Rafael's Point of View I don't know what was in my mind to do that. I know what I did to Fleur was wrong. That time, she hated me. I have seen the expression on her face. I thought I would be away from stress now that I was on vacation, but my jealousy created a problem that would cause more stress. I don't have a girlfriend, but I dared to ask for a double date. How ironic. I let out a deep breath while looking at the ceiling of my room. How can I tell Fleur to forget everything she heard from me? I bet she would not forget that easily. I am more curious now about what Fleur is doing now. Is she enjoying her vacation? Or is she with her boyfriend right now? I stood up from my bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. I stared at the mirror for a while, then finally chose to do the plan I had in mind. Let me see who your boyfriend is now. I fixed my hair and changed my T-shirt and pants. I want it to look simple. But I ensured that if I bumped myself into Fleur and her boyfriend

Amari Fleur's Point Of View I have never been this happy in my whole life. All day, I only took pictures. I have been doing this since I was young and missed it. Taking photographs with various subjects made my day. I regret forgetting to bring my camera, but it's alright since my phone's camera is excellent. Everyone was busy with their outdoor activities. It was the resort staff's idea to have different outdoor games. I heard that the resort owners were two Filipino businessmen, which is why all of their crew was Filipino, which made everyone very hospitable. I just experienced a whole day without problems, it was fantastic. My day was only filled with enjoyment. I thought I would never get this chance again. The last time I had so much fun was when I was 7. Mommy and I used to have a vacation here until I became 12. We stopped having a break since I became busy at middle school. Maldives was always my favorite place to visit. I wish I could always go here whenever I want, but I

Rafael's Point Of View Idiot is the perfect word that can describe me now. I was smiling in the mirror for half an hour while lying on the bed. I woke up in this state. My smile never faded wherever my eyes landed in the corner of the room. All I can see and think is about Fleur since last night when I admitted to myself that I had fallen for her. And I think that made me crazier. Should I let Fleur know about how I feel towards her? Again, my lips curved into a wide smile as I shook my head. I'm sure they would laugh at me if Mira, Hans, and Janica were with me now. I should get up now and prepare. I stood up from the bed, went to the bathroom for a quick shower, and prepared for today's agenda, that is, to see Fleur today. I am planning to ask her out and have dinner with me. I still wondered if I should confess my feelings to her, but I didn't want to shock her. Then, I should take it slow and be friends with her. Just like what Hans told me, when he started to feel somet

Rafael's Point Of View After conversing with my friend, I immediately left my room to look for Fleur. I kept smiling at everyone that I had been seeing in the hallway. I can't hide the happiness that I have right now. I need to see you, Fleur. Where are you right now? "Good morning, Sir." A resort staff greeted me. I smiled and nodded. I was about to greet the staff when I saw Fleur. My smile widened but immediately disappeared when I saw a man in front of Fleur, who seemed to be bothering her. The two seemed to be arguing, so I thought of returning to my room, but when I saw the man violently pulling Fleur's wrist, my mood changed. "Excuse me." I spoke to the resort staff and headed to where Fleur and the man were. "Let go of me!" Fleur spoke here while trying to escape from the man. "Come with me." The man insists. He pulled Fleur closer to him again. He was about to grab Fleur by the waist, but I was able to stop him. He darted his eyes on me. The man was drunk based on

Rafael's Point Of View"What?"Fleur asked me. I glanced at the sky, which was still dark. It's still raining, but it's not as heavy as before. I looked at Fleur and smiled before I talked again."I said, let's have a date tonight."I told Fleur while looking at the beach sand. Fleur stopped walking, which made me stop walking, too, and face her. She was giving me a questioning look, which made me smile. "Why? Don't you want to date me?"I asked Fleur and chuckled. She frowned at me, then let out a sigh."Why? Why do we have to date? Why do you want to date me?"Fleur asked me a lot of questions while staring into my eyes. Those pair of almond-green eyes were beautiful, and it suited her."Do I need to answer all those questions before I can finally date you?"I asked Fleur. She shook her head and sighed. "I just want to know your reason. Why do you want to date me?"She said with a crease on her forehead. "Stop asking questions with obvious answers. I want to date you, Fleur. Isn'

Rafael's Point Of View Neither Fleur nor I seemed to want to talk and kept walking towards the bonfire I had requested from the resort staff. I glanced at Fleur, who was busy playing with her feet on the white sand we were walking on. She looks adorable wearing her simple floral dress. I like her even more because of her simplicity and some details I have known about her earlier. Outside her room, I saw a staff member looking for Fleur. She was holding a brochure about Homeless People and the Stray Animals Foundation. When I asked the female staff, she said it was Fleur's who gave the resort a copy so that in case anyone needs help, they can contact Fleur's Charity Foundation. The staff also shared details about Fleur that made me admire her more. Fleur has a Charity Foundation that helps every country's homeless people and animals. She also has a hospital for animals and is willing to help every animal. Fleur helps to find the animals their permanent home. She also has her scholar

Amari Fleur's Point Of View An unfamiliar smell entered my nose, which made my eyes open. I woke up, and it made me realize that I was not lying in my bed but in a man still asleep. It was Rafael. But what surprised me even more was when I realized that I was lying on top of him and only the blanket covered our bodies. What did I do? What did I do? I was about to stand up when I suddenly felt a painful part of my body. My eyes widened as I glanced inside the blanket wrapped around me. What the hell?! I closed my eyes when Rafael suddenly moved. I didn't know if he was awake or still asleep. That's why I stayed in that position where I was still on top of Rafael. I tried to recall everything, and it all started with our conversation under the rain. Rafael asks me out about being with him at the beach bonfire date, to which I agree as a thank you for helping me when the drunk Jacob tried to mess up things. And before I headed back into the resort, I even gave a peck of a kiss

Amari Fleur's Point Of View "Babe, what do you want..." Rafael did not finish his question when his eyes averted on his phone, which I've been holding for minutes now. "Hey, what happened? Are you alright?" Rafaels asked and sat down on my side. I was looking at him and still thinking about how he had my photo, which is precisely a rare one. I called it my rare photo because I only sent it to my Mom, Auntie Lilet and Patrizia. I am not into posting on social media because, in the first place, I am not using it either. Is he my stalker? "How did you have a copy of this photo?" I asked Rafael and raised his phone. He took his phone from my hand and looked at the picture I was talking about. Rafael looked at me and smiled. "Why are you smiling? Please answer my question. How did you have it?" I said to him. Rafael grinned, which made my forehead crease. "Alright, I will tell you, but first, let's have our breakfast, okay? So, what do you want for breakfast?" Rafael asked. I s

Then, now you are getting married to my brother?" Rafael added."Please, Rafael, let me go. I am now happy with your brother so leave us alone." I said to Rafael but he still continue following me."How about Aella, she has a lot of similarities with me, is she my daughter?" Rafael said which made me nervous."Rafael, please, don't do this, just let me go and stop concluding things," I said but what shocked me is when Rafael kneeled in front of me. "Please, Fleur, choose me, we can runaway together. You don't need to get married with my brother." Rafael said as he reached for my hands. "Are you insane? I can't hurt your brother just like that. I love him." I said which made Rafael stood up."Yes, I am insane. I lost my sanity because of you yet you can afford to hurt me like this." Rafael sa

AMARI FLEUR'S POVI was busy with my work when Neil sat beside me on the sofa while Aella was busy with her toys. Neil reached for the TV remote control and turned it on just in time for the Business News channel. It was his favorite channel, so Neil was so focused on watching. Suddenly, Aella came to Neil and sat on his lap; I smiled to see my son so happy."And here's our top businessman of the year, Mr. Rafael Villarante," the Interviewer said. I stopped my work and then got my attention. I couldn't take my eyes off the TV, especially when Rafael was smiling."Daddy," Aella said, which surprised me; she was looking at Rafael and calling him daddy."You look gorgeous, Mr. Villarante. Is it because of your love life?" The Interviewer asked, and I could see Rafael's smile. Does Rafael have a love life? Does he love someone else?

I couldn't remember why I had a zero, so I immediately looked for my phone."You're awake," said a man sitting on the edge of my bed. I frowned as I tried to recognize the man in front of me."Neil? Neil Gutierrez?” I said then laughed when I met my friend during my student years at the Business Academy, he smiled at me then walked closer."It's good that you still remember me; how are you feeling?"

The hospital staff spoke and then handed me the DNA test I had done earlier.“Thank you.” I spoke sparingly then handed over an envelope containing money. I immediately went straight to my car.

Shall we talk here?” I asked, and he smiled."Let's get out of the car first, I'll show you something," Rafael said, then got out of the car. I immediately went to the right side of the vehicle to open the car door."So, where are we?" I will ask. Rafael smiled at me and then pointed to a small hut."In that hut, that's where we're going," Rafael said. I frowned as I looked at the hut he pointed to."Why there? What's up?" I'm still curious. Rafael smiled and then suddenly pulled me by my hand. We both ran towards the hut he was talking about. And when we got to the front of itust admired it like that. This hut is just so beautiful up close. It looks small when you look at it from a distance, but it is big and up close.“I had it done two years ago.
