KRIS: Lucian had just given me a tour of the house and if I thought it was beautiful the previous night, it was definitely better than that in the daytime. "I love this place so much. Best trip ever". I chirped as we rounded the corner and made our way to the patio. I slumped on a couch and he followed suit. "My mom loved this place. It was her favorite property". He stared into space. Huh? He'd never really talked about his parents and he was always so tense whenever a comment about them came up. It felt good to finally hear him talk about hi

LUCIAN: "Get out". She yelled, placing her small hands on my chest and attempting to push me outside the room. "Why?" I stared at her, amused. "You're not supposed to be here while I get dressed".  I stared at her blankly and she sighed before looking at me. "I want to surprise you. Please?" She pouted, making me chuckle. Turning to walk away, her little hands hugged me from behind and she sighed. Just when I was about to face her, she pushed me out of the room and locked the door. I really couldn't help loving her. With

KRIS: "I miss you". I heard his deep voice before his face came into view. He wasn't back so we were facetiming. He was lying on a bed covered with a blanket but his chest was exposed. I missed lying on that chest. "I miss you more". I replied pouting. It's been four weeks since he left  and today was one of the few days he picked my calls. "How have you been?" He asked, stifling a yawn. "I'm not okay" "I'm guessing It has to do

KRIS: It's one of those weekends when I'm home alone and so bored. I'd tried watching a movie on Netflix but I lost interest even before it started. Since Lucian travelled, my life has been colourless and boring to death. Tired of moping around all alone and by myself, I decide to take a nap. I waddled upstairs to my bedroom and fell on the bed but sleep refused to come. I tossed and turned in an attempt to sleep but to no avail. Getting off the bed, I get a note and a pen to sketch something but then, no inspiration. Tossing that aside, I laid on my bed, face down and closed my eyes, revelling in the quietness of the house and my loneliness.  Trying to be calm was

KRIS: "Aww... you came". I went over to Val and hugged him. "Off course. I'm not about to miss out in the fun and again, Luc asked me to babysit you". He winked. Hearing Lucian's name pricked my heart but I did my best to ignore it. I didn't tell anyone what happened. I wasn't ready to be at the receiving end of their sympathetic looks.  And again, it'd been two weeks and I'd been managing just fine. Or so I thought. It was the weekend, and we were going on a trip. More like a mini vacation to a lake house we rented. By we, I mean my friends and I.
