MasukLyraI didn’t give Davis an answer and he didn’t probe further, probably because he could already see it all over me. It was already late and I knew I had to be home soon before Zane. I know he would go to the bar first which was why I told his mom that we were going on a date. By the time I get home, he’d be back too or close and I can just come up with another excuse.“It’s late, we should head back now.” I said and Davis nodded.“When are we doing this again?” He asked and I just smiled.“Soon,” I chimed in and he didn’t argue. That kind of made me think a bit because why is he not pressing for me to give him a date. I didn’t dwell too much on the thought anyway. We headed back out and in no time, I was back in the car with his driver taking me home. I hurried upstairs and was so happy Zane wasn’t back. I crashed into the bed and streee reliving the date. It made me so happy and I blushed hard. I really can’t wait to do it again and I wish he insisted we fixed a time. That’s no
Lyra“Are we going somewhere else?” I asked when he wouldn’t drop me off as usual.“No, I’m taking you back home.” He replied and I looked at him just to be sure I heard right.“Wow, that’s new, you never take me back home.” I replied and this time he was the one who looked at me. He knows I was right so he couldn’t counter me. Usually when we go out together which is just a few times by the way, he drops me off to find my way home once we are done. I thought it was the same today but I guess it’s different after all.“Why? Don’t you want me to? I could drop you here if that’s what you want.” He let out and I just shrugged.“That’s also fine by me, I know my way home.” I chimed in and he went silent. For the next couple of minutes, he remained that way while I just scrolled through my screen until I suddenly heard him clear his throat.“So any plans for today?” He finally asked.“Uhm… yeah, I’m going out later in the evening.” I replied.“And you weren’t going to tell me if I didn’t
LyraI didn’t even know Zane was standing behind the door. I was done with the call and just went out to back to sleep. I opened the door and suddenly saw him there. The problem was he was leaning on the door with his full weight. Once I pulled, he lost his balance and fell. And I mean he fell really hard. He could not even get up and I had to use all my strength to pull his huge body up. That was when he realized he had hurt his hand. He fell on it and apart from the bruise, it was somehow broken too.“I didn’t think that’s something I can handle but let me get the first aid, wait here.” I said to him and then hurried away.I was soon back with the first aid and then started treating him. He didn’t say a word and just sat there, watching silently with this look on his face that I would have confused for love a week ago. Not anymore. I’m done making a fool of myself while he taunts and dangles the barest minimum in my face which I foolishly call love.“Thanks,” he simply said when I
ZaneI was consumed with deep jealousy and I just couldn’t keep calm anymore. She finally turned around and headed inside while I also turned and faced the door, waiting for her to come in. The door opened and she finally walked in, smiling like she had just won a lottery. I could tell that she was still drooling over whoever that was that came to drop her off. And to think the man looks handsome with a really nice built. He could even pass for a bodyguard, that’s how fit his body was. “Why are you just coming home and who was that man that just dropped you off?” I asked and that was when she looked up and noticed me. She actually jerked at first like she wasn’t expecting to see anyone there but she relaxed when she saw I was the one.“Ohh Zane, I didn’t know you were there. You’re back early today though, hope nothing is wrong?” She asked and I found my face tightening up. I wasn’t interested in whatever she was asking me but she didn’t seem to understand how angry I was. It’s even
Zane All through the day at the office, I couldn’t get the thoughts of Lyra out of my head. I kept imagining what her reaction would be when she walks into the room and sees what I planned for her. From the way she rehearsed yesterday, it was obvious she would be so excited. A smile lined my cheeks at the thought and that was when her call came in. She didn’t believe it was from me and wanted to confirm. Something softened in me as I heard the excitement in her voice, and a part of me wanted to just indulge her but I didn’t. The other part wouldn’t let me so I reminded her of the contract instead and warned her not to start having ideas in her head. I dropped the call and felt a heaviness envelope my whole body. I shouldn’t have done that and I know it too but I just didn’t want to be weak. I made the rules and I can’t be the one disregarding them. I shook off the heaviness but her thought never left me even after I had left the office in the evening. I didn’t want to go home yet
LyraOnce Rosemary left the room, I crashed back into the bed and screamed into the pillow. I was just too excited and didn’t want to scream the roof down.“So what was with the drama then?” I muttered under my breath as I replayed the scene from yesterday. He really acted the part so well because there was no way I ever imagined it would turn out this way.I was so convinced he was pissed at me and maybe he was, but then changed his mind at the office. Either way, I’m glad I got my ticket and the gifts too. I got out of bed and started preparing. It was still a couple of hours away but I wanted to look perfect like I always did. I’ve been in the news more often than usual lately and I know a lot of people will also be in my business tonight. And I’m sure going to give them something to talk about…The first thing I did was my hair. I washed it, did my magic on it and then let it dry before styling it.“Ohh Lyra, this is so pretty!” I let out as I admired myself in the mirror. The
