It was like a slow fire, that has been set, a fire that needs to burn, a fire that needs to spread, a fire that is been covered and was begging for freedom.
That was the feeling both girls had as they stare at each other, it was almost impossible to look away but finally Lauren did, she clung unto Maximum even more as he gently leads her to what seems like a stage.
Lauren finally looked at him, coincidentally he was also putting on a sliver colour suite,
Did he know she was going to choose the sliver colour dress.
" you look beautiful" Maximum voiced out.
" you looked copy cat" Lauren said, Maximum gave her a smile which only her could see, of course she alone should see his smile.
" didn't know you were going to choose sliver" he answered her.
" really?"
" Yes, our hearts might be working the same don't you think so?" Lauren almost busted out laughing but remembering that they're in a social gathering and she shouldn't do anything that will humiliate her, she controlled herself.
„ I think so" she said.
The nervousness from earlier was completely gone, Lauren watched as Maximum speak with few people before introducing her to them, no one was allowed to touch her, they're simply made to nod at her in acknowledgement.
they went round and round greeting everyone, later on, Maximum gave her a glass of wine to drink, he made sure to control the amount of drinks she has, he also taste the drinks Frist before giving it to her.
Lauren didn't complain, she knew he was doing it all for her own good, she never for once left his side.
" I wonder what it will be like to see you off those clothes" Gloria who has been watching Maximum closely suddenly had a voice behind, she didn't even need a seer to tell her who it was, the way he breathes on her neck send Shriver down her spine, she took a deep breath to relax her mind.
" you've been staring at him for so long, I wonder why" he said, pretending to be talking to himself when he was actually talking way to close to Gloria's ear.
Gloria put a little distance between them, as she's not sure why her body is reacting this way.
" what do you want?" she asked with a strict face.
" do you perhaps like him?" Clifford asked.
Gloria scoffed,
yes Maximum is every girls dream guy, but not hers'.
" I don't" Gloria replied, she kept her gaze at Maximum, she didn't want to lose any opportunity in killing him.
„ but you seems not to be able to take your eyes off him, am kinda jealous" he said, faking been hurt,
Gloria was dumbfounded,
like what kind of a guy is this?
she choose to ignore him by walking away, but he held her arm preventing her from during so.
" what's the meaning of this?" Gloria asked, she was already getting annoyed by the man's attitude.
" stay with me for a while" he said and before Gloria could protect against it, he rapped his hands round her waist from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.
" it's so comfortable like this" he murmured much to Gloria's displeasure since his voice was during strange things to her.
" Mr Clifford, can you not do this" Gloria said, yet no response from the man rather she was hearing him breathing soundly, she twisted her neck to the right to notice him sleeping.
what the f*ck!
how can he sleep like this?
is he comfortable?
Gloria didn't know what to do, she stood there, with her mind running wild, her heart was suddenly beating fast, her heart loves this but still why does it ache?
why does it feel painful having him close to her?
why does he make her feel happy yet sad at the same time,
she just doesn't understand anything.
" are you crying?" Clifford's voice brought her back to reality, carefully she adjusted herself, Clifford released her from his grip.
" did I hurt you?" he asked with a worry look, he even begun to check her body.
Gloria didn't even realise she was already crying until she touched her cheek and felt the liquid flowing drop her eyes.
she wiped them off instantly with the back of her hand.
" it's nothing, am fine" she told him, she turned her gaze to where Maximum previously was standing with Lauren holding unto him.
she needs to find a way of getting closer to him, and also she needs to confirm what she felt earlier with that girl.
" maybe I will have to kill him to get your attention all to myself" Clifford grumbled.
Gloria choose to ignore him, she took few steps forward but was stopped when she noticed something.
" they will kill you before you kill him" Clifford told her, her gazed left the numerous guards round the ballroom to Clifford.
" you can't touch him killer twin" Gloria widen her eyes in shock and disbelief.
" don't worry, I won't tell anyone, because you can't kill him, even if you try"
Gloria was about to ask him another question when an explosion occurred, causing everyone to begin running.
another bang was heard followed by a wild fire, the guests didn't know where it was coming from and no one which to know.
out of instincts, Clifford reached out for Gloria, he held her to himself and began to lead her through the exit.
" my brother, i can't go without him" Gloria tried to free herself from Clifford's grip, but the man was extraordinary strong, he didn't even bug, it was as if her safety was his major priority.
on the other hand, Lauren was already been carried in a bridal style by Maximum, both wanted to make for the exit only to be blocked by three wolves.
Lauren was speechless, these wolves changed before her very own eyes, they were humans so how can humans change into Wolf?
as confused as she was, she didn't bother asking much since Maximum was here with her, there is nothing for her to worry about right?.
