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
Loveliest regrets 40. My happy place
Briar's POVWhen I got inside the elevator, I saw myself in the mirror. My neck was covered with love bites, and my lips were puffy. I blushed as a ticklish sensation spread across my body. His liking of me still fascinates me. Is this a dream? Does the most fantastic and gorgeous man I've been crushing on likes me too? Even so, is that possible? And I still find it difficult to accept that he asked me first! I was really floating on cloud nine.I exited the elevator as soon as it opened. No one was in the lobby because it was late at night. Everything was extremely quiet. All I could hear as I went was the sound of my shoes hitting the ground. I ran back to my room since the silence and the chill in the air made me feel uneasy. It wasn't too far to the elevator, but for some reason I was finding it incredibly difficult to make the trip.My stride quickened, and I made it to our room without delay. After knocking, I saw that the door had already been opened. I hoped when I went inside
Loveliest regrets 41. Free day
Briar's POV It's been almost a week since our trip ended and it was quicker than expected. Time flew fast, I don't think I'd forget even a second of this entire trip. It was probably the best one ever. Most unforgettable one. Of course, it's memorable because I enjoyed so much, met Dominic and also started dating a handsome man. I know I was exaggerating about the last part. It has not even been a week since we started going out and he already has been giving me gifts. Yesterday, he got me my favourite chocolates, because I just randomly said that it's been long and I haven't had them. He takes care of little details and listens to everything I say. Though we usually don’t have much conversations, we are enjoying our time together. It was a new experience for me and I was liking it a lot. It's like he's making me fall in love with him even more, as every hour passes by. >> Well, it was another day and as usual I was excited to see my boyfriend. We all gathered in the assembly hall
Loveliest regrets 42. Midnight rain
Briar's POVDays have passed since we last truly interacted. His recent busyness has been primarily due to the yearly interschool and house tournaments. The literary club, the theatre, and other clubs were all involved in a lot of activities. The whole school was like a gigantic carnival, and we were all obviously having a good time. We either prepare for or hold competitions every day. As a result, everyone in the school is busy with something.It was late at night; I was still working on a project at my desk. Even though I still had time to finish it, I chose to do so today, because my drowsy baby form still hadn’t taken over; fortunately.I had some chocolate in my hand, which motivated me to finish my work without feeling drowsy or bored. I thought back to the day he handed me these chocolates as I licked my lips. He constantly asks me to use the random items he gives me so he can continue to get me even more gifts. For the past about four weeks of us dating, he has given me choco
Loveliest regrets 43. Sixteenth of December
Gareth's POVI can't help but admit that a strong scent of her in my sweatshirt is still present, but I don't mind. Last night, I kept my sweatshirt that she wore, close to me as I imagined how utterly blissful her presence would be. How wonderful it would be to sleep with her every night. I enjoy looking after her. I get delighted just thinking about spoiling her. I'm not sure how that's even feasible.I wouldn't be able to meet her because it was the weekend. I was working in my office, but I couldn't stop thinking about how I wouldn't see her face today, which upset me. Everything becomes so easy when she's in my reach, when I know I'd be able to hold her soon. I don't understand how she does that. How her presence feels the most peaceful place to be in. Touching her soft skin is so satisfying.Every time I consider her, I struggle with my identity. Am I acting appropriately? Am I stalling her future? Am I the correct person for her? 'The one' for her, am I?These questions seem to

Briar’s POV“Do you like churros?”“Hm?” He looked up at me, while I was leaning on his desk in front of him. Almost ten o’clock late at night and he was still working in his office. He usually asks me to hang out with him, even when he has work, which makes my heart warm.“We can make them together.”“You want to?”“Hmm.” I smiled and he chuckled.“You need to stop being so cute.” I could not help but chuckle when he poked my nose. “Have you made them before?” He asked.“What if I say no?”“Then I’ll have to order a pizza as well.” He said making me chuckle and continued, “ugh, I love making you laugh.”“Do you?” I said and made my way over to him, while he just watched my movement and after reaching near him, I sat on his lap. Wrapping my arms around his neck and noticing his arms circling around my waist like an automatic movement made me blush.“I actually love it more, when you do this.” He said and I kissed his cheek.“Oh, this is my favourite part.”“Really?” I said and kissed

Briar's POVSince it was the weekend, I was in the dorm. Never have I wanted a weekend to end so soon. However, this time was unique. I tried to meet him—but was unable to. I tried to see him—but was unable to. I kept checking my phone as I tried to get the will to text him but did not want to bother him. Why would he make time for me when he has so much else to do? Even though I know he cares for me, I do not want to bother him only because I missed him because he might be busy. A little too much.I sat on the desk, completing my history assignment because everyone had already submitted but Mrs. Jones had granted me two more days to submit my work because I was busy with other student council duties. Though I had time, I was determined to do my work before time as to maintain a good reputation in front of her.It had always been my utmost admiration for her that interests me in the subject even more. Perhaps my everlasting crush on her just never seems to stray me off my path. I stil
Loveliest regrets 46. Controlled life
Briar's POV"Are you crazy?!" Gretchen frowned at me. She clearly looked extremely annoyed.She was the one who knocked on the door and as assumed by my intuitions, she knew about me and Mr. Wilson's relationship. I wonder how? But if I ask her at the moment, she'd probably beat the shit out of me. Yes, she would, not even kidding. I had nothing to defend myself with, because no matter how much I try to normalize this, our relationship can never be accepted by people. At least not initially."Do you have any idea what you are doing?!" Gretchen asked angrily and my face was down in embarrassment. "Answer me, Briar! Your silence won't clear my confusion." Her voice reflected the motherly disappointment and sisterly concern.I struggled to find the right words to respond, but it was impossible. What was there left for me to say to her? Who is she to comment on my relationship, should I say? I would go ahead if I wanted her to scream and possibly murder me in the process. She was simmerin
