< Clarence’s POV >

If I would tell myself that I had finally forgotten who she was: her face, her voice, and her mannerisms, I would be lying straight to myself. After all, I pride myself on self-awareness and I don’t want to be blinded by my own feelings.

Not anymore.

It has been three years since then. I tried to forget. She used to be a beacon of my light, whom I thought would help me guide the right path of becoming a better person.

She made me later appreciate what life was without money. She was the only one who had been a positive influence on me.

Anastasia.

I met her when I witnessed her being thrown on the streets. Her own drunk father kicked her out and a lot of people watched her banging the door, begging to be inside.

Some looked at her with sympathy, others just went minding their own business.

Yet, none are willing to help her as she slumped down on the floor while her shoulders trembled.

I didn’t know what got into me, but I approached her, decided to offer a bit of kin

    “Yo!” Her face turns in my direction and then she instantly frowns at my own stare. I guess she doesn’t feel scared or even surprised about the proximity we have anymore. It’s a pity, I even made sure that I leaned closer, too close for her personal bubble as I greeted her. Seeing that she was so immersed with her phone earlier, I thought I could give her a scare. “Hello, Clarence,” she greets nonchalantly. And at that, I frown. “Ah, that’s it? No more blushes, shyness, or…” I pause a bit to add a dramatic tone. “Maybe fear?” “No,” is her immediate reply as she asks me to sit across from her. Well, seeing that she chose a table with two diner double booth seats, my, this table is too big for just the both of us. So, I sat next to her instead. Her eyes widen and somehow the pinkish tint is visibly shown on her cheeks. That’s the reaction I like to see. She immediately scoots away from me but the diner booths are good for two people, after all, so she has to

    Clarence is acting strange. Well, he is always strange and I thought that this has been the usual but this time he has been kind enough to clean his own mess.Each moment, I’ve continued to eye on his changes of behavior. And yet again, he has been strangely well-behaved.Like a normal student should do.“So, it’s official: since neither of us is going to do some shitty skit, or we couldn’t write mushy poetry, we can make a diorama,” he says as he tucks the papers of our ideas. “We are going to use materials to create a unique concept that could blow McLaren’s brains out.” He chuckles then he takes out a paper and taps on the encircled part we wrote earlier. “I like your idea of a caste system, parvenu. I didn’t expect this to interest you more for the so-called ideal civilization.”“N-no, rather than implementing it, I want it to be different.”“Oh, like what?”I pause for a while, trying to think of a reason. “I just want a system like those online games. You keep lev

    “Are we going there yet?” Clarence, who was so excited to go not too long ago, is now looking impatiently. He has been walking in circles as I, the center of his circling steps, is trying to tap the send button on my phone.But I couldn’t.S-Should I, shouldn’t I? This is the very first text message to Luca’s number. And I don’t get why I am hesitating till now. We patched things up, right? We have already settled our differences.So, why can’t I click it?Not to mention that in his contact list, I wrote “The Bringer of Misfortunes” and I tried to remember why. It was definitely out of impulse during our first meeting.So I check my own text message for the fiftieth time as I gulp, wondering if this is good enough to convince Luca.‘Hi, Luca. This is Nina. My project partner and I are heading there since we decided to make a diorama if you don’t mind. And I promise to clean everything afterward!’A hand grabs her phone as Clarence sends the message when I hear the click

    I’m surprised that everything goes more smoothly than I anticipated. Clarence has been too focused on making Dante's Inferno-inspired diorama without a lot of unnecessary chitchats. He’s also good at assigning me tasks that I can do efficiently.You can say, Clarence has what it takes to be a great leader.And just like that, after four or five hours without any break, I see our diorama come to life. We got the four circles which should look like a caste system, the spiral staircase using white clay with some glitters to reach each level and each floor represents the Untouchable’s success.I gotta hand it to Clarence, he really did make it more believable. He even painted the figurines and dressed them up to match their level.“You have a knack in art,” I comment, my eyes continue to fixate on the strokes of the brush he uses.“And you know how to compliment, why, thank you, Nina,” he says while giving a dramatic light bow before continuing.I laugh and find his gesture

    If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have asked Clarence that question. If we finished the diorama without any idle chatter, Clarence could have left the building before Luca even arrived.But I'm not all-knowing; I didn't expect Luca to come back early, let alone at the worst possible timing!As if time freezes, Luca remains frozen stiff. His golden-brown eyebrows arch upwards and his mouth is hanging still. We haven’t moved for a while, and I’ve realized two things: Clarence is still on top of me and he hasn’t moved an inch as his head is still facing Luca's.“C-Clarence,” I say in a raspy voice, my voice quivering from both fear and embarrassment. “Get o-off me.” My hand reaches his shoulder and slightly moves him aside and thankfully, his body moves on its own as he releases my shoulders.I slide my lower body away from him so that I can finally sit on the floor and curve in a fetal position.“Nina, you have some explaining to do.” I look up and Luca finally

    “No, of course not.” I laugh nervously, my eyes avert from his.“Nina, I can easily tell a person if they’re lying or not.”At that moment, I’ve realized a little bit too late that my habit of looking away is just making him more suspicious.I gulp, slowly looking at his grey eyes. Weeks ago, if it weren’t for that drinking incident, he would just glare at me or ignore my existence. But now, the eyes he is showing to me were...mesmerizing.“Nina?”It snaps me from my own thoughts and I shake my head, embarrassed that once again, I’ve been gawking at Luca. “W-what makes you say that I’ve been assaulted?”He slowly lets go of my shoulder and he says, unperturbed. “I know the way he looks at you. Like a wolf eyeing his prey. Unless it's consensual, I have nothing against that.” He crosses his arms. “I just want to hear what really happened, that’s all.”“Well,” I start, realizing that my excuses aren’t going to work on Luca. I am going to make a mental note on that. “I sai

    This is what I’m afraid of when Luca starts to ask questions about my life. And when he asks, he is the type to get the answers he wants. I’ve been hiding my pathetic self from him but failed to hide it thanks to my drunken state. Who knows if he still treats me normally if he knew that I got bullied all my life.But Luca is here, waiting for me to speak. He has been very, VERY patient that I feel like he is willing to wait for me until the end of the day. I gulp. “I once had a female friend in the past. She took pity on me when I—” When I got bullied and got locked up in the girl’s bathroom. “—when I failed all of my exams. She thought I was really pathetic.”“Then we sort of had this falling out. And we haven’t been friends or I am not on speaking terms with her now.” Because she was afraid of being targeted by the bullies after I refused to leave Gene’s side. “Since then, I have had a difficult time making friends.”“And does that bother you?”“W-well, I’m happy t

    “Sometimes I was wondering if you have mood swings.”Oh, this is a first. I look to Yu’s direction who has been using that smug look of his. His knuckle was placed neatly on his cheek as he leaned, making him bend a bit for comfort. He eyes both me who has been reading the magazine next to the stand and behind me, Nina, who has been blushing during the hair session.We are at the salon, the finest in Dawn City and when I found out this morning that Nina had been cutting her own hair in the bathroom, I immediately called Yu to set an appointment for La Beau Salon.Apparently, when they heard of my name, they quickly canceled other appointments and reserved the whole shop for me. So that leaves the two of us watching girls pampering my little (ex) nuisance.Oh right, going back to Yu.“Is it because I’m now getting well with my future step-sister?” Not to mention that I could finally sleep well now and back in my bed after the reconciliation.“Yeah, not long ago you have

    NINA“Are you sure you’ll be okay, Nina?”I nod as I squeeze his hands. “What’s more important is that you have to check up on her. She needs a friend.”“Thank you, babe,” he says, showing off his dazzling smile. “Should I call Yu to catch up with you?”He shakes his head. “It’s best not to let him know yet. Heather wouldn’t be pleased if I inform Yu about…this.”“Why?”He gives a sheepish smile. “Let’s just say Yu and Heather have some kind of history.”I guess that would mean it is something Luca has no right to intervene between them. “Well, I don’t want to take your time. I h-hope she’s fine, Luca. I really do.”There is a pregnant pause before he gives an upheave sigh. “I sure hope so.”I get off from the car as I am greeted with the apartment that I go to every single day. I know it’s been a week since I’ve seen the place but it brings a nostalgic feeling compared to my home in Freedomville.After I bid Luca goodbye, I head straight upstairs without any luggage as they are all

    NINAIn the end, we didn’t leave the ship to see the islands Luca spoke fondly of. Instead, we overstayed in the private suite, enjoying the feeling of sex as I continue craving for it more.I don’t know what got me to do this. I’ve never considered sex as something I would enjoy. Those talks among my peers should repulsed me but now after experiencing it for the first time with the first man I’ve been infatuated with, I relish every single moment of our lovemaking.Because both of us know once we end our week vacation, we have to return to reality. And as time flies fast, we are now at Luca’s private jet heading straight to Dawn City. It will take seven hours to reach there, so we spend our time fooling around inside my room.And after the days spent with our whirlwind of sexual intercourse, we are sprawling on the bed, snuggling under the bed sheet cover as we view the night sky outside of Europe.“From the scale of 1 to 5, how would you describe our trip?” He asks while stroking m

    LUCAShe’s so beautiful. Hot.Amazing.And so right for me.Men in Freedomville are foolish enough to break her self-esteem, rendering her oblivious to her own beauty. Because all the flaws I’ve seen in her—her shyness, her clumsiness, everything about her are endearing. She brings the light to my mundane, busy life. Who could have thought that my goal for perfection means nothing when I’m content with her by my side?Nina Caulfield, the original source of my conflict with my family.Yet, here we are: naked, shamelessly exposed under the bright light of the bedroom VIP suite as our bodies entangled together. I continue devouring her lips—to entice, nib, bite and suck–while not letting go even before undressing her.“Hn!” She breaks off the kiss, pulling herself away the moment I bite her lower lip hard. I unlatch our embrace as her heated body drops back on bed, her swollen lips gracefully sunder, catching her breath. As she takes a moment of rest, I take this as an opportunity t

    NINA “He disappeared?” I repeat his words as a cold sweat drops from my cheek. The noise of the gym has long in deaf ears as the news slowly absorbs in my mind. “Then his company?” He shakes his head. “His company is being operated by the one which was being sold by Lucille. I don’t know which one, as the Milano family hide everything for the sake of their reputation.” Oh God. All of these happened to Luca before I met him. And to top it all up, my mother’s involvement with his dad took a huge toll on him. “Why are you telling me this, Anton?” Unfortunately, he ignores me as his attention is elsewhere. Anton’s eyes flicker as soon as his eyes wander back to the exit. As I turn, both of us can see Luca’s figure heading back to us. “Anyway, it’s best not to ask him unless he brings it up. But then again, it’s up to you, Nina. If you want to continue dating him, you have to consider all of these…” He pauses before he gives me a worried smile before patting my shoulder. “If his

    NINAJust as suspected, Anton is at the sports center playing soccer with other men of different ages. When he sees me, his face brightens as he beams.“NINA!” He bellows. He excuses himself in the middle of the game as he makes a beeline from the crowd of sweaty men as he runs closer to see me.However, when his eyes wander to see the tall figure next to me, he stiffens and his legs unconsciously wobble and step backwards.I shoot Luca a glare. “Are you glaring at him?”“No, but you’re obviously scaring the poor lad with yours,” he says while giving a toothy grin. I sigh as I step forward and get closer to Anton. “Hi, Anton. Luca has something to tell you, if you don’t m-mind hearing him out.”Anton remains hesitant but hasn’t left his spot. It’s a good sign, I guess? But it gives Luca an opportunity to step forward with his long leg, stretches his hand and smiles. “We got off the wrong foot due to my poor judgment the other day, so I am here to apologize for my words.”With reluct

    NINA“Are you listening, Nina?”I absent-mindedly nod as I smile, sheepishly. "C-can't we take a break, Luca?”"Not until we solve this formula. It's not that hard."“E-easy for you to say! This one has no numbers at all!”“Quadratic equations is being taught in middle school, we need to learn this first before you dive into Calculus.”Once again, Luca is in his teacher mode. He has been aching to lecture me about it since he has sworn an oath to Yu not to skip lessons while we’re on our trip. Besides, he’s more than happier to retake the mantle as my tutor.The tutorial session is the same as usual. We talk like we used to and he has been both strict and patient during today’s session. Well, except for one thing.Luca's arms wrap around my waist—which I notice he enjoys doing,as his lips give playful kisses on my neck. I shiver the moment his breath touches my skin and moan a bit as his lips touch there."L-Luca! I thought we weren't going to have a break!" The blush on my cheeks be

    CLARENCE“Gene Sullivan? I’ve heard that you’re looking for me.” He’s all skinny bones.The first thing that comes to my mind the moment he turns, facing me with bandages nearly covering up his face.Seeing him in a dire state, I visibly flinch, and upon closer inspection, the bruises, especially the cut lip, the dampness of his bandaged head and a visible black eye on his left, are pretty much recent.His uninjured eye gazes at me and I’m visibly surprised that there is this intensity of his stare—instead of a victim of violence and abuse, he has the air of a soldier combating his enemy. A fighter, to sum it up. “Clarence, right? Nina talks about you from time to time.”Ah, this answers my speculation, all right. He is the “fake boyfriend”.I smile before giving an affirmative nod. “Well, I’m glad my name is mentioned from her very own lips. It’s an honor especially that she values you as her best friend. Pleasure to finally meet you, Gene Sullivan.” I extend my hand, implying comm

    NINA If there is one way to phrase out how I am feeling, it should have been the feeling of bliss. Pure happiness of experiencing lovemaking from the man whom you were attracted to for a long while. Or so I thought. Sore from down below, I couldn't get up after waking up in the morning. My back even aches and the different positions Luca suggested during the second round was the cause of this. It was a miracle that I could adjust to his size and his stamina but…oh dear Lord, why the heck is he so big? Speaking of Luca, he wasn't around when I woke up. But he has cleaned me, seeing that I am wearing an oversized dress and my body is no longer drenched with sweat and err–semen. Okay, no more dirty thoughts, Nina. You’ve already done the deed last night. And seriously, how did he manage to change the bed sheets? Was I really that deep in my sleep to be unaware of my surroundings? There is a knock before Luca returns with a tray of breakfast and a plastic bag hanging on his wr

    NINA It was so sudden. Earlier we were arguing, an unreasonable banter that riled me up until I wanted to be alone due to this sour mood. But now, after his revelation and his desire for me, I couldn’t lose this chance. I would be too embarrassed to admit that since I caught his lovemaking with Heather, I…was envious. And that desire outgrew my envy as relief washes over my guilt. This desire that I wanted from Luca, the man who could bring these emotions within me. Not Yu, not Clarence and not even Gene. Luca is the only one who could challenge me, who could bring out these foreign emotions bottled up in me. My greediness to have him as mine. As we lie on the bed, our passionate kisses heighten the heat right through between my legs. It’s different when I had my first kiss with him—his drunken self not too long ago. This isn’t a drunken mistake anymore. I am being embraced by the sobered Luca right now. His hands wander around my skin, exploring as his warm fingertips
