Raviora's Point of View I spent the whole day in this hotel room by myself while the others were outside. They knew precisely I was unable to get away and really took a look at all the conceivable ways to get out.Gradually, I opened my eyes sluggishly. A person in the glass window is whom I saw when I woke up. Based on his body, figure and clothes, it was Adam. My eyes went to the wall clock. It’s already midnight! Three AM specifically. “Was it still my problem?” He said calmly, but the roughness in his voice was still there. “Then do whatever it takes to catch him!” He hissed, almost a shout. Adam is obviously talking to someone over the phone. From here, I can see him leaning on the half closed glass door. I saw how frustrated he was from here in our bed. He massaged his temple and turned around, seeing me awake and looking at him as well while having holding his phone in his right hand. Gradually, our eyes met. He locked his gazes to mine and stopped. As if I shocked him by
Raviora's Point of ViewWearing a fitted cropped top and shorts, Adam and I went down together. Leon wasn’t around as well as Maxwell. Adam initiated that we should have our brunch in the said restaurant downstairs. I wandered my eyes around when both of us immediately found our designated seats. They placed the classic chandelier in the middle of the restaurant. Few employees were looking at us and smiling, so I did the same. Waitressing is what I've worked for before and it’s common for me to smile at whoever sees me. A waitress is the one who serves our food. When our eyes met, he smiled at me, so I did. “I’ll follow up the others, ma’am. Because our chef is just preparing some of your orders. It may take another 5 to 10 minutes again.” He informed me. He genuinely grinned at him, “No, it’s fine. We don’t mind.”“Alright, ma’am. Thanks!” Right after the waitress left, I saw how his gazes followed him. My forehead creased because of his reaction. “What? Have you already develo
Raviora's Point of ViewMy reflection fascinates me. Earlier in the afternoon, Maxwell provided me with things I needed, such as accessories and make-ups. Good thing Tori and Kelly taught me how to use make-ups. Tho, I don’t really need one. My lips are naturally pink as well as my cheeks. I put a little make-up on. I’ll turn into a clown if I do so. Make-ups aren’t really necessary for me. Just the lip gloss and foundation are enough. Slowly, Adam came inside our hotel room wearing his three-piece suit. The way his wet hair became more clean makes him even more attractive. Adam’s face was clean, seeing his beard was gone. His sharp jaw is now visible! I haven’t asked Adam about his nationality but as far as I can see; he looks half European and... Asian. Italian and Filipino, precisely. Oh well, just my assumption. “Done checking me out?” He asked sarcastically. I stood up in front of the mirror and looked at him. My lips have their own brain and form into a pout. “How do I loo
Raviora's Point of ViewI went out from that library slash house to give them privacy. The corridor is dark, but the good thing is, Leon was there. I thought he wouldn’t tell me where the party was being held, but was surprised when he did. Tho, there’s still a doubt flashed on her face. The full moon gives me enough light to get mesmerized by the entire area. From here, I can see people chatting and hear their laughs a bit. The venue was in the backyard in which a small pond was. I suddenly remember the strong fascination I had with the moon. When I was just still a child, I always looked up and wondered why the moon is following me, why my shadow is stuck to mine. But over time, I realized how stupid I am. I snorted while appreciating the moon. I’ve been here for over 30 minutes already and this part of the venue is already on my list. The wind blew. My long off shoulder gown hugged my body tight. It blew my hair, making me chuckle a bit. But my enjoyment was cut off when a blac
Raviora's Point of ViewRubbing my eyes in the morning is the first thing I do when I wake up. I slept well despite how horrendous yesterday was. Adam is no longer beside me. There’s no sign of him in the entire hotel room. I went directly to the bathroom and squirmed when I found out I have no bras on. My lips are pale and the black circles under my eyes are pretty visible. I looked at myself in the mirror before sighing heavily. I went out of the bathroom and went directly to my towel, which was placed above the table. “You can grab your breakfast here, Miss.” I jolted when I heard Maxwell’s voice from behind. He’s standing behind near the door wearing his complete black suit. “Oh my God!” I said, looking so annoyed. Maxwell stood up firmly before bowing his head a bit. “Apologies for startling you, Miss Raviora.” My heart came back to its normal phase. I looked away awkwardly because of his gestures he just showed me. Slowly, I wrapped my towel around my body before nodding.
Raviora's Point of ViewAdam folded his long sleeves up to his elbow. The veins on his arms protrude while his both arms are on his hips, looking at me impatiently. My face's appearance changed, giving him the gentlest and arguing look. “I just want to see them, nothing else.” I tried persuading him. The authority in his eyes is still there. He didn’t say anything and remained quiet. I looked away at how his ardent gazes tried to look directly at my hand. Argh! I just want to see them. Isn’t it allowed as well? Before Adam turned his back again, I slowly moved forward as I wrapped my hands around his neck. This position made me anxious. His dark eyes remained the same while his hands were still on his hips. I smiled sweetly and tried to coax Adam. “Please?” I said, utilizing the gentlest voice I have. “Hmm? I’ll just want to see my friends. I won’t tell them about you and your stuff.” Adam’s eyes went to my lips before looking directly into my eyes again. It might be the crazie
Raviora’s Point of View“Oh wow! Raviora is your name?” She said, using her amused tone. We’ve been talking for hours now, yet we still don’t know each other’s name. Maybe because the two of us were distracted by each other and forgot to introduce ourselves, except for Tili, her daughter. Tili, on the other hand, looked at her mom innocently. “Raviora?” she asked, using her cute little voice. I chuckled before caressing her head slowly and nodded. “Yes. It’s my name, Tili.” “Raviora is the name of my fish!” she giggled. “Really? Is that the reason you called me a mermaid?” I jokingly said. The three of us chuckled. My eyes went to the two whose facial expressions remained the same, cold and serious ones. I sighed heavily before nodding at them.“I’ll catch up with you inside.” I assured them. Leon and Maxwell looked at each other. Leon remained his eyes on me for a second before sighing heavily and nodded his head. And in a blink of an eye, both of them vanished in front of us.
Raviora's Point of ViewTili clapped her hands before nodding. “Yes!” Emiliana, on the other hand, looked at me. “Are you single, Emiliana?” Slowly, I nodded. “Any interest in modeling?” She asked. I was about to say something when Adam pinched my cl-t, making me moan and held his hand tight. Emiliana and Casimir seem worried.I gave Adam a pleading look to stop. It’s a public area and if he’s erect or feels hot, we couldn’t just do it here! To God’s glory, both of them didn’t look down cause Adam’s hand was noticeable. “U-Uh... I’m not into m-modeling, Emiliana.” She winced. “Honestly, the first time I laid my eyes on you made me think you’re a model. You have the body of a model.” I shyly smiled at her before biting my lower lip again. “Thanks for the offer tho.” The dinner went smoothly. Casimir and Adam are busy talking while Raviora and Tili are busy eating. I still manage to keep my sanity intact while his hands are still inside my shorts.I hate myself for continuing to
Raviora's Point of View He’s right. He was the one who paid for it, but I don’t want to ask him to eat with me or give him even just a bite. Instead of keeping quiet, I spoke. “Do you want some?” “No.” See? “But I was the one who paid for it. You should be asking me whether I like it or not.” I rolled my eyes. His eyebrow shot up. “I’ll pay you back. Don’t worry.”Adam tilted his head cockily, “Pay me using my own money?” He said sarcastically. Oh, he’s right. All the money I have right now is his. Right, you got a point there. He gave me ten thousand pesos before he left, but almost nine thousand are still left. I don’t indulge in idle things, that’s why I still have the money. Also, I barely go outside during the week. “You’re supposedly dining with Andrea. Why are you here?” I asked, changing the topic. Adam gave me a stern look. “She went home already.” The taste of sweet cake I once liked became bitter to me. “Uh-huh,”“Why are you here?” A bitter tone came out of my mou
Raviora's Point of View “At the airport, miss.” He answered.My eyebrow furrowed. Did Adam arrive already? Because as far as I know, the airport will be hours away from our current location. “But you told me earlier he’ll come home any minute before we left?” I asked, a bit confused. Maxwell lifted his hands and put his elbows on the window while his left hand was on his chin while the other one was on the steering wheel. “His flight was delayed. No one will come and pick them up.” I sighed. “How long are we gonna wait?” “I’m uncertain about it. Let’s just see.” I crossed my arms while inside. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and scrolled to my social media. There’s no important has happened for the past few weeks. I stopped using social media. The only phone number I got among my friends is Tori’s. Right, why the hell didn’t I get their numbers so we could call right away anytime? Sometimes, I really hate myself for being stupid. Francisco and Roman, on the other hand,
Raviora's Point of View I can’t explain what I’m feeling. Maybe Leandro was right that he had a girlfriend. Good thing that she didn’t see me having a video call inside the bathroom with his boyfriend! Who wouldn’t do that? She might see me in the tub, naked. She’d think the other way around! My face heated. Not because I got shy or shocked or what. It’s because I am angry and the fact that he lied to me. He had a girlfriend, yet I’m here, imprisoned and couldn’t go out. To restrain myself from thinking inappropriate things, I stood up and took a bath completely. Instead of choosing the hot water, the cold one drips down my body. I tried recalibrating my mind while having a cold bath, but nothing happened. Still the same. Couldn’t function. I stayed up all night that day. Thinking possible things might happen. However, a scenario flashed in my head, infuriating and blood boiling. As far as I can remember, I stayed up all night thinking and waiting for another call but nothing oc
Raviora's Point of ViewFew door rings disturbed me from cooking. Thinking it might be Lily who went outside, I immediately opened the door but it turned out it was Leandro wearing his huge smile when he saw me. I blinked thrice, don’t know what to do. Leandro is a close friend of Adam and had balls to invite himself in. “Hey there, Raviora.” He said playfully.A small smile crept on my lips. “Oh.. hi.” “Who’s men are here? Why are you all alone inside?” “Ah!” I chuckled before closing the door. “Lily went out and I don’t know where Maxwell is...” His eyebrow furrowed. “Uh-huh. Where is he?” “He might go somewhere else. I don’t know.” I said, before going back to the kitchen. Lily went out to buy some groceries. Our stock is nearly gone, and it’s almost lunchtime and Lily can’t cook. Well, the dish is easy tho. It’s a Filipino style food I thought of cooking. My eyes went to Leandro. He’s just watching me peeling potatoes and slicing garlic and onions. Slowly, he nodded. Judg
Raviora’s Point of View“Excuse me?” A tall young lady wearing a uniform came to our table.All of us looked at her. My forehead creased when I saw her hairstyle and makeup is. “Yes?” Kia answered politely. “I’m sorry, Ma’am. But we’ll close our shop already in ten minutes.” We had no choice but to leave. However, we are still outside waiting for Kelly to come out since she just used their bathroom shortly. While we were outside, I saw Maxwell nearby. He didn’t come near me, just like what I told him to do. I looked away and focused my attention on my friends in front. “It’s still early. Probably four in the afternoon. Are y’all going home?” I asked curiously before tucking my hair behind my ears because of the wind. Tori looked at her wristwatch. “Oh right. Why don’t we go to the mall? I’m planning to buy things for my new apartment though.” Kia and I looked at each other. “I’m okay with it. I have no other things to do. How about you, Kia?” She snorted before nodding her he
Raviora's Point of ViewMy gaze went immediately to Maxwell who took a few steps away from us. It has been hours since Adam left and I felt there's something inside my heart I couldn't explain. Lily and I briefly went to the cashier. The line wasn't long, it's enough for us to wait. Nothing special happened that day. As far as I remember, it's already six in the evening when we went home and almost seven in the evening when we got home. Just like the usual, streets started shining with their amazing lights and impressed people that passed in the road. I was just silent the whole trip, thinking if I should call one of my best friends right now and ask how they are. Yet, my fingers didn't move. My gaze went to my phone. I bit my lower lip thinking ridiculous things such as accusing myself that I'm waiting for someone's call and a bit annoyed because of it. "Who's already taking charge of the beach house, Lily?" I asked out of nowhere. "Few cars arrived earlier there. I guess it's
Raviora's Point of ViewI am standing in front of Adam wearing my big smile and nodding like an obedient kid to him. His fiery eyes went on mine. “What are my rules?” He said, using his stern voice. “Rule number one, I should answer your call every time before it rings three times. Rule number two, I should bring Maxwell with me. Rule number three, I should never run away from you and lastly, no one has to know where I went for the past few weeks.” Adam crossed his arms, “And what’s the punishment, young lady?”My throat went dry. Thinking about what punishment he told me yesterday made my heart sink. I looked away while biting my lower lip. Yet, Adam inclined forward and his fingers went on my jaw, ordering me to look at him. “Y-You’ll punish me. You’ll c-choke me and punish me h-hard...”Adam slowly trailed his fingers on my cheeks, to my chin not until it went back to my lips. I am leaning on the wall while he’s standing in front of me. “Very good.” His thumb brushed my lips.
