My body whirled around, trying to get away from him. Feeling uncomfortable with his action and the shock that I'm having right now. The shock that he did this.He places his lip on mine before sliding his tongue inside my mouth making me flinch away from that but his grip on my body makes it hard for me to move even an inch away from his towering body. I feel something touch my tongue and a weird taste of something that I couldn't figure out. The action was so sudden and fast before he finally shift his head away."Isn't this what you are trying to get hm?" He said while groaning, hand still roaming around my body, moving dangerously down touching my bare thigh.His touch sent a shiver through my whole body, especially in between my thigh. I feel something tingling down there and something stuck in my throat.When his nose brushed against my nipple and I almost let out a sound at the contact. My body flushes in heat and heavy breath left my slightly open mouth. Taking as much oxygen a
"No Rosa I can't" I tried to explain to her the reason that I couldn't attend today's dinner with her family because I was busy but like usual she wouldn't even listen to me.My sigh fills the whole space inside my room while my hands keep roaming around the file lying in front of me. It was an awful sight for me the mess displayed after my eyes."But Angela! Everyone is here and they want you here!" I move away a little as her loud voice pierces my eardrum."Yes, I know just... I'm busy-"It was true that I'm busy but the real reason is still because of the one person who I know by heart will be there and probably... will be there.I couldn't see him. Not physically. Not only because of the night when we shared a kiss but also because of the night when I met him at the ball.I don't know how my reaction will be if I ever see him at this moment. It was all so messy and chaotic inside my head. I couldn't put one to one puzzle and gather all information in just a week-well 5 days to be
Maybe this is a terrible idea. The loud rumbling sound from the sky above accompanies every drop of water pouring onto the ground where I'm seated. Looks like it's going to rain for a while. No one's around at this hour, and here I am, eating instant noodles with soda. I know it's not the healthiest dinner option, or maybe it's way past dinnertime, but I'm in a tight spot. As long as my stomach is filled with something that won't keep me awake all night, I'm good with it. I should leave now since the shop is about to close, but that's my problem – always unprepared. I forgot to bring an umbrella, and unfortunately, I spent all my money on food, so I can't buy one now. I curse under my breath at my stupidity. I should've just ordered takeout and stayed home, but now I'm stuck here, contemplating whether to make a run for it. My apartment isn't too far from the store, but maybe it's better to wait until the rain stops. I don't want to get sick now. The guy working here looks at me
"Love exists between a woman pretending and a man pretending" "So who's the host?" I asked the girl who stood beside me while clutching my arm a little tighter over the loud chatter around us. Glass hitting against one another and people's voices fill the big hall, a soft and vague melody coming from the band playing as a piece of background music. Rosa, my stepsister or more like my best friend giggles as the look of discomfort contorts my thin makeup-covered face. I didn't feel good today to put on heavy makeup over my breakout face but what can I say when Rosa De Luca, the girl who wouldn't shut up if I refused her offered of this great idea to accompany her to this- another one of the party. I mean is not that I hate parties but is it just not my thing- especially when I am struggling with the girl problem right now but since I've been isolating myself in my small apartment over the past weeks- why not. She gasped an exaggerated gasp when I asked her that but I ignored her litt
Stepping into the hallways again with now fewer people around crowding the big space like before as the clock now strike 12 in the midnight. One hand clutching over my phone securely with my small bag hanging on my shoulder. I strolled around the big hall again with my half sleepy state as my eyes wandered around the room to look for Rosa around the place and when I couldn't see her I dialed her number hurriedly. beep- ; Rosa ; Angela! where are you? ; I'm going home now ; Wait- I cut the call off without waiting for her to reply and stride toward the big mahogany door again when I feel it, My stomach twists like never before making it harder for me to stable my position. I bent my body a little to the front and held onto the cold tiles walls. Inhale-exhale, I repeated the same action over the past minutes until the feeling started to fade away a little when another pain struck my stomach and my breath hitched. shit. I stood silently at the corner of the empty hall as I tried
Despite meeting him twice yesterday, I still didn't know who he is and it seems like my brain couldn't recognize him at all. I remember the pitch black and dark brownish eyes color of him looking into mine but the memory was hazy in my brain. Furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. I couldn't remember when I came up here last night and how. I remember falling asleep right on the kitchen counter but no memory of me walking up here invaded my mind. I woke up not in my best mood this morning with a slight pain still in my stomach that makes me hiss a little in irritation. I stayed on the bed for almost two hours straight staring at the beautiful ceiling facing me from above. The thought of a blurry face occupied my mind as I tried hard to remember the man's face. I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't seem to let the thought of him go. This is stupid. Distracting myself with other thoughts, my body jolts on the bed into a seat position while glancing at the clock hanging on the
Weeks pass in a blink of my eyes and I am back to my daily and dull life where every day I will have to wake up early in the morning and get to my workplace. In the evening, I will have short classes for the language that I am taking. Currently, I am learning a new language for future use. My boss said that it will be easier for me to communicate with my client in the future although I have no interest whatsoever. I should have probably just stopped taking the class. I scowl at the thought of the man. His name itself gives me an unpleasant feeling. The day continues as if nothing had happened just a few weeks ago and I am glad that I finally can let the thought of the only person lingering in mind long enough then it is supposed to be out of my mind. My classes ended earlier than I thought it was supposed to end, considering how I keep losing my focus during the class. I use the time left to relax as all the studies make me have a headache and sore muscles all over my body. I roll
I was told by one of the girls from the club that someone had accompanied me yesterday when I asked them who took me to the hotel room and the answered remains the same which left me to grimace by the confusion and slight disbelief. They all had gone home and left me here all alone with a stranger? No problem. I ignore the teasing the girls are throwing at me inside the group chat in irritation. Can't they tell that I'm angry right now? I feel even more irritated when I couldn't remember the man. But something feels strange when I tried to remember yesterday's event. The man feels familiar but then with my situation yesterday, I'm not so sure anymore. What's wrong with me and keep forgetting? I'm not like this. I let my guard down too much and the thought doesn't satisfy me. I hold a piece of paper in my hand, the words are well written and neat on the paper surface and whoever left me the note is stupid. 'You are lucky I didn't lose control yesterday' -Vince My frown gets dee

I never asked Rosa what her family did because I respect her and her family's privacy and I never asked my mother about any of this but when a piece of the puzzle connects, it makes me dizzy.Who is Vincenzo? and why is he involved in all of this?For once I didn't want to believe what my mind started to believe.I never agree or like doing what I'm doing but when I discover all the truth about all these men, all these kinds of people. It always makes me sick.Politics, Drugs dealer, Human trafficking-List all of it, I was forced to deal with it. Why? because once upon a time I was good at being a puppet for Luigi and now I regret ever coming across all these people. Him.As a child, my parents were always busy and rarely spent time with me due to their work, at night I always listen to them bickering about everything, sometimes even at dinner.They thought that I was a kid I would never understand what they are talking about but as I grew older in my teens year my curiosity about al
I look at Luigi moving around his office with one hand holding a glass of whiskey in it, whiles in a while twirling its content before bringing it up to his lips.His shoe tapping against the recently polished tiles floor annoyed me to no end but I keep silent and watched him carefully from where I was seated."He will attend tonight's ball while his partner has some business to do- he will be attending alone, I want you to dig everything I wanted to know out of him. Do whatever you have to do, seduce him, get him into bed- I don't care what but all I wanted to know is what he is up to and where he hides all this time-" his body turn in my direction, eyes already moving up and down my attired before frowning, I almost rolled my eyes but keep it to myself and instead answer him in a monotone."I will get ready when I'm back and headed there before he did"Luigi didn't look convinced and narrowed his eyes at me."No I will ask one of my men to take you home and drop you off, wear the dr
I sigh in contentment when finally my skin comes in contact with the water flowing down my entire body making me shiver in coldness when I realize that I have yet to turn the water heater. Switching it on with just one click I continue cleaning my once sweaty body and get my business done. I took my time in the shower before I step inside my room and get changed into something comfortable. A plain big t-shirt with a short come along with it. The best stay-at-home fits ever. I was contemplating with myself for about another half a minute whether I should put on my bra or not because honestly, I wasn't feeling like wearing it right now, especially when I'm at home but the thought that I wasn't alone was the problem here. The t-shirt is big enough to not stick to my body
The next day comes as quickly and although I only get to sleep for 6 hours I woke up with a fresh sensation surrounding me. I look to my side to see if Rosa was still sleeping on my side but I find it empty and unoccupied. This has somehow become my habit right after I woke up to see if someone was beside me or not. My only guess is that she was sleeping downstairs. I shrugged the thought off before quickly getting myself out of the bed only to be pushed back by the sound of the door creaking open on my left. As quickly as the sound makes it to my ear my head turns automatically to look at the subject of the unknown presence. I let out a squeak of surprise by him almost naked standing in front of the bathroom door followed by the smell of his man cologne making its way out of the bathroom that's been occupied just a couple of minutes ago and going through my nostril. Did he use up all his shampoo or what? "What are you doing here?" I almost half-shouted at him if not because of m
I spend a night at Rosa's place and I was relieved to find out that Vincenzo is not staying around tonight or I don't know how am I going to act around him. He makes me act like a teenage girl with unstable hormones. Rosa said that her father had asked him to accompany us for the night but due to important work he couldn't stay any longer than a day. My mother come home earlier than expected because she said that work end quickly as it went well. I'm glad that finally, I'm able to see my mother after a whole week of not seeing her. We spend the night together, just the three of us. Although the house seems quiet despite the lack of people around but the two people whom I know by heart are enough to light up this quiet place. I excused myself after long hours of talking and watching a movie that was only displayed as background music. Pretending to be sleepy because, if I don't do that they will not let me go anywhere and for once I need a break from all the gossiped that they have
I get dressed shortly after the encounter with Vincenzo and the rage inside me which I don't know why It still there. Honestly, I don't know why I'm angry in the first place. Isn't like what he said is wrong. In fact, I am troubled. Only if I could just let this out to someone but it wasn't as easy. Sighed. My thought shift to meeting him today. This is so hard. I should have gotten ready now and made a move. I've been dragging this out so many times, he wouldn't be so happy if I skip today. Only God knows what's coming to me if I didn't see him today. That crazy psycho is unpredictable. I texted Rosa to inform her of my leaving but she seems busy as it shows one tick to the message that I send, indicating that she's not yet received my text and her status shows offline. I don't bother to pack all my stuff to bring it with me as I will be staying here for a little while. Once prepared, I take a look at myself one last time before leaving Rosa's room to take my leave carefully as
