MELVIN The candle’s flame danced down the hall as it cast a bleak reminder of their sneaking shadow inthe darkness.The curtains blew in the light after– winter breeze as a lamp hung against the wall cast a soft glow upon their paths.Melvin let the door close slowly behind her as he let her into Claire's room, he looked to either direction of the hallway before closing the door behind them.Claire was standing by her window with her hands to her akimbo while the other held a wine glass half filled with red wine that was most noticably her favorite considering the number of times she had seen her drinking it.She looked from one sibling to another wondering why she had to be dragged into their affair, it was a place she certainly didn't want to be in.She had barely yes when he dragged her through the room to Claire's.Khloe had protested till he left her hands and let her walk voluntarily right in front of him, not once had she stopped to look back from fear of seeing every em
MELVINTHOUGH it was pre-planned she could see Melvin couldn't stop himself from almost laughing, he gave little muffled sounds and watched as the drama unfolds right before his eyes.Emma couldn't help herself from shrieking out in shock, surprised about what just happened.She looked up at Khloe wondering what she could do with her."Are you blind, were you not watching your way?" She screamed at the top of her voice throwing her hands frantically in the air."I am so sorry I must have kicked something." Khloe said, trying to apologize again.Emma couldn't believe the fact that he was actually sitting down there doing nothing, he didn't even flinch or react when the drinks spilled on her.Of course it wasn't his fault that the drinks had spilled, it was the fault of the careless clumsy maid, she however would have loved a bit for drama from Jhim not just…She heaved heavily and grumbled saying something he couldn't hear under her breath. She shot him one good look again before rema
THERE was nothing more exciting coming from the dinning than candle flickering, beating heart and silence.A lot of silence, it was easy to read the mood of the room not because she was there behind the door with Claire shielded away from Emma's view but because the energy was so glaring to see.It was obvious there was a reacher and settler between the two, and it was most definitely clear who was whose.One fact was that the quiet seemed to be eating her deep in a way she couldn't explain, the entire drive of it crawling through her nerves at the thought of what plan B truly was.She had asked the two about it insisting they told her what it was but all they said was she was going to find out if they ever needed it.They had just one plan and that was to find a way to get Emma angry to the extent that she walked out, but clearly this was not the same Emma they knew from year's back who took fashion as a priority as even after ruining her beautiful evening dress there she was still
MELVIN HE stole her breath away with the cleft of his and he did it so discreetly like that was what he had been doing his whole life, she could feel her lungs burning for air and more of it.She had always wondered what it was like to kiss Melvin and she had her wish, she was kissing him lips to lips, heartbeat to heartbeat, soul to soul.It was meant to be just a mere touching of lips with him but right now at that same moment she wouldn't mind kissing him till infinity.Emma stared at them blindly, unable to move away from where she was, her eyelids fluttering from the events unfolding before her eyes .That was the height of it, she wouldn't sit to take it anymore but this won't certainly be the end of it as she is not ready to let things slide that easily.She stood up from where she had been sitting by then the two had stopped kissing.Khloe's fingers were trembling as they reached for her lips, touching them as if to feel if it was still there, if it still had life.She tried
KHLOE Hearing her name she turned and looked him straight in the eyes, she could hear his heartbeat from where she was and could have sworn to herself that they had one thing in common and that was a racing heart.If given a chance she would have kissed him forever as she could see his eyes boring so deep into her soul."Thank you." He muttered to her.His words sounded to her almost as a whisper."Was that it?""Is that the end of everything?" Khloe asked herself as she walked out of the door.Claire was at the door waiting and most probably eavesdropping."You did well." She said immediately she saw Khloe walking out."Where is Melvin?" She asked."He should be inside." Khloe said as she made to walk away from where she was standing .Claire held her hand and she seemed to be the most excited among the three."So how was the kiss?" Claire Whispered."Just there." She lied.How else could she most probably explain to Claire that the kiss had meant everything to her and even given th
KHLOEHE was in her heart and he was everywhere and all it took him was a kiss, just that and nothing more.Khloe fluttered her eyes and could see he had vanished into thin making her doubt if he had been there to start with.Was she going insane with just one kiss?Was that all it would take him to bring the wall she had built around herself all through her adult life crashing down like it were made of mere paper?She kissed her teeth in disgust of herself.If Melvin kiss could do this then most certainly his touch would set her on fire and his passion…His passion would send her soul to his hell most certainly, a hell where she would only be consumed by his passion and nit brimstone'sShe closed her eyes as she walked through the woods, she had tried playing back the scene of kiss in her memory back to back and if felt like it was stuck there doomed to live rent free in her head for the rest of her life.Actually, she was starting to see her attraction for Melvin as a curse, a curs
KHLOETHE sound of silence could be heard as our heart beat whispered to its sound in unison, we sat criss-crossed with our eyes tightly shut, locking us away from all manner of physicality.I could still hear the sounds of the buzzing fireflies, this time their noise magnified as it echoed in my ears.Claire's last words still remained in my head and I could hear it in repeated echoes ."Picture yourself the way you see him…" She tried doing that, picturing herself in the last place she had seen him, thinking back to the night where he walked out of the cabin to join the rest of his mates.Suddenly she couldn't hear the sound of their heart beat again. This time she found herself back in the woods, her eyes were still closed shut and as she opened them again she was back in the cabin right in the middle of the room.She could see the torches of fire fading away the same way it had the night he was taken away.In reality she blinked her eyes but didn't open them. In reality, she coul
MELVINTHE worst had happened to his heart, he could feel it from way his heart rumbled at the thought of her, he loved the fucking woman and it was the second time in his adult life he was feeling this way, loving with every bit of his heart.The first had been Felicia, she was a devil in a skirt and he was not speaking from a literal point of view. The woman indeed was a devil, one that had left him with his heart all ripped out of his chest while he was still alive breathing.He had always thought what his biggest weakness was, and it had been a question that had been probing his mind right from when he was at a very young age.At first, he had thought he was like others immune to pain and so many others things, he had a thought he had an heart made from stone that should be hard to break down, but life had dealt a serious blow to his and sent it crashing to the ground,life had left him with fact that: Everyone should have an Achilles heel including him now all he could say was t
