Chapter 3 - Not A Single Fan Of Him
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Her cousin Sheena wailed and protested about how her happiness had been snatched away. While she laughed at Sheena, she went back to her bed and laid back down. She's still wearing makeup and has a headache! Wait, where's my phone?
Sheena slapped her arms, causing her to return to reality. "We're grounded, girl," she said, rolling her eyes at her.
"Have you seen my phone? I can’t find—" but stopped as she realized she had given the man her phone. She jumped out of bed and pulled her hair. Oh my! Lianne, you are such a moron!
"What? You forgot it, right? You just handed it over to Captain Zyd last night and walked out like you were in a fashion show." Her cousin teased her.
She slapped herself for being so foolish. She won't ever set foot inside a bar again. She was now traumatized. Why?
Why did she give it to him? She is not Santa Claus, jeez! While Sheena was on her phone, grinning and shivering. She can't help but look at Sheena's phone just to smooth her unkempt hair. Omg!
It's photographs of her and Zyd in the middle of the road. They looked like actors filming a kissing scene for a new movie.
"How could he kiss me? That’s not fair." She whined.
"Shit, Lianne, you're really famous by now! Your beauty is trending!" Sheena said as it opened its Twitter account, giggling. There were stolen photos that were tweeted with captions that were really damaging to her.
Her cousin was right; indeed, she is famous at the moment. It's a good thing that nobody filmed them while Zyd was kissing her on the highway. Oh my! I am such a mess.
For god's sake, she was too stunning in those stolen pictures. Argh!
She's irritated. She covered a pillow over her face and forced herself to forget the embarrassing moment.
***
IT IS SPRING season in Pennsylvania, so she wore a simple white summer dress and sneakers, then topped it with a denim jacket. She braided her hair and applied lip gloss. After only a month of living here, she was already familiar with the neighborhood, so her aunt felt at ease if she left the house.
Her plan was to look for work again today, but she decided to postpone it until tomorrow. She will just be filling her cloudy mind with good thoughts. Life can be tiring sometimes. She sat on a swing that was a little far from the shore while toting her favorite book. This strange place is making her happy. She took a few deep breaths and smiled at herself. The sun was blazing brightly, but she was shaded by a large tree and could only feel the cold wind.
She opened her book and began reading. In her right hand, she held a cup of instant coffee, which she had purchased from a nearby convenience store. She was in the middle of reading when she noticed a pair of shoes on one of the swings. She was stunned for a while and lifted her gaze to see who that person was.
Her face flushed as she realized who it was. It was just a Greek god sitting there, taking a break. The man was holding a bottle of water in his other hand and had a wet sando that made it clear that he had just finished jogging.
She immediately returned her focus to her reading. Although she wasn't interested in attractive men in Pennsylvania, she occasionally finds herself mesmerized by their good looks. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the men in the Philippines were as attractive as these men.
"Hej, du slapper det har." Hey, you dropped it.
She stared at the man as he spoke in a language she didn't understand. She saw him handing her the Pittsburgh Penguin keychain she had previously purchased. She remembered how obsessed she had been with Zyd in the past, and she had even purchased a keychain with his team's name on it. Argh! She wished she could curse Zyd! But, because she wasn't that way, she simply accepted the keychain and hid it inside her bag.
"Ar du en filipina? Och jag tror att du ar fan av Pittsburgh Penguin." Are you a filipina? It seems you're a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguin.
What?! Is this man acting on purpose? It is very obvious that she can't understand him! What if she smacks him in the face?
"Sorry?" is all she can say. She wanted to read more, regardless of how attractive this man's eyes are.
The man laughed and scratched his head. "My apologies, I thought I was still in Sweden." He said this, smiling. "So, you're a Pittsburgh Penguins fan?"
She chose not to respond, and she was not a fan of Pittsburgh. Is simply owning a keychain enough to be labeled a fan?
"Uh... Okay, I need to go! Bye!" The man walked away, but not before looking back at her and smiling again. "By the way, you're beautiful."
Lianne was left speechless by the man's words. Although she was used to receiving compliments, it still makes her shudder when a stranger does it. She stayed on the swing for about two hours before she decided to leave. Comparatively speaking to the Philippines, where there were many snatchers hiding around, she was not hesitant to wander around by herself. Not to mention the drug users.
Lianne will hunt for work again, and this time she was determined until she saw a couple arguing from a distance. She ignored it until she recognized the man—the man who wouldn't leave her mind the entire night. Pennsylvania is surprisingly small, huh? Because of this, shouldn't she have thanked God? What the hell?
Her eyes rolled.
It's a good thing he still doesn't recognize her. And, as much as she wanted to get her phone from this man, she couldn't! She was well aware of how heinous her actions were, yet she never regretted them, except for the kiss. That is something she deeply regrets.
"I'm sick of our relationship, Zyd!" The woman angrily said, and because her sense of hearing was quite impressive, she heard that.
She gave a smirk. Being tired is perfectly normal. That man is a shithole!
She was tempted to step in, but she refrained. All she did was listen to them argue with each other.
"We should talk in private, Kate—"
Again, she rolled her eyes. Screw him!
"You never return my calls, Zyd! I'm glad your best pal Kodi told me you were here!"
"C’m on! There are people here watching us. Do you really want us to argue here in front of everyone?""
"Yeah, and so what? I saw that disgusting video of you kissing someone in a bar. Who is that fucking woman?!"
Her brow furrowed as she made the decision to go and stopped paying attention to their arguments. She may become involved and is unable to stop herself from interfering. Fight you two, assholes!
Despite her urge to interfere, she simply left.

TEMPTER [Comedy-Romance] Chapter 4 - Min Dam
Finally, she found a new job in a coffee shop. It was fine for her since she works as a cashier there. If she converts it to Philippine pesos, it's still a lot of money. She is not picky about jobs; if she is interested in one, she will pursue it. The Coffee Shop was not as crowded since it had just opened and was not as well known as other coffee shops. And she was with two other Filipinas who work at the coffee shop. She immediately made two new friends. "He's extremely attractive, isn't he?" The two ladies, whose names she knew as Hera and Trixie, were fantasizing while their gazes were drawn to a large flatscreen TV in the corner. She glanced at them right away, just to roll her eyes at the person they were talking about. She simply ignored them and returned her focus to the menu. She has no interest in coffee, therefore she must remember every variety on the menu! It's difficult, though. "I wish I was as fortunate as his girlfriend." Hera said, daydreaming again like a fool.

The man immediately paid for the coffee he had ordered and then turned away from her without saying anything. She left me speechless. Sorry for what? Suddenly, she realized she still hadn't handed him his change. She got up quickly, hurried outside after the man, and gave him the change. When she saw him, he was already on his motorcycle and wearing his helmet. She dashed forward to get closer to the man and called him, "Hey, Sir!" It glanced at her. She was about to say, "You left your change," when suddenly she stumbled over her foot, and the next thing she knew, the pavement floor had caught her. She cried out in pain, "Ouch!" and staggered to her feet. "Min Dam, are you okay?" the man rushed over to her and helped her stand. She still managed to hand him his money. What a pain! Why was she chasing him to begin with? They're not even playing chase. This man can use his card, so why the hell did he use cash instead? Argh. I hate it! It’s so embarrassing. "What makes you hurry?

She tugged Zyd's collar and gave him a silent kiss before he could finish what he was about to say. He was taken aback by what she did. They remained that way for minutes. "Fuck we lost her!" God! She finally let out a breath. She was quietly relieved when those jerks disappeared, but she quickly realized it was Zyd Caiden McCluskey, whom she had just kissed right now. 'Omg! The what I did?' Why did she do it? Why, of all people, did she run into this man again? How can she get out of here? "Nice strategy. You are going with me to the police station." He drove the car quickly. Wait, what? "Hey, hey, I'm not a thief! I was being robbed, and someone was trying to harm me, so I ended up hiding myself inside your car," she explained. This is so annoying. "Who are you fooling with?" he asked, simply staring at her and making it clear he didn't buy what she was saying. "Whether you like it or not, you will go with me." Crap! Does she look like a thief? She could do nothing when the

She was already at her station, and he was standing in front of her, holding the menu and pointing to the particular coffee he wanted that day. "Can I have this coffee?" The man's eyes still didn't leave her alone, and she felt awkward about it. "Which one, sir?" Hera teased. "Do you mean Lianne Coffee Ala Latte?" As soon as the man nodded, Trixie started giggling, which almost knocked her over in excitement. "I mean, espresso," the man said, then paid for what he had ordered and went to his seat. Her two colleagues were trying hard not to scream and poke her, while she just shrugged them off. Then Lianne remembers that this man is a hockey player. "Sir?" She went to his seat and stood in front of him. The man sat near the window, his entire attention focused on the phone. "Yeah?" he asked, looking at her. "You are a hockey player, right?" "Hmm?" "Are you acquainted with Zyd Caiden McCluskey?" For a brief moment, the man, as well as her two colleagues, were taken aback by her

Lianne decided to go to the Coffee Shop that day but it was still closed. So, she decided to visit her favorite spot again; the swing. She sat there quietly and freely gazed at the beautiful plant in the distance. It seemed like only yesterday that Zyd and I were still happy and in a flash his attitude towards her suddenly changed.

“Get ready—” She was suddenly startled and stared at her body.She was distracted when her husband entered her room. She was wearing a thin red nightie and it was obvious that her undies were wearing. How did he get in? Did she forget to lock? She sneezed and artistically walked to bed. She was on the couch earlier and reading a weird book she had previously bought at the bookstore."How did you get in?" she asked as she sat on the bed in front of him. Next to him was Muning who was artistically lying and sleeping.He did not respond. She just looked at him from head to toe and was obviously disgusted by his presence. Lianne thought she would come out and apologize for the sudden entry into her room but no. He stepped in and closed the door.
