2020-09-30 07:57:05Lights? 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.

“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

“Ms. Audrey, should I invite the young master inside? The sky suddenly went so dark with rain clouds, it must be going to pour heavily tonight,” the housekeeper said while watching her eat dinner. It was already past 7 in the evening and Audrey decided to eat something before she continued reading the book that caught her interest.“Rebecca, the sky would definitely turn dark since it's been a few hours that the sun had set. As for the rain clouds, he should know better if it's going to rain or not since he had been standing there outside since the morning,” Audrey commented and kept on munching her food. Honestly, she was still angry with what Shane did but it was slowly subsiding as time went by. Even so, it wasn’t enough to just simply accept his apology. Well, even Shane would apologize to her every day, she could never have brushed off the fact that he lied to her face.

How convenient it was to scream while crying in the middle of the rain. Audrey felt both colds from the rainwater and the warmth coming from Shane’s embrace. It was like the scene filmed under the bad weather where the main characters were soaking wet while letting out all their pent-up emotions. Shane caressed her back, whispering comforting words to her but to no avail, she could even barely hear it. Audrey could only listen to the sound of melancholic melody brought by the rain and the anxious beats of her heart which seemed to waver, again.If life was a battle and the losers were those who suffer the most while the winners are those on top, enjoying the success and all… Audrey would be neither. She had almost everything that not most of the girls have but wanted: money, beauty, and fame (she was known in her field of the profession) but was she actually a winner in life? No, because she was not happy? Yes,

Audrey’s moans were like music to his ears. Shane dipped his tongue deeper into her entrance as he inserted his finger as well. They only did it once before and Audrey’s thing looked beautiful as it was when he hadn’t rammed its inside yet. The fact that he took her first was one of the reasons why he couldn’t let go of her. She was his responsibility the moment she offered her everything to him.“AHH!” She pulled his hair when he increased the speed of his moving finger. He took a peek at Audrey’s flushed face. She looked so damn hot with her mouth slightly open and her needy eyes looking at him. Looking at her with that face, Shane wanted to do her hard.He didn’t plan to waste any minute, so he let go of Audrey’s leg and pushed her on the wall. She looked at him biting her lips as she was trying to emit any sou

The bright sunlight illuminated the entire bedroom. The downpour was over and the low pressure must have probably left the area. Based on how the sun was shining radiantly, a nice day was expected ahead.Audrey felt sore all around her body. After she accepted Shane’s proposal last night, she remembered they had a lot of fun, but she could barely recall how she ended up on the bed with her pajamas on. She moved to her side to see if Shane was there but to her disappointment, he wasn’t. She thought that maybe he went downstairs to get her food just like the last time. Audrey decided to go back to sleep to have enough rest. Without her knowing, another storm was broiling.&

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.

“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
