“Well… I currently have a problem with my accommodation.” I started as I stood up from my bed and walked to the kitchen. “I just suddenly got evicted, so I’m currently looking for a new place to stay. It might take some time for me to settle down, like one to two weeks, so I just wanted to inform you that I won’t be starting your dress immediately. I hope you’re fine with that.” ‘Please let her be chill about it. Please, please, please.’ I begged, crossing my fingers as I stepped into the kitchen. “That’s messed up. Does your landlord have the right to kick you out like that? You should get a lawyer.” Bianca scowled, and my lips tipped to a strained smile. A lawyer? With what money? How could I afford a lawyer if I barely had money to feed? “It’s a really long story, and my friend and I have always wanted to move but never did. This was like the push we needed.” I lied as I pulled out a cup from the cupboard. We, no, I, never planned on moving until I had enough money to rent a b

‘The restaurant was just as I had seen on the internet. Thank heavens I dressed well.’ I thought, smoothing the nonexistent crease in my dress as the waiter led me to a reserved table. The place is not too fancy, and my simple, semiformal dress made me blend in.‘I don’t get it. Why does Sebastian Warner want to see? Is it about his sister’s wedding?’That question had run through my mind probably a million times since he called me the previous morning, but I still hadn’t gotten the answer. He hadn’t mentioned why and only asked we met at a restaurant, leaving me guessing. He had absolutely no business with me.The only reasonable conclusion I could come up with was he wanted to talk about Bianca’s wedding, but that didn’t just feel right.“Hello, Aurora.” Sebastian said as I approached his table, standing on to his feet and giving me one of his blindingly handsome smiles. ‘Gosh, why did my name sound so smooth on his lips? Like velvet. Ugh, don’t think weird things.’ I scolded mysel

“Wait! Did I say anything to make you mad?” Sebastian asked, grabbing my hand as I tried to leave.“Did you seriously think I wouldn’t get what you meant, or did you think I would be so low as to be interested?” I turned back to him, wearing a nasty scowl.I knew it; I knew there was a catch somewhere, and he just threw it at me.“What I meant? What are you talking about? He gawked at me, staring at me with wide eyes, and his scowl deepened. How dare he try to play innocent after he said that? Did he think I wouldn’t get the innuendo?“Really? You’re acting like you don’t know?” I glowered, yanking my hand away. “You’re lonely, and you want me to keep you company to spice your apartment up? Do you think I’m dumb that I don’t know that involves your bed?”“What!” He gasped as he stood to his feet and gaped at me like I had gone crazy. “That isn’t what I mean! It seems you misunderstood everything. You’re beautiful but that doesn’t mean I want to take advantage of you. I’m not low.”“Yo

'I can do this. I can call him.' I told myself as my fingers hovered over Sebastian's contact ID, yet somehow, it refused to tap it. 'Call him. Just call him. It's not that hard. It's not— ugh!'I dropped the phone on the bed and pressed my fingers to my temple as I paced up and down the small room. 'How hard is it to apologize? Just say you're sorry and ask if his offer is still available.'That was the difficult part. Apologizing for jumping to conclusions wasn't hard, but swallowing my pride to tell him I was considering his help was... was.... difficult. I didn't want to seem like a charity project to a man like him, but I needed the help. I stopped in my tracks and stared at Tiffany, who was curled under the duvet, snuggling with her stuffed bear.'Do this for her. This is for Tiffany. You can't afford to jeopardize her health and well-being because you can't accept help.' I sighed as I sat on the bed. My fingers brushed some strands of her hair off her face, and my lips curl

“It’s good to see you again.” Sebastian said as I shut the door of the car and put on my seat belt. “Hello, it’s good to see you too.” I replied, giving him a forced polite smile as he drove off. It was just the two of us; all the times we met, there was always someone with us. It was the first time we were actually… alone. And so close. His presence was so intimidating yet alluring. It was like he commanded whatever space he was in without even thinking and not in a mean, arrogant way. But there was something about him… ‘Ugh, I blame Dorothy for making me so nervous. She got the word date stuck in my brain, and now it’s making me feel like it is. And I’m sure she’ll have a field day if I told her this.’ I thought, squirming in my seat and imagining more space between us. From the corner of my eye, I watched him. His gaze was fixed on the road, and he was the opposite of me, completely relaxed like he was chatting with an old friend. “How’s Tiffany? Has she been getting bette

“I have to increase it?” Sebastian mused, raising his brow. “Why? I thought you would be happy. You wanted something cheap, so I offered you something cheap.”“I know you’re trying to help me, and I thank you so much, but this is too much. Three fifty is too small, way too small. I’m literally robbing you if I paid that.” I explained as I ran my hand through my hair. A part of me yelled that I should shut up, smile, and ask him where I signed the contract. After all, we had already discussed everything else, and I was fine with all the agreement. All that was left was for me to pay and move in.But three fifty per month! That was absolutely crazy! When I said I wanted something cheap, I didn’t expect it to be that cheap. His help was crazy.“You’re really amusing, Miss Nigel.” He chuckled, tilting his head to the side, and stared at me like I had done something comical. “What if I had offered you the place for free? What would you have done?”“I won’t be here in the first place. I’m

That took an unexpected turn."Someone that saved your life? How? When? What happened?" I queried, furrowing my brows. "It was some time ago, but that's a story for another day." Sebastian said as he let go of my hair. "I'm helping you this much as a way to repay her kindness and because I know it will make her really happy if she finds out.""Oh," I muttered as he walked to the elevator, and I followed.'It makes sense now. He's doing this much for me because of her. I completely understand, but still, it's still so sweet of him that he decided to trust and help a complete stranger because it would make her happy. But does it mean he's no longer in touch with her?’"You talk like you aren't in touch with her." I said as we entered the elevator."It's quite complicated. She’s so close yet so far." He replied as he pressed the button of the last floor.'That doesn't make sense. How can a person be so close yet so far at the same time? I mused, twisting my lips. 'Is that she doesn't wa

“Tiffany!” I gasped, reaching out for Tiffany, but Sebastian scooped her up in his arms.“Tiffany? Are you ok?” He fretted, and I took her from him.“It’s okay. It’s okay.” I cooed, cradling her to my chest as her entire body relaxed.“We need to go to the hospital now! She—”“She’s fine. Don’t worry. She just used a lot of her energy.” I told Sebastian as Tiffany snuggled into my chest, clinging to my clothes like it would relieve her of all the pain.“How? She was completely fine some seconds ago, and now she’s in pain!” He exclaimed, confusion glowing in his eyes.“I promise you she’s fine. If we needed to go to the hospital, I wouldn’t be here having this conversation. It’s just that since she’s still recovering from her surgery, she can’t play or move as she formerly did. She’ll be back in a few minutes.” I assured him and gave him a small smile. I understood his worry far more than he did. It wasn’t nice seeing my child struggle with her health while I couldn’t do anything. I j

"Oh, Tiffany." I sighed, scooping her into my arms and lifting her up off the ground. Tiffany sniffled, pouting as small drops of tears ran down her face."Um... y-you don't have to cry. I won't be gone for long. You won't even know I left." Sebastian stuttered, startled by her sudden outburst but trying his best to calm her down."B-but I don't want you to go. Is it be... because I l-laughed at your pancakes? I-I'm sorry. I won’t do it again." She sobbed, stretching her arms to him.I wasn't even surprised that she was able to draw such a wild conclusion. And I couldn't judge her, or wouldn't that be hypocritical? In just the few days of meeting Sebastian, we've had up to three misunderstandings because I thought he meant something that he didn't. It was almost like she was copying me. Like mother, like daughter. That was bad. I had to change that behaviour in me and her so she wouldn't have issues with people."No, it's not that. I'm not angry at you because of that. You were righ

'Is that...' My nose twitched, and I took in a deep breath. The aroma of pancakes filled my nose, and I let it out with a big smile on my face. 'Um... pancakes.'I rolled to my side and my eyes fluttered open. My brows scrunched, and I sat up.'I'm in my room?' I blinked, rubbing my eyes as if that would change the scene around. No, it didn't. I was in my room and on my bed.'How? I don't remember going to bed. I was in my studio, then I dozed off and... and...' My eyes widened and my hands flew to my mouth. 'I remember Sebastian waking me up, and he... he... That wasn't a dream?! Sebastian carried me to bed?!'My entire face turned bright red, and I fell back into the bed, burying my head under my pillow.'Sebastian carried me to bed?! And I stroked his cheek. I stroked his cheek?! I thought it was a dream, but it wasn't! I did it in real life. And I called him handsome! Handsome! Ahh! How am I going to face him now?! I feel so stupid!' I squealed into my hands, and I pressed my leg

'Another peck?!' I thought as my face flared. 'Is giving random pecks going to be a thing now? It's not that I mind if he continues to, though... it's very nice. Bruno... never showed such affection to me. Bruno never even touched me unless... he... I can't think of that now.'"Um... Thank you." I squeaked, as my stomach did backflips, and I gave his shoulder a soft shove. His arms slipped off my waist, and I bit my inner cheeks, stopping my lips from flipping to frown. Maybe I should have let him hold me a little bit longer."Did you just come back, or have you been home for a while? What's the time anyway?" I asked, stepping away from him and pulling out my phone from my shorts' pocket."I just came back. I was going to my room when I saw your door open and you dozing off on your desk. Shouldn't you be in bed? It's quite late." He said as his eyes scanned across my desk covered with papers, notebooks, pens, and whatever other knickknacks I needed to get inspiration."It's almost two

'What the heck did I just say? Gosh, I feel so stupid. Please let the ground open and swallow me because it would be the perfect thing to happen right now. Why did that come out of nowhere?' I screeched in my head."What? You want to know if I find you attractive?" Sebastian blinked, confusion laced in his gaze and face."Forget about that. Just forget it. It was another of the crazy ideas my friend pumped into me and my daughter. She said you said this morning because you find me attractive, which is crazy, right? I mean, you obviously don't." I rambled, cringing at every word I said. What the hell was wrong with me?"Can you give me a few seconds to calm my nerves?" I asked as I pressed my finger to my temple, massaging it."Ok," Sebastian nodded, not at all offended by my crazy act some moments ago.'I can do this. Just apologise and confess that I have trust issues that I have to work on. Easy peasy.' I drew in a large breath and sighed."About our conversation this morning..." I

"You're kidding me, aren't you?" I said, my voice as blank as a piece of plain sheet. And she said I was jumping to conclusions. How had she come up with such a crazy thought out of nowhere?"Oh come on, you're not a child. I could literally touch the chemistry between the two of you the time he came to our house. Sheesh, it was so intense. It's so obvious he finds you attractive." Dorothy squealed, and I rolled my eyes so hard that they almost rolled out of my head. Yup, she was out of her mind."You're crazy. How can you say that? How did you come up with that explanation from the story I told? Please stop joking. This is really important." I scolded.Maybe another day I would have laughed and playfully told her to stop, but I was in no mood. I was in crisis. There was no time to giggle about crushes like we were in high school."I heard what you said, and I can swear that he has the hots for you. I'm sure that's the ulterior motive he meant. He just wants to use this opportunity to

"Where's Mr. Movie Star? I looked for him everywhere, but it looks like he disappeared, poof!" Tiffany wondered as she walked into the kitchen, peering around the room like he was going to pop up out of thin air.'I hope that nickname isn't going to stick around.' I pressed my lips into a thin line as I poured waffle batter into the waffle iron."Sebastian has gone out." I replied, closing it and letting it do its thing."Out? Out where?" She asked, rushing to my side. "Is that waffles? Uhm, I love waffles.""Yes, you do." I grinned, dropping the bowl of waffle batter and turning to her. "And Sebastian has gone to work.""Work? Why does he need to go out to work? You and Dorothy always work at home. Why can't he do that?" She furrowed her brows, and I could almost see the gears in her small brain spinning.I couldn't really fault her for being confused. Dorothy's job didn't require her stepping out of the house. As long as she had her laptop and good wifi, she was good to go. I didn't

'No, this isn't happening. I'm dreaming. I'm still in my room, snuggled under my duvet and having this almost realistic dream.' I told myself as my wide amber eyes stared into blue ones. But it wasn't. It wasn't a dream.Sebastian was standing right in front of me, making my legs tremble under my weight and my stomach full of weird fluttering feelings."I... You... Um..." I stuttered, unable to make a single word. How was I supposed to make a single simple sentence when his finger was stroking my cheek, scrambling my brain?"You mean a lot more to me than you know." He muttered, resting his forehead against mine, and my already banging heart raced faster."H-how?" I breathed, and I would have patted myself on the back for being able to form a single word, but I was too hypnotised by whatever he was doing to me."That's for me to know and for you to find out." He replied, closing the already almost invincible gap between us and trapping me between the kitchen counter and his large body

'Sebastian kissed my cheek!' My heart rate sped up, and a soft pink colour rushed to my face. "I... um... whoa, look at the time. It's, um... quite late, and, um, how did I not know I was, um... yawn sleepy? I'm so sleepy." I blurted, giving a quite dramatic yawn and pressing my hand to my mouth. I jumped up to my feet, and he moved just in time before I knocked him down. "The moving in must have drained more of my energy than I thought. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight!" I yelled, and I ran to my room. 'Sebastian kissed my cheek! I can't believe he did that! I cannot believe he did that!' I squealed in my mind as I slammed my door shut and leaned against it. I placed my finger on the spot he had kissed, and my face turned redder. 'And it was close to my lips. If I or any of us had moved an inch, he would have... Sebastian would have kissed me on the... No! What am I thinking?' I shook my head, clearing away the crazy thoughts. "I shouldn't be thinking those kinds of thoughts.

Sebastian and I were close, so close that my nose twitched at the soft fragrance of detergent on his tank top. My legs were pressed against his, and his skin touching mine sent tingles running through me. His hand was still holding my wrist, and I yanked it out."What was that for?" I frowned, scooting to the other end of the sofa and crossing my arms over my chest.'He could have told me instead of grabbing me. What if I had fallen on his lap? No, I shouldn't think of that. It's too weird and awkward to even think of that.'"I'm sorry, but I didn't want you to leave without saying what was on your mind." Sebastian apologised, turning a little bit to look at me. "So what do you want to tell me?""Oh," I mumbled and dropped my arms. "I just wanted to apologise about Tiffany today. I know you most likely wanted to rest after a long day at work, and she didn't even let you come into the house before jumping on you. It wasn't right, and I'm really sorry it happened. I promise I'll talk t
