DELILAHHe kisses me softly, holding the side of my face. I keep my eyes shut, enjoying the moment, devouring it to the depth of my heart which pounds loudly inside. Our lips mould together and he caresses the side of my waist while kissing me passionately, taking my breath away. I hold his face, my fingers trembling a bit but I am not nervous. After the heated kiss, he pulls away and then pecks my cheeks one by one. His love language is my favourite. It is like he cannot stay away from touching me. He then looks at me, pushing a strand of my hair behind me, tugging it on my ear. "Want to go out with me today?" He asks, keeping our faces close to each other so that his hot breath hits my lips. "We're somewhere near Arizona, no?" I ask, remembering the time he took me through the car and I asked him about the place. "Yes, baby. But soon we are going to move to Las Vegas." He reveals and I frown at that. I did not know about that. And I am still thinking the same after knowing tha
DELILAHAs I regard the view of Arizona from such an altitude, I cannot help but look at the view with awe outcome. My lips are narrowly parted but I do not care. The view is too stunning to be looked at with a poker face. I cannot do that. To look at this look without any wonder on one's face can only be absurd, besides, I do not want to dishonour the look by keeping my face expressionless. This place is also one of the places created by God, which comes out to be beautiful, spacious and amazing. The time is sunset. It is not dark yet, but still, the shadow has covered half the sky. I can see these stars that are dispersed far and wide in the sky and from this height, it is as if I can touch them. It seems as if they are very close to me. There is very little distance between us. But I cannot keep in my heart the impossible desire to hop and compress them in my fist. I do not want to die in such a hurry, come on! Think how funny would be the news in which it would be communicated th
Among the silence that prevailed around her, enshrouding her haven with peace, the sudden interruption shook her to the core.The doorbell rang, signaling her about someone's appearance at the door.Her eyes stared blankly at the door of her room as she huffed, thinking who would be there at this hour.She bent a little as her hair dangled by her shoulder. She grabbed her jacket and put it on before she walked downstairs to open the door for the person.The silence was spread around her house as the visitor didn't knock twice. She was home alone, expecting nobody by her side, but as her father had many partners and guests visit him from time to time, she thought it would be one of them.However, her father wasn't even home.The sound of her footsteps could be heard as she walked downstairs, holding the railing.Another time the visitor interrupted her and she had no other way than to reply loudly, “Yeah, just coming!” as she walked to the door.She opened the door slightly and found a
DELILAH"Hm?" His brow arches up, daring me to deny him. I keep looking at him blankly, my mind filled with numerous thoughts. I cannot give my mobile to him because he is going to call my father and probably force me to have a normal conversation with him and in the midst of all that, he wants me to ask about his current location so they can get what they want. Movies are indeed different from reality. I cannot bear this shit for long, I swear. If they could guarantee me that they would not do anything to my dad, maybe I would have worked upon their commands but now, seeing that they have hit me and threatened me with force, I cannot expect something soft for my father. "Girl, are you sleeping with your eyes open?" He asks sarcastically and I resist the urge to roll my eyes hard. I know they would not be able to bear that bitch look on my face. "No," I say quietly. "Your mobile?" Does he think that I will tell him everything? Does he think after whatever he has to me, I am going
DELILAH"You can't do that! Look, we've nothing to do with you!" I say through the mobile that it is still ringing near my chin. I ignore that ringing tune, looking up at him. "Oh? What do you know about what we're going to do with you?" His eyes squint as he takes a step in my direction, not close enough to scare me with that proximity. "You'll hurt him," I say and he nods. "Sure I will. But we won't kill him, you should be grateful for that." He shrugs like this is normal. Hurting someone cannot be normal, how could he behave so casually about that? "Still?" I do not even realize that I am pleading with him through that vulnerable sound. The color of his orbs turns darker as he stares at me as if I stole something from him. I look down, mumbling, "I don't want you to hurt him. He's my dad, of course!" Of course, this is the top reason why I am not ready to tell them anything. Why would I want them to hurt my father? My dad is innocent, I know. They are lying because this is wha
DELILAHSitting on the stairs outside the church, I take a deep breath. There is no one here near me. There is a main road away from the church, due to which there is not much noise here. There are also many trees around the church, due to which there is a lot of coolness here. There are also trees on the side of the stairs, due to which there is a shadow on my head. I am glad that I did not need to roast under the sun in this rotting heat. After running for a long time, I found a better place where I would be able to keep myself safe for a while. I can't thank the Lord more for the refuge this city church has given me. I am blessed to be here outside the Lord's temple right now. I am not completely alone. I sigh and pull the mobile out of my jeans pocket. I dial dad and he picks up the call on the first ring. "Delilah, how are you?" He asks as soon as I put the screen near my ear. "I'm safe, dad. For now," I whisper the last two words, looking down. Another sigh escapes my lips
DELILAH"Delilah, switch off your mobile and remove the sim card. Even if they don't have your contacts, they can still trace your location." I do as he says. I switch it off and then remove the sim cards. He extends his palm and I know I have to put them there. "What will you do to them?" I ask while giving them to him. He glances at me over his shoulder before he speaks, "I'll make it harmless so you could use it. You know that gadgets are a boon and they can also become a curse as well." Oh, I know that. I give him the mobile as well which he puts in the drawer and the ride after that is silent. I do not talk to him on the way and he also does not say anything after that. Well, this is fine for me because my mind is still thinking about my father. It means they told the truth that my father deceived them. But still, I am not ready to leave his side. Who does? I mean I know this is wrong, standing for wrong is wrong but he is my father. I will inform him of every possible thing
DELILAHIt is eleven o'clock at the night and I still can't sleep. I have been working tirelessly to sleep and I never thought I would need to put in a lot of effort to sleep. Sleeping was never a very difficult thing for a person like me. I am one of the most tired girls in this world at night. I can beat even Nobita in sleeping but not tonight. For a moment I thought that maybe I did not work hard enough today, while I ran for about one and a half hours and even after coming to Salazar's residence, I could not comfortably stay in one place in the house but started inspecting this house. I still have pain in my legs but my brain does not even have time to think of the pain. I am thinking only of my father. He said that he will come here soon but I am very scared. My father is a simple man and we have not even seen guns anywhere except in the hands of the police. In such a situation, how will we be able to face those goons? Police! Oh yes! We can take the help of the police. But
