As soon as the elevator opened, I immediately grabbed Femella and kissed her. I leaned her across the wall on the side of the elevator and pressed myself against her body.
How I miss her soft skin against mine, the taste and warmth of her lips kept me awake every night while being away. Her heavenly scent is enough for now to quench my thirst for the last week.I squeezed her exposed thigh and snaked it to my waist."No one will look for you at the party?" she asked while catching for air."Who?" I traced the outline of her lips."Remember the woman you're with?" Her eyes are saying more things."Forget about her. You're far more important."I wrapped her legs around her waist and started walking towards my room. She grabbed my shoulders and bit my neck hard. I moaned. My pants tightened even more in confinement.I scanned my palm over the door-lock and it automatically opened.I pushed the door shut with my fooRelated chapters

"You're officially mine starting tonight."I looked at Maverick from the reflection in his bedroom mirror. He is on the end of the bed drinking alcohol. I continued to comb my hair. We just finished taking a shower together.He let me borrow his shirt and boxer again. It was like I was back on the island again. "And then what?"I saw him straighten up."What do you mean?""What will happen after I say yes? Endless dates? Knowing stages? Unlimited sex? And then what? You'll dump me right after you're done with me. Why would we go through all that when we could easily end it this instant, Mav."He drained the contents of his glass and laid it on the side table. Maverick stood up and pulled me upright.We stood face to face with each other. The light coming from his lamp shade casted a shadow on his strained face."What is it this time, Femella?" His voice is hard and the restrained an

I had high hopes for tonight after spotting her in the crowd. I missed her. I wanted to go to her that instant and kissed her senseless. One week of being away from her is pure hell. I can barely concentrate.If I hadn't forced myself to finish a week's stay in Japan, I might have just flown in a jiffy and decided to go home. Cahil's presence didn't help either. She's just there to obviously annoy me all the time.She would always tease me about the girl in my lockscreen. I saved Femella's picture from my other phone to make it my lockscreen. Since discovering it, she's been nagging me to meet the girl who she said to be 'the one' for me. Femella just happened to be here. I planned all along to go to her apartment after I checked the event. The Asturia matriarch requested my presence for tonight. She is a dear friend of my mother so I was kind of forced. I also respect Cahil who has been my friend and childhood friend for a long time. But after

"Stop staring at me Dave. With my state right now, I don't need your questions."I wiped the tears from my cheeks and looked out of the moving car.My mind is going back to Mav's unit and to the scenes after that. How I wish I could erase the pain in his eyes but as far as I want to do it, my responsibility stops me. I think Maverick's angry face will be planted in my head. Gone is the warmth in his eyes as he looked at me. Suddenly, the care and the passion I always read in his eyes since we were on the island are lost. It was replaced by anger, bitterness, and disgust. His eyes became cold to me. Earlier, I saw no sign that he believed me. It's all doubt all over his face. I can't blame him for that. I did it to myself. I did it to us. He looked at me from the driver's seat. "I actually quite have an idea. I turned on the device when you know.. You know.. You guys are so noisy so for the sake of my well-being, I turned it

"Mom." I held my mother by her shoulder while she's happily playing with her granddaughter in the living area. Her face is filled with joy while rocking the five -month -old baby in her arms. I smiled when I saw the contentment on her face.Who knew the great Isabella Andrado-Fuentebella will retire to business just to solely tend her years in pampering her grandchildren? Surely not the young me who witnessed how tight and disciplinarian she is. She was even more cruel than my father. He never dared to go against my mother. She is the rule of the house. No one can say otherwise. I still remembered how we shivered because we didn’t reach our quota grades in elementary.Those were the days. When we were in our high school years, Gideon and I would always top the class. But I lost it all out when I'm in college. I became a rebel son before ultimately knowing my way back home. My mother drastically changed when dad died. Her views in life

I felt so heavy. Something is weighing me down. My lips were dry. I tried to swallow saliva. I opened my eyes and studied the place. White ceilings and pendant chandeliers were the first things that immediately popped up in my sight. I squinted. The light hurts my eyes. I moved my hand but something stopped me. I looked at my side and saw Maverick's face. He sat in a chair next to the bed and rested his head on the mattress. He's holding my hand. I closed my eyes and mentally pinched Dave. That kid is such a brat. I already told him not to inform Maverick. I looked up and examined the sleeping man. His position is really uncomfortable. His eyebrows are slightly raised and his forehead is furrowed. I smiled while reaching for the crease on his forehead and straightening them out. I then straightened his eyebrow and spent a few minutes just staring at his face. He is definitely troubled. I can tell by his expression that something is really bothering him.

"Sir, we have him already," Jex informed me.I stopped pouring the milk in the glass when I heard what he said. I glanced at Femella who has put all her focus on building the puzzle. She crashed to the floor wearing my t-shirt. It's been three days since she's been with me and so far, she's recovering fast."Did you file the necessary charges? I want him forever locked."The contents of the milk carton were thrown away by the tightness of my grip on it. Femella’s appearance that night played on my mind. She's pale, almost lifeless in my arms. That image will keep me haunted forever and it's all because of that man. He’s going to pray to whoever his god is because I’m just not going to stop here. I know this is deeper than this. I strongly believe that the conversation I witnessed between Lagma and Fem had something to do with what happened."Yes, sir. Already taken care of.""Good. I'll be there."I ended the call and wiped

I've been staring at my cell phone for a few minutes now but I'm still not moving from standing in the middle of the living room. Dave's call had ended earlier but I was still looking at nothing. My heart is heavy with my choice.I glanced around Maverick's unit. On a corner is a display of his family pictures. There's a picture of the Fuentebella family and another picture of him on his graduation in college.I walked over to the area and picked up the picture frame. I caressed Maverick's smiling face. His smile is so wide that it radiates out from the picture. I didn't realize that I just smiled too.I remember what he told me earlier. He wants me to open up to him. But how am I going to do that if he still doesn’t want to hear me about what I know about his past? I know that I can't fully share my past with him without touching that memory.I sighed. "Mom, Dad. Why did you put me in this dilemma?"The ring of the phone broke the s

I got up from the bed and scratched my head. I'm sweaty and breathless as I'm having those episodes of nightmare again. My nightmare now was strange compared to the previous nights. I haven't woken up in the middle of the night for a few days. I usually wake up in the morning, and all I remember is the dream. I thought about my dream. The same girl in every dream is calling my name. She's asking for my help while a big man is dragging her out of the dented car. I tried to reach for her to help, but I couldn't move my whole body, which was stuck to the steering wheel. I was numb from the pain caused by our collision with a concrete barrier. I feel like I was so worthless during those times. I could do nothing but listen to the woman's faint cry. And then silence. I fought the urge to fall into sleep, but the numbness in my head is throbbing. I closed my eyes and welcomed the deafening silence. And then I woke up,
