Drops of perspiration sprinkled off from his hair as he shook his head, and faced her with the grab hoe's handle placed on his right shoulder. Smooth as butter, the scene Emily witnessed was like in a 0.5 speed duration.“Hey there, my future little dear sister. Finally, you found me here,” he said grinning like a devil, making it even hard for her to find the right words to say. She released a deep sigh and swayed her hands as a fan to act as if the heat was too much. “Oh God, Apollo. Is there even a fresh drinking water here? Anybody making their way up here could really feel thirsty,” she even scoffed. That was her dramatic reply to him.“My memory is pretty intact. I can clearly remember Simone has told me via text that an ATV vehicle will take you here,” he suspiciously uttered while closing the distance between them.“Look at you, you are almost soaking wet.”Her lips shake and tongue hides feeling ashamed. Red ripe tomato was what her face turned into.What did he just freaki

After 3 minutes of walking, the long stairway that leads to the garden becomes visible to Emily's vision. Even 10 people walking at the same time can fill its space. What is even more amusing is its arc roof of a green net that is designed to collect possible falling leaves. Meanwhile, each side of the railings are full of vine-like plants with colorful blooming flowers. Then there are a few cross-ways which would reveal the mushroom-like cover and a good for 4-5 person bleacher.Good thing that she is wearing flat sandals, and not the one with a stiletto heel. Worrying about her dress did not cross her mind because no one is behind her. Few guests are ahead of her, most likely families who are posing from every angle for some pictures to keep.As she passed each one of them, a beautiful smile formed in her lips. In the middle of hiking, she felt the sweats from her neck and forehead. Although, the stair is not linear and vertically upward, one's muscle and body could still experience

It took about 30 minutes of travelling before they arrived at the destination. Two gigantic statues like Adam and Eve in just a piece of cloth-like carvings covered their private parts from both sides carrying the signage of “Welcome to Paradise Valley.” The parking lot is wide, and the evenly trimmed carabao's grass makes it even more refreshing and greeny. Although, if it's too sunny, that makes it a disadvantage for these vehicles lining up the place, but those acacia tree would surely be a big help to avoid sun rays, only if it will grow so fast this summer. “Welcome to our garden, Emi,” Simone said with a finger pointing at the statues. She is not able to tell him any words as his phone rings so loudly.“Wait a second, let me answer this,” he walked a distance away, enough for her not to hear even a slight conversation of them. She does not mind though. While waiting, she wanders her eyesight to the place. When she looked back at him, Simone's already talking to a man on a g

She cleared the lump in her throat before saying a word. She told herself to get angry by his insult, but shyness crept in her whole system. “Uhm, hi? If I am not mistaken, you must be Simone's older brother, Apollo right?,” her presumption and pre-introductory question to catch a conversation with him.He takes a sip on his mug of hot chocolate before glancing back at her. Every little detail like how his goddamn Adam's apple moved make Emily anxious. How come that she has to notice that small yet unnecessary of a detail? Even him licking the bits of liquid below his luscious lips that escapes from his mouth. She shook her head. To distract herself, she swims toward the lounger where she placed her nightgown. Apollo only looked at her. Everything seems so seamless. Like the way she goes upward from the water. She reaches the railing of the pool and gets out from there. Then decided to cover and dry off herself with the nightgown. “I am glad to finally meet you,” that made her flin

All of them are eyeing the entrance of the doorway—waiting for Apollo to show up. But then a maid rushes inside to tell Mrs. Ramos that someone called over the telephone. After their quick whispered conversation, Mrs. Ramos immediately informed Emily."Ms. Trañilla, I am sorry to disturb you, but we have just received a call from your mother. She is worried why you are not answering her calls. She is expecting you to call her within minutes, Ms. Trañilla." her nervousness disappeared upon hearing that.She only nodded to Mrs. Ramos then faces Simone who is now looking at her."You set your phone to "Do Not Disturb" mode again, didn't you?" Simone guesses with a playful smile."Well, I did. " she shrugged off her shoulders and laughed at that truth. "Is it okay to leave you here right now? Or I'll just talk to mom after eating dinner?" "It is totally fine. You should talk to her now. My brother and I would just wait for you here so that I would formally introduce you both to each othe

She realizes that there is only towel covering her naked body. His presence makes her feel stumbled. "You do not even knock!?,"she said in disbelief. She tightens how she hold her body towel. "Well, it seems like it." he shrug his shoulders and look at her from head to toe. "What do you want?," she asked confusedly. "I just want to know if you are done eating dinner?," his voice remains calm, but the moment his foot started to step forward. She cannot help, but to get crazy thinking of what to do. "What are you doing, Apollo!?," with her voice quivering, she is clearly scared of what he is up to. "Walking," he simply replies. She shake her head and release a deep sigh before she get the courage to remind him of how frazzling she feels. "You get out, Apollo. You are crossing the line," his forehead creased."You should not be entering random rooms just because you feel like doing it. It could be a crime," she warns him of his action."It is not a crime 'cause this is my property
