Daveina examined the lady's face carefully, her eyebrows knitting as she felt a strange familiarity. "Why do I feel like I know her?" she wondered silently but quickly dismissed the absurd thought. It was highly unlikely that they had ever met, considering the distance between Surabaya and Yogyakarta.
"Call me Aunt Erika," Erika replied softly, then gently caressed Daveina's cheek with the back of her hand.
Daveina quickly excused herself as her phone rang loudly in her bag. She grasped the lady's hand, kissed the back of it, and then left the boutique. Upon arriving at the boutique's parking lot, Daveina couldn't find her car keys. Panic set in, and she was about to re-enter the boutique to search for them when, in her haste, she accidentally bumped into a man. Immediately, Daveina closed her eyes, expecting a sharp rebuke from the man. However, her sense of smell caught a very familiar scent.
"Yo... You?"
One week had passed since the painful farewell between Aurora and Dave. In that week, there had been no word from Dave, not even a response to Aurora's messages or calls. Aurora was both frustrated and longing for her lover, with various questions swirling in her mind. Did Dave truly love her? Or was it only her who had hoped too much for Dave's love?With a heavy heart, Aurora left the classroom. Her only friend in the same class had been absent from lectures for the past two days, a friend who always cheered her up with his mischievous ways when she was feeling down. In times like this, when her mood plummeted, only Delon came to her mind. Her other two friends, Arabella and Laura, were busy with their community service activities. Now, it seemed she had no one to keep her company."Such bad luck I have, my friends are gone, and my boyfriend is nowhere to be found," Aurora sighed inwardly."Hey, beautiful, all alone? C
There was a moment of hesitation as Kenzi's car began to move along the empty streets. For the first time, Kenzi felt disarray all because of a woman. Ultimately, he decided to cancel his evil plan; he wanted to win Aurora's heart in a good way. "Dave, why haven't you been in touch? I miss you so much. Don't worry about what my father said. I promise to convince him to approve of our relationship," Aurora rambled, tears streaming down her face. Kenzi immediately stiffened at the mention of another man's name. His heart boiled hearing Aurora call out another man's name. Kenzi quickly changed the direction of his car from Aurora's house to a hotel. "You belong to me, Ra," Kenzi muttered with a sharp gaze and a sinister smile as he drove down the paved road in front of him. Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, Kenzi immediately carried Aurora's body into the hotel and handed his car keys to the valet. The
Once again, Aurora had to swallow the bitter pill of not receiving a single reply from Dave. She found herself staring at her phone screen with anxiety, waiting for the gray checkmarks to turn blue. Aurora sighed deeply when she realized that it had been a month since the two-door fridge guy had given her any news; the man with copper-brown eyes seemed to have vanished off the face of the Earth. Unfortunately, Aurora was feeling lost in her life.Longing? It was a feeling that always cut Aurora's heart slowly every moment. Heartbreak because of her unrequited love with Andra wasn't as painful as her separation from Dave. This man had successfully captured all of Aurora's thoughts and heart, disrupting her peaceful life. In a short time, he had written a sweet story that Aurora had never experienced before. And now, should she just forget about him? Meanwhile, the love in her heart continued to grow stronger.*Tin...tin.* The honking of a car
Now, their two pairs of eyes locked, silently conveying their deep longing. They channeled their profound emotions through silence. The girl scrutinized Dave's face, which looked disheveled, with dark under-eye circles accentuating his strong jaw. Her gaze shifted to Dave's body, which appeared thinner than the last time they had met.Once again, the girl stared intensely at the man in front of her, her eyes welling up with tears. "Dave," Aurora murmured softly, her trembling lips. There was no response from the man who remained frozen in place. **Thud...** Aurora's body suddenly collided with Dave's, and he pulled her roughly into his arms, embracing her tightly. Without a word, Dave tightened his grip, showering her with kisses on the top of her head."Sorry," Dave whispered, the only word he could utter.Slowly, Aurora's hands rose, reciprocating Dave's embrace. She inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of
It didn't take long for Aurora to drift into a peaceful slumber, but Dave, on the other hand, remained restless. His mind was solely focused on the girl he adored, who was now sound asleep in his bedroom. Dave shifted to sit up, his hands cupping his face. He let out a deep, audible sigh before rising from his seat and making his way towards the bedroom.The door creaked open softly. In the dim light, Dave could still clearly see Aurora's beautiful face, now peacefully asleep. He slowly approached the bed and slipped under the covers. Now, he could gaze at her lovely face without interruption. His hand gently brushed away a strand of hair that partially obscured Aurora's face. Dave couldn't believe that the girl he loved so deeply was lying beside him.Suddenly, a surge of irritation washed over him as he thought about how reckless Aurora had been, driving all the way to his apartment by herself. Her stubborn and headstrong nature was what o
Aurora closed her eyes as Dave's lips gently brushed against hers, her hands clutching Dave's shirt tightly. Despite her logical thoughts telling her to resist, her body had a different idea. She found herself enjoying Dave's tender affection. Dave's right hand held the back of Aurora's head, deepening the kiss. As time passed, the kiss grew more passionate, and small moans escaped Aurora's lips. Slowly, Aurora began responding to Dave's kiss, guided by her instincts. Both of them were lost in the kiss, completely absorbed in the moment, until Dave's hands began to unbutton Aurora's shirt, leaving only her black bra clinging to her body. Dave held back a groan, his gaze darkened with desire. Aurora couldn't resist; she was also relishing every touch from Dave. Aurora felt like she was floating, experiencing pleasure she had never felt before. Dave's lips explored every inch of Aurora's neck, leaving behind marks of possession."Dave," a soft, breat
Dave finally decided to go swimming in the morning to cool off the turmoil that had been awakened every time he was near Aurora. It seemed that maintaining a long-distance relationship (LDR) was the best decision rather than continuing to make mistakes. Dave knew what he had done to Aurora was sinful, but for a man who had recently turned to a more Daveout path, it was incredibly challenging to resist. Moreover, he used to be accustomed to one-night stands (ONS) with many women.That girl had come into his life quite unexpectedly, like a nuclear bomb, demolishing the sturdy defenses he had built over three years. And what was worse, she was so innocent that she never realized her revealing outfits often stirred the curiosity of men who wanted to explore her smooth, enticing body. Dave was one of them, constantly craving for her to become his."Dave, why didn't you invite me to swim?" Aurora asked, standing by the poolside without Dave notici
While Dave was picking up his car, Aurora waited in the apartment lobby, playing with her phone and checking her social media accounts. Many comments filled her post from three days ago when she endorsed a local brand called Stargirl, known for producing high-quality products equivalent to famous foreign brands. Stargirl has already introduced three flagship products: sneakers, high heels, and handbags. Affordable prices with guaranteed quality have made Stargirl popular among teenagers. Aurora's smile widened as the positive response to the product she endorsed had captured the interest of her followers on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.Tin... The sound of a motorcycle horn immediately diverted Aurora's attention from the flat object she was holding. Her lips parted in amazement as she saw Dave on a sportbike she knew must have cost a fortune. The man smiled behind his full-face helmet, instantly making Aurora's heart race again.
