LOGINLena was speaking with Chloe on the phone as she folded her clothes into her bag.When the doorbell rang."I'll call you back, Chloe," she said."Ethan!""Yes, baby."He said as he gave her a kiss."You're back early.""Are you not happy to see me?" he asked, pouting playfully."Of course I am. If I had known you would be back this early, I would have prepared your favorite food.""Really? What's the occasion?"Lena smacked his shoulder."So I can't make your favorite food without something special tagged to it?""Now you're here, I have something to tell you.""Go on," he said, sitting on the couch."The research club I joined... we're going for wildlife research.""Okay, that's nice.""We're spending a few days over there.""What do you mean? I thought it was a one-day thing.""No. I would have loved it if you could join, but you're busy, right?" Lena asked, hoping he would give a positive response."I would have loved to join you, but you know I can't.""I came down for this, so I
Ethan smacks his lips together, come here he said dragging her gently towards himLet's just lay down and sleep okay, it's really late.Tomorrow we will talk about it.She comes out of his embrace.I said you should prove it, she repeated again looking him in the eye.Lena…Ethan called more gently like a warning.She ignores him folding her arms and not moving an inch.Fine, he said sounding defeated.He takes her by surprise carrying her up, making her cradle him.She gasps and wraps her legs around him for grip.He gently cups her face as they kiss.Lena deepens the kiss roaming her hands around his body, caressing his hair.They kept kissing while he walked towards the bed with Lena still on him.When they reached the edge of the bed he dropped her lightly.While Lena spreads on the bed, bitting her lips in anticipation.Ethan seats beside her making the bed sulk.And taps the space beside him signalling Lena to move.She looks at him in confusion.Lena, let's have a talk, that's
The past few days Lena had been bonding more with Ethan. She could finally love someone without hurting anyone. But even if it seems like she has it all, she couldn't help but still feel like something is missing. Jayden had moved out of the building. She didn't even know; she thought he traveled at first. Until the owner was bringing in people to check the house; that was when she knew he had gone. The day she found out she was going to get a lens for her camera, she heard noises towards that area and, out of curiosity, moved there. "Yeah, you're going to love it," Mr. Simone, the house owner, said. It's quite spacious, the guy said. Hello, good morning. Lena said to the both of them. Oh, look who's here. Hi, Lena. Are you on your way to work? Yes, I heard a noise and decided to find out what's going on. Oh, nothing serious; I'm just showing this young man around. Ermm… what about Jayden? He lives here. He didn't tell you; such a shame. I thought you guys were close.
The next day, Chloe was set to travel back.The two of them stayed up all night packing. Lena tried everything possible to convince Chloe to stay a little longer, but she refused.Instead, Lena ordered pizza, and they ate it with chilled drinks while blasting music all over the apartment.Chloe's vacation was over. She had to resume work immediately, and she had recently been promoted, so she couldn't afford to stay back any longer.Besides, her boyfriend had been on her neck, begging her to come home.It was a bittersweet moment for Lena.They laughed, reminisced, and talked about how they would keep in touch no matter the distance.Early the next morning, Lena escorted Chloe to the airport so she could catch her flight.The moment they arrived, Lena broke down.She had tried so hard to hold it in, but at the very last minute, a sob escaped her lips.Chloe turned around."Are you crying?" she asked, her eyes widening.Lena sniffled."Girl... why should I cry?""Aww." Chloe pulled her
They were eventually rescued from the elevator. The moment the doors slid open, Jayden didn't utter a single word. He simply walked away without looking back, leaving Lena standing there with mixed emotions swirling inside her. Back in the apartment, Lena narrated everything that had happened to Chloe. Ethan had already left earlier. He claimed he had a few things to take care of and needed some rest afterward. While they were still talking, Lena's phone rang. It was Ethan. "I just got back to the hotel," he said warmly. "I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me tomorrow. I'd really love for us to get to know each other better." A smile spread across Lena's face. "I'd love that." The next day passed by quickly. After work, Lena returned home, took a long warm bath, and got her nails done. Meanwhile, Chloe happily took over makeup duty and spent nearly thirty minutes helping Lena choose the perfect dress. "There," Chloe said proudly after stepping back. "You're
The next morning, Lena woke up to the smell of food. She remained in bed, wondering where the smell was coming from. Then she remembered Ethan had spent the night. A smile appeared on her face. She climbed out of bed, fixed her messy hair, and followed the smell into the kitchen. The sight that greeted her immediately made her laugh. Ethan was standing in front of the stove wearing an apron while flipping pancakes. Lena folded her arms and leaned against the doorway. "I didn't know you could cook." Ethan turned around. The moment he saw her, his eyes widened dramatically. He immediately grabbed a spatula and pointed it at her. "Ladies and gentlemen, please direct your attention to the beautiful woman who has finally graced us with her presence this morning." Lena laughed. "Oh my God." "The woman. The myth. The legend." "Ethan." "The one and only Princess Lena." He took an exaggerated bow. Lena shook her head. "You are ridiculous." "I know." He looked entirely t
Morning came quietly, but Lena woke with a feeling she couldn't understand.For a few seconds, she just lay there, staring at the ceiling. She thought about Jayden.She groaned softly and sat up. “Get a grip,” she muttered under her breath.The house felt lonely.Lena walked downstairs slowly, exp
The next day Lena woke up as she heard her phone ring.Hello, yeah, who is this?"Uhm, are you Miss Lena?" a male voice asked.Yeah... how may I help you?Yesterday we arrested Jadyden Blake for reckless driving while drunk.What! She said as she almost gagged.How? He didn't leave the house, did h
While it was just a simple conversation, his personality confuses her.This version of Jayden didn’t match the one she had seen on the first day; he seemed more like a Playboy type, not a sweet guy who takes a girl out for a cozy date.“You’re quiet; what's wrong?" he said suddenly, stirring his dr
Sleep didn’t come easy. Lena lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as her mind wandered, replaying the events of the day; it replayed in her mind like a stubborn loop. Every time she shut her eyes, she saw him, Jayden. His shirtless body, the confidence that he carries, feels like the world bent t
