Shawn's POV

After getting dressed, I immediately got out of the room in hastened movements. I wanted to just leave and not say anything anymore, but just thinking of doing that made me feel guilty and made me feel bad for George. George does not deserve that treatment. He's too kind to be treated like that.

So despite me itching to just leave already, I made my way to the kitchen, where George was. His back was on me as he busied himself with cooking whatever it was while singing his heart out

    Shawn and George's side story has finally ended!First of all, I would like to apologize for not making the side story into 25 chapters like I promised. I swear I tried, but as I continued to write their story, I started to lose the plot and everything, and I was also having some emotional problems and issues, making me ultimately decide to just end them before I ended up destroying what I had already written. Still, I hope I was still able to give justice to Shawn and George's ending.I also would like to thank you all for giving this book a chance, for joining me in this journey. Words are not enough to describe how thankful I am to every single one of you who made time to read this baby of mine. I truly appreciate all of you.Lastly, I hope that this won't be the end of our journey together. I hope that you will also join me in my other books, both the ongoing ones and my future books, and give them a chance, just like you did in this book.And now, I am finally ending this here. On

  • GUARDED HEAT   SIDE STORY - AFTER HOURS ROMANCE FINAL CHAPTER

    George's POVA deep and long sigh came out of my mouth. It's just one in the afternoon, and yet I already feel drained and tired. I already felt like going home. And if it was the usual, I would have done that---going home---since I was already done with what I needed to do anyway. But I can't. Not this time. Not until the building had to be closed, and he's still not around.Yes, I was waiting for Shawn to arrive.Shawn hasn't been gone to work for three days now since our date at the aquarium. It was Gunner that had been taking his place and doing his job, which I thought would be disastrous, but surprisingly, it wasn't, and our workflow was actually normal, just like how it is when Shawn is handling everything.And yes again, I knew it was pathetic waiting for Shawn, knowing that there's a very little chance of him coming. And in the days of his absence, all I did was wait for him, but he never came. And surely, that was still going to be the case today. But there's still that litt

    Shawn's POV"So, have you finally found something interesting on the wall? Because you have been staring at it for quite a while now."That question from Gunner, who was behind me, brought my attention back to him, only to find him standing so close to me that my face almost landed at his crotch.I quickly pushed him away in disgust, then stood up. "What the fuck, Gunner?"He grinned mischievously. "What? I am not even doing anything. I was just standing.""You could have stood away from me! Why the fuck did you have to be so fucking close? Fuck! You're fucking disgusting!"Gunner chuckled, finding my reaction to be so fucking funny. And that only intensified the irritation I was feeling.I gave my brother the sharpest stare I could give, giving him the indication that I was so close to strangling the life out of him that if he refuses to stop pissing me off, I will really knock the shit out of him.Seeing how serious I was, Gunner finally raised his two hands, a sign that he was givi

    George's POV With the way Shawn's eyes had widened and with the way his mouth was hanging, I already knew that George was surprised with the words that came out of my mouth, as if he was not expecting it, as if he didn't know this was how I felt, which almost made me raise my eyebrows. Because how could he not know? This was not the first time I told him this—the truth—so why was he acting as if it was the first time he heard me say it? Could it be because when I first mentioned it to him, he immediately told me off, saying that I was completely wrong, that I was just seeing things, and then said that I should never say such words again or else he would not be that forgiving anymore?Honestly, those threats should have been enough to stop me and just keep my mouth shut. I don't want to sully my relationship with him after all. But there were times that I just couldn't help but let out my honest opinions, and today is one of those times. And I do not regret it even a single bit.Georg

    Shawn's POV"We agreed that we'll go with our separate cars," I told George firmly."That was before I decided to come here. I mean, come on. You can't be thinking that I will be coming all the way here only for us to leave with our own cars, right?"I did not say anything, and that was enough for George to know the answer to his question.He raised his eyebrows while grinning as if he was amused by me. "Really, Shawn?" he asked.My grip on the steering wheel tightened, and I gave him a sharp stare. "That's what we decided to do, and I trusted you to follow through with it.""Well, I didn't. That's why I'm here." I tried to retort, but George did not let me as he spoke immediately again. "And you surely won't ask me to ride a taxi, will you? Because if you do, that would be so low and so heartless of you."I stared at him in disbelief. I wanted to say something, to tell him off, or anything. But upon seeing the look in his face—the look that tells me he won't budge or that he would be

    ‘Stop getting hard.’‘Stop getting hard.’‘You can't get hard!’‘You can't be turned on because of him!’I kept saying those words inside my head as if it was some kind of mantra. And I was seriously hoping that my body would follow along with what my brain had been saying, but just like last night

    "Is Annie on her way?" Layland asked me after I sat down—this time I chose to sit on the three-seater sofa and not on the stool anymore. I just came back from the cafeteria and just had my dinner. It looks like he's already done having his dinner as well since the food tray couldn't be seen anymore
