WARNING LONG CHAPTER!! HUHU ANG HIRAP HATIIN NG WORDCOUNT

Lexie's Point Of View

I offered to split the bill, pero agad siyang umiling.

"Since you haven't gotten your first paycheck yet, I'll cover this," he said casually.

"Just treat me once you get your first check."

Napangiti ako at agad na sumang-ayon.

"Deal."

Pagbalik namin sa apartment ko, my feet were already killing me from all the walking.

"Hold on to me," he offered, hawak ang brown paper bag sa isang kamay, sabay abot ng kabilang braso niya sa akin.

Napaatras ako saglit, hesitant to take it.

Napansin niya 'yon, kaya tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.

"Or..." he teased, 'yung bibig niya may bahid ng pilyong ngiti, "do you want me to give you a piggyback ride?"

Agad akong namula.

"No! Holding on to your arm should be fine," I insisted, halos nag-panic sa hiya.

Naka-arch pa rin 'yung kilay niya habang nakatingin sa akin, clearly waiting for me to heed his offer.

Napapikit na lang ako saglit bago ko dahan-dahang iniangkla ang braso ko

    DREW’S POVI pressed my lips against hers again, stealing another kiss like a man starved. *God, I could never get enough of her.* *"Yes,"* I rasped against her mouth, my voice low and rough. *"And just so you know… that’s impossible."* Her brows furrowed slightly. *"What do you mean?"* she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I smirked wickedly, brushing my thumb along her bottom lip. *"Simple,"* I drawled. *"We both have the same taste… in women."* She blinked slowly, clearly not following. But then, after a beat, her eyes widened in shock. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she groaned dramatically, covering her face with both hands. *"Oh my god…"* she mumbled into her palms. *"I’m such an idiot. I can’t believe I acted like a jealous psycho."* I laughed, a deep, throaty sound, and gently pried her hands away from her face. *"Don’t you dare hide from me,"* I teased, planting soft kisses along her knuckles. *"I’ve missed you too much to let you do that."*

    DREW’S POVI took a long swig of my drink, the burn of the alcohol barely registering anymore.No fucking way am I letting that happen.She was mine now.And I’d be damned if I let some other bastard take her away from me—especially my cousin.Luke will have to step over my dead body first before he gets Lexie back.I wouldn’t let go of the momentum I had with her. Not after everything.I had too much to lose now.I shouldn’t have let her in my life if I knew I’d be this terrified of losing her.No.I wasn’t backing down."Drew?"I looked up at the sound of her voice, instantly sobering.That soft, angelic voice I could recognize anywhere.Lexie.I blinked, my lips curving into a slow smile as she walked toward me. "Hey, beautiful," I greeted, my voice hoarse from the alcohol.Her brows furrowed instantly. "Are you drunk?"I quickly shook my head, but the motion made my vision tilt. Shit."No," I slurred slightly, forcing a grin. "Just… tipsy, I guess."Her frown deepened as she eyed

    DREW’S POV"So, what’s the plan? You gonna drink yourself to death or are you finally gonna spill?"I shot Love a sharp glare as she slid onto the barstool beside me, looking way too amused for my liking. Her French accent was faint, barely noticeable now, but her smugness? Yeah, still there."Shut up," I muttered before downing another shot.Instead of being intimidated, she smirked and swirled her drink lazily. "You know, last time we talked, you were practically floating. Going on and on about how you finally had the girl you’ve been pining for all these years." She arched a brow. "What the hell happened?"I groaned, letting my forehead hit the bar with a dull thud. Tangina naman. Leave it to Love to rip open the wound I was trying to drown in alcohol.Just a few days ago, I was convinced I was winning Lexie over. Finally.Now? I was halfway drunk, seething with jealousy, and hating myself for it.Kasi yung interview kanina? It was a complete disaster.Seeing her with Luke? Putangi

    ### **Lexie’s POV** I glanced at my watch again. *Shit.* There was still time before the interview. I silently prayed that Drew would be late para hindi ako mapunta sa alanganing sitwasyon. I didn't understand why I was feeling on edge while waiting for Luke. *Baka nag-o-overthink lang ako,* I reasoned with myself. But just when I thought I could get away with it... *"Lexie. Sorry to keep you waiting."* Napapikit ako sa inis at napamura nang mahina sa isip ko. *Putangina talaga.* Of all the times, ngayon pa siya naging maaga. I slowly turned around and saw Drew walking towards me. His eyes were locked on mine, but there was a slight edge in them. *Great. Just perfect.* The last thing I wanted was for him to misunderstand the situation between me and his cousin. I forced a nervous smile. "You can pick the spot for the interview," I offered quickly, trying to avoid his eyes. *"I just need to meet someone first. It won’t take long, promise."* His eyes narrowed slight

    Lexie’s POVIt had been a week since I started avoiding Drew.Yeah, call me stupid, pero wala akong pakialam. The moment I realized I was slowly falling for him, takot ang nauna. Takot na baka bumagsak na naman ako sa parehong bangin na pinaglaglagan ko noon.I had to remind myself: You’ve been here before, Lexie. You already loved one Veltrano and it nearly destroyed you.And now? History was repeating itself—with his cousin.It made me wonder if it was just some cruel coincidence or if the stars were just being assholes, making sure I’d fall for men who were related to each other.Pero bago pa mahulog nang tuluyan, I decided to protect myself. Before another Veltrano broke me.I had to. Drew never promised me anything. From the very beginning, this was just a no-strings, carefree affair. There were no talks of forever, no commitment, just fleeting moments in each other’s arms.And when he decided to walk away—which he eventually would—I’d be the one left nursing the scars.So, kahit

    Lexie’s POVBigla akong natigilan. I knew he was just teasing, but the way he phrased it made me feel like he was digging for something. I let out a nervous laugh. “Not exactly. I just needed some time away.” “Right,” he mused, but there was a knowing look in his eyes. “Well, whoever he is, he has an interesting taste in gifts. Ares, the god of war, for your boss? Sounds like a challenge.” Napangiti na lang ako, trying to play along. “Or maybe he just thought you’d appreciate something unique.” “Hmm. I’ll take that as a compliment,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “Anyway, I should let you get back to work. Thanks for the gift, Lexie. It was unexpected but… amusing.” I nodded, watching as he stood up. “You’re welcome, Mr.—I mean, tristan” He grinned before walking out of my office, leaving me exhaling in relief. That was close. “Anyway,” he continued, “the reason I came to your office is that I heard from Kimberly that you’re friends with Drew Spiridakou. Is that tru
