32: I Don't Like It
"You have something to pick up, Kaia. I'm leaving then ..." Serio said shyly. In shock, I grabbed his arm to restrain him. I was taken aback by my action. He was the same so I left immediately.
"Uh, next time ..."
I bit my lower lip. The truth is, that's not what I want to say. It's just, I was pressured by Sage's stare on me. I was also ashamed of what I did. I don't touch men just like that. Men sometimes misunderstood simple gestures like what I did. I don't want Serio to think like that. He's a good friend.
"I'm sorry," I added.
Seriously smiled. "It's okay. All right, I'll go first." He looked at Sage and nodded before leaving.
"Why are you here?" I asked, a bit cold. It's the way to hide the uneasiness I'm feeling. I don’t want to look stupid in front of him. I don't want to be rude, either.
"Is it Livius?" It's not that hard to figure out. It also happened once that Livius sent me to his friend. Only that it was Jonas who did it

"Here's your favorite hawaiian pizza, ma'am." Livius smiled."Thank you." I smiled, focusing on the front.A woman dropped drinks on our table. I unconsciously glanced at Sage's table. My eyes lingered there for a few seconds. Tania was talking while smiling at him. But I didn't see him smile even a bit. He wasn't even responding at all. Or he may be listening intently to the woman. She must be special, then?"Let's bring its Mama too," I said as I looked back at Livius. We started eating."Yup. I've got something ready there.""Thank you.""You're always welcome, Kaia."Livius and I left first. They never talked to Sage again. Livius just gave a signal to tell us to leave first. I only looked at Sage. He looked at me, too. But it was only quick. I heard Tania called his name. I turned around when Livius guided me to the door of the pizza house."So, are you dating yet?" Brenda inquired the night after she had eaten dinner with

I was intimidated. I nervously presented him with the menu. Why is he still stuck here in so many coffee shops?"Black coffee and clubhouse sandwich," he said in a low voice as he stared at me."Uh, okay ..." I hesitated if I should put 'sir' on the last part like how I usually address the male customers. But I just didn't do that and turned away. Arriving at the counter I immediately told Sage’s order to Rian."Are you okay, Kaia?" asked Joseph, the cashier there."Yes ..." Why, what do I look like? Do I look constipated?In recent months Sage's association with Livius has diminished. Every time he came, we didn't talk. I mean, we interact with each other on small things. But we haven't really been able to communicate properly yet. Not that I want a long interaction with him. The point is, we are not close even when he comes home. So I counted on him.There's also that unapproachable air on him. Very different from Livius."Han
The Demoness Alpha 35: Is it Good or Bad?
"There's your handsome customer again ..." Rian said meaningfully when I came out of the locker room. I’m done with my shift for that day.I sighed when I saw Sage on one of the tables. It looks like he's really serious that he's going to pick me up all the time. Was Livius too worried about me to disturb his friend like this?But on the other hand, Sage seems okay with it. And that’s what I don’t understand. After all, he could have rejected Livius. But why didn’t he? I thought about that. Sage mentioned that they had an agreement. Maybe it's a give and take agreement. That reason seems more logical."Do you have an order?" I asked Sage.He looked up at me. Compared to yesterday, she is wearing more formal now. He's wearing a blue longsleeved shirt tucked in his black slacks. It was folded up to the elbow.His eyes went down to check his wristwatch. "It's already two. Your shift is over." He looked at me again. This time, h

That night Livius texted me. I immediately read that when it popped up on my cellphone screen.Livius:Sorry for late reply. Let go of Sage, Kaia. He is my eyes on you. I'll visit you soon. I miss you and Mom.I smiled at the last part of his text. But realizing the content of the first part, my smile faded. Let? Now that Sage knows something personal about me, I can count on him even more!I turned off the cellphone and hugged the pillow. I did not reply. I still wanted to convince Livius, just in case he wondered if I would insist. I don't want him to get the wrong idea. Why is it that all his friends are still Sage? It could be Jonas or Carson!"Good afternoon, Miss Beautiful!" Lucio introduced me as I entered the coffee shop. I caught him mopping near the counter. It's Thursday so I'm in at two o'clock. I can't smile properly. I'm just thinking that Sage will pick me up again later because I'm losing my appetite."Good afternoon too, Luc

“Mom, Rose invited me to attend her Mom and Dad’s anniversary,” I said as we had breakfast Saturday morning."If you want to go, I won't stop you. But are you going to wear anything there?""I will choose the ones that Livius bought for me ..."Mom knows Rose. So he did not hesitate to accompany me. After we had breakfast Brenda arrived. I told him about that party. So he offered to help me choose what to wear. I told her that there's no need to do that. But he insisted so I just let him."What's that! The clothes are too conservative! What does Livius think of you? Man?"All the dresses Livius and I had bought before lay on the bed. It's been months but those remained untouched. No sleeveless there. Everything is also up to knee length. For me, those are all elegant. But when it comes to Brenda's taste, she won't like it. He wants you to be a bit showy."Those are okay, Brenda. I don't need sexy dresses.""The prett

At six o'clock Rose's car arrived to pick me up. I told him that there was no need for a case, he was really insistent. Mang Kanor is the driver. I already knew him because when Rose and I went home together, they would pass me by. She smiled when I opened the door."Thank you.""Are there many guests at the party?" I asked while Mang Kanor was driving."I'm sure there are many, hija. And I think only the rich will attend.""I hope I don't stay there. I'm not rich," I smiled slightly."But you're Rose's friend so you should just go there. And then you're something there. Alas, I immediately remembered my son. It was a dream to attend the parties of the rich.""How old is your son?""Maybe he's just your age. How old are you?" he said while glancing in the rear view mirror."Nineteen ...""You're only a year apart. It's already twenty."Because of my conversation with Mang Kanor, I didn't realize that we had arrive

"Harris, this is Kaia, my best friend. Kaia, meet my cousin, Harris."An amused grin plastered on Harris' face. We shook hands. But that was only quick. The guy is handsome. That was the first thing I realized. He has a fair complexion. Her black hair is quite long with brown highlights. Overall, he looks dashing but somehow, playful."He studies in Manila and is rarely here in Lucena so you don't know him," Rose whispered to me."Nice to meet you, Kaia," Harris said.I kept raising an eyebrow. That look. He was so arrogant that it seemed as if he could tame all women."Harris," Kenneth whispered. He followed us. He was still holding a wine glass. He looked at me, one eyebrow raised. My forehead furrowed."Ken, long time no see!" Harris smirked.We barely moved away from the two men."That cousin of yours is a playboy, Rose," I whispered.
