Just wait...
Elijah grabbed my hand and dragged me away from the crowd. We ran through the side alley to a small café at the back of our station. I didn't even know such place existed so near our headquarters. Before we walked inside he gave me a tissue so I could wipe my tears. He acted considerate, without asking any questions, just like a real friend… and I needed a friend at that moment.
We walked inside, he led me to a seat by the corner, so we could have more privacy and ordered us some hot drinks, without even asking what I wanted. The waiter brought the order few minutes later.
“Hot chocolate…?” I asked staring at my drink.
“With chilly, sweet and spicy. Try it, it'll make you feel better,” he smiled kindly.
I took a sip. The sweetness hit my tastebuds and immediately increased the level of dopamine inside my body. I smiled faintly.
“See? I told you, it's good,” he chuckled.
“T-thank

A Kissing Spell Agony
After reading a message from Samil and getting sure that I was not going to be fired I could finally try falling asleep. One thing was for certain, I was getting tired of constant accusations, I was getting tired of taking one step forward and two steps back. I became much closer to admitting that I needed Sister's help. She could truly become my only hope…Surely, I believed that my Grandma would do her best in finding a way to solve my problems, she was going to risk everything, so I didn't die on my birthday, but perhaps, that was the whole point… Deep in my mind I knew that she was even going to sacrifice herself in order to make me live, and I was not going to stand back and watch her decide on something like that. I needed to make a choice on my own, and my choice was clear. I had to learn how to fully understand and control my magic. I needed to work on some backup plan, in case it would turn out that Samil and I weren't meant to be together after all&hel
A Kissing Spell Getting through it all
I kept crying and nervously panting for a long time before I finally regained my composure. I pitied Immara, or maybe I cried over my own soul, and I couldn't understand how could anyone treat another human the way she had been treated. Now I knew for certain it was one thing to read about it in history books, but experiencing it was something completely different. At the same time, I kept wondering why did I see this? I felt like my own soul wanted me to be aware of something that happened before, perhaps I should think of it as a warning, so that I wouldn't trust people easily, or I would be betrayed just like Immara was?I didn't know what happened, but it was obvious that Immara would never kill people, and if there were people from Sunakampo that were murdered, she was clearly framed. Another thing that was bothering me… who was that damn so-called “Princess” that was announced as Duke's legit fiancé?! I wished there was some way I could find ou
A Kissing Spell A small progress…
I followed Sister to the theatre's audience hall, where she had her “room” and tons of magic books she gathered over the years. She invited me to sit and offered a tea. Then she sat next to me and observed me with a faint smile.“What made you come here again?” she asked curiously.“A lot of things…” I laughed nervously, “But I think the main one was… I need to be able to protect the ones close to me and myself…”“Good,” Sister chuckled, “Tell about your magic. Tell me what do you feel when you cast a spell.”I took a deep breath before I answered her question, like a student at the oral exam.“I feel a force running through my body whenever I put my emotions in what I want,” I explained hesitantly.“But… I can see your are not certain of your own magic,” she glanced at me testing me.“I don't know whether
A Kissing Spell Business dinner
Grace and I were the first to sit by the table in the restaurant. We waited nervously for Charlotte and Sonia even though we knew each other for over four years and used to spend a lot of time together… at work. The problem was, we never acted as friends, moreover we often argue with each other. Of course, it was good then, because it led us to a lot of marvelous ideas none of us would have come up with alone. Yet, the situation now was slightly more complicated, since the truth was… we needed Charlotte and Sonia desperately, and far more than they needed us.As far as I was aware of, right after losing her job at TVM, Charlotte became a freelance stylist with a financial support from her newest boyfriend, while Sonia… got back to being rich and spoiled, unemployed lady. It was obvious that the kind of job they both would agree on was probably the one that would require minimum work with maximum salary, and concerning our project it was… almost the
A Kissing Spell Gathering confidence
After Grace and I convinced the girls to host the show that we were about to produce I left more at ease. I could finally take my mind off of work for a while and focus on practicing magic. I read the rest of the book that Sister gave me and already learnt a lot.I felt like I was closer to make objects move at my will… using wind power, of course. I reorganized Grandma's herbal garden, making all the plants grow faster and making flowers bloom, hoping she wouldn't kill me for it. I even thought of texting her and telling her about it, but then I figured it was much safer for me to let her see it after she comes back…The one element I wasn't able to control, no matter how I tried was – fire. Suddenly, I wondered if Immara could control fire before she was burned at the stake. If she did that would mean that one of the abilities my soul had, was gone because of Immara's cruel fate. It didn't sound fair at all.In all of the stories about some
A Kissing Spell Sent away...
My heart stopped, I couldn't breathe. I stood there staring at Samil blankly praying in my mind that he would fast deny his own words. If the woman looking at me right now was his current secretary, did it mean that I…“Am I… fired?” I mumbled petrified.“Of course not,” Samil smirked, “I thought that you should have more time to handle the production details and focus on the marketing project. Emma will take your place, and you will have your own office and new position. Take it as a promotion…”My face became expressionless. I felt helpless, everything within me screamed, my insides were boiling, yet all I could do was to stare at him like I entered some non-cognitive state.“You seemed upset,” Samil chuckled, “But you didn't like the office work anyway, did you? Now, you will get back on doing something creative, just like you wanted to.”My mimic muscles formed a f
A Kissing Spell Let the show begin!
An hour before the meeting Grace came to my office. We had to get ready to present our project in the most glamourous way possible. I kept reading all of our notes over and over again, although I had it all memorized for more than a week. I was nervous, and overwhelmed by incredible amount of emotions concerning Samil. I was torn, almost like I broke up with a boyfriend minutes before some important exam, my mind was a mess.“Wow… your place is amazing!” Grace obviously saw mainly pros in that situation, “You should be jumping for joy because of your unexpected promotion… But I can see you're not happy at all, right?” she sighed.“I feel like I'm on exile. Even though, this place looks great, and for the first time in my life I am someone's boss, I can only feel like I'm merely acting here, because I don't deserve it all…” I whined.“But you do! You are brilliant, you know about production much more
A Kissing Spell Working overtime
I spent the first hour of sitting alone in my office cursing at Samil's ridiculous demand. Then I listed the number of shows that would be featured in our program and started imagining what the scenes could actually look like. It was all about guessing. I had to make right predictions and be prepare for every outcome. Until now, Grace and I were ready to act whenever something unexpected would occur, yet neither of us was prepared to think of all the situations beforehand, we made certain presumptions, that was it.I decided to write down 5 to 10 possible variables for each episode. Of course, there were then 3 to 5 short parts of each episode, which made me write somewhere between fifteen to fifty possible scenes and dialog drafts. There were twelve episodes planned for now, which gave me… the hell lot of work!I thought I was going to die when I finished writing the complex script for the second episode. I crawled out of my fancy office to grab at least a choc
