"H-hey, hi! W-wait! " I called out. He stopped and turned, then raised a brow at my panting state. Once I regained my composure I stared at him, the paper with the drawing of him still in my hold. My grey eyes met his honey brown ones and I almost melted into them. They were the most beautiful orbs I've ever seen. The light honey brown gloss with streaks of chocolate browns in them..calling for my attention and I gladly gave it. He cleared his throat and I snapped out of my daydream. "S-sorry, you j-just have p-pretty eyes. " I stuttered out the compliment. He didn't reply and my freckled face went red. "H-here, I'm s-sorry if it's r-rude but I-I ma-made a drawing..f-for you.

" I added again, his eyes peeled away from the drawing and stared at me. Those cold honey browns melted into something I couldn't quite understand but I still smiled at him then walked off. ☁︎☁︎☁︎ •𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐀 ©𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 ☁︎☁︎☁︎

Not in a thousand of years.' I took a deep breath and my nose was suddenly filled with a citrusy, clean and old spice scent. Somehow during our fight, he had come closer to me and that was his scent. We were eye to eye, our noses nearly touching. We're like fire and rain. **** Daphne Carson and Cayden Princeton hate each other since practically forever.

She shifted away from him and he eyed her emotionlessly from where he stood. She shivered as she thought of the brutal way he killed Lillian and Jamie. Before she could say a word, he took her by the wrist and dragged her out of the room. xXx [I posted this story in 2014, that's seven years ago. Asides that, I typed the whole story on my phone. So, go easy on me please. I have decided not to delete or even touch this story or anything as I would like to keep it as a reminder of what I did seven years ago. I went through this book and I feel really proud of myself. Read through and be proud of me too. 💓 adetayo_first. July, 2020]
