All Chapters of Screaming Hearts: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

That night we decided to sleep in Brent’s penthouse. He wanted to have our dinner out but I resisted because I want to cook for us. I've been in his place a couple of times already so I'm familiar with his kitchen. In fact, he gave me all the security access to his penthouse if ever I feel the urge to stay especially when he isn't around or out to another country for business errands. He persuaded me to move in with him but I defied him since I'm not ready yet.  "Baby, this is so good," he complimented my creamy spinach and basil lasagna. I put some more on his plate and I felt happy that he liked it. "Thank you," he said and smiled widely at me. Brent has been extra sweet to me since the day we made love. He couldn't stop himself from being clingy. I'm not complaining though as physical touch is one of his ways to express his love to me. We made love again that night which really worn me out the next morning. He convinced me to take an off but I don't w

We were done with pampering at seven and the massage really helped my body ease. The aromatic scent calmed my nerves and released my anxieties. "Let's get ready!" Hailey exclaimed and we headed to our suite. I changed to a black tube dress which Hailey bought for me. The length reached right in the middle of my thigh. I’m a little disoriented with my clothes but Hailey insisted that it looks good on me. The gay in the Salon earlier curled the lower part of my hair. He put simple makeup to enhance my beauty especially my eyes and cheekbone. “Freakin’ hot!” Aira and Hailey high five and giggled when they saw me. "I guess it's way too short for me?" I opposed but they said it was fine and I looked gorgeous. Hailey was wearing a bloody red string strap dress and five inches high heels. She looked marvelous and my lips parted at how curvy her body was. Her hair was put into a bun and her makeup rocked with her dress. She looked fantastic like a pro. My suspicion g

I stayed inside of my apartment that night and I don’t have any idea what happened to Brent after I slammed the door. I hadn't sleep properly because my mind was thinking about him. I know I’ve hurt him last night but I'm more in pain than him. No Brent showed in front of me starting that night. It pained me but I believe it was best for both of us. In the last few days, I was thinking of not going to work anymore but I should hand over my resignation letter. On a Monday morning, I came to the office formally to resign from my work. I contemplated it a lot of times and I'm certain I could get another job sooner. My graduation will be tomorrow and I have a lot of time to look for a regular job before I proceed to enroll in Law. I heard the phone ring, "Kelsie speaking," I answered. It was Mia from the finance department who notified me that she's coming upstairs to get the documents she needed from Brent.  “Hi, Kelsie,” I automatically smiled when

“Olivia was diagnosed with dysthymia, a kind of depression. It was her mom who called me and asked for help because Olivia didn't want to talk to anyone in her family. During those times she's been looking for me. Our families have been friends for so many years that was why I did not hesitate to help. Besides she's like a little sister to me and what I have is purely a brotherly act. Trust me".  I closed my eyes and tried to balance everything that he said. "What about her?" I muttered. "It's obvious that she likes you," I added. “I made it clear to her that she will be forever a little sister to me," he explained. "I told her that I have you and I love you so much," he assured and that made me breathe in relief. "Baby, please don’t be worried anymore. I will always choose you over anyone else,” he pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around my waist.  "Now let's talk about that resignation you left on my table," he changed the topic. "Did

I excused myself and gone to the restroom because I got the urge to pee. I washed my hand in the lavatory and fixed my hair before I went out. As soon as I got back to the counter, I bid goodbye to my friends. "See you when I see you!" I waved my hands at them. "Good luck on your next journey!" I heard John before I walked out of the resto-bar. I was standing in front waiting for Brent when I heard Denver called my name. "Why leaving early?" he asked. "It's already midnight, Denver," I rolled my eyes at him. He was silent for a moment and I saw him unease with both hands either inside of his pocket. "Are you okay?" I creased my brows. I noticed he was like contemplating if he will speak or not. "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked again because I felt like he was anxious. He lifted his gaze "I like you, Kelsie," my eyes broadened because I never anticipated that. "I like you since the day I met you," he disclosed and that made me uncomfortable. "Denver, are you drunk
