"I told you I don't want to do this!" I yelled at Caesar as we paddled the kayak together. "You are saying that, but here you are now, paddling with me." With a grin on his face, Caesar responded. I came to a halt and gave him a deathly gaze. I gritted my teeth and said, "You forced me! This isn't out of my own volition!" "Then you should have said something when they were explaining to us how to use the kayak." "If I did, would you have listened?" "That depends. If you said you didn't want to go kayaking but would still give me your time to have a decent talk with you again, I would. But if you refuse to go kayaking and also refuse to lend some of your time, I will not listen to you." After hearing what he said, my grip on the paddle strengthened. My jaws tightened, and I gritted my teeth. I would have declined right away if I hadn't been so surprised by how abrupt and unexpected everything was. Unfortunately, by the time I realized what was going on, I was already riding the k

I could feel the scorching, puzzled, and bewildered stares that Raine and Tyler were throwing at me. It's six o'clock in the evening, and the two have finally decided to stop locking themselves in their room so that they can join us for dinner in a seafood restaurant that Caesar personally chose. Raine and Tyler were next to each other while facing me, and Caesar was by my side, who was busy peeling the prawns and the crabs for me so that I wouldn't have any trouble eating. Even if they don't say it, I know what Raine and Tyler are thinking. They are probably thinking, 'What the hell is going on with these two?' And I understand their reaction. Because if I were in their shoes, I would be flabbergasted too at this scene I am seeing. Until Raine couldn't hold back anymore, and she finally voiced out her thoughts while her gaze was fixed on the dishes that Caesar was peeling. "Am I seeing it right? Is Caesar really caring and being attentive towards Brae, and Brae is just letting h

Today is our last day at the resort, and happily, Raine and Tyler have finally decided to join us, reducing the amount of time Caesar and I were alone together, which also reduced the amount of time I could hear Caesar's hair-raising romantic words flowing out of his mouth.Breakfast was served to the four of us in the morning, with Caesar paying close attention to me as usual. Then we went kayaking again, but this time Raine was with me, which was exactly what I had hoped for in the first place. Caesar was with Tyler, and their boat was a mess, with them arguing again and again. Raine and I tried to scold them, but they didn't listen, so we just let them be, and Raine and I chose to enjoy ourselves instead.Except for Raine, we tried paddleboarding after kayaking, which I thoroughly loved. Following the paddleboarding, we went snorkeling, which I also loved.We grabbed lunch and rested for a while after snorkeling before deciding to undertake more activities with the other guests, su

But my prayer was not answered the next morning. As soon as I left my room, I saw Caesar in the living room, having coffee and chatting with Papa.They both turned to face me with smiles on their lips, though Caesar's was bigger."Good morning, dear." Papa greeted me.I returned Papa's smile and approached him, kissing his cheek and greeting him, "Good morning, Papa.""Good morning, Brae."I raised my brows in response to Caesar's greeting. "What brings you here so early? It's only seven o'clock in the morning." I questioned him without bothering to return his greeting."I have something important to tell your parents." He replied, still smiling.My brow furrowed even more. "How important is it that you tell my parents that you can't wait any longer and have come this early? It's also Monday. Don't you have to go to work?""I'm on a month's vacation and don't have to go to work. As for why I'm here this early, well, I'm too excited (and nervous) to wait any longer and just had to tell

My ass felt like it was on fire as I sat restlessly while my parents stared at me.Caesar just left, and now my folks are starting to interrogate me with so many questions."Why didn't you let us know last night that Caesar has confessed to you and is already courting you?" Mama's first question to me. "Brae, I know you're old enough, but I wish you'd give your father and me some consideration. You and Caesar surprised us! If you had told us last night, we would have been more prepared, unlike a while ago when I didn't know whether to be startled, upset with you, or delighted that someone had finally come to this house to tell us that they wanted to pursue you."Papa agreed with Mama and nodded. "What's more shocking than the fact that someone finally told us that he wanted to pursue you is the fact that that someone is Caesar. We wouldn't have had such a strong reaction if it had just been another man pursuing you, but it wasn't. It's Caesar, your childhood and closest buddy whom we

"Where will you take me?" I asked Caesar as I looked at the scenery we were passing by through the car window."Secret," he said while smiling.I rolled my eyes. "Secret, my ass. Just tell me where you'll take me." I looked at him this time. "Don't tell me you'll take me to a five-star hotel or restaurant. Because that is so cliche.""Don't worry. I won't take you to either of those." He spoke, the smile on his face remaining.I couldn't help but raise my brows upon hearing his answer. "Really?"Caesar hummed while nodding as an answer.My brows raised even more. Well, that's surprising.I thought he was that kind of guy who loves pleasing women by taking them to extravagant places.I shrugged and said, "Whatever."Caesar did not respond to that, though his smile got bigger, looking so excited.I just shook my head and went back to looking at the scenery outside of the car window.The drive towards wherever he wanted to take me became quiet, but it wasn't awkward like when we went to

"Eat slowly, Brae. You won't run out of food," Caesar said while staring at me with an amazed expression on his face.I swallowed what I was eating first before answering, "I told you I am starving.""Yes, I know you are very hungry, but still, eat slowly. What if you get choked with all the food you are pouring inside your mouth?""I would really choke if you wouldn't shut the hell up and let me enjoy my food peacefully."A sigh came out of Caesar's mouth as he shook his head, a sign of defeat. He has finally given up on lecturing me.Caesar really did become silent, but his eyes never left me, looking at every single thing I did, which annoyed me a little."Is it fun staring at me as I eat?" I asked just after swallowing a chunk of street food, not even looking at him."It is," he answered quickly.I looked at him this time. "What's fun in staring at someone who is eating?""It's only fun because it's you I am staring at. Besides, you seemed to be enjoying all the food we ordered, m

"Hah!" I exclaimed, satisfied, as the cold beer slipped down my throat. "This is so freaking refreshing!""Be honest with me, Brae. Have you been food and liquor-deprived for the past couple of months? Because why do you always eat and drink as if you've been so hungry and so thirsty for alcohol for years?" Caesar questioned with a chuckle."Try being a writer, and you'll know the answer to your question," I replied, my gaze fixed on the big sea in front of us and the cold wind blowing on my face. "I could even count on my fingers the nights where I had a decent sleep and a decent meal since I started writing that newly released novel of mine.""They did not give you a break?" Caesar inquired, his voice full of surprise."My break would be up to me, but I have a deadline to follow. And if I keep taking breaks, there is no way I will reach the deadline to submit my novels. So, I always choose to finish my novels first, then take a long break. But it's been a year since I have taken a l
