “But I can’t! I feel like I have to settle this as soon as possible.Adriel sighed. “Love takes time, Aria. You don’t have to feel rushed. Besides, have they confessed to you already?““That’s one more thing that I’m thinking about! What if all of these are just a figment of my imagination, and
Zeth slapped himself awake for the twentieth time today. It was early in the morning, and yet he was feeling so restless already. He didn’t even get to talk with Adriel last night since he was so sleepy. He’s usually energetic and snappy; however, these days, he feels like he always just wants to lie down in bed. He doesn’t know whether it’s because of Jo’s absence, but he pointed that out to be the culprit. Ever since she left three days ago and Sara was the only one who could help him, he’s seen a change in his sleeping habits since then. “Sara,” he called for his new assistant. Sara came into the room with a sweet smile on her face. She was yet again wearing another revealing outfit, but Zeth was too tired to reprimand her. “Yes, sir?” she asked, walking over to his chair. “Bring me another cup of coffee,” he said. Sara smirked. “Are you sure, sir? This is your third cup of coffee, and it’s only morning.” “Don’t ask any more questions,” he shook his head. “Just bring it to m
Aria ran off as soon as she confirmed that it was indeed Kian that she saw—her urge to go to the bathroom completely being forgotten. She ran along Adriel on the way, and she seemed to be having the same expression as Aria. The two of them didn’t even have to speak to know that something wasn’t right. “Let’s go?” Adriel said. Aria nodded her head and followed Adriel out of the club. The two of them went to Adriel’s car, and they started driving to a nearby drive-thru. They ordered some fattening fast food and settled on the open parking lot with the windows open. Adriel sighed, causing Aria to stop eating her ice cream. “What happened?” she asked. Adriel also sighed. “Zeth didn’t call me because he’s worried. He just called me to tell me that he’s going home late—again. And I also heard his new assistant’s voice over the phone. I feel like she was near him at that time since her voice was so close.” She leaned back in her seat. “I told myself that I would calm myself down afte
Aria shook her hands in nervousness. She was standing right outside Cedric's and Kian's apartment, ready to bare her soul in front of the person that she liked. She decided that it was better to get it out of her chest than to let her feelings rot inside her heart. She thought about this a lot, and she decided that taking the risk and being rejected would be more bearable than having to hide her feelings for god knows how long. She also decided to confront him about what she saw in the club and if it's true that he had changed his past habits because of her. She raised her fist up to knock on the door, but it suddenly opened before her skin could even make contact with the wood. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Cedric standing right in front of her. Cedric froze when he saw Aria with her fist up in the air. Aria cleared her throat and brought her fist down. She looked away from his eyes and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Umm, sorry. Wrong door," she was about to l
Aria wandered her eyes around the park near their apartment complex. She was already out of breath from chasing after him, and he still showed no signs of appearing. She placed her hands on her knees to catch her breath before looking for him once more. She didn't know how much he heard or saw, but she inferred that he must not have heard a lot seeing that he ran away as soon as he saw them hugging. "Where is that guy?" she muttered under her breath as she reached the playground. Just then, she saw a head of brown hair peeking over from behind the slides. She sighed and slowly walked over to him. She smiled when she saw him sitting on a swing, carelessly swinging while staring off into distant space. She sat down next to him and also rocked herself back and forth, closing her eyes momentarily to enjoy the cool and comforting breeze. The two were aware of each other's presence, and yet they hadn't spoken a single word—probably because they already knew what this will lead to.
“What are we doing here?” Cedric asked Kian, who was currently dragging him to Zeth’s office. “Aria told me to check on something,” he said. “We have work, Kian,” Cedric deadpanned. “It’s still early in the morning. We can manage,” Kian said. “Besides, Aria told me she won’t give me any kisses until I do this one for her, so….” Cedric rolled his eyes. “Must be nice.” “It is nice,” Kian teasingly smiled. “I have someone to hold after a tiring day; there’s always someone who greets me in the morning, and the best part is that she gives me so much joy and pleasure—“ “Alright, alright,” Cedric cut her off. “You don’t need to go that far. I’m already jealous as it is,” he muttered under his breath. “Let’s go, bro. We haven’t seen Zeth in ages too. He also still doesn’t know that you're moving to France.” “Fine,” Cedric caved in. “But we have to be back by lunch.” “Of course,” Kian smiled. “I’ll be having lunch with my baby Aria by then.” “Alright, maybe you should just do this on
“What?” Adriel exclaimed through the phone. She was all alone in their house since Aria and Kian presented to take care of Zenon. When those two finally got together, they had been playing with Zenon more often since “he makes them feel like parents,” as per their words. Now, those two are calling after her since Zenon apparently ingested something inanimate. “W—well, is he alright?” Adriel stammered. “Bring him to the hospital!” “He’s alright,” Aria reassured. “It’s a good thing that Kian knows first aid. However, he’s crying for you. Is it alright for you to come here and console him?” “Alright, alright,” Adriel nodded her head. “I’ll head out immediately after hanging up the phone.” She ended the call right away and readied her things. She borrowed one of Zeth’s cars and sped to Kian’s and Aria’s apartment complex. She wasted no time in taking the elevator to Kian’s unit. *** Zeth anxiously tapped his foot on the ground as he waited for Adriel’s arrival. Cedric chuckled as
“Adriel Summers,” he smiled up at her. Adriel looked down on her lover, still unbelieving of the current situation. Of course, she had imagined this a thousand times in her head. Being married to Zeth and having the opportunity to stay with him until the end of their lives was one of her greatest desires. Now that the moment had come, she couldn't help but be emotional. “You have changed my life in the best way possible, and I don’t think I can live without you anymore," Zeth said. “I love you so much,” tears started welling up in his eyes. “I see you every single day, and yet I still feel like I miss you. I love you so so much, but I still feel like I haven’t loved you enough. So, allow me to love you for the rest of our lives. I may not be able to promise a perfect relationship, but what I can promise is perfect love.” “Will you marry me?” he finally asked the question. It was a brief statement, but nonetheless, it was perfect. Tears started streaming down Adriel’s face the se
