Shimmers & Shrouds (Abstruse) Read Online Free PDF

"Should I get you a king sized couch next time?" I glared at him
"Won't I get to sleep here?"
    My heart skipped a beat again. T he anger melted like an ice would if placed on the burning stove. I sat there staring at him. His face was full of innocence, the way I always wanted it on mine.
"I don't know." I said shyly as I got down from the bed, anger ruined, my head had definitely rotten!
"You're not going out, anywhere during the day. Media is the last thing I want at my doorstep." I warned him. Glaring.
"I am not used to obey orders". He said. Yeah, you give orders instead― I kind of know that.
"I'll be going out to get you some quarter pants, after that, please be kind enough to take a bath." It sounded a request this time.
I rushed into the bathroom immediately. I had to get some groceries as well, and Summer wanted to take the assignment from me at ten in the pizzeria. She was asking me if she could come home. I hid the horror in my voice and told her it would just be fine for me to meet her there. The thought of Summer seeing Orpheus in my house was as scary as watching grudge in a jungle.
     
     
     
     
    Summer was as radiant as ever, but she seemed more than pleased to see me.
"Is that― are you blushing O?" She seemed stunned as if she had seen a whale in her swimming pool.
"No." Perhaps I was blushing even more now.
"What― the― hell!" She hugged me immediately. I was clueless about the thoughts running in her head.
"Don't tell me you said yes to Will?" She looked at me with surprise and hugged me again. Oh no! Seriously?
"No summer. It's always been a no, and it will never change." I puffed.
"But there has to be someone. I mean, this redness on your face isn't usual. I know." Summer was not going to let this go so easily. Damn the blood cells.
"I was watching porn."
    She wouldn't really believe if I told her about the Greek god who was watching T.V in my house , perhaps. I started walking. Arguing with her on a day like this was the last thing I was expecting.
"Okay, with whom?"
    I looked at her, exasperated.
"Oh Summer, what am I going to do with you? There's no one." My level of endurance had almost ended.
That convinced her, nearly, and she started telling me about her date but mind was absorbed in his thoughts, I was barely aware of anything around me; somehow, I just knew that I had to keep walking.
"You know Orpheus?" I asked her.
    She stopped speaking, dazed by my sudden interference.
"Orpheus who? Orpheus Albert?"
"Yes." I looked away. There was just one guy with such a weird name.
"Of course." She smiled. "Who doesn’t? That charming guy with a hell lot of money."
    Thoughtful. I didn't kn ow that. Thanks a lot, Summer.
"Yeah. He's cute." More than cute, actually he was BREATH TAKING. He was god’s miracle.
“Cute? Are you kidding me? O, He is one charismatic guy with dripping sex appeal...  mmm." By the look on her face, it looked like she was thinking about his naked body. I grew jealous and this made no sense. Though he would certainly looked best without his clothes. Even the thought of it was SO HOT.
"And old." I cut in, driving my attention to the negative side.
“And his looks so attractive and mouth drying that he can make any girl go gaga over him."
    TRUE.
"And old."
“And a smile that can melt the heart of even the married ladies, can you imagine?" She was simply ignoring my comments.
"And old." I repeated.
"Yes. But what's the big deal? He's just twenty nine." Okay. I did manage to get on her nerves again.
"He's going to turn thirty this year." I snapped.
"It’s amazing that he looks like twenty two. I love him. I'm his big fan... as in B-I-G. I'm waiting to see who the girl he’s going to marry is." She beamed a charming smile.
 The day went pretty well and it was sad to leave her. She was too good to spare, but the mention of a pair of quarter pants in the list reminded me of a special guest at home. He must be hungry. I purchased whatever I could
