When 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
Kiss in the Shadows"Softy!"I looked beside me when I heard a distinct voice close by. I had a glass of juice in one hand and my mobile phone in the other. I'm waiting to hear from Auntie Pat. The twins have not yet returned home. She’s already worried.A tall, young man with fiery, chocolate-coloured eyes stared at me from a few inches away. His smile was one-sided, and both of his hands were in the pocket of his pants. He has thick brows and a lovely nose. His skin compliments his masculine features. I couldn't blame the girls around him for swooning over him."Xylon Diaz! You're so handsome!" I noticed a woman nearby who screamed and nearly fainted.My eyes rolled around in the air. Who is that lady
Soft and TastyWho is this wicked person who forced a kiss on my lips? Nobody has ever kissed me. I even tried to stay away from boys because my studies are my top priority. Then a man in the dark will kiss me and take advantage of me?For a brief moment, I was stunned. My knees were both trembling. I'm experiencing a strange creeping sensation within me.But damn, that kiss was delicious! The kiss engulfed my entire body, providing me with a luscious experience I had never had before.His stubble is still tickling around my lips. His scent was so masculine that it will be difficult to forget. It was like my body was possessed by dark magic. His kiss was paralyzing my mind, my body, and I couldn't help but think about it. It's as if I don't desire him to
The Song"Do you have feelings for Xylon?"I was surprised to see Dalia standing next to me as I came back at the present moment."I, too, am a woman. I know how you feel about him. Mother Nena had already agreed. Xylon and I made plans to marry if ever I return and he's still single..." She folded her arms and looked at me. "I returned to pursue our marriage. And guess what?" I noticed her jaw tightening and then letting out a deep sigh. "He declined my request. He told me that the only girl he would marry... was the one he truly loved," she declared, her gaze bitterly fixed on the two people on stage who are very much in love.Xylon handed the microphone to Farah. That was the last scene I saw before I slowly turned around.My hear
Min Elskede"I know Fiore is courting you…"My forehead creased as Xylon obstructed my way. I was walking to the library and in a rush to catch up with my thesis professor."So?”“There’s something you need to know...”I stepped forward but he quickly moved and his robust body blocked my way."Get out of my way, Xyle. I'm in a hurry." I couldn't help but just look at his physique. He was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans. It naturally suits him whatever this arrogant, jerk is wearing."What do you want?" I asked annoyingly. It was like we were playing 'patintero
