Bethy Hillstorm*My emotional tears are gone now and I felt my heart skipping it's usual beat in my chest. I just confessed one of my deepest sorrowful emotions to Emilio, which I never thought I could do.Somehow, oddly enough, I find it easier to breathe now, like something else has been lifted off my chest, I smile as I rubbed my arms lightly, and I think he felt sorry for me.After a minute of helping me to calm down, he turns me around to face him and his eyes are burning with pure passion.He stared deep into my eyes and I stare back lost in his captivating gaze.He slowly leans towards my face and his lips meet mine, it was a soft kiss and actually the very first gentle kiss he's ever given me. I thought it would just be a peck but he doesn't let go of my lips and instead he grasps my hair as he slowly and passionately own my lips.I close my eyes surrendering to his slow tempo, he takes my lips sensuously as his hands are placed on my small back.He nips gently on my lower lip

I sigh again but continued on packing my clothes. I can't believe we're already going home. After our intense sexual moment a while ago, Emilio reminded me to pack my things and be ready to fly back home.He left after that saying he has a short important meeting to attend.I am thankful I got to see Central Park again and oddly enough, I feel a lot better as if the places I visited somewhat lessened the burdening pain in my heart. I have to get back to work tomorrow morning and Emilio is a busy man so we really have to leave tonight.A loud abrupt knock on my door startled me, so I stop packing and approach the door. Lucas is standing at the doorway with a large shopping bag in his hands and he hands it to me."From Mr. Mendez." He casually says and walks away after I took the bag.I look inside for its contents, the phone in my right hand beep, a message from Emilio.I bet that dress would look good on you.Meet you at 9 PM.I smiled widely and set aside my phone so I can take a pro

Bethy Hillstorm*"To Bethy!" They gleefully shout and clink their glasses with mine before we drink in unison.The others get back to the food while some resumes their chitchat after saying their thanks and goodbyes to me. I smile contentedly as I look around me."Thank you, Bethy, It was really great working with you even though it was such a short period of time." Mr. Parker sincerely expresses his gratitude as he sits beside me."It was an honor to have worked with you, Mr. Parker. Thank you for doing this for me." I reply back.Since this is the last day I would be working filling in one if their workers position, they all insisted we have a simple goodbye party for me right after office hours. We finished our work early just to give time to this simple tribute for me.I refused at first when they told me but they were already so enthusiastic and excited about it. They took care of all the food deliveries and the drinks.They even rearranged the tables that we have a wide snack to

Bethy Hillstorm*"Lilian!" I squeal in sheer excitement once I saw the caller ID of my bestfriend flashing on my phone."Bethy!" Lilian on the other line greets me in equal excitement."How have you been?""Where the hell have you been?"I laugh at our excited questions to each other so I have to keep quiet and let her ask me first."Bethy, where the hell have you been this past years or was it month? Last time, I couldn't get a hold of you cell.""Oh, that must have been when I was away for Prague." I explain recalling the two days I spent with Emilio in Prague."Prague? How did you get there? I mean, really?That was your dream and I can't believe you already made it!""Uh, yeah. I did." I laugh then try to steer the topic away from me. "Hey, Lilian how was your honeymoon?""Bethy, we just arrived from Canada, are you free or are you still doing tutorials?"I glance at my obedient students in my living room who are busy solving the math equations I got them. I was in the middle of m

I curse loudly at the involuntary contractions while I drown in pain on my bed. It's still ten in the morning and after I had breakfast, I went back to bed because of the pain. Damn this cramp!It's the curse to some ladies like me who doesn't have their regular cycle of menstruation.I get my periods at random days and the curse of extreme cramps that comes with it would stay with me for two to three days. At times, it's a torture that I have to take painkillers when I couldn't bear it anymore. Oftentimes it's bearable and I can just sleep it off but for this time, its pain level is 1, 000 to the highest.After discovering yesterday that my period came, I still proceeded with my tutorials and finished it before the worst pain came.Today, the menstrual cramps made it worse and the shooting pain from my navel area is making me cry out in pain. I already went through my stocks of medicine but I couldn't find any pain killers. This is the sad part of living alone when no one can loo
