I eyed the huge wall and the thin rope in my hands. The feeling of hopelessness grew. I don’t think the rope will even work. There was nothing that it could hold on to. The wall was too big to jump over for me too.  I’m so cold right now. My feet hurt like I’ve been walking against a burning coal. I looked up at the sky. The rain pelted against my face mixing with the tears now falling down my cheeks. All of the sudden, a light flickered. I searched for the source and it was up ahead on the east side. I realized that it was a lamp from the fence. The fence has a lamp? An idea crossed my mind. I uncoiled the rope in my hands and realized it was long enough for me to wind it around

 Kura Every part of my body ached. Even when I opened my eyes, it hurt. The bed was extremely soft and comfortable but I felt warm and sweaty under the blanket.  I slowly moved my fingers, my hands and my legs. I tried to at least sit up. I groaned at the pain I was feeling. I felt heavy and more exhausted than that night.  I carefully placed my feet to the floor before standing. And when I stood, I fell down at once. I groaned at the additional pain I was feeling. I totally forgot about my injured foot. I felt so tired that I remained lying down on the floor. Not a moment longer, the door bursts open. Nile stood in alarm as he saw my

 “I’m not going to rest again in that huge ass room, Nile. Don’t you think two days of bedridden is enough? Why don’t you tour me around your mansion? I did get lost while looking for the dining room.” I complained with a slight whine. Nile wanted me to go back to his room to take a rest. But I’m tired of resting. My body aches from sleeping too much. It needs some exercise. I was also interested in having a tour of his mansion since it was my first time to get lost at someone else’s house. “Alright.” He relented without much of my persuasion. “Also… I gave you much time, Kura. You will talk to me and tell me the truth as we walk.” He then started walking without waiting for my consent. I f

 “Nile, wait. Stop.” My hand automatically pressed against his chest to stop him from kissing me. His eyebrows furrowed. He was eyeing me in curiosity. “I’m- I’m tired. Can we… can we not do it now?” I said through pants. Nile only nodded in understanding. The Nile I know would’ve done it anyway but he knew I just got better and I made it as an excuse. He kissed my cheek, lingering it for more than a few seconds before hugging me tightly in his arms. He closed his eyes and buried his head in between my shoulder and neck inhaling my scent right away. I stilled. “You’re going to sleep h

 “Colton, watch out!” He automatically swerved the car away from the other. We both panted in fear and relief when he managed to evade the car safely.  “What the fuck, Colton! Holy shit!” I smack his arm with extreme force. I was fucking scared for a second. I thought I’m gonna die again.  “Hey, that hurts.” He whined like a boy. “This car is fucking new, Colton, and you almost cause us an accident. You are a terrible driver!” “What?” He laughs. “Hey, I was trying to cherish the moment you’re trying to make me feel. You shouldn’t be acting like that while I’m driving. I can’t focus.”
