Flashback...
I walk into the bar filled with colorful smokes, people chattering, loud music that dominates the atmosphere and oh! It's Cheap thrills by Sia that is being played in the background. I looked around and saw a woman crying in the corner, a group of men and women laughing, heavy drinkers and guys among my age. I giggled as I rest my hands on the cold counter table of this bar. I planned to have a drink of two or more and as the night goes on, I'll be more comfortable and intoxicated. I'll let the noise of this place wash the pain away!
Why am I even here? Well, I'm giving myself a chance to cry, a good cry to forget Blake's betrayal. My damn ex boyfriend who betrayed me. How dare he cheat on me! Is it because I can’t give him his needs as a man? He had sex with another girl and he actually sent the video to me? What did he think? That he is the only man in the world? How narrow-minded. I drank the last glass of tequila and asked for another.
It's time for me to move on, he's not a loss and at least now I know what to do next. A few minutes later, I took a few more glasses of tequila and took a sip, feeling the alcohol in my throat. If only alcohol can heal the wound in my heart, I might drown myself in it.
Although I’m starting to feel dizzy, I still tried to stand up. Why did the waiter became two? Was it just one before? And besides, why does it look like its nose has widened and it seems like a board hit its wide forehead? Ah maybe I'm just drunk.
I was walking towards the rest room when something suddenly hit my weak body hard. In my annoyance, I cursed him and just passed the young man. When I got to CR, I immediately washed and looked at myself. This is the last time I will cry because of that idiot!
After I fixed myself, I went back to my place. Maybe I'll just book a cab to get home. Hey, why do I have to go through this?
"Hey, want to dance?" I was startled when suddenly someone whispered in my ear. The heat of his fragrant breath was terrifying, its smell mixed with wine and mint. I bit my lower lips, I looked at him, even though my vision was doubled, I couldn't deny that he was handsome, and maybe it was the effect of the alcohol that made me startle. But I'm okay, I am Lily Clarks and from now on I will be happy.
"Sure," and let me towards the crowd and placed my hand on his hard chest there.
"You cried? Let me guess. Broken hearted?" I turned and looked away. He grabbed my waist causing my heart to beat faster. "I can hear your heart," the man grinned and laughed softly. He placed his finger on my chin and raised it, "Look at me.”
My heart is now pounding very fast and I can almost hear it. "Your dress suits your shape," he said and he winked.
"Likewise," I answered.
We're in the middle of our dance when suddenly the music changes. It became erotic and it felt so right. His arms tightened around my waist as our body moved in rhythm. He pulled me closer to him and it was automatic that I wrapped my arms around his nape. His touch is electrifying that sends shivers down my spine. I am desperate to kiss his red sexy lips.
I don't know that I've been staring at his face for a few minutes, those chocolate eyes with fluttering eyelashes, aristocratic nose, thick eyebrows, and oh those perfect jaw line and chiseled chin. I am drooling he is the chiseled features of a male model.
"Stop examining my face," he chuckled. I was embarrassed to smile at him. I have to play it cool. He shouldn't know that I'm ashamed of what I did. "You look so fucking hot," his voice was hoarse. I could feel his hands trailed down my legs up to my seat he slapped it with gentle and smoothed it.
I moaned subtly against the back of his neck. He adjusted my height bringing my face close to his. That's how much I was shocked by what he did next.
Oh my hell! His lips crashed against mine!
Dang! It's hot!
He's now spanking my buttocks in a way that doesn't hurt, he lingers on me, it got me so high and I can't fuckin' breath. I don't how but we ended up in the dark part of the bar. By doing those stuff I suddenly felt a strange sensation that I had never felt before.
My hands start traveling slowly inside his shirt.
Oh my goodness! His abs are all hard!
I was startled to feel his hot breath near my ear, he licked my earlobes and kissed my neck, sucking it.
I close my eyes at the sensation he makes me feel. Damn he is a good kisser, he started unbuttoning my dress, his hands traveling in every part of my body whispering words that make me anticipate for more.
"Not here babe," then he smirked.
The next thing I knew, I was in a room with the stranger, having a passionate night with him. When I woke up the next morning, I found myself beside the man I met in the bar. I hurriedly got my clothes scattered on the floor without making a single noise to avoid the man from waking up. I'm too embarrassed for what I've done and the only thing I wanted was to run away and forget everything that transpired between us that night. It was a mistake I'd rather bury in my memories.
But seems like fate is so cruel to me and now I have to face the consequence of the disaster I brought upon myself.
Edmund’s POV Love is an endless battle between choices and their consequences. Just one wrong move and you will lose everything. One misunderstanding and it's over. I stared at my phone's screen. I used to be too lazy to touch it, now I'm just grinning like an idiot because of its beautiful wallpaper. My wife and daughter. Right. This is what you call heaven. "So what do you think of our proposal Mr. Moriarty?” I was startled when the person in front of me suddenly spoke. I sat up straight because she was staring at me, noticing that I wasn’t listening. I sipped my wine. A bit unethical but I had no choice but to join her here at a French restaurant inside the hotel. I canceled our meeting last time because I was working from home and if I were to work, I would be too busy to insert the conversation with Mocha into the schedule. Her family's hotel is one of the biggest and we can't deny the fact that they make millions annually but they are not doing well these days. I only s
When I got up the next day, I was shocked. For a brief moment I wished that everything last night was just a dream, a nightmare perhaps. But I know it wasn’t. It was all real. The door opened suddenly and I was still blinking when I entered there as the people inside my mind followed one another. Kendria's hair is done, it looks like Edmund has taken a bath as well, wearing a white v-neck shirt. It was close to the chest and stomach so that every movement made his muscles scream. I immediately looked away when our eyes met. "Mimi! Breakfast in bed!" Kendi kindly stated. The little girl climbed onto the bed and was still jumping on it. "Don’t jump sweetie, the food will spill." I was still shocked when I heard Edmund’s voice. It was a sweet yet authoritative thing that made Kendria obey. She stopped jumping and sat on the bed facing me with a smile. "What is that?" I pointed to the bed tray that Edmund was carrying. And he wasn't alone, behind him was Edna with more food. "G
In my head I imagined this a couple of times, we are in a fancy restaurant wearing formal clothes then I'll introduce Edmund to our daughter. Not like this, it's the middle of the night, it's storming outside and Edmund's mood is worse than the weather. Deep inside me I know that even though I'm not ready, it had occurred to me before to introduce the father and daughter to each other that's why I was led by fear. I don't want another rejection. I am afraid not only of the possible pain I will feel but also of the effect it will have on Kendria. Maybe I was selfish. Maybe I was a coward. Maybe I overreacted. But God knows I only want the best for Kendi. Because what if Edmund doesn't want to? What if he doesn't accept it? What if he doubts? Up until now he lives like a bachelor, jumping from one woman to another, is he ready to be a father? "Dada... sleepy..." Ken said in a small voice and yawned. A small smile crept on Edmund’s face. Still carrying Kendria, he stood up not even
I looked at him then took another step towards the door but before I could open it, Edmund was already there. "I can open it, I'm not disabled," I promised flatly. I heard him chuckle but he didn't say a thing. I went inside and folded the umbrella before facing him. "Go home Edmund, I'm not joking even if it's stormy I'll drag you to security- what are you smiling about? You find this funny?" He smiled and shook his head. "Even if your nose is smoking from irritation, you're still beautiful." My heart skipped a beat then it went back, thrice than it's normal bear. "Thank you for the concern but don't be too concerned with me, I am strong but you are fragile." "Stop me with your brats! I said without being concerned- wait you're shivering! I told you to go home!" "But I'm cold and I might get cold because I've been soaked in the rain for a while," he said. Because the light inside the house was on, I could clearly see him screaming suddenly at the sudden blowing of a strong
I rolled my eyes for the nth time. I've been in and out of the office a few times because I can't get home. Edmund is watching me like a crazy stalker.I'm already irritated because I can't go home, he will surely follow. Kendria is always waiting in the doorway, surely one look will tell her.And I won't let that happen. Over my drop dead gorgeous, sexy, awesome, brilliant, and all the good praises bodyI was thrown back in my swivel chair when I heard three consecutive knocks from the closed door."It's open! Push the door," I answered loudly.Next, Dallia's strange face appeared there. I can see that he has changed his clothes because he is no longer wearing the baby pink staff uniform."Miss? We've closed the cafe, are you going to stay?" he asked.Oh shit! Did I sleep?"N-No Dallia, are you still cleaning the kitchen?" I asked confused."Rara is also finishing."I nodded while gathering my things.I put back on the blazer I was wearing when I came in, covering the sweetheart neck
Is it possible for a person to forget in just a short period of time? I think it depends on the situation because right now the only thing I want is to get away from him."Thank you," I said in a flat tone before snatching the napkin pack out of his hand.I walked away pushing the grocery cart like nothing happened."What? That's it?" he asked while still following me.I rolled my eyes and pretended like I heard nothing.My eyes widened when I saw my daughter Ken, happily hopping in the grocery's entrance. Behind him is Erna carrying a big teddy bear."Lily-""You know what? I changed my mind..." I nervously glanced at his back trying to find some escape. "Just help me, I forgot something at the end. Can you take it? My foot hurts.""Where?" he asked eagerly."Uhm... In the detergent powder section, you can choose any brand as long as it's maroon in color, the dark one right? It's at the end," I flashed a smile.His eyes widened like he's shocked.I simply looked for Kendria again, go
