The Untitled Love Story Chapter 118: Making Up
Silence hung heavy in the room; even the tick of the clock seemed to fade into the background.After swallowing a bunch of painkillers, I climbed into bed to rest my back against the headboard.Charlie sat in a chair he had placed next to the wall, staring intently at his pen. It must've had something to do with how he somehow became Superman in the dining hall.His eyes weren't as red anymore, but they still looked tired and sleep-deprived. "Come here." I sighed."Hmm." He mumbled, his gaze shifting to me."Come here." I repeated, patting the space next to me on the bed.His eyes fell to the bed, then back to me, holding my gaze for a few seconds before getting up from the chair.He kicked his shoes off by the bed, tossing his shirt to a coat rack by the dresser. I fluffed a pillow, setting it down for him as he slowly climbed into bed, but he completely ignored the pillow, coming to lie his head on my lap instead.I brought my hand to his shoulder to move him to the pillow, but he
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 117: Settling In
It was lunchtime at the mansion. A vast majority of its population gathered in Mr X's makeshift late-night office to stuff their mouths.Lively chatter filled the air, some from the loud banter taking place on one end of the table, some from the impatient ones too starving to chat, and the rest from a group having a loud conversation in a somewhat civilised manner.No one noticed our entrance at first; they were all too engrossed in their own worlds to notice three latecomers pass them by."We might have to split up to find seats." Scott stated, standing on his toes to see over the crowd."Thanks for all your help today, Scott. We'll see you later." I nodded."Of course, I'll look for you both after lunch." He smiled, hurrying off."Try not to get into any trouble." Charlie whispered before splitting off as well."No promises." I mumbled.Finding a seat by myself only took a couple of seconds, settling between a skinny pale guy trying to woo over a lady and a guy with an eye patch mor
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 116: Visiting Hours
"It's barely your first day here, and you are already getting stitches." The doctor shook his head at me with an amused smile."Not my fault your people are mostly a bunch of bullies in training." I hissed, rolling my eyes as I got off the stupid clinic bed."You should rest more. Wielding an artefact for the first time is usually quite draining, not to mention the damage you took in during your fight. I'm afraid if the painkillers wore off, you'd find it difficult to move." The doctor advised."Thanks, Dr..." I paused, glancing at the name on his coat. "...Chuck, but I think I'd take some painkillers in a bag and be on my way." I picked up my gauntlets from the cupboard by the bed, choosing not to put them on since the bandages on my forearms had just been changed.The impact of all those hits I blocked had caused the wounds to reopen. I wouldn't be using the gauntlets again for at least a week."Mr Eiran, I understand your distaste for my people, but-"He stopped talking as our att
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 115: Eiran VS Rhodes
Rhode wasted no time getting down to business. He charged in, swirling his spear like a sadistic maniac, caring little if his opponent was inexperienced. He hadn't even Charlie a chance to scribble something.Now he was going to pay.It became evident to me from the first guy that his spear granted him some sort of superhuman strength, and his speed came from consistent training and proficiency with the weapon.Yes, I wasn't proficient with the supernatural abilities that came with my gauntlets, but from the memories I had managed to get back, I was pretty well experienced with using my fists.I sidestepped the Rhode's first attack, his spear forming a crack in the spot he struck."You enjoyed being a demon, don't you? You bald-headed short man." I scoffed, leaping back as he swept the spear at my ankles."No idea what you are talking about. We are meant to be honing our skills to the fullest, it's not my fault the weaker ones are having a hard time keeping up." He retorted, thrusting
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 114: Walking On Ice
Running was actually a good way to clear my head. I arrived at Charlie's door feeling lighter, and emotionally better. That would probably change once I opened the door and saw his face, but I would be able to handle it."Charlie, we-"I opened the door, but he wasn't there. Why had he left his door unlocked when he wasn't in it?Hearing footsteps coming from down the hall, my head snapped to the source.A guy, probably between 20 - 22 was hurrying out of his room, left shoe in one hand, and a staff between his teeth. He almost fell trying to put on the shoe, but I ran forward, catching him on time."Sorry to bother you, but do you know where Charlie is?" I asked, taking the staff from his mouth."Probably training which I am beyond late for." He replied, crouching to tie his laces."Can you take me there, please?" I asked."You aren't dressed for it, and you don't look like you have any weapons. You wouldn't last." He scoffed."Says the guy doing a messy work of his lace, they are go
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 113: Background Work
"Let me get this straight. You think Harrison was trying to snag Charlie for himself?" Mr X frowned."Yes sir." I nodded. "What I am not sure about is whether my colleague, Melissa, was working for him or someone else."Mr X sat forward, hands linked above the table. He heaved a sigh, looking straight down the table then back to me."Alliances are pretty strong amongst Arcane Collectors, Mr Eiran." He stated."To be honest, I don't really care about your alliances. What I want to be certain of is whether my colleague, Melissa, was working under him or someone else." I shrugged.A chuckle echoed through the dining hall, this one louder than his usual creepy chuckles."You really only care about him, nothing else." He smiled."I have other things I care about, but he just takes the highest priority." I replied."Alright, tell me what led to your suspicions of Harrison and your colleague." I requested."Did he know you had Charlie?" I asked."Yes, I informed him the moment Charlie safely
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 32: Something Always Happens
It was some point in the early hours of the morning. I opened my eyes slowly to the sound of someone sneaking up to us.It was too dark to see the face at the time, but from the frame, I knew it was a lady. She walked so calmly towards us, her hand reaching for something by her waist.My brain spra
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 19: Domestic Bonding
The last thing I recalled before falling asleep was trying to memorise the final line in the book. Something about one of the greatest achievements a detective could attain was being able to solve a case without harm coming to anyone who doesn't deserve it.Theron had woken up much earlier than I h
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 12: A Misunderstanding
What exactly was she on about? I didn't know and I didn't really care. I turned to Theron who had taken his hand away from my face the moment she barged in."Stupid lady." I mumbled, but she didn't hear it."What are you in about, Cynthia?" Theron sighed, sounding tired."He, you, I saw-""You saw
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 8: Little Openings
Suddenly, I couldn't feel the cold autumn wind any longer; my hands hung frozen around him. He seemed really worked up all of a sudden making me wonder what happened. I couldn't tell if I should hug him back or push him away, though; a larger part of me wanted the former.Slowly, he peeked up at m
