Xenia pov :
"Xenia?"A hand shakes my shoulder,making me snap out of my thoughts.
I pant slightly as i see Fiena hovering above me with a frown.
We are at a cafe shop opposite to Cosmiv.Fiena came to pick me up today.
Or more like i forced her to.I just can't push away the fear that i might run into him.Specially since i found out that Cosmiv is actually his company.
But unfortunately there's nothing i can do about it since i need this job.
"Where are you lost?You look pale.Are you okay?"
I brush away her hand gently when she tries to take my temperature and stand up,taking my bag.
"I am fine.Just a bit under the weather."
I am not fine at all.
My heart feels like it will burst out of my chest.Every day i live with the guilt of loosing her.It feel's like i am dying yet i am not allowed to die.
Was that pain and torture not enough?
Why..after all these time did i have to meet him?Why?
A face flashes in my mind and my heart gets cold in fear.
Witson.
This name has been my worst nightmare since high schooldays.I still remember how they had made my and Esme's life hell.
I still remember,how they had forced Esme to the point of committing suicide.
I lost her forever,just because of him.
And now that he came in front of me,how dare he pretend to not know me?
He acted like this was the first time we met.When he continued to make my life hell for three years back then.
Or..is it so insignificant to him that he didn't even bother remembering?
Right,people like us are nothing but plaything and entertainment to him.Why would he bother remembering?
"Let's get going.It's already getting dark."i say,my mood already sour from thinking about Esme.
"Let's wait for 5 minutes.Brother is coming to pick us up."Fiena says and i frown,sitting back in my seat."Didn't you bring your own car?Why is he coming?"
She roll's her eyes and looks at me teasingly."Why do you think?"
A few minutes later,a few girl's squawk excitedly and we already know that he is here.
Brother Adam have always been popular with girls.Even back at college,girls would flock outside his classroom just to see him.
But i have never seen him date someone.Even though he looks like a playboy he is surprisingly quite decent and serious about it.
"Did you guys wait for long?"Brother Adam asks and just as i turn towards him,a pleasant scent reaches my nose,calming my tense nerves.
He is holding out a bouquet of white rose and Jasmine towards me.His black jacket slightly wet with raindrops since it's drizzling outside.
I look towards Freya and see a similar bouquet in her hand but of Lilies.
"We didn't wait for long.Thank you brother."i say taking the bouquet with a smile.
He gives me a charming smile and takes a seat beside me.
He has always been gentle manly like that,bringing us flowers and chocolates every now and then.
He never excludes me or compares between Fiena and me,even though she is his sister.And i am thankful for that,he gives me the feeling of having a brother without actually having one.
"Ay!I like roses!Why do you hand me different flower bouquets every time?It's never rose for me!"Fiena complains and narrows her eyes at my bouquet."And there's always rose in her bouquet.Thats discrimination right there Adam!Who is your sister?"
I chuckle and brother Adam rolls his eyes."Lilies suit you better Ena.They don't die easily,just like you."
Fiena looks at me with a sceptical and confused gaze."Was that a compliment or sarcasm?It seems more like the second one to me."
I shrug my shoulders not telling her that he probably called her a cockroach in a nice way.
"You still have the cheek to think whether it's a compliment or sarcasm?You should be happy that i brought you flowers.Look at you,you are already a graduate but you haven't had a single boyfriend till now.Would you ever receive flowers if not for me?Be content."Brother Adam say's and Fiena looks at me with betrayal when i sniffle a laugh.
