I searched around with my eyes for Mr Kimber, honestly, I was missing him already. It's been days since he last showed up here. I was beginning to wonder if he had quitted coming.Honestly, he's my second reason why I am always eager to come here. But since he doesn't show up again, I feel like I'm all alone.I walked out of the stage, heading to my usual place to waste the rest of my time. The bartender. He served me my usual non-alcoholic wine which I busily sipped slowly. "What about the young gentleman?" He asked."What?" I asked, pretending not to have heard what he said."The young gentleman, what about him?" He repeated.That's actually what I have been thinking, I really don't know why he hasn't been showing up since the night I met with Mr Ramirez. I don't know, but it seems like he must have heard about my meeting with Mr Ramirez.Could it be that our previous conversation at the dinner would end up in vain? Well, that's only if he does love Camila."I don't know, I haven't
I felt my heart skip in excitement as I slowly turned my head to his direction. I couldn't breath, it's like the atmosphere is at a standstill. Just the devil I was talking about, he's definitely standing right beside me with the same 'oh, fucking kill me' smile.My hormones were burning, tempting me to jump into his arms and hug him. To kiss those beautiful lips and admit how much I missed him. But I couldn't, at least not yet."Wasn't expecting you tonight." I said, trying to hide how happy I am to see him."Wasn't expecting to come either." He said, sitting on the long stool beside mine. "So, what made you?""A friend."I didn't want to go so deep into the conversation, I nodded my head. "That must be a good friend, I'd say."He just smiled. The bartender served us two glasses of wine as ordered. "It's been a long time." He started, breaking the brief silence."Yeah," We stared at each other for what seemed like minutes, my eyes not leaving his, and his not leaving mine. It feels
"Delilah! Delilah!" I heard a familiar voice call my name. "Delilah!"I flinched, returning back to reality only to see Abby staring awkwardly at me. What am I doing here! I looked at my shirt, only to see it in order. "Oh no!" I gasped. It wasn't torn, it was perfectly fine on me. Could it be…? Hold on, does it mean we didn't kiss? Was I actually thinking of all that stuff happening? Could it be that our conversation ended on good night?Abby flicked her fingers at me. "Hello? Are you listening to me?" Abby said, with her eyes widened."What happened?""What happened?" She asked back. "Am I supposed to answer that? I think I should be the one asking you that. I've been calling your name for twenty minutes now, gosh! I can't believe you're such a living dead." She walked to the fridge, "Are your parents aware you're here?" She asked."I'll talk to them." I said, collapsing on one of the sofas. I still can't believe I had gone this far to imagine Mr Kimber kissing me. I touched my lip
"Miss Guzman, I'll need you to turn off your phone now!" Mr Mayor said."I'm sorry, sir." I apologized, turning my phone off.The class was becoming so boring and lengthy. Minutes were turning to hours and honestly, I can't wait for the lecture to be over already. This man can never make his class conducive for learning, especially for people like me.Finally, the fucking bell rung. I don't really know but I guess I was one of the first students to leave the class. Yeah, that's how unserious students do. We leave the class before any one else.I rushed out of Mr. Mayor's class after hours of his teaching, my heart pounding with curiosity about why Mrs. Mills' had called me. Quickly, I dialed Mrs. Mills' number as I walked briskly, hoping for answers. Mrs. Mills answered, and I didn't waste time to ask her why she had called me during Mr. Mayor's class. Mrs. Mills hesitated for a moment before revealing that Mr. Kimber had requested to speak with me urgently.Intrigued by Mr. Kimber's
"And... I also appreciate the fact that you've been so nice to me."Mr Kimber hums, nodding as he starts taking slow steps towards me and I immediately walk backward.As he gets closer, he tilts his head curiously, a menacing look to his captivating green eyes. “Really now? Well tell me, what exactly gave you the impression I was nice darling?’'He stopped a few inches from me, and I instinctively took one step back, becoming more nervous than I already am. "I don’t know.'’ I stutter, shrugging my shoulders. "I just feel like you've been nice to me lately."He closes the gap between us, raising his brow a bit high. He tucks his finger under the strap of my dress, moving his finger back and forth underneath it as he watches thoughtfully."Nice? Is that what you'd call what happened the last time I saw you?” Memories flood into my mind of Mr Kimber grabbing my wrist and pulling me close to himself. The soft touch of his lips on mine, kissing me over every part of my skin.I was beginni
I was giving him this look that actually asked if he was for real when he said that. How is that even possible? Like, saying a yes to him is probably gonna get me into my death roll. I might end up losing Mr Kimber in the process.What if he's the kind who hates liars? Yes, my life is all about lies and there's nothing I can do about it.Wearing this same makeup all the time just to cover up isn't gonna save my ass forever. Plus, I'm a student okay, I can't quit school all for some mind-blowing job with an eye catching salary."Thanks, but... I'll just stick to this job instead.""I won't force you."Then don't ask. I mentally said.The rest of the ride was a quiet one. When we got to Abby's apartment, I wasn't worried about Mr Kimber any more, I was more worried about what to tell Abby, to make her stop assuming me as some kinda dirty girl even if I really am a dirty bad girl."Thanks for the ride, good night." I said, opening the door."Why do I feel like we've met some where?" He s
After the class, I followed her to her office. This is almost like the tenth time I have been called into a lecturer's office. I don't want any more detention, I mean... it obviously is too much these days."Shut the door properly." She said strictly, heading towards her desk. She carefully sat on her chair, "So, you've grown wings so soon, huh?" She asked and I stared bluntly at her."I'm talking to a human being and not an animal." She yelled. "I ordered every phone to be turned off yet, you went ahead pressing yours. What were you trying to prove? That I have no right to ask you to drop your phone or what?"She was beginning to sound more like my mom and I hated it. I hated to be talked to like a kid. "I'm sorry, ma'am." I said, not as if it actually came from my heart, but I only wanted her to see that I wasn't actually growing wings like she had said.Moreover, I wanted to get the hell out of her as soon as possible."I will take your apology this time, but when you play stubborn
I stepped into the familiar building and I just can't stop admiring its beauty. Mom was walking ahead of me but suddenly stopped. I wasn't looking so I mistakenly bumped her. "Ouch.""Sorry." She grinned. "You'll have to meet the makeup artist to get you looking good."I raised an eyebrow at her. Seriously? Again?"Mom, thanks but I'm good with the slight makeup.""Delilah...""I don't need an extra chemical on my face to prove that. You also said it yourself before we left the house, you said I was looking good." I reminded her."I want you to look more than good this time.""Mom, please... for now, let me be myself." I said, as a matter of fact. I was frustrated by her attitude. But I know why she is doing this, she indirectly wants me to get the attention of her co-male staff and other male guests invited.But that's okay, I ain't interested in any of them. My main aim of accepting the invitation was because of Mr Kimber, I was going to meet him personally in Delilah's form. Thoug
