Chapter 31 – The Invitation

Work on a Sunday – boring!A night without Albert – boring!Mr. Maurice's class – boring!I stared at the board while Mr. Maurice discussed a new lesson. The three of us, Jane, Ed and I were late for the class, while Albert and Diana were absent. We were all feeling the same thing, and when we sighed all together, we almost chuckled. I pressed my lips right away and focused my attention on the book in front of me.When Mr. Maurice dismissed the class, I groaned, as I hate the next class. Who would like to have a dance class without a partner?"I brought you shoes," Jane grinned as she whispered to me her news.I sighed, "Why do we need to dress up again?" I was almost complaining as I gather my things. We had to wear a gown and high-heeled shoes for our dance class today."Come on, I'm excited already," Jane beamed, "We'll be doing waltz today," she said.I sneered. She was excited because she has a partner, a

Chapter 32 – Three Things

We all look in the direction of the door when it opened. My heart stopped beating for a second when I saw Marco and Philip entered the cafe. As they walked to our table, I tried to calm myself."There's the girl smitten Little Charlie's heart," Philip joked.I smirked, shaking my head then following their eyes. They were both looking at Albert's hands on my shoulders. Feeling the need for security, my left hand grasped his hand on my right shoulder, and I intentionally lean on him.Albert looked at me, a bit confused about my action, but he seemed to like it. He lowered his head and gave me a quick kiss on my forehead.Marco whistled tapping Philip's surprised reaction. "Oh oh! Somebody just got his heartbroken," he teased as he sat down on the chair, next to Ed.Philip followed, sitting next to him, and forced a smile but not looking in my direction."Coffee?" I asked as I stood. Sitting there just made me uncomfortable.

Chapter 33 – Can't Help Falling

The midnight blue chiffon evening dress was waving at me since I entered my room. I know I have plenty of time, but Jane kept on pressuring me to wear the dress because I did not try to fit it this morning.One helpful thing that Albert did, unlike Jane's bedroom, was there was no single mirror in my room. He asked Dani personally to take the mirror away, teasing him that I was scared of my own ugly reflection.I started undressing and wore the evening gown. Suddenly, I regret not having a mirror to see how nice it looked on me. The seamstress surely got my exact body measurement because the heart-shaped empire bust design enhanced my chest. I felt the layer of the dress and thought how fast they were in making it. There were light pleats along with the long dress and the blue chiffon fabric highlights my figure. The design was simple but elegant.I heard the creaked of my bedroom door opening."Jane, can you please zip this," I said, gathering my long ha

Chapter 34 – He's Back

"Jane, please help me fasten this zipper," I asked my best friend when she came to my room, but then when the person comes toward me and placed his hand on my waist, I realized I wasn't talking to Jane. Instead, Marco was standing behind me. He curved a scornful smile and put his arms around my body. I wriggled, but he was too strong.He carried me to the bed, and sat on top of me, and tied my hands to the post of the bed.When I attempted to scream, he gagged my mouth with a piece of cloth, and I could not do anything except continue to writhe as tears roll my eyes. When the cloth fell, I screamed Albert's name."Albert!""Selene," A gentle call coming from Albert.I got up and tears raced down to my cheeks as I searched for him in the darkroom.I heard footsteps, and later he sat beside me in the bed."Another nightmare?" He put his arms around me.Yes. Another nightmare. I nodded as I buried my face in his chest."Goo

Chapter 35 - Alternate the Alternated

Pretend nothing happened. I said that to myself many times.I was fidgeting and I can't help but worry. I was at the corner of the grand door of the hall, waiting. This event was making me weary and crazy, and I wondered how they bear with it, although Albert's family seldom host events.Rachel, his sister, shared that they mostly attend rather than host events, and if they did, they would do it twice a year, and this year would be the third. She even told me, Albert never wanted to celebrate his birthday grand. This year would be an exemption. I was worried because I make one mistake, I will be the headline in tomorrow's news, maybe forever. No one has seen me, not even Jane when I changed to the ball gown Little Charlie requested from Lila, the family seamstress. She showed me the original drawing, and it was cute. I really couldn't believe they had to make the gown as enormous as his drawing knowing a five-year-old child draw it, but she ex

Chapter 36 – Like Déjà Vu

It was almost like a déjà vu, only I knew that my timeline has changed within its timeline. His birthday party started as it was, the curtsy, the kiss from Little Charlie, the dance but after that part, no Philip nor Marco cut in the dance.The smile was almost plastered in my mouth as I talked with his family, with his relatives, and our own circle of friends, but I have never seen Philip and Marco at the party."Tired, my love?" he asked while we were dancing.I wasn't really sure about how to answer his question. Maybe I was tired of thinking."Tell me what you're thinking," he pulled me closer to him, not minding the clicks of the camera as we danced. "What's worrying you?"Even I was wearing high heels, Albert was still taller than me that I had to raise my head to look at him."Can we leave?" I asked as I glanced at the door Philip told me.He took a quick look in my eyes' direction and smiled. "You want to escape,

Chapter 37 - The Perico

"So, you're trying to imply that something is strange because I change my mind about almost everything?"Ed nodded. We moved our heads closer to Albert."And I am doing all these because I am protecting Selene from something?" Albert tried to confirm if he heard it right.We nodded all together."And... you think no one has to know what's gonna happen next?" He whispered.Our eyes widen as we wait for the next words he will say, but he burst into laughter. He pulled the chair beside me and sat down."What are you trying to say?" said Albert, as he propped his elbow on the table and stared at us. "Oh, come on, I just wanted to enjoy my birthday with you. You know I never enjoy parties like that. I could hardly breathe wearing layers of clothes, and you should know that girls."Jane rolled her eyes, "I told you, that's crazy." she muttered, sneering at Ed.I pat Ed's hands, still on the table. "Don't worry, Ed. I'm on your side.

Chapter 38 - Wild Rabbit

"The barbeque was a good excuse," Albert breathed and kissed my neck. I was just glad I was almost done. I put down the last plate carefully on the side of the tabletop and turned around. I found his face and his mouth waiting for me. I did not wait, I kissed him, and I moaned as he kissed me back. He carried me to the center of the kitchen, and carefully sat me on the countertop. I put my arms around him, as I felt his hungry kisses. He should have told me earlier, he wanted my lips as breakfast, I would be happy to oblige. His lips left mine, and glided his nose to the lobe of my ear and whispered, "I want you, Selene," I smiled as I suck for more air. "I'm all yours Albert," I arched my body closer to him so he will know I want more. He moaned as he playfully bites my earlobe, and then nibble my neck, but despite that, I could feel he was trying to hold himself. "You should have told me, you want me for

Chapter 39 – Welcome to Paradise

Welcome to paradise!Those words echoed to my mind as we walked near the water holding hands. Only if the moon was in the sky, it would have been perfect."Do you want to see magic, my love?" Albert asked as he turned me to him. I could only nod.He stood behind me, and put his arms on my shoulders, and pushed me closer to him. Indeed, it was like magic as I realize that lighting small trees were fireflies, making them looked like Christmas trees.My lips parted in surprise. It was so beautiful.My eyes welled with tears, and I started to sniff. Why was Albert making it difficult for me? I just have this intuition that one day I would wake up in my real timeline, and this dream he was creating for me makes my heart ached over and over again.I faced Albert and embraced him. This time, I sobbed."Hey," he said, moving away from me, and cupping my cheeks. "What's wrong, love?"I shook my head, "It's just so beautiful

Chapter 40 – Dreamy Janey

A complete set of pajamas was waiting for me as Albert asked me to go inside the tent. I was so tired that thought I would crawl inside. He didn't want to let go of me like we haven't seen each other in a million years. I smirked as I saw how everything was prepared inside. I took the clothes and changed quickly as I felt cold without him beside me. When I peeked outside, he was picking up our clothes and placed them in one place, then he went to the tent with me."Come here, love," he said, then took a brush from the bag.I chuckled, "Now I believe you really have prepared everything," I sat and turned my back on him.He grinned and quickly kissed my lips. Then, he started braiding my hair. I remember the first time he did my hair, only this time, it was a loose braid."There," he said, placing his arms around my shoulder.Remembering about his daughter with Diana in my timeline, I bet he loved doing this when his daughter was still y
