The Curse Of A Certain Star

CHAPTER 18✨VENGEANCE

Orion's POV

As midnight comes trailing underneath the perfect midnight velvet sky. The brilliant stars twinkled above us, as we both discovered the once unheard music of our heartbeats played.

After we have shared our warmth through our lips, I saw her eyes sparkle when we parted. Her lips curve up into a smile and I couldn't help but smile back. But that smile came along with tears in her eyes.

"Hush, Princess. Don't cry." I slowly wiped her tears away.

"T-That was a freaking ultimate flashback... I'm still confused right now, Jasper...Orion." She looks straight into my eyes. "I just wanna hug you now." And with that, I felt her arms wrapped around me, hearing her small whimpers, feeling her heartbeat.

"You have gone through a rough road, Orion. But now, you won't be alone. I'll be here for you as always." She added while her face was still buried on my chest.

"Grazie, And so am I, Princess." [Thank you] I know she's perplexed because it's a lot to take in. Perhaps, I'm not quite sure if she will believe everything she just saw earlier. But that's my whole reality, my almost unforgotten past.

It's been a week since I revealed my real self to Clarisse. I'm really glad that she accepted me fully. She has been staying here at my flat every after my shifts, enjoying our alone time together. Such as dinner dates, playing board games, Netflix and chill, and many more.

Gladly it's my day off today so I treated Clarisse in her favourite coffee shop in the morning. But of course, I took her here at my house so I could cook some lunch for her.

We have been also waiting for Azalea to come back from her friend's place. So, I planned to make a
special dishes for the three of us.

I'm just chilling here on the sofa, watching a movie while waiting for Clarisse. She's taking a call from her publishing company for a while.

Waiting time scenarios have never been this boring for me. Somehow I feel something odd today, I don't know if there's something unusual that would happen. I just wish I would hit the goal!

Azalea's POV

Silently walking at the sidewalk as my mind is clouded with confusion. Within these past few days, I've been seeing odd scenarios in my dream. And if that really happened a long time ago, I don't know what's the first thing I should feel.

The noisy street was filled with a crowd, unknown faces, unknown struggles. Everyone's been facing a tough time, and so am I. While I was getting near our flat, I was getting bothered about my feelings.

Jasper's been there for me ever since... But then, everything turns to be messed up like hell. Whether it's a pure coincidence or could also be a plotted fate.

When I finally reached my destination, I didn't bother to ring the doorbell, the door's unlocked anyway. I took a final deep breath before finally entering the house.

Stepping my feet inside, not even saying a word. Even though I have seen Jasper's back plainly sitting on the couch while watching TV.

While I'm on my way to the staircase, I was stiffed in my position when I suddenly heard him say, "Hey, you're here, Azalea. What's up?"

"Hey, Jasper. Just fine." I answered, trying to make my voice sounds normal.

When I looked back, he was facing at me already but still sitting, "I haven't heard from you for a while. What happened, you little rascal?" He asked with a jolly face.
