NIRELLE

"We've slept in a room together before," he said nervously, and even though I want to counter him, he is right.

"You are right, but both times you sat on the couch while I slept on the bed," I reply, and he nods nervously. The silence between us is lingering, and I don't like how it is ruining the moment. "Let's not think about it for now; let's just have fun." I want to sound nonchalant even though I am not sure if it is working.

"Sure." I don't know if he is agreeing with me or if that is his way to get me off his back. I move to the stove and boil water for the noodles. I cooked it, and once it was ready, I brought it to the foldable chairs he had set up and dropped it on the stool in front of us.

"This looks delicious," he murmurs, trying to act normal, but the awkwardness lingering in the air is palpable.

"Why is this so awkward?"

"Because you pointed out what we would have to face later," he said, and I groaned. This was my fault; we had been having such a wonderful day,

  • NIRELLE   BEFORE THE WORLD WAKES

    LUCIENThe knocks on the door now are too urgent compared to the ones from last night. I gently wake and look around, seeing Nirelle still lying in my arms as we had fallen asleep last night. She looked too peaceful with her thick black hair beautifully sprawled across the bed.I stare at her, ignoring the urgency of the knock at the door. I know that whatever Theo wants to say won't be what I want to hear, and I want to savour this moment as much as I can. I look at the clock, and it is just a few minutes after six. We had barely gotten any sleep, and all hell had already broken loose outside. "How can anyone think of treating this angel this badly?" I ask myself gently as I stare at her.My conclusion is that everyone in the Thamore and Wolfe families is just pure devils who managed to possess a human because there is no way they would think of hurting her when she looks this ethereal. She had looked like an angel that stepped down right from the day she stepped in here with all of

  • NIRELLE   IF THE WORLDS BURNS

    LUCIENI keep tossing in bed. Nirelle had shown me the text that Cassian sent her after we said goodbye, and I can't help but think about what he must mean by that. Did he know my identity, or was this just bluffing? Considering all I know about him, I am really sure he won't be bluffing just like that. What did he know? I glance at my digital clock by the bedside and see how the time, 2:47 am, shone back at me. I have a meeting with some people tomorrow morning, meaning I have to wake up early, and yet I still cannot bring myself to fall asleep.I hear a soft knock on the door; it is too faint to be coming from my room, but it comes again, and I frown. Who would come to my door at this time, and why? I know that Theo can't come at this time, except if it were an emergency, and maybe it was lack of sleep that made me think I was hearing things. The knock came again, this time louder, so I got up and walked to the door."Nirelle?" I ask, and she looks up at me, shocked. "What are you d

  • NIRELLE   BLUSH AND BLUE

    NIRELLEWe walk around the house, and he has more rooms than he could use. If he had twelve children, the house would be quite sufficient to house them without any child feeling cheated. The thoughts of children made my cheeks redden with embarrassment. I had been so adamant about not having any children, and now I was thinking of it? What kind of double-minded person was I?"You are blushing a whole lot; do you like the house that much?" Lucien asked, and I looked away because I was not expecting him to notice. How did he notice that?"I am not," I lie, the lie rolling off my tongue easily."If you say so," he says, and I nod. We walk through the house, and then once we are done with the accessible floors, I am ready to get back to my room for the day."I am sorry to have pulled you away from your busy day to give me a tour," I say, stopping at my door."Why do you seem eager to get rid of me?" he asked, and I wish I could tell him that I did not want this moment to end, but I did no

  • NIRELLE   ONE-POT MEMORIES

    NIRELLEI had come in to cook to take my mind off going back to the kiss I had shared with Lucien, but he had waltzed into this place to kiss me once again. How was I to survive? It would be replaying for days on end in my head. He tugs on my lower lip as though it were something that was giving him some kind of strength. His hand drops from my wrist and circles my waist. My brain is screaming at me; we should not be doing this here, in the kitchen, where anyone can walk in and see.I pull away at the thought of that, and he looks at me, breathless, with his eyebrow going up. "Why?" he raps gently. I saw his chest heaving as he spoke."Anyone can walk in and see us," I respond, almost not believing that he was asking me that. Why did I pull away? I don't remember giving him such a freeway with kisses that he had gotten so bold as to do them twice a day."In my house?" he asked, and it clicked. This was his house. "I can do whatever I want, whenever I want in your house," he adds, and

  • NIRELLE   A SOFT PLACE TO LAND

    LUCIEN"And you are telling me that you told her that your name was Timothy Verlice because...?" Theo sounded more uninterested than I would have thought him to be, which was strange."I did not want you to be shiced when you come home to her calling me Timothy," I replied, smacking my lips joyfully. She had been the one to pull away from the kiss, and when she walked away, even though it was quickly, I could tell she was just overwhelmed and did not mean to escape."And you had to call me over at work because?" He asked, taking his earlier tone, and I am confused. "I mean, you could have waited for me to get back first, he added, and I can imagine him rolling his eyes."I just wanted you to know," I add lowly and slowly. Why was he reacting this way? Wasn't he the one who had been pushing for us to end up together? What then was this again?"Okay, got it," he was snappy as if something had happened. He wanted to talk, but it was almost as if he was holding himself back."Theo," I cal

  • NIRELLE    TIMOTHY

    NIRELLEAfter breakfast I make my way to Lucien's study; with one knock I let myself into the room, and he lights up upon seeing me as if we had not just parted a few moments ago."What are you doing here?" he asked, shocked to see me."I am here to see Mr. Vexley. Is he in?" I ask, and he tilts his head, squeezing his face as if he were thinking about what I had just asked. "If he isn't in, then I can just come back another time.""Well, if you are here for Mr. Vexley, then I am afraid you might just have to come back another time, but if you want to see Lucien, then I can assure you that he is in here," he said. I did not even think of him responding that way when I asked the question, but I liked it."Are you okay?" I walk to the table and stand on the other side of it."I know that Cassian will be coming for us soon, and I am not sure if I know the way to protect you.""Remember I told you this just a few days ago." I pause and tap on the table gently. "Side by side""Sure," he lea
