Marišŗ
I looked around at the reception and saw a pretty lady talking with the receptionist. She had a pink lipstick on and her lips moved with etiquette. She looked flashy and she's way taller than me.
I kept looking at her because her way of talking and gesturing was quite amusing though I didn't hear a word of what she was saying
She eventually looked at my direction and saw me staring at her. I quickly looked away and looked back moments later, she had resumed her talking.
I packed my hair from falling on my shoulders to staying at the left side, only on my left shoulder. It would make me look a little classier. I also removed my jacket and held it on my left arm. I looked at my shoes and I was glad I had worn my white canvas. My shirt was a body fitting T-shirt and I wore tight jeans (I got that from Eliza)
I looked beside me and saw large mirrors on a wall. I walked there and looked at my reflection
šŗWilburšŗ“you want me to get one for myself?” I asked“yeah since it's unisex. Come on, it would look nice on you” she said and placed the shirt in front of me then looked at it“uhm, sure... I'll ask the attendant if there's another pair” I said and she smiled“okay” she said and began to read what was written on the shirt. I looked over at the attendant who was arranging some clothes in a hanger. Luckily she looked at me and I beckoned on her to come over. She quickly walked to us“good evening sir” she greeted“yeah evening. Uhm, do you have another pair for this shirt?” I asked and pointed to it as Marigold held it“OH yes we do” she replied“great! He needs a pair” Mari said with a smile. I looked at her and she looked at me smiling, her smile made me smile
“who do we have here Wilbur?” he asked looking at me with eyes that felt like that of the devil. I doubt if this Eduardo is in his right mind. He'd play the role of a psychiatric villain well in moviesHe moved closer to me and wanted to touch my face but Will quickly stood between us and placed his hand on my shoulder“she's a friend. What brings you here Eduardo?” he asked and I heard a deep chuckle. Wait, how does Will manage to hang out with this man who feels like Lucifer himself?“let's say I wanted to eat sushi” he said and looked at me. I looked down immediately, my eyes can't look at his“mind if I join you guys?”“we're already done. Why don't you just grab a takeaway instead?” Will asked“better. Will come with me” he saidWill looked down at me and I nodded 
WillI tried to push her off but I couldn't. My hands even refused to liftIt was like sleep paralysis, I was awake but couldn't help myself.“OH gosh! I love this” Kate moaned on top of me.Why is she even doing this? And what is she enjoying from this?“Kate stop... Stop this nonsense please” I pleaded and she laughed“don't tell me you're not enjoying this” she said and lowered herself then kissed me.She ran her hands over my chest and up to my face and hair“we should do this some other time baby” she said and giggled“in your freaking... in your freaky mind” I managed to sayShe laughed and began to ride faster. I groaned, not really out of pleasure but out of anger and frustration. I despise Kate so much and I find this disgusting.And Marigold... Damn! I feel so bad
“this was the least I expected of you” he said and she looked back very shocked. She couldn't move as she gawked at us with her mouth wide open“get off my brother you whore!” I yelled at her and she immediately left him.I walked to her and slapped her three times that she began to sob. Stupid girlI went to my brother and covered his nakedness. I was so angry I didn't come in time“it's not my fault... He seduced me” she said, holding her cheek and crying“OH shut up! I know you Kate. If only I had come here in time, you wouldn't have had your way” I said and properly covered Will.I sat beside him and held his face“Will, are you okay?” I asked“I... I can't see clearly” he said with a very weak voice“what in the world happened!” Eduardo barkedKate was just
šŗMarišŗI sat up and hugged myself as cold chills ran down my spine and goose bumps appeared on my skin. I turned on the lights, got down from the bed and walked into my bathroom. I peed then went to the kitchen to warm water for a hot chocolate drink. I was feeling really cold.After I made my drink, I went back to my room and wrapped myself up in one of the new jackets Will bought for me last week. I sat on my bed and sipped from my cup.The dream I had flashed back into my senses and I tried hard not to remember but all to no avail. I really didn't want to have memories of Caleb again but I wonder what brought back these stupid flashes.I spent about eight minutes drinking the hot chocolate and after that I fell asleep and I was grateful for that.In the morning, I got ready for school. I had two papers to write and I hoped I could concentrate.I met up with Eliza at her dorm“hey morning!”
I didn't stop kissing her though. I continued to nibble on her lips and I think she wanted to withdraw because she pushed her face backwards but I wrapped one arm around her face and pulled her back to me. Her lips parted a little and I grabbed that opportunity to slip in my tongue. That was when I heard her moan. I took up my hand to her face and held her soft cheeks as I continued to kiss her.I opened my eyes and saw that her eyes were closed but the girl wasn't kissing me backI withdrew my lips and stared at her face. Her eyes were still closed even after I had stopped kissing herI chuckled quietly“you can open your eyes now” I said and she slowly opened her eyes. I held her right hand and squeezed it.She stared at me and I thought I would see anger in her eyes but I saw some sort of peace.She's not angry with me for kissing her.Could she be in love with me?
šŗMarišŗ“wait... Let me get this straight. You went to Wilbur's house and he kissed you” she said“yeah. It was spontaneous. I couldn't even push him away, he just....”“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh”Oh great! My ear drums.“OH my God! Oh my God are you for real?!” she yelled out and grabbed my arms then began to shake me“hey stop it... I'm still not strong okay?” I said and she stopped“I can't believe this! He kissed you! Like he placed his lips on yours. Wilbur Sanders kissed my best friend! Like, I didn't even imagine any of this would ever happen while we lived in the slums. Who knew we were going to know a millionaire actor personally, talk more of him falling in love with you. And then kissing you! Gosh!” she jumped up and began to dance, wriggling her butt and turning around. I la
MariGold's POV I began my story āThe nightmare I had. It was just a flashback of my life when I was about 16 to 17 years. Ever wondered how I got pneumonia? Well, there was this guy... Caleb. He was a senior in my school and he was really good looking. He was really rich and famous in school. He always had girls around him and somehow, I began to crush on him. He found out I was crushing and he took interest in me. He began to come around me and I felt so happy. A friend of mine warned me that he was a player and would just sleep with me and leave but I thought she was jealous that almighty Caleb wanted me to be his girlfriendā I paused a little āCaleb and I began to date and I loved him so much. He told me he loved me too and I believed him. One day, just before an excursion we had into the snowy mountains, he asked for sex. He convinced me to do it but right there on the bed, I changed my mind and pulled him off. I said I couldn't do it and i
MariOne week to their birthday I fell ill. Eliza thought it was as a result of the stress or trauma we had gone through two months ago but it wasn't. I knew exactly why I felt down. It had to do with my heart. It was empty and it wanted it's owner back.I got off from the bed where I was just resting and I walked to my drawer. I pulled open the third one and lifted some papers up. I saw it. The purple envelope with white flowers on it. Marigolds.I smiled and pulled it out then closed the drawer. I sat on the floor and crossed my legs then ran my thumb on the envelope“it's next week” I said to myself and smiledI hugged the envelope and laid down on the floor. The floor was cold, so not good for me but I didn't care. The thought that Will wanted me back made me feel warm.Eliza came into the room two minutes later and gasped when
Will“help! Somebody please help!” Mari cried as she held unto Fred. I could only look on and couldn't do anything. Eliza was still unconscious and I was drifting away slowly.My eyes were closing and my ears kept hearing Mari's cries. I tried to stay conscious but I couldn't fight it*I woke up in a bed. As usual I felt heavy and weak at the same timeI sat up and slowly ran my fingers through my hair. I've been through a lot this past week and I don't think I would be able to get the memories off me.I can't believe Eduardo didn't die. That psychopath! He was behind this all along. I shouldn't think this way but I'm glad I saw him die real this time. At least I'll be sure he won't come back.I sighed when I remembered how Mari clung to Fred's body and cried. I was hurt. She didn't even care for me the way she did for him. Does that really mean she loves h
Fred šI tried my very best to act cool despite his cold glare. If he had found out then I'm in trouble. I should have hired someone to do that job for me but I couldn't trust anyone but myself. I just hope my little cover up worked“you... It's you” he said and I scoffed“me? Can you stop kidding and tell me who it is?” I asked“I just told you. It's Yu. The Chinese American who went off duty yesterday” he said and looked at the girls. I heaved a sigh, he didn't hear it though. My cover up had worked. I paid him off and told him to run away to a faraway country and fake a new identity. I had actually threatened him with all his crimes. He was my fish bait.“have you gotten him?” I asked“no. We only pointed him out as the one who helped them. He was seen in Manila the night our men raided their house b
Will ššI woke up when I felt someone touching my hands. I opened my eyes and saw a man untying me. He looked really familiar. I didn't make any move nor sound till he untied my hands l. He proceeded to untie my legs then he looked up at me. He gasped a little as his eyes met with mine.“you look... awfully familiar” I muttered under my breath“don't talk” he whispered. He took my hand and placed it over his shoulder then placed his other hand behind me“let's get you up” he said and pulled me up gently“where are you taking me?” I asked“I said don't talk” he replied and began to walk with me. We kept walking quietly through the darkness of a hallway outside the room.We finally got outside in the cold and dark night. There was a car standing close-by with two men carr
Will šAfter the party I went straight to my car to drive home and rest my head. I sat in and closed the door when a gun slowly pointed to my head“don't look back” the masculine voice said“how did you—”“—don't ask questions either” the voice warnedI exhaled and sat still“drive and follow the GPS” he said and I slowly started the car. The GPS turned on and I sighed again. How did he even get into the car talk more of setting the GPS?I began to drive, following the GPS with the gun firmly resting against my head. I would have tried those skills in action movies where they grab guns but I couldn't for two reasons, first this is reality and second, I'm a romance actor not Vin Diesel.I kept driving till we got out of Manila. I was scared, I tried to do something to help myself but I knew t
Mari šI was no longer comfortable. I felt suddenly hot and thirty“are you okay? You look tense all of a sudden” Fred asked and I laughed“I'm fine. Come on focus, the bride and groom are about to kiss” I said with a fake smile. He stared at me as if he didn't believe me before looking forward. I didn't expect him to believe me though, I was terrible at pretending and besides, my face looked sad already.The couple kissed and turned to look at us. Everyone stood up to clap and cheer except me, I was absentminded“Mari” Fred whispered“uhh? Oh oh. I'm sorry” I quickly said as I was standing up. They walked through the aisle amidst the cheers and the guests started walking out too, heading for the wedding party“isn't my cousin beautiful?” he asked“very. Very beauti
MarišI woke up in a hospital with eyes so dull and heavy I almost decided not to open them. I saw a girl sleeping with her head resting on a table close to the wall. At first I didn't recognize her but I later realized it was Eliza.“Eliz... Eliza... Eliza” I called weakly. I moved my hand from my stomach to the bed“Eliza” I called again while hitting my hand gently on the bed. She stirred a little“Wake up Elizabeth” I said and she yawned and sat up“Eliza”She opened her eyes and stayed at me without recognition. She was still turning on her system.I stared at her and waited for her to resume. Few seconds later she gasped“Mari! Oh my God! My honey pie” she cooed and got up from the chair immediately. She ran to me and hugged me gently
Wilbur I smiled as I watched Mari open a candy and put it in her mouth. She must be waiting for someone because she leaned over on her car and crossed her arms. I could see her face clearly and I couldn't help but smile at her face. She's so beautiful. āI miss youā I muttered and brought out my phone. I took pictures of her through my windscreen. I began to look through them and when I lifted my face, I saw that she had already stood straight and was looking towards the bank. A man was walking out and he walked straight to her and held her hand. I didn't hear what they were saying but with their expressions she was upset and he was apologizing. Who is he? I don't remember Mari having male friends or relations. I watched as she took whatever was in his hand and entered her car. She drove away leaving the guy who now stood akimbo. He shook his head and called a taxi which took him away
WillI stood outside, leaning on my car and watched as Mari walked out. The light from the restaurant was reflecting on her tears and I palmed my face. I can't believe I had to do that.She entered her car and didn't drive out immediately. She spent close to ten minutes in there and if my guess is correct, she was crying her eyes sore. I felt like running to her car and pulling her out, then tell her it was all a silly prank.“nice job. Now go home” a voice I recognize as Derulo said behind me. I scoffed and turned to look at him standing with three other men“what are you? Demon?” I asked and he laughed“I wish” he said and brought out his hands from his pocket“I've done what you said I should do, now I hope you stay away from her.” I said“you know we don't fail promises. We promised we'd k
