"Amara, are you okay?" Harrold's voice made me come back to my senses.
"Uh, y-yes!""Let's go?"I nodded and rode behind him. I placed both hands on both of his shoulders for support. I think it's too awkward to hold me by his waist.He started the engine and drove away. I didn't even bother to look at Raxon myself because I'm sure he'll just give me a cold look."At the end of La Teresita is their house," I said to Harrold. Maybe he doesn't know where we're going."Yes ma'am!" He made a strong promise and then laughed. I couldn't help but smile. But that smile also disappeared immediately when I remembered Raxon's expression earlier. It's like he's angry. The little guy will run out of patience.But the question is, why did he looked at me like I'm the one who's making him mad?I finally decided to put it out of my mind. I don't want my head to be filled of thoughts about him.Just ten minutes later we reachedRaxon Bermudez riding in a black stallion looks so devilishly handsome and mercilessly hot. His skin is shining in broad daylight as the rays of the sun kissed his perfect face. My crazy heart beat faster. I don't know why. I don’t know why every time his dangerous eyes look at me it seems like something in my system is going crazy. I can't control the erratic beating of my heart. I can't even control myself from looking at those dark cold eyes. His eyes are telling me that he's not the typical man that would love a woman darely. Those eyes tell me you don’t want to fight him in any aspect. Those eyes are shouting with authority, telling me that he is so untouchable and dangerous. "Sissy .." I came to my senses when I heard Lalaine standing next to me. "H-Ha? Are you saying something?" He blinked. "I said, let's go for a walk. In case you just saw Raxon, you're stunned there as if you didn't know." "
The rays of the rising sun hit my face as the wind danced my long hair. I straightened my hair before riding a tricycle to school. "Good morning Amara!" greetings to driver Mang Jose. He was one of the customers at our karenderia and a friend of papa then. "Good morning too." That scenario started my beautiful day. I don't know but I feel like I'm in a good mood right now. Maybe because it's Monday and my brain is still fresh. What happened on Saturday suddenly came to my mind. I’ll admit, I enjoyed being with Raxon up there on the hill. What things we talked about all day. And for the first time, I feel so happy just by being with someone I barely know. "Hi sissy!" Lalaine greeted me. As soon as he smiled, I knew he had a lot to ask. It's definitely about what happened on Saturday. "How are you? What happened?" he asked as I sat in my chair. He was really anxious to get information. I sighed a
After the second quarter examination, the number of school works increased even more. It's the third quarter so the teachers are starting to give a lot of outputs and projects. Add more research so I focus more on learning. Over the past few Saturdays that’s always been what Raxon and I have been doing. We go up the hill and he takes me on his horseback. Also over the next few weeks I got to know him even better. In fact, little by little, I became more and more comfortable with him and sometimes I was no longer nervous. That means, I'm getting comfortable with him. Often, he would take me home. But because of his busyness in college life, I sometimes go home alone. Mama also noticed that someone would often deliver me so I just said it was my friend. He asked if he was one of my lovers but I said no. Never in my wildest dreams I thought of Raxon courting me. A man like him will never like someone as low as me. I know he only considers me a friend and I
I walked quickly to the gate because it was starting to mist again. I don't know what's going on in the weather today and from yesterday until now it's raining. I don't have an umbrella yet. I almost ran when I felt the mist increase. I don't want my uniform to be wet before class starts. I'm sure I'll just look like a wet chick by chance. I was in the middle of running and walking when suddenly someone accompanied me. I looked at who it was and saw only Mike. I thought who that was. He's smiling widely while his hand is holding an umbrella. "Thank you Mike." "When the weather is like this, you should always carry an umbrella. You might even get sick." "I'm not sick so it's okay." Mike was kind. That's a fact. Also handsome and responsible. He has no flaws. But other than the fact that I don’t want to enter into a relationship yet I don’t really feel any different from him. I like him, alright. But I
I briskly walked into the classroom. It's Friday and the last day of January. I straightened my hair and suddenly stopped. I was even in the hallway of the building when the faces of senior women greeted me. I don't know them but based on their uniform it is obvious that they are seniors. What are its problems and does it seem angry to me? "Amara Francesca Acosta. Is that right?" promise the woman in the middle. She raised one eyebrow and her face was full of lipstick. "It's me. Is there a problem?" I asked calmly even though I felt that those in front of me were just basagulera. "Yes there is. You." "Huh?" I don't understand them. I don't even know them and then they say I'm their problem? Are they kidding me? "How are you and Raxon and he always delivers you? Are you his girlfriend or what?" I smirked. That's the only reason. Raxon. The narrowness of the brains of people to oh. You thought something would chan
I stayed silent while he's caressing my hair. I don't know but the fear I felt subsided because of his hug. I feel safe and calm in his arms. I don't know how he knew where I am, but still, I am so thankful that he arrived. I'm thankful that someone else cares about me like this. He pulled away from me and looked at my face. He then wiped the trail of tears in my face. "Fuck." he crispy cheap. "I really hate looking at your tears." Even though what had happened recently was still fresh in my mind, I was still able to smile at him. "T-Thank you .. Rax." He didn't smile back nor say anything. He still looked dark and serious. My lips parted when in a flash he was able to carry me. His muscles flexed as he carried me in a bridal style. I want to contradict but I'm physically and emotionally tired to do so. I looked at him. Our gazes met that made my heart beats so fast. Too fast I can't seem to breathe. Our gaze was cut off as he looked ahead and
"Are you okay?" Raxon asked concerned. The police only left after I gave my own statement. I got carried away that's why I was a little bit emotional. I nodded. Behind him were mama and aunt who were worriedly looking at me. They didn't open the karenderia first to get my attention. "You sure?" "Yeah." I sigh. "By the way will Clifford be imprisoned? I guess he's just a minor." "That asshole is not a minor Amara. He's already eighteen." I breathed a sigh of relief at what he said. I really won't let that man go unaccountable for the sin he committed against me. "He really should just be locked up!" si tiya. Raxon stood up. His eyes are still on me. "I'll go ahead. Take a rest." he promised before facing mama. "I'll be the first." Aunt Delia smiled while mama nodded expressionlessly. He didn't even look at Raxon as if that was the thing he hated to do the most. What's wrong?
The mellow music made me feel calm. It is good to hear and very comforting to feel. I sip pineapple juice while watching the dancers in the hall. I guess, they're having so much fun. Well, that's really the purpose of it isn't it? To enjoy. I am just sitting here at a corner when Mike blocked my sight. "May I have this dance?" he said all at once with his hand. It even knows a little bit like what princes do in disney movies. "Of course Mike." I smiled and gave my hand to him. We walked towards the hall and mingled with the dancers there. The lights are dim but I still saw how his brown eyes twinkled in happiness. I could feel his nervousness as he carefully placed his hand on my waist. I smiled and put my hands on his nape as we start to follow the rhythm of the soft music. "You're nervous." I stated. "Sobra." I chuckled. I don’t know but I’m comfortable with him. In fact, I’m not as nervous a
