Chapter 20: Rose
Rose

I feel myself starting to melt from everyone's stares so I glanced up at him but he showed no care about it and just looked straight ahead. I suddenly looked at the space between us. We're too close therefore I moved a bit far from him. I thought that he wouldn't care too but I was wrong, he noticed it and moved closer to me instead.
I was about to distance myself from him again when he ordered me in his deep and strong voice, "don't."
"But..."
"Don't listen to them. Listen to me." He said softly.
I bit my lower lip and followed him. We stayed silent until we reached the supermarket. He faced me and said,
"You know what you'll be searching for. I'll take care of the rest. Just hurry up and I'll meet you at the counter." He reminded me and left early by myself.
I got a cart and started searching for the ingr

She's making her movements slow, trying to get Neal's attention but he is just looking down at the goods in front of him.Noticing that it's getting a bit obstreperous around us and a lot of eyes watching us, I peeked through Neal's side and observed that the numbers of people falling in line are multiplying. I furrowed my eyebrows, noticing that most of them are females and are now gaping at Neal.Some are drooling over him and the others are trying to create some noises like fake coughing to get his attention but it didn't work. Even the gay bagger was doing the same thing as the others.Neal was just ignoring all of them though. It feels like, he has his own world and he's enjoying it. I moved closer to him. Well, seeing him in his current state, he won't notice a
Ready or Not Chapter 22: Play What?
Play What?• • • • •"I'm so bored." I sighed as I lay down on the floor, spreading my hands and feet and moving them up and down, like a butterfly.It's raining cats and dogs outside and I'm not in the mood of doing something else rather than laying down. It's making me sad since the rain will probably keep pouring and we can't go out today to buy something or go roam around somewhere.But I'm guessing that it still wouldn't happen since we bought a lot yesterday and also, I'm too tired of dealing with those vicious stares and gossips.Ugh, I should probably just sleep for the whole day. I love sleep so it shouldn't be a problem."Watch tv, then." He said without looking in my direction.As always, Neal is still sitting on his office swivel chair, getting very preoccupied with some business of his. He's always busy. Doesn't he have time for himself?

His forehead creased at my unbelievable suggestion."What are you, a five year old?" I rolled my eyes at him. "No killjoys, please. Let's go." I pulled him by the hand. He didn't complain and stayed quiet as I drag him out of the room.We went outside. He stopped by the door and looked at me, his emerald green eyes searching my face, hoping that what I had said earlier was merely a joke. But sadly, it wasn't.I didn't wait for him and ran outside. Looking up, the sky was a mixture of gray and black, the colors that I once hated the most. It reminded me of pain and mourning. Where my rainbow had decided to never show itself to me again. But today...today seems different as a smile crept up my face

Hot Choco• • • • •I want to slap myself for thinking about something so dirty and now my eyes were still glued on him. Shaking my head, I tried to forget about it and continued checking him out instead.What can I say? He's hot.I continued to relish at the sight without noticing that he was still standing there for a while now, displaying and flexing himself at me. He playfully smirked at me and so I raised my hands and covered my eyes."Put on some clothes, please." I scolded him. I peeked through my fingers as I watch him making his way to the closet. He got out a sleeveless t-shirt and shorts, also his underwear, and went inside the comfort room again.I lay on the bed, silently cursing myself for doing something so sinful. "Omg, Kira. You little shit. Now he'll think that he is so hot that his whole body is burning in lava." Well, it's true th

He was wearing a black hoodie; his face was all black and he was holding a very long ax.My feet started to feel numb after running for hours. It went on and on and I'm already running around in this seemingly endless empty black space in circles.If this is a nightmare, I hope it would be gone!I really want to wake myself up but I couldn't. The nightmare is preventing me from doing it.My mind was in total mess that I suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. Oh crap, I can't stand up! It feels like something heavy was weighing me down, making my limbs numb from the pain it was causing me like it was real.On impulse, I glanced back at

Curiosity• • • • •After all, it surely is still rare seeing him like this so without a second thought, I grabbed the opportunity and did as what he had told me to. It was not long after time has passed and he was fast asleep."Cutie." I smiled at him. His action was so precious that I want to just protect him from anything bad that could taint his innocence - which is already impossible since he has already chosen a path, but even so, I want to bring back the genuineness that he once had. If he doesn't want to, then I'll find and do it my way.I placed both of my hands on my chest and squeezed myself more into him. He moved closer to me too and tightened his arm that was wrapped around me as I close my eyes and fell asleep.• • • •"Old man? Where are you?" My voice echoed through the big and empty space while I

I placed my hands on the thingy, imitating the move that I have seen from movies, and pressed it smoothly.It made a loud sound, making me spun around to check the door and sighed in relief when I don't see him there.I pressed another again and stopped when I've realized that something is missing. "Emotions!" I blurted. Oh right, I almost forgot about it.I laughed at my forgetfulness and suddenly remembered Kousei from Your Lie in April.He was beyond amazing even though the music he played were all classical songs which I'm not totally familiar with but still, the way he played the piano, it was full of emotions. He looked like a rockstar. He was banging his head from different angles and pressing his hands on the piano like he was drumming. It felt like something inside me has connected with Kousei while watching hi

But maybe what he really meant is the other meaning that I'm still trying to understand?"Thank you. That's...wonderful." That was all I could say. Sighing out of disappointment, he stood up from his seat and looked at me deep in the eyes as if trying to tell me something through staring that he can't possibly say out loud but failed in the process.He sighed once again. I tilted my head to the side, confused by what he was trying to convey to me."You are still confused. But not for long. I'll show you so that you'll understand.""Understand what? Why don't you just tell me? I'll listen.""You'll listen but you won't understand. You'll have doubts if I would tell you so it's best if I'd show it to
