I had a feeling that Alex may like me. But I don’t want to be too self-conscious about it and therefore never put much thought into this. Especially after all the drama, I thought that all the feelings he had for me must have been gone.

But he surprised me all over again.

I don’t know what to say. His smile gradually fades away in my silence and after a while he asks reluctantly:

“You do know what I’m talking about right?”

“Yeah. Yes, I know.” I say quickly.

And then there comes the silence again.

We stand awkwardly facing each other in this dim hallway. His hands let go of mine and fall to his side. Eventually, I find my tongue again.

“Sorry Alex. But…I just broke up with someone. I don’t think I’m ready to begin another relationship yet.”

Every word comes out hard, but I need to finish it. He has always been so nice to me. He doesn’t deserve to be treated badly.

“Oh…well. I understand,” he says. There’s a touch of bitterness in his tone, which makes my heart churn.

Alex and her mom are going to tell they have been kissing. he doesn't care if they get caught because he's a guy. she's a girl and her mom is poor without his father. so nothing will happen to him. but she could possibly get her mother to kick her out and have no one. so he is a selfish bastard.

    Spread your legs…A part of me feels shamed for everything we are doing but another part of me is elated with joy screaming wildly for him to take me right here and right now.I bite my bottom lip and gradually the later part of me wins. So, I do as he says and shakily move my legs apart.He lets out a chuckle and further closes the distance between us. The stall is tiny so there isn’t much room left for me to move around. I’m trapped between his muscular chest and the cold mental behind me.He unbuckles my short and pulls it down together with my soaking wet panty. My naked bum slightly shivers in the air but the next second his hand comes up to palm my pussy making me moan out loudly.“Watch your voice,” he whispers to me with a hint of smile. “Not so loud babe.”I jerk and suddenly come back to my senses. This is a Michelin-starred restaurant with dressed-up customers and black-tie waiters. This is a decent and classic place. Plus my mom and Alex are only a few walls away. But here

    When we get back out there, the waiter has already brought up our main courses. Mom and Alex are chatting enthusiastically when we take our seats.“Nat darling. What took you so long?” Mom turns around and asks.I take a sip of my ice water and murmur, “…nothing.”Eason took away my soaked panty and I’m going commando down here. The rough fabric of my shorts keeps rubbing harshly against my sensitive area as I sit here. I feel weird and uncomfortable, as if I’m having a fever. The ice water didn’t have much effect on my heat either.Alex notices the awkward expression on my face. He leans into me and whispers in a voice that only the two of us can hear, “are you ok? He didn’t give you a hard time, did he?”Before I can say anything, Eason suddenly clears his throat, a little too deliberate I must say. I look up at him and find him glaring at me with a clear warning in his eyes.Meeting my gaze, he raises his eyebrow at me and tilts his head. I know he’s reminding me of what I should d

    I wake up in his arms the next morning. The minute I open my eyes, memories from last night instantly come back to me.That’s it. I’ve slept with Eason, with my stepbrother.I carefully turn around to look at him. He’s still sleeping soundly. No matter how much of a jerk he is by day, he seems so cute and peaceful right now. The summer sunshine pours in through curtains and onto his beautiful face, giving the whole room an amber glow.I study his perfect, straight, angular figure. Seriously, I can do this all day, staying in his arms and looking at his sleeping face…Wait.I jerk up a bit, scared by that fleeting thought just like I did yesterday. My movement disturbed him in his slumber, as he murmurs something vaguely and turns around releasing me from his arms.I fight back the temptation to crawl back to his cuddle and get out of bed quietly.I turn on my phone and quickly text my mom, letting her know that I got caught up my “urgent homework” so didn’t come back last night. Then

    Eason’s POVThe annoying noise wakes me up from my sleep. I groan opening my eyes. It takes me a few seconds to realize that the persistent noise is coming from my phone.I grab it and take the call, saying in a raspy sleep filled voice. “This better be urgent.”“Hey man. Having fun last night?” James chuckles.I slowly sit up from my messy bed, rubbing my forehead and letting memories from last night gradually come back to me. We were having a wild party. I remember taking tequila shots and having some random girls slipping their tongues down my mouth. I look around and find only myself on the bed. She probably took off after the party.“I’m hanging up,” I snap.“No no no wait! You don’t want to miss this,” James raises his voice. “It’s about Natalia.”I was reaching over for the glass of water on my nightstand. And suddenly my hand pauses. Her name is like a wake-up call to my hangover. My mind clears up immediately.“What about her?” I ask and immediately regret it. “No forget it.

    “What are you doing here?” I blurt out.Katherine sticks her head out and seems very excited, “Hey you guys made it!”Made it?I shot her an angry glare. She is perfectly aware of the tense situation between me and Eason, even though I haven’t given her all the details. As my friend, shouldn’t she respect my decision and not invite them over without checking with me first?I’m probably overthinking this. But still, I taste a sense of betrayal.James leans on our car and grins at us, “Katherine told us about your plan. So I figured, why not join you guys and make it into a party?”I snap, “didn’t you and Eason have other plans?”He doesn’t even blush as he replies with a wide smile. “Change of plan. We figured this would be more fun. Unless Natalia…are you shutting the door on us?”Obviously, I am.“There may not be enough rooms for you guys,” said I sternly.“In fact—” Katherine begins but I manage to shut her up with my angry glare. The atmosphere becomes a little awkward among us.R

    The rain finally starts to fall, pattering against the window. The view outside is pitch black, with thunder and bright lightning looming within heavy cloud.I stand beside the glass door anxiously, staring into the darkness. No sane person would go swimming under this weather, unless he has a death wish. So Eason is crazy. Then why should I care so much about a crazy person?The rest of the group starts to play poker to kill the time. Their cheerful laughter only makes me more distracted. Eventually when James wins another round of the game and starts to shout out loudly about his victory, I can’t take it anymore and walk up to him.“Aren’t you worried about him?” I ask sternly.“Who?” James says absently as he shaffles the cards.“Eason! He went swimming and it’s fucking raining!” I snap, “Aren’t you worried that something might happen to him? Aren’t you guys like close friends?”My tone is a bit too harsh. The rest of the group snaps their heads up to look at me, all startled by my

    I don’t know how long that kiss lasts. By the time I come back to my sense, I’m soaking wet and shivering from fingertips to toe. So I start coughing and sneezing right into his pretty face.He chuckles, “Alright. At least now I know how you felt about that kiss.”“No! It’s just—I’m freezing here. Don’t you feel cold?”“No. Not really,” he shrugs. “How can I feel cold with our passionate hot love burning in my chest?”“Eww, gross!” I hit him playfully. “Eason Ramirez, I don’t know you as a cheesy talking guy.”“Now you know. And it’s too late to have a second thought…ok enough of this. We’re heading back. You’ll definitely catch a cold if we stay out here a minute longer.”My feet are numb because of the rain. So I have to cling on his body and stagger forward. He signs and lowers his body having his back towards me. “Hop on.”I hesitate. “Umm…you sure? I weigh like—”“You weigh like a feather. And with your limp legs, we won’t be able to make it before dawn. So hop on.”I blush and c

    Eason’s POV “Wow really?” James gasps in excitement. “She actually believed that you are in danger? She must really like you.” I cross my arms in front of my chest, staring at the stove while my mind flashes back to my earlier memories. -A FEW DAYS AGO- “I have an idea,” James announces eagerly. “If you play it right, she’ll be back in your arms at the end of this weekend.” “Listening,” I rub my temples and try to focus on his words. “You are not sure if she likes you, right? And she is a little—well, high-maintenance. So all you need right now is a chance to push her over the edge and force her to open up to you.” “And how I’m going to do that?” “A dangerous situation,” James smirks. “I checked the weather and it’s going to be raining like hell this weekend. Let’s say you are going for a swim in the sea and she is the only one who has noticed that your life is at stake…don’t you think she will do something really irrational under this scenario? And then you can take this perfe

    A large group of people escort me downstairs. Because it is absolutely impossible to move in this dress by myself. The delicate lace of my gown sweeps along the polished wooden steps. I must move very slowly and carefully to avoid any mishaps. I grip the banister, my heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves.At the bottom of the staircase, servants hold open the grand double doors leading to the garden.The scent of fresh flowers wafts in, mingling with the warm early summer breeze. I take a deep breath, letting myself savor this magical moment.And there my dad is, tall and dignified, dressed in his sharpest suit, waiting for me just by the doors.“Dad.” I whisper, reaching out to hold his hand.He turns, his eyes softening as they meet mine. “Nat, you look absolutely—”“Stunning.” I smile, “I know. Mom told me the same thing earlier in tears.”Then I am shocked to find that there are tears gleaming in his eyes as well.My dad is never a man of emotions. This is literally th

    The next morning, I am woken up by the early sunlight and a series of noises.Still half-asleep, I groan and rub my eyes, frustrated.What is going on…Who is out there screaming and yelling…Somebody is trying to get some sleep here…Then something snaps me back to reality like a whip—Fuck! Today is my wedding day!!!Then I hear my mom’s shrieking in the living room, “Is she still asleep? She should be up half an hour ago!”“She is probably in the bathroom. Let me go check on her, Mrs. Ramirez.” That is Jenna’s voice.“Oh thank you darling. You are a life savor…”Light footsteps approach the bedroom door. I only have one quick second to grab the sheet and cover up my naked body before the door flies open.“Morning Nat—OMG, you ARE still in bed!”“…I couldn’t sleep last night.” I swallow, pretending to be calm.Meanwhile, I quickly scan the room—Good, Eason is gone already. I can’t imagine what kind of temper tantrum mom would throw if she finds out that we spent the night together.“R

    Today is the last night before my big day tomorrow.Everything is under control. All the guests have checked into the mansion already. Through the window on the 5th floor, where my bridal suite is located, I can see workers working on the final decoration of the wedding venue in the garden.Everything is on the right track. Except for one.My mom.“Natalia, have you seen the seating chart?!”I stand in the center of preparation room, seeing my mom bustles around with a fervor that is both impressive and exhausting.Dresses hang from every available hook, shoes and accessories are scattered across the floor, and my mother’s meticulous lists cover the desk. The room buzzes with pre-wedding chaos, a stark contrast to the calm I crave.I sigh, “Mom calm down…”“I can’t find the seating chart anywhere! And we need to make sure the caterer knows about Uncle Frank's shellfish allergy!”“Mom—”“And where the hell is your wedding planner!!!” mom raises her voice and cries, “We paid him 1000 buc

    Eason and Mr. Ramirez heard about what happened later that day.“Katherine?” Eason’s voice darkens immediately. “She is a fucking nobody. Her family went bankrupt. Their reputation stinks! How dare she fight you on this venue?”“And I hate it when people go behind my back and bother my family with things from work.” Mr. Ramirez says with a frown. “I will give my people a heads-up, telling them to cut off any connections with her and her husband immediately.”Looks like Rosa’s husband’s proposal will go down the drain even before it got a chance to be presented to Mr. Ramirez.It feels so great to be protected by your own family.Eason still seems mad, “I can’t believe anyone is still willing to marry Katherine! Don’t they know that this woman is crazy?”“Rosa’s family is new to the town,” mom says.Eason lets out a snort, his green eyes gleaming icily, “Maybe they will be interested in Katherine’s history.”I know what he is thinking.If he finds a way to leak Katherine’s history to Ro

    I stare at Katherine with shock.Seriously, I am the thief?!She is the one who tried to steal Eason’s inheritance!She doesn’t look at all like the sweet and kind girl I first met, the one who exuded elegance.Now she is sharp and bitter, but her expression gives away how weary she really is. Her cheeks are pale, and her hair is dull and split. It must have been a long time since she last visited the salon.The bankruptcy really taken a toll on her. She doesn’t need me to make her more miserable. She has taken care of that herself.“Mom, let’s go.” I give Katherine a look of disgust. “Don’t waste our time talking to her.”I grab my mom and try to walk around Katherine.But Katherine blocks our way again.“Why are you leaving? Are you afraid? Afraid of facing me?” her voice is sharp and shrill. “Do you know what people have been saying about you? You are a slut, Natalia! You steal other people’s fiancé because you can’t stand them living a happier and more wealthy life than you are! Lo

    I widen my eyes slightly in shock.That is the last thing that I expect.Honestly, where does that come from?“What letter?” my dad asks with a frown.“Oh, there is a letter that Eason wrote to Nat years ago, when they first met. He chose to do ask her out in the most traditional way—by putting it down on the paper. Don’t you think it would be so romantic and meaningful to read that letter on the wedding? You know, to commemorate the beginning of this relationship?”“What does the letter say?” Hallie asks curiously.“Well that is the main thig—none of us know, except for the two of them.”I let out a dry laugh.My mom doesn’t know about this but the letter actually means more than that. It not only marks the beginning of our love, but also the years-long prejudice and misunderstandings between us.It is literally the start of everything.I look over to Eason and want to see his reaction toward this.…He is blushing like a red ballon.I am so damn shock.Eason is the most barefaced, ego

    I am too stunned to say anything.“We are in Fiji? How??”The last thing I remember from yesterday is drifting into sleep in Eason’s arms. So did we take a flight after that? How come I didn’t have any memory of that?!“Did you drug me?” I eye him suspiciously.He laughs heartly, “I didn’t. It all thanks to your own magic potion. Two bottles of them.”I rub my forehead embarrassedly. I was really hammered last night. I should have known that Eason was up to something to get me drunk.“So,” he smiles. “Do you like my surprise?”I stand on tiptoe to kiss him on the lips, “I love it.”Nothing is better than a getaway trip to Fiji after an exhausted month.Eason knows exactly what I need.The smile on his lips gets wider as he says, “Well, wait till you see this.”He holds my hand and leads me down the stairs, through the villa’s back yard and out to the beach.The sand is white and warm. The ocean is turquoise-blue. And there is a long table set on the beach, surrounded by roses and lilie
