Chapter 4 Heartbeats
Last Updated:
2021-05-31 18:15:02I woke up because of the beaming sunlight from the glass window near the bedside I'm lying.
As I gathered my thoughts, my eyes went for a tour in an unfamiliar room I'm in. The room is dark and spacious and has a gray and black motif. Some paintings were hanging on the brick wall.
"Finally you're awake"
My attention suddenly shifted to the owner of that voice. He is half-naked fresh from the shower.
I almost jumped when I saw Reid Alonzo himself in front of me.
"What are you doing here?"
I asked, looking at his handsome face directly,
"you passed out"
he replied while wiping his head with a towel.
How can he look this way every time I see him?
"What did you do to me?"
Did something happen? All I remember is that kiss, why am I here anyway?
"Okay first you're in my house, and nothing happened between us, Becca"
I touched my lips, doubting that the kiss we shared is part of a dream.
He walks towards me and touches my face. Looking at him now I might pass out again, he gently brushes my hair away from my face.
"Okay, can you please wear something?"
the only thing that comes to mind to say.
"Easy lady, I just want to check if you are feeling well now, by the way, thanks for helping me with Liz"
He hesitated to move away from me for a while, after what he said about Liz I eventually realized that the kiss we shared is real.
I'm sure my face looked so puzzled presently.
"Sure you're okay?"
He said, still giving me that intimate look.
"Yes"
I answered while breaking eye contact with him,
"come down in a while I'll prepare something to eat for both of us"
he announced while leaving the room.
He kissed me and acted like it was nothing? Are girls some sort of toys for him? This man is beyond impossible. My head hurts thinking of this mess.
Attempting not to panic I went down as instructed.
"Sit down"
Reid declared, he wears sweatpants and a plain white shirt, yet he manages to look so dashing,
He caught me eyeing him so I looked away immediately.
He smiles and surprisingly it gives me comfort.
What do I need to say to break the silence?
"Liz and I are over, I was desperately wanting to cut ties with her. That's why I kissed you intentionally"
he explained.
"I see"
I replied concealing what I feel.
"Becca, I'm sorry, are you embarrassed?"
Isn't it obvious it will be rude to say that to my new boss right? Since the meeting on the elevator, all I have is trouble with this man. I promised to not get involved anymore, I should focus on work.
"Well nothing I can do about it let's just put this all behind us and act like professionals can we?"
Observing the glimpse on his right now he seems unhappy with what I said.
"Sure"
he answered emotionlessly.
"How can I leave from here?"
I asked about cutting any personal issues between us.
If there is an invisible string that connects us somehow? I need to cut it.
I pull myself up to stand when I lose my balance and almost fall to the floor but Reid comes to my rescue, grabs me towards him.
"Opps got you"
He mumbled hugging me.
I look up to meet his face, still no idea what to say and do,
he looks at me sweetly and says,
"you are so beautiful you know that right?"
I can no longer breathe, but I manage to distance myself from him.
Composing myself I responded,
"Sorry about that, I have to go"
rushing my way out, he grabs my hand and tells me,
"I'll drive you home"
I look at him puzzled again.
"Alright you can let go of my hand now "
the words I utter back, trying to pull my hand away from him.
He gently let go of and answered,
"Wait here, let me get the car key, you keep hurting yourself Becca makes me want to take care of you"
just like that, he is gone from my sight.
Why do I feel right when he is near me? I prefer to have my normal self back.

"Alonzo darling are you home?" a voice of a sophisticated old woman echoing the whole house. "Mom, what are you doing here?" Reid raised a question to her shocked mom. "Honey, do I need permission to visit my only son?" her mom thought aloud. "Who is this beautiful young lady you're with Alonzo? Who is it this time? She added quickly, staring closely at me. "She's Becca one of my employees"

Another normal day in the office when I received an email that we have a meeting. I'm curious about the agenda. I tried not to mind the urge sensation to see Reid in the office. I hope it doesn't look so obvious that I'm avoiding bumping into him. I wear trousers, a white turtle neck top and a coat. Conscious of how I present myself in front of Reid. Our last conversation didn't go so well, I want to develop a nice working relationship with him. Nothing personal simply works. "Bec, in the conference room now" Sierra trying to make me stand up from my office seat. She looks pretty normal today.

We arrived before sunrise, Sta. Inez is such a beauty to behold, the pure fine white sand and the mix of green and aqua blue water, crystal clear. "It is indeed love at first sight" I thought aloud and it was too late to hold back, Reid started gazing my way and surprise was all over his face. "I supposed you like what you see? this place is one of the many places I go back into to refresh me, glad you like it, Becca" He gladly told me, Reid is in his best element, he is at home and cozy on this island. I'm delighted to join him at least for this project. "I feel the same vibe, thanks"

I wasn't so sure how long that kiss lasted, all I'm certain of is it was passionate and heartfelt. The feeling of falling in love arose within me. I knew this feeling before with Gio, but that was all in the past, and what I feel for Reid is something bigger, like a force of life wanting me to give in. Reid makes me weak and gives me butterflies in my stomach every time our eyes meet. He never said anything about us, or about how he feels towards me, but actions speak louder than words. The rest of the employees of Manhannah creative and design arrived today, we are all starting the project that Reid and Rina planned to make big this year. "Bec!"

I was told to get a few more days to rest before coming back to work, Reid insisted on making sure that I stay in bed. There is no room arguing with him about it, so I let it slide and have his way, he's concerned about me, I'm grateful for that. Now that is over I'm excited to come into the office, or I'm much more excited to see Reid, oh boy how I missed him, these last days with him were the happiest days of my life. I took a shower and made sure that I used the body scrub Sierra gave me, picked a pantsuit for the outfit today, pulled my hair up for a nice hair bun, and I put a little shimmer in my eye lids and some light nude lipstick. This is the first time I have dressed up before going to work. Well, I want to look my best after all Reid is there.
Last Updated : 2021-06-16Her No Chapter 10: Unexpected Goodbye
I filed a temporary leave of absence, after what happened last time, I can't give my full attention to work, and that's unfair. I already emailed Rina to process my resignation. I understand it's a bit unexpected but I've been with Manhannah creative firm and design, for several years, and I think it's high time for me to grow with another company, given the situation Reid and I have. Sitting here in an Italian restaurant near my apartment, like the old days eating lunch alone, my phone rang so I picked it up seeing the register name on it, Sierra is calling, "Hey, Bec are you alright? I heard what happened, are you leaving me alone in the company? Don't you want to settle it with Reid first?" I think about what Sierra mentioned, but Reid is nowhere to see, he ev

I was a total wreck when I left. How could I be such a fool for letting Reid hurt me this way? Yes, that's right Becca makes sure you will forget about everything. About how he makes you feel, about the kisses you both shared, about the love you both could have felt. It is officially over, but how can something that feels so good can feel so bad too? "Champagne Ma'am?" The flight attendant brought me back from deep thinking. "No. Thank you." I left him and I left everything behind because of him. I felt the tears slowly filling my eyes.

We arrived at the airport around six in the morning. Gio needs to visit His sick mother, so He left me here to wait for Sierra. Nothing much changed. The only fact that I'm back is making me a little anxious. His face, His eyes, everything about Reid Alonzo is making me uncomfortable. What if I bump into Him somewhere? What will I say to Him? Can I even say Hi? Or Hello? The image of His perfect face is all I see when I close my eyes. I wouldn't say I like this—the feeling of wanting, longing to see Him again. I dialed Sierra's number, but Her phone couldn't be reached. I decided to leave my things in the baggage area and will try to get some coffee first. I made my way to ask airport personnel where I could get coffee. He told me that food and beverages are located on the fift

Her No Chapter 16 Still His
The day passed as quickly as I expected. I haven't heard from Reid. No calls or text messages. Relief and worry filled my heart, so it was merely sex for him. I have so many what-ifs about what happened between us. "Hey babe, breakfast? Gio pulled me from myself, thinking. He has a plate of bacon, eggs, and fried rice with hot coffee in a mug. I smiled at how thoughtful this man is. I gazed at him. "Wow, babe, thanks, you are truly the sweetest of them all." I sweetly blunted out. "Of them all? Why is there someone besides me?" My heart suddenly beat faster and faster; Reid's face popped in my head out of the blue "No, of c
Her No Chapter 15 Letting Go
Reid is not someone to disappoint in this physical matter. He lowered his head farther to my breasts, kneading one with a skilled hand while pulling the other into his mouth. I shuddered, the sensation turning my blood hot and cold and making sweat trickle down every part of my skin. When he was nowhere near my breasts, he still moved into my abdomen, licking his way to my entrance. He felt the urgency, felt it in me too. He was not one to move slowly. I was more than grateful for that. Reaching my clit, he took it roughly into his mouth and nipped it. I moaned then, unable to stifle the sound inside. And began thrashing with rising orgasm when he teased me to no end. He then inserted two fingers inside me, pumping in and out, making me create a small pool on the couch. Realizing I was near the edge, he drew his fingers out and straightened up.
Her No Chapter 14 Flesh to Flesh
The wedding night was cut shorter than I believe it would. Gio didn't say a thing about the kiss, so I guess there's nothing much to worry about. Gio went to see her sick mom again. He asked me if we could stay for the next two weeks here. I decided to say yes; who am I to say no to my boyfriend, who has a dying mom in the hospital bed. I called my direct boss to extend my vacation leave. Gio left last night to catch the earliest train to visit his mom. My phone beeped at once, so I snatched my phone on the countertop; it might be Gio checking me. Hey Cara Mia, I miss you… The endearment caught me off guard; I almost jumped, reading the message. I'm sure it's Reid. I'm so hesitant to reply. I made my way downstairs. We checked out at the hotel since Sierra is off on her honeymoo
Her No Chapter 13 The Wedding
I knocked on Sierra's room; today is the big day. She's getting married, and as her maid of honor, I needed to be beside her. "Hey, beautiful, feeling okay?" I asked her sweetly. "I'm uneasy, Bec. Is it normal to feel like this before the wedding?" Of course, I wouldn't know I had never been married before. But I need to lift her spirit. "I wouldn't know that, but all I know is, your soon-to-be husband loves you, Sierra; he adores you, nothing to be worried about." She gazed at me, eyes teary. "Thanks, Bec; you know how it means to me, right?"
