Sariel's point of view I stayed in the car for a moment, fixing myself. I wanted to look presentable when I faced Maddox. With sweaty hands, I opened the car door and got out, recalling the address of his condo. 123 Ventura's Towers Penthouse 1430 143 Prestige Avenue Metropolis, ST 010143 It's only now sinking in on me that this is Ventura's tower and that he lives in a penthouse! I felt frozen where I stood, wondering if I should go through with this. But of course, my only options were to continue or continue. I was so brave before, but now that I'm here, will I back down? I walked to the elevator and pressed the button for the penthouse floor. Once inside the lift, I tensed up again. Inhaling deeply and closing my eyes, I prayed that he would be inside his penthouse right now. I wouldn't allow my arrival here to go to waste. When the elevator halted and the doors opened, I exited and searched for his door. I turned left and right, spotting a narrow, well-lit hallway with n
Sariel's point of view I was sitting in his living room, fiddling with my cellphone. He left me here for an hour and never came back. Is he really going to make me sleep here? I was busy scrolling on my phone when the doorbell rang. I raised an eyebrow. Is he expecting someone? I glanced at the room where Maddy went earlier. After a minute, he still hadn't come out. I hesitated, unsure whether to open the door or not. The doorbell rang three more times, so I stood up and opened the door. Whatever it is, it's his life. He was taking so long to come out. My eyes widened when I opened the door. The man outside was about to knock on my face, but he stopped when he saw the door was already open. There were two of them, and the one behind him was peeking at me. "Where's Madd—oops, the grumpy man has a special guest?" The man spoke as if he had just seen a beautiful woman for the first time—and that woman was me! "Oh, are you friends with Maddy? He's still in his room. He hasn't come ou
Sariel's point of view I suddenly woke up when I felt something caressing my thigh up and down. I turned around to see who it was. I couldn't see his face because it was dark and my eyes were still blurry, but he smelled familiar, like he had been drinking too. I'm still rubbing my eyes. "I want you, all of you." He said, "I want to feel you inside me, deep inside me," and he grabbed me to sit on his lap. Goosebumps broke out across my arms. I wrinkled my nose because the stench from his breath made it itch. "Huh? What do you mean?" I innocently asked him. As if on cue, he began undressing my pants. I waggled at his grip, and I immediately covered my body. "You're drunk!" I screamed at his face. But he ignored me and just continued what he was doing. "It's not the right time to do it, but I can wait until you reach legal age. I will be here again on your debut birthday." He groans in my ears. "No! What are you doing? I don't like what you are doing; don't touch me!" I squealed
Sariel's point of view I woke up because I felt someone staring at me, and when I opened my eyes, I met the eyes of the person I adore. Just kidding, no flirting right now! I'm still hungover from what happened last night. He was just staring at me, as if I'd disappear if he blinked. I snapped my fingers in front of his face, and he blinked twice. "Good morning! I had a good sleep," I beamed excitedly, acting like I didn't have a terrible dream last night. It’s one of my quirks, pretending nothing terrible happened. A line appeared between his brows. "Are you sick?" He raised his eyebrows at me, looking at me as if he couldn't believe how I was acting now, given that last night I was on the verge of fainting. "Nope. I'm perfectly fine," I said as I got up. I forgot that I was wearing his long-sleeve shirt, and I wasn't wearing a bra or pants. He quickly looked away. "Oops, I'm sorry. I sneaked into your room last night, and good thing it was open. Don't worry, this is all I borr
Sariel's point of view Their call time is seven, and it's five o'clock. I first went up to the room I stayed in at Meli's house. Yeah, I have my own room here. My uncle is in the house always, sometimes, and everywhere, so I stay here whenever I don't want to go home. It's fine with my mom; as far as I know, Tito Finn's attention isn't on her, but on me. Now, he is not as strict, and this is what frightens me—I am concerned that he may be preparing for something terrible. I just took a deep breath and pushed those thoughts away. I need to enjoy tonight first. Enjoy now, suffer later? After I finished getting ready, I called Meli to help me with the food. I just changed clothes and will shower at their place—I’m not smelly yet, e. Meli immediately helped me, as I still had to bring everything to the car. She said that Lowe and the others would meet us at the rest house. They offered to pick us up, but I said it was okay and that Meli and I could manage. After arranging everything, we
Third Person's Point of View After they finished watching Nétflix, they all arranged themselves in a circle around the mini-table. They were going to play truth or dare, but Meli said there was no thrill with truth or dare, so it was just going to be dares. But before they started, they each took a shot of the cocktail they had made. Once they're a bit tipsy, the dares will be more intense. Meli was holding a medium-sized teddy bear. The rules were that they would sing while passing the teddy bear around, and when she said "stop," that’s when they would begin the dare. The twist was that they had to close their eyes while singing, and only Meli could say "stop." "Make sure your time will stop correctly, Meli," Kenzie hissed at her, and she just rolled her eyes. "Of course! Do none of you trust me?" she teased. Once they completed each dare, they took another cocktail shot and continued the game. They really wanted to get wasted tonight. They decided to start with their song of
Third Person's Point of View They continued playing. Kenzie cursed when Meli stopped the game several times, as his dare was to sit in the room's corner and remain silent until the completion of the next dare. They all laughed because he really looked like a fool, just watching them until the dare was over. The teddy bear's next victim was Owen, who dared to let someone else tickle him, and Kaelyn volunteered. She tried not to laugh at Owen but eventually did because of his expression. Owen did everything he could not to laugh, but everyone was already laughing, with some even crying from amusement. He looked like he was constipated, and his face was indescribable. Once he let out a laugh, he faced unpleasant consequences. After each successive dare, they continued taking a shot of the cocktail. The Bacardi and vodka had a high alcohol percentage, so they were starting to get tipsy. They knew it didn’t quite match the vibe of beer bottles and whiskey, but the combination of cozy
Third Person’s Point of View “Kuya Knight, my head hurts. Huhuhu, am I dying? Kaelyn started crying. "I don't want to die," she said. “What? You’re not dying; it’s just a headache. Don’t overreact,” Knight spat, handing her a glass of water. “But—it hurts so bad. If I’m dying, let me eat ice cream. Huhu, I want ice cream.” Kaelyn continued crying to her brother, but without any tears. It's like invisible tears. “I said you’re not dying!” Knight yelled at her. “But let me eat ice cream anyway; huhuhu, I’m going to tell mom you're bullying me!” Kaelyn whined. “Sariel?! Babe! Where are you?!” Meli shouted, searching for Sariel. When Sariel heard Meli’s voice, she forced herself to get up, even though her vision was doubling. Maddox, who was beside her, cursed and helped her sit up. “What? What?” Sariel looked around to find Meli, and when their eyes met, Meli immediately approached her and shook her. “You’re pretty, I’m pretty, and we are the co-presidents of Club Pretty!” Meli
