Never Again 🌷 “Promise Yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith
Never Again 🌷 “Every murder is the end of a story, yet so many tales take it as their start.” ~•~ •F I V E Y E A R S A G O• | X A V I E R | [ A month later to Evelyn's funeral ] I was doing some paperwork in my office when Simon, my assistant, notified me that Mason was here to see me with a man. Frowning in confusion, I thought, why are they here? "Allow them in." I said, closing the file in front of me. The door opened, revealing Mason as he entered with a tall bulky man in his mid thirties, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers with raven black hair and brown eyes. I stood at my place, saying, "Mason," as I motioned him to fill the seat in front of me, while the man stood behind him. Everyone was coping in their own way and some were recovering from Evelyn's death a little, but Mason, we didn't know how he was doing. "This is Richard Carson, he is a detective." Mason said, motioning towards the man whom now I know as Richard. I nodded at him as he nodded back in r
Never Again 🌷 “Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” -Anais Nin ~•~ •R O S E C L I N T O N• I went back to where it happened. I wanted to take away the power of the painful memory for hurt, prove to myself that I could choose to move on. So I took the one I love the most, my best friend, and on that spot we made a great memory, a happy one. Now when my brain goes back there I divert it only to the good memory, the healing one. It's as if I wrote a good story over the top of a bad story, and in time the ink of the bad story fades away until only the good one remains. But, I happened to do this because I am an adult, how was this small child supposed to do this? I smiled at him when he introduced his perfect name to me, "That's a perfect name for a tough boy like you." I said, holding his small h
Never Again 🌷 “We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.” -Robert Fulghum ~•~ •R O S E C L I N T O N• I let out a shaky breath, and whispered, "You're everything that I need." "Then let me give you what you need," his voice sounded a bit husky as the warmth spanned through my body from his touch. The moment his lips connected with my own, a new warmth travelled through my body which I welcomed willingly with both arms. His hands fell away from my waist, catching the back of my thighs before he lifted me up as my legs wrapped around his bare sides. The mere skin on skin contact was lighting a fire straight into my soul, feeling myself kissing him back as he gently laid my back down against the soft bed sheets. I felt my slit already becoming wet, my knees were bent as he positioned himself between my thighs a
Never Again 🌷 •R O S E C L I N T O N• I was deep in thought when someone placed their hand on my shoulder as I screamed and jumped in surprise, "Hey-hey, Rose, what happened?" Asked Aiden, steadying me as he held both of my upper arms in his while my right hand rested against my chest." Sighing in relief, "Nothing, I'm fine." I said. He brushed free tendrils of my hair from my forehead as they were sticking to my forehead, "You don't look fine, Rose." Said Aiden, searching my eyes for something. I shook my head in denial, "I was thinking something, you surprised me." I said and smiled a bit. But, I knew I couldn't fool Aiden as he was too smart for himself. Trying to change the topic, "You needed something?" I asked. Squinting his eyes at me for a second, he breathed out and said, "Ah-yes. Linda left for work and I thought you were sleeping so I woke the twins up and they both are ready for school." Her eyes widened, as a smile took over her features, "Did you really handle t
Never Again 🌷 “Never ignore a person, who loves you, cares for you, and misses you, because one day you might wake up and realise, you lost the moon while counting the stars.” ~•~ •R O S E C L I N T O N• I saw him staring at me with his alluring forest greens with such intensity that they literally caged my honey browns. My cheeks started heating up, no matter how much I tried I couldn't look away and I was shocked when I realised, I didn't even want to. Our staring moment was interrupted by Alexander calling my name, "Rose," but the way Xavier held my gaze was so magnetizing that I wasn't able to revert back my attention. When Xavier himself looked away from me towards his son, I was finally able to look at Alex too, "Yes?" I asked. "Can I stay here with you?" He asked, innocence reflecting in his honey browns. I wonder why he hadn't inherited his father's eyes? "Rose, can I?" He asked again, setting his hairs off of his eyes. Smiling at him, "Of course, if your daddy al
Never Again 🌷 “I wish it could be so that God would grant my plea… In your place, love, death would take me.” ~•~ R O S E C L I N T O N• "Sometimes I don't understand this guy!" Spitting in frustration under my breath, I saw one more taxi passing my side. Standing in the middle of the road, I waited for a damn taxi. But, thanks much to my luck, it won't stop even if it was empty. Absent-mindedly, my hands wrapped around myself as the cool wind whizzed past me, sending a shiver in my body. I didn't have any clue that it was going to be this chilly tonight. If I knew, I would have carried an overcoat with me. Since I was going to the party- for which Aiden said a clear no!- but did I listen to him? No! Of course not, I would not agree to whatever he said, unless he explained the reason. Wearing a simple light green dress, with white flowers on it, I knew the dress was a bit favourable to wear on sunny days, but as Issac said I look pretty, I wore it, how could I deny my
"I…" my voice trailed as I pulled him into a hug to which he circled his hands around my neck, "Yes, I'll be there." I said, rubbing his back.Pulling away, he kissed my cheek, as I said holding his hands, "But, you'll not run like this, okay?"Nodding happily, he said, "Okay."With that I ruffled his hair and stood up at my place, and Alexander went towards Xavier.Before Aiden could say something to me, he got interrupted by a call as he excused himself and went to attend the call. While I looked at father-son's bonding, Katherine pulled me towards an empty table, "How are you?" She asked.Although a smile lingered on my lips, a frown accompanied it, "I'm good, why do you ask?" I asked."It's been years and-" Katherine stopped midway as she realised something."Years?" I pressed, my smile disappeared as a look of confusion took c
