Darren Conte"What are you laughing about?" I turned to my friends who were already looking at me. "Nothing""You were laughing.""Is it the new girl?" Landon asked."There's a new girl?" Justin smirked. "No one." I hissed. "What are you smiling about then?" Wesley walked into the room and he's late. "Nothing." "Calista's wedding is in a week, are going to come?" Justin asked."Yes, how about you guys?" I asked."I can't." Wesley said."I'll go." Jonah said."Me too." Landon said."I'm taking your sister." I said and Wesley's eyes widen. He looked like he's going to kill me."Wait! Sister? What do you mean sister? Juliet? Isn't Juliet missing?" Justin asked completely confused."What do you mean you're taking my sister? Don't tell me that you're going to make Calista believe that you already move on." "Smart boy, besides she owes me because she crashed my car." "She's still my sister and no, I'm not going to let you go with her." He shook his head."It's her choice." "Hello..
Summer Nollan"This is really good." I said to my mom. It's Saturday noon and I just woke up an hour ago. Yes, I sleep more than 12 hours. The bed is too nice and I'm enjoying it."Really? You like it?" She asked."Yes, I do. Thank you." I smiled."Welcome and I'm glad that you liked it." "So where are you going today, Jul?" My dad asked as he entered the dining room."Musical concert.""Oh? Alone?" He asked as he sat across me. Mom gave him a glass of orange juice. "I was supposed to go with Hanni but she can't. She gave me her ticket and Wesley told me that Darren likes it so I gave him one." I said without stopping making my mom chuckle. "When is the concert?" "6.30 pm." Mom and dad looked at the clock."That's like.. 2 hours left." She said as she turned back to me."Yes.""Go into the shower and I'll get a dress for you." She said and I shook my head."No, no need. I don't need a dress." I said."But it's a musical concert.""I'll just wear a skirt and-""Go shower and I'll h
Summer Nollan"Are you sure about this?" Hanni asked me through the phone. "Yes.""Why do you want to help him? I don't get it. Why?" She's confused."I don't know." I answered as I packed somethings inside my luggage. "You're weird." "Well thanks." I said sarcastically. "How was the concert?" "It was beautiful, I really can't describe it with words." I squealed. "Did Darren come with you?" "He did." I said as I laid on my bed. "So did you guys hold hands?" She teased and I rolled my eyes even she can't even see me."No! Why would I? He hates me and I hate him." "Yeah, whatever." She said in a teasing tone."Talk to you later, I have to pack." I ended the call. It's almost 6 pm and I haven't pack a single thing because I was so busy with college. Next week there will be exams and this week, the professors gave us some time to prepare. When I told my parents about Darren inviting me to his friend's wedding, they were okay with it. I think they allowed me because Wesley will b
Summer Nollan"Your room." He said coldly as he gave the card to me. "Okay." We went up to the 7th floor and went straight into my room. I put my luggage on the floor and opened it. I changed my clothes and decided to take a walk around. I went from shops to shops and surprisingly there's a lot vintage shops around the hotel. I decided to buy some snacks before going back to the hotel. "Hey.. hey! You dropped this." Someone poked me and I turned around. He was holding my key chain and I smiled."Thank you." "Welcome." He walked away and I went back to the hotel. The next morning..My alarm went off right a 5am and I decided to go for a run. I changed my clothes and walked out from the hotel. After an hour, my brother called. "Yes, your majesty?" "Where are you?""Currently running, I'm.. near McDonalds." "Come back to the hotel, aren't you going to welcome brother?" "Right. I'll be there." I said and hung up. I ran back to the hotel and found my brother talking to Darren. I w
Summer Nollan"Do you like it?" Justin asked as I ate the meat. "It's really good." I smiled."Glad that you like it, it's one of my favorite place when I come here." "Do you come here often?" "Not often but I can say.. once a month." He said as he pur more meat on my plate. His phone rang and he showed me my brother's name on the screen. "Yes, she's with me. We're eating Korean BBQ, we didn't like the food in the wedding so we decided to go out, she's fine, I'll take care of here, yes, don't worry." With that he hung up. "I think you.. silent your phone." He said and my eyes widen. I quickly took my phone out and nodded."I did. I'm sorry.""It's okay." He chucklee."Justin, can you recommend me some awesome places here in Seattle?" I asked."Yeah sure, are you planning to extend your stay?" "Yes, I am.""Alone?""Yes." I nodded."Do you want me to travel around with you?" He smiled."You're not busy?" "How long do you plan on staying here?" "3 days, I have to be back by Frid
Juliet NollanAfter the wedding, I never saw Darren again. We both hate each other a lot so it doesn't matter. I've been spending a lot of time with Justin, he's really sweet and be a gentlemen around me.Justin is such a sweet guy but why do I kept thinking about Darren? I'm pretty sure that I'm such an idiot for that. Not to mention that I kept thinking about Darren again and again. I must be crazy. Spending 3 days in Seattle with Justin is a definition of fun. I had a really great time and successfully throw my stress away and now I have to study. "Juliet." I turned to my mom. "Yes?""We kept caling you but you seem to sace out a lot. Are you thinking about someone?" She asked worried."You got more closer to Justin." Dad said in a teasing tone."We're friends.""Why not date him? I think he's a pretty good guy." Mom said."Enough about boys, I don't want to share you yet." My dad chuckled and I gave him a thumbs up for that. "Shane, I think you should tell her." I turned to m
Juliet Nollan "Mom, I.. I don't need any of these." I said looking at the Hermes bags in front of me. We're currently in the VIP room with 5 bags and she wanted me to pick what I want."Just pick.. please." She begged.3 days ago, we took a flight from New York to Dubai. My parents bought Emirates first class tickets for us and I was damn speechless. They asked if I wanted to sit alone or I wanted to sit with Wesley and I chose to sit next to my brother because I'm pretty overwhelmed.It was a crazy experience and Wesley was nice enough to keep up with my annoying rants about the plane. When we arrived in Dubai, we went straight to the 7 stars hotel. They kept surprised me with luxury and we spent the first day with a lot of eating and exploring the beach. The second day was a good one. We went to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. I loved it, Wesley bought me a lot of things from there since I loved the sharks so much. We ate fine dining too and it was a great experience even t
Juliet NollanWe just got home from Dubai and it was a fun experience. I loved every second I was there but I miss New York. My parents told me that my grandparents will take me to Europe next month, they booked a ticket for me already and I'm excited for that. I was about to take a shower when my phone rang. I grabbed it from my bag and it's Darren. I don't even know if I want to take it or not. I looked at it long enough that he stopped calling. Darren Conte: Right outside your house, come down. Instead of ignoring his text, I found myself walking from my room and went downstairs. I opened my door and found him standing beside his car with his hands in his pockets. I walked towards him and stood 5 steps away from him. I looked at him and I almost forgot how much I miss him for the past 3 weeks. He's still look beautiful and cold. "What do you want?" I asked."Just want to apologize, I know it's been 3 weeks but I owed you one." "Okay." I said avoiding his eyes."I'm sorry, I
2 years later.. "Juliet!" I turned to see Hanni screaming my name from afar. I chuckled seeing her and opened my arms widely."I miss you!" I said as she got into my arms. She hugged me tightly, it's been a while since we'be seen each other. She came to London to celebrate my graduation with me. "Hello Dante." I greeted Dante and gave him a brief hug. "Congratulations on finishing school, Jules." Dante said."Thank you!" "We will the folks come?" She asked."They'll come in a few hours, let's go to my apartment! I bought us food!" We got out from the airport and I drove back to my apartment. Hanni can't stop talking about her new business and I'm so happy for her. I'll be going home next month and the launch will take place pretty close.I bought lots of food already because I know they're staving. Hanni ate a lot while Dante was busy eating her left overs. Hanni and Dante's relationship is pretty cute because Hanni is loud while Dante is a good listener. He's not the type who wil
Juliet NollanWesley was trying his best to prevent me from going to London. He hates Darren more for supporting me than when we announced that we're dating. He was begging me and he will pretend to not listen when I talked about how excited I am. I went to London with my grandparents and I loved it even more. Darren and Hanni have been helping me pack and I'm so excited to go there.I've been counting days till I go and Wesley still hate it. I'm going to London tonight and I can't wait for a new chapter in my life. I knocked on Wesley's door and he opened it. He looked at me annoyed that he failed to cancel the plane ticket this time. Yes, he cancelled my flight a few times."Aren't you going to say good bye?" "Don't talk to me about that shit.." He hissed."I told you I'll come home often and I'll hang out with you more often." I said as he gestured me to get inside."Yeah.. no.""Wesley.""Juliet, we're over with this conversation. You won and you're going.." "But I want you to
Juliet Nollan"Come in." My dad called me to his studies and walked in there completely nervous. Everytime Wesley got out of there, his face was just.. on the floor. "Yes, dad." "Sit down." He said and he took off his glasses as he gestured me to sit down. I sat down and he looked at me seriously."Did I do something bad?" "No.""Uhmm.. did you get mad at your credit card balance?" I asked carefully because I bought.. some new gadgets to help me brainstorm my ideas. "No.""What is it then? I'm pretty sure.. I did nothing wrong these days." I said confidently."You're going to London, we can transfer you there for 2 years and have you finish your degree there." My eyes widen and looked at him disbelief. "I can?" "Yes, all the documents are finalized and all you need to do is just to.. go there on September." He said."Thank you!" I said as I walked towards him for a hug. He got up and hugged me. I pulled back and he showed me his iPad. "You'll go to Europe in less than two weeks
Juliet NollanDarren didn't even text me or call me for a day. I was anxious for the whole day and Hanni was so worried for me. I swear I almost cry in class because I kept thinking of Darren but didn't even dare to text him. As soon as the class finished, I got out and locked myself in the toilet. I cried.It's been a day but it felt like days for me. Hanni kept trying to talk to me but I was not in the mood to respond. I was just crying and crying. "I'll be outside, I'll wait for you at the cafeteria." I'm so thankful that she decided to give me some space. I kept crying and crying until I have no tears left to cry. I walked out from the toilet and walked to the cafeteria to see Hanni busy calling someone. She was going crazy and when she saw me, she immediately ended it. She hugged me and then I told her that I want to be left alone. I told her to go home instead of waiting for me. She nodded and left leaving me in the cafeteria alone. I turned off my phone and decided to go
Juliet Nollan"Who picked this dress?" He asked as he took a sip of water."Why? I should wear something like this more often." I said and I took a bite of the burger."No. I will dress you next time. I'll buy you a colorful nun clothes." I glared at him and he avoided my eyes."Funny.""I can buy all colors if you want.""No thanks, I don't like your style of clothing." "That's rude." He said and I chuckled."Don't be annoying ass, you love me in this dress." I hissed."I like it for my eyes only." "Yeah, you selfish bastard." I said as I kept eating."You look beautiful." He said and I can't help but smile. I turned to him and he was busy looking up to the sky."Dante and Hanni have something going on.." I said."I know." "You know?!" I looked at him disbelief. "Why didn't say anything?" "I wasn't sure, I heard about them a few days ago." "You're mean." I said and I took a bite."I don't think I should intervine their relationship. Hanni will tell you eventually too.." He said
Juliet NollanAfter Darren posted that pictures, my name was everywhere. On social media, TV, news and radia. They put my name, my photos and my background.Apparently Darren Conte successfully broke lots of hearts by announcing me on his instagram. He's popular and not to mention that I didn't even follow him. I rarely opened my social media and I used to have 10 followers but now I have almost a million followers. Some people hate me, some people love me. Darren started to post a lot of pictures about me. I told him not to but he didn't care. He told me that he wants everyone to know that I have a boyfriend. He even told me to wear a tee with his face. "Don't be ridiculous!" I hissed when he suggested that stupid idea."Why not? It would be.. cool.""Cool? A T-shirt with your face?" I asked and he nodded proudly."No.""Come on." He begged and I shook my head."Juliet!" I turned around to find Hanni and she gave me a hug. We're going to the salon together because we have an event
Juliet Nollan"It's beautiful." He took me to the top of the Empire State Building. "I know you'll like it." He said and I took my phone out taking pictures of the beautiful view. His penthouse view is breahtaking but this so much more. "This is just.. amazing." I said."Take a picture with me, we don't have any pictures together." He said and he wrapped his arms around my waist from the back. We took some pictures and it was cute."Send it to me." He said."No.""Juliet, can you please.. send the pictures to me?" He said and I chuckled nodding. I sent the pictures to me and I put my phone back into my pocket. I was more into the view and the cold breeze. It's like a dream come true. My phone vibrated and I took it out from my pocket. I opened the notification and Darren just posted our pictures on Instagram. He didn't write any caption, he just posted everything and tagged me. "You never publish your relationship." I said and I looked up to me."How do you know about that?" "Han
Juliet Nollan"What was that?!" Hanni said as we sat down. We're 20 minutes early so we have some spare time."What?""Did something happen when I ditched?" She asked and I turned away. "No way!" She gasped. "What?!" I ignored her as I took out my books."You slept with him, didn't you?" She whispered in my ear and I turned to her. Heat spearding across my cheeks and she pointed at me."Busted! Why didn't you tell me? You lost your virginity to Darren Conte." She said dramatically."Why didn't you tell me?! I need details!" She said as she moved from sitting beside me to sitting in front of me."How was it?" Her eyes were so wide that it looked like it's going to pop out. She's too excited for this."It was.. great." I said shyly."How did it happen? He seduced you?""It just happened, it was pretty intensed." I said and Hanni clapped her hands like a seal."Oh my god.. details please.." She said and I laughed."I'm not giving you any details." "Ugh!" She hissed."He came to my hou
Darren ConteBefore I met Juliet, I'll all about vanilla. I'm not the type who will be agressive, possessive and let alone being obsessive. Juliet brought that all out easily and I can say that I never thought I have that on me. When I was with Calista, I was the type who follow her rhythm. I always gave her freedom and apparently she hated it. She wanted me have control on her but it was just not in me. After meeting Juliet, I hated her for no reason or maybe I hated her because she pushed my buttons perfectly. I hated it how much it affected me and she successfully made me confuse.I spent 3 weeks when she's away to find answers and never got one until I just let myself go with her. I love every second of it and I felt more alive. I parked in front of her house just to watch her sleep another minute. I took out my phone to text Wesley about the situation and he's not happy. He hates me for hanging out with his sister too much. Not only him but Justin hates me too. None of them t
