Risk It All Chapter 40.1
"Hah!" I exclaimed, satisfied, as the cold beer slipped down my throat. "This is so freaking refreshing!""Be honest with me, Brae. Have you been food and liquor-deprived for the past couple of months? Because why do you always eat and drink as if you've been so hungry and so thirsty for alcohol for years?" Caesar questioned with a chuckle."Try being a writer, and you'll know the answer to your question," I replied, my gaze fixed on the big sea in front of us and the cold wind blowing on my face. "I could even count on my fingers the nights where I had a decent sleep and a decent meal since I started writing that newly released novel of mine.""They did not give you a break?" Caesar inquired, his voice full of surprise."My break would be up to me, but I have a deadline to follow. And if I keep taking breaks, there is no way I will reach the deadline to submit my novels. So, I always choose to finish my novels first, then take a long break. But it's been a year since I have taken a l

“Are you being serious right now?” I exclaimed as Caesar pulled me towards the center of the crowd.“Yep.” He replied when he finally put a stop to pulling me, though his grip on my hand remained, not wanting me to run away, while turning his head from left and right to look at the joyous crowd around us. “Look at how everyone’s having fun by dancing and singing along.” He turned to me, a wide and happy smile spread across his face. “This is the kind of fun I want us to have.”“Since when did dancing become fun for you?” I asked with an annoyed look. “As far as I remember, you have two left feet.”“Another change.” He said while grinning from ear to ear. “Come on, stop being mad and dance!”“No.” I then tried to get out of the dancing crowd, but Caesar’s grip on my hand did not let me. I gave him a sharp stare. “Let go.”“Nope. Not letting you go. You are not going anywhere but here, dancing with me.” Caesar said while still grinning.I gritted my teeth in annoyance. “Caesar–”“No.” H

What seemed warm and bright and was striking on my face awoke me from my deep slumber.I groaned in annoyance as I tried to move around or cover my closed eyes with my hands, but for some unknown reason, my body felt heavy, so moving even for a tiny bit irritated me. And it's not only my body that is feeling heavy; so are my eyes.My eyes remained closed as my forehead knotted, and I couldn't help but groan once more.I really don't want to wake up yet, not only because of what’s going on with my body but also because I am still sleepy, and for an unknown reason again, I feel really tired even though I just woke up.But that warm and bright feeling on my face just wouldn't go away, so even if I wanted to go back to dreamland, that bright feeling wouldn't let me, forcing me to be fully awake.With a still-creased forehead, I groggily opened my eyes with my heavy hands still on top of them to serve as a shield for my eyes from something bright.My vision was blurred for a few seconds, a

"Did we use protection?" That was the first question that came out of my mouth after a long silence that enveloped me and Caesar.Caesar, who was staring at me and was about to say something after grabbing my hand and calling out my name, was dumbfounded after I dropped that question.His eyes widened, and his mouth was hanging. He has a look of disbelief on his face.“What?” He asked after a few moments of being speechless.“I'm asking you if we used protection last night.” I repeated my question.Honestly, I don't know why, out of everything I could say, I ended up dropping that question. I could have asked him to let go of my hand or that we should forget whatever happened between us, but instead, I ended up asking him whether we used protection or not. But on the other hand, I guess that was still a good question.I can't take the risk of an unwanted pregnancy.I looked at the bed and on the floor, and I immediately sighed in relief when I saw a couple of used condoms on the floor

"Brae...""I need to go to the restroom," I instantly said, not giving Caesar the chance to speak to me.It's been three days since that one-night mistake happened, and it has also been three days that I have been doing everything I can to avoid Caesar.If only it were possible, I would never want to see him again. If only I could end my vacation and just go back to work, but I can't. I have to be present at Raine and Tyler's wedding. So even though I don't want to see Caesar, I have no choice but to be around him every time Raine, Tyler, and our parents are around, acting as if nothing wrong had happened between the two of us since they knew nothing and I have no plans of telling them. But every time the two of us are left alone and he tries to strike up a conversation with me, I make any excuse not to talk to him.I don't even know what else he wants us to talk about when I already made it clear to him that I just want to forget what happened to us.

Caesar’s POV“You are one hell of a persistent bastard, aren’t you?” Tyler said as he stood beside me.I was leaning against the wall of the room that Brae and Raine were currently in. I was waiting for the room's door to open for Brae to get out so I could have the long-awaited conversation with her.This time, I won’t let her run away and avoid me anymore.“Are you aware that these past few days, you have been acting like a dog who keeps on waiting for his master to notice him? Look, you’re doing it again right now. Seriously, man. Aren’t you getting tired?”“Shut the fuck up, Tyler, and scram,” I told the annoying person beside me.

“Are you alright, Braelyn?” This sudden question from my mother caused the overflowing thoughts that are running inside my head. From staring absentmindedly at my plate and just playing with my food, I raised my head to look at my mother, who was staring back at me with a frown on her face. And my father was doing the same thing. The reactions on their faces are mixed with confusion and worry. “I am fine,” I dryly answered my mother. It was my father’s turn to ask. “Are you sure you’re fine?” I stared back at my food. “Hmm...” was my only answer in a small voice. My parents, who seemed to understand that I do not want them to pry anymore, stopped asking after that and continued to eat, though I can feel them glance at me from time to time, which made me sigh. Then I finally decided to just stop eating since I don’t have an appetite anyway. “You’re done eating?” My father asked when I stood while holding my plate. “Hmm,” I answered with a nod before proceeding to put my plate int

I was trying not to look at Caesar or pay attention to him, but I couldn't help myself, especially since the woman, who happened to be one of Tyler's cousins who had traveled all the way from the province to attend the wedding, was giggling nonstop and throwing compliments at Caesar, which sounded like her own form of flirting.One look at them, and everyone can already tell that the woman is interested in Caesar. The way she acts around him, clinging to him and never leaving his side as if she’s trying to claim her territory in case any of the women present try to flirt with Cesar, and her continuous giggling in a flirtatious manner is screaming, “I want this man, and I will have him at any cost.”As for Caesar, he seemed to not mind how the woman was acting toward him. He even seems to love the attention the woman is giving him.Is he not feeling hot or annoyed by how the woman coiled around him like a leech?If it were the high school Caesar, he definitely wouldn’t let that kind of

After reaching the park, I immediately went to the gazebo, not minding the curious stares that the people in the park were giving me because of how I was walking so fast and was frantically looking around, looking for Caesar just in case he hadn't reached the gazebo yet. Adding to that was how I looked. From my hair and make-up, down to the dress I was wearing—it all screams I just came from a wedding.It did not take me long to reach the gazebo, and just as I thought and hoped, Caesar was there, sitting on the stairs with his head down and staring at his shoes.I stopped my tracks when I was already in front of him, and with an intense gaze, I asked him in a shaky voice, "Is it true?"Caesar flinched a little before he slowly lifted his head and looked at me. "You're here," he murmured while staring at me, looking so surprised to see me in front of him.I did not pay attention to what he said and instead asked him again. "Is it true that you're leaving?"The surprise on his face was

"Are you alright?" Raine suddenly asked me, which made me flinch a little out of surprise.Looking at my own fingers, I raised my head to meet my cousin's questioning gaze. I smiled at her. "I should be the one asking you that. Are you alright? Do you not feel nervous?"Raine smiled back as she sat beside me. She was already wearing her fabulous and extravagant wedding gown, and she was done with her hair and makeup as well. She was all ready for her wedding, which was about to start in just twenty minutes."I would be lying if I'd say I am not nervous because I am. But the nervousness I am feeling cannot be compared to my excitement." Her eyes started twinkling. "I can't believe I am really getting married today! And it'll be with Tyler, which is something I have never even dreamed of before. I have always thought that the two of us would just remain as best friends. I never knew that we would end together like this."I smiled at what she said. Even I was shocked when I learned that

Shocked, surprised, bewildered, dumbfounded, flabbergasted—I could list all the adjectives I know, but they wouldn't be enough to describe how I felt.Caesar's lips are soft, and I could feel it very well. I could also feel how starving his mouth is for me to respond—from brushing my lips with his to gradually biting them, wanting me to open them and accept his tongue's fiery attacks.I don't remember anymore how long I just stayed still and let Caesar taste my lips as much as he wanted. But what I do remember is how my body reacted, gradually heating up as his hands that were on my cheeks moved to my neck, shoulders, and back before he slowly pulled me close to him to the point where I was already almost sitting on his lap.My heart, which was already beating fast, went even faster, but it wasn't because of nervousness anymore. It was because my body was slowly turning on.I clenched my hand tightly. My mind was telling me to push Caesar away, but my body did otherwise. Because inste

In front of us is the magical sight of bioluminescence plankton, which I have only seen in pictures.My eyes and mouth widened in amazement as I looked at the beautiful sight right in front of us."Oh my God! It is so beautiful!" I exclaimed in pure wonderment as I couldn't take my eyes off it."Do you want to come closer?" Caesar asked, to which I quickly answered with a repeated nod while smiling from ear to ear, causing Caesar to chuckle."Give me the bags then. I'll hold them for you," he said. And due to my excitement, I did not hesitate anymore to give him the bags I was holding. He then added, "You could also walk and swim on them if you want.""Nah. I'm not comfortable walking on them, and I think they wouldn't be comfortable with it either," I replied to him before I started walking closer to the plankton and stared at it in amazement once more.I can feel my eyes twinkling as I keep muttering the same word, 'wow'.I have never seen something as magical and enchanting as this

“Would you like to go somewhere with me tonight?” Caesar asked me, which took me aback for a little.After everything that had happened between us, that was the last question I expected him to ask. I assumed that despite our reconciliation, he would still distance himself a little from me, at least for a little while. But I guess I was wrong.Well, if he was able to be romantically involved with another woman just a few days after I rejected him, then I guess asking me to hang out is not that much of a big deal for him. And since it seems that he's okay with everything now, I don't see any reason why I should decline his invitation. This could also be a way for us to clear up even the tiniest awkwardness that will suddenly surround us from time to time, just like now. Also, it would be a good opportunity for me to ask what the real score is between him and Mara, and why did he deny that they were on a date when that was clearly what he was implying when I asked him yesterday?"Tell me

Caesar’s POV After the work-related call ended, I quickly went back to our table. My feet have been itching to get back to the three girls I was with. I was worried that the moment I left, they'd start fighting violently. I definitely doubt Brae would stoop that low, but I'm not sure about Raine, especially Mara, whom I've only recently met and am unfamiliar with her attitude. But one thing is certain about Mara: she is not the sweet and kind girl she tried to portray. The way she stared and the words she told Brae from the very first time they were introduced, I could already tell that she's trying to be someone she is not. So I can't really blame Brae for showing the same behavior to Mara. She was just letting her have a dose of her own medicine. As to why I was putting up with her, letting her get close to me as much as she could, and even accompanying her, it’s simply because I don’t want to be rude to her and also because I have a hidden agenda. This might sound cliche and som

I couldn't help but throw a couple of glances at Caesar and Mara's sides.They were sitting side by side, while I and Raine were sitting together. Mara, as usual, was being extra attentive towards Caesar again. I bet if Caesar allowed her, she would spoon-feed him.Thankfully, they haven’t gone there yet, or I might really end up throwing up all the food I ate due to disgust.“Is there a problem, Brae?” Mara asked when she suddenly looked at me and caught me stealing a glance at them. Caesar and Raine stopped eating to look at me in curiosity. “Or are you finding something funny about me to laugh at again?” Mara then added, her voice still filled with hostility directed not only towards me but only towards my Raine, who immediately turned her attention back to her food and ate again, acting as if she didn’t feel the animosity Mara has been giving the both of us.I sat straight and finally looked at her properly. I smile at her insincerely. “Look, Mara, I am sorry for offending you. I

"What are you doing here? I thought you planned to stay at home all day?" Caesar asked me, surprised but smiling. I gave Caesar a forced smile. I was suddenly confused and nervous, and my brain also seemed to go blank, which is why I couldn’t immediately come up with something to answer him. I remember telling him yesterday, after he dropped me off, that I had no intentions to leave and would simply stay at home. I also told him that Raine and I had no plans to go out, but now he saw me in the same mall as he and Mara, who were out on a date. I was still trying to construct a lie when Raine came to my rescue. "Ahm, hi, Caesar? I'm here if you haven't noticed." Caesar was surprised again, and it wasn't until then that he looked at Raine. He appeared to have just noticed Raine was with me. "Oh, Raine!" He exclaimed, startled. "I didn't recognize you." Raine lifted an eyebrow. "You noticed Brae even though we were both wrapped up, but you failed to recognize me? It's not very obvio

"Ahm, can you remind me again why we are doing this?" Raine asked me as we were secretly looking at Mara and Caesar, who were inside a boutique, looking at clothes while having a conversation with smiles on their faces.We are currently in a mall, sitting near the escalator and only a few steps away from the boutique where Caesar and Mara are."We are just purely doing this out of curiosity." I answered her in a weak voice without even looking at her because I didn't really separate my gaze from the two.Raine lifted one of her eyebrows as she stared at me. "We? You mean to say: out of your own curiosity?" She snarled before adding, "And we're not really sure if we're really just doing this because you're curious."I was still staring at Caesar and Mara when I answered Raine. "Be quiet, Mara. I didn't force you to come with me. You're the one who insists on coming because you just want to catch gossip.""Hey, that's such a mean thing to say. What are you saying that I just want to cat
