Kissing The Wind Chapter 35
My body tensed and I felt Rogie's stare bore onto my back. Anthony looked at Rogie and I saw a small smile crept onto his lips. "Congrats on your wedding. But you should attend to your wife." I could hear Rogie's whispered grunt from where I stood. I knew that Anthony's words hit home. He snorted. "You surprised me. At least tell me that Synee will be here." "It's a last minute decision." Rogie did not argue with Anthony anymore and just bit his goodbye. But when he walked passed by me, he tapped my shoulder. A tingle spread down my spine as I watched him walk away. Anthony's grip on my hand tighten."That's it." I huffed and opened the passenger door but Anthony held my wrist. I turned around and tipped my head back to look into his eyes. "Stop meddling with us." His lips twitched and let go of my wrist. "He's married." "I know." I looked away and crossed my arms against my chest. "We just talk about Lady Geneva and her husband." His forehead creased but he did not insist agai

"I bought you a dress." I stopped chewing and looked at him. He was busy on his plate but I noticed his occasional glance on me. When our eyes met, I knitted my brows. "Dress?" "For prom." He reached for the glass of water and took a sip before facing me. "Next week. I bought a dress for you." I looked on my plate and my cheeks felt hot. I thought he would reprimand me for ignoring him in school ground but I did not know that he wanted to talk about a dress. And I was still thinking about Rogie's appearance in prom. I kind of reluctant to go since he is coming and maybe Lisa too. "What are you thinking?" Anthony asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "About the dress, I have money." He just grinned and said nothing. We spent the next minutes eating and thinking of our own affairs. But I noticed how knitted Anthony's brows were. I cleared my throat. "What's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me and then shook his head. "Nothing." He resumed eating. I looked on my plate and finished the food

A deafening silence echoed in the sorrounding. It made Sydnee's breath hitched. She swallowed hard and waited for Anthony to speak but the latter did not show any emotion. He just stood there, silently watching her. "Umm..." She looked away and tried to ease the uncomfortable feeling in her chest. "I-I like you. Don't misunderstand that. I just want to say ---" "Sydnee," Anthony stopped her then he looked away, just like she did. "It's cold. Let's get inside." She spent a few seconds before she look at Anthony. The latter was looking at the black horizon in the distance. Sydnee lowered her head. "I want to go home." Sighing, she turned and took a step towards the parking lot. She knew it. Anthony was not into her. And why should he be? Sydnee swallowed hard, blinking away the tears brimming in her eyes. There was a pang in her chest but she ignored it. She knew that she and Anthony would not... Footsteps were heard in the cold night and leaves were rustling around her. She knew t

But she had decided and she would not put any more pressure on Anthony. Maybe, he would come back to his hometown soon after she leave. She curved her lips into a faint smile and then turned towards the entrance. Her foot took a step forward, then another, and then she was completely out of the gate. The sun was high in the clouds but the wind was cool, blowing into her, touching her skin. She walked back home.It was only three in the afternoon when she stopped walking forward. A few meters away from her, she saw the small nipa hut which seemed familiar yet unfamiliar to her. It was months since she last saw the hut and seeing it again, she could not describe her feelings. She breathed deeply and then continued taking steps forward. She had been walking under the sun for nearly five hours and occasionally stopped at waiting sheds to drink water she bought at the store and to shed from the sun. When it come to perseverance, she stood in the rank. She was used walking to where she

Sydnee pushed the table to hinder the woman from approaching her. She turned around and ran her way out of the house. Frustrated screams could be heard from inside the hut but she did not mind it at all. The good thing was that she still have her backpack which contain all her important things. Now, she needed to find shelter and to ask for help. But she did not know where to ask for help. She spent nearly an hour running away from home before she slowly stopped. She bend and put her hands on her knees, panting hard. Her back was drench in sweat and beads of sweat accumulate in her forehead. A few minutes later, she stood straight and looked around. She was standing in sidewalk and occasional cars were seen passing by the highway. Her forehead creased. She was not familiar with the street. Where was she? She looked sideways and the afternoon glow of the sun shone on her face. She squinted her eyes and turned back. A car was seen parking two meters away from her. The backseat window

She blew a breathe and shook her head, trying to erase the heaviness in her chest. The sun had set on the west and darkness slowly engulfed the sorrounding. The driver invited her to the car, and although she was skeptical, she still followed along. It felt surreal yet she had no choice.IT WAS noon when Anthony opened his eyes. There was a faint noises in the neighborhood and the wind was blowing in and out of the window. He sat up and looked at the clock on the bedside table. Then he got up and took a bath. When he walked out of his room, the landline rang. He went back to his room to answer the call. "Anthony, come back home. His Royal Highess wants you and your dad's presence in the banquet." There was a pause between him and his mother. Then he sighed. "I'll go." His voice was hoarse. "What? Are you still asleep?" "Nay." He looked on the window. He heard his mother sighed on the other line. "Your time is up. You should resign in that academy. Now that the king wants you to
Kissing The Wind Chapter 42
It is not a secret that rulers live in a seclusive area. It is an area that was built since the ancient monarchical era of the country. There, a broken castle was still standing against the test of time and one mile from it is where the mansion of Duke Theodore was built. Duke Theodore is the duke of Obando, a state next to Consolacion, the state of Anthony's father. And standing before the enormous mansion made Sydnee felt powerless and small. It was already evening when they arrived and the maid informed Duke Theodore that Lady Geneva and Catarina had gone to Consolacion half an hour ago. The two was invited for a dinner in Duke of Consolacion's house. Sydnee wondered if Anthony also attended the said dinner.
