Chapter 8

Our conversation with Arden continued as we played in the pool. He shared stories about his friendship with Amberine, and I could tell how much he cared for her. It made me realize that I couldn't take her feelings lightly.

"I promise you, Arden, I won't play with her emotions," I assured him sincerely. "I care about her too, and I want to make her happy. I won't do anything to hurt her."

Arden nodded, his expression softening. "Good. She deserves someone who will treat her right, someone who will love her unconditionally. If that's you, then I trust you to take care of her."

The weight of Arden's words sank in, and I felt a sense of responsibility towards Amberine. I knew that she had been hurt in the past, and I wanted to be the one who would mend her broken heart.

The following morning, I picked up Amberine and we headed to work together. It felt natural having her by my side, and we enjoyed each other's company during the car ride. We talked, laughed, and shared stories

    Chapter 9But you know what, I'm still happy somehow because I apparently affect Amberine's emotions even though we don't spend time together or talk anymore. So, it means she's feeling something for me now.All I have to do is make her admit to me that she loves me too. Yes. She loves me too because I love her. Zayn and Arden, whom I was surprised to see, got out of my car."Hey idiots! Do you want to see Amber over there?" I was about to say something, but Arden called Amberine. Fuck! What did these guys do?The plan was for them to accompany me here to watch Amberine, find out what she's been up to, and see if there are other guys hovering around her that I don't know about.Amberine turned her head and gave Arden a small and fake smile. I sigh. This is all my fault. I led Amberine on, that's why she's sad now. Amberine approached their small gate, barely reaching her waist."Arden... what are you guys doing here?" Then her gaze shifted to Zayn.Damn it! I got jealous when she smil

    Chapter 10"Son, Aiden, what's happening to you? You weren't like this before, what happened that you suddenly changed?" Mommy asked me. It was another night when I came home drunk.Well, I get drunk every night anyway. Work in the morning, get wasted at night until I crawl my way back home."And why didn't you go to Amber and Arden's wedding earlier? Amber is really beautiful with her wedding gown, it's a shame you didn't see it, and they are so sweet. Many people were saying earlier that they're a perfect couple, and everyone was saying that having a child would complete their perfect family.""Bullshit, Mom! Enough! I don't care about that goddamn wedding! Enough of that shit! I am not interested!" I didn't wait for Mom's response and went straight to my room. I hate talking back to Mom because I love and respect her so much, but I can't help it, especially when Amberine and Arden are the topic."Woah! Really, bro? You're moving next door? That's cool, at least we're neighbors," Ar

    Chapter 11I didn't expect Aiden to explain to me why he knew how to mix drinks. I was more used to him being quiet, with one question and one answer, but now..."I accidentally watched a video on YouTube about mixing cocktail drinks, and it looked interesting. The more I watched videos, the more I got interested in mixing alcohol drinks. Until I couldn't stop myself anymore, and I tried to mix a drink. From mixing one drink, it became two, until mixing drinks became my hobby." That's the longest sentence I've heard from Aiden in the entire duration that we've known each other.His voice sounds sweet, yet masculine and appealing, that I feel like I'm hypnotized. I even thought that whatever he says now, I have no option but to agree, and the only available answer for all his questions is a yes. Is that possible? His voice feels comforting and nice as he speaks, that I can't help but give my full attention to him.Suddenly, I wondered if Aiden is this talkative when he is alone with Ar

    Chapter 12"Arden—" But before I could continue what I was about to say, he pressed his lips against mine. My eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, because I couldn't believe that Aiden was actually kissing me!In my surprise, my mouth fell open, and Aiden took the opportunity to slip his tongue inside. "Hmmp," I moaned and tightly grasped his shirt with both of my hands."I think you're hot," he added, kissing my cheeks and then moving down to my neck. His kisses lingered for a while, and I could feel his gentle bites on my skin.One by one, Aiden unbuttoned the buttons of my pajama top, gradually exposing my skin and revealing my bra."Hmm, sexy," Aiden remarked, and I assisted him in removing my top. His kisses descended down to the center of my chest."Hmm..." The water still felt cold as it poured over us, but I could feel my body gradually warming up.Aiden's kisses continued, raining down on my shoulder, my neck, and then back to my lips. This time, I kissed him ba

    Chapter 13"Amber..." Suddenly, I turned to Mommy when she called my name out of the blue. Just a while ago, Mommy and Daddy were busy discussing Kuya Blue's sudden wedding. Now, they were focused on me."Yes, Mom?""We have a long weekend next week, so you don't have school on Friday." I nodded in response to Mommy's statement."Perfect! Tita Mikan and I are planning a weekend getaway." My eyes widened with excitement as I imagined the azure sea."For the last time, we're going to visit our beach house in Aguascalientes." Okay, I was excited about the part where we would spend the long weekend in Aguascalientes with the Monteverde family, but I couldn't understand why Mommy said it would be the last time we would visit the beach house."Mom, why is it the last time?" I asked Mommy, feeling confused. She smiled at me and then looked at Daddy. I shifted my gaze between the two of them, waiting for an answer. Finally, Mommy let out a sigh."Darling, your Daddy and I have decided to sell

    Chapter 14"Schnittka, are you listening?" Our teacher asked me grumpily. He's known to be strict and irritable because he never got married.I blinked several times because every time I looked, his gaze seemed to pierce through me, as if his eyes were shooting erasers at me.There were white specks flying in the air from the chalk erasers. If one of those hit my face, not only my face but also my hair would turn white!I kept my eyes closed tightly and used my hands as a shield to protect myself from the chalk dust, but minutes passed and no eraser hit me.I've been hearing my classmates searching, especially the girls. What's happening? So, I slowly opened my eyes, and there were no erasers flying towards me. Where did the eraser go?Wait a minute. I noticed earlier that my classmates weren't paying attention to me but were focused on Aiden, who was sitting next to me. So, I slowly turned to him and my eyes widened when I saw that Aiden was holding the eraser that our teacher threw

    Chapter 15"Maybe you'll become interested in this! Our plan is that since you're good at mixing drinks, you'll be the bartender at the coffee shop we'll set up on the balcony of Amber's beach house. We'll set up a bar counter outside the beach house so customers can see you. We'll also put up beach umbrellas, tables, and chairs, trash bins for customers. You'll attract customers because you have a strong appeal, especially to girls. And Amber and I will serve food and drinks, and since we're at the beach house, we'll make it more unique and have a twist. I'll wear a summer outfit while wearing an apron as my café uniform, and Amber will wear a bikini and an apron!"My eyes widened at what Arden said because we didn't discuss the uniform earlier! When I looked at the rearview mirror again, I saw Aiden looking at me with an angry expression! Why does it seem like he's angry at me now? I didn't do anything! I didn't even have an idea about Arden's uniform suggestion!"No one will wear a

    Chapter 16"Before we start the lesson, let's check the attendance first. Let's start with the girls." I breathed a sigh of relief because at least the girls were called first, and since their last names are in the letter M, there's still a chance that Aiden won't be late if he arrives anytime soon."Arden, where's Aiden?" Jessica asked again, but she whispered it because our seats are close to each other. Arden subtly looked at Jessica to answer."I don't know, but he left home early earlier." Where could he have gone? I wondered to myself. I couldn't ask Arden for more details about Aiden because first of all, Arden doesn't know that Aiden and I aren't that close, and he'll surely wonder why I suddenly became interested in Aiden's whereabouts.I don't want him to think that I have a crush on Aiden because I don't. It won't happen. I won't develop feelings for Aiden, I'm sure of it. Urgh! Wait, why am I explaining this to myself, and how did it turn into a conversation about having f

It felt like they were scolding Aria and me, or maybe it was just me, since they knew Aria's side."So why are we here?" I changed the topic. I want all of this to end so I can look for Kylie and Jiro. Who knows what they've done already. Fuck!"I want, rather we want, you and Aria to get married tonight." This time it's Daddy who spoke."What?!" I felt like my soul wanted to leave my body at what Daddy said."But Aria is not Tita Celine's daughter! If you want our families to become one, why don't you just marry me and Kylie?!""Kent, please, don't make this complicated! I love you, that's all that matters.""Stop being so desperate, Aria!

    Special Chapter 5Every fvcking time she says that she's lifeless without Jiro, I want to shut her up. Shut her up until her lips are sore from my kisses, so she has no choice but to stay silent. It's so fvcking irritating! Especially when we both know that Jiro is cheating on her, and the worst part?! He's cheating on her with her step-sister!Sometimes, I even want to knock some sense into her head and make her realize that she doesn't really love Jiro. D amn! She's only fvcking blinded by her thoughts! Thoughts of being a hopeless romantic because Jiro is her first boyfriend. The guy who taught her how to love. Her first love, and now she hopes that Jiro will be her last too.But no, that will never fvcking happen. I love Kylie from the start, and she doesn't deserve Jiro at all. She doesn't deserve the pain and betrayal. I don't know Jiro's reason for doing all of this, but I'm sure Aria's reason is all about envy and jealousy.Aria was left behind.

Two weeks before we left for the USA, Kuya introduced me to her, even though I had been pestering him about her for a long time. Kuya was busy with school since he was graduating, and Kylie found out that she's only four years older than me. "See you soon, bro," Kuya said to me and gave me a hug.He moved away from me and answered a call on his phone, and when I looked at him, he was already in front of the van, talking to Mom. I sighed, took a few steps back so that what I was about to say to him wouldn't be overheard, and spoke to Kylie again."It's okay... don't cry there, I'll come back." I heard her continuous sobbing, and then she answered me."I'll miss you so much! I forgot that you're leaving today, it's Sam's birthday yesterday. I'm sorry..." And she started sobbing again."Kylie...""Kent...""Why are you crying there? I'll come back!" 'And when I come back, I'll make sure

And here you are!" I didn't respond to her. "We were worried about you. You didn't go to school today because they thought you couldn't breathe properly this morning, and they assumed you were just in your room."I didn't answer again. "Are you feeling alright? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" He asked me gently."Why do you care?" I answered him coldly. I caught the fall of his face and the sadness in his eyes, I just looked away to get rid of the guilt I feel."It's not?! You're really my crush Baby Kent? Wee! You're going through puberty!" OA said Kylie.I made him suffer. It's the first Saturday of June and our first vacation.

Wow!Earlier, I was focused on the anime, but now I can't seem to take my eyes off Kylie. I wonder where she lives? Could I ask Kuya to take me along when he visits her? Surely Kuya won't suspect that I want to see his girlfriend in person, right?Besides, I'm still young. It's probably just a crush, and I'm not going to snatch his girlfriend away from him. But she's older than me! Kuya is four years older than me, so if Kylie is his age, she's also four years older than me.Would a guy like someone younger than him?

I asked, and as usual, a strong gust of wind was the response. I smiled as I reached for a pack of cigarettes in my pocket. I lit one and looked up at the clear blue sky."You know what, it's going to be a very long day for all of us. I really wish you were here with us. It's their wedding day, and I'm one of their best men..." There was no emotion in my voice as I spoke to her."I'm sure you're watching me right now, so... Do I look good in this suit and tie?" I took another puff of my cigarette."I hope so." I glanced at my wristwatch. "I'm sorry, but I need to go or I'll be late." I stood up and walked away from her grave.This is it! There's no turning back. I told myself as I looked at everyone. They were all busy with the wedding, and it was about to start any minute."I've been looking for yo

    EndingI didn't know what to say to Aiden. I was happy and hurting at the same time. Happy because I could feel and hear Aiden's endless love for me, and hurting because I needed to be with Arden."I'm sorry, Aiden, you can't change my mind. Arden... Arden needs me more than you do."When I looked at the left side of my body, I noticed there was a cast from my fingers down to my arm. That's why I was in so much pain earlier; I had broken a bone! What's going to happen now? How am I going to go to school? How will I manage my daily routine with a broken left hand? And I'm left-handed!"But when I received Mia's call, I also left the site immediately to see you," Ero said without pause."This is nothing... just a small accident," I replied. I noticed Ero's eyebrows furrow and a hint of annoyance in his response, as if he was about to explode in anger."If it was just a small accident, why are you here in the hospital? Have you seen your hand? Why is it in a cast? Why didn't Manang Ameli

It seemed like he was just buying toys.The only thing I remember was wearing a party dress and going to Baby Trigger's hotel. I drank wine, but I didn't like the taste. It was because of my annoyance towards the two women - urgh! I shouldn't have let their insults affect me, they weren't true anyway!Then it was my turn to be interviewed by Baby Trigger. My eyes widened when I remembered what he asked me and what I did. I swallowed hard, sat down on the spot, and covered myself with a blanket."I just took off my clothes in front of him, and he saw my chest. It was like an automatic reaction for me to cover my chest. I could feel the warmth on my cheeks, ears, and neck as I remembered my reaction to his massage on my chest. His lower lip dropped, and I could still feel his hand on my chest, massaging it even now.Is my contract with Mr. Steinfield? Does that mean I'm the one chosen b

Ero asked irritably as he took hold of my hand, which was tugging at my hair, and held it in his own."I really can't remember!" I complained in frustration. He tightened his grip on my waist, pulling me closer to him."Let's not dwell on it because what happened last night isn't that important," Ero said mischievously."What happened? Why don't you want to tell me?!" I asked inquisitively before the waiter arrived. He brought finger foods, fries, and nachos. He also brought a bottle of whiskey and..."Put the shake here," Ero instructed the waiter, who nodded and promptly placed the shake in front of me."Thanks," I said to the waiter, smiling at him. "You're welcome, ma'am," he replied with a smile before leaving. I felt Ero's hand tighten around my waist as he leaned closer to me."What did you order?" I immediately asked him as soon as the waiter left. He raised an eyebrow."Whiskey for me and a strawberry sh
