At the sound of the door, Daisy stands up and takes the sit furthest from Dave."What's the matter? Did I do or say something wrong?" Dave asked with concern.Daisy shakes her head in denial, "No, you didn't"Dave moves to where she's sitting and hugs her from behind, "Will you believe me if I say there's absolutely nothing going on between us?" His voice was soft and soothing.Daisy closes her eyes at the sensation he gave as his hot breath caresses the crook of her neck. "It doesn't matter, does it?" She turns to him and folds his face in her tiny palms."It does" Dave pressed on, "I don't want you" he was cut off by her"Want me overthinking things? Of course, you know I would given how close you two are" "There has always been one thought I've had since my first day of living with you because you made me see and believe it" Daisy didn't want to hit it anymore.She wants to tell him everything that's disturbing her mind and it's holding her from accepting him."You made me believ
Dave returns to his office and is welcomed by an empty sofa staring at him. He pauses for a moment before closing the door and heads straight to the restroom door."I'm back, dear wife," he said over his voice patiently waiting for a response but none came."Won't you dash me your warm and sweet hugs? I miss you already" he adds, walks to his desk and leans against it, hands wrapped over his chest as he patiently waits for her to emerge from behind the door.But after a long time of waiting, no one came out. His usual calm face darkness, and concern could be seen on his face.He pushes himself off the desk and heads to the door, he stops when he is a step away. He knocks on the door"Stop hiding, come out now" he urges, still believing she's inside."Hide and seek huh? I doubt if you would love it" he mutters under his breath, reaches for the door and opens it.He was surprised to see the room empty, a frown settled on his face. He wonders where she might have gone off to.His legs ca
"Daisy?" Mrs Smith calls out as she climbs down the stairs aiming to reach her.Daisy's steps slowed down, she stopped and turned around to face her"Mom?" Daisy calls out, trying to pretend she is ok.Mrs Smith knew she was acting, she was pretending to be okay."About what you saw" Mrs Smith tried but was cut off by Daisy"I didn't see anything" She frowns, "It's nothing like you Dad and I were just having a little husband and wife misunderstanding" She pressed on.Daisy forces a smile, "I didn't see anything mom, you should believe me or you don't?" She raises a browA heavy sigh escaped her lips, "You never do from the beginning" Her tone was sad and soft."8 get that couples do have their ups and downs, it can't always be bright, right?" She asked, gazing at her mom without blinking.Mrs Smith stares back at her daughter, her heart melts at the sight of her talking like a mature lady. She wishes she had a part in her growing up."Why are you here?"Mrs Smith asked, changing the t
The room fell silent, Daisy's eyes darted back and forth between her parents in absolute disbelief, eyes threatening to release a river of tears."This can't be, Dad, you are just pulling my legs, right? " Mr Smith's head tilted upwards with a deadpan serious look on, "I should be a fool then for doing that!"Daisy gulped down at the realization her father wasn't playing around, The smooth spot between her brows twisted in displeasure, and the chilling sensation of fear rushed down her spine. She shivers in response.She turns to Mrs Smith, "Mom!??" "There is no joke in this, your father has spoken and so shall it be" came Mrs Smith's words.Daisy felt a hundred thorns piercing her heart as she stared at her parents who are supposed to look after her well-being and happiness doing the exact opposite." So shall it be? " Daisy repeated, tears now streaming down her cheeks."How could you stand there and impose on me whom to spend my life with? You are my parents, aren't parents suppo
Three knocks came on the door before it was pushed open, Mrs Bella appeared from behind, closed the door and walked further into the room"Child!" She calls out, her voice soft and gentle. Full of patience and love."Please don't tell me you are here to make me agree, 'cause I won't," Daisy said as a matter of fact.Mrs Bella halted in her steps, eyes glued to the crying girl on the bed. "I might be just a maid and your nanny, but you know I love you and will never force you into doing things you don't want to""Mrs Bella?" Daisy calls out in tears, "I didn't mean to say that!"Mrs Bella takes counting strides to her and takes the spot by the side of her bed.Daisy pushes herself to sit upright and throws herself into her arms the moment Mrs Bella gives an invitation with wide arms."I know, child. You never disrespect your elders!" Mrs Bella pats on her head, coaxing the little crying girl"I don't want to marry him, I can't marry him!" Daisy cries begging Mrs Bella to help her out,
"You think so?" Came his sudden question"I know so!"There was no option for contemplation, she knew it was their last because her dad was a man of his word and his decisions were final."That's good!" He sounds over the wall.Daisy breaks a million times hearing his nonchalant response."Yeah, it is" she agrees. "Maybe I should just give in, it's not like I've got other choices" she mumbled to herself."Now that I'm leaving, won't you mind telling me your name?" Daisy demands, "If I can't see your face, it's better I know your name, at least""My name??" He repeats to himselfDaisy waits patiently for him to speak up but he never does. Instead, she heard another voice"Here you are, I've been looking for you everywhere!" A female voice spoke out, Daisy could hear the sound of heels against the floor. It was so loud that it echoed throughout the rooftop.Hearing that, Daisy felt so foolish for thinking they could be something. From the sound of the lady's voice, they could be couple
"That's lame feedback, isn't it? I can't afford to let you have a moment of happiness, never!" Mr Smith's voice resonates with so much anger."But she's done nothing wrong!" Mrs Smith interjects.Mr Smith shrugs, "That's none of my business, Her mother did it anyways and she's paying for it" "Or won't you give up yourself for her? She should be ready to do the same for you!" His lips pull up into a wicked grin."You are a monster!" Mrs Smith accuses."No, not a monster. I'm worse than that, I'll say... I am a devil, yeah, that's the best" Mr Smith corrects.A wave of regret hovers over Mrs Smith at the realization of the person she married in the name of a husband."I hate you so much that I wish I was never entangled with you in the first place" her voice laced with pain.Mr Smith chuckles, "Too bad you are, and until I say a word, you will forever be bound to me"Mrs. Smith angrily turns her heels and walks out of the room in a hurry. She is broken and sad, because of her, her daug
She watches him lean down, closing the gaps between them. His head pushed closer, he was so close that she could feel his harsh yet soft warm breath hitting her face.Realizing he was about to kiss her, Daisy pushes him out of reflex making him stagger two steps behind. The entire hall was in chaos at her action, whispers going on and on around."Are you ok?" He asked pulling her from her thoughtsDaisy was quick to snap out of her imagination, she blinked at him and let out a heavy yet silent sigh at the realization all was nothing but hallucinations. "Hmm, yes" Daisy forces a smile hoping he doesn't see through her."Can I?" He demands.Daisy's eyes open wide confused about what he's talking about. She face-palm herself at the realization of what he meant."Yes," she gives a half-hearted response.She closes her eyes, waiting for him to get over with it. Minutes passed but the kiss never came. Instead, she felt a light brush against her cheeks"Don't be scared, it's just a kiss" h
