EMINENT
I gulped and my hands began to shiver. I had the opportunity to kiss him and feel his wet juicy lips, but I just couldn't. His eyes were already closed and I was just wandering my eyes. I had never felt this nervous before.
My heart was beating crazily fast and I didn't even know what to do. I narrowed my eyes to his chest region. I could see those muscular body since he undid three of his button.
I tightened my eyes and I let out a deep sigh. I slowly opened my eyes and saw his eyes were already opened. Our eyes met each other.
I was still holding his collar and his face was at my face length. We wandered our eyes left and right but still glared at each other. I was starting to feel pressure in the air, it felt like I stopped breathing and the clock stopped ticking. Our mouths were literally almost in contacts.
"Thank you." My voice was barely heard, I felt intimidated and it sounded in my voice. I slowly released his collar and blinked my eyes repeatedly, my hands were all sweaty and I couldn't even face him.
He stood properly and he looked very uncomfortable. He was looking taller than normal, probably because I wasn't wearing my heels. I looked at him, trying to make it less awkward.
"I think I will go." I removed my gaze from his and just turned back. I let out a silent sigh and tightened my eyes even more. I shook my head and was walking towards his door.
"Wait." His cold voice interrupted my legs from moving further. I gasped and turned to face him.
"Next time, don't risk what you did." He paused and he gave a callous look, "don't behave careless."
Those words sent shivers down my spine, it made an extra awakard moment that wasn't needed. The silence made it more awkward and our eyes staring at each other.
"I won't." I said coldly, breaking the silence. I didn't regret coming at all, I decided never to regret a situation. "I'll be going." I spoke silently and avoided eye contact. I smiled a little and left the room quietly.
SUSAN
I covered the white duvet all over my body, letting a deep sigh. I had never felt bored and frustrated. I was frustrated because of what Emi did yesterday, and felt so bored. It was almost a month since I got here and crazy things had already happened. But I was enjoying it so far.
My mind diverted from Emi and it went to Henry. I removed the duvet from my face and looked at the white ceiling. The smile on my face could tear my face apart. I didn't care if I was daydreaming about him or I was starting to like him, but, I couldn't lie, he was just in my mind. I even wondered whether I liked him, I couldn't say.
I wondered what I wanted to say at the restaurant, if Emi hadn't called. The smile grew wider and I could feel my cheeks red. I squeashed and made funny noises. I turned to my left and let out a happy sigh.
All the embarrassing memory I had with him seemed unrealistic. The memory of how he came to save me from my mom, they were all flashing in my head. He was like a book heroine to me and he mostly did the impossible.
I paused and I thought to myself, I never called my brother to ask. I completely forgot about my mom's unforgettable behavior.
My smile turned to a frown. I rolled to my right and picked my phone on the small table beside my bed. I unlocked it with my thumb print, and the large screen opened and I went to contacts. I pressed the search button and typed Ben, my younger brother name. I clicked on it and the call was forwarding.
It started ringing constantly and there was no reply. I was about cutting when he picked.
"You remembered me today?" He said in his annoying tune. Well, I couldn't blame him, I completely forgot I had a brother that was six years younger than me. Once I paid his allowance in his account, we were never connected.
"Is mom home?" I asked in a rude way but cared less.
He started laughing uncontrollably, and his laughter made my head to spark. I was so frustrated but he just kept laughing.
"Ben?" I bit my lips and my frown grew even more. I was holding myself back and didn't want to lose control.
He stopped laughing but I could still hear giggles.
I rolled my eyes and I didn't think I could hold back my anger.
"Okay fine fine." He bursts into another laughter.
"Don't forget who gives you money, Ben!" I bit my lips harder and I was already so frustrated.
"Money?" He stopped laughing and he said it incredulously, scoffing along with those words. "I heard from month you are completely jobless!" His tune became completely rude, behaving the exact opposite of amiable.
I widened my eyes and my frown became more. I checked my phone to see who I was calling but it was my brother. I placed it back in my ear, angrily confused. My hands were all sweaty and water in my eyes, not because I was feeling emotional, I was feeling annoyed.
"Have you never wondered why we were so distant?" His rhetorical question was getting on my nerves. "Mom and dad acted so nicely and never scolded you once, not because they like you, you were just a money machine for them."
Those tears became more and I held unto my phone tightly. "It seems like you have watched too much films. Don't regret your words Ben!"
"Regret?" He scoffed again in the same incredulous tune, "it seems like you forgot for a moment, they're not your biological parents, neither am I."
"Ben!" I screamed very loudly, everyone could hear if it wasn't a sound proof room. I started panting and widened my eyes. "I'll try to forget what you said."
"Don't waste my time Susy, bye." He cut the call.
My hands were shivering and I had never felt this annoyed. What just happened to me? Never for once had he mentioned something like that.
I was getting more sweaty and those tears refused to come out. I staggered to the small table and still couldn't get myself. I opened the drawer and I was looking for my calming pills. I finally found it but it was empty.
"Argh!' I threw it to the floor with frustration.
What has happened to my life, all of a sudden? What happened to being a perfect person and all?
I sat on my bed and I was trying to think straight. My heart beat was going crazily fast. I stood and wandered my eyes everywhere but I didn't know what to do.
I walked out of my room and rested on the door. I had never felt so shattered before but I felt not only devastated but lonely.
I held clutching of a door from my right. I turned and I saw Henry walking towards me. He kept walking but it seemed like he was passing by.
"Wait." My silent voice stopped him from moving further.
He turned to his left and he was facing me. "Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned voice, probably shocked to see me in this state.
I looked at him but didn't know what to say next. "Would you like to have a drink with me?" Those words flew like rivers.
