It's time.
“Ryan? What are you doing here?” I couldn’t believe my own eyes.
“Uh… I guess I am your date tonight.” He said with a shy smile.
“What? No way. It’s so good to see you, Ryan.” I said excitedly and without thinking I hugged him. He was surprised but he hugged me back letting out a chuckle.
I didn’t expect Ryan as my date but when I saw him I felt pure excitement like I was meeting up with a friend after years. I mean he is a friend, but I felt zero awkwardness even though he was my ex-boyfriend.
“This is really a sweet surprise,” I said sitting on my chair which he pulled out for me like a gentleman.
“I am relieved that you are happy to see me,” he said looking at my eyes while making himself comfortable on his seat.
“Of course I am. Why would I not?” I asked him.
“You have no idea how nervous I was. I almost left this place a few minutes ago.” He said honestly. “That’s why I asked your father not to tell anything about me to yo

“I will take care of this, Uncle,” I said in a decided tone thinking that it’s time to meet Vian. “How?” I heard Ryan and Uncle asking me at the same time. “Don’t worry about it. Everything will be okay.” I assured them. I send Ryan and Uncle off assuring them again that I will take care of everything and then I asked my secretary Lydia to get me the D5’s manager’s number. “Is that so? That’s bad. Are you sure that I can’t even get ten minutes of their time?” I asked again, sounding desperately holding my phone tightly. I talked to their manager Mr. Edward once Lydia got me his number. He was polite and spoke like a gentleman once he heard who I was. He said that their schedule was pretty tight for that day and asked me if I wanted to meet up with Vian and Jay later that week. I didn’t want to. I mean I could, but I just wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible and get back to my life that doesn’t involve them. “Is i
You are my FLAME Cosmos.
I slowly walked towards him without breaking eye contact. He straightened up noticing me approaching him. I felt a cold raindrop on my neck, goose bumps broke out all over my body when I stopped to stand just a few steps away from him under the same tree. “Why are you here?” I blurted it out suddenly. It came out wrong, on the contrary to what I feel. I wanted to hug him and at the same time, I wanted to slap him the moment I saw him. Despite everything that happened in the past, every cell in my body craved him, every synapse in the brain started firing like a firework in his nearness. “I came to see my best friend.” He said softly looking straight into my eyes. “I thought you forgot about her,” I told him without believing my own words. Somehow in my heart, I knew he never once stopped thinking about me.‘Weird, isn’t it?’ or should I say fascinating? That I could read his eyes as clear as I did years ag
You are my FLAME Addicted.
Dear diary, Sorry, it's been so long. I haven’t remotely written anything for years. You used to be my secret safe where I could lock away my deepest desires and regrets. I could be completely honest, and you won’t judge me. But then since I moved to New York, I haven’t been myself. Somehow my life lost its purpose, and I did things just for the sake of doing it. Scratch that. I did things and lived my life because I owe it all to certain two persons whom I learned to love later in my life. And that I didn’t want to admit to anyone… not even to you. Because that is not living… it’s just existing. No human on earth wants to admit that they are nothing in this world… not even to themselves including me. But that isn’t the only reason. I know Damon’s been snooping around my room looking for you. I know he means well. He just wants to know what’s wrong with me and help me. Sometimes he seems to be the only person in the entire world
You are my FLAME Trap.
We all have that one friend who always acts dramatically even for the simplest of things in life. Dev is just one of them and the only one in my life. I never seriously considered the thought of killing someone in my life before that day. What can I say? He just brings out the worst in me. When I reached his home, worry etched on my face, I saw him sitting in front of his TV, wearing pajamas, snacking chips in the middle of the living room leaving the front door open for me. I knew right then, yet again I fell for one of his tricks. “Hey Ava, come on sit and watch. This is so fun.” He said smiling pretending to be innocent patting the seat next to him when he noticed my arrival. If I say that I was burning with rage at that moment, that would be the understatement of the year. “Why did you call me here, Dev?” I asked him gritting my teeth on the verge of losing my patience. “Ah, that,” he said as if he just remembered that he called me there. “I got a
You are my FLAME Brother love.
That’s it. Everything was set to go. Vian and I agreed to do the film together. Uncle Richard couldn’t be happier than that. Ryan was a bit reluctant. I knew he wasn’t fond of me spending time with Vian, but he didn’t have another choice. An article about the cast of the film ‘To be with you’ was released. People were already excited about seeing Vian and Jay on the big screen added to that Vian was about to release a solo album so there was no shortage of hypes. In between all of that, suddenly I became the talk of the day. That one lucky girl who gets to act with Vian in a romantic film. I rolled my eyes seeing those comments under the article. I bet it’s a she. I get confused with all those pseudo names. I wanted to say that I would let her do the role instead of me if I could. Oh, how much I wanted to disappear then. I realized agreeing to do that film has been the biggest mistake in my life. It brought unwanted attention to my oh so
You are my FLAME Goodbye, Mom
“I told you she would try to avoid us,” Vian spoke to Jay keeping his delightful eyes on me. I couldn’t imagine a better moment for mother earth to swallow me whole. I really didn’t want to be there at that moment. “Lydia, you are fired as of now. If you just let any passerby come in then what’s the use of you.” Damon spat directed his words to Lydia as soon as he saw both of them. That made the entire situation awkward, and the tension in the room was almost palpable. But thank god, Jay spoke first trying to ease the tension. “Hello, Damon. I don’t suppose you remember me, but I am Jay.” He offered his hand moving a little forward. “No one is talking to you, mate. Go f*ck yourself.” He snapped. “Watch it, pal,” Vian said with a warning glare towards Damon moving in between Jay and Him. “Damon!” I called out almost instantly as Vian. I understood
You are my FLAME Deja vu.
Vian and I were taking a walk alongside the banks of the east river. The beautiful sunset rays shone on his face making him look like a golden god. “Isn’t this beautiful?” he spoke after a long silence of walking. I noticed him watching the sun, retreating its rays to give the stage to the moon and the stars. It was the first time he spoke since we decided to take a walk. We both walked in comfortable silence like we were just enjoying each other’s company. “Do you want me to take a picture of you with it?’ I asked him also watching the sunset. “Good idea. Let’s do it together,” he said motioning me to come near him and then drifting his gaze to the beautiful sight behind us. I nodded my head agreeing, and we both moved our bodies closer to each other with the orange sky behind us, deciding to take a selfie. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and adjusted the angle to capture the scenery behind us along with our faces.
You are my FLAME Confession.
Lunch with Ryan was surprisingly felt good. I just accepted his offer feeling bad for rejecting his invite for coffee before and I didn’t expect myself to be having a good time with him. He acted the same as he had, when we used to date before in high school. He was funny, charming, gentle, and was a good listener. Being with Ryan made me feel calm like when I watch sunset sitting on the banks of the river near my apartment. It also terrified me that how after all these years what I feel when I am with him never changed. When we were dating in the past, he used to be my safe haven from reality. I was running away from a lot of things and somehow I ended up in the hands of Ryan. He was the end of my road when I started running and I can’t help but frit, thinking about the perfect timing of Ryan’s reappearance in my life when I am in fact running from someone and that someone being Vian like in the past. Since Ryan was leaving New York the next day
