“Miss…are you alright?” He asked again, this time shaking her arm a little bit to see if she was even listening to him.
Siana had just been staring at him, her eyes focusing on his eyes which seemed to be casting a spell on her. Her cheeks still had tears running down them as she felt the pain of the princess from the poem.
Unexpectedly enough, the more she looked into those eyes, the clearer and more blank her mind got, she couldn’t think or react to anything. However, when he shook her arm, she snapped back into reality, and once again panic took over her and she finally broke eye contact with him.
Someone was sitting so close to her and was touching her and it scared her. She had no idea how to react and just froze for she had never encountered such situations before.
Soon enough, Siana realized that she had to say something or do something to get out of the situation. He seemed worried for her and seemed to have no intention of leaving without knowing what was going on. She mustered some courage and looked at him once again.
“Y…yeah…I’m okay…” She managed to get some words out; her voice weak and shaky. That guy looked at her doubtfully as he tilted his head a little bit. Siana was trembling from panic and was still in tears. She felt uncomfortable and just wanted to get out of that situation, but he didn’t seem to get the hint and didn’t move at all.
“But you are crying so much…” He said in a soft voice as he extended his hand toward her.
Siana flinched and had no idea what he was going to do to her. A strange fear took over her as she wondered what might happen next, what he might do to her.
Contradictorily to her fears, that guy used the handkerchief in his hand to wipe away Siana’s tears. He touched her face lightly with it as he wiped them away. His gaze seemed soft and comforting as he looked right into her eyes those green eyes.
Siana was once again enchanted by that gaze, his touch felt so comforting to her that it seemed to wipe away all her pain and worries. She had never felt that way before and wanted to experience more of it.
Unknowingly she kept staring into his eyes as if looking deep into his soul. She forgot all about her promises about staying away from people and not reaching out to anyone and for a second she wished that she got to know this person.
“I got so worried for you when I saw you crying here…” He said as he finished wiping away all the tears from her face.
Siana watched in a daze as his hands moved away from her face; she had no idea that she had been crying. It surprised her to realize how much pain that poem brought her and how much she could relate to the princess.
However, it also left her feeling sad for she didn’t want to end up the same as the princess. That was partially the reason she distanced herself from all; she didn’t want to be betrayed.
He chuckled lightly as he saw her looking so confused at his actions. “Yes miss, you were crying while reading that book.”
Siana was surprised at that for it seemed as if he just read her mind but she ignored that thought in no time cause that whole situation was already a lot for her to take.
He finally moved away from her, leaning against the cupboard opposite Siana. He just sat there and looked at her, a mischievous smile all over his face.
They sat there like that in silence while Siana tried to get back to reading her book but was too distracted because she could feel him staring at her the whole time.
However, his presence also seemed to make Siana feel a certain kind of comfort. For once, it felt nice to know that someone worried about her and that she wasn’t as invisible as she always tried to be. It made her a little happy to know that there were people who noticed her.
After trying hard to get into the book, she gave up as she finally looked up at him and found him looking at her as well. He seemed happy to finally see her make eye contact with him.
“Y…you don’t have to worry so much about me…” Siana was trying her best to not sound nervous but things didn’t seem to be going her way.
Having avoided all interactions for years, talking to people now scared her and she always seemed to stutter; as if she forgot how to talk to them.
That guy laughed again, Siana’s actions seemed to amuse him and he seemed to be having a lot of fun just sitting there and watching her freak out.
“How can I not worry after I saw you being screamed at by those girls this morning…” His voice was low as if he didn’t want her to hear him but also high enough to let Siana know that he was doing that on purpose.
And his plan to freak her out worked pretty well; her color went pale as soon as she heard that sentence. Several thoughts filled her head as her brain started to weave stories again.
He had seen her that morning?! Was that why he was talking to her? To make fun of her or to see if he could bully her as well. Was her plan to avoid people going to fail just like that cause of one stupid interaction with some girls…?
“W…why are you talking to me…?” Siana finally managed to get her voice to sound as normal as possible. The fear was still clearly visible in it and it seemed to amuse that guy even more.
“I told you, darling, I was worried for you.” All she could focus on was the mischievous smile on his face as he said those words.
A shiver ran down Siana’s back; she felt disgusted on hearing those words and anger filled her to see him play with her feelings like that just for fun. She was about to get up from there and go away when he burst out laughing, confusing and angering her even more.
“HAHAHA!” He kept laughing at her while Siana just froze, too shocked to say anything. The embarrassment and insult she felt in that situation were indescribable.
“Oh god, this is too funny!” His laughter died down and he tried to get serious again. “I’m sorry for playing with you that way but I couldn’t help it…”
Repulsion was all Siana felt in that situation. That didn’t seem enough of a reason for him to do all that to her. They didn’t even know each other for him to play such a prank on her. She turned away from him without saying anything and was about to walk away when he called her again.
“I’m really sorry, okay! I just needed to give you something.” He held out his hand towards her. For one last time, Siana turned and looked back to see what he was talking about.
A shock filled her body as she saw him holding her phone. She slowly looked at his face and there it was, his mischievous smile that seemed similar to a devil’s…
Siana’s world came crashing down in no time. The comfort that she had felt with this guy, turned into fear and disgust in no time. He wasn’t as nice as he seemed for what he held in his hand was Siana’s phone, which was lost at the staircase. Was he following her? Or did he just happen to go there? But then how did he know it was her phone? How did he find her so quickly?Several scenarios crossed her mind and each one of them made him more and more suspicious of him. That mischievous smile on his face terrified her and made her want to get as far away from him as possible. “H…how do you have t…that…?” The fear became visible in her eyes and her voice trembled as she spoke. It just made him feel superior and his smile got bigger. He stepped closer to her and started swinging his arm that held her phone. “What do you think?” His green eyes sent shivers down her spine and it seemed as if they were threatening her. Siana backed away in no time and before she knew it she was already l
*8 hours later**sigh* The clock on Siana’s watch read 8.30 pm and finally her day had come to an end after finishing her part-time job. This was a day filled with so many emotions that it had exhausted her and she now stood in front of the door to her house with her keys in her hand. Her hands trembled a little bit for the fear of being stalked by someone so dangerous made her a little paranoid. What if he was inside her house? What if he had been spying on her? What if he was sitting inside ready to attack her? After a long silence, Siana took a deep breath and unlocked the door. She didn’t want to stop living her life just cause of someone like him. And finally, she pushed the door open…it was complete silence. She started looking around the whole house which wasn’t too big, it just had one room with a small living room attached to the kitchen and a balcony which was Siana’s favorite part. After looking everywhere, she found nothing but still, her panic just seemed to increase a
*Clunk Clunk*Siana froze as she heard the sound of heels coming toward her. Her heart stopped beating for a second; all she focused on was that sound. Closing her eyes tightly, Siana hoped that it would be Verona who’d be standing behind her. She calmed down her panic for she didn’t want to look so bad if she met her again. Wiping the invisible tears off her face, she was ready to turn around. A new hope took over her heart as she felt like Verona was near and she would meet her now. Siana turned around slowly, a suppressed smile on her face as she hid her excitement from her lover who was apparently walking towards her. “Oh I finally found you!” Siana’s heart dropped immediately as she heard that voice. She tried her best to keep a neutral expression on her face cause she didn’t want this person to know any of her secrets. “What is she even doing here?” Siana thought to herself as she clenched her fists tightly. Forcing a smile on her face, Siana finally turned around to face t
“Siana please help us with this.” In no time, Siana had a heavy plate of food orders in her hands. “Give it to table 6.” Ann told her with a smile on her face. Siana smiled back but sighed as she turned around. It was currently 5.30 pm and she had gotten done with college about half an hour ago and now she was at her part-time job. She was supposed to work there for 6 hours but she was tired already from everything that had happened during the day. There was a bright smile on her face the whole time she was working there cause she didn’t want things in her personal life to affect her work or the other people around her. Siana felt uncomfortable if anyone asked her how she was or if something was wrong. Ignoring everything going on in her life, Siana just focused on her work as she served customers in that restaurant. It was a pretty famous one so they were really busy in the evening. Her already tired body was tired out even more by working constantly for the rest of the day. Howev
“V…Verona…” Siana whispered under her breath as she stared at the figure that stood outside her door. She finally saw that same bright smile again and it brought tears to her eyes immediately.The smile reassured her they both still felt the same way, that they were still what they were 5 years also and Verona was still madly in love with Siana. What was even happening? Why was Verona here? If she had come back, why didn’t she meet her in the library? Why was she hiding for so long? If they were done already, why had she come back now?There were several unanswered questions in her mind. However, Siana chose to ignore them all and pulled the door wide open. With no other words, she jumped into Verona’s arms who was much taller than her. Verona laughed as she caught her and hugged her back. “Hi honey…” Verona whispered into her eyes as she squeezed her closer. She had a bright smile on her face as she held the love of her life close in her arms. “How you been, my love?” All the ans
Pitch-black darkness…even after she opened her eyes, Siana couldn’t see anything. She was confused by what was happening and had no idea where she was. When she moved her hands, she realized that her hands had suddenly turned small and so was her whole body. She became a child somehow…about a 5-year-old child.Once she moved from her place she realized that she was inside an unfamiliar room. There were no lights on and therefore it was dark. Siana got down from the bed which was a hard task with her tiny body. Still, she pulled herself and walked towards the door, the creaks of which provided the only light in that room. She opened the door slowly and walked into a completely different and vintage hallway. There were pictures of queens and kings on the walls, the windows showed a sigh of just endless forests. It seemed like she was in a castle and that confused Siana even more. She heard some voices from the distance and she walked towards them. They led her to a room that looked li
The message on Siana’s phone confused her but she didn’t want to do anything about it. She had gotten too scared the day before by everything that he had done to her so she didn’t want to walk into the darkness voluntarily. Time was passing like sand and Siana spent all of it just sitting on the couch, wondering what had happened with Verona last night and how she had just left without a trace. Why did she have to do that?She felt something rub against her leg and flinched from suddenness. Once she looked down, she saw Kai rubbing against her legs as if he was trying to comfort her. “How do you always know how I feel?” She said as she sighed. She bent down and picked up Kai. And after half an hour of zoning out, she finally got up. She carried him to the bedroom and fell onto the bed. “I don’t know what to do…” She sighed deeply as she felt conflicted by all the mess that occurred in less than a day. Kai sat close to her and licked her hand. She smiled faintly and petted his head
“Sorry…I don’t know who you are…” Verona said in a confused tone as she looked at Siana calmly. “Hey! She already said she doesn’t know you so let go of her!” Lilia, Chloe’s best friend said in a raised voice as she intended to let everyone know what was happening. Her motive once again was to embarrass Siana. Siana looked up and observed what faces they all were making. Her hand was still tightly holding onto Verona’s wrist. Chloe and Lilia stood on either of Verona’s sides, the former was composed and calm but she too was pretending as if she didn’t know Siana as she didn’t want anyone to question her or find out that the two of them got along pretty well. Lilia on the other hand was very obviously annoyed and was rolling her eyes as she stared at Siana. “Let go already!” She said as she pushed Siana away who moved a few steps back. “Lilia…” Chloe said in a sighing tone as she just stood there and looked away as if she never saw that sight. She wanted to get out of there but it
