Chapter 8 “WOAH, WE were all waiting for you. What took you so long to come down?” Jessile said the moment we went to the buffet area. They were all sitting and were looking at us with scrutinizing eyes. I snorted. I know what’s on their mind. One look at their faces, and I know they are thinking that Jeremy and I had an afternoon sex. What the hell. “Well, we argued for a moment, okay?” I said and let out a sigh. Heziah’s eyes roamed around my neck and I almost rolled my eyes. Heck, this bitch is probably checking for any sign of hickeys. The others are still looking at us with no expression on their faces, probably not believing what I just said. That made me feel frustrated. What? Do they think I am that crazy to have sex with Jeremy, knowing that he’s sane as fuck? “Seriously, stop giving us those kinds of stares. We just woke up late and argued about the alarm clock. That’s all,” Jeremy said with conviction which made me breathe out a sigh of relief. Good thing th
Chapter 9 “WHAT. . . WHAT do you mean?” I gulped hard. I could hear Jeremy’s heavy breathing and when his hands touched my back, the coldness of lotion made me blink. But I could still feel how hot his palms are. He scattered the lotion all over my back, slowly and sensually, and my heart pounded. I could hear it ringing in my ears, pounding against my ribcage, like I was running endlessly in a middle of nowhere with no plan to stop. I swallowed hard when he scattered it on the sides of my waist, gently caressing my curves. Shit. What the fuck is he doing? “J-Jem.” I held his hand to stop him and luckily, he did. I breathe out a sigh of relief and tried to feel him behind me. His breathing is still heavy and unsteady. “Y-You told me y-you will never fuck me.” I licked my lips when I felt my throat ran dry. I heard him hold his breath as if my statement surprised the hell out of him. He went silent for a moment and I don’t know what I should feel, especially whe
Chapter 10 MY MOUTH hang open in awe when we got inside the Yamashita’s Cave. The cave was small and was very narrow, clearly bad for claustrophobic people. The stalactites are low and it is hanging directly above our head but its length are enough for us to walk around. We saw a second opening. There was an opening on the wall where the light passes through, making the cave glow golden as if there’s a lot of golden treasures in there. I gasped. “Woah, shit,” I heard Heziah muttered and took some pictures. Flashes of camera filled the cave and they echoed. I took a picture of the opening, too. No wonder why it’s called Yamashita’s Cave. I turned to Jeremy. “Take a picture of me.” I gave him my camera and he immediately took it. We went inside the second opening while the others are still busy taking a pictures at the first. I went in front of the opening on the wall and took a step backwards. I looked at Jeremy. “The lighting looks good here.” He stood beside the o
Chapter 11 MY EYES are wide open. I kept on looking at my phone, silently hoping that Jeremy would send me a message but it didn’t happen. He didn’t send me a message, not even one. And why would he? I see no reason for him to do so, and that’s why I so hate myself for waiting for his message even though I know it won’t happen! I mean, he’s fucking someone, duh? He can’t be having sex while still on phone. “Fuck!” I gripped the bun of my hair real tight and looked at the clock. It’s already 1:34 A.M. It’s time to sleep. Jeremy’s probably sleeping in the room of the whore he fucked. He’s sleeping, and here I am, wide awake. Damn, bitch. Don’t expect him to sleep beside you because he won’t. And it would be very disgusting if he sleeps with you after fucking someone. That thought was meant to calm my senses, but it heightened them even more! Fuck! I look like a martyr wife, waiting for her cheating husband to come. And I don’t like this shit. Why am I w
Chapter 12 “I’M JUST kidding,” he told me after a moment of silence and chuckled. I slowly let out the breath I was holding and made a face. Damn him! “Oh, shut up, Jeremy. Were you trying to give me a heart attack?” I raised an eyebrow at him and dramatically put my hand on my chest. “Why? Did I make your heart beat fast?” My eyes widened as my brows furrowed. His voice was so serious and it’s kind of making me feel. . . anxious, afraid he finally noticed what I felt for him. I acted disgusted and acted like I was vomitting. I rolled my eyes at him. “Dream on! You made my heart beat fast but not in a romantic way! I can’t imagine being in a relationship with you!” Jeremy just chuckled and pinched the tip of my nose but I immediately shoved his hand away and showed him my fist. He finally stopped teasing me when we saw Ayden and Frostine finally emerged from the elevator. Beside me, I heard Heziah let out a sigh of relief. “Finally. I’m so fucking hungr
Chapter 13 TWO DAYS have passed since we went to Sumilon Island. Everything was going well, except for the fact that my bitches are having a hard time looking for a ‘fling’. They urged me to try Tinder, but I didn’t and eventually, we all stopped looking for one. Aside from the fact that I am busy, I also think that I am still not ready for those kinds of shitness. “Ma’am, we have to do two surgeries tomorrow on Peachy and Hachiko,” my assistant, Ashley, reminded me. I nodded at her and gave her a smile. “Thanks, Ash.” I stood up from my seat and looked at the time. It’s already 11:23 in the morning. 27 minutes more and we will finally have our lunch break. I turned to Ashley. “I’ll just check them.” She nodded and sat on the sofa while I walked towards the infirmary. Twelve set of eyes looked at me and their tails wagged the moment I entered which made me smile. Six pets have been admitted to my clinic. The other two will undergo a surgery tomorrow. “Peachy.” I walk
Chapter 14 “I WILL be very busy starting tomorrow,” I told Jeremy as we walked towards the cafeteria. Ashley and I were already done packing the treats. It’s ready for tomorrow. Jeremy pressed my arm lightly. His arm is wrapped around my shoulder, as usual. “Is it about the Pets’ Day?” he asked. We went inside the cafeteria and looked at the available foods. I nodded at him. “Yes. I will be very busy for three days.” I gave the lady my order and played with the hem of my pink ruffled blouse as I waited for my order. “And that means? We won’t be eating lunch together?” Jeremy asked after he placed his order and looked at me. I nodded at him and I could see disappointment in his eyes. I didn’t put any meaning to what I saw because Jeremy and I had always been together every time we eat lunch. “That’s sad. I guess, I’ll be eating alone in my office, then.” He lets out a sigh. We got the tray which contained the food that we ordered and began to find a table. We chose t
Chapter 15 “AH, I missed this.” Jeremy emptied his glass again. I averted my gaze and looked at the movie. The first day of Pets’ Day happened a while ago and after we finished, Jeremy fetched me and brought me to his condo, saying he needed someone to accompany him in drinking. We’re watching a movie as we drink, but seems like I’m the only one who’s watching it. The place is dark, and the only source of light was the light coming from the T.V. “Drink, Jann.” His voice is kind of slurred and he’s clearly drunk. I just gave him a nod and looked at the movie again. To be honest, I don’t really understand what’s going on in the film because my mind is too occupied. And yes, it’s Jeremy, again, who’s making my mind so full. I know what will happen after this, after I try to put him to sleep. We will be making love—no, scratch that shit. We will fuck. Okay, that’s the right term. I let out a deep sigh and tried to calm my mind. I turned to Jeremy and my gaze dropped on h
