I turned off my cellphone and placed it on my lap."Nothing, just a friend."The corner of his lips rose and he sneered at me sarcastically."Friend."My eyes immediately narrowed due to irritation."It's a friend! Am I not allowed to make friends anymore-""I didn't say anything like that, Lily.""But why are you so angry-""You smile when you talk to your friend!""What's wrong with that. Do you want me to cry then-“"I'm jealous!"I was speechless for a moment and couldn't move where I was sitting.He violently washed the palm of his face and turned his back on me."W-What... H-Huh?"I must be going crazy. I didn't drink alcohol?"Nothing..."A few moments of silence passed. I just stared at his back.Did I hear right?"Are you jealous?"He didn't answer."W-Wait... Are you seriously jealous?" I still can't believe my question.My eyes widened even more and the worms in my stomach argued. I feel like I'm going to throw up hearts at any moment.My heart was beating so fast that I ch

I was still pretending to be asleep. I didn't open my eyes until I heard footsteps going away. I heard a deep sigh next to me so I slowly opened my eyes to see who it was. Edmund's dark eyes greeted me. His appearance is tough. "H-Hi..." I said. My throat felt dry. He acted easily and without saying a word handed me the water he poured from a jug on the table not far from the hospital bed. "Drink first." I took the glass but he was still supporting my every move. I finished a glass of water and then handed it back to him. "T-Thank you..." He took the glass and stood up to put it back on the table. "Get some rest, Lily." I snorted immediately. "But I've been resting for a long time..." How many days have I been here and it feels like a decade? I did nothing but sleep, answer the doctor and eat. I caught up with Edmund when I woke up but he was also leaving. He sighed and returned to my side. He gently caressed my hair so that I stared at his tense jaw. Is he angry? "How

I didn't show my nervousness. I tried to keep up with Edmund and pretend I wasn't nervous even though the truth was the first time I stepped on the smooth floor of the yacht I wanted to go back to the port again.Edmund still supported me even though I said it was fine. He took me to a room and came out when his phone rang.I, on the other hand, explored the large room and immediately settled on the couch to distract myself in front of the television because every movement of the yacht made me more and more nervous.I looked for a good movie but all I saw was horror so that's what I watched.I immediately lost my attention to the movement of the yacht but also regretted it when the scene I was watching became intense.The volume was loud because I grabbed the remote to turn it down but after pressing it a few times it still didn't turn down. It didn't work even though I slapped it on my hand.I was horrified when the killer doll's laughter suddenly soared in the movie. I anxiously loo

Because of what happened, I barely ate for the rest of breakfast. I saved every bite. When the food we ate was put away, I went straight to the hammock.It was behind the house, under two big acacia trees.I settled there carrying my cellphone that I hadn't touched in a few days.As soon as I logged in to my Facebook, I was greeted with so many messages from Nina. I didn't read everything, I just replied to his last message.Nina:Lily, where are you?Me:Good morning!I haven't blinked three times before I received a reply.Nina:Finally you replied! What are you doing! Let's meet, I'm home!Me:Edmund and I are out of town...I accompanied it with a sad emoji.Her first reply was the crying cat.Nina:Second honeymoon?Me:No, work related. Where are you now?Sometimes, you have to lie even to your closest friends. Because there are things that even if explained, you can't fully understand.Nina:Did yoga earlier.Me:Oh it's over?Nina:Not yet. But your reply is more important!I

The bodyguard arrived with a small first aid kit. Edmund put ointment on the burns and cleaned the small cuts on my hand with alcohol and cotton."You're always troubling yourself," he said when he finished what he was doing.I just snorted.I would like to reason that we won't have anything to eat if I don't cook but I know he won't accept it for any reason."It’s here!"We both turned to the source of the shrill voice and that was all Paul was pale. He regained his 'boyish' stance and then nonchalantly walked towards us."Breakfast is here."He put down what we both cooked and my face was almost red when I saw some burnt bacon there, I'm sure it was me.When he properly landed that in front of him, he straightened up and winked at me. The corner of my lips lifted because I knew he was just saying goodbye to admire the person next to me.Edmund faked a cough so we caught a glimpse of him.His eagle eyes watched Paul."We don't need any more, you can leave now."My eyes widened sudden
