A Step Closer to Love CLXXIX
Everyone gasped as they heard what Aurora said out loud. She realised what she had done, the words she intended to say to herself had found their way out of her mouth. She let out a flustered grunt as she took a step back, her body hitting the wall behind her."What?" Kimberly was forced to let out. Her mind finally began to understand what was going on and why she was dragged there. Aurora had told her about the relationship between Kieran and a coworker but had assured her that Kieran always only thought about her and was in the relationship to forget her. She could not believe she was pulled into such a mess. Her mind ran wild as she thought of how shameless she had been in the past few minutes. "Kieran," she said gently taking a step towards him."Was this your plan? To humiliate yourself in front of all these people?" Kieran asked with a smirk as he gestured to the room full of staff."I swear I did not know all that," Kimberly said.As much as she still felt a spark for him, she

"Everything was going so great until this tramp came along" Aurora screamed standing in front of Arabella. She wanted to lay her hands on her but decided against it in case anything went wrong. She was not interested in spending her day and night at the police station."Going great?" Kieran scoffed as he held Arabella's hand tightly to his side. "There has never been anything between us," he said bitterly. "The only reason we are here standing eye to eye is because of Ryder" Kieran added pointing to the direction Ryder was standing. "We would have lost contact a long time ago" Aurora took a step back. "Sounds like you hate me" "I have never hated you but you seem to be giving me a reason to do so" "You just had to date her didn't you?" Aurora asked pointing to Arabella. Arabella did not like the situation, she wished there was a way to escape from the place but between the firm grip on her wrist and the stares from her co-workers, she knew it was practically impossible. They all

"I thought we were friends how can you keep such a secret away from me" Chole said as she took the cup of beer in front of her to her mouth.She had successfully been able to take Arabella out of the office before Kieran got the chance to do so. They both saw how messy everything unfolded and how unpretty their relationship announcement was to the entire office. Arabella knew that she would need to discuss with Kieran soon, she was not even aware of what the details of the discussion were going to be but she knew it was important for them."It's been only three days" she said swirling her soda in hand. "Today is the third day" she added with a smile on her face. "What's that?" Chole gagged as she held her chest."I thought you found Kieran hot?" Arabella asked when she saw her reaction. There was no doubt about his appearance. He had an advantage in that aspect. It was always as though he stepped out of a movie or book. "Yes but who thought you would go ahead and snag the handsome

Chole pushed Arabella towards the car. "Aren't you going to come with us? He can drop you off" Arabella offered. Even though she offered she hoped that Chole would decline, she had not had a chance to be alone with him all day and all she hoped for at that moment was some time with just him."You are inviting me but I can hear the unspoken words. I'll pass" she said nudging her a bit more to the car. "It's no big, we can drop you off" Arabella continued urging. She turned to Kieran. "It's okay if we drop her off at home right?" "Of course," Kieran said. It won't take long to take her home so it was not that much of a big deal for him. "And sit with you both act like lovers and remind me of my single life? No thanks," she said taking a step back and crossing her hands across her chest."You had a drink, it might not be safe for you to be alone" Arabella wanted to be alone with him but she did not want to leave her friend all alone out at night after a drink. "It's fine, I'm barely
A Step Closer to Love CLXXXIII
Aurora paced up and down her living room in annoyance, she could not tell if it was the day that made her so mad or if it was because she was rejected by Kieran once again. With each step she took her annoyance rose and she only thought of what she could do to feel better. She hated that the thoughts that came to mind were violent but she loved the way they put her heart at ease. They way they left a smile across her face. She felt pushed more to get those things done.Arabella had offended her so it would not be wrong if she offended her as well. "An eye for an eye" she murmured to herself as she nodded her head."A little kidnapping and threatening should work" she added and felt an evil smile climb her face and the urge to cackle out loud strong within her.At that very moment, she knew that she could not be alone, there was no way she could get to pull off such a thing on her own. She did not know how or what to do so she got her brother a call. He would know better about those t

Aurora smirked to herself as she began to feel confident about the situation. She knew he would feel moved by money and she had not even mentioned the amount. She was glad she had a savings and investment plan she could pull out if her emergency funds were not enough to pull off her plan. At that moment all she thought about was how to hurt Arabella and she was currently blinded by it."I need to kidnap and threaten someone for a little bit" "What?" of all the things Carlos thought his sister would say committing a crime was not one of them. "Yeah just for a little bit" she added nonchalantly as though she had not just asked him to commit a crime."Aurora, I cannot commit a crime just because you said so," he said gently hoping that she would snap out of whatever it was she was going through at that time. "Then maybe you can connect me with someone who would do it" "Aurora snap out of it" "You snap out of it," she screamed out. "I have lived this perfect life all my years just be

Kieran and Arabella stood in front of the door to her room, they had been standing there for a while now. Kieran did not invite her for tea and it was obvious from the way he was clinging to her and the way she could not let go of his hands that they were not ready to be apart yet. "I guess we should say good night now" Arabella finally let out. "Good night?" Arabella could not tell if she heard him clearly ask her or if her mind was playing tricks on her. She pressed her lips into a line and nodded her head."Or" she began with a squeaked voice as his eyes brightened up with expectations of whatever it was that she was about to suggest."Do you want to come in?" she asked. He went silent. He did not know what he was expecting but not her being this forward about the situation. He felt a bit flustered, she had been the only girl who had managed to make him feel that way a couple of times. "Just for a minute so your legs don't hurt from standing out here since you have been standing
A Step Closer to Love CLXXXVI
Arabella felt herself kissing back as her hand roamed his neck. It had only been a few seconds but the kiss was definitely hotter than the first one they had. She pulled away with all the self-control she had and stood apart breathless as she tried to catch herself."Your dad" she managed to let out and he shook his head."What does he have to do with this?" Kieran asked confused."He is only a few rooms down, we can't be doing this here" she replied. Her eyes danced in their sockets and Kieran saw them as an invitation. "Doing what?" he asked closing the gap between them that she had created."This" she motioned between each other. She felt a bit bad about the situation. His parents had given her a room and place to stay and the way she had to repay them was by being their son's girlfriend."Is there anything wrong with kissing my girlfriend?" he asked taking a lock of her hair away from her face. "There isn't, but..." she trailed off her eyes falling to her feet.His hand quickly
