Chapter 11 - The Tenth Chapter
(Tara’s POV)
Did I just send him a kiss?
My eyes bugged out, realizing I just did. My cellphone slipped my hand, falling into the shaggy carpet, and I let a scream, a loud one, as I covered my face with my hands.
Stella came running to me as soon as she heard my scream.
“Goodness! What happened?” She asked, her eyes worried as she held my wrist to check on me. “Did you hurt yourself?”
When I shake my head, she releases me and picks up my phone.
I fanned myself with my hands. “I sent a message by mistake.” I groaned.
“I thought something had happened to you,” She heaved a sigh of relief and gave my phone back to me.
I slump to the sofa and look at her. “You’re early,” I said.
She shakes her head. “No, you’re early,” she sits down and takes her laptop out of her bag. She places it on the center table, and after

The Perfect Lie Chapter 12 - Sam and Blake
(Tara’s POV)11:56 p.m.My eyelids are closing already. I blink twice before standing up and rewarding myself with a good yawn. These are when I do not need to worry about the next day because I hit my target, and I can reward myself with long hours of sleep.I get my cellphone and walk like a zombie going to my bedroom. I have no strength to draw, but I take my notebook and gaze at Blake’s face. Sometimes, it sucks to have a photographic memory, but at times like this, I appreciate it. It makes me forget how awful and unfair life is.Perhaps Blake is a sleep stealer because I don’t feel sleepy anymore when I look at his face. I open my drawer and take the pencil. I flip the pages and start sketching. I was too engaged in my drawing that I realized who I was drawing when I finished constructing the lines and startrealizedefine the head shape.John.I press my lips and look heavenward, hoping it would stop m
The Perfect Lie Chapter 13 - The Girl in the Pantry
(Blakes’s POV)Samantha pushes the glass door. She was laughing at me as I tried to do my necktie. “Come here, handsome guy, let me strangle you,” she says. We stop just by the door while she fixes the knot of my necktie.“You know I hate wearing this. Remind me again, why do I have to wear this today, Sam?”Before she could answer, we jerked to the voice we heard.“S-sam?”My forehead furrowed. I turn my head to the familiar sound, the voice that I have been longing to hear since I woke up this morning. My mouth half-opens when I see Tara standing in front of us, her pale face tells me she has finally learned the truth that I am not Sam. Usually, I could think of millions of excuses, but not today.“Tara?” Samantha recovers quickly from that shocking moment. She flickers her eyes to me, and seeing my face, she assumes she is right. She taps my necktie and walks to her. &
The Perfect Lie Chapter 14 - Getting Even
(Blakes’s POV)I shake my head and take a deep breath. Did I just dream of holding and kissing Tara? My heart is thumping hard inside my chest as I walk closer to her. She is like a child trying to get cookies in a jar, but the mom placed it at the top of the cabinet.She gasped when I leaned closer to her. I can’t believe it was the same potent feeling as I had imagined. The moment I smell her sweet strawberry scent, the desire in me awakens, but as I put my hand on her hips and reach for the jar, she froze.I release her and move to the table to place the jar. We are standing facing each other with a table in between us.“Thanks,” She says, her face red. “Sorry about that. I could not decide what to eat, but Stella and I like Caramel bar so much,”I smile, opening the jar and pushing it gently to her.She takes one bar, but she does not leave her eyes on me as she bites on the bread. I g
The Perfect Lie Chapter 15 - Testing The Curse
(Blakes’s POV)The weather has been friendly to me today. As soon as Tara decided to go home, a localized storm brought heavy rain with lightning and thunder. I thanked heaven for her small bag and for forgetting her umbrella at home. More so, I thanked Samantha for bringing Sean today despite our busy schedule. I was able to hold her longer today than the last time.Even my teleconference meeting today was shorter than I expected. I had to take it, though, to the conference room instead of my office. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, it was still raining, and I felt relief when I saw Tara and Sean playing in the lounge.She glances at me, but that is just it. I walk past them and step outside the patio. I had to shower and change clothes. If not for Tara, I would want to go to Bali to relax. A day or two at Liberty Wreck would be fine.When I come back, Sean is now laying his back on the L-shape sofa, his head on Tara&rsquo
The Perfect Lie Chapter 16 - The Accident
(Tara’s POV)Stella is freaking out, but my heart is about to burst out because of my stupidity. This morning when his lips touch mine, I can not deny the longing of tasting his kiss. If Samantha did not show up, I would drown in him, and who knew what would happen next. That breathless few seconds brought fever to every part of my body.Just a while ago, I did another stupid thing. I only meant to tease him, but I felt like I fell into the right place when I fell into his lap, in his arms. I was lost when he wrapped his arms around me. Heat crept through me, making me ached for him and yearning for another kiss. When our eyes met, I wished to ask him many questions, but I was afraid to hear the answers. I don’t want to be one of the many on his list. I don’t even know him. I shouldn’t even be here in the first place.Damn that smile! When he smiled, showing me those p
The Perfect Lie Chapter 17 - Problem Solved
(Tara’s POV)I called Gianna, and she explained everything in between her cries. I was sitting on the sofa, still shocked and unable to move, trying to think where to get money for the hospital bills. No one will shoulder the cost since it was a hit-and-run case. Although Stella assured me she would do something, I felt helpless and powerless about our present situation.Stella is facing her computer now, probably checking her account. We need quite an enormous amount of money for Ivana’s operations, and it has to be done soon in a big hospital.When I stand up, Stella raises her head and gives me a hopeful smile. “Don’t worry, Tara, I’ll do everything I can to get the amount we need by tomorrow. Just give me time to pool the resources,”“I...” I have no one to go to. This is one of the times when I wish John and I are still together. We did not experience t
The Perfect Lie Chapter 18 – Not In the Usual Self
(Tara’s POV) Did we just solve our problem? Stella squealed and hugged me. I remained standing, blinking, thinking of Blake. If I didn’t see the car leaving, I would go outside and run to him. “OMG, Tara!” She said, leaning on the sofa. “The heaven must have heard your prayers.” Then she glances at me. “What did you do at the convenience store, by the way? Why did it take you long to come back?” Her nose crinkles, then sniff. I got conscious that I had to move back. “What?” My eyelashes flutter as I tilt my head to smell my shoulder. “Did you buy a new perfume?” She eyed me, then shook her head. “Never mind.” She looked on her side, groping her phone that fell on the sofa. I bite my lips. Being too close with Blake, the addicting scent of his perfume must have stuck on my shirt... and hair. Wow! I should ask him next time what perfume he uses. It did really stick in my shirt and hair, probably even in
The Perfect Lie Chapter 19 – Turning World Upside Down
(Tara’s POV)“Tara, you’re...you’re early,” He stammers, his face turning pale like he stops breathing for a few seconds.I was sure my face was red. I could feel the heat creeping through my skin as I saw Blake wearing nothing except the lightweight towel hugging his hips. Like him, I stopped breathing. His hair is still dripping wet, looking like a model of expensive male perfume. I swallowed hard as my eyes feasted on his well-developed physique. How could heaven give this man a perfect body? This is one of those moments that I would want to open Google to look for a better word to describe him at this moment. Hunk? Sexy? A very sexually attractive man.“Hi!” I said, staring at the ceiling and pressing my lips. If I look down, my eyes would again wander from his face down to his hips, and I would imagine thousands of things that I shouldn’t be thinking.&
