I saw the fear flash across Mirianda’s face at my statement. And even though it lasted for only a second, I was still able to catch it, and damn, did that make me feel so good. It was good that she still remembered what I was capable of if pushed to the wall, it was good that she remembered what I had done to her brother. Her face returned to its original scowling form, and she hissed angrily thereafter. Putting up a brave front, I guess.“Don’t keep me waiting Miranda...what is the matter? Why did you disturb my sleep?” I asked, hanging on to my last thread of patience.“Well, there are two reasons. Firstly..” she paused, staring at me deeply before taking two steps back. I hoped then that whatever reason this was for her stepping away from me in fear didn’t include touching the cookies Kaden had purchased for me the previous day. Before I and Lucy had reached home, he had taken us to a little shopping under the guise that he had wanted something for himself; the rest was history.
Storm: I ran downstairs like my life depended on it, skipping two stairs at a time, coming to a stand still at the bottom of the staircase when I saw Jess, crying close to someone that had been covered from head to toe. Our family doctor was beside her, his hands on her shoulders, while some other men in uniform were just stepping into the house since the front door was open. I could hear the sirens, there must be an ambulance ready to take my old man to the morgue.I just stood there watching the flurry of activities going on but not moving one bit from my present position, until the family doctor caught sight of me.“Storm, I am sorry about your loss. Come here.” He said gently and I found myself moving toward him, literally walking like a robot. My step mother looked up, her eyes releasing a fresh bout of tears when she saw me walking towards them.She can’t be feeling pity for me. She is not permitted to pretend like that. I thought angrily, wishing I could release a punch on he
STORM“Were you here last night?'' I asked Kaden, immediately he settled down on my bed, my eyes travelling from the hair on his head to the black leather boots that covered his foot. How he managed to look so handsome any time I saw him exuded my knowledge. He was just so hot!, and shouldn't be allowed to roam around freely around females.“What do you think? He asked back, folding his arms across his chest, causing his biceps to thin through the blue polo he was wearing which matched with the oceanic blue colour of his eyes.“I think you were here, Kaden. Thanks for helping me sleep.” I muttered, dropping down next to him on the bed, not actually in the mood to fight and banter with words.“It’s nothing much.” He grunted, looking around my room. “I heard of the news…about your father’s death. I am truly sorry for your loss.”I hummed a reply, not really knowing what to say to that. Condolences accepted or what? I didn’t need his pity though, but I didn't tell him that. Rather, I kep
KADENI had been talking with Casper over the phone when I had heard the ambulance sirens, but I hadn’t been perturbed by it because it wasn’t in any way my concern. Casper had been aghast when I had told him about the collar that I had managed to get rid of with the help of Jiraq and the others. His reaction had told me that it would be a bad move to tell the others of the collar removal procedures and its consequences, not until we found a solution to the problem.Liam had dropped a knock on the door before walking in. the look on his face had told me that bad news was about to be shared. Quickly I had told casper that I would call him back before ending the almost one hour call.“What is the matter?” I had asked Liam, immediately I dropped the phone on the bedside table.“Storm’s father is dead.” He mentioned. “The ambulance had come for him. I overheard the doctor talking about a heart failure or something. That’s crazy.”“Yeah, it is.” I muttered, my eyes finding their way to Sto
STORMI started counting from one to hundred, trying to curb my anger and withhold the urge to throw my alarm clock on the ugly face of Miranda as she kept on ranting on how I was a slut and had no shame to allow a man jump into my room through my window, although I knew she would give up her right toe to be in the same shoes that I was. She kept on talking, and when I couldn’t take it again, I decided to zone out. You know that moment that you are there but you aren’t there. I could hear her talking but I couldn’t actually hear what or the specifics of whatever she was saying. I rather thought of the kiss I had shared with Kaden rather, his succulent lips were something to die for. I couldn’t wait to see him in the evening. I wondered where he had in mind to take me too, for a better shaping of my mind-he had said. Well, wherever it was that he was taking me to, I hoped that they had somewhere private enough to smooch and let out some steam. I was literally dying to see him again.
STORM“Stop zoning out on me!!!! What gives you the right?!” I heard the dimwit scream avian, and looked down on my phone. The call was still on. Hmm, so Curtis really wanted to hear more? That’s interesting. Perhaps I should give him what he wanted. He should consider it a favour then. I had helped him see the reality of who he was dating, not that he was any better, but still… he owed me one though.“I’m sorry, her royal highness… it’s just with my father’s death, I am having a lot to think about.” I answered finally, wanting to laugh out loud when I noticed the way she was heaving in and out.“So, back to our new neighbor….” I drawled, chuckling, unable to stop myself, when she scrunched her face. The girl was really a dummy. How could she be this passionate in anger about some guy she didn’t even know his name?? Well, I can understand though, Kaden was hot!! But still…“Stay away from him, Storm. He is mine. Or else, you wouldn’t like what would happen to you next.” She threatened
STORMThere was silence in my room for about five minutes. Curtis was silent over the phone. Miranda was silent over here. I was tired too of talking to both of them, so I remained silent too, stalking back to my bed and sitting down, waiting until either of them decided to speak and make this event more interesting.“Curtis…” Miranda started, and I smirked before I could even stop myself, more like a knee jerk reaction, my body sure knew how to respond to stuff like this.“I…did…it was all stage work, just…” Miranda was saying, and before I could stop myself, I let out an outburst of laughter, unperturbed when she glared at me. Did she think that I would be stopped by that? I wondered, feeling the laughter flow out of me like never before. I guess no one has humiliated her this way before. Good, I was the first.“Curtis…” she started again, but the young man was probably tired of hearing more lies as his voice boomed across the phone the next second.“Stop Miranda. I feel disgusted b
STORMWait, what did Miranda mean by that? Surprises? I had a feeling that the surprises she was talking about were not the normal fluffy balloons and cake. What the hell was she talking about? I knew that asking about my father’s death from my stepmother was a waste, but perhaps, if I could bait Miranda, she might tell me something I want to hear, or would aid me in my next course to take. I looked up and she was right at my door, about to turn the knob when I called out her name, calmly but firmly. “Miranda...come back here. We are not done talking..” I stated, maintaining my cool when she turned around, a smirk on her lips, and her arms folded across her chest. “You want to talk now…sister…well, sorry, I doubt that I would want to ruin the surprises that mama has planned for you? You think that she has ever forgiven you for what you had done to my brother, Manuel?” she asked, before breaking into an outburst of sinister laughter which troubled me no small deal. “No..,she never
