I rolled my eyes before I shut the door in his face. I do not know why he annoyed me so much today! I never thought that he is such a nosy man. He is too huge to be one, to be honest. I thought that he was a serious, "I do not give a fuck" type of man! But I was wrong! All this time, I have a nosy neighbor.I am grateful that he did not bother me after that so I fell asleep comfortably.The next morning, I woke up by the sound of knocking on the door. I knitted my brows, trying to understand what was happening. It took me a minute process that someone was knocking in my apartment. What time is it?My eyes widened when I saw that it was eight in the morning! Oh my god! I have a teaching session at ten! Didn't my alarm clock ring? It did not! Because if it did, I should have been up at six!But it is still quite early. My tutee lives just fifteen minutes from here so there should not be a problem at all.I groaned out in frustration as I left my bed and walked towards the door.I knitte

I looked at him with suspicion in my eyes. Why do I feel like he is not telling the truth? And why would he? And Levan... He did not even tell me that he had to do something. He just left without saying anything! He could have wait for me, you know? That man. How rude of him to disappear without telling me.Vinil, on the other hand, was sipping on his coffee very nonchalantly, as though he was in his own home. I can't help but glared at him.His long hair annoys me big time and I do not even know why. Probably because he looks like a fucking pornstar with that hair. Why can't he just cut it? Isn't it a hassle for him to have such a long hair? I wonder if he had ever cut his hair short like a normal man would..."Why do you have long hair?" I was not able to stop myself from asking. I know that it is none of my business. I just... really want to know.He looked at me. Something in his eyes made my heart pounded so fast. He stood up. My eyes remained on him. I could not move, anticipati

My eyes widened at her aggressive tone. She looked annoyed and pissed off. I swallowed hard. What is happening? Is it possible for us to forget someone after not seeing them for several years? I do not think that is possible. Unless you have an amnesia, of course."W-Wait, Miss." I tried to think about what to say. I do not think I would be able to sleep peacefully tonight if I would not be able to make her remember me.Her brows were knitted in annoyance as she waited for my words."I-In Manila..." I whispered. "We were best friends, Kelly. Y-Your father is Mr. Petrakis, right? He is a scientist."Her brows furrowed even more, if that is even possible. "I am sorry, Miss. I have never even been to Manila. All my life, I have been living here. Manila is so far. You must be wrong. And Kelly is not my mine. I am Samara." Her voice was serious, making my heart pounded so fast.But I noticed something...Their voices sound different. Even after several years, I still remember how Kelly's v

I could not even move. And I do not want to. I am not even breathing. The air in my lungs seemed to stop abruptly as soon as I heard his deep cold voice.I was sitting on his bed. My back was on him.I do not even know what to say. This is... wrong. Being in the same bed is completely wrong. How did I even end up here? Oh, yes. I remember. Someone broke into my apartment and I stupidly ran towards his door and knocked as if my life was depended on it. Why did I even run to him? I could have knocked on our other neighbors' door! "I-I should leave now. I-I am sorry for bothering you," I said. I hate myself for talking like I was being chased."It is still early. We should go back to sleep. Come here..." I felt his large warm palm wrapped around my wrist. And I swear, bolt of electricity crept in my skin. I immediately evaded from his touch as I am hating myself for how I am acting around his presence."No. I am leaving," I can't helped but hissed at him. I was about to stand up when I

"Levan?" I knitted my brows as I opened the door. I did not expect him to come here. It is a Sunday. I will be at their house tomorrow for my teaching session with his son, Bryan. I was about to take a shower when he knocked.He gave me an awkward smile. I blinked."Hey, uhm." He cleared his throat, trying to find what to say. "I just came here to visit you..." He was looking behind me, as though he was checking something.I suddenly remember that he left the other day without telling me. I was kind of offended by it."You left last Wednesday without saying anything. You were suddenly gone," I can't help but said that. Although I am not mad or anything.He blinked. "Oh." His brows knitted in confusion. "T-The landlord said that the tenants are not allowed to invite visitors inside his apartment so... I left. He said that he will throw any of his tenants out if they will not follow his rules..."I looked at him weirdly. Landlord? But the owner of this apartment building is an old lady.

Without me even knowing it, my tears fell more aggressively than a typhoon as I kept on pushing his chest. This is not real. He is not... Greval... No... This is bullshit. He is bullshitting me.He tried to reach my elbow, trying to soothe me but I never let him. My heart feels so heavy. This is so sudden. He just suddenly dropped the bomb infront of me without any warning at all. I do not even know what to feel."I am sorry if I had to hide the truth for awhile, baby. I had to do it. I know that you do not want me in your life so I wanted to let you live peacefully without me in it... But it is killing me..." Tears fell down his face. He looked so miserable and broken but I do not care.My knees weakened. When he wrapped his arms around me, I did not have enough strength to fight back. I fell in his arms weakly."Greval is dead..." I whispered in a trembling voice."I am not," he murmured softly.I shook my head. "No! You are not Greval! You can't be him!" I do not want to believe it

I can't stop myself from looking at him. He feels so... unreal. I feel like he is from a dream that would never happen. He feels too... surreal. He smiled while cutting the meat. He was preparing some food I while sitting, watching him intently."Why?" he asked in a gentle tone.I swallowed hard, averting my gaze. "I feel like you are not real," I whispered mindlessly. I am not even sure if he heard it but he chuckled."What does that even mean? Hmm?" His tone was humorous.I knitted my brows. I do not know why but his tone annoyed me. Isn't he aware about what he did? That he made me believe he is dead all these years? And now, he is acting like everything was fine. As if he did not do anything. As if he did not shot himself.I do not even know why I have not left his apartment yet. Here I am, watching him prepare our lunch. I wanted to go back to my apartment which is just few meters away from here but I just could not force myself to move, to stand up and walk away and leave his p

The next morning, I decided to wake up early to buy ingredients for the recipe that I am planning to cook. Today, I will just be at home as I do not have any teaching session. Lira, my supposed student for today has a high fever. She is at the hospital right now so we would not be able to meet.It is still five am when I decided to leave my apartment. I rolled my eyes when I passed by at his door. He must had the best night, huh?When I reached the wet market, I looked for the ingredients that I will be needing. I will cook beef bulalo as it has been awhile since the last time I ate it. The ingredients of this dish is very expensive that is why I do not always cook it."Thank you," I smiled at the woman before I left. Beef is really expensive for someone like me. After making sure that I have all the ingredients, I went home. When I passed by at Greval's apartment, he was coming out of the door. My heart almost fell but I did not let him see any reaction in my face. And just like usu

He dipped his head, pressing his lips on mine. For a moment, I shut my eyes as I let myself dozed off with his warm and gentle lips, tasting mine softly. But when I remember why I feel so miserable, I pulled away, pushing his chest with all my strength as I felt my blood boiled. Of course, he did not even budge. His arms remained snaked around my waist firmly."Why are you kissing me?! How dare you kiss me, huh?! After ignoring me for days, and now, you have the guts to press your disgusting lips on mine?!" I could not help but raised my voice. Annoyance spread throughout my whole system. God, I can't believe that he can easily get me by just his kisses! It is not fair! It is not fucking fair! It will never be fair! But no matter how much I tried to not let myself be swept away by him, I just could not. It feels illegal to fight it. It feels so wrong to not let myself be a slave of him... And I know how dangerous that is... and how deadly that is for me...And this brute just chuckled

His lips parted as his eyes widened in friction, staring at me. I saw how his eyes turned bloodshot.I smiled gently. "I will marry you, Greval," I whispered in a soft tone.I know that I might be heading to the wrong way but I do not care at all...I love him...God, I love this man. No matter how much I tried to deny it to myself, no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I will never win against my heart. No one could ever have the power to defeat the most powerful one, which is our heart. I do not know when it did start, how did it start, and why did it start... One thing I am sure about is what my heart is telling me right at this moment. He is the first man I have ever love. The first man I have ever given my heart to. The first man I care for... The first man whose lips were my salvation...He shut his eyes tightly as he lets out a deep sigh. It was as though something lifted from his chest, making him to be able to breathe properly and peacefully.He held my hand. "Come with m
