I rubbed my face on the pillow many times. His kiss keeps playing on my mind. I can still feel the softness of his lips that is totally different from his firm aura. And I think I can still taste the sweetness of his tongue."Sage, sleep!" I shouted quietly, but then I felt the bed move."If you can't sleep on the bed peacefully beside me, then just hug me. You slept so well when you hugged me the last time," he mocked as I felt him moved closer.I glanced at him carelessly but quickly turned aside when I noticed his lips."M-ove away, Delton! Calm down—""What, Savvy? Isn't it you who needs to calm down?" he asked, confusedly.I almost slapped myself because of that. It was his fault that I was becoming insane. I now have no idea how I can still treat him savagely."Uhm. Just it! Calm down.I mean, sleep tight, then never wake up. I mean, sleep tightly." I cringed when I noticed his brows wrinkled and how he was staring at me with a stern expression.I hastily turned my back as I fixe

"Why did he even marry me if he's just going to house another woman?" I kept whispering that while fixing my canvas in the living room.I sat down on the high-stand chair and picked up the palette as I cast my eyes up the staircase.It was already evening, and yet they hadn't gone out of the office. Were they really like this even before? Literally a secretary with benefits!I pouted my lips and dipped my paint brush in the black paint.My stomach is grumbling already, but they are still inside of that office. Aren't they going to eat?I sighed as I started to let my brush touch the canvas and paint small dark circles in the middle.I bit my lip and restrained myself from going upstairs and knocking on their door. But I wasn't able to do so when I abruptly stood up, put down the palette and the brush, and took a few steps near the staircase.But I was taken aback when I saw him going downstairs, looking at me intently but with a little concern.I froze on my track and even waited for

The next morning, I can't help but smile, even though I had doubts about his smirk yesterday. Even at breakfast, my smile didn't fade."What's with your smile?" He asked as he put some garlic rice on my plate."Huh?" I took a glimpse, and all I could see was his annoyed look."Am I not allowed to smile, Attorney?" I arched my brow, and that made him knot his forehead deeply."I won't meddle with your happiness, just make sure I am part of it." He put down the utensil as he calmly stood.My lips parted and I looked at him with disbelief, "Attorney, maybe you forgot that you asked for this mess." The fact that I agree with this without my heart, only means that I will never be happy with you—""Then, I'll make you happy. Who's your request again? Andres? Fine, I'll hire that Andres here. Check the garden at ten am."That's what he said before he picked up his coat from the chair and turned his back. He walked straight out of the kitchen and didn't dare give me one last look.I shrugged

He pushed me more against the wall and kissed me deeply. I felt weak when he caressed my waist as he nibbled my lower lip. He groaned a little and pushed himself closer to me, eating all of the space in between us and feeling his hard chest on mine. My hands crawled over his nape and hair, pulling his head back. His tongue delved inside, making the kiss much wilder.His lips brushed against my jaws, leaving sensual, sweet kisses on my ear. I even felt his hand travel onto my thigh and was about to put it on his waist, but I suddenly woke up from the sensation. My eyes opened and I realized what we were doing. The heat was still there, but my mind was winning this time.It hit me! He wants dirty things!With that in mind, I abruptly pushed him away and forcefully wiped my lips. He didn't expect that, and that made him look at me sleepily."Do you really think this is all it takes?Kiss and make-up?!"I shot him death glares and pushed him further away from me. He closed his eyes tightly

That night, I let him sleep right next to me. closed enough to feel each other's bodies warm. I even let him hug me from the back while on the bed.But maybe it's not all enough. Yes, I could feel his body warm. It warmed mine, but didn't touch my heart or caress my soul. Instead, it made me feel weak, gloomy, unsatisfied, and lonely as it slowly crept inside me.It was strong enough that even if his hug tightened and he tried to make me feel secure, it turned out differently. It felt unsecured and unprotected. He was at peace at night, while I was not.I am just glad that he didn't take advantage of me. He was patient, even if it took me a few more days to finally live my life.I yawned, then stretched my arms. I tied my hair and fixed my racerback sando and leggings. I think I needed to breathe some fresh air to regain my energy and to invite good vibes into the house.I massaged my neck as I headed straight to the house gate and to finally at least walk around the subdivision.I wa
