“You look uneasy, why?”“Because you are staring,” I replied in a barely audible voice. I didn’t know if he heard me or what, but I didn’t give a damn. The man has disturbed my peace of mind since his arrival."You didn't seem to mind your appearance before; why do you appear uneasy now?"Jordan became aware of my discomfort and was impolite enough to inform me of it. Couldn't he just close his mouth? "You make me feel uneasy!" If only you wouldn't steal glances at my cleavage, I'd go change my clothes." I stood up to leave, but he grabbed my hand quickly, and I raised my brows when he did."If you don't want me to look, you should dress decently!"“That’s offensive to say, Jordan!” I told him.After calling out the misappropriate words he uttered, he felt offended and walked away. As a man, he should be saying that kind of nonsense because respecting a woman wouldn’t depend on the clothes she’s wearing.Nevertheless, I felt it was appropriate to follow him inside, and when I couldn’t
I stood frozen in front of the bar for a few minutes, where my friends were waiting for me. It was almost midnight, so the air was a little chilly, especially with the kind of dress they asked me to wear for the night.The dress left my shoulders bare. Instead, it’s supported around my neck and fell into a lovely square neckline. It’s a tight fit which made the dress seem sleek and sophisticated. The sleeves started loose and tightened towards the bottom, making a perfect match with the hue of my ivory complexion. The dress' waist was tiny, yet it was a nice fit. It's not ornamented with anything to produce an elegant, flowing effect.I wore a stiletto because it was a great fit for my attire, and to top it all, I also wore a basic yet fashionable and gorgeous bracelet. Before taking a step forward, I took a deep breath to calm down my nerves. It wasn’t my first time walking into a bar because of my previous job, but it was definitely my first time picking a random man from the bar wh
When he asked me, I had the chance to back out or reverse my statement. Truthfully, he looked different from the person I’d met at the bar earlier, and he behaved differently. Earlier, the man at the bar was also flirting with me, and that’s why my friends believed we would get a room immediately. If only I wasn't terrified when he dared to touch my inner thighs earlier, maybe, the deed was done, and he wouldn’t look scary to me at the moment.Was he sulking because I played hard to get a while ago?“I regret playing hard to get with you, Logan,” I said while trying to take off my clothes one by one, and his eyes widened in disbelief. There was no reluctance in the way I undressed before him.“Wait,” he gestured with his palm to stop me from what I was doing, and I arched my brows in response.“I have no problem with having casual sex, but you are a stranger, and you might be infected with an STD,” he said, and my jaw dropped in astonishment.“One night stands are for strangers, Logan,
My mother decided to leave Claybourne and settle down in Clayland. I protested against it but my mother was so stubborn about her plan to relocate to the countryside. So, I had no choice.As soon as we reached Clayland, there was a huge change in my life. My mother always told me that it was a wise decision to relocate to the province, but I was not convinced at all. I grew up in the modern life of Claybourne City and it was difficult to adjust to the new life in Clayland. I was a city girl, and I loved the nightlife in the city. Honestly, I never expected that for three years, I would be able to survive in the countryside.After our business went bankrupt, we all moved to Clayland. Daddy was devastated, and so was my mom. Then, my older brother decided to try his luck outside the country. Since then, several things have changed in my life. I would admit that it was hard at the beginning, and it got harder as time passed by.A city girl like me use to spend the day in the mall in the m
While I was packing my things, I remembered all the things that happened on the day we arrived in Clayland. I was not the happiest when we had to move to the countryside but my mother was so adamant about it.****I stared blankly at my room. The pink wall, the expensive decorations, the spacious room that I'm used to having. I never imagined that in an instant, everything would be taken away from me.My comfortable life was now gone and it's all gone!I suddenly sat on the floor, silently lost in thought. Even the mansion that we owned has been sold to pay off all our debts.I felt my nanny’s hug from behind. She's the person I spent the most time with. And now, amidst our bankruptcy, my Nanny has to leave."Nanny..." I couldn't help but rest my head on her chest. It's just too hard for me.She comforted me by caressing my back. "It's okay, my child. Everything will be fine. This is just a test for your family. The higher power knows that you didn't have anything to do with that scam
I woke up drenched in sweat. I noticed that the two electric fans weren't working. And because of that, I remembered my new life. I scratched my head in frustration!I ended up with this kind of life. I simply cannot imagine waking up every day with this horrible situation. It's just not for me. I hope my dad could fix this as soon as he could.It's so early, but I'm sweating so much right now. No air conditioning, right?I left my room. I wanted to wash up and brush my teeth, knowing that the water pipe in my bathroom was still broken.I approached Mom in a sulking matter. I'm rotten spoiled, so what? This is not the life I was accustomed to. Then, when I saw what was prepared on the table for breakfast, it was my last straw!"Mom! What is this? No air conditioning? No shower room, no walking closet, no pool! Mom, I don't think I can handle this kind of life. Let's just go back to Claybourne! I will die here!” I complained nonstop but my mother just stared at me in disbelief.When I
I looked into his eyes again to see if there was some sign that he remembered me, but unfortunately, there wasn’t! I groaned in frustration that all those months that I have wasted to daydream about Logan was useless.Since that night, I couldn’t forget his face. His lustful eyes haunted me in my dreams, and his tantalizing voice kept bothering me in my sleep. Earlier, when Alice told me that half of Clayland was owned by Logan’s family, I didn’t think I would meet the Logan I slept with in a hotel.When I heard his name, from his mouth again, cold shivers ran down my spine, but of course, I couldn’t let that jerk see my weakness. For the record, even though I was in his territory, he had no right to invade my privacy. Right? Oh well, I don’t know anymore. If he didn’t remember me, then fine! I could just act like a complete stranger to him!"And so?" I retorted sharply. He stood there, so arrogant and proud. He looked at me as if I had committed the worst crime in the world. How self
I woke up from that incredibly weird dream. Is that a damn wet dream? About that guy?I couldn’t believe it, and I couldn’t accept it either! I couldn’t believe that I was kissing that guy in my dream. Like hello! I never dreamed of having a wet dream for a guy like him.And thanks to Alice's loud mouth, I woke up. This is the first time her blabbering has been useful."Good morning! You look fresh," she said to me with a smile. Is this girl bored or something?"And what's with the noise?" I asked her."Guess what? The enrollment has been rescheduled! Let's go to school today," Alice said to me as if there was something exciting about enrolling.I looked at my wristwatch. "It's only seven in the morning. You're too excited for nothing.""Hey, this is nothing. Don't you have a crush yet? I haven't seen Andrew for so long, gosh! I miss him," she said with a giggle. "Miss him."I just shook my head while choosing my outfit. Maybe I'll get ready around 9 in the morning."Okay, let's go en
