"I already told him that I don't want him to court me. He couldn't understand!" I shook my head and turned around, pushing the hangers at the side, and started to search for a dress."He was so persistent! He didn't even listen when I got angry?" I shifted my gaze towards Ella and sighed. I raised two hangers in front of her and boringly glanced at it from left to right."Really? Maybe he likes you a lot." Ella didn't look at me, she was just busy crashing her nails against each other, making small Noises as she cleaned it."But I don't like him." I rolled my eyes, determined to show her how I disliked the idea."Which is better? This one, or this one?" My eyes went to my left. It was an old rose sleeveless flowy dress ending three inches above the knee, and then to my right is an oversized army green cropped hoodie.Ella's eyes shifted from her nails to my face. The side of her lips slightly twitched. And then she raised her brow and crossed her a

"I said go and remove your freaking hand off him!" I yelled at the girl and forcibly u clasp her fingers from Auton's shoulders.My eyes were flaring with anger, my cheeks felt like it was burning, and my hands want to reach for the woman's flirty dress."What the heck is your problem?!" Her eyes dropped down to my clothes, and when she shifted her gaze towards my face, I saw that her orbs were now tainted with disgust."Tayla..." Auton's deep voice sounded behind me. His warm hands wrapped around my stomach, pulling me closer to him."Auton, do you know this dirty girl?" Her stagy voice made my face more scrunched up. People with money are smug. They will insult the average people and will glance at them like a dirty rag.I sarcastically smirked and shifted my eyes towards Auton's face. His eyes were dark and intense, making my heart boom louder than what it already is. I silently removed his hands away from my waist and gave the girl a head-to-fo

With shoulders shrunk, head bowed and lazy walks, I strutted the way towards my unit and opened the door. I threw my bag on the coffee table and rested my back on the single-seater sofa."Ah..." I caressed my neck and moved it from side to side. The pain from the heat and dust from outside made my feeling worst and made me more tired than what I already was.The tiny hope of bringing Terren here in my unit disappeared the moment he told me those words. The ending was, I gave him the food and clothes I bought, included a small amount of money to buy himself food whenever he is hungry, and a weary smile.It was hard to convince him, but if that was what he wants...then I don't have a choice."Do you want some coffee?" My eyes immediately opened when I heard a familiar voice. I removed my foot on top of the coffee table and sat straight. My eyes dropped at my shirt, slightly fixing it from the mess I made earlier."You...you are here?" Auton's hands w

I just hope I will never regret my decisions. Maybe I can just settle for what is happening in the present and...worry for the future.It's not like love can make things harder, right?I will have someone to talk to every time I have a hard time, and I will have someone to eat with when I don't feel like eating by myself. I can call someone whenever there is a storm, and the thunder won't stop.Maybe Auton can be my new family.That was what I thought before I said those words to him."Really?"

"Of course, I will stay with you. What is this all about?" He frowned.I chuckled a bit and reached for his face. My fingers trailed from his jaw, his cheek, and ended at the corner of his eyes. I stretched the sides of my lips for a small smile."You know, the first time I saw these pair of Amethyst eyes, I swear it made my heart jump. It was so calming. But when you started to speak and when a girl bumped into me while trying to get to you, I told myself I don't want you." My lips twitched. I pulled myself up and sit beside him."Is tha
