I don't know how, I try resisting every time but still end up in this situation. Knowing very well, once I am here then there will be no part of me that will try to back down. Xander's fingers were circling my hips in a very father-like touch, he is only applying enough pressure to let me feel every inch of his touch. This whiff of his woody cologne turned my thoughts hazy, it's like all my capability is fogged by the desire swirling in my eyes. His touch was initiating emotions, I know I can't act upon. Still, I feel no control over myself. My inner battle was still nowhere to be ended when suddenly, Xander pulled his hands away from my hips, and my eyes snapped open, looking at him with confusion, and instead of answering he smirked then with hooded eyes, he leaned closer. " The ball is in your court, Iris, either you can push me, or you will have no right to ever stop me." " This is not right. " " Then tell me what's wrong. " " I am engaged." " Yet you neve
I am doing things wrong, everything around me is wrong, and I don't know how to take control of things that I do or that seem to happen to me. Standing and looking at the scene in front of me is heart-wrenching but at the same time I am failing to emote the emotions, I am feeling inside. Other than shock I show nothing on my face, and it's not like I am hiding my emotions no it's happening on its own. Xander is looking at me, there is this sorry look on his face that I both hate and feel pity for. The girl in his arms is saying something and when she realized it, she doesn't have his attention, her eyes moved from him to where he is looking, at me, with puzzlement, she looks between me and Xander and then grabs her attention she, puts her hands on his shoulder, calling him. And as soon as his eyes are not on me, I slipped away into the office, the only safe place, right now. Entering I locked the office, my brain still processing everything I saw. I fell on my c
Iris's POVThe pain in my feet is nothing, compared to the pain I am feeling in my chest. Sitting on a wooden bench, I saw the side of the road and kept staring ahead. My mind is blank. I dont know what I am supposed to do now. I so want to run away somewhere where there is no pain. No worries, nothing just me and my baby."Xan.," I whispered remembering my baby's cute smiling face. I remember when he was born he was chubby, with cheeks so red that, he looked like a tomato. There was not a single person left in the hospital, who didn't gush looking at my baby. Blair called him Pandu a nickname she got him as he looked like a cute panda. And what I can never forget was when the nurse brought him wrapped in a fluffy soft towel and placed him on my lap. For minutes I kept staring at his small face, eyes closed, he was looking like an angel. Raising a single finger, I softly caressed his feather-soft cheeks. He scrunched his nose. , then blinking slightly he opened his eyes and gave
Standing on the sand, blindfolded, Iris shivered due to the cold breeze caressing her skin. Her cotton shirt and loose crop top were no help either. If anything only thing keeping her warm was Xander's arms wrapped around her waist, protectively, to protect her from tripping.Her ears perked, hearing the clash of the waves and seashore. "We are on the beach." Yelling excitedly she ripped the blindfold, impeding her eyes, from enjoying the view she loves the most. But no sooner did she open her eyes, she was stunned, seeing the beautiful view in front of her. The sea was sparkling, reflecting her favorite beautiful stars. The moon imprints itself on the surface of the water. Making it feels as if the sky has come on earth to lie down and see how he was a few moments ago.Iris was mesmerized. Closing her eyes she spread her arms wide, took a deep breath, she let the smell of the serene sea engulf her in its warmth. She was feeling tranquillity, especially when her favorite two arms wra
Alexander's POV"Ladies and gentlemen, I agree with this company are small, compared to the companies, we mostly do business with........." I kept going on with the meeting but, every time, I would steal glances at Iris.I dont know why, but there is something different about her. She seems off. As if she is here, still absent.I am worried, but more than that, her sullen face is scaring me.What if it is because of, what happened between us?What if she regrets what conspired between us?And not to forget, when woke up, she left. Initially, that made me a little angry but when i saw the breakfast and a cute message about her friend needing some help, I understood. Did she lie? The thought is making my heart thud. Because after that night one thing is for sure, even if Iris wants, then also I am not letting her go.In these last few days, I have gone addicted to her. The thought of being away from her squeezes my heart. And thinking of her with someone else, wants me to burn ever
Iris's POV Something is wrong, something must have happened. "Momy look, monster." I looked at Xan and Kyle and smiled at their adorable faces as they stuck two French fries in both corners of their mouths. "Cute monsters." I smiled and looked at Blair to add something but she just gave a weak smile, looking at the kids. I frowned. What could have happened to sadden her like this? It's not the first time she is like this, both of us had difficult pasts. But Blair, she has tougher than me. Where I only dealt with pain, Iris has to deal with both pain and her demons. Demon of her past and actions, she fights every other day. Every day she wakes up with regrets and closes her eyes with fears of her nightmares. If not for Kyle, those demons would have killed Blair a long time ago. It almost had been done. My eyes go to her K tattoo on her wrist, beneath is the scar of her self-harm. That was the worst day of my life. We both were in the second month of our pre
Alexander's POV ------+++++----With my heart racing, I ran behind Iris quickly. One minute she was in my arms and the other she wiggled out of my arms. And now she is in the middle of the road, giggling like a kid. And waving at people passing. She is not aware of how scared I am cars are passing by her and people are shouting. I went behind her and in no time caught her again between my arms. The grin on her face turned into a pout and at that very moment, I wanted nothing more than to stop the traffic and allow Iris to do whatever silly thing she wanted to. The smile on her face is worth everything. I would do whatever it takes to make her happy. Picking Iris in my arms, I placed her in the passenger seat, as she whined and I gave her one chiding look and she once again gave that cute pout of hers. Somewhere during the ride, Iris slept, and I was looking at her like a creep. Parking my car in the garage, I ran my thumb on the cheeks of sleeping Iris, and right th
ClosuresWhen I was in high school, I remember girls whining about, how they didn't get any closure for their broken relationships. They would mop. And I would think, what difference does a closure makes since your heart is breaking either way?For me, closure is nothing but a reason to break up, which somewhere or the other everyone knows is breaking.And when Nathan decided, I was not worth his love, I realized what they meant by the closure. The closure was not just a reason.It's the last chance for the heart to show, what that person means to you, it's the most vulnerable situation where you put your heart on your sleeves, knowing well it will break. Still, you walk the path of closure, which leads to the death of your heart. It's the last chance for you to fight for your love.But, I was weak, because I wanted no closure. After Nathan abandoned me, I left silently. And with the help of Iris started a new life, with my baby Kyle, who was a constant reminder of Nathan.To people
