The trip to Nathan’s place was quiet. Francesca dare not to talk about anything while inside the car and the man was glad about it. He didn’t like the idea of letting his ex-lover to his apartment, but he already agreed to talk with her, and going back to his words was not his thing.
“Entra (Come in),” Nathan invited the woman when he opened the door to his flat. It was clean as usual and no speck of dust could be seen.
“Hai un bel posto (You have a nice place),” Francesca commented as she roamed her eyes around. A smile appeared on her lips while she reminisced some memories of the time she shared with the man who was now cold towards her.
“Grazie. Ma apprezzo se non ti abitui e te ne vai non appena il cosiddetto discorso di cui parlavi è finito (Thanks. But I
Sweet, feathery kisses fluttered on Audrey’s cheeks and all around her face. She smiled with her eyes closed and let the kissing monster continue. The scene she could only imagine for years had finally come alive. Like a princess in a fairy tale awakened by her prince’s true love’s kiss, Audrey slowly opened her eyes.“Good morning, baby,” Shane whispered to her ear. His breath tickled her skin and he knew it. He nibbled her ear. “How’s your sleep?”“It was great,” Audrey answered. She pulled his face in front of her and gave him a peck. “Good morning,” she greeted back. She was sleeping like a log last night while the man was wrapping her with his legs and arm. Audrey never felt so comfortable despite the occasional pain she had in her back and neck.“Breakfast should be ready. Let’s go downstairs after washing up,” Shane said and got on his feet. He offered his hand to help her up. “You want me to carry you to the bathroom?”She laughed at his remark. “No, I can still walk. Don’t tre
An immediate silence followed after Shane’s loud question. Audrey was alerted when she sensed agitation in his voice, thus she hurriedly went to the living room only to find Lucy with a blank expression on her face, sitting comfortably on her seat while staring at the actor who was glaring at her with clenched fists.“Was it you?” Shane asked his manager again. His voice was firm and it was undeniable how much he was trying to keep his cool.“Shane, I am your manager and I would no--” Lucy’s speech was cut off when the man raised his voice for the second time.“Tell me if it's you or not. If not, then who was behind this?!”Lucy took a deep breath as she massaged her temples. The pale pink nail polish pa
Audrey did her best to contain her emotion inside her when someone knocked on the door. She was about to mourn again after the joyous moments she had recently. It made her realized one thing, sadness always accompanied happiness and the two of them were never separated from each other.“Miss, Madam is on the phone and would like to speak with you.” It was the housekeeper’s voice.“All right. Give me a sec,” Audrey replied and carefully wiped her face. She opened the door and hand out her hand. “You can leave now,” she said after getting the wireless phone from Rebecca who was worriedly checking out her puffy eyes.“Yes, Miss. If you need anything just let me know,” the housekeeper responded and bowed her head before walking away.
Mrs. Vargas’ giggles echoed through Audrey’s ears. Her eyes were focused on the wall in front of her while Shane’s hands tighten its grip around her. She felt his chin on her right shoulder and his breath was fanning her neck. Audrey bit her lower lip to resist laughing due to the unbearable tickling sensation.“You smell so nice,” Shane whispered and nibbled on her ear. The gesture made her gasped which caused the other to smirk. “Why are you frowning, baby?” He asked her while rubbing the tip of his nose on her nape.“Hmm…” Audrey let out a moan when Shane planted small and soft kisses on her skin. “Shane… let me go,” she mumbled but couldn’t manage to struggle a little to support what she said. She just stood there and enjoyed what he was doing despite wanting him to let go.
The auditorium was filled with cheers and claps from all the people who came for the premiere night of Shane Vargas’ newest movie. The actor was flooded with praises for his phenomenal talent, surpassing the director’s and producer’s expectations again. His acting was always flawless but the role he got this time was not so easy for just anyone to take. The superstar and movie king nailed it in a blink of an eye. He did great thus he thought he deserved a break. The problem was the movie was so good and had the potential for being the biggest hit of the year. And this could mean that he wouldn’t get any vacation yet until his schedule was cleared.“Congratulations, Mr. Vargas. You surprised me again. Watching a movie where you play the main role is never tiring. You’re an epitome of a perfect actor, befitting to be called the king in the industry,” the movie producer, Mr. Reid, prais
“Thank you, everyone! The pre-open is finally over. Without your help, nothing is going to be accomplished by now. Everybody clap your hands to thank yourselves!” Audrey said while standing in front of her subordinates. The staff clapped their hands with a joyful smile on their faces. She smiled and raised a glass of wine before continuing her speech. “Now that we survive in the five-days pre-open event, it's time for us to give ourselves a break we all deserve! Let’s raise our glasses and cheers for our success! Cheers!” She exclaimed and signaled for the music to be played.Nathan was sighing as he turned on the speaker in a minimum volume with some random party music. He watched his boss mingled with the others while leading the rest to get drunk. Audrey had been in high spirits since two days ago and Nathan had nothing to say about it. He was glad she didn’t look glum despite the news
It was Friday night. The next day would be their most awaited- weekends. Everyone in the restaurant was having fun with loud noises as they spoke with each other. That included Audrey who had a few bottles of beer and several glasses of wine already. Francesca was unexpectedly a heavy drinker. She drank a lot but was still in her sane. While Nathan, although he did have some wine for himself, he chose to keep quiet in the corner and watch the others enjoy instead. As much as he wanted to get drunk, he couldn’t or his boss would have to sleep on the floor if no one could drive her home.“Auddie, can you still drink?” Nathan asked when the lady walked towards him with a wide smile on her face. She was surprisingly social when she had alcohol in her system.“I’m fine, Nate. Don’t mind me. Why don’t you join Francesca?” Aud
‘No, this isn’t right,’ was the first thought that came to Audrey’s mind when Nathan’s lips pressed against hers. She pulled her senses together to push the guy away as she subconsciously wiped her lips with the back of her hands.Sure thing, Nathan saw how she did it and could only laugh about it inside his head. The answer was clear: he stood no chance in Audrey’s heart when his rival already had all the vacancies in it.“Nate, why did you do that?” Audrey asked him. She didn’t sound angry nor disgusted. She did her best to keep calm and avoid any unnecessary conflict with the other. Her eyes caught a glimpse of Nathan’s lonely gaze. “Nate…”“Audrey,” Nathan started while grabbing her hands and locked them in between
