I seductively winked myself in front of the mirror as I put my lipstick on.I happily bit my lower lip with my upper lip so the red would spread. Once satisfied with what I saw, I fixed my messy hair, tying it into a ponytail. I didn't know any other style for my hair, so this was it.It would be great if Candice were here to help me, but she wasn't. She was at her ex-boyfriend's house, trying to get him to take responsibility for something that he did that caused her trouble. She was willing to lower her pride for that guy. It was frustrating.When I was done fixing my hair, I stood up from my seat in front of the mirror. I glanced at my entire body from head to toe, unable to keep myself from smiling at how sexy and daring I looked in my outfit.I never thought that there would come a day when I would wear something like this just to seduce a guy.I was wearing a short crop top that Candice insisted I wear. At first, I protested when I saw it, but she said, "How are you going to sed
I choked on his question, and eventually looked away from him because I felt something indescribable when I looked at him. Something that I couldn't explain, but my heart started to beat strongly for an unexplainable reason.But one thing I am sure of is that he is so familiar to me. It's like I've seen him before, but I just can't remember when and how. And there's also a certain bond that I feel towards him. A bond that only the two of us can understand.I sighed deeply as I thought about it before turning my attention back to the dance floor to resume my interrupted search.I focused again on the people dancing, hoping that I would finally find the man who I've been looking for since earlier.But in the middle of my search, I was once again interrupted by the person next to me who spoke again, "Are you deaf?" he asked, which made me furrow my brows before turning to him.I gave him a questioning look which he returned with a teasing smile, "You don't want to answer, do you?" he sai
I took a deep breath before answering the daring man who asked me that question. I took a deep breath to control my temper. I might just slap this guy."No," I replied to his question. "I am here because I need to ask him some questions regarding the topic he discussed a while ago in our class," I lied. If there were an award for the best liar, I'm sure I'd get it.I'm good at making up stories and lying. Well, who would've thought I could come up with a story in just a couple of seconds?While I was calming myself down earlier, I made up a story in my head. That's the story I'm going to tell him so he'll stop asking me. He might keep asking if I don't speak up. And who knows what else he might say if I tell him the real reason, so I lied. To avoid more questions."So, you're his student?" he asked, scanning my whole body. I was slightly embarrassed, but I just shrugged it off."Not obvious, huh?" he added after looking me over. I just shook my head. How could he tell I'm a student if
Deon whispered to me. He followed my gaze towards the worm I was staring at.I saw with my own two eyes how his eyes widened when we locked eyes. As if he was surprised to see me.I also saw with my own two eyes how his Adam's apple moved up and down repeatedly. A sign that he was swallowing repeatedly upon seeing me.I also saw with my own two eyes how his face lost color as if he was about to faint.He smiled at me and I blushed. Surprised, aren't you? Surprised, sir, aren't you?I raised an eyebrow, which made him swallow hard, and I thought maybe he was afraid of me.Afraid, because I didn't know why he was doing it."Actually, no need," I suddenly said, which caught everyone's attention."What no need?" Deon asked in surprise.I stood up from my seat, and I could see how he looked at me from head to toe. Eventually, his jaw tightened, as if he didn't like my dress. I felt a little hurt, thinking that maybe I was ugly, that maybe this dress didn't suit me, and that's why he didn't
"Do you know that I've been trying not to poke the eyes of those guys who have been eyeing you since earlier?"After a long silence between us, those words were the first ones he uttered. Those words were the first ones he said. "And did you also know that you really made my dick hard because of what you did earlier, huh?" he added with a question that made me stand up straight. "Are you trying to seduce me? Hmm, honey?"I seemed to have lost myself because of his questions, only to regain my senses when I felt the embarrassment creeping up from my feet to my face. Fortunately, my face was buried in his chest, which is why he couldn't see my blushing face. If he did, I would have probably died of shame."N-No," I stuttered. Obviously, I am lying. For sure, I'll go to hell for lying.He just chuckled, "Really?" he mockingly asked. I nodded, which made him chuckle again."Do you really think that you can fool me, hmm honey?"I swallowed hard several times before nodding. Even though I
I feel a nostalgic feeling of being here again. Watching the moon while kissing the sea is such a magnificent feeling, and the cold yet fresh air is so refreshing to breathe. All of this is making me want to experience it again and again. How much I love nature."Beautiful, isn't it?" he asked, and I nodded silently.Yes, it is so beautiful. I handed him my helmet after I took it off, and he accepted it.It's my second time here, yet I feel like it's my first. The feeling of being so in love with nature.It's our second visit here, and I hope this time won't end up like the first one. I hope tonight won't end up like the last time we were here."Let's go?" he asked, and I nodded.He held my hand, and I didn't expect to feel anything when our hands touched.He was about to walk, but I stopped him and asked, "What's that?" while pointing to the thing he was carrying."This?" he asked, pointing to the thing I was referring to."A blanket."I nodded. Ahh... okay. He held my hand again bef
CHAPTER 1Home, school, and work. In the few years that I have lived in this world, my life revolves around these three things. It may be tiring and boring, but I have no choice because this is the life that God has given me.Even as a child, I was aware of the truth that I had no parents and that I needed to work hard if I wanted to have food to eat and survive in this world. At a young age, work was already a part of my life. I had to work to live.At a young age, my parents should have been the ones working for me and for our family, to provide for our daily needs and, most importantly, to send me to school.But unfortunately, I didn't have that. I didn't have parents whom I could rely on whenever I needed support. I didn't have parents who would send me to school and take care of me, so I had to work doubly hard to earn money for my education and our daily needs, together with my grandmother.At a very young age, I never had the chance to meet my father, and as for my mother? They
CHAPTER 2I have asthma, but it did not stop me from pursuing my job. In fact, I have two jobs - one in the morning and another at night after my classes.While others focus on preparing for school as soon as they wake up, I prepare for work. And while others rest and do school assignments at night, I work at a fast food chain.I know, I know that what I am doing can make me sick, especially with my asthma. But I don't have a choice. How can I provide for my daily needs if I don't work? How can I study if I don't work hard? How can we survive in this world if I don't work hard? I am the only one providing for my grandmother and myself, and I have to work doubly hard, especially since my grandmother needs maintenance medication. I work so hard that I sometimes forget to take care of myself.Life is so cruel to me. Those are the only words I can describe my life. Life or destiny is so cruel to me that at a young age, I already have to work hard. This made me think about how it feels to
