Strange
The room temperature should be cool enough but the two people on the bed wouldn’t stop sweating. Shane felt hot that he needed to take off his shirt and oh… his pants since he felt something growing down there and it was getting tighter by the minute. Audrey wasn’t just sweating but thirsty as well. Her throat dried up, and she needed something to quench it. It was all because of the heat coming from inside her body. She wanted to release it and but didn’t know how to. She felt her body was craving for something and although she got a vague idea what it was, her mind and heart seemed not to mind it at all.
He removed her shirt while locking their eyes. His hands were shaking. It wasn’t like he hadn’t done it before, but he felt nervous. Anyway, he didn’t want to think about anyone else except the woman underneath him
“Please…” Audrey’s eyes started to produce tears from the pleasurable thing she was feeling down there. She knew it was kind of painful and the feeling was so strange because she wanted him to continue making her feel that way.Shane let go of her hand and moved away from her. “Please what, baby?” He asked in a playful tone. He didn’t expect her to give in, but he had his plans. It wasn’t like he was going to eat and run after.“P-please don’t stop,” she said in a shy voice. Who wouldn’t be embarrassed to say that anyway?“If you do what I tell you then I’ll listen to your request,” Shane negotiated. He even stopped what he was doing and just looked at her eyes. He too, feel the burning flame inside him and there was so
“I think I love you,” Shane whispered which she could barely hear. Audrey smiled at him when she failed to figure out what he said. She felt exhausted and sleepy. All she wanted to do was to sleep while hugging the man beside her, afraid that when she woke up the next morning… he’d be gone.“Don’t leave me,” she mumbled and closed her eyes. She was on Shane’s shoulder with her arm wrapped around him. They were both sweating after what they did, but she still found his smell nice. In fact, he smells better when he was sweating compared to when he was not.“Silly. You didn’t even reply properly to what I said,” Shane muttered and lifted her head to make her lay down on his arm instead. He embraced her so tightly. “I won’t leave you this time,” he said and kissed her forehead. A smile w
A week had passed and Audrey was finally going back to the villa. Shane drove her back after getting more sleep for the rest of the day. She was hesitant at first since she never rode a car for five years unless she was with Nathan. When they safely arrived in the evening, Audrey almost jumped in joy. Shane was also glad about her extraordinary courage although she really thought it was all because of him. Shane had to leave for the airport after sending her home since he was one of the casts needed for filming some scenes abroad. The trip might take another week.They hadn’t talked much about what happened between them in the hotel suite, but he reassured her that he’d be coming back with a surprise. He also mentioned the annulment to be reconsidered Audrey still felt like dreaming when Shane treated her differently. The way he talked to her and his cheesy way of calling her ‘baby’ could make h
Lights? Check. Chairs and tables? Check. Tablecloths? Check. Utensils? Check. Staffs? Check. Foods and drinks? Uh-uh… not ready yet. The day had finally come and tonight, Audrey’s restaurant will officially start its five days pre-open. It was only the first day and the chef was already cracking her head too much to think of something marvelous to serve.Audrey was sitting on the stool inside the chicken thinking about how to come up with the ‘best’ dish she would ever create if could. It wasn’t like she wasn’t prepared with the menu. The menu was fine and it wasn’t the problem. Nathan also hired one more chef to handle the daily menu every day in the case when she and Nathan weren’t around. The problem was, Shane said he was coming and Audrey still couldn’t decide a perfect dish to serve for him. The staff came four hours earlier to help prepare with the first day of th
“What happened?” Nathan asked when everyone left and there was only him and Audrey who was sitting on the couch. He was leaning on the kitchen door while looking at her carefully, making sure she was fine.Audrey sighed. She didn’t have the strength to start crying again. It could be because her tears were currently out of stock and there was no supply coming anytime soon yet, or she really finally learned her lesson after many attempts of giving up and well, coming back to him. Like a fool, she was tired of it. Not just saying tired but feeling tired of it. Everything about Shane.“It was nothing. I just found out some spicy gossip, and I was shocked. Can I stay at your place tonight? Well, we need to come up with some new recipe according to the customer’s feedback we had tonight,” she replied and gradually changed the topic. &ld
“Young master, Ms. Audrey hadn’t come home yet,” the housekeeper informed Shane when he asked about Audrey’s whereabouts in the morning when he couldn't find her anywhere.“Oh,” Shane glanced at his phone and tried to call Audrey again. He kept getting the same message saying g the phone couldn't be reached at all. “Do you have the number for the restaurant? I went there last night, and I was a little late to find anyone there.” The man scratched the back of his head and sat on the chair in front of the dining table.Due to some errands he needed to finished, Shane was late to come to the restaurant for the first day of Audrey's restaurant pre-open. The lights were already out and the door was locked when he came by after completing what he was doing. He wanted to surprise her but it was he who was surprised to know tha
“Audrey…”“Leave. There’s no place for you in here anymore,” Audrey said while looking at Shane’s desperate face as he knelt down in front of her with his ring. “Did you forget? I thought we were close enough when we were younger. I didn’t expect that wouldn’t actually remember how much I hate liars.” She went back to her previous as and crossed her legs. Audrey rested her back and started to rub her temples on each side. She had enough and it was already on its limit’s limit.Shane staggered when he tried to stand up. His face was showing how devastated he was. He was never been rejected by her before and it must have given him a real shock. “Audrey, please listen to me. I was a jerk-”“You are still a jerk, Shane. If
“Nate… you… you kissed me!” Audrey shrieked when she recovered from that mind-blowing gesture that her assistant did. “Are you nuts?!”Nathan who just also realized what he did, scratched the back of his head. He didn’t regret it, nor he wanted to regret it. In fact, he always wanted to do it, but he was holding it in. He knew that Audrey was a married woman, and she only considered him as her friend. It would be weird if he kissed her, but he actually did. “Ahem. I was so worried. You drove here all by yourself and knowing your condition didn’t help me calm for even a second,” he said as a matter of fact. He was not lying about being worried and the part where he couldn’t calm down was as real as the kiss they just had.Audrey looked away and uncon
The reddish lights painted across the sky meeting the sea ahead was more than a magnificent view to witness at dusk. A rare beauty to find in the middle of the ocean. Between the vast sky and the deep sea, a couple was found hugging each other. Loving gazes flashes across the other and sweet smiles were inscribed on their lips. It was a rare affectionate sight, filled with joys and hope melted on their faces. “Isn’t it wonderful?” Shane whispered to the woman in his arms. He prompted her to turn around and enjoy the scenery in front. “They say, watching the sunset together promises a happy life ahead till the last breath. Do you agree?” He bent down his face to smell the floral fragrance coming from the beauty in his hold. “Hmm… If I have known that watching the sunset will guarantee a happy life with you, I would have had already dragged you to watch the setting
The following days were hectic for the Vargas family. Mrs. Vargas was a perfectionist at times and was the most reliable to handle the wedding preparation. She didn’t want his son to get more embarrassed after his epic-failure when asking for Audrey’s hand. After all his cheesy plans to surprise Audrey, Shane ended up getting surprised instead. The elder couldn’t forget how her son blushed while answering ‘Yes’ to her future daughter-in-law’s proposal. It was a rather unique marriage proposal she ever witnessed. Well, who would even want to give up her diamond engagement ring for the man she loved only to make up with him after giving him a tease during the crucial moments? Only Audrey was willing to do.Mrs. Vargas was told that the ring Audrey removed and inserted on Shane’s finger was the same ring that her son bought from overseas and used to get back with Audrey when they once had a major
“Are we there yet?” Audrey asked while being guided by Shane somewhere outside the house. The actor came back in the evening with a bright face. He surprised her with a hug and kisses while she was preparing dinner. Thankfully, it was a weekend and Audrey didn't need to go out for work. Furthermore, she could spend more time with her fiancé which boosted her mood tenfold. She was so happy that she forgot about the 'pregnant' dilemma she had after the housekeeper mentioned something about it.“Almost there,” Shane replied as he held her hand by the hand. He made her wore a blindfold to add spice to his surprise. “Be patient, baby. There's no need to rush,” he continued.Audrey may not be around the house every time unless she got no plans during her week offs and had to stay home if not visiting at Nathan's place to have a ch
The white ceiling in Lucy’s office was always boring but somehow, Shane took an interest in it and even stared at it the whole time since he entered his manager’s office. The actor chose to face the ceiling rather than looking at Lucy’s fuming face. If was born with a talented hand, he could have already drawn her cartoon version with the smoke-like effect coming out from her nostrils. He was thinking about how his manager would look like when he heard him call his name in her infamous low voice.“Shane,” Lucy mumbled his name slowly and with an accuracy of the sound of every letter containing his name. “What do we do now?” Her tone remained the same though her voice went lower than before. Shane could guess, Lucy was in a not so good mood.A month ago, he did something on his own without telling his manager again. Just
The soft breathing sounds woken up Audrey. She smiled upon seeing the man beside her. His face was an embodiment of manly beauty. She could watch him all day long and would be certain not to get bored at all. Her hand fount its way to his cheek. She chuckled when she remembered how she pulled it off until it turned red though she was glad it wasn’t swollen.“Good morning,” Audrey greeted with a smile when Shane opened his eyes. His dark brown irises were always fascinating. They were like magical crystals that drew her in whenever she looked at them. “I love you,” she mumbled and moved closer to kiss him on the lips. It was a quick smack, and she found it sweet yet sincere.Shane smiled back at her after mouthing ‘Good morning,’ as his reply. He pulled her closer to his bare chest, rubbing their skin against each other.
An awkward silence filled the car while Shane was driving home. He would throw glances at Audrey who kept wearing a serious face that terrified the other. The trip was long and the actor wished he could make the car sprint to the villa just so to avoid Audrey’s occasionally cold gazes. After what happened back in the restaurant, Shane suddenly felt intimidated. Why not? Audrey effortlessly beat him almost to a pulp. If not for Nathan and Francesca’s interruption, pulling Audrey away from him, the actor would be less than admirable with his bruises. Well, he didn’t blame Audrey a bit. He was aware of her ‘violent’ side beforehand. After all, he earned a kiss from her in advance. It was more than sufficient for him.“Have you had dinner?” Audrey took the chance to break the silence when Shane was parking the car on the driveway. She took a peek at the time on her digital wristwatch. Sh
Tears welled-up in Audrey’s eyes when she finally saw the man she was longing for after a month which seemed to be years of waiting. Her hands automatically moved to reach out to his face, she caressed him softly with nothing but tears of joy in her eyes.“Shane…” Audrey called out his name again. She blinked her eyes several times to make sure she wasn’t dreaming but her tears just blurred her sight instead. Shane wiped her tears with his thumb and smiled at her. “Shane,” Audrey whispered. She had a lot of things to say but her mouth didn’t want to cooperate with her. All she could mutter was his name and it had been three times since she called him out.“Yes, baby. It’s me, I’m back,” was what Audrey heard him say. The lady still couldn’t believe her eyes, but she was genuinely glad to s
It had been a month since the last time Audrey saw Shane in person. She was missing him so much though she couldn’t lift her phone to dial his number nor compose a message. Her long face became her everyday mask. The staff in the restaurant were never tired of cheering her on. Not that she wanted to worry them, she could still do what she had to. And her current situation was something she had to face alone. She decided to trust Shane and while she was at it, Audrey thought it would be wiser not to bother the actor in the meantime. Calling him should be easy for her but who knew? Her action might cause him more trouble. She decided to wait, and she would endure it how long it may take.“Auddie, aren’t you going to take a break? You can let Nathan take your place for a while. You need to eat,” Francesca who became more talkative than usual said. She rarely talked in Italian thus the others could easily
The function hall was filled with media reporters coming from all over the city with their crew in tow. It was late in the evening, yet they couldn’t miss the rare opportunity to be present during one of the celebrity’s press conference. Especially when it was someone who never had any press con before unless it was regarding promoting his movies and shows. Not when it was about his personal life which people were more curious about.Camera flashes stopped and the hustling of the crowd slowly went down when the superstar and movie king, Shane Vargas stepped on stage. He was wearing the same suit he had when he attended the movie premiere earlier. With his inborn beauty and appeal, he took over everyone’s attention. The noise inside the hall died down when he prompted to speak on the mic prepared for him. “Good evening, everyone. Thank you for coming,” Shane started with his ‘charming tone’, ac
