If the whole world was watching, I had still dance with you. -Niall Horan. |N I C O L A S|Amidst the vibrant lights joyful chatter of the party I had planned, I stood apart like a lonely abandoned puppy. Dressed impeccably in a tailored suit that spoke of sophistication, I exuded an air of quiet intensity that set me apart from the jubilant crowd. My tousled hair seemed to mirror the tangled thoughts that swirled in my head. My eyes stated focused at the entry door of the club, I swirled the content in my glass before drowning it in one go. It's been one hour since the party started and she is not here yet, but I am holding onto the unsaid promise that she made to me about returning back to home soon. Laughter echoed around me and couples swayed to the rhythm of the music, my gaze remained fixed on the entrance, my heart yearning for that one person who haven't arrived yet. I watched my friends, Aleeza and Lorenzo, enjoying themselves

But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands. -Daphne du Maurier.|Z Y R A|When we started dancing first, the room faded away and it haven't come to existence even yet. As the music pulsed through the air, Nic and I moved together on the dance floor. His gentle grip on my hand, tightened, as he twirled me around before pulling me close in his embrace, his hand circling around my small waist. My gaze lifted up to met his desired one and a knowing smile passed between us, revealing the plans we both had in mind for tonight. As the beat grew stronger, our steps grew bolder. Nicolas' hand slipped lower, his fingers entwining with mine, pulling me closer until there was barely any space between the two of us. With each twirl and sway, our bodies pressed together, the warmth of his breath against my ear sending shivers down my spine. His touch felt electrifying, igniting a fire within me t

I hope he knows, what he was starting to feel like - home. -Author. |Z Y R A|I woke up to the soft morning light, and, the first thing I saw after opening my eyes was, him. Nicolas was sleeping right beside me, a peaceful expression covering his, usually, chaotic face. I could not help but feel a rush of affection as I admired the tranquil expression on his features, illuminated by the sun light that enters the room through the glass windows. The moments shared from last night, rushed back into my mind amd unlike last time the first thought in my mind was of not running away but was of staying, instead. Everything about last night still felt like a dream, the dance, the desire in his eyes, the warmth in his touch and the feeling in our intimacy. I gently brushed a stray strand of his hair away from his forehead, my heart filled with a profound sense of connection and adoration for the man who is filling the sense of feelings inside m

My alone feels so good. I will only have you of you are sweeter than my solitude. -Warsan Shire. |N I C O L A S|Life is unpredictable and I most certainly do not mean it in the negative way. When her lips curled upward in a small smile as she listens to the conversation of my friend, I realised how fucked I am. She is sitting beside Logan with her legs crossed on the couch as a mug of coffee if between her both hands, she sips on her hot coffee and listens to the conversation without making herself a part of it. And, I? I stand in the corner of the hall with my arms crossed on my chest as I observes her, notices her, stares at her, like a stalker from the shadows without coming out in the light. When I woke up in the cold bed today, I thought she left again to regret and we would go back to square one after everything but I was proved wrong when I found her in my hoodie and her shorts, working in the kitchen for her coffee. My heart flu

I care not about what you say but what you do to keep me. - Kavya Dixit. |Z Y R A|"You have got to be kidding me?!" Flora gritted through clenched teeth when I dropped the news about my latest and successfully accomplished mission two days ago, on my birthday evening. "Is that why you were late?" She narrows her eyes at me in question. I keepy gaze at the dark sky above us as I nodded in response. Flora threw her hands in the air in disappointment, "I can not believe you right now, Zyra." Flora stated and it was understandable, to an extent, from her point of view. "It was a fucking death mission and you just walked straight into it without even thinking of informing me, once!" She clenched her jaw in pure irritation and her hands curled in a fist as frustration flared right through her. "And, what about Nicolas?" Flora demanded the answer to her questions. "He fucking arranged everything for you and kept looking at the entrance h

You are scared of the way I make you feel, because you do not want to feel anything. -Maya Banks. |N I C O L A S|Dresden Green Diamond. The Diamond that was stolen from us by a woman, a few months ago, ia back in the picture, not like it ever left. I can not afford letting someone go with stealing from me.

In my heart, I've painted a masterpiece of love, but it seems you'll never know the strokes I've used. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|To say, I was both surprised and shocked would be an understatement. Her beautiful green eyes like a dresden diamond of their own, stared down into my gray ones. Her hair fell on either side of her face, blocking half of her face from my view yet I knew she looked as beautiful and gorgeous as ever. Her eyes held the frustration and rage I failed to see all this time. It was like she is trying to stop her inner beast from escaping her calmer self. I am not a person to be afraid of other people, I do not fear dead or alive. But at that moment, I feared for her. I feared for her as she looked like her inner demons were slowly taking over her body, despite her wanting otherwise. "It's me, little volcano." I forced the words out in the softest voice I could muster being a man who only knew how to bark orders.

It's been very rare to have known you, very strange and wonderful. -F. Scott Fitzgerald.|Z Y R A|The day is here. Flora packed the valuable dresden green diamond in a gift box, I don't know why, but she says its cool. Even though it does not look like it, yet I take her words for it. Maybe it would start seeming cool after a certain time. Clad in a green crop top and black jeans that embraces my form, I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my own reflection. Long raven strands cascade down my waist, entwined with secrets of the universe."You look fab." Flora complimented looking at my reflection in the mirror."I know." Was my great response to her. It was not a lie, because despite my skills that I am confident are better than most of the assassins, I am also aware of my good looks that lure my victims in my trap, most of the time, making a task easier. Flora stood up and came to hand me the box wrapped securely in a blue gift paper, "Are

Perhaps, I wanted you to fight for me the way, I would have fought for you. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|No one is here. It's been fucking three minutes since we have arrived here, yet the sender is not here yet, as she or he or whoever the fuck that is, stated in that letter. Crystal stood next to me, observing our surroundings as patiently as ever. Shawn have called her for at least five times already. For a second, I thought to fucking give him a piece of my mind but decoded otherwise when I understood that this is between the two of them. "Are they fucking kidding?!" I cursed, raking a hand through my perfectly styled hair. "It's been four minutes, Nic." Crystal stated in an U amused and bored tone."Whatever." I rolled my eyes, stuffing my hands back inside my pocket. We were busy observing the fucking environment waiting for a human, we know nothing, absolutely nothing about. And, trust me when I say so, I have never sounded more

She stumbled into love, and in the chaos of emotions, she found the most beautiful kind of grace. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|"Why are we going out for dinner tonight?" Flora questions her curious gaze flickering between Crystal and Logan who sat right in front of her. "Because Nicolas is being an ass." Was how Crystal replied. "And, that calls for a celebration?" I ask her, raising a brow that questioned their sanity to even come up with this plan. Right now, all four of us are gathered in the hall while Nicolas is locked up in his own room. Crystal says he had a bad day but I know what is wrong. It pisses him off that he failed to get any sort of information out of a kid, that kid being Cecily. Cecily Wright might be a kid but she is so fucking smart for her age. I met her on my birthday when I was roaming around in the streets of Italy because I wanted to avoid the day I was born on.Though, I can go upstairs and talk some mature sense into hi
