“You need a man in your life!” My best friend said as she sat down in front of me.
“No, I don’t, I have you,” I said laughing at the frown that pulled her lips down.
“That is the problem! You shouldn’t be just fine with me,” she exasperated taking a sip of the wine that I had ordered before she had arrived, “You need to get laid.”
Her last statement was a serious one and realizing that the conversation was heading into a direction that I didn’t really like I looked away and took a sip of my own wine.
“It’s just as I saw in my vision,” I murmured trying to bring her attention back at the main topic at hand.
“I knew that was the reason you insisted we come to this fancy hotel even though you don’t like them as much. I am sure you wouldn’t even like the food here,” Lisa muttered shaking her head at me with an annoyed expression gracing her face. It made me feel bad for a small second but it was hard to control myself. What happens to me isn’t normal.
How can I possibly not be intrigued by it?
Her angry words brought my attention back to her, “How many times do I have to tell you Silia, you don’t have to follow each one of your visions, you might fall into trouble someday.”
Her anger was more a result of the worry that she felt for me and that fact always made me smile. I didn’t have anybody else but her in this world.
“Oh come on don’t give me that innocent smile,” she said, “You always do that ever since the first day we met in college and you sat next to me.”
Taking a bite of the slightly pricier than normal chicken salad I couldn’t help but grimace at the taste in disappointment. She had been right the old diner around the corner of our apartment had better tasting food than this.
Nonetheless a smile curled onto my lips again and answering her I said, “But you know it makes me happy to see them come true every time. Even though my visions are slightly altered, the fact that I might be able to see future even for a little bit makes me feel kind of special in its own way.”
This had been my secret that no one else but she knew about. I am sure anyone else would have called me stupid or a liar if I were to tell them about possessing such an ability but this brown eyed beauty accepted me just the way I am.
“It is that face that you make that I can’t deny and just follow you along in these ridiculous plans of yours. I mean give me a break, why can’t you just cry to me about normal boy stuff instead of chasing after visions from the fucking future?” she sighed and though she used harsh words her expression had been soft making me grin back at her like an idiot.
“You don’t need to worry about me; my clairvoyance is really lame as compared to the other people on the internet. I can only predict some place or thing that I am going to go to or I am about to try and I think most of them only come true because I drag you to those places with me after I see them in my visions,” I chuckled making her laugh along, “But I believe that this ability is still a gift and I want to see where this takes me.”
She looked like she was about to say something when suddenly her phone rang and looking at the caller ID once she narrowed her brows and then sighing she pushed her chair away and got up from the table, “I am so sorry but it is a work call, I need to take this. I will be back late so take a taxi home today and keep the doors locked properly. I will quietly let myself in later so go to sleep.”
Her words held finality in her voice as her expression told me to follow the instructions that she had laid out without any questions and nodding at her I said, “It will be lonely without you so come back soon.”
That line made her smile her first real smile and grabbing her purse she left me with a final wave.
Realizing that now that she was gone I had nothing better to do I paid for the meal and decided to leave to catch an early night’s sleep.
Walking to the elevator I noticed a man enter it and the doors begin to close. Running to reach it in time I shout at the person inside to keep it open for me but nothing happens and extending out a hand I managed to step into it, barely making it in time as the door closed behind me again.
Rude.
I couldn’t help but think that when I noticed that the entire lift had been empty save for one man standing in the corner. Couldn’t he have pressed the button and opened up the lift for me when it wasn’t even jam packed?
Wanting to look at the face of the rude jerk that had ignored me I discreetly glanced to the side and felt disappointment and awe struck me.
It was embarrassing to say this but why did god always give the attractive guys the worst personalities?
His sleek jaw was the first thing my eyes fell on followed by the grey eyes that were sternly set and glaring at the doors of the lift as if scolding it for failing to close on time and keeping me out of it. Even the color of his platinum blonde hair, almost white seemed to match the cold personality of his as it sat on top of his head with not a single fly away out of its formation.
For a quick second it seemed like his eyes flitted to the side and met my blue ones.
The suddenness of the gaze made a sensation run through me and suddenly he was kissing me. Those pink lips were hot against my own as it sped and nipped at my sensitive skin that he took against my permission. A hand came to cage me against the wall of the elevator, making me gasp at the cold metal bar that dug into my waist and gave him the chance to glide his tongue into my mouth.
What was happening?
I didn’t really understand but the emotions the kiss was making me feel was fucking with my head. His other hand roamed over my body, each place that he touched lighting me up in a fire that was rapidly making my breath uneven and my knees weak. A need started rising in my stomach and I didn’t understand if I should push him away or continue letting him get his way with me. I tried understanding what was happening but all I knew was that I was happy even as I felt him slowly release my lips and kiss my cheeks. I watched as he said something but his words didn’t reach my ear and the sound of a beep message from my phone snapped me out of my trance. Wait, was that a vision? But how? My breath had been labored and I could feel the man’s eyes on me but I couldn’t turn to look at him. Not yet, I was afraid that the need that I felt for him in me of the feeling that my vision was making me crave would make me act on it. I therefore looked down at my pointy toed red heels wondering if t
“Are you planning on just standing out there?” The same emotionless voice that had spoken to me yesterday called out to me from inside his office and I hesitated for a second longer at the fear that I realized I was feeling, “I despise people who waste my time.” Taking that as my last warning I took a deep breath in and plastered a fake smile on my face to greet him. At my entrance he turned to look at me and for a second I felt myself incapable of breathing. The way the light shone from behind him, through the glass walls and created a silver lining to his impressive physique made him look like an angel, a divine being, that was until I saw the color that blotted his grey clothing sinisterly. It broke my fantasy all at once and I was thankful for that reality check. The red didn’t seem to bother him and neither did the stench of blood that was heavier inside than it had been outside and gulping some saliva to moisten my throat I looked at him and then outside the window, wondering i
Who did they think they were to be treating me as such?I couldn’t help but grumble as I rushed out of the building and headed straight towards a taxi from which a passenger had just stepped down. Slamming the door shut behind me I placed my head in between my hands and ruffling my hair I let out a suppressed shriek. The embarrassment of the situation was now hitting me with more force now that I was able to think properly.How could I have been so stupid?Banging my head against the passenger seat in front of me I let out another frustrated cry as Lisa’s voice echoed in my head. I just knew what she would have said if she saw me right now.‘See, I told you that one day you would get in trouble because of your blind faith in your visions.’Those words were mocking me and stopping me from actually telling her the truth. I wanted to unburden myself off these angry thoughts but going to her wasn’t an option this time. She wouldn’t let me hear the end of this if she found out what I had d
*SILIA MORGAN *“Silia?”Shit!“Are you going somewhere?” Lisa’s tired voice asked me as she looked at me from where she was sprawled on the sofa of the living room. I had estimated that she should have been out for her work by now and that was the only reason why I decided to make my move. What do I do now that she has found me?“Hey, I am talking to you! What’s with that bag?” she asked motioning to the small bag that I had hurriedly packed as soon as I had woken up.Realizing that I had to face her now I turned around to look at her and giving her a sheepish smile I completely ignored her questions and said, “Good morning! I didn’t know you aren’t going to work today.”“Yeah, I was out till late last night and I didn’t feel too good today so I thought I would skip but what’s wrong with you? Why are you acting so nervous and you still haven’t answered my questions,” She said sitting up straighter, most probably having sensed something off about me.But what do I tell her? I hardly k
“Couldn’t you have said this before making me drive all the way here and you also made me wait for you for around half an hour too?” He drawled grumbling at me. His reaction came as a surprise and blinking my eyes at him I stared at his face causing him to ask, “What?”“No, why aren’t you asking me anything? I was sure you would call me crazy or something,” I said shrugging my shoulders. It was weird, I had barely known this man and yet I felt comfortable around him to spew out my feelings. Or was it because he was a stranger that it made it easier?“No, I think I had already established this yesterday that you aren’t a sane person in any terms, and with the declaration that you just made I think that fact has pretty much just solidified in my mind,” he said, nodding at his words as if trying to make sense to himself more than to me. Looking back at me then he asked, “So, do you want me to drive you to a mental facility? I am sure you need to get your brain checked.”“Hey! I am not cr
What?Draven was following me himself now?What the fuck did I do this time?Could it be true that he is coming to ‘mess me up’ like Nicholas had claimed to?The thoughts were running wild in my head and were only pressing down on me more and more as I saw his car nearing us by every second.“Fuck!” Nicholas’s cursing brought my attention to him, “Why do we have to get stuck in a traffic jam right now?”What was wrong with my luck? Why now of all time?Draven’s car stopped just behind us and turning to look back at him I tried to search for him but the windows had been tinted so dark that nothing was visible of the inside of the car’s passengers.“Do you think he would try to do something here? Among all these people?” Nicholas asked agitatedly tapping his fingers against the steering wheel while honking at the car in front of us with his other hand. I tried to think but before I could come to a conclusion he shook his head and continued, “Who am I kidding? Last month I saw him shoot
“W-What?” I asked any more words refusing to leave my mouth as I tried to grab my senses. He looked angry for some reason as he beheld me in his stormy gaze. The grey in his eyes only seemed to dig more harshly into my soul at the response that I had shed on him.Grasping my hands again with one hand he brought the other one to my face and roughly took hold of my chin. I didn’t know why but for some reason it seemed as if he had been pissed at me, like I had made a grave mistake. He surveyed my face with a quarrying gaze and the anger made me gulp in anxiety as his searching scrutiny scorched my skin.A button pressing sound could be heard and looking out from the corner of my eye I could see that the divider between the driver and back seat had been raised to give him some privacy. From my position I could see that we had moved out of the jam and I wondered where he was taking me.“You have no sense of danger do you? You never learn,” he said, his words coming out quipped and heated.
“I swear if you try something like that again I am going to strangle your neck with my own bloody hands!” Nicholas shouted through the other side of the phone making me wince and pull it away from my ear. I had been ignoring taking his calls since yesterday and I guess I had blown his whistle with the pent up frustration.But I just couldn’t bring myself to tell him about what happened yesterday. It was so embarrassing!“You know you sound more like a member of the Mafia than the Don himself,” I chuckled somehow feeling better to be talking about it even though I had feared doing so yesterday. I even worried Lisa with my behavior again.“Haha so funny,” he snarked at my words and chuckling at that I heard him sigh and then continue, “I know that you don’t want to tell me about yesterday so I am not going to ask but I find it really weird that you are still alive.”“Way to tell me that you wish me dead,” I snickered at his words knowing that he didn’t mean it but in reality I was just
