23 I'm glad it was you
After the long meeting about the death of one of their business partners as well as the fact that the wolves are making their move, Denzell felt tired. He suddenly wants to visit the Pisces and Gem cafe that he went to last time, it is not like he favored the service or wanted to have a coffee. It was just his feet that brought him to the front of the store. Since it was a bit late when he got off in front of the office, he expected that the store was about to close.
“What coffee would you like Sir?” He was greeted by the last staff remaining in the cafe.
“None, you may continue closing. I was just actually looking around.” he smiled at the young man who was brightly looking at him.

“Miss Barrett, wake up.” He gently touched the loose hair on her face and that made her frown a bit later she slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome face and a fair of those pretty grey eyes. “I!” she exclaimed, how could she have fallen asleep with the person who helped her? She was so flustered for being neglected. “I think you were exhausted from the events tonight so I let you rest.” How can he be so considerate of her was on Barrett’s mind. “I’m sorry, did I sleep long?” She looked out the window and saw that they had already arrived in front of her apartment, with this she felt more apologetic about sleeping. “It’s fine, we just arrived a minute ago.”

As if her body was like a log, she kept her eyes covered with her hand when the sunlight blinded her. Still blankly lying on her bed she turns to look for her phone and sees that the time is already past eight in the morning. She got a class at nine, if she got up now she might be able to make it to half the lecture. Every move she makes is slow and it's like her own body is unwilling to cooperate, but she has to attend the class and Barrett never misses any of it. Sleep still lingering on her head, she lazily grabs her bag and phone as she opens the door of her room a tall build of a man greets her. “I thought you were dead, not moving at all.” He greeted her, it still had to absorb and sink it in her head when Maynard reached out his hand and cupped her face.

“Ah! Ahh!” her trembling screams echoes in the hallway of the whole floor. Barrett before her is a scene that makes her stomach turn upside down and she vomits. The horrible scene makes her sick, Maynard who looks back at her quickly grabs her as she loses her consciousness. Blood. Maynard frowns as the stinky smell of blood lingers on his nose. A minute later the owner of the apartment who came running upstairs called the police to inspect the room. “It is animal blood not human.” said the police who are in charge of the case. “How did you know? There’s a lot of mess inside.” It was the old woman who is the owner of the apartment. “Apparently, we saw some animal fur around, and a feather so we guess it was a mixture

The investigation was later on passed with the mafia organization and the lead is just like what they were thinking. The perpetrators are not only humans, the events are misleading them. The one who follows Barrett the night after her shift, the shadow lounging around the apartment and the dirty mess in her apartment are all different. "It doesn't make sense." Irvin uttered to the twins, "How can a simple human like her who has lived like a ghost suddenly get targeted like this?" "This is really suspicious, from the first time I saw her there's something different." Irvin continued. "What are you implying then?" Maynard raised his brow to ask the bold suspicion of his cousin. "Remember the meeting w

The night after that incident, Barrett never came back to the apartment, she only collected a few clothes and other important documents and just stayed over the unit that Faera had arranged for her. She also submitted a resignation letter to her part time job.“It is lonely that another employee has to leave again.” the duty manager spoke as she handed the clearance form, it was her last duty.“I’m sorry for that Sir, it’s just something that happens sometimes.” She felt sorry, even though she is a part timer, the working environment in the diner was good.“Well, just like you said, things happen. It’s just a pain in the neck to hire again.” he complains.“If I were to hire, I need to find so
Barrett: Heart of Promise 29 The woman of the rumors
It was another lazy afternoon, just right after her morning class she went back home. Since she resigned from her part time job, she is as free as air. She checked on her internship application at the IIC website. “It's still for review.” She pondered how long it took to know if she passed or not, so she then tried looking for other job sites. She still has enough savings and her last paycheck from her last job. “If I have to take a new job, I better buy clothes for the interview.” Since her last job was at a diner, she didn't have to wear formal clothes, only a collared shirt and jeans was what she wore during the interview process. “Let’s have a look at the boutiques.” Deciding to go out, she wore a pair of her worn out sneakers, her face grimacing at the thought tha
Barrett: Heart of Promise 30 A sweet cup for you
The cafe seems to be on a holiday, it was already past noon and they haven’t even opened up the door, the chairs were still left on top of the tables and there were only the three of them. Denzell noticed every single move that she made, the way she glances around and when she stops as if she’s thinking deeply. To answer her curiosity he spoke, “The cafe is not opening today, we are here to make new products for the menu.” He explained smoothly to her, without making her think that he sees right through her reaction. “A new product!?” Her adorable reaction puts a smile on his face, with Louis looking at the Dragon King loosened in front of the lady seems to be so proud and expectant that these two are compatible. Denzell isn’t supposed to be at the store and he is not responsible to do the task of making a new product, howe

Her scent sends an exhilarating stimulus to his emotions, he never thought the long gone feeling will be pulled on by this frail woman. She is innocent, she has nothing to do with it. It was you, who gave in and got yourself drawn. It is not enough for him, slowly the tip of his nose trails down from her ear down to her nape. The sweet scent and the mixed sweat from her heated body awakens the long dead emotion in him. He wants more. “A-uhmm..” she slowly gasps as the ticklish sensation at her nape makes her knees weak. She is barely hanging on and her left hand holds on to the arms wrap around her waist for support.
