Loveliest regrets 32. Late night stroll
Briar's POVMr. Wilson came on the right time, otherwise I don't know what would I have done without him. The entire situation was pretty much taken care of, by him but recalling how anxious we both were in that situation still leaves me in goosebumps. Though I had in my mind that I would give him his room keys back, the whole trip to the museum just went in my failed attempts to admire him from afar.Yes, knowing he was the prettiest existence in that building, I couldn’t focus on anything but him. As if his face was a beautiful combination of sunlight trapped under his gold skin, with his aura reflecting the surface of a moon. He shines unrealistically, emitting a ray of allure just like his perfect cologne. It was actually infuriating to admit how madly attracted I was to him.He owns that fragrance of his and knowing no matter how many whiffs I take off of his surroundings, I am never truly satisfied. I tried taking pictures of him, trying to remain in disguise but the camera didn
Loveliest regrets 33. Only for you
Gareth's POVA bleak midwinter’s day; it was hitting my skin a little too hard. The rimy lamps in the garden did make the ambience look pretty, but it was an indication of the chilly air covering the place. It wasn’t snowing, not according to the weather forecast that I read; it wouldn’t be snowing anytime soon. Not at least while we will be touring around the city.The trip was most probably going to last for the next entire week and I was looking forward to it. Night was the only time I rest, but I was unsettled. Was it because of her? Yes, obviously. I just can’t help but get irritated by the fact that she was laying in a room right adjacent to mine, just a few feet distance and yet she was horribly afar.I had a taste; just one bite and I’m sold to her. She’s unnecessarily addictive. Wish I could’ve fixed these issues up, but my heart crumbles like a glass. I can’t deny how I feel empty without her. I decided to take a few minutes and roam around the resort but I was already sneez
Loveliest regrets 34. Chaotic
Briar's POV Last night was tiring. We didn't sleep. Obviously, who sleeps on the trip, before dayspring when you hear the birds chirping? But I can’t deny how tiring it was. We were at the breakfast table in the hotel’s restaurant. I forced my eyes to open and encountered sleepy Bianca and Charlotte eating their food. Ariana's head was down resting on the table. She was sleeping. I refused to believe how we were supposed to get ready for our day in the next hour. We all looked high on air and water, because we didn’t drink, but we were close to collapsing on the floor any minute. Keeping the fork on the plate, I threw my head back, yawning. It was about a few seconds later when I felt something cold against my cheeks. I opened my eyes in shock and found Rosé sticking two freezing coke cans on my cheeks, laughing. I sighed, shaking my head. She gave me a kiss on my forehead, lifting my neck making me sit straight. "Don't throw your head back like that, you will have pain in your nec
Loveliest regrets 35. Friend
Gareth's POVPast midnight keyboard sounds could be heard as I was working on my laptop, when I suddenly heard some rustle outside the door. At first, I didn't care to see who's there thinking, 'Why do I care?' But realising the fact that I was the principal of a school and the bustle could be made by my students, made me jolt up.Shutting my laptop, I got up and was halfway to open my door, when the bell rang. I took a few more steps forward and lifted my hand up to open the gate. To my surprise I encountered something that I was expecting in the most unexpected situation."Gareth!" He said with a huge grin on his face.Dominic Anderson, a trusted associate, a business partner and most importantly, a close friend of mine. We shared many projects which led our friendship to get stronger, even after graduating from college together. Dominic is a kind of person who all the girls crush over, at least once in their lives. With his light golden-brown hair and a pair deep green ocean eyes a
Loveliest regrets 36. Pissed off
Briar's POVThe day was already started and we were in our room, getting ready. Mrs. Jones gave all the students exactly one hour and wanted us to report to her soon. Since the weather was a bit colder, I decided to wear my black short leather jacket, paired with black skinny jeans and a grey turtle neck, with my feet adorned with my black doc Martens lace up boots. The outfit looked minimalistic, but at the same time it wasn’t; a major reason why it was my favourite attire. I was almost ready when Ariana tapped my shoulder."Keep my phone in your bag, my nail paint is still not dry." She said making a cute face, as she blew air over her nails."I told you to put it earlier. See mine." I smiled, showing my red painted nails to her."Ugh! You know, I'm careless. Now, keep it, please?" She said pointing towards the table. I shook my head and picked her phone up. Suddenly our doorbell rang and Charlotte went to see it. The person who came in was one of our classmates, Jess, short for Jes
Loveliest regrets 37. The date
Briar's POV"Holy shit, he looks so hot!" Bianca whispered in Charlotte's ear."Shut up! He might hear you." Charlotte said pinching her shoulder lightly."Girls you ready? There's no teacher here, right now. We can talk to them for a few minutes, but we have to meet near the entrance after exactly twenty minutes. Got it?" Ariana said looking at her watch.Everyone nodded but I was still lost in the thoughts of Mr. Wilson getting mad at me, but Ariana tapped my shoulder bringing me back to reality."Got it Briar?!" She asked me and I nodded.'I knew exactly what to do, but in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do'- Michael Scott from The Office.Yes, that's me right now.That's me because I genuinely didn't know what I would do with that guy. It was like you were assigned some work, but you have no courage or interest to do it nicely. I walked in the guy's direction and soon saw him much clearer and nearer. Not going to lie, he was really cute. Just like any other handsome
Loveliest regrets 38. Can't hide it
Gareth's POVTemper is a glass that holds tons of stones, which have the tendency of moving and breaking this jar of patience. While I tried as hard to not be vexed, something inside me itched when I saw her with that guy. Almost as if losing something I never even had for myself to begin with, she eloped with him like dust in air.Was I angry? Yes, very.I knew very well that these girls would take advantage of Dom's words. So, I was alert about everything they were thinking and planning. As soon as we left the girls they went away with those boys, because no matter how swift they were, I could sense how far they could possibly go. I wouldn’t deny that a part of me shambled when I saw Briar’s friends talking to that group of guys, because as I assumed in my head, perhaps she was also a part of that conversation? I never saw her though.It was all good until I saw that boy holding Briar's hand and pulling her upstairs. Yes, I couldn't stand some other guy touching her, other than me.
Loveliest regrets 39. Promise
Gareth's POV"What?" I said as I was utterly shocked.I didn't expect this answer. More so, she likes me back? Meaning from past these days, she was also feeling the exact same way? Her heart also dropped every time she saw me? I also gave her butterflies? I was feeling like a teenager who has been asked out by his all-time crush. A tinge of embarrassment made it worse for me to imagine anything further.But I still couldn’t get over her answer and knowing this was not good added up to my unwillingness to question ahead. We simply couldn't be a thing; we can't date each other. I can't let her stay with me, just because I like her. But she likes me too, which just made it worse. Remembering what Dominic said earlier and knowing that my decision would affect her present and future. Moving ahead simply meant ruining her life."I like you too." She repeated without making eye contact, I could sense her blushing."But we can't date each other." I said bluntly and suddenly her expressions c
