Never Again 🌷 “It's you, It's always you, If I'm ever gonna fall in love, I know it's gon' be you.” ~•~ E V E L Y N• "She is Xavier Knight's rumoured girlfriend." "What are-" I tried to cut him in between. "Poor guy. I have heard, he is a nice person but you know what, a few years back his wife ran away." Said Sam as sharp pain shooted in my chest at the reminder. "How cruel can someone be, to do this on their wedding night?" "I…. I… didn't…" I stammered, trying to find words to defend my hideous actions. "Hey, Evelyn, are you okay? You look flustered." He said in worry. "Yeah, just in need of some fresh air." I said with a tight smile and darted out of the hall as soon as possible, not caring about the fact that they might not let me in again, or perhaps they would. But, I couldn't care any less. Once I was out of the hall, I rushed towards the elevator at right and pressed the desired location of my suite that I had been sharing with Xavier. After reaching the floor
Never Again 🌷 •X A V I E R• The sunlight entering through the glass windows ruined my sleep. Groaning, I rolled over in my sleep and suddenly, I felt a feminine body beneath me. Don't be naked. Don't be naked. Please don't be naked. I cursed when our bare bodies brushed slightly. Scooting away from the person, I hesitantly opened my eyes and when my eyes landed on the face of that woman, all the oxygen got knocked out of my lungs. I felt my throat dry at her sight, my gaze slowly traveled down her flawless skin, the soft curves of her waist and then her long legs. I saw Evelyn's seductive body lying on my bed in my shirt,a muscle in my heart clenched. That's how I wanted to see her, in my room, wearing my shirt, spending the night in my arms. "Fuck." I spoke, springing to the sitting position. My voice must have woken her up because the next moment, her eyes opened and her face flushed because of our bare state. "I-I…" she tried speaking and rose to a sitting position, clutchi
Never Again 🌷 •E V E L Y N• |A T N I G H T| I groaned as the pain in my abdomen increased, rolling over my side to be stopped by something wrapped around my waist. I frowned and slowly peeled my eyes open. The room was still covered in dark so I extended my hand and switched on the lamp. Removing the sheets off of me, I froze as the sensation of the thing wrapped around my waist came back and also the wind hit my bare skin with full force. I looked down at my waist and saw an arm wrapped around it. My eyes widened, gulping as my gaze followed the arm to the hand and to the shoulder attached to it and then the owner of the shoulder. It was none other than Xavier, he slept like a baby with a beautiful smile on his face. His hair fell over his forehead making him look perfect even in his sleep. I covered my mouth to stop myself from screaming on the sudden realisation. What have I done? Tears pooled in my eyes as I saw my naked self and didn't even think about removing the other
“If I've been on your mind, you hang on every word I say, lose yourself in time, at the mention of my name. Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close? And have you tell me whichever road I choose, you'll go?"-Adele|Five Years Ago|•E V E L Y N•My mind was so much like the ocean, watching for the incoming ship, calm on the surface with so many deep under currents, all of them with their own purpose. Being a 'watcher' was the perfect job for a daydreamer like me and if I must suffer cold feet and numb fingers through the winter months, it was a price worth paying.They thought I was a fool to wait like I do every chance I get: eyes set to the horizon, arms resting on the cold metal rail. But the way I saw it they were missing the greatest mysteries of life as they chase the mundane and trip over the details of existence. Waiting here gave me time to let my
Never Again 🌷 “I long for you, just a touch of your hand. You don't leave my mind. Lonely days I'm feeling like a fool for dreaming. As I wander down the avenue so confused, guess I'll try and force a smile.” -Sam Smith •E V E L Y N• Fear was natural and there to keep you alive and happy, yet where it had been weaponized and fashioned into a cage, one was honoured bound to break free. When I was feeling triggered by the world and everyone it was behind fifty feet of glass. Loving bonds became inaccessible. In this mode I had to take great care not to damage bonds of love, the relationships and people who were everything to my heart and soul. For in time the glass disappeared and my love returned. I wish I could stop the triggering, but if I felt unprotected or left to fend for myself it returned - it was survival mode, cold and indifferent. Yet even in those times I was cognisant of my morality. I could still make good choices. I could still imagine what the better version of me
Never Again 🌷 “Don't break me again I am delicate Please, don't break my heart Trust me I've been broken before…” -Ali Gatie, It's You ~•~ "It works like this, your daddy says you need to have soup, so here's the deal, every time you have a spoon of soup, you get a bonus card with a surprise in it which you can receive when you get better." I smiled, and his eyes shone in excitement while looking at his father for permission. "What kind of surprise?" Alexander asked, settling by my side on the bed while I rested his head against my body. "Well, surprises are meant to be hidden, right Xander?" I asked, while he nodded with a small smile on his face, melting my heart again and again. "Awesome, let me write the cards," I was about to stand up when Xavier placed his hand on mine, asking, "I'll get it, where is it?" I might be trying very hard to ignore the proximity between us, but the sparks which I felt wasn't letting go of the fact that I love him. Nodding, I said, "Take
[From now onwards, the story would be narrated through Author's P.O.V.] Never Again 🌷 “Is it possible to love someone so completely, so intensely, they could never die? To give them more than just your heart or your soul? What if you could give them the miracle of immortality?” -Kellie Thacker ~•~ Xavier was too mentally exhausted to deal with Evelyn after that morning, therefore he took a week off to rethink his decisions and spend some time with his son Alexander. Soon the week passed, and Xavier found his way back to his office. He sighed in relief when he saw Evelyn's empty office as he desperately wanted some more days away from her. As soon as he got the call regarding Alexander's health, Xavier was about to leave his office and go home when he saw Evelyn standing behind him dressed in a light blue dress, hee hair was pulled up in a bun with few tendrils caressing the side of her face. They argued a little but in the end, Xavier agreed to take her with him to his house.
Never Again 🌷 “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” -Marilyn Monroe ~•~ •E V E L Y N• As I neared the main door of Xavier's house, my heartbeat started beating rapidly. This was it. This was the end of Evelyn and Xavier. I couldn't take it anymore so I turned around and walked out of the door. Few steps further I heard Alexander's voice echo in my ear, "Where's Rose, Daddy?" My little munchkin asked, I could not let him see me in this position, the situation where I was unable to make out the meaning of anything, where I couldn't bear the pain of Xavier's allegations right now, how would I answer Alexander's innocent questions. A tear rolled down my cheek but I didn't bother to wipe it away. It was over. ----------- "May I know why you need Mr Forbes' address please?" Ethan's secretary asked from the other s
