A Rose Field & The Golden Bridge
I can’t feel the weight of my body. It feels as if like I’m floating amid the gravity. When I try to force open my eyes, a sharp pain stung my head, shocking me into a jolt. I sprung back to the ground, groaning inwardly. It took me a while before I was able to hoist myself up. Even then, I need to hold my head as though the action of getting up itself can topple my head.

It’s passed lunch break. The afternoon sun filters through the curtain and spills its warm glow upon the hospital bed. I feel the heaviness weighing on my eyelids as I try to wake up. The first thing that greets me is a white ceiling and a tingling sensation all over my body. I don’t feel anything but haziness clouding my mind.

The Devil's Embrace The Middle Path
My parents were right. The stay only lasted for one night before I was discharge. Mom came in the morning to pack up my staff while I disregarded her advice and went ahead to school. Although I missed the morning class, I could still catch the afternoon ones I thought.Mom was furious as she wanted me to rest more. But, what can I do? My tuition depends on the scholarship. I can’t afford a bad attendance or average grades. I need a sterling report card. But, I won’t be able to do that if I laze around.“I prefer to take you myself if you really must go. Though I think you should be resting because you’ve only woken up yesterday,” mom had said. I could only force a smile and show her my injured leg. I moved it around for her to see that I was perfectly fine.“I’m alright, Mom,” I had assured her. “But, if it makes you worry less, then yeah let’s go together.”In the end, mom had called a cab to take
The Devil's Embrace Aren't you a bold one?
I gasp when I hear the bells’ loud ringing, marking the end of class. I sigh while rubbing my sleepy face which I got from waking up from a short nap during Mr. Rick’s class. Luckily, it’s a discussion between partner so I don’t think Mr. Rick cares about one sleeping student whose partner is nowhere to be seen.“Bye, Guys! Have a good vacation!” Mr. Rick exclaims as he waves at us from the door. I smile slightly while I rest my chin on my palm. It’s the end of today’s study but I don’t feel relieved. Annoyed, yes! I stare at the empty seat beside me.‘So, how should I contact this guy?’ I think to myself. I bet no one knows his number. Knitting my eyebrows, I try to think of something.“You’re not going home?” One of the girls in my class asks me. I jolt, nodding my head in reflex. She giggles. “Oh, ‘cos it doesn’t look like it since you’ve been staring at Cain
The Devil's Embrace Stalker Alert!
After I’ve gone back downstairs, I send Aubrey a text asking where she is and if she wants to go back together. I need to blow off some steam after dealing with Cain. I know Aubrey will be more than willing to do so. However, contrary to my expectation, I receive her text saying that she has something to do and can’t go back with me.I pout disappointedly but quickly brush it off. I have no energy to get mad again and rather go home to a nice soothing bath and a good book to read ‘till I knock off at midnight. With a plan in mind, I walk out of the school.Meanwhile, Aubrey has just finished sending Rosie a text before silencing her phone. Since the school has ended, the hallway is rather empty when Aubrey walks towards the school gate. Her friends have been waiting for her for almost twenty minutes now. “Hey! Sorry I’m a bit late.” Aubrey apologizes the moment she arrives before the girls.“Nah, it’s fine. We were
The Devil's Embrace He's Late
I stared at the light seeping through the window, leaving a line across the floor. It stings my heavy eyes making it ten times harder to open them. I bet I look like sh*t right now with sallow eyes, chapped lips, and pale face. Beside that, my heart hasn’t been able to shut up since last night. I can’t help but wonder if I’m really that nervous and why should I be? I sigh when I look at the time. It’s still early. Maybe a good bath will calm me down. So, I went ahead and fill up the tub before tossing a rose fragrance bath bomb and a bubble bar. The sweet flowery scent fills up the room as I lay myself inside for a bath.Perhaps it’s due to the atmosphere or the sensation itself, but it doesn’t take long before I plunge into a deep sleep. I feel somewhat relief for being able to nap after not sleeping at all last night. I’m not that familiar with Cain and it’ll be funny if I sleep on him.In the end, I’ve fallen a
The Devil's Embrace Tell Me Your Number
I had dived right into a novel which Faith had been reading before I had come when I thought that Cain would be late. I’m the type of person who doesn’t pay attention to her surroundings when I’m reading. So, I didn’t notice his presence, meanwhile Faith was dumbfounded the moment she looks at him.To be honest, it looks sort of funny when Faith peers at Cain’s outfit. It’s summer and he’s wearing a jacket like a freaking genius. However, she has to admit that the boy emits the kind of attraction that’s capable of turning everyone’s head without an exception. And just by seeing him like this, it sends a jolt at Faith’s heart.Thus, it gets her so excited when she knows it’s Cain, the guy whom Rosie’s waiting for. It’s because he’s been looking around the moment he enters the library. When his eyes settle on the front desk, he looks for a while before heading toward Faith’s direction.
The Devil's Embrace Lunch Date
My mind is still in a daze after I have given my number to Cain. I don’t even remember spelling it. I only realize it was finished when he says, “Thank you.”“Here,” he returns my phone.“Ah, okay…” I subconsciously reach out to take it back. After that, we’re back to square one – strangers, or maybe not? But, we stay in silence with neither of us having any attention to speak. He merely props his hand under his chin while looking at the window to the view outside. There isn’t a hint of him leaving.For some reason, I don’t feel like breaking the silence either. Instead of feeling awkward, I find it settling like a cool breeze in the middle of autumn, as though we’re stargazing. Then, from the corner of my eyes, I caught on Faith smirking my way, giggling like a four years old. I flush in embarrassment. In the end, I decided to leave. However, before I can tell him, Cain speaks up first.
