If I could only see my reflection in a mirror, I know that my cheeks were red as a cherry. My chest throbbed so fast I couldn't properly breathe.
"Kuya! I thought you’re arriving tomorrow?" Sheena hugged him. As if they hadn't seen each other for a long period. Xylon returned the hug.
I began to wonder why she called him ‘Kuya’. ‘Does that mean they're siblings? Xylon was Sheena’s brother?’
"They gave me the contract earlier than expected so I went here straight away." A deep voice coming from him sent shivers down my spine that I couldn't move from where I was standing.
His eyes settled on me. I turned to Camish who was also looking at me with a
New BoyfriendIt was like having a dream. The phrase ‘a little paradise’ was ideal. I had fallen asleep earlier and had forgotten about the time. I was on my way to a very peaceful and calm place. I realised I wasn't in my room when I awoke. The sound of the spring that surrounds the house could still be heard. I could imagine the trees with fresh fruits and green leaves that sway in the late afternoon breeze.I looked out the huge window and enjoyed the wind on my face. The last time I felt this rejuvenated was during my visit to Fiore's ancestral home with his best friend.I gave a bitter smile. When I think back on those days, they taste like acid and make me want to puke.I have my own space. Camish and Caleb each have one
Love Him“Have you met him before, Angel?" Camish's question bewildered me.I couldn't focus on Xylon's serious expressions or the protruding muscles in his arms."Uh... Of course not!" I flatly refused. "It's my first time at this resort. How is it possible that I would have known him?"I mustered the courage to confront Xylon. "I don't know who you are, mister. Also, please don't follow me around like a dog. You're getting on my nerves."Xylon smirked at me. "Who said I was following you? Miss, you’re blocking my way...” Then he walked ahead of us.I was filled with embarrassment. I tried to catch him and when I was already standing next t
Meet ThemMy hair moved with the wind. My face was being buffeted by the cold gust. The sun has set, and it's almost time to hit the hay sack. Even at night, the resort was adequately illuminatedbecause of the mellow lights with faded colours all around the area.I took a seat on a long, teak bench next to a tall mango tree. It wasn't far from the inn, but they probably won't notice me here.Something in the distance captured my attention. I looked around to see if the twins had instantly followed me. I turned around to recognize the familiar enormous dog approaching."Hey, buddy. What are you doing here?" I asked foolishly, smiling. I was wondering why I wasn't scared of the same huge Ge
PatheticWhen he saw Xylon, the dog immediately stood up. It is, without a doubt, his pet. And there was no way the jitters would go away after I admitted to myself that I harboured a feeling for him."How's it going, son? Did you get the contract? How was your piece? Tell me, what happened?" Mother Nena asked vigorously. She was clutching his son's arm.When Xylon cast a brief glance my way, I averted my gaze. I couldn't even look him in the eyes anymore."Mom, you were right. They liked it so much that they proposed I sign a two-year contract..." he announced."Is that true? That's great! You've been wanting to do this for a long time, haven't you?" Mother Nena's reactions were filled with joy for her son. I
A SlutMy whole body was drenched in sweat when I stood up from the leg press machine. I was still panting when I walked and took a clean towel.Camish has spent most of his time in this area since discovering this gym. His body is already filling out with muscles, and he's only getting bigger, that’s why when he lifted me, I was as light as a feather. Then he'd invite me to go swimming in the sea while Caleb was preoccupied with Sheena.My phone abruptly rang. I reached out for it to check who’s calling. And speaking of the brute...I put him on speaker. "Yes, Camish," I replied, still wiping away the sweat from my forehead."Angel, where are you? The event is about to begin."
She’s Softy"She is not a slut!""Sheena, keep your mouth shut!""Sheena!" exclaimed someone.I no longer know who said every word. An invisible, warm slap on the face destroyed me with embarrassment.I lowered my head in humiliation. That insult was not only heard by Sheena's parents. Almost everyone here at the table was directly pouring their eyes at me, including some politicians.Camish placed his hand on my wrist as if he was trying to console me."What got into you, Sheena? Have you forgotten that today is your mother's birthday?" I heard Daddy Niro's controlled voice.
Close FriendXylon couldn't bear looking at us. I could see the sweat dripping from his brow. Dahlia smirked and crossed her arms beside him."Greetings, everyone!" An artistic voice echoed in the middle of the hall.I looked around to see where that voice came from.A woman with clearly dyed-red hair and a broad smile arrived. Her features resembled those of a woman I knew. I have a feeling I've seen her before, but I couldn't remember where or when."Hello, Ms Farah!" Daddy Niro and Mother Nena both stood at the same time."Oh my goodness! Farah Araullo!" Sheena, who was also surprised, rose to her feet. Even the majority was perplexed, and everyone's focus seeme
A Song for HerI wasn’t able to answer the twins, apart from the fact that I also didn't know what to say. If I will admit that I have known Xylon since I was in college, they will only ask me more questions that would lead to whatever relationship I had with him. And I still don't have the courage to tell them the truth.When the emcee called the audience's attention, I shifted my look away to the two-step-high centre stage that had been set up."Mr Xylon Diaz and Ms Farah Araullo, please..." Everyone's fascinated eyes were drawn to the two. I noticed Katy taking Farah's hand, then Xylon's. Then he glued them together. Their hands met as if they were meant to be. And that I was still so pitiful about my feelings for Xylon."Please join me in welcom
