“IF YOU CAN’T, it’s okay—” “No, it’s okay,” he cut me off. “Alright, then I will set a schedule for our meeting after we get back to Manila,” I declared. “No problem,” he still answered sparingly to me. Since it looks like he really has no intention of talking to me, I decided to just look out the window again. But to my surprise, the car suddenly turned to a restaurant. “Let’s eat first before going home,” he said, something I agreed with. “They have delicious food here,” he said as we walked inside. “Elliesse Restaurant”, that was the name of the restaurant he brought me. I can’t help but appreciate it since the diner’s overall structure is appealing. There’s also a large tree in there, as well as a stairway to the rooftop, which I’m sure I will love. The place is beautiful, and the theme color was green. The table and chairs are made of top-notch wood. A violinist is playing in the corner, and the restaurant is conne

“HERE’S YOUR COFFEE!” I put the coffee in front of him and then decided to sit down. “Thanks.” He met my gaze, so I slowly bowed to the food. I swallowed a few times before speaking again. “Any plans for today?” he asked as he sipped a coffee. “Hmm, I don’t have any plans today.” “May I ask you out on a date?” he instantly said while looking directly at me. I pursed my lips. I did not immediately respond to his offer. “How about shopping? Or movies?” he suggested and laid his back against the chair. Maybe I’ll do the baking of the cake later. “I’m not busy, so let’s go,” I agree. After we ate, we went to the mall. He left me for a while to buy a ticket while I bought popcorn and drinks. From here, I can see how some women look at him. I have to admit that he’s attractive and definitely a head-turner. I can’t help but wonder if the women’s necks were not clenched as they look at him. He ca

I WAS SO annoyed that I stabbed the steak in front of me so hard that I caught their attention and stopped talking. “Sorry! The steak is a bit tough,” I explain. Lawrence frowned at my reaction. He struggles to read what’s in my eyes. In the end, he is the first one to give up and look down before averted his gaze. He quickly motioned for the waiter to approach us immediately. “Please change Ms. Collins’ food. Make sure the steak you serve is tender,” he ordered and looked at me seriously. “Immediately, Mr. President!” the waiter politely said before taking my plate from me. “No, I’m good.” I gently wiped my lips before standing up. “I’ll go take some rest. It looks like you have more to talk about,” I emphasized something to them. “Oh, right,” said Elliesse, then shrugged. Lawrence looked me in the eyes, so I decided to just look away. “Just enjoy your moment together. I’ll be upstairs,” I added before I walked away. W

“YEAH, I KNOW, but you have no right to enter my room and for crashing that damn door,” I uttered in a cold voice. But instead of answering, he stepped closer to me. I quickly backed away until he cornered me in the bathroom. I could feel the cold tiles on my back. I sighed as he locked me with his two hands that were now also holding the cold tiles. The water from the shower that drenched us both is still pouring. “Show some respect, Mr. Saavedra,” I said in a shaky voice. I want to return my heartbeat to normal and prevent my body heat from rising, but why it’s so fucking hard? He tilted his head a bit. “You’re jealous, aren’t you?” he asked with a baritone voice. Yes, I am jealous. I was jealous because of that kissed. For ignoring me when she was around and for making me feel unwanted! I wish I could have uttered those words, but no words came out of my lips. I just kept getting colder and colder. “Damn, look at me, Margaux

I ATE LUNCH by myself and then went for a walk along the beach. The camera’s flash caught my attention, as did the crowd gathered to observe the ongoing photoshoot at the shore.I stopped when I finally found a nice spot where I could see Elliesse posing. She looks stunning in a long, thin white gown that emphasizes her whiteness. She is sitting on a big tree with the lovely San Simon Sea in the background.As I looked around, I saw Lawrence with a man in the distance. He is now wearing a gray long sleeve polo and denim pants.My heart melted as he turned his gaze to met mine. I bit my lower lip. The intensity of his stare makes my heart pound so fast. I quickly looked down. Damn, I could still feel him inside me. The heat and the pleasure are still there.I only looked back at him when I saw him talking on his cellphone. The furrow in his brows is very visible at my sight. I also saw that he shook his head a few times while talking.I stared at him with a look of con
