“so??? who is he??? I need details babe? Who is this Mr. that has caught my baby’s eyes?” Diana said grinning from ear to ear.

“well I didn’t get his name, I only know his surname, Fernandez” Diana pouted after hearing what Lily said but her excitement came up quickly again and asked her how she met him. Lily said she saw him on her way home last night, but she left out the rejection part and the daring thing she did.

“he’s really really handsome. He should be a business man; I wonder what kind of business he’s into though.”

“wow, I really want to know who this guy is because in all my years of knowing you, this is the first time you’re saying a guy is handsome, might I add the really really handsome part?”

“serious?”

“are you for real? You have never cared about men before, you don’t even regard them, they could literally be in front of you and you wouldn’t notice them.” Diana said and her eyes sparked with sudden mischief “so?? what are you going to do about the really really handsome Mr. Fernandez?”

Lily held her bottle of water and sighed, she looked as though she was rethinking about some choices in her head, while Diana continued to look at Lily with intense excitement.

“I want to date him”

“wow” Diana was lost for words for a seconds due to the shock. After a minute a huge smiled widened across her face.

“okay girl, my baby wants to date” Diana said as she wiped the invisible tears off her eyes. She was like a happy mother.

“I really want him to be my boyfriend” Diana smile was still broad, but the shock was still evident in her eyes. “so I want you to help me ou-”

“baby girllll… don’t worry about it, I’ll dress you up so perfectly you’ll be the most gorgeous lady on this planet. Trust me, just leave it to me”

“but the problem is…. How will I see him again” Lily said deflated and pouted her lips. Diana laughed

“baby girl, you have an FBI agent as a friend, you’ll see him again trust me” Diana said and immediately brought out her phone. Diana requested for the business card Lily found and did her search for him.

“found him!” Diana said, her face glowing with the bliss of a carefree child.

“how’s that even possible” Lily said, her face beaming with joy, as she grabbed Diana’s phone to see for herself. Apparently, Diana really found some information about Mr. Fernandez, his secretary, and the clubs he normally goes to every weekend. It was left for Lily to decide how she’d meet him ‘accidentally’.

After their talk, Lily told Diana that she would tell her once she decided to meet him. Diana offered to help her out but Lily told her she would do it herself which of course, made Diana happy.

“okay, just call me if you need help with anything okay, remember baby girl, I am one call away, and your outfit? Leave it to me, you wouldn’t even do anything and you’ll collect men like Pokémon’s” Diana promised before they parted ways.

Lily didn’t tell Diana that he was a heartless and cold hearted man, she omitted the part where he said no to her, the part where he also degraded her, and she didn’t tell Diana that he was a Dangerous man either because if she Diana found out about it, she would be so against it. Diana had always been protective of her so she could already predict her reaction if she found out about the kind of man she had chosen.

It was dark when she reached home. She had dinner and once in her room, she took the business card from her bag. She stared at the name and looked at the number below and typed it on her phone.

    Lily still couldn’t understand what kind of spirit possessed her to do what she did earlier when everything replayed in her head. Was she that desperate? She never thought of doing that, she always imagined that it’ll be a guy that would make the first move. how she got the bravery she didn’t know, what shocked her more was when she sacrificed herself like a sacrificial lamb to him.“Then let me burn!” she winced, her face tightened at the memory of what happened earlier. Lily was aware she had finally lost her wits, but for an odd and fond reason she didn’t regret it and instead of withdrawing she felt drawn to him more. She suddenly felt motivated too, like a little bit of hope got lit in her heart.He clearly wouldn’t love her back, and although she was attracted to him, she couldn’t imagine loving a cold and heartless man. He obviously looked like someone whose heart was made of stone. She had always imagined loving a man who lit the room with warmth, his smile as bright as the su

  • Burning for you   CHAPTER 3

    Lily’s apartment was twenty minutes away and instead of taking a cab, she decided to walk, so she could untangle the webs that spiraled in her head.She was a twenty-three-year-old who never had a boyfriend. She was an only child, born and brought up in an abusive home, where physical abused was deemed normal and emotional and verbal abuse were the truth, other substitutions of the beatings she faced on a nearly daily basis. It was seen as a way to train a child so the child wouldn’t go astray. These kinds of abuse were normal in her neighborhood which was why her neighbors turned a deaf ear to her deafening screams whenever her dad gave her an excruciating beating, it was why no one cared to stop her mother from raining curses and insults on her.And although being an only child has its pros, she mostly saw the cons. Her only ‘family’ were her mother and father. Her other family members; cousins, aunts and uncles from both sides never gave a damn about her wellbeing, so she had to pa

    Lily swallowed at that confession.‘what the hell are you doing?’ a voice echoed in her head. Was she going to regret what she said? probably. Maybe it was the little coffee she sipped before leaving work that made her feel bold, it would totally make sense if she was crazy but no, she was perfectly sane and rational.Although she was responsible for most of her life decisions ever since she left there, she had never been so bold to do something like this.The man looked back with furrowed brows, disbelief drenched his face, another emotion she saw on his face asides interest, amusement, coldness and indifference. He sighed, his disbelief was replaced with wariness, as though he was afraid of something, but before Lily could know it was wariness, his face became void of emotions.“brown, what’s your name again?” he asked“Lily… Lily Lai”“Lily...” he said her name so softly as he tucked her hair behind her ear, her name sounded so nice as it rolled off his lips. He looked at her again

    “Fernandez, please, I beg, don’t do this to me” a woman’s whimpering voice resounded in the dimly lit alley, halting Lily, not just from her thoughts but her next step.She was on her way home after a long day of attending to customers and endless spills of coffee on her blue shirt, but who would have guessed she would witness an intriguing moment in this alley where no one dared to stay longer than 10 minutes due to the crime rates here.“I love you, please don’t do this to me” the woman pleaded again as tears streamed down her face without any care in the world.“I beg your pardon?” Lily heard a cold, yet soothing voice which was laced with threats that sent chills down her spine even though the question wasn’t aimed at her. she hid behind a huge flowerpot so no one could see her and to get a better view of the whole situation.“I’m in love with you” Lily heard the woman’s voice again, “I’m madly in love with you, I can’t get you out of my head no matter how hard I try!” the woman b
