Dangerous Heartbeats 39 - Memories...how ironic
♡ Skylar ♡I picked up my half drink, taking a long gulp before I dropped the empty cup on the table."How long has he been here?" Ethan asked as he settled on the couch beside me."Who?"He scowled. "Alfred, who else was just here?""Few hours," I muttered. "Since when?""Breakfast, why?"I took in my lower lip, brushing back the hair that was falling in front of my face."Is he harassing you?"He snapped. I turned to him immediately, my eyes widening. "What?! No! Why would you say that?"He shrugged. "He came to your house unannounced and he just left this late, what was I supposed to think?"I shook my head, standing up from the couch. Why would he think Alfred was harassing me? Ethan could be overprotective sometimes but not to this extent. Was there something between the both of them I didn't know about? I guess not. Alfred didn't even know who he was until today.I grabbed my laptop from the other couch and returned to my seat beside Ethan."Alfred is my friend so I want you
Dangerous Heartbeats 40 - The real story
The Next Day...♡ Alfred ♡"Is she not going to be here again?""It's almost five, and she agreed to be here by four! That was an hour ago!" I snapped.Xander looked up from his phone."Dude, calm down."I slammed my fists on the table, earning a glance from the people around us, but I cared less.I was losing my mind, thinking of all possibilities. Xander had to make it worse and refused to say anything. I was losing it. If she was still alive, what was I going to do? My mind went to Skylar. Gosh. I'm so conflicted right now.No. It's been five years and I already got rid of every feeling for Valerie but the memories of the moment we had were there and spending time with Skylar was so confusing at times because she reminded me of the times I spent with Valerie. They had the same eyes, similar remarks, and all that. "Hi.""I'm sorry I'm late."I looked up immediately to see a lady taking the empty seat opposite Xander and me. That face. Nothing changed, except for the eyes. Valerie
Dangerous Heartbeats 41 - Where it all started
♡ Skylar ♡I parked my car by the bridge and started to make my way down to the river. I didn't know how I got here or what exactly I was doing here by this river at night.The same one where I first met Alfredo. I remember that day as clearly as it happened. I was turning seventeen in three months. I had just failed a test, and it didn't help that Mom was angry at me. I mean, she had the right to anyway. I had stormed off home that day and somehow found myself here, I sat on a stone crying my eyes out, and then I realized I wasn't alone. Alfred was there. Apparently, he drank his life out because his dad was disappointed in him for not getting a contract. We talked, and I was still surprised at how he sounded sober even though he was drunk. Neither of us wanted to leave that night, and we didn't. The next morning, he had driven me home. Somehow, we met again, early morning coffee dates and night walks, and I started dating the famous Alfredo Miller. It's funny how it's been seven yea
Dangerous Heartbeats 42 - Treehouse
♡ Skylar ♡I became alert. My body straightened as I gripped the phone tighter."What do you mean it's on fire?""I don't know, I was inside when I noticed it started burning.""Shit." I scrambled to my feet immediately."Are you alright? Did you get hurt?""No, I'm fine. You should come.""Alright, I'll be there."I hung up, shoving my phone in my pocket. I turned around to head back to the bridge, but Alfred held my hands, reminding me that I wasn't the only one there."I'll go with you," he said slowly.I shook my head."No, it's fine. I came in my car. You should go home instead."He gripped my hand firmly."I insist."I nodded, a faint smile crossing my lips."Thank you.""Since you came in your car, you should go first. I'll follow behind you.""Hm." I nodded and he released his hold on me. I rushed to my car and got in, driving towards the treehouse immediately.I arrived at the treehouse a few minutes later. The fire truck was parked a few meters away, and the loud siren of th

☆ MONDAY♡ Skylar ♡"Great work, everyone," I smiled and picked up my phone and the disposable coffee cup."You should get lunch. It's on me.""Thank you, ma'am," they replied amongst themselves. I smiled and nodded at Lara, and we both walked out of the conference room."Has Ms. Parker gotten back to you yet?" I asked her as we stepped into the elevator. The door slid shut, and she shook her head."She hasn't gotten back to us. I think she's having second thoughts."I sighed. "Make sure she doesn't, and if she still acts unsure, book a meeting with her. It's high time we met.""Noted, ma'am.""What's next on my schedule?""Just some paperwork to get done. By 4 pm, you have to visit the hotel, and by 6 pm, a meeting with the restaurant's new head of chefs.""Today's a busy day, huh?" I exhaled."Do you want me to order lunch for you, ma'am?""No, it's fine."The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. I headed for my office, and she took the elevator back.☆"So wiped out," I muttered,
Dangerous Heartbeats 44 - Everyword I say
♡ Alfred ♡My phone rang just as I dropped it on the table. Seeing the name on the caller ID, I picked up the phone and answered the call."Sir, I have the man.""Good, send me the address, I'll come over now.""On it."I hung up immediately, leaning my back on the chair as my lips curved into a smirk. Whoever thought to mess with an innocent person would surely pay for it. My phone buzzed and I stared at the screen. It was a text with the address. Putting my phone away, I cleared my desk, shut my laptop, and headed for the door. Immediately I pulled the door open, I came face to face with Xander."Hey man, I was about to come in," he smiled."I have to be somewhere," I replied and slammed the door shut, walking up to the elevator, and he followed after me."You visited Aiden, didn't you?""True," I nodded. The elevator opened and we got in, the door sliding shut."And you beat him up?"I smirked. "No, we talked. With our fists. More of I talked and he listened.""What if he sues you
Dangerous Heartbeats 45 - Classic
♡ Skylar ♡"Why was I just grinning like a fool?" I murmured to myself as I started the car and drove off. The moment when he pulled me closer to him and my body pressed against his replayed in my head and my lips slowly started to curve up. I placed my palm over my face immediately, suppressing the smile."Focus, Skylar!""Don't lose concentration," I muttered. I took my hands off my mouth, gripping the wheel with both hands."Alfred's charm can't work on you again, not for the second time,""You know what kind of a person he is""Revenge. Hannah will kill you if you lose focus. "I was trying to reassure myself that, but his darn smirking face kept replaying in my head. I groaned inwardly, taking a hand off the wheel to run through my hair.I noticed a few cars stopped ahead and gradually reduced my speed, stopping behind a car. Reaching for my bag, I retrieved my phone. I dialed Hannah's number immediately, and she answered on the second ring."Hello, this is Kim Hannah. How can I
Dangerous Heartbeats 46 - Safety first
♡ Skylar ♡"Good morning, boss," Arielle called with a wide smile as I made my way down the stairs. "Good morning. Are you ready to leave now?" I asked, heading straight for the kitchen."Yes, can you drop me off?""Sure," I replied. I entered the kitchen and reached for the refrigerator, pulling out a bottle of water. I grabbed a glass from the cupboard and filled it. Gulping down the water, I returned the glass to its place and walked out of the kitchen. Arielle was sorting something in her bag when I walked back into the living room."Aurora!" I yelled, looking towards the stairs. I heard the sounds of her footsteps and the door slamming shut. She bounced down the stairs, grabbed her schoolbag, and dashed out. I grabbed my keys, giving Arielle a slight nod, and we both headed for the door. As we stepped out of the house, my phone suddenly started ringing. I looked down at my bag, pulled the zipper open, and took out my phone. I rolled my eyes, hissing silently at the name on the
