(Avery’s Thoughts) (Street Night)

After Audrey left with her boyfriend, I am now, all alone in this street. I suddenly feel the melancholic vibes of it, and eventually, everything feels and seems big.

The smallness of my sole existence is intensified when I look around, the alcohol got the best of me. I try standing up, despite my wobbling knees, and I manage to retain my balance, or so I thought.

I look like more of a hunchback cause I get my balance from leaning forward and stepping my foot one at a time.

I build a rhythm of

“1, 2, Left…”

“1, 2, Right…”

“Come one, Avery, you have to get to the hotel fast, go girl,” I cheer myself up aloud. Audrey’s right, they won’t care about you, cause they don’t know how to speak English, so far I am doing fine.

Maybe, by sunrise, I can reach the hotel. I scoff, “So much for my first free night here, huh?”

I continue to walk, well almost crawling until I bump into something solid but bouncy. It isn’t hard but comforting.

So I try it once aga

    (Dmitri's Thoughts)"Dee?" she sweetly calls to me when she realizes it was she's meeting tonight.But unexpectedly, she doesn't walk away from me, nor scream at me, instead, she just stands across from me, waiting for my response patiently. Her eyes are locked on me, her damn beautiful expressive eyes: the ones that I yearned for to look at me again. I gulp at the sight of her and couldn't answer immediately. She looks elegant in her old rose dress. My body automatically reacts, though, like a gentleman in front of her. I stand up and leave my position, I walk over to her and kiss her on her cheeks. Then I guide her to sit and even pull the chair for her, one thing that I've been dreaming to do again for her. She still seems surprised but she remains calm during the start of the night. And the best part of the beginning of this dinner is the way he called me. I haven't heard her call me 'Dee' since the day she left. And I must admit, it makes me extremely happy. Everything seems

  • Her Burning Desire   Indecent Proposal

    (Dmitri’s Thoughts) The words that I’ve been holding off since two years ago suddenly explode in front of her. The cool Dmitri could no longer take it, and just like that, I blurt out something I would never think of even uttering.“How cruel of you! You were the one who left when I was ready to fight for you. I searched the world for you, and now that I found you, you were betrothed to another man. Tell me how! How do I unlove you?”Tears fall from both our eyes and the next thing we know, we are kissing each other, deeply and passionately, as if the two years of longingness for each other has finally been released. Avery kisses me. She walks towards me, she holds my face and she claims my lips as if there’s no tomorrow. I feel like a surging fire of anger subsides every time her lips move with mine. Her kiss is like a ton of water that submerges my heated argument a while ago. I feel like drowning, drowning in her love, in her pain, in her lust, and in her desire. This warmth on

  • Her Burning Desire   Double Jeopardy

    (Avery’s Thoughts) My mind couldn’t fathom the last words I hear from Dmitri at the elevator. I had sex with him, yes. I cheated. I am a cheater and I am the worse. I liked everything he did to me. How can I do this to poor Jeff? My body still feels every stroke of his slender fingers and warm hands to me. And even now, just this scent coming from his shirt is so captivating, I feel like having arousal early in the morning. My body just can’t get enough of him.I shake my head and go towards my room. Peach is already gone when I come, “Thank goodness she didn’t see me coming in with this shirt on. How could I even explain what happened, right?”I quickly change into something decent and comfortable. I slap both my cheeks, “Wake up, Avery! You must stick with Jeff! Jeff is the one for you! Jeff is the one who truly loves you! Jeff has been with you for a long time.” I try to convince myself, even though deep in my heart, that isn’t the case. I know, Dmitri still takes the biggest pa

    Peach and I enjoy the scenery of this Huwaidensberg Street while waiting for the other group to finish their observation. One group finally arrives, followed by the last group. Now, all that’s left is the professor. It’s been over thirty minutes and the professor seems taking a bit longer. Finally, his figure is seen in a far distance running towards us, like a happy grasshopper leaping off the leaves. “Guys, great news, great news. Later tonight, we are going to experience the first-rated massage package and expensive dinner at the hotel courtesy of Mister Sullivan,” he excitingly says. The others are thrilled, too. While I just massage my nose bridge from the bad news I gather, “Looks like that billionaire is buying us off, huh?” Peach says. I laugh at her remark, “Looks like it!”She clicks her tongue, “I don’t like him! I still like Jeff more,” then she pats me on my shoulder. “Good luck getting away from that son of a wealthy man,” I laugh aloud. Peach’s side comments are

    “Why didn’t you say he’s here? You didn’t even tell me? Why, babe?”Jeff’s voice resounds inside the hotel room. It’s not that I didn’t want to tell him, I just don’t want his precious trip to go to waste. “Babe, I, it’s because he’s nothing. I don’t want you to be so much affected. And I don’t want you to act like that, babe,” I try to calm him down. “Then when did he arrive, huh? When did you meet him? Yesterday? Last week? When are you planning to tell me, or do you even have plans to tell me? Answer me, babe,” he’s been walking back and forth just in front of our hotel bed.Thanks to the loudmouth and somebody’s slip of the tongue, our moments together are now ruined. “I am going to kill you, Geneva, just you wait!” I told myself. He snaps at my face, “Hey! Are you listening babe? You haven’t answered any of my questions. Would you like me to guess, instead? Fine! Let’s play your game!” he angrily says. “Babe, please. Let’s not ruin this moment, please? You flew all the way he

  • Her Burning Desire   End Of The Tour

    (Dmitri’s Thoughts)My head is still pounding when I receive a call early in the morning. And since it is from someone close to me, I answer it while my eyes are still closed. “Dee, Dee, Dee,” a high-pitchy, little feminine voice is excited when it calls my name. I groan when it feels like somebody’s screwing my temple, and impatiently answer the one on the phone, “Better be important, you already ruined my sleep now.” “I think I just found the perfect apartment in Seattle, you do know that I’ll be settling in Seattle soon, right?” the voice even mocks my intelligence. “Of course, you mention it countless times. So, do you want me to yell and scream out of happiness?” I sarcastically give off a remark. I hear the voice scoffs, “Tsk, don’t you dare use your sarcasm at me, dear. Remember, you owe me big time! And how long are you going to fool around in Germany anyway? Come back to me!” the voice demandingly utters. “Why do you care? And who says I am fooling around? She’s here an

    “Avery, what are we really doing here?” Jeff asks irritably after we finally get out of the crowded airport.The States is very different from France, and I must say, I prefer living in France, although, I’ve missed being home. I am finally home. I look at his frowning face and act cute on him, “Babe, please, stop asking questions, I have a surprise for you, okay? Trust me on this!” I try to convince him while clinging my arms at him.However, he still hasn’t gotten over the fact that I lied to him about my encounter with Dmitri so he distances himself to me and untangles my arms. But I am too stubborn and didn’t let him do so. “Come on, please, you’ll soon forgive me,” I even press my body at him and I can sense the effect on him. But he still chooses not to even look at me. From the moment I’d arrived home, up to now, we haven’t had a single decent conversation. It is more on him scowling, or me, avoiding his questions. But I keep on irritating him, hoping that he would forgive

    Seid enters the passcode without even pressing the doorbell so I ask him, “Hey, what if she’s not here, or both of them are having their moments. Is this even legal?”Seid pats me on my shoulder, “Relax, Ava. Have you forgotten, we always do this to one another, Kendra is not another person, you know.”I sigh, still feeling nervous about how Kendra will react once she sees me. Seid finally opens the door, and Nikolai’s face is the first to show up. He is flustered seeing us standing behind the door. Then I hear K’s voice, “Love, who is it? Is that the food we ordered?”Nik couldn’t answer right away, his voice is still as husky and deep as ever, “Uh, well, not really.”“Then who is it? Are they soliciting, again? Would you mind giving them some penny, I am a bit busy here,” K’s voice sounds like music to my ears, loud and vibrant. Nik keeps on staring at me and holds his stare to Jeff who’s just beside me. Then he mouths to Seid, “What the heck? You didn’t even bother telling me? S

Please, don’t stress me out,” I yell back at him. “I’m sorry. I just feel so excited about the news. I can’t wait to tell mom and dad about our baby!” he says exhilaratingly. “Don’t jinx it!” I scream angrily. “Okay, okay, I’ll wait here patiently,” answers Jeff. I am here sitting on the bathroom floor, waiting for the result to come out from the pregnancy test kit. It has been almost three years since we got married and there was never a time that we didn’t try having a baby. But until now, there’s still nothing. I hug my knees and start crying silently, “What if it fails again? Am I infertile?” I ask myself. The kit finally ticks and now I have to face the truth. God knows we’ve been trying so hard that’s why I even ask Kendra to take full charge of the business for now. I stop all my physical activities

    (Avery’s Thoughts) Our El Nido, Palawan experience was splendid. And of course, I still can’t believe it. I came there single, “And now, I am officially Avery Tales. I am now married,” I murmur as I stare at both my and his wedding ring while he’s holding my hand in his sleep. It’s been a week since we came back here to America. Of course, the honeymoon stage has just begun and Jeff wants to make love to me almost every time. And me, being a good wife, always give him what he wants. Although, right now, I think I am still a little swollen down there. I go to the bathroom to clean myself up and wash my face as I promised Kendra I’ll be meeting her so we can talk about our new business venture. After brushing my teeth, I wake Jeff up, “Hey, babe. Didn’t you say you have an interview at Kirkland’s Best?”He groans and instead of getting up, he pulls me into the bed and showers me with morning kisses. I giggle as his kisses tickle me, “Babe, stop it. We have a lot of things to do tod

So after the wedding ceremony, we stayed for a little bit, I got to finally meet his parents. And for the longest of times, I once again felt the warm embrace of a parent. It made me cry because I knew that I am no longer alone, and no longer an orphan. Because now that we are married, his parents became my parents, too. And I can’t deny, my heart is full. After that, we stayed to talk to our guests for some time, and then we ate and enjoy the party, too. And now I am here standing on the balcony staring at the moonlight, while Jeff is still cleaning. I don’t know why. It isn’t the first time we are going to have sex, but for some reason, now that we are married, there’s this tension inside me, a feeling of hesitation, a feeling that I am officially owned by him. And unexplainably, I feel afraid. And now, my heart almost stops as I hear the gushing of the water fina

    (Avery’s Thoughts) Later this evening, all four of us will meet Jeff’s parents. And because of it, I am so dead worried and I can’t get this nervousness out of my system. So while Jeff is away meeting his parents ahead of time, I rush downstairs and go to our neighboring villa. I knock ceaselessly, but Kendra and Nik aren’t coming out. I move back to look up, and I see that the light is on, it means they are there, so I continue to rampage on their door. “Kendra, Kendra,” I knock nonstop, “Open up, please!” I scream a little loud. Then after five minutes of almost breaking their door down, someone finally opens the door for me. “Thank God you finally come out, what took you so l–” I am about to complain but when I see her glaring at me with her hair a little bit frizzy and wrap in a blanket, I know that I should be more careful with my next words. Then later on Nik comes down with a little sweat on his forehead. “Uh-oh, definitely bad timing, Avery,” I say to myself. Then Kend

This stupid luggage just won’t listen to me!” she frustratedly yells back at me. Kendra is not a patient and she hates dealing with this kind of stuff. So I go to her room to check up on her. And there I see her leg wrestling with her luggage just so she can close it up. “Stupid-little-luggage!” she yells and kicks before she pounds it hard in the end. And then she sits beside it looking at me with so much energy wasted. “Help me out, A?” she begs. I smile at her and then gently hit her on her forehead. “That’s why I’ve been telling you to pack a week ago,” I nag at her a little and she sticks her tongue out for a moment. “Hmm, let’s see what unnecessary things you put in here,” I tease her. Then I begin to take out some clothes and things she can’t wear to our destination. “Nope!” “–But I need it.” “–It’

So she goes to me and says, “Here, I got this,” she says and helps me out. I can’t stop smiling. I am just happy to know she’s here. I am happy we get to do this again.
