Although the warmth from his ironclad body was giving me comfort, his scent was very much distracting that I had to struggle not to lean closer to him.
"You should have just let me walk. I was only sprained, not paralyzed."
"That would only delay the treatment. The hospital is near here, we can go there instead."
I frowned. "I don't want to be in the hospital."
"How come you're a nursing student, then?" His lips rose for a smirk, only very quick that I had to question myself if it really happened.
"Not as a patient, I mean."
He stopped talking and went straight to where Diavel was parked. He drove so fast, I could only see the sides of the roads like a fast moving light. I can't even look at the trees around me. Though, I didn't feel scared this time. His entire presence was enough to make me feel safe.
When he parked in front of our house, the door immediately opened just after a
The room was dark and very silent, I had to blink my eyes several times to make sure it was wide open. I grasp what I was wearing, and I noticed I was still on my pajamas. I looked around, hoping to see a glimpse of light but I didn't. I was overwhelmed with dread, no one knew why I was there in a place of eternal darkness and loneliness.I wasn't horrified of the idea that I was in the darkness, I was scared of what could happen to me while I see nothing but a total black. I was scared something would just attack me or I'll fall when I walk for a few meters.Apparently, in the middle of all the thoughts, a light shone not so far, just about three or four meters away. I can't see where the light came from. And I didn't have the chance to think about it because the next second, I turned static, very surprised when I saw who was standing under the white light.It was Carter. But he looked different. No, his clothes looked diff
When Carter entered the class, my eyes and mind were immediately focused on him. He was wearing the Med students' shirt, looking dazzling as ever. Though, he looked a lot more intense today. His emotionless eyes had not even once looked at me. He just stood there, talking in front coldly like I don't exist at all.He really stands by the decision. He don't want any connection with me anymore. He didn't want to talk to me or even look at me. He wants us to be a total stranger to each other, regardless of everything that happened. I could still accept his inconsistent treatment of me if I had done something wrong.But in our case, I didn't. I don't even understand him. For a minute, he would give me a hint of concern, the next moment he has another mood. He is like climate change, quiet unpredictable."He seems in a bad mood, what do you think?" Irish whispered.I shrugged. I know nothing about his personality disor
As soon as my last class ended, I quickly ascended from my chair and fixed my things in the fastest pace I can. Right after, I left the room and soon, the building. I was about to message Carter that I'm already outside Edmonds, when I saw him leaning on his Diavel, just in the school's driveway.I took a deep breath, thinking that he would never talk again. But I guess he was too eager to know about the dream I had, he can't let it slip."Carter," I greeted.I glanced around and saw the curious glares from the students passing by. Clearly, this is not the right place to have a talk about something confidential."Perhaps, can we talk in somewhere private?" I suggested.He didn’t speak anymore and just handed me the black helmet. It was supposed to be his, but he was only has one helmet today. I would have asked how what he would use but I immediately bit my tongue remembering that he didn't need i
I thought his beauty beyond natural is only a coincidence, as well as his weird accent sometimes like he's from another time. I thought it was all just in my imagination that he could read my mind, and his eyes can glow or darken. Now, I know better. This is the truth. The part of reality which is beyond natural.For a minute, silence took over between us. His face was blank while staring at me so I can't say if he was mad or what. I just stared at him, waiting for him to speak. I actually have a lot of questions for him, but I decided to take one step at a time. I can't afford him losing his cool because of my nosiness of his supposed to be private life."What are you thinking?" He finally spoke, I can almost taste the disdain in his voice dripping like acid."I thought you could read minds?""I can," he admitted. I fight the urge to smile because he's starting to open up with me."Then why are you ask
"Are you feeling fine? You look sick," Mom pointed out when we had our breakfast the next morning. Felix was out early so it was only the two of us."I'm fine," I answered plainly, trying to lighten up my mood.The truth is, I didn't sleep soundly last night. The noise from the rain was one thing, but my talk with Carter also bothered me. I thought I'd have my peace of mind once I confirm what he is, but last night, I couldn't help thinking about him. And I know I should start disregarding thoughts about him in respect to what we both agreed with. I should keep my word to never bother him again."Hello, Eve. Heard the news?" Irish said once I was on my seat. She usually arrives in the classroom earlier than me, sometimes earlier than everyone, even."News? What news?" I shook my head because I really don't know."Carter is not going to be the substitute of Dr. Rellis anymore. Another professor will take
"I heard from Helen that Jaxon is back. She said he decided to just study here. Have you two met?" Mom asked later that night."Yeah, I met him. He was in school," I answered while cutting onions. Mom and I used to do this when I visit her. She cooks while I assist her in cutting the vegetables and meats."Good that you have someone you know. Got some friends aside from him?""Well…" I don't really want to lie but I don't want to bother her with my situation in school, so I just said, "Yeah, I have a few. I'm still adjusting, so…" I shrugged and continued cutting the onions."That is good, then. You know, I was kinda worried that it would be hard for you to live here since there are a lot of adjustments to do. But I guess you are good so far." She nodded to herself and smiled while flipping the frying pan.I also didn't tell Dad whatever is happening to me here. The least thing I want is t
I was dumbfounded. Am I hallucinating or is this real? But the glow of red in his eyes looked too real for me to doubt."Why are you here, Carter?" I said and glanced at the man lying a few yards away, unconscious."Should I be the one asking you that? Why are you here when you are supposed to be with that friend of yours? He left you?" The way he mentioned the word 'friend' was very lethal that it sent shivers down my spine."I asked first. Why are you here?""Does that even matter? You were close to being harassed, Eve, and we don't know what could have happened to you if I didn't arrive.""Well, thank you very much," I said with a hint of sarcasm. I don't know how I would treat him or if I should greet him like we didn't agree to stay out from each other's life."I will go back now. Maybe Jaxon has came back," I said and was about to leave him there when he held my wrist. I looked down his hand and he quickly withdrew his hold."I
The next morning, I felt like I was floating in the air while doing my routines. I still can't believe that Carter wanted me back… to be back in his life despite me knowing his family's secret.As soon as I'm done, I hurried downstairs and grabbed a toast Tessa prepared before going straight to the door.The corners of my lips rose automatically when I saw who was on Mom's driveway, leaning on his Diavel."Good morning," Carter greeted with a boyish half smile."Good morning," I echoed in a little voice, trying to act as natural as possible because I was afraid that he might notice how I excited I was to see him."How was your sleep last night?""Uhm, good…" I nodded. "How about yours?" It is my usual reply when someone asks me that. So I got confused when Carter grinned like there was something funny on my question."Why?""Don't you want to ask where do w
