SAGE

Sage Miller

I had just returned From the warehouse. Today I had one delivery to make. Lucky for me I was upgraded from selling the merchandise to delivering the merchandise.

Connor was racing today and Sebastian had went home.

I pushed myself back on the sofa and kicked my shoes off then put my feet up on the coffee table.

A random show was on. I wasn't never a TV guy. I knew a few movies then some episodes I couldn't remember because I use to sit with Eve and watch with her. That's all.

So right now I only turned on the Tv because I wanted a background noise. I don't like silence, the quietness drives me crazy.

My Tuesday went long than I would've liked. I was exhausted and lazy but I was hungry too.

Connor said he'll pick up dinner so I had to wait up for him.

I was beginning to doze off when I heard a loud knock on the door. At first I had thought of ignoring it but I then thought otherwise.

It might be Connor. He has a neck for forgetting his keys.

With a growl-groan, I stood up grumbling about how annoying his habit is.

I grabbed the doorknob still scolding him.

"Next time I won't-" The rest of the sentence got stuck in my throat.

It wasn't Connor though I wished it was.

So many emotions ran through my body in seconds.

I felt my throat dry up. My jaw hitting the floor. Hell my eyes popped out of their socket.

Relived, confusion, happiness, anger. I felt them all in one go.

She was here, standing in my doorway. In all her glory. Looking so radiant.

Her blood her carefully styled. Her make up so perfect. The ocean blue eyes so sparkly.

My knees wobbled for a second. I held on to the door frame only to put my hand over hers.

I retracted my hand like hers burns. I held my hand close to my chest.

She smiled and for a second I was drunk. Her scent drugged me. She was my personal drug, invented only for me to get high. To get addicted on.

"Next time you won't what Sage?" Her voice was almost music to my ears.

My own vixen. My personal hell.

After all the sarge of emotion that went through me, I settled on one emotion that made more sense. Anger.

After I've decided on that feeling, I found my voice again.

Why should I be happy to see her when she chose another man over me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. I was surprised how calm my tone was.

She gave me a big smile. It almost blinded me.

"Can't I just pop by to see a lover?" She truly was a vixen.

Only then did I realise she was drunk. Her eyes were red and her posture wasn't so steady.

"Pop by? You blocked me. Why would you pop by." I asked her.

"That is in the past. Let go of the past Sage. Live in the moment. YOLO babe." She slurred.

"YOLO." I arched a brow at her.

"You know. You only live-" I stopped her.
