I pulled my sister out to the back door towards in the garden and my eyes narrowed when I saw that he was not there."Where? Nia asked curiously so I thought of a way."Hurt me, Nia." I said"Huh? Are you crazy?" She said and looked at me in shock."Go! Do it now!" I said excitedly."Why?" Confused, she said."Hurry up, hurt me! Push me, like that!" I said"Omg! Lia, look! There's handsome there!" She pointed somewhere so I turned around and shouted in shock when She suddenly pushed me, to my shock at what She did, I got out balanced so I fell, and my knee hit the piercing tiles there.It scratched my knee and it bled but nobody came for my rescue."Shit, Lia!" I saw Nia panic and sighed. "You're bleeding! You're crazy!" I just pity my lips and glance at my bleeding knee. "You asked me to push you!" she groaned, panicking"Why did you suddenly! I was not ready!" I hissedSuddenly, maybe out of nowhere, I saw a man walking towards me, he's serious and look irritated."Look at that, Lia--" I saw how my sister froze on the spot when she saw the man walking for my aid. She was in awe and amazement while he looks mad."What the hell are you doing?" I sighed as he angrily went in front of me.I was just like an idiot and my heart was beating fast. I almost jumped when he held my feet and extended it a little to see my wound."O-ouch!" I groaned a little"Y-you ..." I saw Nia pointing at Phoenix without turning around and just checked my knee.I saw him took a glance at the bloody tiles and his jaw clenched, his forehead crease as he stared coldly at me and spoke."Why are you so stubborn?" he said emphatically."I'm not! I exclaimed." I just stumbled! I have no intention of getting hurt-- ""Really, huh? Cause I heard you cheering excitedly while asking your friend to push you." He firmly said.You are dead now, Lia. The handsome man heard what you said."You’re too fast coming down here." I murmured"I jumped." It was as if he just said nothing and I sighed without saying, he lifted me up in the air.I hugged his nape, he put his strong, calloused arms around me, his other hand at the back of my knee and the other one on my back.He then looked at my still amazed friend and spoke."Can you find the first aid?" He said and my stupid brother nodded quickly.Jesus, my sister will ruin me."Sure. Sure!" She exclaimed and looked at me."Lia, it looks like you have party time! She exclaimed and before I could even say something she ran to the back door.I can feel the heat of Phoenix's body as he held me closer to his chest. I noticed he changed from a formal suit to a simple white shirt and a dark camouflage cargo pants.His scent invaded my senses, his smells mint and body shower, natural and musk, addicting.I did not notice that we had reached the living room of the house and I was gently laid on the sofa and Ashton was surprised to see me."Lia ?!" He suddenly stood up and came in front of me, I was just surprised when Phoenix turned him around and took his place opposite me, frowning at me."Here's the kit, handsome!" Nia said that Phoenix immediately reached out and I sighed when she knelt in front of me and gently touched my thigh.I shivered with that, I felt something weird in my stomach with that sudden act."It's me! I can clean her wound!" Ashton said, also kneeling in front of me and trying to snatch the wound from Phoenix so Phoenix looks irritated."I can do it." Phoenix said loudly, frowning and looking cold."I can too! I'll clean up-""I can do it." Phoenix said loudly, frowning and looking cold."I can too! I'll clean up-""I'm a Doctor." Phoenix said coldly to Ashton and inhaled Nia who was currently standing not far from where we were sitting. "I know what I am doing so I can." His lips formed a thin line, looking so annoyed and mad. "I am, and I will always be."Yes, you are.I hid a smile, simply glanced at my brother who was standing not far from where we were sitting.When I glanced at Phoenix, he looked irritated at me so I turned around suddenly and felt my wound."O-ouch, it hurts so much!" I acted like it's so painful"Really?" Ashton panicked and I almost jumped when I felt his hand on my leg "Where, Lia?""U-uhm." I swallowed."Miss, can you give me a pillow?" Phoenix said coldly and Nia quickly took the pillow and handed it to Phoenix.I was startled when Phoenix pulled my dress down to cover my leg, he simply tapped Ashton's hand and quickly placed the pillow on my thigh."Pinch the pillow if it hurts." He said and I just nodded to myself.I was amazed looking at him as he quickly and softly cleaned my wounds. Even though it hurts, I feel a little pain in what he is doing there.He cleaned my wound expertly and covered it with a bandage and I was just amazed there as I watched him finish it.He then stood when he's done fixing me and clicked his neck. He closed the kit and stared coldly at me so I bit my lip."T-thanks." I murmured softly and smiled but he didn't give me one.Instead, he looked away without saying anything, clenched his jaw and turned his back at me, seriously annoyed and walked away.Rugged but my heart was so pleased and soften with his kind move.I watched him walk away and the angels around me almost sang while looking at his body and oh, the booty, the bulge."Are you okay?" I just realized that Ashton greeted me, and Nia shuddered at me as she leaned over me.I spent my day bonding with Ash and Nia, we also couldn't bond for a long time, because Nia was busy. We watched a couple of movies and couldn't move because of the wound on my knee.I never saw Phoenix again but I knew he was just around and watching."I have to go, Lia." I noticed the sadness on Aston's voice."Okay, Ash. Thanks for coming over." I smiled a little"Welcome, get well, okay? If I have time tomorrow, I'll come and visit you." He saidI nodded and smiled, I glanced at Nia who was also fixing the bag because I was making Ash with her so she wouldn't go home alone.Her husband intended to fetch her but I told her not to and nothing would be left at home if not for the babysitters.When he glanced at me, I smiled. She rolled her eyes. I laughed and slowly approached him, because I was sure someone would say this."Hey, witch. You owe so much story. I'll call you later when I get home!" He said and laughed I nodded."All right, tell me the whole story." I winked at her and she laughed and waved and kissed my cheek,"Take care, sis. I'll see you, say my hello to Mom and Dad." I nodded at her.When they left, I roamed my eyes around the house.Now, what will I do? Jeez.L I A N AI sighed, I clung to the sofa and stepped into the kitchen when someone suddenly held my waist. I jumped in shock, I quickly jumped up and was stunned to see Phoenix holding my waist and supporting me on the walk."P-Phoenix," I murmured.He didn't say anything nor took a glance at me, he silently supported me towards dining and presented me and helped me sit down."Oh, Sir, come, join Lia!" Kary said to PhoenixI took a glance at Phoenix and saw him shook his head with a small smile."I'm good.”' He saidKary served food and I glanced at Phoenix who was just standing quietly on the side."Let's eat," I invited. He looked at me,
L I A N A"Ma'am Lia! Are you okay?" I met Kary after I left the room the next day."Well!" I giggled and placed my hand on my waist. "Super cool!" I even dance in front of her."Where are you at, Kary?""Oh, just cleaned the guest room, someone will be using that from now on." she said and I just nodded, wondering.We have a visitor?"Oh, by the way, Ma'am, your Mommy and Daddy are downstairs." she said and my eyes widened and got excited."Oh my God! Thank you!" I giggled happily and almost ran downstairs.I was just on the stairs when I heard the voice of my Mom and Dad talking. My grin widened, high as I went down the stairs and was about to go to
L I A N A“We actually tried setting her up with blind dates,” Daddy said looking comfortable with Phoenix. "But she easily ignores them, after the blind date then boom, goodbye.""Because they weren't interesting!" I said. "They are super chatter, I'm annoyed. Pure self -talk. I prefer boys who's listening, with thrill, quiet. Who will hear your thoughts first before boasting about themselves.”? My nose.When I glanced at Phoenix, I saw his earnest look. I saw his blazing green eyes, cold and unmoving, just staring at me. His jaw clenched a bit and then licked his lower lip."There, there's nothing like that in real life, Liana Baker, just in that book you
L I A NAI blinked, my friends blinked and shut me up. While I was startled, Ash was blushing and chuckled at that."Take care of my Lia. I’m going to marry her soonest" He said and messed up my hair.Lacy pushed me with her shiver and I almost hit her when I lost my balance. My friends teased me but I keep on shaking my head, laughing.Ash has left but their teasing continues. Lacy was about to tweak me but my gaze was fixed on Phoenix who was just quiet there and looked straight where, obviously irritated. Hungry for sure? He didn't have lunch."When will you answer?" Julian asked me, teasing."I don't actually know," I shook my head. "I am not ready."
L I A N AI woke up early, even though I wasn't taking a bath, I was quick and almost ran to the bathroom to wash and brush.I was grinning and almost dancing while staring at myself in the mirror and combed my hair.What a beautiful morning! I am so beautiful!I don’t know but I have a lot of energy today, after I got dressed, I combed my hair with my finger and applied a thin lip tint. I even put powder on my face and put a light red tint on my cheek too to make it blush more but all in all, it looked natural.When I was satisfied, I quickly went out of the bathroom and arranged wearing a spaghetti strap and shorts. I put on my slippers and checked my bandage before glancing
L I A N AHe cleared his throat, his cheeks almost flushed but I smiled at him and spoke."You looked more handsome when you laugh," I murmured softly and bit my lip."Anyway," He said and lowered his gaze on my knees. He knelt down in front of me again and reached for my thigh while I just smiled there. "It's okay, you don't have to wrap it on a bandage.""Not that okay," I sighed."You're crazy," he said and I sighed as he patted my knee."Phoenix!" I groaned when it stung and I kicked him there so he laughed again and laid my foot on the floor, read his lips before standing in front of me and combing his hair."Go, woman, chang
L I A N A"Liana, come on, you should eat." Ash chased after me but I remained silent and closed my eyes."Liana," I felt Ashton touched my arm so I shrugged and glanced at him."I'm not hungry, Ash." I sighed. "Thank you for the food, I'll eat it later, I just ... I just don't feel like it right now.""Is it about that?" His forehead creased."It's nothing," I avoided and bit my lip. "It's just that I don't feel like eating right now. I'll eat if I'm hungry. Thank you for the food."He nodded, when he released my arm, I quietly left him and went to Daddy's ally to greet him."What exactly?" Lacy suddenly grabbed my arm and glanced into the kitchen. "What's wrong with Ashton?"
L I A N AWhat the heck di I just said?"Just come with me," Ash insisted."It would be better if he rode with Phoenix," Lacy added. "You know, Uncle will campaign, it's better ..." My sister gave Mom a stare and it looked like Mommy got it."Oh, right!" She seemed to remember something. "It's safer if Liana will ride with him.""But Auntie--""It's okay, Ash, you'll see Liana there too." Mommy said so Ashton left with no choice but to stay quiet and I could almost dance with joy and simply pinched Lacy who was laughing next to me and simply whispered."Mission: Get my sister watered." She whispered so I slapped her thigh and she laughed.
"Cheer up, Liana!" Lacy panty tried lifting my mood but I just frowned. I was silently eating the foods we ordered, not taking a glance at the two people."Let's go home then ..." I said sadly and sipped the juice."Goodness, no!" She hissed. "Is that so? We still don't know what those two really are, Liana! You're just going to give up?""That ... was obviously his girlfriend." I murmured."Why? How did you say that?""They hugged and ...""As if you weren't hugging a friend!" Lacy panty rolled her eyes. "I know it hurts, even if I'm hurt 'dun but let's not conclude right away! You know and just friend!"I sighed, I bit my lip and nodded."Come on ... maybe we'll find out more and maybe they'll say I'm dead." I sighed.
So, what I did to get revenge was to harass him. I swam back and forth in the pool then slowly, I climbed to the other edge, close to where he was practicing.I lifted myself a bit, placing both of my arms on edge, making sure my breast, covered with a yellow bikini was seen by him.I saw him stopped in the middle of their punches so what I did was go even higher, I made sure to see my chest before smiling tenderly.When he was pre-occupied, I smirked and Licked seductively and I almost blushed when I saw the guard's punch hit Phoenix's cheek.He grunted in pain, I suddenly burst out laughing and shouted."Number one rule, don't get distracted. Focus, Lieutenant!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, laughing at his misery and when he glared at me, I bit my lip and slowly sank into the pool.I fini
Good morning, Ma'am!" Ate Kary smiled when she greeted me but I remained frowning."Ah, you’re not in the mood Ma'am? What happened? You can't approach Sir Phoenix?" She said so I sniffed and looked at her."Phoenix who?" I asked."Sus, Ma'am!" Ate Kary laughed and slapped my arm. "Don't deny him.""I don't even know someone named Phoenix," I said lightly and Ate Kary laughed at me.It's been a week but I was still annoyed at that man! I'm not in the mood, and should be coaxed but it's different! He just smiles every time I smile so I'm very irritated!Damn it!"It's really Ma'am," he laughed and later pointed out something. "Sir Phoenix is in the garden.""Oh, what is he doing there?" I walked to the door and Ate K
“Okay,” He breathes."Do you believe me now?" My smile widened."Hmm," He nodded and slowly walked while I hold his arm. "You should sleep.""You? How about that thing on the second floor?""It's nothing, don't worry about it." He said and I never asked again."So ... how are we?" I asked, following him to the kitchen.I sat on the stool and I saw him took two glasses of water and gave me one."I'm not mad," He said and drank but I couldn't believe it."Weh?" My brow raised."Alright, I'm mad." He said rudely and I almost gasped when he unbuttoned his dress shirt."Oh ..." I gasped and licked my lips. "Has this been watered?"I saw him stopped, his jaw
Maybe my face was already tomato -colored with my heart beating so fast.Phoenix was still holding my waist while Lily had been glancing at me earlier. I noticed herinsecurity; someone was speaking in front of me and my cousin and I were sitting at a table nearby.I noticed Cain staring at me too, he looked back and forth at Phoenix and me while my date was quiet beside me."Hey," I called Phoenix's attention so he glanced at me. "Are you tired?""No," He smiled a little, I felt his caressed on my palm again so I gently leaned on his shoulder and closed my eyes."You?" He whispered; I felt his nose touching my hair."Not yet," I murmured and looked at him. "But you owe me." I grinned when I noticed him froze."I only said that--"
"Liana, dear!" I lost my attention to Phoenix when I heard my Aunt's voice.My eyes shifted from him and I immediately stood there."Hi aunt!" I greeted happily and he immediately hugged me."How's life?" She asked, when I glanced at Uncle Ramon, I hugged him and smiled."Doing great," I smiled happily at her."Really? How's your parents? Are they okay?""Yes, Auntie." I nodded slightly. "They really want to go here but the accident yesterday isn't a joke, they have to go to the police station to file a report.""Did anyone get hurt?" Aunt Joan asked and I shook my head."Only minor injuries to the guards, everyone is safe.""It's really hard in politics, dear." Uncle Ramon said. "Are you? There are no threats?"
"I have a proposition to make," I clasped my hand as I stared at Phoenix who was seriously driving the car.Wearing his all-black dark tuxedo, he looks dashing. I saw how his strong arms maneuvered the car for a turn, his vein protruding a bit from his skin."What?" He asked, not looking at me."Uhm, it's just a word." I spoke. "I will say my wish and you'll do it then if you have a wish of your own then I'll make it happen too. Deal?""I don't do deals," He answered, staring briefly at me for a while."Why not?" My lips protruded. "Isn't it a good thing? At least, don't you have a wish too?"He didn't say a word, he seemed to be thinking deeply. His thick brows almost met when his forehead creased and I gasped softly when I caught him licking his lower lip erotically.
"You know, if I were you, Liana, I wouldn't be flaking anymore." I turned to Lacy panty when she spoke."Huh?""I'm telling you, flirt with Phoenix." She looked at me."We don't greet today so, no.""Oh, why? Because it's better to water the orchids than the ones in your shrouded garden?" My eyebrows met more than what he said and he kicked me so that he collapsed."I want to flirt ... with dignity!" I said and pouted. "We're still at Wren so not yet.""Jeez, as if he'll say sorry." Said. "Use your Liana ninja moves. As if, if you're only twenty-six, go ahead, you'll be a Filipina girl but you're about to go past the calendar, Liana.""What will I do?""Come on! Don’t be too soft and move!" He raised his hand for conviction and I was stu
The next morning, I woke up feeling alive. To my surprise I immediately noticed that I was in the room so I quickly sat down.My forehead creased when I saw a paper covering my sight a bit, I immediately took the paper glued to my forehead and read.Took you to your room early in the morning. Your father might see you on my room. You may be scolded.Even if that's all it contains, it makes me smile.He’s concern! He’s concern!I giggled, quickly groomed myself and adjusted my shirt and short shorts before leaving the room.I almost ran down the stairs but I couldn’t when I saw Mommy and Daddy’s intensive conversation."Hi, Mom!" I smiled when I saw them so they turned to me."Darling," My father called, I approached them and kissed o
