Chapter 18
After 4 days…
I stared at the empty papers at my table, feeling a little empty, feeling like I have been drained. The stories I reviewed we’re already being prepared for publish and now I just want to stare at the vast space and fall to my soft, fuzzy bed. After the night at the house, it just became a week of piled work and I think I’m gonna get sick of speed running the reviews especially when Adam and I have a date tomorrow, well it’s not a date actually.
I think it’s more of a visitation type of thing since we are going to Natalie’s house so I could meet Mr. Leon. Adam also haven’t been staying at the house, he’s still at his hotel and he sometimes just drop by in the office in a very weird way--- he appears out of thin air, always surprising the hell out me.
I suddenly remembered the day, Wednesday, when he just appeared giving me a single rose and a kiss before disappearing away. I pursed m

I had my eyes wide open as I contemplate the stars that shone in the night sky. Natalie took the duty of grilling and I tried helping her but she insisted. Adam went to a store to grab a couple of beer so I was left alone when Leon came and sat down beside me.“How’s the publishing, young lady,” he beamed at me and I smiled at him, I noticed that Natalie got her cheery smiles from Mr. Leon, maybe I just didn’t see him smile before as our boss. “Uhm, it’s better when you were there Mr. Leon,” I giggled and he laughed, shaking his head.“I don’t believe you.” He gazed up the stars stretching his back before complaining about his age. We talked about the publishing and I asked him why he chose me—turns out, what Natalie said was true. Mr. Leon planned it ever since I began giving my opinions, which I thought was just normal for an employee. As we have out meaningful conversation, I remembered

After a week, Adam was too busy managing his businesses or so whatever he's been doing. After we visited Mr. Leon, he drove me home and he didn’t stay by my house. He told me that he'll be busy for a week, and now it's been 6 days of us just texting one another after the beach. It's been one hell of a busy day for me as well, group of distributors came in, trying to make us release some of the books being reviewed and it was stressful. "Eva, do you want coffee?" Natalie barged in with her beautiful innocent smile and was followed by Zach who carried some treasure in his plastic bag. "I think she'll be having soda, Nat." He smiled at her and hands her over one carton of chocolate milk. "This is for you." Natalie's eyes shone like a kid and it made me laugh. The woman who’ll have her will be so lucky. She waved us goodbye before marching out of my office.I beamed at Zach and he did the same with me, lifting the bag for me to get all excited. &nbs

"My house!" I launched in a dramatic entrance, after missing my bed after a busy day. I hum my way inside but my feet stopped when I heard the shower pouring in the bathroom.Adam? Well, he is the only one who can enter here.I bit my lip and my heart went into summersault as I think of him here after a week of not even seeing that bittersweet man. "Adam?" I utter loud, enough for him to hear and leaned my head to lay my ear on the door of the bathroom.Is he done yet?My heart was hammering in my rib and I felt like my sternum cracked when he spoke on the other side, in the hallway. "You're going to kill me." I leaned on the bathroom door, calming my nervous heart down. As I did, my eyes kept looking at the contour of Adam's neck and his wet hair, making my heart more dysfunctional.Down girl.I closed my eyes and waved my hand at him and made a step to go in my room."Did Zach walk you home?" I turned to him as he

Zach tagged along with us as we went to a restaurant. Kate was still a little off again, he made me some chocolates and she’s like this again, but Cathlyn was fine. Zach kept hurdling me beside him, with his body in between me and the girls."What the hell are you doing?" I whispered as he draped his arm on my shoulder keeping me close."Keeping you safe." He winked at me and I rolled my eyes on him and leaned forward to talk to the girls."How are you guys doing by the way?" I beamed at them."Well, I am doing fine," Cathlyn spoke in her calm voice and Kate just smiled, she looked lonely. I escaped Zach's arm and went beside Kate."Are you okay?""Yea, I'm fine. Just tired, I guess." She didn't even bother to look at me.Is she mad at me or anything?I glanced at Cathlyn and she shook her head and gestured me beside her. We continued walking towards the restaurant and we sat together. Zach and I stayed clos

What?A red Mercedes is parked in front of my house and Adam was handsomely leaning on it. As soon as he spotted me, he walked towards me, eyeing me like I am the most beautiful creature he has ever seen. The thought made me want to explode but I disregarded it since it's just a thought."Hello beautiful."I bit my lip to avoid giggling like a teenage girl but his smile made me grin since it was so adorable. He leaned on my ear to whisper, "Glad I know how to stop myself from ripping your dresses off." My eyes widened and I swatted him out of my own consciousness. He lets out a deep chuckle and holds out his hand so I could take it. As I did, he took me to his car, with him glancing at me every second.This is making me even more nervous."Where are we going?" I whispered slowly so that I wouldn't sound so breathless."To a restaurant." He started the engine and I fell silent as I watched the houses we pass by from the window c

I woke up to the motion of the bed, it's like it was floating so I opened my eyes, feeling a weight on my stomach. The sun rays were escaping from the windowpane and the outside was so blue and bright. I squinted my eyes since it was too bright for them but I nearly jumped out of bed when I see Adam naked beside me.What happened!?I gasped in horror, I looked under my blanket and I was wearing Adam's shirt, without my bra, but my panties are on,Thank goodness.I took a peek at Adam and he was still wearing his pants. I let out a sigh of relief but I froze when he opened his eyes to look at me."Well, good morning, Eve. It's been a wild night."What!?"What wild night!?" I chirped in a loud voice and he tilted his head like he was curious or something."You don't remember what happened?" He sat down and his eyes looked shocked that I believed him and I felt angry."Stop shitting with me, Adam!"

All I remember was that I was lying in my bed, completely out of my consciousness. I was tired from the day activities with Adam, so I went to bed as soon as I finished my night wash. When I fell asleep, shrouded voices kept entering my head and it was so nostalgic."I love you, Eve...""And I you, Adam..."Adam and my voice echoed in my ear as images of me and him lying down the flat lively green grasses appeared within me. He still wore the same lovely expression in his face and I can feel my cheeks, as if it was tied up, never falling down due to my grins. He pulled me close to him, tucking my loose strands behind my ear and then whispered some words that were too unclear for me to understand. The images suddenly disappeared and all I can see now is a vast of nothingness. "Is this still a dream?" I walked down the black space and all I can hear is my own breathing and the echoes of every step that I made. I closed my eyes and then everything

"Shit..." My ears were suddenly so clogged and my vision was blurry. It was so darn painful that I can't even open my eyes. I felt so weak but I cannot stay unconscious or else I wouldn't know what happened."There's no use, little flower."Little flower?Who the fuck was that?I do know that voice but why? I turned my back and tried to move but my hands were tied behind my back and I was lying on a cold concrete. When I opened my eyes, everything was blurry but it was clear that I didn’t know where I am. My breaths started to be quicker as my heart pulsates on my body out of fear. Even in this blurry motion, I can see clearly. It was Simon, that fucking weirdo."The fuck do you want?" I uttered, I am deeply unafraid but I was mad. The back of my head stings and I feel like my body was invalid, there was nothing for me to do. But now I know who my killer was, and it gave me some sense of strength to keep my pride."Feis
