"So, what's up?" Starr asked Magnus when they both got to the sitting room and were settled.
Maguns sighed, letting his shoulders fall as he replied, “I haven’t mustered up the courage to do so yet.”
The ride was quiet. Starr was trying her hardest not to 'think too much'. She sat quietly, her head resting on her elbow, her gaze fixed to the road. She was awfully quiet, Chris felt it was better to stay quiet also. He didn't want to ruin anything at all. He felt they had a great night ahead of them, and Starr's mood was very unpredictable, so he didn't want to ruin it with the slightest thing.
MATURE WARNING!The date went fine, or so did Chris think. But, Starr had retreated and recoiled by the time they were on their way back home. She was back to how she was when they were on their way to the restaurant, as quiet as a mouse. Not wanting to ruin things, Chris also kept shut, driving in absolute silence.It wasn't long before he was pulling at her place, parking. He had gotten out, so as to quickly move around and help her out. But, Starr didn't give him the chance, again. "I wanted -" Chris had started, but was immediately cut off by Starr's words."Nah, it's aight," she said, keeping it short.She began to walk slowly to her door, letting Chris catch up with her, after he had locked his car door. They still hadn't really said anything. Chris wasn't so sure if he had messed up or not. He hadn't said anything, so it was most definite that he hadn't done anything wrong. But, he sti
MATURE WARNING! (MILD)Starr might have not said it out loud, or even fully accepted it. But, she knew things weren't the same with Chris at all. She was letting go, bit by bit. The way they had exploded, while staring into each other's ey
Magnus couldn’t hold his laugh, as he laughed hard. Crackling. “Did I, maybe… interrupt something?” he asked in between laughter, intentionally wanting to spite Starr.Starr groaned so lowly, one might have mistaken it f
Starr was fine. She could swear. As long as she could keep herself busy and not give herself a chance to think about what had happened, she was totally fine. After all, she hadn’t started falling for him yet, right?She woke up the next day, immediately got dressed and off to work. She knew she had a busy day at work, and would have no time for thoughts or unnecessary things. She didn’t have any meeting that day, but she had quite a ton of paperwork to attend to. She made Amber know she didn’t want to be disturbed, except it was regarding business – strictly business.Magnus hadn’t come to see her at all, so it gave her more work time. She covered a lot, and was almost done, when Magnus finally landed. For lots of reasons, she felt glad by his presence. “Been busy?” she asked him, with a smile as she wiggled her pen between her fingers.Magnus smiled, nodding. “Working on Chris’ project,” he said, takin
"Answer me Ma'am," Magnus said with a firm voice, causing Starr to freeze. Magnus was frowning. A deep frown. He knew what Starr had been through and why she was like that, but he also knew Chris and knew he had honest intentions.Starr didn't reply, letting her face fall as she looked at her almost completed work on her desk."Starr Hart," Magnus called her sharply, causing her to quickly look up at him. "Did you hurt Chris, one more fucking time because of your insecurities?" he asked firmly.Starr simply shrugged, not wanting to get verbal with him in any way.Magnus couldn't hold his anger as the day of how she cried like she was going to cry out her soul because of a useless man, slipped into his mind like a reminder. He felt pity for her, but he couldn't tell her or show it. But, he relaxed, thinking of a better way to handle the matter. He knew she had been through a lot, but he also w
Magnus had his head on Valentine's chest, both of them cuddled up and unclad beneath Valentine's duvet. They had been there for a while, simply enjoying their presence and silence, until Magnus decided to break it off. "How is he?" he had asked Valentine, who quickly picked on, then sighing."Not that good, honestly," Valentine replied Magnus. "Even though he keeps on saying he's fine, whenever I ask him, he still acts like he isn't. He doesn't go out anymore, won't pick his calls or reply to any messages. He looks like a person who isn't taken care of, in any way." He sighed. "He also won't talk about what happened."Magnus felt his heart sunk, while Valentine felt extremely down. They both wanted to help Chris, but they both didn't know how to. "She's so scary, I can't even walk up to her and talk to her," Magnus said with a sigh, snuggling Magnus the moreMagnus chuckled, adjusting himself to a comfortable state in Va
Soon, Chris' project was off and the launching was on. Starr hadn't wanted to go to the launch party, since she hasn't since Chris since he walked out of her apartment. She had told herself that she was fine and didn't need a man to be happy, but whenever she stayed at home, her mind alway managed to linger to him whenever she saw any spot he had stood or stayed before in her house. It made it almost impossible for her to sleep in her room, so she often slept in her guest room instead. Magnus had also been giving her space, also focusing on the project. He had been showing up at her office, just to say hi and check up on her, but he didn't bring Chris up at all and didn't talk about Valentine. They were doing fine like that.For some reasons, she was yet to agree to, Starr found herself at Chris's launching party. It was a small gathering, but people had actually turned up for it. A lot of people, apart from the owner of the launching party. Starr had take
