I was still stunned by what was happening. My hands were shaking. I couldn't believe everything that I heard.
“I’m really sorry, Belle. I shouldn’t have forced you to come. It was my fault,” Kylie said when we got inside her car.
I didn’t even notice that we were already at the parking lot, inside his car. I was preoccupied the whole time she dragged me out of the Grand Ball. What Scarlet and Kylie said still lingered in my head.
I clasped my hand together to stop it from trembling and looked straight to Kylie. “K-Kyl… is it really true? I… I…” I burst out.
“You are a murderer.”
“Ahh! Shit! I got only twenty minutes left,” I blurted out after seeing the time on my phone.I was pressing the button on the elevator while looking at my phone when the lift suddenly opened. I hurriedly got in while still looking at my phone. I was putting my phone in my bag when the door closed. I was about to walk towards the elevator button to press the ground floor when I saw a man standing in front of it.My eyes widened, and I froze where I was standing.In front of me was none other than Kristoff.I didn’t see him for the past five years, but I could still remember every inch
I sighed. “I wish I am water. So Josh will just dive into me.” Kylie spitted out the juice that she was drinking because of what I said. Good thing that she didn’t get me wet. What was her problem? She was wasting her drink.“What the fuck Anna Belle?!” She shouted in horror. I just look at her with innocent eyes.“What now? What did I do?” I said, frowning. I leaned down to look at the pool where my crush was swimming with only his trunks and goggles. His abs were so visible in my eyes. Shit! He looked so smoking hot! Should I just join the varsity team? I just noticed that almost all varsity players were so hot.“What are we really doing here, Anna Belle?” She said with irritation on her face. I hated it when she called me by my name. I felt like I was that doll on that horror movie Annabelle. Creepy!I glared at her. “Can you stop calling me that? It’s creeping me out. I told you to call me Bell
From: Unknown NumberYou drop your ID. Just tell me if you want to get it. I’m here inside Jollibee beside Sto. Rosario Parish.Thank God! Someone saw it. I hurriedly replied before they would go.To: Unknown NumberYou’re my savior! Thank you! I’m just outside USC. Be there in a sec!I hit the send button and hurriedly walked towards Jollibee. It was only on the other side of our school. The one that I and Kylie passed by a while ago.
I was scribbling in my notebook when my phone suddenly beeped. My eyes widened when I saw who texted me.It was Josh!From: JoshI told Kristoff that you want to treat us for finding your ID. He said no at first but I convinced him. How about this lunch?I replied right away before they changed their mind.To: JoshSure. Where would you want to eat?“Kylie!” I squealed in a low tone. Where inside our room for our last subject waiting for our professor.“What?” Her brows furrowed while loo
Two days had passed after that lunch fiasco. Kylie didn’t return so I ended up eating by myself and then went back to USC.I let Kristoff have his two days of peace. Because today, I’d make sure I’d get on his nerves.After Kristoff told me those hurtful words, I realized that reality really hurts. But I didn’t let it get into me. Instead, I accept it as a challenge. The more he rejected me, the more that I was eager to pursue him.I let his words pass. I’d make him regret what he said about me. I’d tried anything to pester him until he gave up and fell to my charm.I was not like other girls. I knew what I wanted. And if I wanted it, I’d do anything just to have it.
My smile was so big, even if I knew that I pissed him off, big time.He dragged me to the back of one of the buildings inside the campus and then pushed me to the wall. I winched the moment my back touched the hard wall because he did it hard. He put his right hand on the wall caging me in place.“You don’t have to push me hard,” I said as I touched the back of my shoulder where it hurts.“Why are you here?” he said with gritted teeth. He didn’t even care if I got hurt or not. Such a cold guy. Tsk!“I’m here to see. Are you not happy?” I stood straight and looked up at him. Damn! He was so tall. I just realized it now because we were so close. I was just on his neck level.
I was in a bad mood the whole week. Thanks to Kristoff. He knew how to pissed me off. For those days, I have been trying to see him to no avail. He was hiding from me. Yep. I got it.“Seriously, Belle? Do you still have a crush on that marine guy? Record-breaker, huh?” She grinned. That made me more pissed.I threw her a lot of chips. We were actually in Kylie’s house, and we were currently watching Kissing Booth two in her room.“Stop it! You are wasting the chips!” I just rolled my eyes at her and just focused on watching the movie.It was the scene where Elle saw an earring under No
My eyes widened from his sudden assault. He cupped my face and deepened the kiss that made my eyes closed.Volts of electricity ran down my spine when he entered his tongue inside my mouth and tasted every corner of it.I moaned and kissed him back with the same ferocity. My hands found his nape for support because my legs startled to wobble.I was almost out of breath. Good thing that he suddenly stopped kissing me for a moment but only to take off his shirt in an instant.I held my breath when I saw his naked broad chest down to his six pack abs, down to his v-shaped.
I was still stunned by what was happening. My hands were shaking. I couldn't believe everything that I heard.“I’m really sorry, Belle. I shouldn’t have forced you to come. It was my fault,” Kylie said when we got inside her car.I didn’t even notice that we were already at the parking lot, inside his car. I was preoccupied the whole time she dragged me out of the Grand Ball. What Scarlet and Kylie said still lingered in my head.I clasped my hand together to stop it from trembling and looked straight to Kylie. “K-Kyl… is it really true? I… I…” I burst out.“You are a murderer.”
The days were running so fast. It’s already Sunday afternoon, and tonight will be our alumni party.I was already preparing myself for the party. Kylie said that she would just fetch me later so that we could go there together. The venue would be at WaterFront Grand Ballroom at Waterfront Hotel and Casino.It would be my second time to be in their Grand Ballroom. Last time Kylie and I were there for Morrisette Amon’s concert.I went to the bathroom and took a shower for an hour. After showering, I changed into my bathrobe, and I blow-dried my hair in front of the mirror. It was already 5 PM. I still have three hours to prepare.My make-up set was already ready for me to use. After
I was cracking my neck as I sat down on my couch after getting a glass of milk. Kristoff was not having a sleepover tonight because he was in Manila for some business. As much as I wanted to go with him, I couldn’t. I have a lot of things to do in the office. My phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. My brows raised as I saw who was calling. It was my best friend, Kylie. What does she need this time? Tsk! “Hey—” I was cut off right away when she suddenly squealed my name. “Annabelle!” My face turned sour as I leaned my back on the couch. “Belle,
Two days and one night in Carnaza Island was bliss. I didn’t even want to go back to the city, but apparently, we needed to—more workloads for a busy Monday.I was so tired of our escapade, but I didn’t mind at all since it was worth it. I would love to go back there again. Maybe next time.We just arrived at the city and went our separate ways. Kylie left with Josh while Kristof was with me. We were on our way to my condo. He insisted on staying for the night. I even told him that I didn’t want to because we might end up on the bed, naked but, he said that we would just really sleep as in sleeping literally together.“Tired?” Kristoff asked when he saw me yawn. I couldn’t help it. I really felt sleepy, and it was s
When we got back on the shore, I saw Josh and Kylie go out from the rock formation. I couldn’t help but shake my head. My dirty mind was starting to work again, and I just didn’t want my best friend and Josh doing it in my head. “Seriously?” I looked at both of them with scrutinizing eyes. “What?” Kylie asked with an innocent face. I raised my right brow at her as I put my hands on my waist. “Did you just—“ “Woah! Stop right there. It’s not what you are thinking,” Josh said, stopping me. “What do you think I am thinking?” I said, still looking at both of them, but now with scrutinizing eyes. I heard a slight chuckle on my back. I glanced and saw Kristoff trying to stifle his laugh. I glared at him and stared back at Kylie and Jo
While we were traveling, I asked the driver why it was called Skull Cove. He said that they found two skulls on the cove that was why they started calling it Skull Cove.We trekked for a couple of minutes before arriving at the spot. It was a secluded beach area and it was only us when we arrived. It was kinda creepy for me when I found out why it was called Skull cove, and I thought the area was frightening, but seeing the cove right now, if there was another big word for amazing, that would be what it was.The turquoise water and the white sand welcomed us as we arrived at the skull cove. Kristoff was beside me with a grumpy face. I thought he would really go back to his yacht and use it, but he didn’t. He actually followed us.“Seriously? What’s with the long face? Look at the
I woke up with Kristoff beside me. He was facing me. I tried my best not to wake him up. I was just looking at him sleeping. I raised my hand and caressed his hair. I couldn’t help it. Staring at him like this made me think if this was really real or I was just dreaming.He was handsome, even if he was just wearing a white sleeveless shirt. His biceps were showing, and I couldn’t help but gulp.My eyes widened when he suddenly moved. I closed my eyes and pretended to be sleeping. The hair on my nape suddenly stood up when I felt his hand on my cheek. His hand moved from my cheek down to my neck, and I couldn’t help but shiver from his touch.I pressed my eyes together when I felt his lips on mine, kissing my bottom lip gently. He suddenly stopped, which made me groan in my head.&n
I was glaring at Kylie as she walked towards the door. I was trying to process what the heck just happened that Kristoff was with Josh.Everything led to Kylie. She planned all of this. I was sure about that.A part of me was happy that Kristoff was here and going with us but, also a part of me was still confused about our standing. This was again Kylie’s fault. If she didn’t ask what our relationship was, I wouldn’t be thinking like this. I wouldn’t be questioning what I am for him.I heaved a sigh and tried just to forget everything Kylie said. I didn’t want to be bothered by it. For now, I would just go with the flow and be content with what we had right now.Kylie opened the door, and the two men got inside in an
I was in Kylie’s condo, munching her v-cut while waiting for her to finish ordering on the phone for our dinner. It was already the weekend, and I didn't have work. I was bored in my condo because Kristoff was actually out of the country. He got a business conference for two days, and he’d be back on Monday. He wanted to bring me, but I refused it. Kylie kept on bombarding my phone and wanted me to catch up with her. I had been ditching her since Kristoff, and I hit it off. And I felt sorry for her, so here I was in her condo. I was catching up with her and trying to enjoy the weekend without Kristoff’s presence. It’s just, after what happened to Kristoff and me, I was already used to spending my weekend with him. And I know it would never be the same if he would disappear again. “So…” Kylie started as she
