Eight: The Suitor
Shane’s POV
“Hello?” I heard Olivia’s voice on the other side of the phone, her tone sounded like she just woke up from her deep slumber.
“Hey, Oliv. What are you doing for today?”
“I’m planning to sleep all day, baby Shane.” She mumbled.
“Oh, okay.”
“Why? Do you want me to come over?” she asked, probably feeling guilty.
“No, no, I was just checking out on you to ask what you are up to.” I shook my head as if she can see me.
“The first week of being a sophomore took all of my energy, it was super exhausting. I got no plans for this Saturday but to sleep.”
My imagination tells me that she is rolling herself on her blanket as she spoke to me. I heard her yawned and I took that as a signal to bid her my goodbye and threw my phone on the bed.
I dived and on the queen-sized bed of my room and stared at the ceiling, gues

Shane's POVI locked the door of my room and made my way downstairs. I saw the figure of a man standing in the living room, his back facing me. His tall posture that goes well with his broad shoulder and well-built back made me recognized him. My face eventually turned into a frown. It’s the weekend, can’t he leave me alone for once?“Tell me, what kind of plan are you trying to pull for today?” I said which made him turned towards me.He flashed a smile.“Are you going somewhere?” he asked instead of answering my question. He looked at me from head to toe as if studying my body. I am wearing a denim jacket and a black crop top underneath it.“No, I just like wearing a denim jacket inside the house,” I remarked sarcastically and went to the kitchen to fill my thirsty lungs.“That’s a very interesting hobby of yours, Ms. Croven.”I poured some water into the glass
The Fake Engagement Ten: The black outfit guy
Shane's POV I inhaled the refreshing scent of wind as I drove my car on the street. The nearest mall is just a ten minute drive from our home so I took my time and relaxed my back on the seat while humming happily. I got off my car upon reaching my destination and went inside the mall. I took an elevator and pressed for the third floor, the door was about to close when a man wedge his arm in between the elevator door causing it to suddenly stop. He ignored me and head inside. He is wearing a whole black outfit; his muscular and tall figure reminded me of the gunman that I often watched in televisions. He seems harmless and I doubt that he is a gunman. He is also wearing a black cap which completed his whole black outfit, I looked down to see if he is wearing a black shoes and I chuckled upon seeing that he is indeed wearing one. I noticed from the corner of my eyes that he is staring at me as if questioning why I am laughing. I cleared my throat, suddenly emb
The Fake Engagement Eleven: She screams beauty
Erwan’s POVI was scrolling on my phone while sitting in the school’s cafeteria when Rodrick’s number pops into my phone. I swipe the screen with my long finger and answered the call.“Erwan, dude!” he greeted.“Have you ever run out of energy, Rodrick? You’re always full of it.” I remarked while unwrapping a lollipop from my pocket and savored it inside my mouth.“Dude, I am just too excited to tell you that we will be having a party at a bar uptown later this night. I am sure you will come, right?”He never gets tired of parties.“Tell me a reason why I should go.”“Aside from the hot chicks, it’s my baby’s birthday, dude!”I caught a brunette girl staring in my direction as if studying me. She waved and looked at me flirtingly when our gaze met. I remove the lollipop from my mouth and smiled at her. After a moment, I saw her spran
The Fake Engagement Twelve: Acting Innocent
Shane’s POV“Baby Shane, please give us a heads up if you’re going to kiss a random guy tonight so we won’t be too shocked.” Olivia teased while placing a few strands of hair beneath my ear.“Oliv’s right. You should warn us or something so we will be mentally prepared to witness a wild night.” Jase barked in.“Don’t forget to record it on your phone, just for future references.” Oliv casually said to him.“Great idea, Olivia. Don’t worry, I will make sure to record it.”They talked as if this is just a normal conversation for the both of them.“Wow, you’re actually planning that whole thing with me in front of you? Are you really my friends?”“Of course, we are your friends. Can’t you feel that we are very supportive with everything you do?”We are on our way to the bar uptown because Olivia,
The Fake Engagement Thirteen: Come with me tonight
Shane's POV“So, you’re a fan of playing temple run?” I heard Erwan asked. When I turned to him, I noticed that he is peering on the screen of my phone.“You should learn to respect other people's privacy by not looking into their phones.” I made a snide remark.I slammed my phone shut and stuffed it into my black handbag because I knew I couldn't concentrate on the game with this man staring at the screen all the time. I turned my attention to the party people on the dance floor, their hips swaying wildly to the rock music.“I wasn't expecting you to be here,” Ewan said quietly.“Are you sure you did not come here because you were following me? Come to think of it, I did tell you a while ago that I will be attending a party tonight here uptown with my friends.” I returned his whisper and turned to face him, making sure that the others cannot hear us.“I was not aware that you were
The Fake Engagement Fourteen: The attack
Shane’s POVSomething in his eyes tells me he's thinking about something profound... about something really deep. Is there something going on here? He's always seemed carefree and laid-back, but this is the first time I've seen him this way.“What gives you the right to ask me that?” I tried to sound irritated, but deep down, I want him to tell me what's going on.“Nothing. I was just asking.” He let out a shrug. Is this how he behaves when he's drunk?“Guys, Liz and I are leaving now because we have something urgent to do!” Liz was giggling behind Rodrick as he walked into our table. He seemed elated. He looks really, really pumped.“I know what you're going to do, so have a good time,” Erwan stated plainly like this was not a new situation for him.“You know too much about me, man. Enjoy the rest of the night,” Rodrick said, giving him a fist bump and doi
The Fake Engagement Fifteen: Erwan
Erwan’s POV I parked my car outside the mansion of Mr. Croven and went inside to find Shane. It’s almost 7 pm and she mentioned that she will be going to a party uptown with her friends and I am here to pick her up so I can nag her to let me come with her though I will probably insist to come even though she despise it. “Good evening, sir Erwan.” the maid greeted me with a smile when she held the front door open for me. I gave her a friendly smile. “Is Shane still in her room?” I asked, trying to figure out if she is still upstairs and dressing herself. “No, sir. She left half an hour ago with her friends.” “She already left? But I saw her car parked in the parking area.” I ruffled my brows, not liking the situation. Did she take a cab? “Her friends picked her up, sir.” Ah, so she hopped into either Jase or Olivia’s car. I thanked her and turned my back to walk in the direction of my car. If I had known that she will le
