All Chapters of Paint me a heart: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Linda’s message said that she must kiss the person she cares the most here, but all the people were strangers until a few hours ago. I was the only person she could pick if she wanted to follow the rules.We stared at each other and silence fell around us, as everybody waited to see what Linda would do. I questioned in

It was a cold Fall morning and the clothes Tina picked for me were actually very comfortable and I felt cozy in the warm black vest, made of soft wool. Its treads were delicately twisted on the edges on its whole length up, reaching almost to my knees. Under it, I had a simple white button shirt, tucked in dark blue jeans. No heels for me today, as cute black flats were finishing my attire.

I walked to the back of the house, followed by the cold attitude of the hot guy I liked. I had prepared the place where we were about to stay for the next two or three hours. Ivalina made some kind of Bulgarian brownies with orange crusts and I prepared a thermos with hot white chocolate. Two teacups and a big plate of the doughty delicacy were resting on a small table with two garden chairs nearby.

I struggled with my concentration as I made a sketch of Thomas’s perfect features. Now I needed to add every curve and every detail that made him so hot and irresistible… or maybe he was that alluring only for me because of the way he was treating me and the sparks that he ignited with only a simple touch or intense glance in my direction.

Standing in front of the mirror, I was amazed at Tina’s never-ending ideas to pick the wrong style for me. I had long leather pants and a long-sleeved top, matching, and both snow-white. Some gold-ish zippers were closing tiny pockets over my breasts and under my waist. I felt like a white snake or something. I love white, but without the black, I felt like half of me and like I am a magnet for random stares at school.

I gaped at my step-brother with my mouth open, but no words were coming out of there. So I am not good for a spy.“Why were you following me? Did you tell someone?” His face was changing from threatening to worried and angry. “What do you think you saw?

“Why are you standing in the dark?” I asked Thomas and tried to make a step towards the switch to turn the light on, but he made a move like we were playing basketball, and I was running with the ball. “What are you doing?” I breathed when our faces nearly touched.

“Um, yeah! You should be more careful and not run in the halls. Didn’t your parents teach you that?” She smirked, watching down on me, as I was collecting my things from the cold floor.I shot her with my eyes, but then I groaned and lifted my hands in the air. There was no point in arguing with someone who is so quick to put the whole blame on me. It would only piss me off and I hadn’t nor the energy or the time for this.“Think whatever you want,” I sighed an

 Lately I was agreeing a lot to do stuff against my will. I was going to dates, making home parties, dressing up to someone else’s taste, and how I was about to step in the obvious trap that Olivia made for me. What was wrong with me?I put on my favorite black jeans and long sleeved sweatshirt with “Three days grace”, happy to wear them again. My hair was in a tight ponytail and I had a little fun placing black shades on my eyes, leaving my lips pale with colorless balm.It was awkward that I had no phone to take with me and I had arranged a meeting in front of a grocery store twenty minutes before s

 My blood was boiling from anger and a chill ran through my spine, seeing how much effort someone put into making me a character from a horror book.“Say that you are leaving my future boyfriend alone, or I will never let you out of this maze. I am waiting!” the message in the card ordered.I looked around for a camera but saw none. Then I looked up to where the three-meter fake cave walls ended and to the ceiling of the building. I could see a small dark glass room from where you could observe the whole maze. “It must be some kind of control room,” I whispered under my breath.
