A Desire To Last A Lifetime 66- "Gratitude."
"WHAT did your best friend tell you, Tamara?" Mom asked me seriously soon as the call with Chris ended.I turned to her, teary-eyed and full of hopes in this life again!"Chris is truly a heaven-sent, mom! He is our savior! He is going to save our family from all of this mess!"I hugged her and she hugged me.It felt like we could breathe again because of how positive this morning has brought us! Especially from Chris's good news and his huge offer of help.I told mom everything that Chris and I talked about—the seventy-million that Chris is offering as an investment to Davis Elegance, the assurance that aside from our friendship, it's purely business intentions and Chris will not ask for anything in return that is against my will, and everything about my best friend's kindness towards our family!"Finally! A true help from a true family friend with genuine intentions!" mom commented, feeling so grateful.I couldn't agree more!But then I suddenly took the hint too that she was subtly
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 67- "Cancelled."
"YES, I am confirming it. The engagement between my daughter, Tamara Davis, and the heir of Wynnfor Group of Companies, Fabio Wynnfor, is officially canceled."My brother and I was so shocked to have seen and watched the latest news. We didn’t see it coming that mom would entertain a presscon today to let the public know that we’re cancelling my engagement with Fabio Wynnfor.She just canceled it and faced on a presscon without consulting it to me first and without letting my brother and I know! She did it without discussing to us about it!"What the h*ck? Did mommy talk to you about this, Tamara? Did she mention to you that she's going on a presscon today?" my bro asked me.I shook my head. "No, she didn’t. We haven’t talked about it that’s why I’m also shocked to see this.”It's been a few days since we told mom about the good news that S-Technology's investment in our company was successfully approved.I had no idea she would make a move today upon canceling the deal with the Wynnf
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 68- "Hasty decision."
To know who it was, I handed the phone and spoke, "Hello?""Tamara, hija? Hello? Is this you?"I closed my eyes. This is what I'm saying!Though she wasn't introducing herself yet, I could recognize her soft-spoken voice. I knew it's Fabio's mom."Yes, this is me speaking. Is that you, auntie?""Yes, Tami. I called because I, actually, our whole family, have already watched your mom's interview and she canceled the agreement of your supposed engagement to my son?" Her voice sounded sad and a bit disappointed.I couldn't help but feel bad for them. Though, I didn't want this marriage to push through, still I couldn't support the disrespect that my mom caused to their family."I've been contacting her but she's not picking up, that's why I decided to give you a call instead," she explained.I didn't know what to say. Seriously.She continued, and this time, she did not hold on her sentiments anymore. "What is this, hija? Is your mom serious about what she said there? Why all of a sudden
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 69- "Special."
"Hello, sexy hardworking woman!'I looked at the opened door and it was Chris who visited me to work today.I stood up to greet him "Chris, hi!"I couldn't help but feel pressured because right now, he isn't just a friend but as a VIP because he has the biggest share of Davis Elegance."Come on. No need for ultra formalities. Take a seat," he said casually and pointed my chair."Yeah!" I shrugged and laughed it off, realizing that I shouldn't be too pressured because though he's a big boss, nothing has changed with our friendship and we can still be like our normal ways toward each other. I pointed to the visitor's chair, too. "You, too. Sit down.""I will. Thanks." He cooly occupied it like he was just comfortably sitting at his house like he always does everywhere."So, how does it feel going back to work? I mean, to your original work inside your family's company?"I smiled and tilted my heart. "Oh, I definitely love it! How I missed working!"True as it is, I really missed this. I
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 70- "Something you didn't want to do..."
Her eyes widened in thrill and excitement. "Really, hija?"She even looked at mom who seemed to share the same reaction.I nodded. "I believe Chris and I treat each other special because we've been best friends for so long and we even see each other as siblings."And after saying that, sudden sadness and discouragement could be seen from both auntie and mom's reactions.It was as if they didn't get the thing nor heard what they wanted to hear.Why? What were they expecting me to say? That I would pretend as if there is something romantic between Chris and I when I know for sure that there isn't any? No. Just no.I never wanted to lie just to make them happy or for the sake of it. I'm sorry that I have to make their bubbles burst but there's really nothing I can do because I'm really not willing to ride on it as I'm not into it."Uhm, I thought there's something going on between you and my son…"I was about to say there wasn't, until mom stood beside me and interrupted what I was going
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 71- "What a behavior!"
I could already have assumptions in my mind as to what they were talking about, but they needed to be confirmed personally, to prove that they were true.She didn't sell her young body for money, did she? She just couldn't! She's way beautiful and she has a lot of a bright future ahead of her! I would be so sad if she settled to use her body to earn as the last option she had that very time.It was Barbie that spoke for her behalf, "She didn't have a choice but accept the only gig that could provide her money overnight, Miss. She danced in a stag party.""In a stag party!" I exclaimed.Barbie nodded."Did they go 'overboard?' I asked directly.I knew that when I said that, they already got what I was exactly asking about.Leigh shook her head gently. "They didn't. You don't have to worry. I never offered to earn a money by exchanging my body for s*x, Miss Tamara."That somehow relieved me. It was good to know she didn't resort to selling her body."What she only did, Miss Tamara, was
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 72- "Becoming my wife..."
How I wanted to cry! My heart breaks for Fabio because mom is insulting him like this, and I don't even think he deserves any of this!Fabio stared at him. I looked at him apologetically. Seeing him vulnerable as today felt like making me even more vulnerable inside!Despite hurtful words he had received, he still remained gentle and polite towards my mom."I'll get going now, auntie."Mom's response was just a smirk.I only shook my head in sadness and disappointment towards her rudeness at him.He waved goodbye to me, as well. "Tamara, please take good care of yourself."I nodded and controlled myself not to let out a tear. "You, too. Take good care of yourself, Fabio. And I'm sorry for all of this."He softly nodded and he went out of the door. I watched him 'til he drove his car away.I suddenly noticed the bouquet of flowers at the table. Did he suppose to give that to me, that's why he came here today unexpectedly?My heart wanted to sink all over again!I threw mom an annoyed l
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
