I thought she was a nice girl. If the reason for their break up was, her cheating on him, I was going to hunt her down. Hey, don’t think I was being judgmental. It was just; he had been through a lot in the relationship department. I was just looking out for him. Since I couldn’t cheer him up during those awful days in his life. My mind started to overthink again for all the possibilities for the causes of his downtrodden mood. “Is everything okay?” I asked him worriedly, he sniffled and big fat tears made their way down his cheeks. I rubbed his shoulder and gave him a side hug. He wrapped one arm around me. “Paul you are scaring me, what the hell happened?” I urged him gently and tried to make him spill the beans that were bothering him. He hugged me completely and began crying like a kid, I started to panic. “It’s postponed,” he mumbled against my hair. “What?” I asked him with a puzzled expression. “UEFA European championshi

"Who?" I frowned at him. About whom was he talking about? My question made him scoff at me."The guy that you are flirting with at the Starbucks." He told me with a deadly calm tone. Then I realized that he was talking about Jake, the guy who approached me today while I was having my drink."Excuse me, that's none of your business." I snapped at him. How dare he assume things? Whether I flirt with Jake or not, that was not his business, I was not going to allow him to step all over me."So you were flirting with him, huh?" he looked mad, he took a threatening step towards me. I stood my ground and crossed my arms in front of my chest."I was not flirting with him!" I stressed out each word through my clenched teeth."Then who is he?!" he demanded, his eyes locked with mine, unwavering."Why do you care?!"He didn't say anything, we were both breathing harshly. We didn't move an inch, our intense gaze clashed with each other.Su

I opened and closed my mouth like a fish out of water to give him a comeback but I couldn't find anything intelligible. So, I swatted his chest playfully and made my way to Eric who was now looking at Xander with his big brown eyes filled with approbation. I could hear Xander's hearty chuckle from my behind, because of my reaction. I scowled at him and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Where is your granny? She asked me to bring her some plant saplings," he informed me and scanned our garden for her. "She went to the town to meet her old friend," I notified him. She knew that we had more than enough saplings to plant. She told me that she will be meeting her friend the previous night, then why did she ask him for more saplings. I swear that old lady was trying to set me up with Xander, not that I was complaining but still my feeling for him was complicated. I'll talk to her once she came home. "Okay then, I'll help you guys with this work

He looked at the little boy with adoration and longing. Was he longing for a kid?  My heart ached for this devastated man who made my heart flip. He had lost his soul mate at this young age. His eyes were filled with tenderness and pure love, it was a total contrast of his arrogant, brooding self.Whenever he was in the same room with me, all I feel was his strong, powerful aura with his masculinity. But today, I saw a playful, carefree, friendly self of him and I totally love this side of him.I scooped Eric's sleeping form in my arms and he clutched the front of my floral shirt in his tiny fist on reflex and buried his face in my chest still sleeping. He snuggled to me and I could hear light snores from him. The little boy looked calm, but he wouldn't sit in one place when he was not sleeping.I smiled at his sleeping form and made my way to my bedroom closely followed by Xander, he opened the door for me since I was carrying Eric in my arms. As soon as I

He was not any guy; he was Drake, Xander's younger brother. He was looking at me with an apologetic smile for scaring me."Geez, don't pull this act again, I nearly died of a heart attack," I pointed an accusing finger at him and leaned backward away from him with my wide doe-like eyes. I was sure that I would be looking like a funny anime character at this jiffy."Sorry about that," he rubbed the back of his neck and gave me a sheepish smile. I nodded my head with my eyes still wide as if, someone was going to scare me again."So… what made you give me a near-death experience?" I asked him sarcastically. He groaned at me in a protesting way which made me chuckle."Just kidding," I giggled."Where are you heading to?" he enquired adjusting the straps of his bag."Creative writing,""Me too, let us go together." He suggested and I bobbed my head in accord.Rachel was already waiting for me when I reached our class. She wa
