They both smiled at one another, obviously happy and grateful for each other's sight.I couldn't ask for more'Cause your love is the greatest gift of all...I could clearly see the nervousness and excitement in Johann's eyes as he watched his bride walk down the aisle. I knew he couldn't wait any longer to make Celyn his half and give her his name.After several years of being together, having ups and downs in a relationship, finall
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 42- "Spill the tea!"
"Their story was not your so-common as falling in love at first sight and dating each other. No, that was not it. The truth was it was actually the opposite way around…”Everybody was interested in Yasmine’s spilling the tea about Johann and Celyn and how the romance between the two actually started…“We were at school that very moment, and well, we came across the most famous boys in our university's basketball league... I was even shy because I had a secret crush on one of them. But don't get me wrong, alright? It wasn't Johann I had a crush on. It was their captain, Clinton, who happens to be my husband now..." Her smile got even sweeter when she glanced at her husband.People were enchanted and totally got kilig vibes with that.Clint chuckled softly while looking at his wife full of love in his eyes for her. Years of being married and they're still madly in love with each other. What a great sweet couple!"But this isn't about me and my husband so let's go back to Johann and Cely
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 43- "Pull me closer."
Sometimes it's no wonder why despite our differences, we still clicked to be the best of friends, Celyn and Yasmine always tend to matchmake me, especially with my best friend—Chris!I smiled and shook my head lazily. "Crazy accusation! That's so false, Mrs. Hidalgo!""I wish you were right, Lyn, but definitely, you weren't." Chris followed. "It's the both of you the reason why we came here to wave her goodbye and she has to leave already. Tamara has an important thing to attend to."Both Celyn and Johann looked at me."Can't say what it is all about but it's urgent... and I can't not go. Please, Lyn and Johann. I hope you understand.""Is that really so important?" Celyn asked in a nice but sad way.I nodded. "Yes, Lyn. I'm really sorry. I'll just come back next time, okay?"Celyn huffed before nodding understandably. "Alright then. There's still next time, especially at Chabtal and Ethan's wedding."I smiled peacefully and held my friend's hands. "Thank you very much, Lyn.""How's t
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 44- "Getting back..."
It was awkward because we were traveling together, facing each other, but nobody was talking, and silence completely filled the atmosphere. "I'm so sorry, General Manager," I spoke first, and I meant that. He only crossed his arms and remained silent. "We missed our supposed scheduled flight and this was, I think, the reason why you had to resort to paying for a private flight like this which I am so sure many times costs higher than the commercial one. It was my fault. If it weren't because of me, you wouldn't need to be spending much for air travel." He looked at me expressionlessly. "It's alright. Don't mind it." I just sighed. He didn't seem to take this as a really big deal because maybe paying for expensive things wasn't a big deal for him at all most of the time. "Just do your work properly as my secretary and don't cause any pain in my a$$ when we get there, you got it?" I grinned softly and nodded. "Noted, Sir. No worries." He nodded and looked away. I remembered aski

A Desire To Last A Lifetime 46- "Hot kisses..."
"Tamara? Are you ready?"I trembled a bit as I heard Fabio knocking on my room’s door. I looked at the wall clock and saw that it was past six in the evening. I hurriedly put on my silver earrings and checked myself in the full-length mirror for the last time before going out.What I was wearing was a black halter bodycon dress. I paired it with white stilettos and a white purse.It was a great thing I brought with me a nice dress made by the brand of our very own Davis Elegance. But I was a bit nervous to face Fabio because I didn’t know if he’d like it or what. I was feeling a little pressured.He came on knocking once again. “Hey, Tamara, are you there inside? Are you alright? I couldn’t hear your voice, sweetheart.”I sighed and tried my very best to get myself together. “Yes, General Manager. Almost done. I'm going out now.”Needed to cover up the pressure with poise and confidence, so that I would stand out and wouldn’t be obvious that I was actually nervous about going out with
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 47- "Someone I knew!"
Fabio and I were both catching our breaths as he gently pushed me to break the kiss.“We’re here…” he said in a very low deep voice.I glanced at the window and saw that he was indeed right. We were already in front of a restaurant and I couldn’t believe I wasn’t aware the vehicle had already come to halt, and that just simply meant I was too invested in the emotion and fire I thought were about to ignite that I was so distracted and I didn’t notice we already arrived at our destination!My eyes shifted to Fabio once again and his face was serious, dark, and he wasn’t looking at me. His gazes were focused somewhere else and not on me. I felt a bit embarrassed and disappointed. Did he just regret that we actually kissed? Did he not enjoy it the way I did? D*mn it! I quietly shook my head to myself and stopped getting so overly dramatic. Alright. He kissed me, I kissed him back. I did enjoy it and I didn’t know if he felt the same because I really couldn’t read his mind, but whether he
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 48- "Walter and Wendy..."
"Walter?" I decided to finally call the person by his name.And that was enough to get his attention as well as the attention of the woman with him. Their gazes both turned to me.Walter was surprised as he eventually came to recognize me.“Tamara?” he uttered in a tone he couldn’t almost believe he would see me here.I smiled and nodded. Yeah, he was really my friend—Walter Mendoza.He walked to me and the quiet woman behind him followed while not breaking eyes on me.“Tamara, it’s really you!” He chuckled when he was in front of me and held me on my shoulders having a closer look and making sure he was seeing me before his eyes. “Hey, what’s up? How are you doing, man?” He hugged me in his usual friendly manner.I chuckled, too, and responded to his friendly gesture. “I’m alright, man! How are you doing, too?”When we separated from that quick hug, he cockily shrugged his arm.“Fine, as usual. Anyway, what are you doing here in Hong Kong, huh? I thought you were in the Philippines?”

A Desire To Last A Lifetime EPILOGUE
(Tamara's POV) "Wait, Fab…" I grabbed my boyfriend's arm as we walked. He looked at me. "Are you sure about this? I worry that your mom is still mad about what happened…" He softly tapped my hand, giving me assurance. "She's not mad at you, believe me, Tamara. She's even nagging me to bring you into our house to be finally introduced as my girlfriend." It has been a month since we settled and cleared things up between the two of us, and then we started to be officially exclusively dating. Now, it's time that he's going to bring me to their house to introduce me to his family as his girlfriend. I couldn't help but worry. What if they're still disappointed? What if they won't accept me? "Hey, stop being so negative, and just cheer up, alright?" I nodded and finally smiled, gaining courage. "Yeah. You're right, Fab." He smiled and we continued to walk. I was surprised and very thankful that Fabio was indeed right because despite all the things that happened, the Wynnfors still
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 80- "Forgiveness & realizations."
I cut her off and silenced her with my lips.She was fighting it and resisting the urge to kiss me back."That would be our rule for today. Everytime that I'm talking and you're gonna butt in, interrupting me, I'm gonna punish you with kisses. Is that clear, baby?""No! F*ck you! Release me now, Fabio! D*mn it!""What happened in the mall, it wasn't like what you thought it was—""I'm not listening to you, idiot—"Since she butt in and interrupted me, I had to give her her punishment. I kissed her. Deeper and more passionate this time around.She still tried to fight it.And because she was betraying the urge of her own body, I have to make her realize how she wants me, too.My hot kisses went down to her neck and I started to lift the hem of her blouse, making my hand on the way to her breast and squeezed her. And she moaned at that."Fabio, please…"I chuckled huskily. "Please what, babe?""Stop…"She didn't mean that. From the need and fire of lust I could see in her eyes, I knew h
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 79- "Untie me!"
She was so dumbfounded that I confronted her and taught her a lesson like that."Jad—""No buts, Priscilla. And mind you, know your place. You are not my girlfriend anymore, and I can never go back to you. You are just a business partner at this moment and you are obliged to follow my rules the next time you wanna see me and talk to me, especially here in my office."Speechless, that what was she completely turned into."Not to mention, I knew what you did to Tamara, Priscilla. You were trying to shame and embarrass her to the public.""What?! H-how did you know about it?" She was starting to get nervous."Not too important how I did find out about it. But if you dare doing that again, if you dare lay a finger on even a single strand of her hair, I'm warning you, I would not like it. You know me, Priscilla, and you know how evil I could go when I see things I do not like. I would make sure that you wouldn't either like what I could go to you and to your family business—""Jad, please!
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 78- "Taking side..."
I thought we, both family sides, were just waiting for the tentative schedule to be married, but then something very unexpected happened. One day, her mother came to a presscon shocking all of us with her announcement that her daughter's engagement with me was canceled and Tamara was not marrying me anymore.The supposed marriage was cut short, and it was all because of Chris Salvatore who butt in the situation. He was appointed by his family to be the new founder and Chairman of S-Tech, and upon my investigation, S-Tech invested millions to help the Davis Elegance rise once again.Lucille Davis, Tamara's mom, knew that they would no longer be needing the Wynnfors because Chris himself acted like a hero to them and she was thinking they already have the Salvatores and their investment and therefore, they dumped us just like that.I didn't get mad totally at them, though, especially to her mother, because it was their decision. They thought that the greater help knocked on their door s
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 77- "His voice..."
(Fabio's POV)My attention had been caught when I saw somebody familiar at the premises of Wynnfor Apparel.I asked some of the personnel and I had confirmed it was Tamara. I also found out that she applied for a job in our company as one of our fashion designers.I watched her from head to toe. I could remember that the last time I saw her was in the mall after the night that she gave herself completely to me. I couldn't help it! I suddenly felt the throbbing in between my legs! D*mn it! Just by the sight of her could really turn me on so hard!Frowning a bit, I watched her 'til she was out of my sight because she proceeded to the HR for the job interview."Tell the HR right away to hold the interview with that woman."The personnel were a bit appalled. "Sir?"I told it to her once more, firmer and with an emphasizing tone to let her know that I was serious with what I was saying and I knew exactly what I was doing."Hold the interview with her from the HR, and instead, escort her to
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 76- "This is kidnapping!"
He was still in his suit and tie, that's maybe because he just got out from his work, too.His face seemed restless, serious, sad, and mad…"What are you doing here?" I asked bitterly.I could never forget how he made me such a fool by making me believe his flowery words that he likes me, but right after that, I just caught him kissing another woman in the mall!"We have to talk," he said firmly.I chuckled in sarcasm. "Talk? About what? About your cheating and then twisting the story as if I were to blame why you did such a stup*d move, huh?!"He let out a deep breath. "Tamara, you have to listen to me first.""Well, I don't want to because I don't have time for that. After work, I'm gonna be visiting and watching over my dad in the hospital," I said coldly.But he seemed to ignore that. Instead, he insisted, "Let's talk about us, Tamara."I smirked in disbelief. Is this some kind of a joke?! What else are we going to talk about when it's so obvious that he really is an a$$h0le!"Abo
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 75- "A heartbreaker!"
Chris watched her but it wasn't that long because he immediately attended to me. "Hey, are you alright? I'm sorry this has to happen, Tamara.""No, it's alright. Don't mind me. I'm okay, Chris.""Are you sure?"I nodded. "Yes."He sighed."You should've asked Venice, as well, if she was just alright. I admit, I pulled her hair hard because I was so mad at her. She must have been hurting, too."He didn't say a thing."Chris, I guess, somehow, Venice was right. You should've asked her side first before you scolded her," I gave him a gentle, friendly advice.He was quiet but I knew deep within him I was right, too.He simply nodded and gestured the way, "Let's get going now, Tamara. And don't worry, I'll just call her later to talk and patch things up."I smiled and agreed, "Yeah."We went to the department store to shop for some stuff because Chris told me that he was running out of his essentials so he needed to buy new ones.He was busy choosing from the various brands of spray deodor
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 74- "Catfight."
I grinned and I looked at my friend teasingly.Chris nodded formally. "Thanks. But I know."I chuckled. What a conceited man!Priscilla, who seemed not to notice or intentionally was ignoring the man's disinterest towards her, still extended her hand to him. "I'm Priscilla Zakaria, anyway."Chris just looked at her and her hand like subtly telling, 'The-f*ck-I-care-whoever-you-are-because-nobody-asked-and-I-wasn't-any-interested!'After a few seconds, Priscilla finally came to realize the man's indifference. And that embarrassed her a bit, being ignored and straight-up shown before her face that not every man would be lured by her cunningness!Chris turned to me and softly, he asked, "Let's go, Tamara."I smiled and nodded. "Let's go."I put my hand on his arm and he willingly obliged. Such a gentleman to me! But not to, obviously, gold-digging women.Before we went ahead, for the last time, I turned around to look at Priscilla to wave my sweetest goodbye.I smiled in victory against
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 73- "Starstruck!"
I was speechless… He was fantasizing of me becoming his wife? Oh, how I realized I loved that, too!"I really like you, Tamara." He surely stated while his stares focused on my lips."And so do I, Fabio," I admitted without reservation.His eyes became more intense.I resisted my smile though it was still very obvious. "If only you knew, too. I have a crush on you, boss!"His brow raised a bit but then he smiled sheepishly. "You have a crush on me?""Yeah!"We didn't know how exactly, but moments had been quick and we just found ourselves finishing our food and coffee in the shop and we ended up inside Fabio's car to cuddle and make up for the times and days and weeks that we had not been able to be together.His lips claimed mine. I closed my eyes in submission and I responded to his kisses. How I missed his kisses, as well!It was a long but indeed passionate kiss. However, it had to be cut short when I suddenly remembered something or must I say someone, and that's why I had to gen
