"When do you plan to stop drinking?" Auton Smith, one of his friends in college asked when he took another shot of vodka.Carden put the shot glass down and picked the bottle again to pour another one. He was inside one of the VIP rooms in a bar at the central, a few blocks away from Jackie's bar.The room was dark, he was sitting on a U-shaped sofa with Auton and Uno on his opposite sides. They were both his friends from College, the first one was a musician, and the other is Farrah Evan's husband and the new CEO of Pacifica Airlines.Although the thick walls separated them from the loud crowd, the distance was not too far and he could still the fun outside the dull room.They had been drinking now for about an hour, or maybe, he is. He had been here, swi

"Carden let's talk this-" Dalmi stopped her words when she saw what the man was doing.His room was dark and the only source of light was his warm yellow table lamp."W-where are you going?" she asked in a trembling voice.Dalmi thought the space and the throbbing in her heart were already at their worst when Carde yelled at her and walked out while they were talking, but she realized, seeing him changing his clothes with a bag behind him hurt more."W-why are you packing your clothes?"She didn't know that the scenes in soap operas and cliché movies could really happen in real life. She thought those things a wedded couple does like shouting and leaving the house didn't exist in reality because she hasn't seen her parents do that.But now that she was seeing it right in front o her, it felt extremely painful.They had been married for just a month, they haven't even started the story and yet, Carden was already fed up.Carden, st

Carden had been battling between knocking on the door of her room or not. When he drove back to their place, he reminded himself not to say words and just listen carefully. He was blinded by his jealousy towards his brother, and he realized he said a lot of offending words towards her wife, totally cutting her off even before she could explain.Now, he was standing in front of her door, thinking whether he would knock or not. He badly wants to talk about this before tomorrow comes but he was also afraid to wake her up. More so, he wanted to see how she was doing.He left her crying, and she probably continued when he was gone. He sighed and instead, held the doorknob in an attempt to open the door and was surprised when he realized it wasn't locked!His eyes widened, a glint of hope crossed his eyes when he realized...anyone could enter the room because she didn't lock it. This not could be dangerous for her if he didn't come home.Carden glanced at the woman lyi

The calm, morning breeze from their veranda woke up Dalmi from her deep slumber. The mesh curtains, as if they could hear a melody danced with the wind, catching the woman's half-opened eyes as she tried to pull herself up.Her forehead creased as she tugged at the hem of the oversized shirt she wore last night. It ended at the middle of her legs, enough to cover the parts needed. She glanced at her side, expecting the sleeping beast sleeping beside her when she saw nothing but the messed up blanket.Memories from last night came crashing over her mind. She expected it the very least, but she couldn't deny how happy she is.Now that the crumple between them was now fixed, she started to think of the plans they'd do together. Will she be able to eat and be with him without an appointment? she wondered.She pressed her palms on her hot cheeks. Was it possible to feel more womanly when they did that? Because she could feel a different level of satisfaction and joy i

Dalmi's heart pounded like the thundering hooves of a hundred wild stallions, it felt as though it would leave her chest.Carden's calloused, heated palm passed through her stomach and went upwards in a slow, circular motion. She could feel heat gushing inside her body, his every touch making her shiver, and cast all her strength away.She leaned her head on his chest and let him touch her skin. The silence covering the whole place made it so cold, but she could feel the opposite.Was it because they are so close to each other? Skin to skin, their bodies are stuck with each other. The roughness of Carden's skin, his hairy arms, and legs covered the smallness of her body but she didn't mind. It only adds up to the things she feels right now.She cursed herself. How could she feel this way when he was just merely cleaning her body? How come it could make her feel so hot when he was just touching her with no other intentions?She breathed slowly. His hand trail
