That Summer I met Him 9
•••Chapter NineALEXThe wind blew on my hair and I squint my eyes for I don't want dust getting in it. I pulled out my handkerchief and tied it around my neck. Caiden looked at me and laugh. "Why are you laughing?!" I asked while looking at him incredulously."It's just, you look like a cowboy, with the wind effect, the handkie and your hair…" he said between fits of laughter. Well, I just brush him off and look at the sceneries as we passed by.My feet were sore because of standing too long in the back of this jeep. In the corner of my eyes, I could see Caiden leaning in the back of the jeep, probably dozing off.The reason why the two of us was here is because we picked the two short sticks and all I know is that it is planned.I wonder where we are going, Brighton beach was not far from here but we are travelling for about an hour already. The jeep stopped in front of a regular beach house which was designed with a very homey feeling. I jumped off and got my duffel bag. I traile

•••Chapter TenALEX "Dwayne, help me. Help!" I keep on asking for help but it seems that no one can hear me and everything went black.A hand snatched my arm from the water and carried me. I knew that he was the one who saved me because my body knew that it's him. I can feel the sand beneath me he put me down on the shore.I tried to cough the water out but my body is stubborn to do so. I can hear him barking orders around while he called for our parents."Alex, I'm here come on wake up, open your eyes little star, open it."I was about to open it when I was suddenly blinded by the bright light.•••I can feel the lips that were on top of mine and so I open my eyes in a hurry. My vision was a little bit blurry and I needed to blink rapidly for my eyes to adjust. I saw a face, that very familiar face and hugged him."Dwayne, I knew that you'll come back." I sighed and cried on his shoulders"Sweet cheeks, how many times do I have to say that I'm not Dwayne?" well, that snap me out of

•••Chapter ElevenALEXI opened my eyes to see a smirking Caiden looking down at me. I look around me, looking for Jacob and Nate but they aren't here. The devil’s face made my hands itch and I didn't think twice to slap that smirk off his face. "Hmm, is that the proper way to thank me?" he raise a delicate eyebrow as he look at me."You're the reason why I fell!" I rolled my eyes, wriggling on his arms."Yeah, I know. I know that you really did fall for me." he smirk."Urgh!" I wriggled more until he sat down unto a chair with me on his lap. I look at him ridiculously as he suddenly rise a spoonful of froot loops on my mouth." Eat, dolcezza" Before I protest, he shoved the spoon on my mouth and scooped another one for him.I didn't have time to say anything for he kept on shoving spoon after spoon. We finished it together, him smirking at me and me wriggling, trying to find escape from this iron-like grip.He stood up and carried me to our room. I watched him open the door with me

•••Chapter TwelveCAIDEN"Hey sweet cheeks, I need you to get up now or else, you don't want what I'll do to you" With that I sat up and that made our foreheads bang together. "You really are a hard headed" he muttered under his breath but I still heard it loud and clear.I stood up and look around. We're not on a yacht anymore and not in the beach house also. He stood up and tugged at my hand. We entered another sliding door and there in front of me I saw a plane."Hey, are we on an airport?" I asked him."Hello? Didn’t you notice it we're in front of a plane now.""But how?""I carried you from the yacht to my car and to here and you didn't show any sign that you'll wake up. You sleep like a bear and so I decided to just take you myself without even bothering to ask some help from the guys, for I know they are tired""Why? Why do we need to board the plane now?""Too much questions. I don't wanna hear anything from you, just go up there and I'm going to explain to you when we lande

•••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

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
