Five: To be with you twenty-four seven
Shane's POV
I couldn’t sleep well tonight, it’s been a couple of weeks since I got to know that I am engaged with some random stranger.
Today is the last day of summer vacation and I am currently forcing myself to sleep so I won’t be late for my class the next day.
It sucks that after all the crying and sobbing due to the countless thoughts that are running on my head about my future, I still couldn’t sleep. I pulled my comfy blanket and covered myself underneath it. I picked up the earphone on my desk beside my bed and plugged them into my phone. I played the music of a band called the Coldplay and finally found myself slowly drifting to the dreamland.
“Ma’am Shane, are you already awake?”
The loud knock and call of the familiar voice of Becca, our housemaid, woke me up. I reached for my pillow and embrace it.
“Yes, I’m awake. I’ll be downstairs in a minute.&rdq

Shane's POVI sat on the corner of the cafeteria, the words of Erwan Fuenter repeatedly echoing on my head.“I can’t stand missing you every day, so I did the privilege of enrolling here to be with you twenty-four seven.”Argh! That asshole. How dare he mess with my mind? And why the freaking fudge I am thinking about him?I sighed in frustration and opened my mouth wider to chunk the handful of grilled cheese sandwich into it, I reached for the french fries and dipped it on sundae before finally savoring it. I was about to grab my hamburger filled with ham and egg when Jase suddenly spoke from behind.“Slow down, will you? No one’s going to snatch your food.” I glanced at him and saw that he is quietly biting an apple—the only food that he ordered. Is he on a diet? Or is he trying to be healthy by living with the quote that one apple a day chases the doctor away? Hmph.“Don’t even talk t

Shane's POV “Do I have to answer that? I am her fia-” I grabbed the color of Erwan’s shirt, the man who rescued me from the jerk and mistakenly thought as Jase, He is an inch taller than me, so I had to tiptoe a little to reach his face, I almost sniggered when I saw the shook on his eyes by the time our lips met each other. I kissed him before he can say anything else. No one can know that he is my fiancé, I don’t want to be the center of gossip in school. I saw the jerk who harassed me not too long ago walk away while scratching the back of his head annoyingly. The crowd also returned to what they were doing thinking that we are just a couple hooking up with each other. I was about to let go of our kiss upon seeing that everything is settled but he held my waist closer to him which deepened our kiss. I was going out of breath and needed some air, but he still wouldn’t budge. I pushed his chest away from me but he wouldn’t stop so I stepped o

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

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

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

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,

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
