"Uh...you can take the room upstairs, beside mine. Here, give me your bag. I will help you." He says extending his hand to take my bag. But I guess, Bambi has some other plans with him since he opens his mouth and snaps at me the minute he comes near. "Ahh! What...what is he doing?" Darin stutters out, scared. And I almost chuckle at that. "Aey, Bambi! No, he is our friend. Don't need to snap at him." I say as I adjust him in my arms by facing towards me. "Darin, it is okay! I will manage with it. And, sorry about Bambi's behavior. You know, the reptile thing. They are actually good with humans but just don't get along with everyone, especially strangers." I explain and all he does is nod at me while still training his beautiful yet cautious emerald greens on Bambi who is now cool but is also staring at Darin with his head tilted slightly. Curious!"Umm..okay, whatever you say! But please, keep him away from me because I don't think that he likes me that much. And I still want to liv
Darin's POV "Darin?" I hear her calling me and turn around to face her. But as soon as do that, she gasps. "Darin, what happened to you? Why is your forehead bandaged?" She asks with concern. With creases on her forehead, she looks so adorable! I clear my throat and look at her with a smile. "Oh, this is nothing, really." She scoffs."No, this (Pointing at his bandaged forehead) is not nothing, Darin! Tell me what happened!" She demands to which I sigh and take her hand in mine. And she looks at me with her confused chocolate brown eyes."Come, sit here." I take her to the couch and sit her down before sitting opposite to her."Actually, I had a small accident while going to the market." She gasps and covers her mouth with her palms on hearing that. "But don't worry, nothing serious! I am perfectly alright. Just my forehead got hit by the steering wheel. So, I had to bandage it." I explain to her. "Did you go to the doctor?" She asks. Well, I did not! It was not necessary, so why
I remain rooted in my place after he practically runs off after pecking me on my cheek. I slowly move my hand upwards and touch where his lips made contact with my skin. An involuntary smile tugs on my lips as I move my palm from my cheek and press my lips on it, thinking it to be his lips. Blushing afterwards, I glance at the staircase for once more and then go back to the couch where now Bambi is. I sit on the table opposite to it."Oh my baby! Did you see that? He kissed me, finally. Even if it was just a peck on the cheek, it was enough, for now. And he is yet to confess his feelings to me. So, I have to wait till then." I say giggling to myself. Then, I make myself comfortable on the other couch which is small but cosy for me. I can't leave Bambi here all alone. Anyways, he has separation anxiety. Umm...I have, too. As I close my eyes humming a song, my phone vibrates making me almost jump as it is in my jeans pocket. Releasing a long breath, I take it out to see my papa's numb
"Umm..." I moan when I feel a feathery soft touch against my cheek. It feels like someone is trailing their finger down my cheek. And I want to see who is it, but damn, my slepy eyes revolt against my mind to not open anytime soon. "Wake up, Angel!" I hear that voice, his voice. My Darin! He is here, with me. He is touching me. I smile at that thought, automatically. "Are you dreaming of me, Angel?" He chuckles softly while running his hand through my hair.Wait, Dream? Am I dreaming? Is he touching me in my dream? Well, maybe yes. It feels too good to be real anyways. I feel him running his finger gently through my long hair, caressing them. Wait! My hair!! And long? Oh, no! My wig may come out if he does that...I open my eyes abruptly and groan when the bright light hit them making me shut them tightly again. "Oh, you are awake!" I hear his voice again, cheerful as ever. Opening my eyes slowly, the first thing that comes into my sight are his breathtaking emerald green eyes.
"Do you like me?" His hand stops midway as he was going to take another forkfull of spaghetti. His molten green eyes meet my brown ones immediately. "What...did you ask?" He asks as if to confirm that he heard me right.Taking in a deep breath, I repeat my question. "Do you like me, Darin?" He keeps his fork on his plate now giving me his sole attention. "Yes, I like you. So much." He says and I release my breath that I was holding unknowingly, waiting for his answer. I smile and look down at my plate which is still more than half full. I could not eat with my full heart as a lot of doubts and questions were swarming in my head knowing that I would ask him that question. But now, I am feeling hungry. "Hey, Angel!" I look up through my lashes at him. "Do you like me?" He asks. "You know, I told you that I like you and now it is your turn to tell me if you reciprocate my feelings." I look into his emerald orbs that hold a very deep emotion, and I don't want to give name to that, a
Darin's POV "Hey, Angel! Wait!" I run behind her up the stairs. But she does not stop until she reaches the top of the staircase. "Why the hell are you chasing after me? Huh? Go to your room and put some pressure on your brain or maybe you can use a diary, so it can be of some help to remind you of your body count?" She rants continuously and one thing I am sure of now is that she is indeed jealous. I smirk at her."Oh, my sweet Angel is jealous. I see." She rolls her eyes at me before turning around and walking off into her room. But I follow her suit and when she is about to close the door, I put my leg in between, knowing that she would not hurt me. "What are you doing? Take your leg out." She whines to which, I just shake my head with a silly grin plastered across my lips. "Arghh!" She groans before giving up. And I take that chance to get in. She goes straight off to her bed and falls on it with a sigh. I follow her lead and do the same. Now, we are both laying on one bed, wi
It is five thirty in the evening and Darin and I are getting ready to go out on our first ever date night. I quickly dash into the bathroom to get a quick shower and come out while towel drying my hair, as in my real hair which is in beautiful pixie cut. And I can't help but hope that I could let Darin see me just the way I am, and not as Arabella. Okay, now I have got no time to think about that 'cause I have got a bet to win. Looking at the time, I find it is already five forty one. Oh, no! I don't have much time left. And losing this bet is not an option for me. 'Cause I never lose!Okay...egoistic much!! Whatever!After properly towel drying my hair, I leave it to dry naturally while I choose and wear a nice dress for tonight. I go for a beautiful but elegant golden yellow color dress which is sleeveless and off strap on the right side and is body hugging and goes down to my knees. I never intend to wear anything that stops anywhere near my thighs seeing as the scar on my thigh
Darin's POV I walk out of the restaurant after taking our parcel and go to where I have parked my car. There are not much streetlights where I have parked the car as it is at the back of the restaurant. Reaching near it, I hear yelling. "No!! Leave me, you bastard!" It is my Angel! Is she okay? I dash towards it and what I see infront of me is not something that I have anticipated. There stands Devin as he is trying to yank her out of the car. My blood starts boiling at that. I look around my environs and my eyes land on a stone lying on the ground. I pick it up and charge towards him with a mission in my hand. "Ahhh!!" Before I could even reach near them, his piercing scream is heard. What happened? I stop in my tracks when I see him crouching him down on the ground with his palms clasped against his stomach. Then my Angel comes out of the car, voluntarily. The dress she wears really suits her, but that is not the matter of concern right now. She eyes him up and down with distas
