Amy’s words rang over a hundred times in Bryan’s ears. This is only an imagination, none of this real, he kept telling himself.

“I love you, Bryan.”

Amy’s voice brought him out of his trance.

He summoned the courage and gazed into her gorgeous brown orbs. They held some sort of expectation, which made him wonder, why? What was she actually expecting from him? This is madness, he thought to himself, as he pulled his hands away from hers. She knew the outcome of her confession was going to be like this, but still, she went ahead and confessed her feelings. This is all a big mistake on her part. Now, he’s never going to speak to her again.

“Amy. You can’t be in love with me.” Bryan eventually said, after staying silent for a long time.

“But, I am” Amy replied, looking straight into his eyes.

He could tell from her eyes that she was saying the truth, and was also begging him to believe her, but he couldn’t. Why in the world would Amy fall in love with him? He never gave her any reason to

    This was like a dream come true for Amy. Bryan, the only man she desires, the love of her life, her heart beat, was kissing her. His kiss was so much different from that of Kyle. His kiss was passionate, it was filled with love and longing, like he too wanted it.It wasn’t clear to Amy if she was in one of her dreams or reality, but she didn’t want this moment to end. She wanted to savour the moment and cherish it, for as long as she lived. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, expressing her own emotions through the kiss.After what felt like an eternity, they both reluctantly pulled away from the kiss to catch their breath.Amy didn’t remove her arms that she had earlier placed around Bryan’s neck because she didn’t want to wake up from this beautiful dream.Bryan gently rested his forehead against Amy’s and slowly opened his eyes. Amy’s eyes were still closed, and he found it beautiful.“I can’t say what you want me to say, because… I love you, Amy… Unlike you

    “Hey there, girlfriend!” Mandy’s cheery voice greeted her best friend.“Hey, Mandy. How have you been?”“I am nothing without you.”Amy smiled at her best friend’s reply. She could tell Mandy was pouting.“I miss my best friend” Mandy continued, making Amy feel a bit guilty.“What about Jack?” She decided to ask.“He is great, but… No one can take your place, you know that, right?”“I’m sorry, Mandy.” She finally apologized because she understands how Mandy is feeling. She feels the same way too, but it’s too late to do anything about it.“It’s okay, I understand. I wouldn’t be here either if Jack didn’t decide to apply this year… I don’t want him out of my sight.” Her best friend replied, whispering the last part.“I heard that, babe.” Amy heard Jack say in the background.“Oh my God, Mandy, he heard you!” She laughed.“Don’t pay any attention to him… He’s lucky we’re already living together, I would’ve kicked him out of my room already.” Mandy said, earning a chuckle from her best f

    After dinner, Amy couldn’t get some sleep, no matter how hard she tried. She closed her eyes for several minutes, hoping it would help her fall asleep, but nothing worked. Why can’t I fall asleep? She wondered, tossing and turning on her bed. After some minutes, she gave up trying, and got out of bed, heading for her dad’s bedroom. He was the only person who could help her when she was having trouble falling asleep. She only hopes he’s still awake, but she doubts that, since it’s already pass midnight.On reaching his bedroom door, she gave a gentle knock, not to be rude, incase he was still working.“Come in.” Her dad said from inside.She opened the door, and like she guessed, he was working, on his laptop.“Why are you still awake, princess?” Her dad asked.She could hear the concern in his voice.“I can’t sleep.” She quietly replied.“Come here, my love. Is something bothering you?”He immediately closed his laptop, and placed it on his nightstand before gesturing for Amy to join

    Amy was browsing through her social media page when her phone began to ring. Her face lit up when she saw the caller ID, but she immediately composed herself before answering the call. “I’m mad at you.” She hastily said, not giving the caller the chance to speak. “I waited for a goodnight call last night or even a simple text, but I got nothing.” “Forgive me, beautiful. I had a lot on my plate yesterday.” Bryan quickly apologized. “And a simple goodnight was too much to say?” “I wasn’t trying to justify myself, princess. I know I acted badly and I take full responsibility for my actions. Please forgive me.” Amy was biting her fingers while smiling to herself. He was really falling for her act. If only he knew she wasn’t at all upset, rather she was feeling giddy inside just from hearing his husky voice. “Why didn’t you call? I couldn’t sleep last night.” She said with a pout, trying to sound sad. “I had a couple of meetings to attend to and after that, I had to go over some con

    It was a Saturday morning, Amy was having breakfast with her dad. She kept stealing glances at her dad, going over the story she made up in her head, hoping he won’t get suspicious.‘You can do this, Amy.’ She mentally said to herself, praying she doesn’t blow her cover.“Um. Dad?” She began, picking up a slice of bacon from her plate with her fork and feeding it to her dad.“Princess, you’ve barely touched your meal.”“I’m on a diet.” She lied, when in reality she was a bit hungry. She couldn’t touch her meal because she was nervous. She felt her dad would be able to read through her.“Since when are you on a diet?” Her dad asked with an amused look on his face.“Since this morning.”“Oh really!... And what’s the reason for this sudden decision?”“I, uh. I noticed I’ve become too lazy to move around and I don’t like it.”“I have a better option.”“What’s that?”“You can make use of the gym… Seriously, Amy. I’m sure you don’t even know what the place looks like.”Amy grimaced the mome

    Amy got into her room and immediately locked the door behind her. She hit her head against the door three times to express how angry she was at herself. She made a complete fool of herself back there and it was all thanks to her stupid hormones.When she heard Bryan’s voice, it was like everything inside her became cautious. She suddenly became aware of the fact that she hasn’t showered that morning and was just wearing her pajamas, not one of the best ones, if she might add. To top it all, she was stuffing herself with her breakfast.‘So embarrassing.’ She thought to herself, as she walked towards her bed. She slumped on her bed face flat and groaned into her pillow in frustration.How was she going to face Bryan tonight after such an awkward encounter this morning?Amy decided to distract her thoughts by giving her mom a call, as she hasn’t told her that she was coming over. She reached for her phone on the nightstand and dialled her mom’s number. After two rings, her mom answered t

    Amy said goodbye to her dad after giving him a goodbye kiss on the cheek and asking him to take good care of himself. She drove off in her Porsche, heading for a designer’s boutique to get a dress for her date. After shopping, she drove to a beauty salon to get her hair and nails done. When she was through with that, she stopped by a mall to get shortbread cookies for her little brother, Carl before driving straight to her mom’s house.Amy arrived at her mom’s place at exactly 3:00pm. She was immediately welcomed by a very hyper Carl.“Someone’s in a really good mood.” She said as she lifted her brother off the ground.“Gosh! You’re even bigger than the last time!” She exclaimed as she walked into the living room where her mom was seated on one of the couch.“Mom, what are you feeding this little angel?”Carl giggled at his sister’s question and held her even tighter.“You see, he’s gonna fall off any minute.” She joked, feigning tiredness.“You and I are gonna go on a diet.” Amy wigg

    “You look beautiful.” Paula said to her daughter with a proud smile, as they both stood in front of the mirror.“You think so, mom?” Amy nervously asked, checking herself properly in the mirror to see if she missed anything.“Look at me, sweetie.” Her mom held her in place.“He’s going to be at loss for words when he sees you… Whoever he is.”Amy laughed at her mom’s last statement, and it helped ease her nervousness a bit.“Thanks mom. I promise I’ll reveal his identity when I’m ready.”“I hope it won’t be when he breaks your heart.”“Mom!”“I was only joking.”Amy’s phone beeped, getting her attention.“I guess that’s prince charming.” Paula said with a knowing smile. Amy nodded in reply while opening his text.My chauffeur is almost there. I’m so sorry I couldn’t pick you up myself. I wish the circumstances were different. Can’t wait to see you. Amy wore a sad smile after reading the text, but it’s okay. She consented to this, knowing fully well the challenges and consequences tha
