Heart's Desire CHAPTER 11
"Daydreaming, huh?" I glanced at Terry, who sat beside me. "Who are you thinking about?" She broke the silence. "Hmm... can't decide?" "Neither of them," I replied irritably, turning my gaze back to the open field. "Okay, fine!" She suddenly stood up as if she was about to leave, but I stopped her. "Oh, have you made a choice?" She asked with a broad smile before sitting back beside me. "No, not yet," I answered again. "Is there a problem?" She scrutinized me as if trying to read my thoughts. I shook my head at her before returning my gaze to the field, now filling up with people as Alex's soccer practice was about to begin. "Is it Dawzon?" My heart ached a bit at the thought of him. No, Lara, it can't be him. "Hmm... don't tease me, I know you! " She raised an eyebrow at me. I wanted to say Rexon's name, but how could I, when he hadn't made any move to get closer to me or for me to let him know that I liked him. "He is getting on my nerves," I said heavily, r
Heart's Desire CHAPTER 12
I shift my gaze to the bed and couldn't be visited by sleep after coming home from our date. Reluctantly, I recall the tender kisses from Dawzon, unable to resist closing my eyes as I reminisce the sweetness of that moment.My cellphone buzzes, and I swiftly grab it. It's a text from Dawzon."Goodnight my beautiful Belle."A smile forms on my lips upon reading the message, but soon, doubts cloud my mind, and one after the other, I shake my head."No! He's a certified playboy, a womanizer, a deceiver, and most of all, he'll only add you to his list of conquests," I softly utter before promptly deleting his message.I can't afford to fall for someone like him, I firmly remind myself before closing my eyes for a much-needed rest.Hurrying to my first class, I’m late this morning.The fault lies with that Dawzon. I couldn't sleep, replaying our date from last night, especially the unexpected kiss we shared.I disregard the judgmental stares from a group of students as I pass by the covere
Heart's Desire CHAPTER 13
I find it hard to breathe because of how close he is to me. My heart races and my breath hitches as he moves closer and closer. I find myself closing my eyes and leaning back on the sofa set as he brushes against me. I know this is wrong, but how can I resist him? I can't seem to hold onto my principles when he quickly breaks down my walls. His sweet, fiery kiss makes my heart flutter. My stomach churns as if his kiss is all I need right now. I let out a satisfied moan as he grips my nape and pulls me closer to him. I am intoxicated so boldly I respond to his kisses. I realize I have no strength to resist him, not in this intense moment. But he suddenly lets me go, and we both catch our breath as we separate. "Damn those sexy lips," he huskily utters. I swallow slowly as he gradually moves away from me. "I need a quick shower, just need to cool off." My back leans against the sofa as he exits. I bite my lip and thank him for stopping whatever could have happened. I
Heart's Desire CHAPTER 14
I glanced down at the hand that Christine pulled."Why are you here?" Christine asked me with a furrowed brow, her smile leaving me unsure if it was genuine or not."I'm with Dad and Mom," I replied softly.I was overcome with intense nervousness as I felt Dawzon's satisfied gaze at my uneasiness."Hon, let's go!" Christine said to Dawzon, but he didn't budge and continued to look away from me."Dawzon!" Christine insisted."Are you sure you're okay?" Dawzon asked me after scanning me with his eyes."Y-yes, I'm fine!" I stuttered and looked away.He just nodded and turned away to leave. I followed them with my gaze, feeling almost suffocated.Perfect, Dawzon! I muttered to myself before they disappeared from my sight.Is the world really this small for us? I whispered to myself while shaking my head.I took a deep breath before deciding to enter the venue. I immediately looked for Mommy and Daddy, who were now dancing in the center.I watched them happily from my corner seat. The wait
Heart's Desire CHAPTER 15
The world seemed to have lost its vibrancy. My eyes, heavy with a weariness that went beyond the usual exhaustion of a college student, felt as if they were perpetually draped in a veil of gray. My actions were listless, a mere shadow of my usual energetic self. My mind, consumed by a whirlwind of emotions, couldn't even register the words our professor was spewing."Ms. Montellano!"The sharp sound of his voice, accompanied by the weight of his hand slamming onto my desk, jolted me back to reality. I blinked, startled, my cheeks flushing with shame. "I'm sorry, sir," I mumbled, my voice barely a whisper.Japs, my ever-vigilant classmate, turned to me with a frown."Sleeping while in my class is strictly prohibited!" Mr. Colminar voice was laced with anger, his veins seeming to bulge with frustration."I'm sorry, sir! It won't happen again," I said, my voice trembling. I bowed my head, my heart sinking with embarrassment."It really won't happen again! Now get out of my class!" he roa

My whole body flinched as his lips touched the sensitive part of my skin. I couldn't help but close my eyes tightly."I like how your body reacts to me," he whispered to me.I quickly opened my eyes and cleared my throat before facing Rexon.I didn't even glance at Dawzon who could hear the grin next to me."Cheers, bro," he teased his brother.He leaned in closer to me before tossing a glass to Rexon. I was thankful that Jeff arrived so that I had someone else to focus on."Hi, Larabelle?" He extended his hand to me, which I graciously accepted, and even their drummer, Zack, did the same."I'm glad you made it, we thought you wouldn't be able to come, especially since Dawzon said we should come early. Turns out we're just waiting here," Jeff complained to Dawzon, who still had both arms resting on the armrest while maintaining his seated posture.I quickly shot a look at him and narrowed my eyes upon learning that. If that's the case, it's his fault why I wasn't picked up by Rexon."
Heart's Desire CHAPTER 17
The night wind touched my cheeks, drying the tears in my eyes, I stood there, surrounded by a trembling that felt like a drumbeat echoing in my soul. I didn't question where he was taking me; my mind was blank, adrift, until we arrived at a resort where even in the darkness, the beauty of the sea was visible.He opened the car door for me, but I hesitated to step out when he bowed and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you," with a smile. I stared at him as he stepped out, prompting me to follow him into the resort.I thought we would check-in, but instead, we walked along the beach, hand in hand. What secrets lay within the sea? Memories flooded back of our first date, when he had taken me to the beach."What are we doing here?" I couldn't help but ask, breaking the silence. He glanced down at me for a moment before turning his gaze back to the sea. I tried to pull my hand away, but his grip was firm. "My foot hurts," I said, as if complaining, but in truth, I was comforted b
Heart's Desire CHAPTER 18
The roar of the crowd faded into a muffled hum as I closed my eyes, the weight of the crown I hadn't won settling heavily on my shoulders.It was obvious that Christine would win because of the beauty of her answer. Furthermore, Dawzon's off-topic question may have contributed to me not being chosen as the winner.I didn't linger on Christine's lack of hug and congratulations towards me, as I stepped back after receiving the sash and flowers from the judges.I contented myself with waving to Mom and Dad, who I knew were happy about my win.I turned to the other contestants behind me, while keeping an eye on Christine who was now the center of attention.I bowed my head when Dawzon's name was called to go up on stage, carrying the sash and flowers for Christine.I smiled bitterly as I watched him approach Christine, who immediately embraced him. A kiss on the cheek he gave her sent the audience into a frenzy."Tss... the game is rigged," whispered a candidate, echoing my thoughts."You
