Katherine swallowed hard, her body stiffening when she felt the look on the man's face change. Rock's dilated orbs piercing into her soul, as he looked at her like a predator after its prey. She licked her parted lips, expectation in her eyes as he suddenly leaned close to her; they were so close to the extent that she could feel his warm breath fanning her flushed face. And under her astounded eyes, he reached out and held onto her waist as he pulled her into him, cupping her cheek with his other hand while caressing it in a sensual manner. "Hm," she let out a pleasurable sound, her eyes fluttering close as she enjoyed the way her cheek was being caressed, her body responding with a burning desire, her knees getting weak.Rock smirked as he bent a little and captured her lips with his, deepening the kiss. "Hum.." Katherine whimpered. Her hands were hanging on the man's muscled and firm chest, the butterflies in her stomach fluttering relentlessly as she felt her knees
Katherine woke up with a piercing headache. She grimaced, grabbing her head, as she tried to move, but she was stopped by a heavy, warm weight cradling her.Her brows furrowed as she wondered what the cause might be, so she slowly tilted her head to the side, blinking confusedly as she saw the source; Rock's sleeping face was just an inch away from hers. It was then that the memories of last night started flooding into her head. Her cheeks instantly turned red as she shot up from the bed, almost waking the man with the force she'd used to push his arm away.She remained still, her palm on her lips and eyes wide with fear as she saw the man move. However, he just rolled onto his stomach and continued to sleep, causing her to exhale in relief. Embarrassment and regret instantly washed over Katherine the moment she saw their clothes littered around the room. She couldn't remember how they had gotten there in the first place as they were both dead drunk. The only memory she could re
Rolling onto his back, Rock grunted as his eyelids slowly fluttered open to reveal his gray orbs. He looked at the sunlight sipping through the curtains, confusion in his eyes as he tried to figure out where he was. However, he was suddenly pierced with a strong headache, causing him to lose focus. He groaned in pain, grabbing onto his head as he slowly sat up while kneading his temples. He climbed out of bed, eyes half open as he headed for the bathroom. His bladder was full and aching, and he needed to release it quickly.Upon walking back into the room, Rock furrowed his brows as something on the bed caught his attention. With a puzzled expression, he stared at the blood stain on the bed with a deep thought."What happened?" he whispered to himself, as he rushed over to the mirror to check if he was wounded anywhere. But after scanning through his body, he finally realized that the blood wasn't his, leaving him more confused and flabbergasted. He had a lot to drink yest
"I have a boyfriend!!!" Katherine squealed excitedly the moment she got into the house. It was as if she had lost her mind. "Yeah, I saw everything," Hannah replied, sipping her drink. Katherine ignored her sarcastic friend as she took a long sniff of the flower in her hand before dropping it on the table. With jubilation, she danced over to the fridge. Grabbing a can of beer, she quickly popped it open and took a swig before returning to the sitting room."How do you feel?" Hannah asked, as her eyes followed Katherine till she sat down on the couch. She silently thought there was no need to ask. She could see her friend was feeling over the moon. Katherine dropped her beer on the table, her eyes filled with excitement as she began to speak. "It feels so surreal. I'm beyond excited. Am amazed. Like I can feel different types of inexplicable emotions running through me. Am I really not dreaming?" she said, while grabbing her still muddled head with her hands. "It's real, girlfri
Rock's eyelids twitched before his eyes slowly fluttered open. He squinted his eyes, his brows furrowed as he looked around the strange room he was lying in. It didn't take long before he realized where he was. Sighing deeply, Rock slowly sat up."What the hell am I doing in a hospital?" he hissed, ripping the IV attached to his arm off with anger. He looked at his side and saw someone sleeping with their arms and head propped on the bed. No doubt it was his secretary and supposed girlfriend who had contributed to his unexpected visit to the hospital. He stared momentarily at the sleeping lady, his face deep with thought. He tried to touch her but couldn't as his hand stopped midair. He slowly retracted his hand, sadness taking over him as he wondered why things were turning out this way for him. He wished everything was just a dream, like he could forget everything and watch her sleep while he played with her beautiful gold locks till she woke up and flashed him her brig
KATHERINE"Just give him time." "Give him a little time.""Give him more time!!!"These were the words from Hannah, which had been ringing like a bell in my head for the past month. At first, these words brought comfort and hope to me. I have been calming myself down with those words while trying to understand Rock and his decision to keep ignoring me. It had been over a month already and those words had no potency in me anymore. My patient is practically exhausted. And right now, I'm a tad away from going crazy. My heart is troubled. I'm curious, anxious and worried as questions upon questions without answers keep swarming in my head each day. I haven't been able to get hold of my boss, much less have a conversation with him. He's been avoiding me, and I know it's on purpose, because each time I tried to confront him or tried to talk to him, he would use the word 'I'm busy' to push me away. He did this even when he knew that I knew he was very free, which is weird. Each day I ke
Katherine was gasping for air by the time she got to the door to the rooftop. She stood there for a moment and gathered herself as she took a deep breath before opening the door.However, the moment the door was opened a loud gasp escaped her mouth. She widened her eyes in shock, perplexed, as she gazed at the unexpected figure who was staring right back at her with his expression mirroring hers. Rock was stunned to see Katherine open the door to the rooftop. He blinked confusedly, his brows furrowed. She's the last person he expected to come up there. With speechless expression, the two just stood there, their eyes trained on each other's face.Rock felt his heart stir dangerously, all his anger disappearing for a moment as he examined her appearance. She wore a simple short black and white gown, her gold hair neatly tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were red and puffy like she'd been crying. And why is her face looking so pale? Is she sick? He wondered as he felt himself getting
KATHERINE"You did what? " Hannah screamed, causing me to flinch and silently grimace. After narrating my ordeal with my boss to Hannah, her mouth was left agape and her eyes almost bulging out from their sockets. She was shocked. When I came back home looking so dejected, I'm sure she didn't expect it would be this big of a deal. It was marriage, of all things. She blinked confusedly at me, waiting for me to throw more light on what she'd just heard. I just looked away with my lips pursed, choosing to ignore her befuddled expression. I already have enough in my mind to worry about her confused state. "Kat, you're joking, right? Don't tell me that you actually agreed to get married to your boss?""It's not a big deal, Hannah. It's not as if it's a real marriage." I shot back, shrugging my shoulders like I wasn't bothered. But deep down, I was dying with the thought of having to go through this fake marriage with my boss. "What?" I asked when she stared suspiciously at me, like
