Julian stood and watched her as she walked close to her. He put his hands on her shoulders to stop her from moving further and carrying out whatever plans she had. "Julian, I want you, please take me," Hazel said trying to move further. "I'm not in the mood for this, please, grab your towel," Julian said pointing at the towel she dropped on the bedroom floor. "Are you going out today?" Hazel asked. "No," Julian responded. "Good, we have enough time. Julian, I want you to spend the morning with me. We can have our breakfast on the bed, what do you think?" Hazel asked, her face beamed. "I'm going to take as much rest as my body needs. I shall resume training tomorrow." "Julian, you have been ignoring me. What did I do?" Hazel said, tilting her head. "Does she makes you happy more than I do?" "Hazel, please stop the comparison. You and Eva are not in any form of competition!" "Julian, we are now. We are competing for your attention. It is ob

Honestly, Nora, you shouldn't be here," Eva said to Nora when they were ready to leave for the meeting. "Good morning, Julian," Nora greeted with a grin, ignoring her friend who was standing before her. "Good morning, Nora. How are you today?" "I'm good and you?" Nora asked. "I'm fine," Julian said and continued walking towards the entrance. "Are you going out?" Nora said loudly to call his attention to her question. "We are going out," Julian said, pointing at Eva and himself."Well, I don't mind going with you guys, do you?" Nora grinned. "Nora, please go home. You have no reason to be here," Eva said when Julian walked away without dropping an answer to her question. "Eva, if this is a joke, please stop it! What has come over you? This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard from you. Julian is my friend and I'm here to see him, not you! You have no right to stop me from coming here!" "Nora, please don't ever come here without my perm

"Eva, what did she do, or tried to do?" Julian asked anxiously when he walked into the closet. "Where did you meet her?" She asked walking out of the closet as though she did not need an answer. Julian held her hand and drew her back. "Eva, what is going on?" He asked looking into her eyes, wishing she would tell him everything she knew. "It's almost time for lunch, I'll talk to you when I'm through," Eva said trying to break free from his grip. "We are eating out," Julian said. "What did she do, Eva? I need to know." "Where did you meet her?" Eva asked again. "Come with me," Julian led her to the chairs that were in the bedroom. "Sit," he said pointing at one of the chairs. Eva sat nonchalantly. "I met my Hazel through social media. I'm being blasted every day by some extremely unusual and rather x-rated messages including pictures of many women in nothing but what nature gave them. Brad spent a vast amount

Eva tossed her phone on the dining table when she got to the kitchen. She really wanted to go out with Julian as she had not been going out often. Shortly after she dropped the phone, it began to ring. Eva pulled it closer and began to wonder why James was calling even though he knew Julian was monitoring her calls. She ignored the call and pushed the phone aside. The continuous ringing of the phone made her feel like switching it off. She grabbed the phone, and on second thought, she received the call. "James," Eva said. "Hi, honey," James said. His voice was quite cold. Eva felt so bad. She sat on the chair and held her lowered head with her right palm. "Nora left here now," James muttered. "She was here too.""You walked her out?" James asked. "Yes""Honey, she is your childhood friend, have you forgotten?""No""What is happening? She thinks you are falling for him. Is she right?" James asked. Eva kept quiet; she felt

Eva became more afraid immediately after they landed at Benito Juárez International Airport. Her worries were apparent and Julian noticed it. They proceeded to the luggage carousel and soon were out of the terminal building. People did not stop staring at them.Julian had earlier informed Sam, one of their childhood friends about their coming. He had been waiting for their arrival in the parking lot. "Will I ever recognize Sam?" Carlos smirked as they found their way down the premium parking space where Sam was waiting. "Sure, you will. He hasn't changed a bit." Julian grinned. "I remember the day, he took off. It is just like yesterday. We cried and after someday, you went after him." Carlos said and they giggled. Sam was adopted at the age of nine. He was always on the street to get away from his abusive mother. When Julian's mom was still with him, she would always invite him to play with her son since Julian had no one to play with. "I can't believe you have been in touch wi
