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

The Shadow Has GoneI tapped Kiko on his back. He's in charge of the lights and sounds for tonight's Foundation day celebration."Dude, make sure I'm not getting involved with this!" he threatened me. "I don't want to be expelled. We're already graduating.""I'll take care of you. Just watch for my signal. You know what to do.""As long as you take care of my thesis.""I'll take care of it." We did a fist bump and then readied ourselves.‘You're crazy Xylon Diaz. They said that you were the notorious lady killer. Almost all girls are into you. What nonsense is this you're thinking?

I Love You"I love you.""What?" she looks fascinated."Jeg elsker dig... means I love you. I've always loved you, Miranda. You just didn't know, but there were so many times I wanted to snatch you away from Fiore. Every time I see you, I am so disgusted with myself. I wished I had confessed to you right away. I wished I was the one you had chosen. I wished I was the one who was there with you... I wished..." I was startled when I looked back at her. She's crying. "M-Mir...""I-I wish you're with me every time I remember the day of my parents' death. I wish you're the one I was talking to on the other line before I go to sleep at night. I wish Xyle... I wish you were my first boyfriend. My first date. My first kiss..."

The Meaning of the WordThe view of the orange sky covered the entire surrounding where we sat. The resort was still filled with guests, and the smell of freshly mowed lawn filled the air. I encircled Miranda with my arms as she leant on my shoulder. I couldn't possibly ask for anything more in this world right now."Are you tired?" I inquired of her."Yes, indeed. But it's all worthwhile, Xylon. I thought this would never happen.”I wrapped my two hands around her and hugged her tightly. "I had the same thought. You're so far away. Your eyes weren't looking at me."She let out a soft laugh. "You're wrong. Because you were so close at the time, my eyes became accustomed to your presence.

Granted Wish"F*ck, I am!"Xylon pulled my chin up, forcing me to look into his teary eyes. "Please don't let me repeat it, Softy. Allow me and I'll prove to you—"I didn't let him finish what he’s about to say. I tiptoed and kissed him on his lips. "Then start proving your love to me now," I demanded.I saw him bite his lip and he immediately complied by grabbing my ass with both of his hands and lifted me.The groaning sound of his piano spread throughout the entire room as he gently slammed me to sit on his keyboard.Xylon kissed me. Like he was thirsty for it. He touched me. Like his life depends on it. Unexplainable emotions overfl

I Will Love YouThough my tears were stubborn as they continued to fall down my cheeks, I still tried to control and wiped them using my fingers. My hands and my knees were shaking.I wanted to know if I was dreaming or I was just imagining. But I panicked when I saw Xylon step away as if he didn't notice me."What?!" I growled at him. "What, Xylon? You're going to leave? Huh?" I asked, trying to calm myself. "Don't turn your back on me! Why didn't you tell me about this house? Why did you lie?"I tried to approach him. But I could only take a step because my knees were still trembling."I could have escaped this place back then. You told me this was too far from f*cking civilizations! You tol

Leaving Her"That’s bullsh*t, Fiore!" I confronted him angrily. "Why don't you tell her directly? If you don't love her, then just set her free.""And disappoint my parents once again? My parents want me to only marry her. So I'm taking her back from you!""She's not a thing, Fiore!" I howled. I was running out of patience. "You asked me to let her fall for me—""I did! And you didn't win her at all. She still loves me, Xylon. You had your chance and you blew it all off."I was embarrassed by what he stressed out and I immediately fell silent. Everything wasn't enough for Miranda to also see me like the way she looks at Fiore. I could never change the shape of her heart.

Forgive Himself"Son, Fiore came by and brought his lawyer here."I was alarmed by what dad announced when I arrived home. I was gone for a week to complete all of the lines of my compositions."Dad, we've already discussed this." I looked at him seriously.My father is a jolly, upbeat sort of a person. But he seems to be having a hard time talking to me right now. I discerned this is going to be bad.“He requested that we sign a contract, which we did—""Why did you sign!" I raised my voice in panic. My hands landed on the table in front of the two of us. I couldn't contain the anger I was feeling inside me.

There was an intravenous attached to her hand when I entered her room. She was sedated. Exhaustion was noticeable on her hollow cheek."How are you son?” Dad patted me on the shoulder.“I’m okay, Dad. How did mum end up here?”“Son, your mother was unable to accept that our company has failed. In a week, the bank will confiscate all our assets."I frowned. "Dad, that's not possible. They should have

His Past"Congratulations, Xylon! You're the man, dude. You’ve beaten Ilarde again!" I dodged Kiko's blow. We’re in the same class in Earthquake Engineering."Dude, not only did Satyr beat Fiore. Do you remember way back before? Fiore was also considered by the principal to be the highest honours, but Xylon still reaped the award," Hamin said. He handed me a glass of speculoos beer."He also got Academic Excellence from DepEd, right? How could Fiore win over Xylon Diaz? Aside from being a babe magnet, he's equally talented." Peter tapped my shoulder, and I put down the glass of drink. "I heard your new composition was lined up under Nebula Records, ah! What the heck? You write songs. You sing. What else can you do, man? You can dig everything!"
