Jealous?
Riley's P.O.VCinema theatre?Is she out on a date?Why does this seem kinda unbelievable to me?I look away from the shutter and turn to my right, she focuses on driving her eyes fixed to the side mirror reversing the car to park."Who is your friend?," I ask curiously, my mind still eager to know the owner of the voice which I heard.She remains silent like she never heard me."Is your friend a male or female?," I lean forward in interest.She hits the break and looks at me, her expression enough to convey the message, I purse my lips to a flat line as I move back to unbuckle the seat belt.Why does she always have to be cold with the poker face?I step out the very next second after she closes the door, she walks ahead to the entrance not even once looking over her shoulder to check on me.Did I do something which made her mad?Is she enraged because I'm being a third wheel on her date?The only thing which I'm confused right now is that how can she find someone attractive when I'm

Behind the blue irises
Third Person P.O.VThe messy room is clean for once with no clothes around, some ornaments packed in a cardboard box. Riley stands straight after he tapes the boxes, he looks around a smile makes it's way on his lips when he spots the red blinking light at the corner of the room. Dusting his hands he pulls a chair and stands on it, he slowly pulls out the cameras fixed, his phone rings the very next second."Why did you remove the cameras?," Aiden questions as soon as he answers the call."I forgot to inform, I'm moving out," he sighs as he throws the camera to a bag."Where to?,""To my house,""Your house?,""The place where dad was staying, I find it useless to pay the rent with the money in hand,""Hmm, it's the first time I see you making sense," she jokes."I always make sense," Riley scowls, he chuckles when he realises that the call is hung before he spoke.The luxury room is brightened with enormous fascinating lights, the tables arranged with variety of deserts and wine.

Under one roof again
Riley's P.O.V.I wander into her room as she suggested me to sleep in her room and she will stay in Lisa's room. The bed is clean where the duvet is pulled over the mattress neat like it's been ironed, the things in the room is arranged in a away that you can remember the position of every thing inside at a single glance. I stroll over to the table by the window, the object which caught my eyes placed at the edge of the table, the frame. I take the frame, the clear glass contains no dust, the family photo of four in it. My lips spread to a grin when my thumb fondle on the picture of the little girl, the charcoal small eyes still attractive... She looks to be around twelve I guess... She is standing in front of her mother and her father is beside her mother and the young boy next to Aiden.He is thin and tall his features taking after her mother, maybe this the brother whom she mentioned. I replace the frame when she enters."What are you looking at?," She asks standing beside me.

The swag partners
Third Person P.O.VThe twilight sky with the fading moon and stars makes the outside still chilly. The door of Aiden's room still ajar. The little gap gives him the view of the living room and the shut wooden door at the other side of the living room. Riley bends himself as he peeps through the gap, his feet tapping the floor impatiently. He has not slept in peace, for once he laid on the bed but sat up straight immediately when his alarm of three rang.He waits by the door holding onto the knob, as it's already half past five in the morning; his eyes never leave the door in his sight. The creek of the door in the silent atmosphere energies him, a spontaneous smile forms on his lips when Aiden walks out, and he examines her attire of the blue suit. He stands straight and takes a deep breath, letting it out... He pushes the door open and walks out with slow steps. "You're leaving?," He asks drowsily as he scratches the back of his neck and let's out a nervous laugh, “What a coincident

Your choice my love
"Why the hell on earth you came here?," Aiden yells as she yanks the door of Chloe's car and gets in the driving seat."I received a call and," Riley buckles the seatbelt "They told me you're kidnapped,""Kidnapped?," She repeats aloud as she hits the steering wheel "Do you think that I can be kidnapped?," She snaps."I didn't think about it at that moment," he utters in a low voice."You could have called me right?,""I did it, numerous times but there was no answer,""You did?," She frowns taking out the phone from the blazer coat’s pocket, she switches it on "There was no signal I guess, luckily it worked for once," she inserts the phone back in the pocket "I'll get someone to take your car," she starts the engine."Whose car is this?," He breaks the long remained silent."Chloe's," she blurts her eyes never leaving the windscreen."Had a great time together?," Riley asks.The red light illumes by a roundabout, she faces him "Not bad.""Not bad, does it mean it's good?,"She takes a

The other side of her
Aiden’s gaze swivels around the almost empty ward, the noise of sliding doors and footsteps only to be heard, her pounding heart echoes in her ears as she stares at the red bulb above the door, the room in which Blake is treated. She is seated on the five row of chairs in front of the door, Lisa beside her. Her left cheek on Aiden’s right shoulder, her left arm wrapped around Aiden’s waist and her right hand on Aiden’s lap buried in her palms.Aiden moves her hand away from Lisa’s, she lifts Lisa’s head slow, holding onto her she stands. Gently she lays Lisa on the connected row of chairs. She squats down and removes Lisa’s shoes, she lifts her legs on the chairs. Riley stands straight moving away from the wall, he watches Aiden with knitted brows. He holds her hand when she walks pass him.“What are you doing?,” He asks stepping closer.“I gotta go,” Aiden snaps, rage flaring in her veins.“Where to?,” Riley looks at her for a second “I’m going with you,” he sighs.He lets g

Tangled tongues
Aiden’s P.O.VTwo days passed since Harry’s funeral, Blake came back to consciousness last night. I look straight at Riley, he focuses on eating, his abnormal silence makes me uncomfortable, he really releases the gloomy aura. That night after the hug he uttered no word unless I ask him any questions. He just coldly answers in brief and ends the conversation, he has been slamming the doors shut and sometimes dropping things to the floor but when I ask him what’s the matter he says nothing... I get his message, he is mad at me... I tried to talk to him but didn’t have the time as I spent more time in the hospital to let Lisa rest.Riley does his dishes and walks out the kitchen like I never existed. Letting out a low sigh I stand to follow him.“Riley,” I call out... He doesn’t stop and walks to my room.“Riley, wait,” my voice comes out loud this time, he finally stops near the bed.“Why the hell on earth are you so mad?,” I look at him when he turns around to face me.“Don’t y

A not so sweet date
Third Person P.O.VThe moving vehicles are watched by the pair of charcoal orbs for a while, Aiden lets out a sigh and gets up from the bench when the bus to home arrives, she looks around one more time and keeps a step ahead, she stops when the familiar sound of horn hits her ear drums... A smile sweeps across her lips as she spins, she walks to the car her eyes never leaves Riley who watches her through the windscreen... She gets in and buckles up the seatbelt...“Are you mad at me?,” Riley asks.“Nope, Why?,” her thin brows meet, she moves forward from the seat and looks at him curiously.“Because I’m late,” he shrugs.“Why should I be mad just because you are late? It’s obvious that you’re late because you went to get the car,” she raises her brows questionably.Riley curls in his lower lip with his tongue and stares at her for a second, his mind trying to analyse his next statement “Never mind,” he exhales, scratching the back of his head he looks straight at the windscree

Eric looks up taken back, his eyes wide surprised, the only question in his head: What are they doing?The five men fight against the two but couldn’t lay a finger on them. One of the men steps aside and tramples nearer to Eric, he pops a pocket knife. Eric pushes him when the knife cuts his hand meat, the man cocks the knife and hops forward.
