“ Are you out of your mind?” Ares screams and I flinch when I felt my arm stinging because of the shattered glass.
Earlier today, he dragged me out of the house and told me that we are going out. He’s taking me on a date and I don’t know why I agreed upon hearing that. Part of me wanted to be out of the house because I always find myself lurking around the last sentence that I’ve just read from the diary of the late senator.
He finally did it. Those words seem to mean something and I don’t want to think about the possibilities of what Major Sullivan did. Moreover, the burnt pages bothered me to the extremity. It’s like the pages are intentionally burnt so no one can ever read what was written on it.
Ares and I are sitting outside of the pub and grill but I accidentally lose my grip on the glass. He hissed as he held my arm and inspect my bruise.
“ It’s nothing,” I shivered at his touch because it
A gush of the wind against the tenderness of my skin keeps me awake as I tried to not stumble on the stairs and successfully open the door of my room.I laughed to myself as I stumble face-first on the floor. My head is still spinning as I tried to stand on myself using my elbows. I nearly groan when I felt my toe twist because I am wearing high heels.Drinking is not for me anymore, I thought to myself and still tried my best to stand but then I was baffled when I was being lifted off the floor. Someone is holding my waist and putting me right into my bed.My room is dim black and my head is still spinning so I can’t really point out who was the shadow is.“ Are you drunk, Amara?” he asked in his deep voice. A loud spur of voice came out of my mouth as I realized who was it.It’s Major Levi Sullivan in his bare chest and low hanging jeans. He was angrily looking at me with his deep set of eyes and I was seeing nothing but t
“ I was the reason she was killed, Amara.” “ I was the reason she was killed, Amara.” “ I was the reason she was killed, Amara.” I’m still too drunk to think straight. Too drunk to absorb what he just said but, in my mind, I felt like I was a genius. A smart woman who knows what those words meant.I took a step backward and it wasn’t enough. No, I wasn’t afraid of him or terrorize. My mind cannot just absorb what he meant by that. Or maybe it was my heart because the last time I checked it shouldn’t hurt like this.It shouldn’t beat like it was tired of beating. Trembling, I sit right on the floor. The cold didn’t bother me. What bothered me was him and his words.How can he tell me that? How can he tell me that with pain in his voice as if getting her killed was the biggest regret of his life?I see him closing
“ Wait a damn minute, Levi!” I scream as I grab my face out of his holds and made him look at me instead.Indeed, these pictures bother me, but what the hell was he doing?He looked at me and embrace the intensity of my gaze. It is still morning and my head is still aching from alcohol last night, but I know what he is doing.“ You’re trying to avoid what happened last night!” I concluded at his actions, but this bastard only gave me a glare before continuing what he was doing. He was taping papers and pictures whilst completely ignoring my presence. And it only did nothing but to hurt my ego, to bruise my ego.I was too caught up with my emotions that I tear every paper and picture out of the wall, tearing them into pieces before I throw them right in front of his face. I can show how angry he was because he is biting the insides of his lips and his body is tense.But right now, I am not afraid of him. I don&rsq
“ And?” I asked not truly processing what he meant by that.He looks mystified by my reaction. “ Didn’t you hear me? I told you I was a sex addict,” he repeated his words as if I didn’t hear it the first.Oh well. Everyone has their own battle to win, their own waves to tame inside of their mind because if you don’t you’re either the deity or you’re an angel.“ I heard it, Levi. And so? What if you’re a sex addict? Did she think that you’re less of a person because of you’re diagnosis?” I asked, closing the distance between us.This time, all I wanted was to sit on his lap and encircle my arms around his nape. To feel his hot breath touching the skin of my neck and be close to him. And I did. I fucking did as I straddle him.Major Sullivan smiles. And I was too bewitched to notice that I’ve been staring at it for some time now. His smile is not sarcastic or a
I was woken by gentle kisses sliding through my neck up until my shoulder bone. A muffled snort escapes my lips when it slides through the back of my neck. Opening my eyes, I angle my head and see the gaze that even after everything made my heart flutter.“Good morning, madam,” he smiled at me and I feel the urge to part my lips to be able to breathe properly for I felt like his smile made me stop from breathing.He gave in a quick kiss before stopping and letting our foreheads press into each other. I can feel him and his warm breath lingering through every bit of my skin.He felt like peace and protection. A special ingredient for this perfect moment. A home and a sense of love. In the midst of war and chaos, a shield and strength to go on life without worrying to be alone in the middle of the war.A ladder in times of hardships and light in the darkness. He felt like everything. And I know that it was only him.“ W-What&r
A loud banging on the door makes me purr into my sleep. I didn’t even notice that I have fallen asleep on the couch using Major Sullivan’s lap as my pillow. I felt so at peace with him by my side. He was gently stroking my hair and when he notices that the loud banging of the door made me awake, he kisses the tip of my nose and tugged me more into the couch.“ Stay here,” he mentioned before I felt his body slipping out of the couch. I did what he told me because my head felt heavy and my eyelids. I am indeed sleepy and I don’t know why.The sound of the shuffling of shoes didn’t bother me as I kept my eyes closed. I really needed to take care of myself. It feels like my body is suffering from something. The sound of shuffling shoes became closer, but I still didn’t bother to open my eyes. Major Sullivan can deal it for me, whoever it was. My eyelid is so heavy that I was annoyed when I felt a finger poking
“ I told you to stop moving around!” Major Sullivan calmly said as he stopped me from walking back and forth inside of my room.It’s been ten minutes since Ares drives out of my house and announces that the president is being ambushed, but nothing is giving me any information about it.I stare at the television, and no news is coming up. It only makes me frustrated. I tried calling Ares but he wasn’t answering his phone. It just keeps on ringing and ringing. Dad’s head of security is also not responding.My head is going to break from all of this. I needed to do something before I lost my mind.Damn it. What the hell is happening? I was told that my father is being ambushed and all I can do is to wait inside my house? He ruined my life, but he was still my father.Major Sullivan sighs as he dropped the phone call that he had and held my face still. My body is still trembling thinking of all the possibilit
“Calm the fuck down Amara or I’m really going to tie you down, baby. I swear,” Major Sullivan shouted as I bolted out of the room as soon as I read the message on his phone.No one can stop me now that I’ve read what happened to my father. I was running to slip out of the door of my room when a sudden steel arm grip my waist and held me in place.I was shouting and resisting but his large frame kept me still. My feet are trying to kick his hands away, pushing him so that I can finally go and see my father. My eyes are so hot and sore from anger and frustration.Why can’t he let me go? I just wanted to see the president and know if he’s okay. And know if he’s breathing but he wasn’t going easy on me. I shouted, screamed, and fight for my way but there is no defense for his large body frame.Major Sullivan roared and I scream for more, louder than ever when I felt him carrying me back on my bed. My knees
