Bestfriends and Butterflies Fourteen: KAYDEN
After a few minutes of trying to pacify the raging thoughts in my head, I muster up strength and leave the kitchen, my footsteps the only sound echoing lightly through the walls of the empty corridor.Just as I enter the sitting room, I stumble upon Lisa grabbing a bottle of wine and a glass from the mini bar in the dining area. Her eyes catches mine staring at her in surprise.What is she doing here by this time?"Hey." She calls softly. "You are still up?""Yeah. I just came downstairs to grab a bottle of water from the kitchen." I answer, showing her the bottle of water in my hand.My eyes move to the wine in her hand. It is Chardonnay Red alcoholic wine, and it is already past midnight."What's with the wine?" I find myself asking, pointing to the wine in her hands. "It is already past midnight to get yourself drunk you know."She chuckles a laugh. "I am not trying to get myself drunk Kayden. I am just going to have a little. Besides, you are joining me."I scoff. "And who said I
Bestfriends and Butterflies Fifteen: KAYDEN
I heave a low sigh of relief when Lisa's eyes finally leave my face to stare down at the drink in her hands."You know, the girl you are going to love is going to be one lucky girl Kayden. And you are even a damn good kisser to top the icing on the cake."Damn it! My ears must be kidding me, because what I heard must be a joke. I am already in love with the girl she is talking about. This girl sitting beside me right now is the girl I love. Lisa Collins is the girl I love. The dumb silent confession hits me like a truck, my heart nearly exploding in a mixture of pain and anger. Fuck this! I am just going to tell her right now how I feel about—"Hey babe." I hear Christian's voice behind us, the surprise it jerks into my body sending back the three words rising in my throat back down into my belly. The three words that has pricked and poked at my heart all these years, begging to be free.He bends down and kisses Lisa's forehead. "I have been looking for you all over the house.""Real
Bestfriends and Butterflies Sixteen: LISA
I feel something warm caressing my cheeks, and when I flutter my eyes open, it is to the rays of the morning sun shining into the room and on my face. I groan and turn over to my left side to find Christian's space on the bed empty.Just then, my ears register the sound of running water from the bathroom, and I figure out that he must be in there taking a shower.I yawn, using the back of my hand to cover my mouth as I sit up on the bed. As I rest the back of my head on the headboard of the bed, Christian's marriage proposal to me yesterday comes rushing back into my mind like a tsunami.Something about his proposal does not really make sense. I mean, we have only known each other for like. . . .three weeks. Kissed only twice, which actually felt forceful and blank on my part both times. And also, this relationship with him is not as deep enough for me to even consider marrying him.Marriage is. . . . .BIG. Even if I felt a little bit of erotic love for him, I would still need more ti
Bestfriends and Butterflies Seventeen: LISA
When I enter the kitchen, I stumble back at the intense sight of Sandra and Ethan gripping and pulling and kissing each other's brains out."Oh my God guys!" I groan out, my loud voice startling them out of their make out trance. "Can't you both just do stuffs like this in the privacy of your bedroom?"Sandra adjusts her night dress. Ethan runs his hands over his messy hair, both their faces blushing so deeply.I shake my head and simply walk to the kitchen counter, where I take out a bottle of water. I screw the cover open and take a long gulp before closing back the lid of the bottle.When I turn around, I see them leaving the kitchen, their fingers entwined into each other's hold, their faces so close together as they murmur and giggle to each other.I wish I have what they have. Imagine their temerity to mess around even in the kitchen. Something that I can't even do with the guy I love just a few rooms away from mine.My mind goes back to the little conversation I had with Kayden
Bestfriends and Butterflies Eighteen: KAYDEN
THIRTEEN DAYS LATER. . . . . . .The cool breeze of the air conditioner silently freezing up the temperature of my office is doing nothing to calm the hot tension that my whole body is going through right now.It's been thirteen days of having my brain and body being consumed with work and the pure struggle not to lose my mind over the impatience of trying to wait for Victor's response to my request.He said he will call me when he is ready with his information on Christian, and though I feel like rushing him up for it, the sane part of me definitely knows that it will not be a good idea.'He is a detective Kayden. You should let him do his job.'I hear a knock on my door. When my head lifts from staring nonstop at my phone in my hand, I see Jonathan, the head of the marketing team, walking into my office.I was kind of expecting him though."Here are the documents you requested sir." He says, offering the documents to me. "I also added an extra information about today's stock sale pr

I knock a couple times on Christian's door, my heart still pounding with the unanswered question of why he suddenly called me over.Oh God! Maybe he wants his answer today. How the hell do I tell him that I can't marry him? What do I tell him if he asks me why?I rub my hands together and suck in a deep breath before lifting one of my hands again to knock on the door.Just as my hand makes to connect to the door, the door clicks open and pulls back to reveal Christian standing so handsomely dressed in a red designer's shirt and a pair of black pants with shiny black shoes to match."Hey babe," he coos, giving me a quick kiss on the lips. He offers me his hand and I take it."Is there any special occasion?" I joke, following him as he ushers me into his house."Well, I kind of wanted us to have an in-house date. You know, just the two of us."I smile, but deep down, I am really feeling like I am about to confess my sins to a Pope. I feel this is some kind of setup he made to get my answ
Bestfriends and Butterflies Twenty: KAYDEN
My fists bang on Lisa's door again and again as I yell out her name."Kayden," Victor calls, stopping my hands mid-air as I try to pound them again on the door. "I don't think she is home."I blow out hot air, rubbing my palms down my face. Maybe she went to her office today or probably. . . . . .Oh dear God No.I bring out my phone and begin to dial Lisa's number. Fear rips me inside out when the call goes directly to voicemail.I dial the number again. I nearly scream in rage when the call goes directly to voicemail again.Oh God, what do I do? I do not even know where that asshole Chris—I mean, Tyler lives."Kayden?"Victor's voice slams me back to my senses, fitting like the lost piece in the puzzle.I snap around to face him. "Victor, I am really hoping you do not dash my hopes into pieces, but I believe you know where this Tyler guy lives."He nods. "Sure I do. It is part of the job."I heave out a deep sigh of relief. "Take me there."We hurry back to my car and enter. I allow
Bestfriends and Butterflies Twenty One: LISA
I feel like I am in a weird dark unconscious dream. A nightmare with devious cobwebs and dirty walls and an arid smell that just twists my stomach into painful knots. My eyes feel like they are open, but also feel shut at the same time.The grizzling sensation of something crawling over my leg has me opening my eyes and trying to adjust my tools of vision to see what is happening to my leg. It takes a while before my blurry vision clears, and when it does, I scream at the sight of the huge rat on my leg scratching my skin with its claws. The tremors the scratching sends down my spine nearly paralyses me with fear, yet at the same time, shooting up the adrenaline in my body so high that I fling my leg in the air, watching the black animal fly over to the far end of the dark room. I hear it give out a low squeak as it lands on the floor with a low thud. For a moment, I begin to think that it is dead, but then I watch it move on the floor and within seconds, the animal disappears through
