IRIS
As I made my way to my work place aka Sweet Auroma Cafe, cold wind hit my body as they hastily passed through me.
Though it was a summer morning, it was quite chilly but again I was always cold.
“We need an inbuilt warmer in all your dresses, love."
Tristan's word came back to me and I could help but smile.
I looked down at my analog watch to see it was currently 6:40 a.m. and the cafe was supposed to open at 8 but all the staff was supposed to report a hour earlier.
Suddenly the conversation I had with Tristan in the ice - cream parlour invaded my mind.
“I think it's time to make a deal.", he said while a smirk was permanently plastered on his unfortunately perfect place.”
The word deal caught my mind as I quickly asked,“What deal?"
“Patien
IRIS"Drugs to calm myself.", I blurted out as dizziness started taking over.My anxiety was taking the best of me. It was demanding.It was like I could see my end. But I knew better.I needed those pills immediately.I glance through my wet lashes to see that Tristan stood rigid as if thinking of something.“Love, take deep breaths. Look at me.", Tristan begged through my hazy view but it wasn't working.I tried mimicking him but it was difficult to do so.I started feeling suffocated and soon my weak knees gave up. I should have fallen on the ground if it was not for Tristan' s quick reflex to catch my cold body."I need the pills.", I shouted in frustration before I could find myself sobbing and begging to him to give me the drugs.Yes, drugs.The only thing that
TRISTAN“I want you to come with me to San Francisco, the evening itself."“You are crazy.", Iris hissed in a shrill voice.I smirked.A fake one as all I wanted to do was crumble in front of her and beg for her to forgive me but I know that won't help as she is in dire need of that help.I need to take her with me.What have you been through mio fiore?“Crazy barbarian!", she hissed again but more to herself this time.How can I explain her that I am only crazy for her?“Only for you my love.", I said toying with her hair and luckily she didn't flinch.Bingo!“But..", she started to say something but I put my finger on her lips.“Ssh.. Think about poor Martha's cafe and that Asher boy's job.", I said shutting h
IRISAs soon as these words left my mouth, Tristan abruptly stopped in the middle of the way. I could see, he was contemplating whether to reach out to me or not.Maybe he didn't expect me to say such a thing but I only stated a true fact about myself. I can't be this selfish, I needed to warn him that he was playing with a lifeless soul and non of his actions will intrigue me.“Iris. I-I...", he was at lost of words as a hurt look crossed his face but being the expert at masking his feeling, he hid them.You haven't changed much...“You won't change my heart towards you, Mr. Knight.", I said calmly while keeping my face neutral.“That time will tell, mio fiore.", Tristan said while he curled his hand in determination.Wrong, Tristan.You are wrong. You may be a charmer, but I am no ordi
IRISA duffel bag and a shoulder bag along with that teddy is all that I packed.Most of the space was occupied by my medicines and prescriptions but it was not like I owned alot of belongings apart from my 'I have nothing in my wardrobe' clothes which Tristan asked me not to carry.I went back to my living room where Triatan was uncomfortably seated on my almost broken couch.I bit my lips to stop myself from laughing.No doubt the placed looked small in comparison to him but at least he had stopped giving me those looks clearly saying 'I can't believe you lived here.'But still he looked so... odd in this place.I sighed and went to the charging point to remove my antique phone from charging but what can one say it's all I can afford."Are we.."Tristan was cut by a knock on the door. The only person I w
TRISTANAs we walked near the jet, I saw my flower looking at it with wide eyes."When did you buy a private plane?", she asked making a cute confused face.During our marriage, my business was well established but not rich enough for me that I could afford a private jet."During the time when we were apart, I was able to buy 3 private planes. Today I am the top business tycoon in the world, my sweet.", I answered taking pride in my achievements.I looked at Iris to see her simply nod her head.I sighed.It will take alot more work as she has never been a materialistic person."Lets go.", I softly said.I tried moving my hand towards her small back but before I could touch her she eyed me with a look ‘what on Earth are you doing'.Thus I was forced to retreat my hand with a heavy hea
IRISIt hurts.My chest hurts.I was mentally screaming this thing in my head for a while now.After my sobs subdued and I created my distance from Tristan which neither he liked for his own reasons nor I liked due to the lack of warmth and soon a strong wave of pain enwrapped my chest.Maybe my poor heart didn't actually appreciated my crying and for all of this I completely blame those paparazzi.Like uninvited guest, they showed up at the airport and bombarded us with their questions. Some of their questions made me question already my self doubted dignity. In simple words, though it was my first encounter with them but I already hate them.Soon a pair of closed golden gates came in view. Beyond those gates, stood a mansion proudly. The mansion screamed luxury and money.As the car came in front of the gates, the gates
IRIS"IRIS!"I could hear someone yelling my name but I was too exhausted to pay attention. My knuckles were bleeding, my legs were hurting and the cold water was making my numb body hurt as if thousand of thorns were pricking my skin and making way to my broken soul.I felt two warn hands holding my shoulders. Not again, I have no energy to fight any one. That person gently dragged me out of the cold shower as my legs gave up and I fell on the ground. I could fell movement next to me as next thing I know was hot breathes torturing the cold nape of my neck.I looked up in his deep blue eyes which were skimming through my soul. I could see so many emotions in those devilish blue eyes that I was forced to turn my head.But soon his long fingers came down my chin as I was forced to look in his eyes. Tristan's face held pain and guilt."Why?", Tristan asked in
IRISI got out of the shower and wrapped the fluffy pick towel around my petite body. I rushed to the walk in closet and dressed in a random hoodie with boyfriend jeans.I left my hair to dry naturally while I applied a moisturizer to my face. One thing I hated while growing up was using blow dryer, nothing personal but just the thought of using it never settled well with me.I was about to leave the room when a thought entered my mind. I should take medicines. Ideally I shouldn't have bothered about taking them I just don't want to create a scene down after listening to Tristan. So it was best I take my medicines.I went back to the closet where my duffle bag was kept in the bottom right shelf. I dragged it out and opened it to find a small container consisting of my medicines. I have enough medicines to last me two weeks but after that I need to buy them.I took out the
