A Racing Heart Chapter 76
It happened all of a sudden. One second I was admiring the burst of colours in the sky and the next second, Byron was pulling me dangerously close. Before I understood what was going on he was kissing me. It was a gentle kiss, I didn't feel repulsed by his sudden actions instead a warm feeling enveloped my entire being as my heart skipped a beat.As I kissed him back, I didn't think about why he kissed me or what this would mean in the long run or even the fact that we were in a public place. The only thought that crossed my mind was how I most definitely tasted like the corn dogs I had earlier.By the loud boom of another set of fireworks being set off did we break apart. I looked at Byron, my eyes held confusion and surprise. His face carried a gentle smile while his eyes beheld mine like I was the only person in the world. Sometimes, it overwhelmed me how expressive his eyes could be. I looked up at the last fireworks faded away leaving the sky in darkness once more. At one point,

Sometimes Lilian surprised me. She could be so fierce all off a sudden then be a blushing mess the next second. The moment she demanded to know what I did and I told her "I just kissed you." The way her jade green eyes lowered I could imagine the silly thoughts that filled her mind.I better be straightforward when talking to her otherwise it could cause misunderstandings. So I told her simply "Because I like you, Lilian" By how surprised she looked, she wasn't expecting those words from me. "What?"I let out a sigh. I thought from my recent actions were obvious enough in showing my feelings. "I kissed you because I like you, pure and simple.""Do you really mean that?" "Of course, I have no reason to lie. I like you and I want to give us a shot and be an actual couple." From the moment I realized how I felt, I wanted to break away from the contractual part of our relationship and make it really. I was expecting different reactions out of her but I didn't expect her to start cry

As I stared at my phone in the closet where I was currently hiding from Byron, I couldn't bring myself to call Kayla though I knew her anger wouldn't last too long.I decided to send her a text, it'd be better to meet up and talk face-to-face.§ Hey my love, let's meet. Pick a place and time.§§ You're so dead.§ came the immediate reply. She sent me a location and set the time to 1pm this afternoon.After facing Kayla, I mustered the courage to face Byron. I slid the closet door open and came to face Byron who was pacing the room. He had a worried expression on his face.When he saw me, he rushed to me and gently placed his hands on my shoulder."Are you okay? Did I offend you with my words? I'm really sorry." He removed his hands and made them hover over my shoulder instead.I grabbed his hand and held it, rubbing it with my thumb in a clockwise manner. "I'm fine, just a bit embarrassed." I chuckled awkwardly.The frown on his face dissipated as his lips curved into a smile. "I'm gla

I couldn't keep the smile off my face. Lilian and I were finally together, it felt surreal. This morning was the first of many more mornings to come. It was like we were dating but we were already married so it was weird like that.I thought about the future. Waking up next to her, going on dates, late night talks, snuggling on the couch, cooking together, vacations. Maybe we could even start a family.I smiled at the thought. I knew I was getting ahead of myself. We just shared our first real kiss yesterday and here I was thinking about kids. I flipped through channels to while away the time. Sometimes I didn't know what to do with myself during the holidays, when I could be working. I stumbled on a cooking show. Right! I should work on my cooking skills.It wasn't that long when I heard the door open. I wasn't expecting her back so soon. I walked to the foyer to welcome her. She was taking off her boots. "Weren't you going out with Kayla? I thought you'd be gone the whole day."No

I felt disgusted by his gentle smile as he greeted me. I felt angry at his inquiring words. I did not want to be in his presence, so the next thing I did was move back to my room.He foolishly tried to stop me. How dare he touch me! Those same hands must have held Regina close. How could his deceptive lips utter my name. The way he told me he liked me, he must have confessed to Regina the same way. I shut the door in his face and locked it for good measure. I heard a knock at the door. "Lilian, could you talk to me. If you don't tell me, how will I know what's wrong and how can I fix it?"That calm understanding voice which I fell for it. I didn't want him to fix anything. All I wanted was for him to stay away from me. But it seems like I couldn't even have that as he knocked the door every few minutes, as if to remind me of his unwavering presence.I would have unwittingly cracked by his determination if I hadn't seen the way he held her in those pictures.I felt a tear run down m

After getting no response from Lilian, I got up from the floor massaging my stiff limbs. It was already dark out, that's how long I've been seating here. I thought she would at least talk to me through the shut door, if she didn't want to see me but I guess I thought wrong. I went downstairs to get a drink of water. As I walked back to her room to resume my position, I saw the door crack open and she peeked out. I hid away when I saw that. Seeing no one, she snuck downstairs. After a few moments she returned with a plate and shut the the door again.There's no doubt about it, she's avoiding me but why?At least she wasn't starving herself. I returned to my room and I noticed the difference as soon as I stepped in. Apart from the room being scattered, Lilian had cleared the room of her things. I sat on my bed with a sigh, running my fingers through my hair, messing it up. Why was she acting like this? Was it what I said?Is it because I was teasing her this morning? Is that why she

Nina went all out for the dinner. The Christmas tree and decorations were still there but there were new additions."They are here." Rose shouted, barraging towards us. She was the first to see us. She engulfed me in a hug, almost lifting me off the ground. Almost."How are you?" I asked her, brushing her hair away from her eyes which gleamed with excitement."I'm fine. It feels like it's been a year since I last saw you." She grinned."I saw you last week." She pouted, turning to face Byron."Hey brother of mine." She greeted. Byron gave an awkward smile as he led the way to the dining room."What's wrong with my brother?" She asked. "Now that I think about it, your smile seems so fake. Did you guys fight?" "Where are the twins?" I asked instead, not answering the question. She gave a knowing smirk."They are with your dad. They should be coming down soon.""My dad is here already?""He got here not too long ago." I nodded as we made our way to the dining room. I heard footsteps beh

The house was decorated as per usual. This was normally enough to put me in high spirits but nothing could cheer me up this evening.I watched as Lilian spoke with Rose, a small smile on her face and immediately felt jealous. I wished she'd look at me that way."Hey brother of mine." Rose suddenly called out, catching me off guard. I smiled at her, not saying anything instead walking towards the dining room. For a moment, I felt like an outsider as I watched her converse with everyone. She got along so well with my family as I saw Mum's eyes light up at the sight of her.I had the entirety of last night and this morning or think about what she told me. The guilt was eating me up. What I did was unacceptable. I could imagine how hurt she felt when she learnt everything from Regina no less. She would have felt all what I told her. My feelings, my actions, my words, everything will seem like a lie to her.I sat on the dining table. Lilian sat beside her brother earning looks from the fa
