31: Sealed With A Kiss

We went to the border of El Fuego where a tall lighthouse stood. We stood near the long cliff, watching the wild waves rule the sea below. Aside from the plantation and neighboring lands, this part was my favorite place to visit back thenThe salty air is so damn refreshing, even the place is just naturally beautiful and tranquil. A place where you can feel comfort and peace. Indeed, nature will always be the most beautiful creation."Oh, beers." Carson distributed the canned beers. He was the one who brought the drinks. Sage is in charge of the food."It's yours," he said and handed me a carbonated drink.We sat on the grass. I was next to Neri while Rage was on the other side of me. I don't know why he sat next to me. I don't want to be rude so I just remained on my position. Jesyl, on the other hand, is sitting beside him. Trying so hard to be noticed. But if before it was still answering, now it is not really."Elena," Neri whispered. "Rage see

32: Dangerous Love

"What, Elena?!" Neri was hysterical when I told her that I agreed to Rage’s offer. At the strength of his shout a few people looked at our behavior inside the restaurant we were eating at"Lower your voice.""You don't have to do that!" She slapped his forehead."We both know what kind of men your brother's friends are! And yet, you sacrificed yourself? You, bitch! Are you out of your mind?""I did it for you. So, just shut up and enjoy the benefits. So you must win the competition. Make sure of it. That's the least you can do.""No. Back off on that deal, Elena. I just want you to ask her but I won't allow it that way. That's too much!"I sighed."It's really fine, Neri. Do you think I'll be shaken by that playboy Rage? I've known him over a decade. He won't affect me, I tell you. This is a big opportunity for you. So improve now only in the club for you to be chosen. "She sighed heavily and tapped the glass of juice wi

33: Embrace the Foreign

It was Saturday the next day. But instead of joining the orphanage, I stayed at home. There are still cooking lessons because I need to master. Maybe I'll just get the kids back next time. Also, mama was with my older brother and our two cousins. Good thing, they are not busy today.I'm on the kitchen, practicing the different cuts of vegetables when I noticed someone's presence. I stopped slicing the carrots and looked up to arrive.When I saw who it is, my gaze went back on the chopping board and knife."Why are you here?" I asked curtly."Why? Can't I visit you?"I heard his heavy footsteps towards me.I glanced at him once. He stopped by my side, leaning against the counter top. I look hard. I sighed. Refocused attention on what was being done."Look, I'm studying, Rage. Don't disturb me.""I'm not interrupting you. I'll just watch. I won't disturb you."I continued to cut."How's your date? What happened? May

34: A Jealous Man's Kiss

"You seem bothered... hmm," Neri said when we met at the school library. It's been three days since the last day I saw Rage. But what happened back when we were in El Fuego is giving me a damn hard time until now. I can't get it off in my head like a bullshit drug. I should get over it, right? It's just a fucking kiss! Anyone could kiss me like that! I shouldn't be bothered!I sighed heavily as I turned the page of the culinary book I'm reading."What happened? Spill the beans, Elena. We're just here so don't be shy. Did you... uh, did you..." I looked up at her. A malicious smile is plastered on her face. That moment, I knew what she's possibly thinking."Of course not!" My voice was not loud but very firm.She grinned. "Er, why do you seem to be affected by that? How many days have I noticed you like that. So I jumped into conclusion that something happened on your last date.""Shut up, Neri. Nothing like that happened, no. It's just your illusio

35: Handsome Assistant

"I was late for my first class earlier. Well, Prof Minchin scolded me again," Neri said. Let's go home when we meet. When I got home last night, I texted him to see if he was home safely. It was morning when he replied, probably because he was drunk.I asked her if anything happened but she told me there was none. There I breathed a sigh of relief."That's what you've got from drinking too much last night. I don't know about you. You know you have low alcohol tolerance and then you're all drinking. You're really crazy."She snorted. "You didn't even stop me!""You're busy with Albert. I didn't realize.""Sus. You mean, you're busy with Leo!"I chuckled and shook my head. Afterwards, she suddenly stopped from walking. We stopped in the middle of the hallway of the building. She turned to me with narrowed eyes. I frowned."Ah! I remembered!""What?""I forgot why you suddenly disappeared. Now, I remember. Rage came! I also

36: Dreaming About You

"Go Wilson! Go Athelians! Go ADU!""Shit! Wilson is really handsome!" Neri giggled beside me.The students shouted louder at the bleachers as the game on the court got hotter. Our university's opponent is LIU. Their basketball players, led by Harris Formentera, one of the loudest names shouted inside the gym, are also great. With us was Wilson Quintana, the team’s captain ball. Also included were Shawn, Peter and Leo who also contributed big points."Go Harris! Go Lavanians! Go LIU!"“The LIU captain is also handsome,” I said."Wilson is more handsome, no! What are you? We have to support our team!"I scolded Neri. "Sus! You mean, you type Wilson!""What now if yes? He's really hot, you know! And besides, dean's lister! He's the ideal man, Elena. He's only been graduating for one year. And that's definitely suma cum laude."I shrugged and resumed watching."Go Wilson!" Neri joined in the cheering.

37: Wait Until Then

On Friday, I had just come out of the culinary laboratory after the food presentation when I received a text message from Rage. I paused to read the message.Rage:I'm at the parking lot. Are you done?I was about to type a reply when someone approached me. It was Zoren, flashing his boyish smile. I put down the cellphone first."Hi, Elena. Are you going home?""Uh, yup.""Let's have a snack at a nearby café first. If it's okay with you ..."If it is a normal day I will accept his invitation. But it's not. Morris was waiting for me"I'm sorry, Zoren. I have a walk, eh. Maybe next time. But not now."He smiled sparingly. "It's OK.""Alright. I'll be the first," I said before he turned away. After a few steps away, I lifted up my phone and typed a short reply to Rage:Me:I'm coming.Rage:You're coming? I haven’t done anything yet, ah.My forehead furrowed and didn&rs

38: Jealous and Furious

I sneezed and formalized the walk. The attention of reporters immediately went to us as we entered the banquet hall of the hotel where the celebration would take place. I am holding Revo’s arm while our mother was beside me. Mama answered a few questions before we glided to the hall.We are not with papa. He needed to attend an important event. So just the three of us went. They are close to the Vasquez family. I don't have problem with Aunt and Uncle I just don't like their child. Beatrice is a bitch beneath her mask."Happy birthday, Florencio," Mama greeted Uncle. I spotted Beatrice. He immediately approached us and clung to his older brother like a leech. Times like this, she can't hide her aggressiveness.How pitiful."It's good that you were able to attend. Philip?""He has an important appointment. That's why we were the only ones who went. I hope you don't mind."The old man chuckled. "I really don't mind, Helena. I know your h

39: Burning Flames

For days, I practiced cooking. Rage came to watch me more often. I didn't have time to go out with Neri. After school, I went straight home. I admit, those days were exhausting. Especially since there are also school works that need to be done. But at the end, it was all worth it when the result was announced.Congratulations on coming out of the culinary lab. Neri cried and hugged me tightly."Congrats, Elena! I told you so and you will be the one to choose!"I laughed. "It's just luck, Neri."He let go. "Luck? No! You're really naturally good! It's not about luck, it's about talent!"We walked down the hallway of the building. We meet greetings that I just reciprocate with a smile. I was just so overwhelmed. I don’t think I would be a freshman to choose from. I was even so nervous the whole time I'm presenting my third dish!"This deserves a celebration!" she chirped."Yup. Go to the mansion. Let's celebrate there. What?"

40: I Want Us Official

Gradually, my breathing calmed down. But I didn't open my eyes. Now that the heat has subsided, I remember what we did. I can feel how my face burned when I remembered how I pleaded for him to do it.I feel, I am no different from the women he became. I was too desperate just for his touch. And I gave up myself just because of thatHow foolish you are, Elena.I closed my eyes even more because of the thought.Moments later, I felt him shifted a bit. He caressed my waist and kissed my shoulder. Fortunately, I turned my back on him. He won't see how red surely my face was."I'll just cook for us. Rest first," he said.Eventually, I felt him leave the bed. I pursed my lips firmly, eyes are still closed. I'm exhausted and embarrassed. Probably, Rage is now thinking how pathetic I am. I swore that I'll never link myself to a womanizer, especially to my brother's friends. Yet I gave in to him. I gave myself just like that. Worst, I even begged.
