The shattered glasses lay on the floor beside the overturned stool, while they just stood, gawking at everything to divert their minds from the thoughts of the previous incident. Without thinking much, she made an involuntary attempt to gather the glasses with her bare hands, but he grabs her wrist, suspending her hand midway to the floor."In situations like this, you employ the use of the mechanoid. It can attend to basic tasks as this. All you have to do is just instruct it!" He protests. She nods and clears her throat, before retreating from him to get the mechanoid. The silence created an uneasy atmosphere, as he sought for things to do, so as to return to his original state of mind. As the mechanoid took care of the shattered glasses, she clears her throat, summed up the courage and walks up to him.“I think the rain has finally subsided. I might not get this chance ever again!” she said gauchely.“What chance?” He impatiently asked, thinking she understood his emotions towa

While on the rooftops of skyscrapers guarding the world, he thought of the event that transpired between them. Just when he had planned to make the night a perfect one for both of them, he screwed it. Inasmuch as he wanted to criticize himself, he saw reasons for leaving at that point in time. It was his duty after all as the vigilante of earth to attend to all those screams and roars ringing in his ears every passing moment. But he blamed himself for the approach he used, he ruined his happiness as well as hers. He was dumb after all, like she said. Few minutes after he has calmed the roars, he came back hoping to find her still awake and perhaps make up for his messy attitude. But he found her asleep on the bamboo couch after her futile attempts to find her way back to the mansion. She has revolved endlessly at the small garden and gave up. He sits close to her. Lifting her head gently, he placed it on his laps.“Am sorry I couldn’t give you the goodnight you deserved" He stroked he

“Am sorry!” he clears his throat and pulls away too. “You were about to remove the spider right?” He asked.“Yes of course" She flashed out a short awkward smile. They knew they missed a rare coming opportunity, yet they pretended they never cared and avoided each other’s gaze. He thought of something to say to break the awkward silence that lingered.“Let’s not sit here, we did not get our asses stuck in the car for twelve minutes just to sit. Let’s explore the woods” He suggests.Without hesitation, they set out into the wood.“How often do you come here?” she asked as they walked.“It is my second time of coming here. The first time was to dispose the corpses of the people I murdered” He simply answered with an intention of creating a shuddering atmosphere that would scare her.She looks around frantically before finally grasping his intention of scaring her. “So you don’t know these woods very well, I take it?” She asked again with her brows raised questioningly.“No!” he simply

PRESENTLY“It has been two weeks since he disappeared without a word. I tried calling severely, but he is not responding. Do you think he is mad about the mail i sent?” she asked pacing to and fro. She has predicted how things would turn up after he reads it. Maybe his other personality has taken over him consequently making him forget he has a home to return to.“Calm down honey, maybe he is on a business trip, you know one of those trips that wealthy men of his status goes to" Katy shrugs. "Don't worry too much about the mail, take a deep breath and a bite of this freshly baked bread, am sure it will make you feel different” Katy encouraged. “All you think about is food kate! And of course i would like some of those, pass me the butter too” She requests, finally relenting.“I thought you said there were no strings attached? If i could recall vividly, you boldly denied that he wasn't your boyfriend” Katy winked. “Now you are worried because he hasn’t cal

“Are you insane? The cops would come after us in no time. At least that is if we are not dead by then” Lia protest as Liam speeds across the long straight road.She screamed at the top of her voice, holding on to anything she could find for safety. But as the ride progressed, she began to enjoy the feel of it. Her fun was ruined by the siren of the police cars chasing after them.“Oh my God, I think we are in big trouble” She panicked, tugging the unconcerned Liam who continued regardless."Pull over, pull over now!" The cops shouted, following close behind."Few months ago, you only cared about your reputation. Aren't you bothered they might see your face and know it's you?" She asked, her heart sounding out of her ears."Don't spoil the fun, I know you are saying all these because scared" He teased. "The usual Lia is suppose to act bold in this kind of situation, or did you leave your courage back in the house?" He teased again."Believe me, if they knew I was a Michaelson, they
