“No nothing.” I said while covering my mouth. Dylan on the other hand sighed and started the car engine.It had been 30 long minutes into the car ride, and Dylan’s silence hung heavy in the air, making the atmosphere unbearably awkward. Desperate to break the tension, I mustered up the courage to speak. “Um, your watch is pretty, where did you get it?” I stammered, my voice barely audible over the sound of the engine. I hoped my go-to conversation starter would work its magic, just like it did at those dull business parties.But instead, all Dylan could manage was a confused expression and a simple sentence or should i say word that was “huh?!” That’s all, My heart sank. No I got the watch from xxx place, you know what else places I had traveled, anything to keep the conversation going. But it seemed like this trick only worked on women.“The watch,” I said with a smile, curiosity tugging at me. The glimmer of the timepiece caught my eye, its polished silver reflecting the soft glow
“Daisy,” Mrs. Diana spoke, her knife slicing through the juicy fruits with a satisfying sound. “What kind of fruit do you like? Shall I cut them for you?” The room was filled with the sweet aroma of freshly cut fruit, making my mouth water. “I don’t have a particular favorite,” I replied, a smile playing on my lips. “I like everything.” Mrs. Diana’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “You, Daisy, you are so perfect. I was always surrounded by picky eaters,” she said, gesturing towards where Dylan and his father had gone.Despite the delicious distractions, we managed to finish the award dinner. Soon, Dylan and my son retreated to the study for what Miss Diana called ‘the bigness talk.’When I first saw Dylan’s parents at the rehearsal dinner, I anticipated encountering the stereotypical wealthy parents portrayed in N*****x dramas. I imagined the mothers offering money to the less fortunate girlfriends of their sons, only to have the girlfriend defiantly reject the offer and retaliate by t
Oh god, that guy is such a jerk. How can he say this to someone? He is so smooth with the flirting; I know he’s only doing this to annoy me! Ugh, I hate him, but why does my face can’t stop turning red?! What is wrong with me? I looked at myself in the mirror, my cheeks were all flushed, and I couldn’t keep my hands from trembling. Maybe I should take a shower. Maybe that will calm me down. Yes, that’s a great idea. I stepped into the shower and was greeted by the warm water cascading down, creating a soothing sound as it hit the tiles. The scent of Dylan’s male products filled the air, reminding me of him. Reluctantly, I realized I didn’t have any other options, so I decided to use them. After a 30-minute long shower, the water washed away my anxiety, leaving me feeling refreshed. As I looked at my wet clothes on the floor, panic set in. I didn’t have an extra pair to wear. Frantically searching, I found a bathrobe near the sink, its soft fabric providing some comfort as I wrapped i
DYLAN POVHer dark blue eyes widened. Guess I almost predicted her expression. Obviously nobody will think that the president of the most prestigious company in the world was a soldier before. Only if that day didn’t have occurred, I still would have lived my dream job, but most people think the opposite of this, they choose to live comfortably and wealthy like a billionaire than risking your life as a soldier for the country. I guess daisy will think the same.“yes its true. Most people dont know about this,” I replied with a sign.“Wow, why did you leave that job, then?” she said with disappointment.“what do you mean why you left? Ain’t you relieved that I left the job?” I said, with confusion. Every time I told somebody about this, they all were relieved that I left that job. I thought that Daisy would react the same way.“why would I be relieved? That seems like a super cool one, like a real life superhero. saving innocent people by risking your life. Thank you for doing that f
“Daisy, what happened to your lips?” Mr. Astor’s puzzled voice echoed in the room, the confusion evident in his tone. I glanced at Dylan, a smirk playing on his lips. He was such a jerk. The events of last night still lingered in my mind, his strange behavior leaving me baffled. And that kiss, oh, it was something else. It felt like a gentle caress to my soul, revitalizing me in ways I had never experienced before. But he took it too far, kissing me relentlessly for a solid half an hour. The exhaustion from the frantic preparations I had made to meet his parents had consumed me, and I couldn’t even recall when I drifted off into a deep sleep.As I stood there, my mouth hanging open, the room fell silent. I searched desperately for an excuse, but my mind drew a blank. Just as the awkwardness became unbearable, Mrs. Diana came to my rescue. Her voice cut through the tension. “Ron, let it go. Have your breakfast, you’re running late.” Her words offered a lifeline, even though I knew
It’s been a week since the parents’ visit. Since then, Dylan has been showing up at home early. I can hear the gentle sound of his footsteps as he approaches. He speaks to me with kindness now, and we have grown closer, almost like a couple. But he also playfully teases me more than before, making me laugh. His kisses are passionate and filled with urgency, as if there’s no tomorrow. Life feels good in these moments. However, amidst this happiness, I can’t help but feel guilty for Julian. I will have to explain everything to Julian when I find her again. I hope she can find it in her heart to forgive me. The weight of my actions burdens me, as I reflect on my failure to be a good friend.“Squirrel, squirrel, my little squirrel. Where are you?” Dylan’s voice echoed through the house as he entered, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.“I’m here, Dylan, and stop calling me that.” I replied from the kitchen, the sound of pots and pans clinking as I prepared dinner for us. He smiled,
Dylan’s face contorted into a deep frown, his brows furrowing with frustration. I could see the tension building in his expression, but I couldn’t quite decipher if it was anger or disappointment. Regardless, it was evident that he was upset. “I’m so sorry, Daisy. I should have asked for your permission first. I didn’t know you were feeling uncomfortable,” he sighed, the weight of his words hanging in the air. “No, no, Dylan, I’m sorry too. I backed off, and I don’t even know why. I’m just not ready for it yet,” I replied, my voice tinged with regret. Insecurity washed over me, and I instinctively crossed my arms, shielding my vulnerable upper body. I felt lost in that moment, realizing that if I had gone through with it with Dylan, it would have made seeking forgiveness from Julian even more difficult. No, I couldn’t bring myself to do it with Dylan just yet.“Hey, squirrel,” Dylan whispered softly, his warm breath tickling my ear. The gentle rustle of air surrounded us as he pulle
I was fuming with anger at Dylan, refusing to utter a word to him until noon, regardless of his relentless calls. “Come on, little squirely, don’t do this... we have so many places to go,” he pleaded, his presence demanding attention, but his face transformed into that of a small, helpless puppy. My anger held strong, preventing me from facing the people in the lobby, a deep sense of embarrassment washing over me.He let out a deep, burdensome sigh, his breath heavy in the air. With ease, he scooped me up from the couch and carried me effortlessly to the bed, settling me on his lap. I struggled to break free from his strong grasp, gasping for air as his grip tightened. “Please, squirrel... talk to me,” he pleaded, his head resting on my shoulder, his warm breath tickling my neck. Memories of the previous embarrassing incident flooded my mind, causing me to blush. “You embarrass me in front of almost one third population of Rome. Who knows if others from different countries were in t
