Dangerous Heartbeats 21- Unexpected guest II
♡ Skylar ♡"Oh Skylar," Mr Jun called, turning his attention to me. My lips curved into my famous fake, sweet smile as I nodded. "It's so nice to finally meet you," I replied softly, my eyes not moving away from his. I noticed how he shifted uncomfortably under my gaze before laughing awkwardly. He took his eyes off me. I smirked, looking down at my plate."So, let's eat?" Dad called with a light chuckle."Yes," Mom added, and the room fell silent. The sound of cutleries hitting against the ceramic plates pierced into the silence once in a while.Soon, Dad broke the awkward silence and started talking with Mr. Jun about something I didn't care to listen to. Every other person in the room was involved in their conversation, but I wasn't because I was too focused on someone. The so-called owner of Jun's Pharmaceuticals. I needed a way to start a conversation and shove words into his mouth. "So Skylar, what do you think of Jake?" "Skylar!"I flinched, the fork almost slipping out of m
Dangerous Heartbeats 22 - Midnight Texts
♡ Skylar ♡I stared at the text until it disappeared from the screen.Why was he suddenly texting me at 1 a.m.? I turned to lie on my side, pulling down the notification bar on my phone. I clicked on his text. My fingers hovered above the keyboard as I thought of what to say. Since our encounter at the mountain, we hadn't talked, and I think I kind of made him angry."Wait. Why am I even thinking of what to say? It's Alfredo Miller. I shouldn't be texting him at all. " I hit the send button. I watched as the three dots indicating he was typing appeared, then disappeared and appeared again. Finally, he sent the text. I rolled my eyes. I snickered, curling my toes under the blanket. He had read the text before I could think of deleting it. Now I sounded like I really did think of all his words
Dangerous Heartbeats 23 - Miller's Group
♡ Alfred ♡"If we can have the Sanders stay at our hotel for the weekend, it might have a good impact on our sales in the hotel."I sighed, tapping my feet on the floor."Is there any information on where they'll be staying?""None, I'm aware of," April replied. "You should know these things! It's your job!" I snapped, turning around to glare at her. She lowered her head, avoiding my gaze."I'm sorry, sir,"I scoffed and turned away from her, my eyes settling on the elevator door."Get any information you can find and get back to me by tomorrow,""Yes, sir."My phone buzzed as I stepped out of the elevator. It was from Xander. I sent the text and clicked on Skylar's name. She hadn't replied to my text.What exactly was she so mad about?Putting my phone into my pants pocket, I headed to my office. I pulled open the door and walked in."Oh, look who's he
Dangerous Heartbeats 24 - Just a little tipsy
♡ Skylar ♡I got out of my car. Gripping my bag tight, I slammed my car's door shut. I turned around, my eyes stopping on the building in front of me. Gold-Kard was peeking out from the rooftops in huge sparkly red letters. I reached for my phone in my bag and dialed Catherine's number immediately. She answered the call on the first ring."Hey babes," she yelled over the loud music. I blocked out my other ear at how loud she was."I'm about to come in, where are you?""Uh by the counter, you'll see me once you get there, okay? It's so loud in here","What did you say?" She yelled.She could have just stood up from where she was.Sighing in irritation, I nodded as though she could see me."Okay, I'm heading in now"I returned the phone to my bag and zipped it up before walking up to the entrance. One hour should be enough to build the foundation for her trust and I'm getting my ass out of this place.The interior was nothing like the outside. Now I understand why she was yelling like

♡ Skylar ♡Beep. Beep. Beep.The incessant, increasingly annoying sound of whatever it was, slowly brought me awake. I turned around in my bed, pulling the blankets with me as I reached out for my phone. The phone continued to ring as I searched for it on the table, still groggy from sleep, My head hurt like hell, my hand suddenly hit something and it came crashing to the floor.The sound had all iota of sleep disappearing from me and I sat up. I stared down at the shattered picture frame of Aurora and sighed.Beep. Beep. Beep.Fucking stupid alarm. I grabbed my phone and turned it off immediately. Brushing my scattered hair back, I pulled away the comforters and got on my feet.The throbbing pain in my head increased and a wince escaped my lips as I soothed my temples with my finger.How the hell did I get home last night? I remember getting wasted and not finding Catherine. Wasn't it suspicious that she disappeared all of a sudden? How did I even get so drunk easily? If the bitch had
Dangerous Heartbeats 26 - Suite issues
♡ Alfred ♡"What do you mean by only one suite?" Skylar snapped."Well, these days our rooms are usually sold out, and you're only lucky if you make a reservation early.""I'm sorry ma'am" the lady added, bowing slightly. "It's fine, we'll take the suite. Check us in, please. " I smiled at her, and she nodded, turning towards her laptop.Skylar grabbed my arms and turned me to look at her. "Are you insane? I'm not staying in the same room as you. ""Let's just find another hotel or better still find a ride home."I stared at her, a vacuous look on."We can't. It's past eight, and besides, I'm famished,""Finding another hotel is like an hour's journey, and trust me, Amore, I'm not ready to walk that long,"Her lips parted as she stared at me in disbelief and frustration. She turned sideways, running her fingers through her hair while muttering something inaudibly."Sir," the lady called.I winked at Skylar and turned back to the lady."Room 192, floor 5" I nodded, grabbed the keys,
Dangerous Heartbeats 27 - My girl
The next morning...♡ Skylar ♡I had woken up a few hours earlier because once again, I couldn't sleep. I was sure I already had eye bags from lack of sleep and even crying myself to bed yesterday. Yeah, the thought of getting over with my past was just an illusion. 'Honestly, I'm trying, but it's hard when everything he does sparks an emotion in me, and I become a mess again and again. It's not love, I'm just hurt.'Anyway, I took my bath, and thanks to the go-to mini makeup kit I carry in my handbag, I applied enough powder to hopefully try to conceal my dark eyes. I let my hair fall to my shoulder instead of my usual ponytail and then slipped into the perfect fitted pantsuit Alfred had bought. It was a perfect fit. I neatly folded the previous day's clothes into the shopping bag, put on my low heels, and sat back on the one-seater in the room, busying myself with a game.I heard a knock on the door and I looked up from my phone."It's time to leave, I called for a ride already,"
Dangerous Heartbeats 28 - Seven words
♡ Skylar ♡Alfred smirked, walking closer to us until he was a few feet away."Why would I be joking, Amore?" He asked softly. Without waiting for my reply, he squatted, turning to Aurora while smiling innocently, his dimple popping out."How are you, little one?""I'm fine." She stretched her word and released herself from my grip, throwing her arms around his neck for a hug. Alfred craned his neck to get a view of me and smirked."I hate you," I mouthed, raising my fists in a threatening manner, but he just found it amusing that he laughed. Aurora pulled away to look at him. "Are you coming with us for our dinner? Please come, " she pouted.He frowned."Your mommy doesn't want me to"My eyes widened at how innocent he sounded. How could he act so innocent?"Mommy, please, will Mr Handsome come with us?" She grabbed my hand, forcing me to look at her. I unwillingly took my eyes off Alfred, my gaze meeting hers. Her blue eyes and pouty lips immediately melted me."Say yes, say yes,"
