"Let’s get you home, bubs.”
Darkness shrouded over Garden Of A Diary.
Sitting quietly on the wooden chair in the patio, Jay became one with the night around him.
His only source of light being the diamond set watch o n his wrist, its silver glow illuminating its hands.
The hour hand reached one o'clock.
Without an ounce of drowsiness, the hope in Jay's piercing eyes slowly dwindled as time ticked by.
Suddenly, a thud sounded off the side.
A lithe figure crawled up from the ground. Turning around, she was stunned in place with the sharp glare of a cell phone.
She lifted her arms to shield the flare only for her wrists to be caught by a pair of plier-like large hands the very next moment.
"Rose!"
Caught red-handed, Rose gave up on fighting back.
"Sir Ares, what are you doing awake so late at night?" she asked, evidently trying to get on his good side.
"Looking at the flowers," Jay replied.
Rose tilted up to stare at the starless sky. Who was he
trying to kid?
"What about you?" Jay asked.
Rose scratched the back of her neck and gave an awkward smile. "I must have been sleepwalking."
Jay was speechless."..."
"Are you awake now?"
Rose nodded. "The fall woke me up."
Then, she beamed a smile at him. “My apologies for interrupting you, Sir Ares. I'll be off now!"
She struggled to pull her hands out of his grasp as Jay did not seem to have any intentions of letting her leave.
