* They drove through the night in silent with Aria looking out the window towards the moving scene. She couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried. Frank had practically pulled her out of there only for one simple reason.  He couldn't stand the fact that she was finally talking to someone who at least cared about her enough to laugh at her silly comment without pretending about it. She saw how everyone was throwing small glances at her direction back at the book launch. She bet they also thought there were a couple.  

 *Aria came face to face with another unfamiliar face standing at her door step the moment she unlocked it and stepped outside.The new fellow had his hands folded behind his back with a smirk decorating his chiseled cheeks.Who the hell was he?...She arched her brow a little trying to remember if she has come across that face somewhere before or he just happened to look so awfully familiar but got nothing as she was left to stare back at a white pair of teeth and a mesmerizing smile staring right back at her.Okay!She stepped back a little as the guy was all over her face and causing her to loose focus without even realizing it.He stood a good two foot taller than her. He was clothed in a black joggers and paired with an equally black body hug T-shirt that was doing some serious justice to his masculine body.He must be spending ungodly hours at the gym no doubt. Aria had noted with a mental

 *Aria and Henry's relationship went from just neighbors wanting to share a bottle of wine to sharing dinner and even movie nights. She found herself getting more and more involved with his charming personality while the thought of Frank fade out the window.Henry was a charmer. If he wasn't at the clinic saving lives, he'd be home trying new recipe at his kitchen with Aria being the first to grab a bite. One could tell how rapidly things were moving between them. Henry was mesmerized by Aria and her simplicity as he would rather spend each day beside her trying to woe her little by little even though she was the age of his elder sister.She was still perfect.The sound of her laughter does things to his mind as he could only dream of waking up to those enchanting voice of hers each single passing day.Aria on the other hand doesn't know exactly how she feels about her new friend/neighbor but was more than comfortab

 *Frank never thought anyone still held the power to make him so empty; yet so filled with rage. He could still feel his hand twitching in anger as he stood staring at the door that was literally slammed against his face.The thought of what could be going on in there between those two had his fist coiled and ready to smash the door open but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was way too civil for that sorta drama and beside he'd only make matters worst if not leave it at a point where she would never want to see his shadows ever again.Frank looked worse than he felt as he couldn't gather his thought properly. His throat felt extremely dry and he looked labored. She didn't even listened to him. What has changed so much, he thought to himself as he head back to his car and repeatedly kicked at his tyres; groaning out loud in frustration. How long has it been; three weeks? He was right to think something else was going

1597 word(s*Aria was feeling too lazy and sleepy to get into the shower as soon as she stepped into her apartment. She has Henry to blame for making her eat so much and heavy.Pulling her shoes off, she plopped down on the bed while lazily reaching down for her zipper before peeling the blouse off. She reached for her face wipe and began dragging it across her face in an attempt to clean the little make up that was still lingering on her face.She went into her bathroom to brush her teeth after changing into her pink silk nightie before dashing back out towards the living room to ensure her front door was securely locked from the inside. Satisfied with her actions, she turned off the switch and wall socket before making for her room. She didn't make it far before she heard a muffled voice outside her door.Wondering if it was Henry, she switched on the light before walking back towards the door but without unlockin
