Andrea Salvador

flashback

I puffed out some air and caught the brute staring at me, amused. "That's interesting." He commented, proudly.

"Of course! How could I have forgotten, everything always seems interesting to you. I can't believe you were flirting with that girl while I'm here with you, Francis!!" I said almost in an angry tone. I'm only trying my best not to ruin the moment for us.

"Come on, babe. I was only trying to get some reaction from you which I successfully did. I need to know if you would get jealous of any other woman around me and you just prove me right" he said smiling.

"This is not funny, Francis! She almost got your attention while I was here with you"

"No babe, she can never get my attention. Do you know why? Because you're the only woman that I see. If you could see what I see in you then, you will know that you mean so much to me. If you could feel what I feel, you would also know that our meeting was destined." He said, staring intensively into my eyes.

"Our first meeting wasn't the best. I mean, you gave me that feisty attitude of yours, you made me upset and look down on me even though, I was the most handsome guy you would ever lay your eyes on in the school but yet, you chose to be feisty. You're the first woman who has ever made me feel this way for the first time in my entire life."

"I never believe in love, It's not that I've never had the experience of losing someone or something but it's because I was never drowned inside it. But you made me. Until I met you, Andrea."

"The burn when I touch you, the excitement when I kiss you. Now, I know I feel something for you, I get jealous whenever we go out with our friends and I see you put on a tight dress but I don't show it because I know you belong to me alone."

Okay, I can't seem to understand Francis all through today, he has been acting weird and rather too romantic. Is he planning on proposing to me or what?

Okay, don't be silly Andrea. You two just started your love story, it's still early for him to propose- I mentally remind myself.

"Babe, don't think much because I know you feel what I felt also. In the beginning, it was an attraction but now, I believe it was bound to happen. We're meant for each other. I love you Andrea and I will always do." With that being said, he sealed it with a kiss, taking me off guard.

He tried to deepen the kiss but I needed to tease him a little, I shut my mouth tightly without giving him a chance for an entrance. "Stop torturing me, Andrea." He grunted as he tried kissing me deeply again but I was too stubborn to listen to him.

I'm craving for his touch already but trying hard not to show it. I'm craving to feel his sweet taste in my mouth, he suddenly stopped kissing me and went down straight to my neck and placed a wet deep kiss there.

"Francis" I moaned out his name and that allowed him to move back to my lip and kiss me back deeply as he wanted. His hand roamed through my bare stomach and I shivered from his touch. I held my skirt tighter because of his sweet touch on my body afraid I might just faint on this seat of mine. I'm glad I was still sitting because I have no idea what would have happened to me if I was standing.

We were later interrupted by the next waiter who attended to us. It was a guy this time around and he was so polite and responsible even though, Francis made the poor guy very uncomfortable. He kept on glaring at the poor guy like he did something wrong.

Francis ordered a toasted whole wheat bagel with a vegetable spread and I decided to take the same thing.

Tonight is so wonderful and I do not want it to end. I wish tomorrow would never come. I do not want to get stressed by going to school tomorrow to submit my project, all I just wanted is for the night not to end.

The truth is, this feels like a dream come true, I've always dreamed of falling in love with the right man and now, I do not doubt that Francis is the right man for me.

The Next Following Day

Celine and I hopped out of the car as we both made our way to our supervisor's office respectively.

"See you later at the library" she said to me and walked away in a hurry. I couldn't help but chuckle. She was blessed with a strict supervisor and I couldn't be happier to have a cool-headed supervisor.

I walked into his office and submitted my project to him whilst I patiently waited for a complaint but rather, he accepted it without any correction. I was so glad he didn't make any complaints at all, unlike the previous chapter... I had to edit it twice before he could approve it.

Now, all that's left for me is to pile everything up and bind it before submitting it for signatory.

I walked out of my supervisor's office and the thought of calling Francis popped into my head but suddenly, I heard my name being mentioned. I know those voices so well, it's the boys.

I slowly walk towards where the sound is coming from and stand to the wall to listen to their conversation. "Guys, stop it! Just stop it! I have no feelings for her, okay?" Francis said and my eyes widened in horror. He sounded really upset at the mention of my name.

"Really, Francis. You can't be serious right now" Andrew said.

"I'm fucking serious! Y'all are aware of what has been going on! It was all a bet! We had a bet on her and I won! I made her fall in love with me!" He exclaimed excitedly and tears immediately welled up in my eyes.

B... bet?! They had a bet on me? I was nothing but a bet to him.

"Just admit you're wrong, Francis. Yes, we made a bet but that's because you two don't seem to get along with each other. She's always avoiding you like a plague and that's why we made that bet. Not for you to have a nightstand with her! She will be hurt if she knows about this!" Aaron burst in an angry tone.

"Do I look like I care? I don't care! I won the bet so, let's talk about the car."

W.. wh.. what?!! Now, he's comparing me with a car? I wanted to break down right now but I'm preventing myself not to. All of a sudden, I felt someone wrap their hand around my shoulder.

It's Celine.

She's staring at me with a pitiful look on her face. I wanted to talk but she stopped me by covering my mouth with her hand and shook her head.

"You'll regret this, Francis. Believe me, you will" Xavier said.

"Francis, don't you think you acted too much? You seem serious about her. You always care about her, you even get her things! How do you expect her to feel if she learns about this? If she knows that you played her for over a year, she will be hurt. Look, I know I'm not into this lovey-dovey things but, she's human and has feelings too." Xander said.

"Until when are you going to keep deceiving her? Damn it! Janet will hate me so much for this" Aaron hissed. "I'm so dead in the hands of Celine if she finds out" he added again.

"Y'all need to stop attacking me like I've done the worst thing in the whole world. Look, I will never be trapped with a GOLD DIGGER and a BITCH like her' I'm only sticking to the bet we made and now, I won. I played my part well" he said like it's the simplest thing on earth.

My heart is ripping apart right now, I'm shattered. What have I done to deserve this from him? All I ever did was love and trust him but rather, he chose to BETRAY ME!
