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

    Amari Fleur's Point Of View Amari Fleur's Point Of View I welcomed Rafael with a firm slap on his face. I could not stop doing that because of what I saw and read earlier. "What's that for, Fleur?" Rafael asked me in surprise. I did not answer him. Instead, I picked up his phone from the bedside table and threw it at him. Rafael quickly dodged it but couldn't avoid it when I stoned him again with a hard object. "Fleur?" I was suddenly brought back to reality by the loud calling of Rafael, who had just returned. He was standing before me with a trace of concern on his face. I glanced at him. He sat beside me, put his palm on my forehead, and checked my temperature. I removed it and then fixed it myself. My mind is crazy! I thought I did that. "Hey, are you alright? Is there something wrong?" Rafael asked worriedly. I stared at him and did not respond to his questions. I suddenly lost the appetite to talk to him because of what I saw on his phone. I know it's wrong to check s

    Rafael's Point Of View I couldn't help but smile because of the beautiful view I was seeing. Fleur peacefully slept in bed while I stood and stared at her for almost an hour since I woke up. It's been five days, and she is still here with me. I didn't let her return to her room; I just let her stay here. My phone vibrated, so I took it from the bedside table. It was a message from one of the resort staff. I smiled when I read that the set-up for the dinner date with Fleur was fine. I've been preparing for that for almost two days, and I am very grateful to some staff who helped me prepare. I rented a floating hut for our dinner date venue. I want this night to be special because I decided to confess my feelings to Fleur. In the last few days we were together, I knew she sensed my hints that I liked her, but I still wanted to tell Fleur and confirm that she was not wrong because I liked her. I want to ask her permission to court her officially. Fleur and I kept discussing our life

    Amari Fleur's Point of View As I walked towards the lobby area, the smile on my face did not disappear. I wonder if this is still me or if this body already has a different person. I don't smile a lot, and everyone knows that. But now, in my current state, my lips were about to rip up because of the smile that hadn't faded from my face. I left Rafael's room because he let me go back to my room to prepare for our dinner date tonight. Just thinking about that date makes me excited and happy. I don't know what Rafael did to me, and I became like this. I noticed that something in me had changed. I am so happy these past few days because we are together. We are not in a relationship, but it feels that way. This may be what they call mutual understanding. I am not sure about it since I have never experienced this thing, just now. I was supposed to return to my room, but because of our date tonight, I thought of going to the lobby to ask the staff if they knew where to buy a dress. Beca

I'm here to repeatedly check if I have anything to put or things to surround.I also asked Mira and Hans' opinions when I video-video-called to see the venue's setup. Hans did not stop teasing me earlier, while Mira supportively sent all her support for my confession tonight.I also told J.D. and Raiko via messages what happened tonight. And both of them were really happy for me."If you're going to tell her how you feel, what will you say?"Mira asked. I thought about his question."My feelings"I answered Mira's question. Hans laughed a lot, which made Mira glare at him."Yes, but how are you gonna say it?"Mira's follow-up question to me. I didn't know what to answer, which made Hans laugh again."Will you please stop laughing? Try to help him instead."Mira said to Hans, who stopped laughing. I simply laughed at Hans for making Mira look cute, but Mir

    Rafael's Point Of View As I was lost in thoughts about Fleur, I accidentally collided with a few individuals on my way to her room. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to apologize since my main priority was to speak with Fleur and clarify that Agatha's words were only lies. I hope she will believe me instead of believing what Agatha tells her. Without hesitation, I confidently rapped my knuckles against the sturdy wooden surface of Fleur's door, eagerly anticipating talking to her. "Hey, Fleur, do you have a moment to talk?" I knocked persistently on the door but received no answer, which caused me to worry. "Please, Fleur. Whatever Agatha may have said, allow me to clarify." Despite my numerous pleas, I am still waiting for an answer from Fleur. I remain hopeful that she will eventually respond to my requests. As I attempted to enter Fleur's room, I grasped the doorknob and tried to turn it, but to my dismay, it was locked and refused to budge, leaving me unable to ga

    Rafael's Point Of View I hastily returned to the floating hut I rented for my supposed dinner date with Fleur. A few steps further, I saw Agatha was still sitting there, making my blood boil. Agatha didn't notice my arrival because she was busy on her phone. All of her attention was on her phone. I walked towards the chair which is opposite to Agatha. She instantly hid her phone and stood up from her seat. Agatha was about to come near me, but I immediately raised my hand to stop her. I sat on one of the chairs and reached for the wine bottle. "Raf, have you talked to her? What did she say? Did she believe what I've said?" Agatha asked me. I glanced but did not bother to answer her questions. Instead, I poured wine into a glass and drank it while looking at Agatha. Fear was already visible on her face, especially in her eyes. I already know that she is guilty because she has done something wrong. "Raf? Please, speak up. I am worried about you." Agatha said, which made me laugh

    Amari Fleur's Point Of View I lay on my bed and gazed out the window, but I still felt tired even though I had been resting since returning from the trip. As I gazed at the birds outside my window, flying in pairs with their companions, tears streamed down my face unnoticed. I allowed myself to cry, feeling it was the appropriate response. However, when Patrizia entered my room, I quickly wiped away my tears. "Fleur, are you crying about something?" Patrizia quickly came to my side, looking worried. I scrambled to come up with an excuse. "I didn't cry. The dust got into my eyes, and I just let the tears wash it out," I told Patrizia, who scrutinized me before nodding in agreement. I felt relieved after fearing she would interrogate me. "Don't worry, I'll go with you to the case hearing tomorrow. Many people will speak up against Sachna to strengthen our case." Patrizia informed me, but my mind was preoccupied with what I had left behind in the Maldives, causing me to lose i

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

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.

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?
