That Summer I met Him 13
•••Chapter ThirteenALEXThree weeks passed by quickly and I can't believe it that summer was about to end. It sucks to think that I'm already going to college after two weeks.Me and Caiden are now officially couples. I really like him when he was being romantic. He was a bitter sweet guy, most of the time he was in his 'mini office' doing his own business. He's so workaholic. He's focused at it like it was a routine rather than a job he was required to do. He was busy and I understand it. Most of the time, I was with Lilia in the kitchen. She taught me how to bake and cook Italian food. Every afternoon, me and Cade go around the town riding our bikes. We enjoyed each other’s presence and it help us to relax.As we returned, dinner was prepared and all of us will have our dinner with Lilia and Mike, Caiden's PA. We will help on the dishes and after that watch a movie together.We sleep together but on our own side of the bed. We are always conscious of our position but as soon as

•••Chapter FourteenALEXIt's my first day of college. I was brought to school by Lisa. I'm not that happy for the last two week sbecause I didn't get to see Caiden. He rarely called, scratch that, he never called until now.I'm pretty sad because of his lack of attention to me. I know his busy but still, I miss him. I don't want to accept it at first but as the minutes passed by, the feeling of being alone scared me. I remembered our summer vacation of which we spent together quarrelling, snapping at each other. We can't even stay in the same room together but as the time passed, we realize that we aren't complete without each other's presence.It's stupid when I think of all those fights we had because of those little things. I might think I've gone crazy if I saw myself what I've been doing now. Thinking about him, the devil who made me cry, which was the one who also healed me, comfort me and is the one who made me forget about Dwayne, was just unexplainable.He was my worst ene

•••Chapter FifteenALEXI opened my door in a hurry, afraid that it was Lisa. It's Sunday after all and she needed to check up on me before week days rolls in. I look at the shadows and was yank outside."Who are you?" I look at the man and was terrified by his appearance. He has bloodshot eyes, scarred forehead and the rest of his face was covered in a black piece of cloth hiding his full identity. He also wore a black coat and a hat. “Are you from a Halloween party?" I controlled the giggle that almost escapes from my lips. He smirked at me and pointed a knife on my neck.“C'mon bitch, I don't have all day to listen to you" He grabbed my wrist and yank me farther."What are you doing? Someone HELP M-" He dragged me off to the road and cover my mouth with his large hands."Hmm, hmmph!mmht!" There was a cloth pressed on my nostrils that made me calm it also stops me from clawing the face of this stupid person who was now kidnapping me."Hold on, girl. Boss told us that He really wan

Chapter SixteenANDRE"Bye Dave, see you tomorrow""Mate, just ring me if you need something, okay?" Dave grinned at me as I headed to my car.“I’ll put that on mind" The both of us laughed as he headed in the store beside ours.“‘You sure won't ride with me?" I ask, turning back at the old man who is already making his way up the stairs.“No Andre, my son will fetch me here."“Okay then. Just stay safe, okay?" he wave his hands and I wave at him before staring the engine.What a day. The restaurant I was working at was doing great. It's not necessary for me to work actually but I'm bored staring at my walls.I turned on the radio and listen to it. My head was bobbing with the beat when I saw a silhouette of a body on the side of the road.I slowed down and stepped out. Taking cautious steps unto it, just to make sure that there's no danger, I squinted my eyes and crouched down. Hmm, it's a girl and she's bleeding. I rolled the girl and gasped.It's her, it's LEX!"Lex! Lex, open your

Chapter SeventeenCAIDENI woke up with the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned and check on it. "Aye dude, your father wants to talk to you later, they wanna catch up on you for brunch. Your mother called me to inform you""Okay Nate, I'll just take a bath and-""Okay, okay. I understand that you are still in the hospital. Did she, uh woke up already?""Well, she hasn’t. She's still asleep as before""Oh, sorry." He apologize before going silent"its okay dude, see you later" I hang up on him. My head hurts a little from the drink I had last night, not to mention the fight I have with Anderson.I glanced at her sleeping form and kiss each of her fingers " Hey there Sweet cheeks. Good morning I, I love you." I was shocked at my own words. I nuzzled my head on her hand and held it close. "I'm sorry if I tried to get away from you. I thought I am going to change what I feel but I know that I can't. I'm sorry, really truly sorry. I promise that I'll make it up to you as soon as you wake

Chapter EighteenALEXI struggled through my zip and let out a frustrated growl. "Urrggh! Caiden, Can you please help me?" I ask as I tried to reach out and zip the remaining two inches."What?" He opened the door abruptly and that made me squeak in surprise."God! Don't you know how to knock?""Well, you're the one who needed help. So, what am I going to do?" I look down and tried to hide my blush. "Uhmm, I can't" I cleared my throat and continued "I can't zip it" I turned my back to him and heard him intake a deep breath and let it out loudly.An awkward silence lingered around us. The brush of his fingers on my back sent shivers down on my spine. Oh well, he's my fiancé after all, the one I love but I still can't believe it. I still can't believe that I fall in love into this jerk, cold-hearted asshole. I couldn’t remember much about the past five months and that frustrates me more than ever. My thoughts were interrupted when he suddenly lifted my chin with his finger and brushed h

Chapter NineteenALEX“Gosh! I'm pretty sure Caiden will keep you tonight" Kathy giggled as she passed me another lingerie which I disposed back into its rack."There's no use for me to wear this Kathy, you know that. He would never take a second glance at my body""Geez, you're not that crazy are you. He's been always protective at you and the way he warned Chris. I know that he really want you. You just don’t acknowledge him that is why." I snorted at her comment and went into the other store."Hey, how about the surprise you are telling me. Where is it, Kathy?" My attention was now focus at her and not in those stupid lingerie."Well, I'm sorry but I think uh-Maybe this summer. I'll give you the surprise this summer." She grinned sheepishly at me."But why?" I gave her my cutest pout trying to make her sway."Oh, just drop it." I drop the bag and she sighed "Not that of course. The conversation I should say" "Okay" I continue to pout, dragging the bags behind. It took us the whole

Chapter TwentyCAIDENI arrived at three in the morning. I pass the key to the valet and made my way to the elevator. I can feel my eyes slowly shutting and I am glad when I arrived at my floor. I opened the door and was surprised because there's a wet shoe beside it. "Alex?" Why is it that there's no light here? That girl, she's always irresponsible. She even left the dishes and her shoes at the living room. I made my way to my room and almost slipped "God, Alex! What have you done here? The floor is wet and my whole house was dirty!" I headed towards our room and found it clean. Well, at least not our room.I headed down to the spare room and found her sleeping on the couch. Piles of brushes were scattered, canvases destroyed and different color of paints splattered the floor.I was so angry and worried at the sight of it. First is that, it's very unlikely for her to act this way. Her canvases are treasure for her. She doesn't even want to show me what it was and another things is
