It was already dark when they arrived at the entrance of Hotel Le Grande. Justin unloaded her luggage from the trunk while she patiently waited for him.
They entered the hotel together. One of his hand clasped hers while the other pulled her luggage. They skipped the reception and went straight to the open elevator.
He punched the P button, then swiped his card to the slot. After doing these, the elevator door closed and ascended.
Serene looked at him, perplexed. The groves on her forehead formed canals as she searched his face for an answer but got nothing.
They walked towards the door to the end of the corridor. Justin swiped his card to open the door. As soon as it opened, Serene felt cold air embrace her. The room looked familiar to her; she thought she had deja vu.&

The air coming from the air conditioner brushed Serene’s body, sending tiny goosebumps on her arms. She shivered slightly, then snuggled closer to Justin, borrowing some of his body’s heat. He stuck his face in the crook of her neck, sniffing the remaining lavender scent on it.He pulled her close to him. His arm wrapped around her waist, and he trapped her legs in between his. Feeling her frigid arm, he rubbed her to make them warm.His raven hair splayed across his shoulders. Serene picked a lock of it and absentmindedly twirled it around her finger. Just as she had expected, his hair felt soft to touch.“Justin,” she drawled while she traced his back with her finger.“Hm?” he responded while playfully biting her earlobe.

Serene felt the bright warm light touch her face. Her hand felt the space beside her. It was empty but still warm. Her eyes immediately opened to confirm what her hand felt. Indeed, she’s alone on the bed. Her eyes lazily explored the room in search of him. Unable to see him anywhere, she sat up, rested her head on the headboard, then looked blankly at the space in front of her. Justin lazily looked at her. His arms across his chest, his body resting on the bathroom’s jamb, one of his feet crossed in front of the other. A smirk formed on his lips as he watched her dazed look on her face. He peeled himself away from the doorjamb; then he lazily walked towards her. He gave her pouting lips a quick kiss, then shuffled the hair on top of her head. “Good morning, sleepyhead

Serene bit her lips as her eyes scanned Justin's face. All she saw was the movement in his jaws as he looked into the direction Bryan and Chester took. Somehow she felt it would be easier if he showed his dissatisfaction rather than have him sit coldly beside her. Unsure of what’s going on in his mind, Serene swallowed hard and felt icy chills run down her spine and spread through her body. The hand that held his tightened some more, afraid he’d let go. Tears accumulated at the rims of her eyes. Part of her felt aggrieved by the events. She did not know that the necktie would resurface and of all the time it would; it had to be now when they’re just laying the foundations of their relationship, which at this point felt like a grain of rice could topple it. “Shen

Under the guise of wanting her to recover fully, he confiscated her laptop.Serene could not help but shake her head when she heard it. Recover?

Unable to work for a week, her action items for implementing their expense software for Rain International piled up. Unlike in the past where she would just drop by when they have a meeting, because of her piled up work, she had asked Justin to give her a desk in the Finance department so she could work closely with Arthur and his staff.The idea of having her close thrilled Justin. He agreed to her request immediately. Her desk was strategically in between Leo and Rich.The two were chatting while drinking coffee when she came in. She gave them a curt nod and a smile before sliding into her chair. Going through her email as soon as she settled it had been her routine. She had just opened her first email and had barely read the first sentence when she heard the two men on her either side chuckled.

They barely left Rain International when they joined the queue of vehicles trying to get out of the CBD.Justin tapped his fingers, holding the steering wheel in rhythm to the music. Serene closed her eyes and rested her head on the window.“What were the two of you talking about?” she heard him say after a while. Serene inwardly rolled her eyes at his question. She thought that he’s finally over his jealousy, but she’s wrong.“I was getting the same errors when we tried to post data even after I made the corrections. So I asked Rich if he can show me your ERP. He was showing me where the posted data s

In a blink of an eye, Friday had come. After work, she and Justin will head straight to the domestic airport to catch their flight to Coast City. If all things flow as scheduled, they will be home before dinnertime. “Mom,” Serene held the phone by her ear to speak to her mother. “I’ve booked a flight back to Coast City later this afternoon.” “That’s great Baby! Dad, and I missed you. Do you have any requests for dinner?” Carol sounded enthusiastic. “Nothing in particular, Mom. Also…” Serene cleared her throat before continuing, “I’m bringing my boyfriend with me.” Her face was burning red as she picked at the invisible dirt of her free hand. She felt like her mother was glaring at her and she simply had to look away. “Who did you say you'll bring over, De

Like Serene, he put everyone at ease easily.The wild beating of Justin’s heart has calmed down significantly because of Conrad’s deadpan jokes. He had not laughed so much in such a long time.After a while, their car ascended a hill with two almost identical houses at its peak. Both were facing the ocean.
