I WALKED along with the tables regardless of the sharp look by some customers at me.
Even before I turned into the hallway, someone blocked my way.
“Well, well, well. The two-timer, slash the personal assistant and the starlet model,” said the woman blocking my path.
I pursed my lips. I just wanted to ignore what she said, but she blocked my path again when I tried to continue.
“How dare you come here after you cheated on our Rexon?!” Her brows twitched like a bitch.
I gritted my teeth. “You are Candice, am I right?”
Her eyebrows rose again, and he looked at me from head to toe.
“It’s good that you still know me. I still remember you too. You’re that stupid waitress at Calixto’s bar, aren’t you?!”
I licked my lower lip and gasped frustratedly. I glanced at the stage. The band was starting to play again with Rexon and Brigette on stage. They’re singing
IT’S NOT HAVE BEEN EASY for me to get everything back to normal. After what happened at the resto-bar last Sunday, I still haven’t gotten off to a good start. Everything he said kept haunting me.After a long day, I went straight home. I was always silent at the table. Dad Gorio would often ask me about Rexon while Aunt Melva would not interfere with my personal problem.I was getting ready for bed when I heard a series of knocks on my bedroom door.“Oh, Andrew, why are you awake?”He smiled sparingly as he held in his hand the laptop that I bought for him from Singapore.“Hey, I can’t sleep yet . . . can I come in?”“Of course.” I opened the door wide and guided him to sit on the bed. He climbed up and sit next to me. He opened his laptop, and I saw him head to social media.I finally laid down on the bed and pulled out the book I had been reading for several days.“H
MY BLOOD boiled up as my cheek turned red. My lips parted in shock. “Who’s that?” Rexon’s face quickly peeked over Hannah’s shoulder while holding the wine bottle in one hand. I had to swallow hard. My heart almost died as I saw them both inside his unit. I want to regret why I even went here. “Cherry!” The astonished voice of Rexon roared me back to reality. “I-I’m sorry . . .” I quickly turned away from them and took big steps towards the elevator. “Cherry, wait!” I quickly pressed the button to the ground floor, but he was quick to step inside. “Cherry,” he said breathlessly as the elevator moved down. I could do nothing but leaned against the pillar and bowed. It was a big mistake for me to come here. He quickly approached me, placing both hands on the pillar to confine me there. He looked down and stared at me. “What are you doing here?” he asked in a hoarse voice. I couldn’t help but look at him be
I BLINKED and quickly wiped the falling tears from my eyes.“Dude? What the—” Jeff barely finished what he was supposed to say when he saw me.I glanced at Hannah, who was right next to him. She looks surprised too. She also looks back and forth at Rexon and me.“Cherry!” Jeff finally came inside, so I cleared my throat and tried to paint a smile.“We’ve been looking for you. Hannah has allegedly followed you down.” Jeff hit the elevator up to the 50th floor.It’s too late to protest because the lift is going up again.“How are you? Why are you here?” Jeff kept looking at me.I glanced at Rexon for a moment, who was now talking to Hannah on the left side of the elevator.I chose not to answer Jeff’s question so that the conversation would not continue. It’s also not healthy to talk about the issue here.The elevator was too small for me to hear
I QUICKLY LOOKED at him. It looks like he came from the shower room because of the wet hair and a different pair of clothes. I gasped as he glanced back at me. The scent he exploded all over the house makes me so damn . . . horny.“Damn, why did you guys get out so quick?!”I almost spit out the vodka I was drinking because of what Skye said.Peter kicked him from the other chair. “Shut that mouth of yours.” Peter gave him a fire look.But when I thought Peter was angry, he immediately smiled when Brigette caressed his arm.“You really have a dirty mind!” Hannah sat next to Jeff while Rexon chose to sit across the table in front of me.“Ten minutes is enough! Looks like our vocalist is looking fresh, didn’t he?” Skye continued teasing.Rexon ignored that and turned to look at me and the glass I was holding. His gaze shifted to Jeff before I saw his jaw tightened.I ignored t
I NOTICED Hannah glancing at me. So, I withdrew the glass he was holding.“I’m not yet drunk. One more shot, and I’ll go home.” I drank the glass of wine straight away and stood up at the same time, but I was so dizzy that I was able to hold his arm and stand up to support me.“I’m fine, thank you.”I broke his arm and smiled at those in front who looked up at the two of us.“Thank you, guys. I’ll go first.” I turned to Hannah, who stared at me intently.“Happy Birthday!”I noticed that she didn’t respond. Zach and Skye are nodded at me. As well as the group of Lara and Peter.“I’ll take her home,” Jeff said and starting to stand up in his chair.“Don’t bother. I can take care of her.” Rex stood up quickly, as did Hannah.“I’m coming. Maybe you can’t drive properly because you’re drunk
HE BACKED away slightly as if my words were still sewn into his mind. Until a smile flashed on his lips before shaking.“That’s never gonna happen, baby . . .” I catch the undertone of lust from his lips, and before I knew it, I was slammed up against the door.His lips bruising mine, shoving his tongue in my throat, not so gentle but more on hunger and thirsty, and here I am, kissing him back.His hand had locked itself around the nape of my neck, and the other is tracing my clavicle down to my peak.“Aaahh . . .” I breathed at him, trying to find the top.He stopped for a moment. He exhales sharply, chest rising and falling rapidly while his forehead rested on mine. ““Damn, your lips . . .”Before I could make a move, our lips clashed again. His kiss crawled up my neck further down my chest. He pulled down the strap of my dress, and he attacked my breast.My lovely mouthed open
“LET’S GET MARRIED, Cher,” he murmured softly.“What?!”I quickly got up and faced him. He straightened up, put his head on both arms, and stared at me.He looked down at me. And his lips curled a bit as he takes a look at my naked body.I quickly pulled out his comforter that was under the bed and draped it over my body.“Come on, I’ve seen all of this. You have nothing to hide.” He pulled on the comforter then hugged his arm to my stomach horizontally again next to him.“Rex!”“Hmm?” It was now pressed against my neck as his arm ran over my stomach.“I need to go. My flight is still early.”I never heard him answer. So I peeked at him at my side. I’m sure it’s not asleep yet.“I have to go. I can’t be late for my flight.”“I told you, we’re using my private plane, “ he
WHEN I GOT HOME, I went straight up to the room. After tidying up, I went downstairs. There I caught up with Dad talking to Rexon in the kitchen over coffee.“Ah, Dad, I’m sorry I didn’t come last night,” I say timidly.I noticed he glanced at Rexon before nodding.“I’m leaving, Dad, be careful. Don’t forget to take your medicine.” I hugged him tightly. It also takes a month, so I can’t get rid of my worries.“Be careful there.” He patted my back, so I hugged him even tighter.During the flight, I glanced at him from time to time. I wonder what Dad and Rexon talked about earlier while I was sorting things out?Whatever it is, I don’t want to know first. Because I knew for sure, Dad would disagree if he found out about Rexon’s offer to marry me.In the distance, I could see the reporters waiting for us to come down. I glanced at Rexon for a moment, whose atte
“FUCK, HURRY!” I exclaimed.I don’t know how many times I’ve been devalued at relish. I feel like I’m not the former Cherry who is unobtrusive and full of bodily innocence.He awakened what had long been hidden in the corner of my being- and that was lust, hunger, desire, and horniness and eroticism.He quickly stood up and pulled his fingers to my mouth. He stood up and arranged my seat over the sink.His hand gripped both my legs to open and ties in between my legs. Then he enters roughly . . .“Aahh . . .” I’m excited but based on how he did, it gives me intense heat.He is huge, he is strong and delicious . . . And that’s what I’m craving for.“Ah, fuck, you’re so tight, baby! “ He bit my ear. He added fire to our wet bodies.Tears forming at the corner of my eyes. I can’t explain how it feels. I want to cry with so much pleasure. Damn! He&r
“YOUR PARENTS?” I said without thinking.He looked up at me then raised an eyebrow. Lower the cutlery holder and gently wipe the tissue.My snout immediately tilted. Should I keep what I know a secret first?“They’re going to watch a concert.”I didn’t comment after he said that, after all, his parents came here for him and I didn’t. . .I was shaken. What was going through my mind? What do you think, Cherry, that he is going to propose to you? TSS..wake up! Don’t dream because it will surely seem vague that it will happen again. After you turned down his marriage offer then, now what will you expect?I was nervous when his parents arrive. We are here in Dawson’s suite to wait for them.Rexon and Dawson were not there because they were on the rooftop waiting for the helicopter carrying their parents to land.“Are you nervous?” I felt Lara’s palm on my shoul
I WAS UNCOMFORTABLY sitting in my seat, not because I was next to Hannah, it’s just because Rexon was staring at me the whole time.I smiled widely at him. My heart was overwhelmed with joy and happiness. I don’t care if Hannah is jealous, as long as I’m here to support my boyfriend, nothing else.“One more time, then let’s move on to another song,” Jeff said as he kicked the guitar again.“TSS . . .Rexon can’t concentrate because of you,” she said firmly.I turned to Hannah, who was now right in front of me staring. I wait for her a little second to look at me in the eyes, but she didn’t.I looked back at Rexon. Again he looked at me in his damn serious face. It seemed to be distracted by my presence. But I have no intention of leaving. What I did is to stand in my seat, saying, “Goodluck, babe!” I cheered.I saw the shock registered on his face as their co-member tease
I WAS SHOCKED by what I heard, but I still tried to smile at them.“Oh? Hannah, yeah. She’s with us. Thanks again, see you around!” I say goodbye to them.I walked fast not to return to the bungalow but to enter the barrio of San Bartolome.I’m not jealous of what I’m eating again. I just wonder why they are all here?I first entered the market where there was a lot of tourists shopping.I was wrong to think that the Island was not yet fully developed because when I entered its navel, I saw the vibrant civilization of the area there. There are already many standing café shops and several restaurants and bars in the city row.I also spotted some hotels and resorts before I reached the destination hotel. I looked up at its large, lofty yard. Maybe you need to walk a few kilometers first before you can enter the hotel entrance.I quietly entered and was amazed at its beauty and size. I was about to to
I WOKE to the chirping of a bird to be heard from the young man. I narrowed my eyes and glanced at Rexon’s bed last night. It was no longer by my side, but the smile never left my lips.It’s hard to believe what happened, but there’s only one thing I know is true. He is no longer angry at me.I pulled out the clothes that hung on the closet door and walked out the door onto the small veranda.My lips agape when I notice the Island right in front of me. The sandbar also seems to be an advantage of the Island.“Wow!” I couldn’t help but say.“You’re awake.”I turned to Rexon, who now seemed ready to tour the entire Island. He was wearing a white polo shirt and khaki shorts dyed with brown topsider shoes.He immediately hugged me from behind and kissed me on the neck.“It’s nice here, Rex,” I said softly.“You’re much more beautiful than thi
I REMAINED standing while biting my lip. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I quickly wiped them away.That’s it? Is that it? Will he not confront me for what happened, or the worst thing is to break up with me?I quietly lay down next to him and glanced at him with his head turned to the other side of the bed.I breathe out heavily. What should I do to make him lose his temper?I leaned over and examined his wide back beside me. His strong back and broad shoulders are one of the most beautiful parts of his body. I won’t get tired of staring at it and touching it when the opportunity arises.I exhale sharply, then courageously caress his back gently.“Rex?” I mumbled softly.I moved a little and just squeezed into him. I could smell his scent and the softness of his skin underneath me.“Are you asleep?” I ask in a low voice.But there was no answer from him, so I squeezed even harder into
“REX,” I say, barely more than a whisper.“I’m glad you still remember my name,” he says under his breath and kisses the base of my neck.Of course! Even though it was slightly hoarse, I knew his voice very well. Gradually my shoulder shook as I could no longer hold back the tears.Damn it, why am I still acting?“A-What are you doing here?” I ask. I wiped the tears with my hand.I’m going to face him again. I immediately swallowed and collected the remaining energy when I look up at him. Damn! Why he’s so gorgeously hot wearing his black suit? His sensuous, sexy, statuesque body shape made my heart overwhelmed with surprise.I’m too stunned to penetrate the feeling inside me. Is this how I miss him so much?“Why? Are you not happy to see me? Are you expecting someone else besides me?”I closed my eyes and shook. Wrong question, Cher.“When did
I LOOKED UP at the five-star hotel that Cindy told me about.“Are you sure this is the venue?” I asked as we walked down the hallway.“Yes, they’re in the function room.”Before we entered, she first took me to one of the suites to get dressed.I have seen some models smile at me. They are wearing the work that Cindy herself did.I looked down at the black corset dress I was wearing. Its chest contour was slightly low, so my chest almost popped out when it tightened the ribbon on my back.“Perfect!” Her wide smile commented on me.I glanced again at the models next to me, who were wearing far away from me.“Ahm, is this really what I’m going to wear? Isn’t it too sexy?” I hesitate to ask.“It’s the groom’s request. You’re the main guest tonight, so you’re great because he’ll give you a big tip to make sure.” She re
IT’S THE SECOND week of December. It’s only a few days before Christmas. Just like the weather, my heart is as cold as it is.I heard a noise from the living room because Andrew is putting up a Christmas tree. I got up and took a shower. I received a message from Ms. Cindy.“Oh, our queen is awake!” Andrew smiled broadly at me as he faced the Christmas tree.“Are you leaving again?” Aunt Melva asked.I glanced at Dad holding some garlands to attach to the Christmas tree.“Yes, Auntie, I just have an appointment today,” I say goodbye here.I stepped closer to Dad and gave him a kiss on the cheek, “I’m leaving, Dad,” I said.“Won’t you have breakfast first?”“Not anymore, maybe at the meeting.” I turned my back on them and walked out.I went to Cindy’s boutique. It’s been a while since we saw each other, so I decided
