บททั้งหมดของ Two Lost Souls: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

"Took you long to get some drinks," Brieanna said, eyes narrowed at William. Being all alone  and waiting in a crowded place isn't her favorite at all.  "Sorry, I was caught on something," he replied, sitting beside her and handing her the water bottle. "You look like you were enjoying the lanterns though." "Yeah, they do look nice. They seem to light up everything in this night market." "I bet it makes your heart melt." Does it? Well it kind of, she thought. She was used to dark places. The ones that she can think clearly while the soft breeze touches her face or the ones that makes her lonely is her favorite. Something like this feels new to her since it has been a while.

Dinner was quiet and after it William waited for Brieanna to finish washing the dishes. He already prepared a contract and the rules they needed to abide in his house.  When she finally finished, she gaze down the papers as she sits in front of him. "What are these for?" she asked him. "I forgot to give you the work contract and this on my right are the few rules I would like you to follow. Also if there are things you want me to follow you should list it so we can talk about it." Brieanna looked at the contract first, reading it as if she understands. Then she took a glimpse at William and to the pen he prepared. She reached for it and signed the contract.  "Didn't take you the exact time to read it," he uttered.  "Well if I did, I would still not understand all of it," she told him, putting the the contract and taking the rules.  The first rule was not to enter the room that is not yours and never enter nor open t

Brieanna stared at William's hand. Has anyone ever reached their hands for her to take, like this stranger in front of her? Has anyone ever waited for her to catch up to them? She slowly raised her head and saw how desperate he was. "Why are you so eager to save me?"  "Because you haven't seen the best in life yet, Brie. You've only seen the dark side of it. You can't tell the devils nor the angels that you've seen everything down here when you're just exploring one side," he replied. "Please, Brie. Let's go home." They stayed staring at each other as if the cold didn't bother them both. She sees it. The way her eyes are when she looks at the mirror. His ocean blue eyes were the same as her hazel ones. Dull. Finally, she turned her body around and got off the parapet. She placed her hand on his and he pulled her into a hug that made her eyes wide. "Damn you, Brie! Don't make me hold my breath like that again!" He was breathing heavily, ti

Today, Brieanna celebrates her day off. Like what William and her talked about, surfing is part of  today's agenda. She didn't want people to laugh at her so they decided not to practice at the public beach and just do it outside their house. An hour since they started catching waves and Brieanna had caught none at all. William kept going on with her duck diving and to paddle and paddle which she was not prepared even though they warmed up. The duck diving was really dreadful for her. Her board just doesn't go down no matter how much she tries. "I need a break!" she yells, panting. When she got to the shore, she just went and lay on the sand. She's pretty bad at it. The waves aren't even that big but her feet keeps getting swept off and she ends up falling before she could even stand. "It's your first day. You can get better," William said, sitting right next to her. "You totally flop though," he added, laughing softly which made her throw a dirt

The next day Brieanna was running late for work. At the entrance like always, she meets Richard and she waves at him while he says hi to her.  At the kitchen, her shoulders were really sore, she keep grunting every now and then. If she didn't need money she would have taken the day off.  "You okay, honey?" Veron asked her, noticing how she keeps massaging her an arm after another. "Yes, I uhm... I was a bit hard on myself practicing how to surf. I paddled too much," she replied, flashing Veron a smile. "I have a lot to learn." "Take it easy. Just have fun with it." Brieanna nodded. She will take it easy from now on. Just let things fall on their places while she do the things she loves. Like learning how to surf, needing to catch every wave and not just wait for the perfect one. Every wave is perfect, sometimes it is just not for you to ride it.     William was bored in his dad's office. He finished
