Sweet Temptation Chapter 15
If you can't beat fear, just do it scared. - Glennon Doyle Melton.|I R I S|Surprisingly, I woke up in my bed in the morning and for the life of me I can't remember how I ended up here. I don't think Rowan carried me up here since I know he sleeps like a dead horse and he was already asleep when I, mistakenly, fell asleep on his side. I don't even know how I managed to fall asleep with him sitting right beside me. That was so freaking stupid and careless of me. What if I had annoyed him in sleep and wouldn't have woken up today. I vanished the thought from my mind as soon as it entered my mind. Even the AC in the room was on with a warm blanket covering me. No one except Rowan and Aleeza know that I sleep with AC and blanket on. Since, Rowan can't be the one does that mean it was Aleeza? I laughed on the image that created in my mind of Aleeza carrying me to my room. Sure the girl loves me but she would rather kick my ass to wake me up than carry me t

I knew I was playing with fire when we met, so I couldn't blame you when I got burned. - Bridgett Devoue.|L O R E N Z O|It was 11 in the morning when I called Lucas and Mason in my room to proceed with my idea. While Mason was standing in an attentive position in front of me, Lucas on the other hand was standing like some wild animal who ran out of his cage just now. The hairs on the top of his head were messy enough to become a nest for birds but I decided not to point it out. "What are we here for?" Mason asked, seriously. Lucas hummed, agreeing with Mason's question as a long contagious yawn escaped him. I rolled my eyes at his state and turned my focus back to the better presentable one, Mason. "It's time we talk about the most important matter in our hands." I said dragging the coversation while waiting for her to pass right by my room. "Why isn't Rowan here then?" Lucas complained like a fucking kid as he plopped down on the soft co

His eyes are so intense I want to look away.... or never look away. I can't decide. -Kaise West. |I R I S|End her once Aleeza leaves. No, I'll be the one to end her. Yeah, three days later. You know what they say about a person like you? Curiosity killed the cat.The sentences kept on ringing in my head again and again, on repeat when he left the room. His presence was still lingering around somewhere with the threat he gave me. The fear I thought was done consuming me, engulfed me again as my heart beat wildly at the terror of dying. When his presence on the one hand scare the hell out of me, there is always this weird sensation spreading through my body. I think I am going insane. Yeah, staying with a person like him would do that to you. The first thing I did when he walked out of the room was locked it from inside. Right now, I am settled on the bed with my knees pressed against my chest as his words kept ringing in my head. I

Everyone has their own ways of expression. I believe we all have a lot to say but finding ways to say it is more than half the battle. - Criss Jami. |L O R E N Z O|She is shit scared all the time and this tells me how close I am to achieving what I want. She rarely comes out of her room and avoid crossing paths with me at any costs. It always makes me feel satisfied how I am succeeding in my plans. "Are you ready, Zo?" I heard Rowan ask from the other side of my door. It was club night, today. All 6 of us were going out, as Aleeza wished, to club tonight. Though, one is being taken against her will. "Just give me a min." I answered him and I heard footsteps fading away as he gave me what I asked for. I was wearing a black shirt whose sleeves are rolled up and paired the shirt with black narrow pants. I stared at my reflection in the mirror before nodding in satisfaction. I walked out of my room in the black loafers as I headed downstairs

And, the world has become merely an unknown landscape where my heart can lead nothing. -Alber Camus. |I R I S|Danger. Dressed in a black shirt with rolled up sleeves and same narrow pant, he look like danger. As if the danger himself stepped on the earth to meet me. His hands perfectly styled back with a lock of his hair falling down his forehead kissing his brows, he looked like the devil. A devil that both scares and excites me. While we waited for Aleeza to get down in a new dress, I looked everywhere in the huge mansion to avoid looking at him. Because I know I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off once they set on him.But despite every efforts to avoid him my eyes landed at him and I was surprised to see that he was already looking my way. A shiver ran down my spine in fear while my heart thumped louder against my rib cage with excitement. I wasn't lying when I said I am going insane. "Let's go," Aleeza said with a sour look dir

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. -Albert Einstein. |L O R E N Z O|She looked gorgeous, dancing without a care in the world. I know she is aware of my eyes on her yet she is dancing like she doesn't care. Like, it doesn't scare her, not anymore. And, I finally let the smile I was holding back from so long curve on my lips while watching her dance with joy. I know she was drunk and maybe it was playing a partial part in making her feel fearless but nonetheless she looked fearless and now I have finally witnessed how fascinating a fearless Iris looks, I know I am not going to stop until I get what I want. "She looks drunk." Rowan stated by my side as he sipped on his drink. "Fearless. She looks fearless." I corrected him with a victorious smile on my face as I watched her, mesmerized. "Is it what you wanted?" I heard Mason ask fr
Sweet Temptation Chapter 21
You can't hold onto one thing forever and not grow tired. The tighter you hold the more you would want to let go. Because it starts hurting. It gets tiring. Just like that, you don't stop being scared. You grow tired of being scared. -Lorenzo Ace Russo. |L O R E N Z O|I was wrong. We don't have two wasted people to handle, we actually have three of them. Aleeza.Rowan. And, Iris. All three of them dancing at the bar counter and refusing to step down on the floor. Mason isn't even bothered the least as he continues to stand by the counter watching me and Lucas struggle with three drunk morons. Lucas isn't exactly struggling if anything he is entertained and amused. He is enjoying himself as he watched Iris dance. "Zee, I am flying." Rowan commented with exaggerated expressions with his arms open in the air. Dumbhead. "I want to fly too." Aleeza pouted, crossing her arms against her chest eyeing Rowan with envious expressions. "Aleeza, get down

You are killing me. But you have a right to. Never have seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer or more noble thing than you. Come on and kill me. - Ernest Hemingway.|I R I S|The sunrays coming from the large glass window of the room fell on my face forcing me to open my eyes and wake up from the peace of sleeping. Rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands I rubbed the sleep away sitting on the bed. My head pounded with ache and I groaned. Holding my head in between my palms, I tried to get rid of immense pain, hurting me. It feels like someone is there inside my head poking nails in my skull. "Frick!" I cursed laying back down on the bed in pain. I tried to remember the cause of this headache and my mind travelled back to the memories of last night. We went to club and then I drank and danced and drank some more. Well, it is the side effects of drinking some more. I concluded in my head, closing my eyes trying to go back to sleep instea
