Forty two: Maniac
One thing I didn't know how to do was to swim. And here was Louella, probably drowning already. What would I do now? Just as Louella was trying to save herself from the water, I was also trying to save myself. Or save us.
"Someone help!" She cried, her voice shaky as she gasped for air.
I tried grasping her arm, but was scared I would make us drown. How would I help her now? I also needed help.
Okay. This was it. I was also going to scream. Maybe if our voices were loud enough, someone would come and help us out.
Helpless, I screamed too, "Help! Somebody help!"
Was keeping my ego better than risking my life? Surely not. But this was extremely embarrassing.

I really hated being in water. I was good at

I wasn't comfortable with Harold having to stalk me this much, but well, he had a point. He had said he had done that because he really needed my and Seth's relationship to grow with so much love. He had said he wanted us to spend some time with each other. He had a point, but if I went to London, what would happen to my work?Seth glared at himself, obviously flustered. I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior, and sighed. There was no point in him being angry at his dad. The old man only wanted to help us grow.But, there was one thing that had been creeping in my head since Harold had spoken. He had said that he knew his son could hardly be committed to one woman, which was why he wanted Seth to get used to me. To be honest, that statement had been bothering me. It was kind of giving me some doubts. Like, what if Seth was doing all this to get something from me? I knew I should trust him, but those who I had trusted in the pa
BILLIONAIRES Forty four: Adventure.
It had been over a year since I had come to London. I knew it had always been a beautiful place, but it felt so much beautiful this time around. The roads suspended a lot of cars, though this was only past six in the morning. It was as if everyone had somewhere to go before the sun rose. This was such a beautiful view from the balcony of my hotel room.I sighed and smiled. But, the thought of Becca, dad and Jan, dashed into my head, literally pulling off the smile on my lips. Now that I wasn't in New York, what was the crazy thing they could do? What if they tried to harm my hard work? Anyways, Erin was over there. I trusted her. And yeah, she knew how to deal with those morons.Reflecting back to all Seth had said at the airport, I squeezed my face. That dude was crazy. But well, I missed him.I had woken up by five, had gotten dressed in a casual black, knee length dress, had slipped on white sandals, had a

Erin•••••I didn't know work could be this hard. When Louella had told me to manage everything around here, I had thought it wouldn't be a big deal. But no, it was more than being a big deal! What was I going to do now?My phone beeped from where it laid. Taking it, I sulked at myself when I saw it was a text from my therapist. Like the frustrated person I was, I dropped the phone, propped my elbows on the table, ran my fingers into my hair."Ugh!" I groaned.This was so annoying. Why did my camping have to be today? Louella had been around all along, but the camping hadn't been available. Now that I was the only one left here, the camping date had to be today. Rachel wasn't around as well.I took my phone, debating with myself on whether or not to tell my therapist to wipe my name off the campers' list. About doing that, I

I burst out laughing, ate the last piece of my meat, as I stared at Seth. I didn't know he was this hilarious."You're gonna make my stomach burst." I threw my head back, holding my bellyHe chuckled. "That's how it works, okay? Don't mind me."Done eating, I wiped off the little stain of meat spice on my lips, sighed. I gestured to the old woman who owned this restaurant to come to us, and she did so. For some reason, as she walked towards us, her eyes narrowed at me. What now?"Hey, my dear." She began packing up the empty plates on the well furnished table in front of us. I liked her English accent. "How're you doing?""I'm fine," I responded, quite uncomfortable.She smiled. "I think you've got it wrong. I mean, not like you've done anything bad. But see, your shirt says "like charges attract". I'm an illiterate, but my daughter in colle

Erin•••••This camping was going to be so much fun. It was already three in the afternoon, and I was more than ready to enjoy myself. First, it would be fun to meet a bunch of new people. Second, I loved trekking, which meant this camping would satisfy me to the peak.I tied my hair in a bun, smiled. Glimpsing at the jean shorts and black shirt I was wearing, I smiled. I knew I was pretty. Walking to my travelling bag, I grabbed the white sneakers I had brought, slipped them on, and sighed. All that was left was to package my backpack. And, I was able to do that in only a few minutes.Now, I was set to leave.I made my way out of the tent after slinging the backpack over my shoulder. A grin formed on my lips the moment I stepped out. I inhaled the coolness of the air around me, shutting my eyes. I had had a long year dealing with so many emotional br
BILLIONAIRES Forty eight: My Love.
The moon shone so bright tonight, being a little source of light in the balcony of Seth's hotel room. I turned to Seth who laid beside me on this long, love-shaped bed, smiled at him. The dim light on the ceiling of this balcony, outlined his pointed nose, striked on his lips, making the small smile on his lips visible. Seeing him smile, I smiled even more.Due to the fun we had had today, I had fallen for him even more. At this point, I was starting to wish that our relationship would last forever. I fully knew that good things never lasted for too long, but seriously, this good relationship needed to last for long. It was really making me happy."Why are you smiling?" I took his hand, intertwined our fingers in each other.He squirmed his neck to look at me. "Cause I'm happy. Haven't had this great amount of fun in a while.""Me too." I pecked the back of his hand.&n

Celina•••••••••This was getting too hard for me. This was ruining my emotional sense. This was affecting my mental health.I stared at the glass of Scotch in my hand, smirked at it because I didn't want to cry. Tears were in my eyes, but I wasn't going to cry. Yes, this was an obsession, but who cared?My life was getting miserable. He had been gone for three days, but hadn't taken time to send me a call. About four or five months ago, he had paid attention to no one but me. He had never lived a day without speaking with me.Enraged, feeling like stabbing something or someone, I threw my glass of Scotch against the floor, leaped from my seat, panting hard like an angry lion.Of course, this wasn't the first time Seth would be with a woman, but this time around, he had truly fallen for her. If he hadn't truly

Erin•••••It was time for another trekking adventure. This was day three, and all through this camping, I had been having so much fun. Oh, well, not as much fun as I had expected, which was because Jerome felt some kind of hatred for Fred, and had been kind of acting weirdly towards him. Well, did I care? No, I didn't. Or, maybe I did.The moment we all scattered into our routes, I took a deep breath. I was a bit nervous. First, being alone with Fred wasn't as comfortable as I had thought it would be. Second, from time to time, I had been catching a glimpse of Jerome. How weird was it to stay in the same environment with my ex-boyfriend and the man I liked?When I noticed Jerome walking towards Fred and I, I cleared my throat, raised my neck up to look at the tall trees above our heads. "This route seems more pretty than the previous ones," I
