It was about 8am that morning, but the house seemed quiet. Robert left his room quietly and walked to Jude's room."Grandfather?" He called softly, his head slightly through the door while the other part of his boy waited outside. Jude didn't respond, so Robert went in, walking as calmly as he could. His legs were almost not touching the floor. obert stood by the side of his grandfather's bed, watching him as he slept peacefully. He hadn't done that in a while, and now that he finally did, the feeling of relief was immeasurable. He had invited the caregivers Liam had recommended, over to the house. And while he waited for their arrivals, he decided to see how his grandfather was doing. He wasn't surprised at the rush of different emotions he felt. His happiness and anger were the most peaking emotions though. Angry he was, at the ordeal that had taken place between Mr Daniel and himself. But at the same time, he was happy seeing his grandfather breathing and alive. He had no intentio

"Good morning, sis." Mary smiled widely, in front of the mirror, as her sister stirred in bed. "It's almost 11am, aren't you going to work, sleepyhead?"Juliet's eyes fluttered open. She moved her hair away from her face and inhaled. "Are you okay?" Mary asked again, when her sister didn't respond."I'm fine." Juliet finally said, her voice coarse yet soft. She sat up, gently rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm."So, what are we doing today since you aren't going to work?""Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll just have some more rest. My boss literally have me the day off just for that.""Oh! I see. That's nice, sleeping beauty." Mary hissed viciously. "What was that about?" Juliet asked calmly, still unable to understand why Mary acted the way she did towards Robert. "I know you don't relate well with strange people, but why does it seem like you hate him? He didn't even do anything to you. I mean, you just met him.""I don't hate him." Mary sighed, slightly rolling her eyes. "He'

She looked in the mirror one last time, her red lips carving in to a mysterious smile. She leaned a bit forward and stared at her sparkling, silver shoes."Now, this is an ensemble for a date." She pushed her hair a backwards, but it came right back, bouncing in to position at the side of her face. She smiled once more, placing a little, fancy bag on one of her arms. In her other hand was her phone. "It's 7pm already. Arghh..." She grunted. "Where is this guy? Oh my word. I really needed his to come pick me up before it's time. Curse these drivers for rent." She dialled a number immediately and placed the phone against her ear, trying as hard as she could to be patient. But he did not answer. She grunted again, feeling very frustrated as she dialled his number again."Good eve...""Where are you, Greg? I told I needed to be out of the house by this time. Where are you?" Her voice was loud and somewhat agitated."I'm sorry, ma. I just got caught up in traffic.""Don't give me that, mis

At the end of he date, Robert drove Olivia home in his car. The night had already gone really far at the time. While in the car they both stole some really steamy glances from each other, and talked a lot of other things that had not been shared in the date. Sometimes Robert will catch himself in the middle of laughter and wonder to himself if he was really indeed ready for whatever it was he was about getting into. She would catch him in those moments, and he would return her gaze with a smile, wondering if she caught him in those moments at times.They arrived at her vicinity soon enough and Robert stepped down from the car, and then circled it to go open the door for Olivia."What a gentle man" she said, both cheeks on her face red as she blushed hard."Well, atleast I try my best to be a gentleman." He chuckled as he guided her down the vehicle. For some reason she nearly tripped down from the car, but quickly with a dash as quick as light, he caught before she would plunge int

Robert got to the office that morning feeling whole. He had finally laid down the doubts in his heart about dating Olivia, deciding to give it a try. But it was the exact opposite for Juliet. She sat at her desk feeling very dejected and incomplete. Robert had talked to her for a while when he came in, asking how she was doing. And she wore a smile and responded "fine". She knew she wasn't fine, and it made her wonder if she would ever truly be happy. At least, seeing Robert's face had lifted her mood. But unknown to her, the feeling wasn't going to last long.It was almost lunch break. So, Juliet was surprised when she heard the elevator ding."It must be Liam... Again." She rolled her eyes as she said to herself. But to her greatest surprise, a woman walked in. Long red hair that followed behind her, beautiful curves, with baby blue eyes. She had a short black dress on, coupled with a pair of black, glittering heels. Juliet knew she didn't work at the office, but she looked awfully
