“Maybe it's time we have a man to man talk, hmm?” Daniel asked, appearing out of nowhere.“Uh oh!” Daniel stepped out into the backyard of the house through the kitchen door and Zian followed suit.Zian looked around the place and the artistic gene in him ached to etch the place on a canvas.“So?” Daniel raised an eyebrow, as he folded his arm across his chest and stared at Zian square in the eyes.Zian shot a hesitant smile.“Nice house..” Zian said, with an awkward chuckle.“Thanks for the compliment. Now can we get to the point? Don’t try to pretend that you don’t understand what I am talking about.” Daniel said sternly and Zian nodded his head.“I will never do that, Sir. I know you are suspicious about my intentions with your daughter. I totally understand. My father would be the same if someone had their eyes on either of his precious daughters.” Zian said politely.“Emma is naive. Too naive to understand the workings of the world. She will not be able to tolerate a heartbreak.
Spending two absolutely beautiful days in Emma's hometown, the squad returned reenergized for their university. The laughter they had shared, the memories they had created – all of it had solidified their bond even further. With the scent of nostalgia hanging in the air, they eagerly resumed their academic routines, their minds still filled with the warmth of the moments they had cherished together.A week passed by quickly, and the squad members found themselves occupied with helping the girls settle into their chosen apartment. Furniture was moved, shelves were organised, and endless debates ensued about where each picture frame should be placed on the wall. Amidst the chaos, they shared laughter, a few playful arguments, and even managed to cook up a meal together that could only be described as ‘experimental’ and resulted in what you could call a ‘disaster.’The weekend approached, and the Langston twins received a call summoning them back home. Emma, tagged along, eager to mee
Liam and Zada's Sunday date was off to a delightful start. They had resolved their misunderstandings and were now relishing the opportunity to spend the whole day together. As they strolled through a sun-dappled park, Liam couldn't resist flashing his trademark mischievous smirk at Zada."Liam, what's that look for?" Zada asked, her eyes twinkling."Oh, just thinking about how lucky I am to be here with you, Mirrie," Liam replied, playfully tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.Zada blushed and bumped her shoulder into his. "Don’t you dare start your google pick up line now." She said playfully, though she absolutely loves it when he uses such flirty lines.They found a cosy spot near a serene pond, where they settled down on a blanket, gazing at the reflection of the sky in the water. “Let’s hope this date doesn't turn out to be a disaster like our previous picnic.” Liam said dryly and Zada chuckled remembering their first date. It was such a disaster, but the most memorabl
“Do you want to come up and have coffee?” Zada asked, her heart racing. She knew what she was doing and she was ready for it. She knew Liam would wait however long she wanted. And now she trusts him completely. All her insecurities are gone. And she is ready to take the next step in their relationship.“Uh I would love to.” Liam said, nervous for the very first time in his life.He parked the motorcycle in the apartment parking slot and with his heart, making a tattoo against his ribcage, he followed Zada towards the elevator, not knowing the storm that was coming their way.As Zada and Liam stepped into the elevator, a comfortable silence hung in the air, filled with anticipation and a hint of excitement. The soft hum of the elevator's machinery was the only sound between them, but their eyes spoke volumes. Zada couldn't help but steal glances at Liam, admiring the way his dark hair slightly tousled in the wind, and the faint hint of a smile tugging at his lips.Liam, on the other ha
******MATURE CONTENT AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*******"Mirrie, I don't want to rush things, but I also don't want to waste any more time. I want to be with you, to share my life with you. If you are ready, I would like us to take this journey together, one step at a time."Zada's heart swelled with emotion as she squeezed his hand, tears of happiness glistening in her eyes. "Liam, I am ready. I am ready to take that step with you. I want to see where this journey leads us."They leaned in closer, their lips meeting in a gentle, sweet kiss that sealed their unspoken commitment to each other.The sweet kiss soon turned into something intense and passionate. The chemistry between them was so tangible they could taste it.“Take your hair down, Mirrie..” Liam mumbled, as he peppered kisses down the column of her throat.She reached behind her, as if in a dream and pulled her hair loose. It fell around her shoulder in waves. He reached out, taking a long strand and twining it around his
“Don’t press the doorbell. We want to surprise Zada. Open the door with the passcode.” Zahir said and Emily rolled her eyes."Oh, how brilliant, Zahir! Because I totally didn't know that pressing the doorbell might alert Zada to our presence. Thank you for that groundbreaking insight."Zahir smirked. "You're welcome, Emily. Always here to educate you on the finer points of subtlety."Zahir quickly entered the passcode when Emma shared it, and the door quietly clicked open."Wow, Zahir, I am amazed at your secret agent skills." Emily couldn't help but mutter sarcastically under her breath. "Well, Emily, some of us have a natural talent for espionage. It's a gift." Zahir shot her a mock-innocent look.As they stepped inside the apartment, Emily couldn't help but glance around, taking in their surroundings. The plan was to surprise Zada, and that meant tiptoeing around and avoiding any loud noises. Zahir led the way, moving stealthily toward the living room. Others followed, their silen
‘Consider it an ultimatum or anything you wish it to be, Zada. But from now on, it is going to be either him or us.’The word kept ringing in her ears even after two days.Two damn days since her brothers talked to her. And it felt like two bloody centuries.How could they not talk to her? Don’t they miss her.She was missing them like crazy. In their entire twenty years of life, they have never passed a day without talking to each other.And now, two days have passed.Forty eight hours.Two thousand eight hundred and eighty minutes.One lakh, seventy two thousand eight hundred seconds….Oh h*ll! This is only getting more miserable.Don’t they know she can’t live without talking to them?She sat under the huge tree in the campus. She could feel fresh tears making its way down her cheeks.She took her phone and dialled Zian’s number. The call was rejected on the second ring. She then tried Zahir’s number. The call was rejected on the very first ring.The next second, she received a tex
Liam was frustrated beyond belief. He couldn’t believe that Zahir and Zian would so mercilessly cut their beloved sister out of their life.It has been two days since that evening when Zada went to confront her brothers.They had shut the door on her face and Zada was heartbroken by their behaviour.She had cried her heart out, sitting on the floor outside their bedroom.It was evident that they could hear her cries from inside and they didn’t come out to check on her and that made Liam more furious.How could they do this to their sister?“Enough of the crying, Zada.” Liam said, as he pulled her up from the bed where she was curled up in for the last two days.“I miss them..” Zada cried and Liam hugged her tightly.“I told you to tell them that you choose them. I would have made things better with time.” Liam said once again.“I didn’t want to lie to them anymore.” Zada said softly.Zada had spent the last two days in a state of despair. Her brothers' rejection and harsh words echoed
