Chapter 59: The Planning (Vol. 2)
It was another day to school, and I was walking out of the Psychology room. I had been so exhausted lately and I could barely insert some information in my head. The exam day was approaching, which meant the dreadful days were about to come.
During English class a while ago, Miguel was still so distant. He didn't look mad or disappointed in me, he just wasn't the Miguel I used to hang out with. Something changed and he became more serious. I was starting to overthink and maybe I'd done something wrong. Or maybe he was just dealing with something he didn't want anyone to know. But that thought had been bugging me. I couldn't worry about that too when I was still loaded with these family problems.
And after what happened yesterday between Daniel and me, I'd come to a decision to confront Kourtney about the blackmail. I needed to make a move before anything went wrong and someone would get hurt. I needed to sort these problems out as soon as

I was pacing back and forth beside the exit of the school, while I chewed my bottom lip and waited for Kourtney to pass by. My hands were sweating and thoughts crept in my head. I didn't know how was I going to confront her or even where to start. If I didn't seem believable enough, our plan would blow up.My attention averted when I noticed Kourtney strutting towards the exit. Her voluminous, brown hair bounced in every step she took, and her glamorous face was stoic. The cream-colored, fur coat she always wore was hiding her fitted blouse and slender body. Once she shot me her hazel eyes, I gulped in nervousness.She moved in front of me, as her vanilla scent entered my nose."What are you doing here?" she asked curiously."I need to tell you something," I answered, trying to hide the nervousness in my tone.She beckoned me to go with her outside and I complied. Trailing behind her, we t
His Fragile Flame Chapter 61: Unrevised Decision
After the agreement I had with Kourtney, I went to Daniel to share this news: it was going to be over.I spotted him in his motorcycle, putting his black leather jacket on before he noticed me standing beside him. A huge grin crept across my face, as he lifted his brows in curiosity."What happened?" he asked, and I pursed my lips together before moving a step closer to him."It's going to be over," I answered, sounding more enthusiastic than what I intended. "Kourtney agreed to delete the video after this vacation."He plastered nothing but a blank expression. His lips were drawn to a thin line and his ocean eyes suddenly looked away from me. I watched him as he took in what I just said; I knew he'd grown an attachment to this fake relationship.I wasn't sure what word to utter at this moment. I was expecting him to be surprised or happy, but it was different. He was stoic— the expr
His Fragile Flame Chapter 62: Dress To Impress
I didn't expect packing some clothes would be difficult, and I regretted doing this the other day when I had all the time yesterday. I shouldn't have procrastinated, maybe I'd be done packing by now. Pieces of clothing were scattered everywhere in this room, the continuous ring of my phone was distracting me, and I was now drenched with sweat.Hasting, I picked up the phone, only to see the caller ID flashed on the screen. It seemed like I didn't have a choice and just answered it."Devaraux, what do you want?" I asked, my tone sounded displeased."Why aren't you picking up your phone?" She said, irritated."Why?""I'm outside the apartment building, and I decided to fetch you."I gaped my mouth in awe and furrowed my brows in annoyance. I can't believe her."What am I, a seven-year-old?" I responded in annoyance."I'm making sure
His Fragile Flame Chapter 63: Breaking The Boundary
We were all seated in the minivan, with a song resounding the area along with their voices. I was sat beside Daniel in the passenger's seat, Kourtney and Mason were behind us, Emma and Caley sat beside each other, and Miguel and Amanda were at the very back row of the van.I kept silent beside him, while I looked outside of the car's window to make my mind drift from the thought of this awkward situation. I felt like Daniel knew about my reaction a while ago and I could feel that he wasn't too glad about it. Not because of me suddenly being okay because Miguel was already around, but because I lack appreciation for his efforts.Biting my lip, I was fidgeting by gripping the dress I was wearing. I was glad the awkward silence that was filling the gap between Daniel and I was replaced by the noises of the people at the back. They didn't care if they sounded out of tune, they were just having fun."I'm a sucker for you. S
His Fragile Flame Chapter 64: Vacation
I felt like I could've fainted, and the oxygen was non-existent at this moment. His grip was making me sweat, and tingles began to form in my stomach. I couldn't move, and I wanted to push him away but a part of me didn't.He got closer and closer. Every bit of his move caused my heart to skip a beat. He was hovering on top of me, as his bare chest pressed against my bust. What was he doing? The tension grew thicker and his head moved closer to me. The void between us was non-existent, and all I could feel now was the hotness of his breath and my heart rapidly beating.His hands moved further to grasp the hem of my shirt, but he quickly unheld it to graze his hand on my waist. He was touching me and I was letting it happen. A part of me wanted to stop, but the tension was devouring me. I shouldn't, the voice whispered in my head.He leaned closer, leaving no space as his pink lips were an inch aw
His Fragile Flame Chapter 65: Opening Up
The sun was setting down and we had been gathered around the bonfire. The sunset was starting to dim the place, as the yellow streaks started to illuminate the area we were in. We were warming up beside the bonfire, holding sticks with marshmallows as everyone laughed along with each other's remarks. We were sat on the sand, as the waves of the sea beside us created a soothing sound. I loved this moment, and I was glad I had the chance to experience this.Chatters and cackles filled the ghost silence, and the atmosphere seemed relaxing. We'd also changed our outfits, so we wore some hoodies and sweatpants because it was seemingly cold. I had wrapped my arms around myself, gripping the clothing that cloaked my freezing body. Roaming my eyes around, I spotted Miguel approaching with two bottles of liquor in his grasp. He wore a white top and baggy sweatpants, along with a pair of flip flops.I had admired him the whole day; he was the one wh
His Fragile Flame Chapter 66: Cold Night
Warning: There's a mention of abortion in this chapter.~*~Everyone's ears were lent to Kourtney in anticipation. She remained quiet, as she tried to comprehend what she was about to say. She was looking down at her fidgeting hands and I could tell it was hard for her to be opening up a sensitive topic like this."She was the first person to know that I was pregnant because I always confide things with her," she started, her tone became forced and strained. "But our relationship turned around and her betrayal led to us being apart."When she began the whole explanation, I didn't have a clue how to react. I didn't even know if I was supposed to understand or empathize with her. All I could do was listen."She was the one who told our parents about it before I even had a chance to talk it out with them. That's why my parents f
His Fragile Flame Chapter 67: Safe Haven
I stared at the bonfire in front of us, bringing my knees closer to my chest as I wrapped my hands around them. Miguel was studying me and I tried to avoid his curious gaze. "I'm glad you're here," he said, eyes drifting away from me. "I just figured that you might need some company," I lied, shrugging. "Is Daniel still up?" he asked. Right, he knew that we were dating. How could I explain this? "No, he's actually um—" I stammered before clearing my throat. "He's asleep," I simply answered. He nodded his head in response, as the silent atmosphere and the sound of waves started to dominate the area. Unsure of what to say next, I pursed my lips tight and just waited for him to respond. "Why are you still awake?" he asked, grabbing the twig beside him and started tracing on the sand. "Something's been bugging me," I admitted, drifting my eyes to him. "What was it?" He turned to look at me, as his eyes glinted in the darkness. That look of him reminded me of the time when he save
