Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW
---------------------------------------
I did not expect him to embrace me, hello we are in the hallway next to my classroom. He pinched my nose and even pinch my cheeks too before kissing both sides. This sly best friend of mine is stealing kisses on my cheeks, but I don’t mind it since there’s no meaning in his action.
"Oh my god! Why are you flirting in public?!" It was Lore's sarcastic remark. She has a loudmouth, but that wasn't what called my attention, it was the dean's gaze to me from a short distance.
Our eyes met...
My heart started beating fast, maybe I
------------------------------------Merliah's Point of view----------------------------------Hi, Dean, my love. You told me that I can do whatever I want, which means you are allowing me to court you. I made a poem for you. I am allowing you to feel the thrill of love but never cringe.Can I be?If nothing last forever,Can I be your nothing?If you want to delete somethingCan I be your eraser?Even if you ask nothingI'll give you everything;
----------------------------Merliah's Point of view.--------------------------Your goddess Liah is fresh from the bath! I am not sleepy yet, so I decided to chit chat with Lore over the phone at the balcony of my room."What's the update? How are you, liah?"We are talking on cam in messeng*r so we can see each other's expressions.Since she asked how my day ended, my mind wandered around again. I swear the nervousness I felt that day in his office is still new to me. My heart almost burst at that time. Crazy as it may sound, but I can still smell his lingering scent, so manly!
---------------Merliah’s Point of view----------------'Great timing! He is online.'I smiled sheepishly as I imagined how Dean would react if I chatted with him at this hour.Will he frown and curse at me? or will he remain civil and try to talk to me like elders? Will he scold or preach again?I can't get enough until that lamb gets into my trap.The only content of our conversation was google drive links and a class record spreadsheet. It's a good thing I'm president so it's my job to coordinate with him. However, I am still annoyed because we are not mutu
----------------------------Merliah's Point of view.--------------------------I glanced at my window near the terrace’s door. My eyes were fascinated by the moon that looks like a phantom silver plate hanging in the forlorn sky. An orb that specifically shines in the darknest, as pure white as white pearls. Suddenly the door to the terrace opened, and the curtain moved as well. I saw a shadow, I felt a chill starting to climb on my skin.Who climbed into my room on the second floor of the mansion? Is it a kidnapper or a ghost?Suddenly I felt a cold wind kiss my skin, even my body hairs are seeking to hide, such cold wind is making me curl in fear. The air is breathing
--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW------------------I left a message with Lore when we found a seat. Later came the best actress of the year."Liah?" says Lore, acting all shocked to see our family going to church at the same house prayer they were going to.“What a coincidence. It's good that we went to church together today, ”I said. I turned to Maurice who was sitting next to me. I was between Maurice and mom.In order not to be obvious, I will exchange seats with Mory so that I can sit next to Lore who is next to Maurice. "Mory, let's switch seats."
Merliah's POINT OF VIEW--------------------------It's Monday again, and I can only say one thing… “F*ck you, Monday.” I stretched and sighed for a moment. Today we are moving to Maui, the condo just behind the university. I'm too lazy to go in today, that's why I hate Monday. But good thing because I will be liberated starting today. I am excited to have a pajama party with lore and my trusted friends.Then I got ready and dressed for university. As I passed through the hallway, I met the dean. We looked at each other but he averted his eyes first.“How’s your Sunday, my dean? Miss me? ” I whispered as our shoulders touched."
---------------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW--------------------------I did not expect that his door would open too, at the same moment I opened mine. My nose chased his fragrance... I wonder what perfume he is using. Dean's golden hair had caught my eyes, those strands looked so soft, and it must have a sweet scent.“What are you thinking? Are you up to some naughty thoughts again? If yes, please stop it.”I smiled and greeted him. “Good morning, my dean.”“I told you to stop claiming me. Gosh, this is ridiculous.” He started to walk but also stopped to say, “Don&rsquo
---------------------Merliah's Point of view.-------------------I ignored that voice inside my head, then we both laughed. As we chatted, I didn't realize that I would be five minutes late for class. So I bid goodbye to Justin and immediately ran into the university. Whatever I do, even if I fly, I would not reach his class on time. Breathing like a wild horse in a race, I stood at the classroom door, then everyone glanced at me.Damn! I lost my composure.The dean glared at me. I know he's mad again because I'm late again even though he told me to come on time.“I’ll go get an explanatory note, sir.&rdqu
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------We’re looking for a potential home hoping to find one nearby Lore's residence. Unfortunately, there are no more available houses or even lots at all.We dislike the two houses we visited because one has a bad view. While the other one has a small yard, and both are not in a good location.We are now heading to the last house we will inspect, and hopefully, it will be the last because I am tired, to be honest."What do you think of this one?" he said while pointing to the big house, it has two floors, and the outside is beautif
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I was standing alone in a vast garden when all of a sudden a voice had caught my attention.I was distracted when I heard the voice; it kept calling me ‘Daddy!’I couldn’t see the owner’s voice, so I followed the sound of weak laughter.“Come, find me.”I was confused because a new voice was calling me again. I turned around and found a boy standing behind me.
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I tried to close the gap between our faces when suddenly...~ tok ~ tokI almost cried in pain when my back hit the floor because she suddenly pushed me. I fell on the bed. Thus, the floor caught my back.“Brother, we are leaving. Please open the passcode,” Maurice said on the other side of our bedroom door.Good thing that they are leaving… so… I wonder if we can continue despite our ruined moment.I watched her leave as she approached the door until she closed the bedroom door. I deliberately showed that I was sulking or I wasn't in the mood. I frowned when I heard the bedroom door open. I kept quiet and waited for her to notice me or lie down on the bed to rest."Instead of frowning, how about you take the Durex out of the drawer?"
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------My brother and sister-in-law are hanging out today in our humble pad because there might be less chance of us seeing and comfortably bonding like this as they will live far from us."Who are you talking to?" Maurice asked lore. He noticed his wife was laughing while holding her phone.“Ah, I talked to my former classmate in a specialized course at Oxford. This acquaintance of mine is talking about the one who liked me last year. He's still broken.”"So?" Maurice asked with a frown, and his eyebrow furrowed.“That guy who liked me back then has a friend who was also broken-hearted because of Liah”"Who are you referring to?" I asked innocently. I don't remember anyone trying to woo me during my stay in Oxford.“Remember that guy who a
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------Watching a movie with Max without the fear of getting caught by my fellow students nor his fellow faculty is so rewarding. We never tried dating in a cinema or public place during university days back then. I didn't know it was worth the shot.We had used to just binge watch in his dormitory when he was my professor and our college dean. We have to avoid seeing familiar faces and getting entangled with gossip.I leaned my head on the shoulder of my betrothed while his right arm rested on my shoulder. We are not fond of romantic movies, so the genre we chose is mixed with action; since we both have the same taste in movies.
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I heard steps coming from sandals approaching me. However, I didn’t look back to see whoever came to me. I never lose my gaze at the motion of the cloud from here in the hotel garden."What are you doing here? Are you upset because you had to move your wedding to next year instead of getting married this year?”I turned around and smiled at mommy. We are never close, but I am not mad with my parents. We're just not close since they are always busy. Even though Maurice inherited daddy's company, we still didn't have the chance to bond with our parents, they never reached out, and the same goes for us. We only me
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------"Hey, what are you doing there?" I patted Maurice with my foot.“Liah”“It's late, why are you sleeping outside? Don’t tell me you forgot the passcode of your pad? Why don't you call me Lore?”"She changed the passcode and forbade me to let me in."I scratched my head as I tried to figure out what had happened to the two of them. Lore probably got mad at my twin again."Wait, I'll just put these i
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I stood in the body-sized mirror of the hotel where our wedding was being held. My heart was pounding as I listened to the sound of a large clock hanging on the wall.“This is it, liah. Today you will become Mrs. Dereux,” I whispered.Later I heard the door open. I turned around and saw a man holding the door, and I wondered why he wasn’t walking closer to me. He just stared at me from head to toe.I was nervous seeing his reaction, he was not the epitome of the happy man who's about to get married to the love of his life.“W-What’s wro
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------After quarreling, spending time together without worries is a must to fix the gap in our intimacy. We decided to spend quality time outside today because we've been busy these past few daysWe deserve this date. I want to do what we couldn't do when we were still at Elysian University. I want to go to those places that we couldn't go to when I was her dean and professor because we were afraid of backlash in our relationship.The first place we visited was the playground near MAUI. It was the place where Max kissed me next to the swing. I still have these uncontrollable butterflie
