I must be going crazy again so I just covered my head with a blanket rather than see this man and my cheeks turned into a tomato from blushing so much."Yeah, but you still said I was handsome." itgrowled "Whatever! Go home! You're disturbing my rest!" I snorted under the blanket.I felt Bennet walk closer to my bed. In a moment, he unfolded the blanket that was covering him. I turned to him, no choice."What?!" I'm hungry "I was told not to disturb me! My head and throat hurt! And I'm irritated by---" I replied annoyed"Do you want to eat?" Bennet asked."Eh?" I was stunned and stared at Bennet."I asked if you wanted to eat?" when it repeats,I immediately sit on the bed. "Is that still being asked? Of course! Are you going to feed me? If so, hurry up because I'm hungry. Remember, you're in arrears with me. You're the one to blame for why I'm sick today, so it's your obligation to feed me- --"Bennet covered my mouth with his palm. "Shut up, wife. You're being loudmouth again."I w
Cole's POVIs it New Year's Eve yet? Why do I hear those raging and thundering fireworks from above? Or maybe, those fireworks didn't come from the sky... but from inside my heart.My heart... it was beating four times than the normal beatings. I'm starting to palpitate a little bit. Iwant to speak, but my mouth is being held captive by Bennet's masterful mouth. His lips were moving in wonderful motion it made my stomach churn. Bennet pinned me against the door, and one of his hands crawled from my arm to my back and the other wrapped tightly around my neck.Wow! He's strangling me! I mean, it's like he's choking me because I can't breathe. The feeling is indescribable. I've never been kissed before the way Bennet kissed me now.Knees jelly.Bennet's kiss was getting deeper and deeper, and he was also slowing down. No wonder, he's a good kisser. That's what I heard from my twin, Nicky.When I remembered my twin, I suddenly twitched. Guilt rushes inside me like running water. I rememb
Cole's POVBennet pushed Caroline away, but the girl won't budge. He is still wrapped around my husband."Ehmmm!" I can't stop tasting it. Phyton is testing me. Caroline is the new version of Anaconda. Not obvious python."Uhmmm!!" I can taste it stronger. 'The kind that makes my throat pop out from the intensity of the force.It's effective. Caroline turned to her.I immediately smiled at him... with plastic. Wave together. "Hello!" I congratulate you.With Caroline's attention on him, Bennet was able to push the girl away from his body. Very good. That Caroline is venomous, my husband might be killed.The phyton woman was surprised when Bennet pushed her. Her lips parted, but even so... she was still beautiful.Slap!But of course, I'm not affected that she's beautiful. I'm only half-insecure. Hehe."Er. I know you!" Caroline pointed to her as she clung to Bennet's arm again. "You're that Maintenance Girl from RedSphere, right? The one who caused trouble! I thought you've resigned a
The new guy winked at me. Eww."Long time no see, mi amore!" BENEDICT greeted cheerfully despite my shock. The man bent down and grabbed me by the arm to stand up but I swatted it away."Mi amore? You're disgusting, dude!" I snorted in his face. Yay! I'm terrified."Tsh! You really amused me to no end, Nicky. The NEW you is refreshing!" said the man softly but emphatically. I sensed danger behind his words and saw a glint of doom beneath his blue sapphire eyes. I don't know, but his eyes convey a strange message."BENEDICT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! IN ALL PLACES, AT MY TERRITORY?!"Bennet's voice echoed throughout the universe. My eardrums almost cracked from the loudness of his scream. You're the best, he's just behind me. I think all the decivels caught my ear.Awww!After a while, it was Bennet who pulled me upright. His face was evil when he turned to me."And you! Why are you so lazy?!" he snorted in my face."Sorry. I think I'm lacking in calcium supply..." I just said. Bennet
We stopped walking when we came across an open door.I immediately saw President Gunford in the room talking to some members of the GTE Board and RedSphere. But he turned to the door and saw Bennet and me.When our eyes met, I was surprised when the President smiled. It was a kind of warm smile. A smile I used to see from my father. My heart fluttered as I returned the smile. This time it's real. Not a fake. Whatever the fight that happened to me before with President Gunford, I think it's gone."Bennet, come over here," called the old man next to me.I heard Bennet jump lightly before removing the arm that was around me and turning to face me. He stared at my eyes."Wait for me here. We'll go home together. It's easy, okay?"I nodded. "I'm just here," I answered.And Bennet entered the room. I was left at the door. I sat by the door and just looked at Bennet talking to old Gunford.Hmmm. I think something is missing. I wonder where the phyton had gone. Caroline. Is he still shocked t
We no longer interfered in Bennet's nephew's affair. My husband and I just went for a walk again. This time on a mini-safari.We saw lots of dry land animals like giraffes, lions, cheetahs, etc. I'm enjoying myself to death. I also missed the outside world. For the past three months that I have not been with my National Geographic Team, I have missed a lot. I am too amused by things. I used to think that I wouldn't be able to leave the iguanas, tigers, zebras, hippopotamus, and others that I take care of at work.Well, I guess, Bennet is a more interesting animal than all of them.Bennet Leofwin is a roaring lion, king of the concrete and modern jungle. And I was like a tiny mouse, smitten by his power, scared at first but loving him as the time went by, not afraid to die even on his deadly paw.Tch. Mahal. The irony of it. So dumb."I'll go buy some food," Bennet said after a while when we finished looking at the Safari."Stay here," he added.I just nodded. I can't say anything. Fir
Nicky expertly held the tiger with the help of some Animal Control Unit officers."Where did this albino come from?" Nicky asked the officer."From the jungle of Zambia.""Zambia?" Nicky repeated as he slowly injected the tiger with medicine. He used to be a professional."Yes. She was caught by the locals and brought in by the black market. Luckily, she was saved and delivered here in California just a few days ago," explained the officer."So... it's a girl! Geez. So ferocious, I thought she's a boy," Nicky said with a smile, patting the tiger on the head that was now slowly closing its eyes. Effect of sleeping pills."Thank you for your help... Miss Nicky Alphonse, right?" the officer also said smiling.Why is that? Does the officer know Nicky's name? No. They seem to have known each other for a long time."No sweat. I suggest you transfer this little fellow to a cold weather environment with lots of natural trees. Not these bunch of trash," Nicky pointed to the trees. "It would be
I roamed around the dark hallways of the house until my feet found its destination...Nicky's room. I'm standing right in front of her door.I slowly turned the door lock and opened it.Amidst the darkness of the room... I can see an outline of a figure lying on the bed. A figure of a woman I long to touch at night.Due to the rush of warm feeling inside me, I looked around the room. I stepped my feet into Nicky's room.Her room was small. I purposely let her use the smallest room because I know Nicky is used to luxurious rooms. Her discomfort is what I want. Because I want to give back.But I was surprised that I didn't hear a single complaint from him. Sometimes I even saw him sleeping on the floor as if he was more comfortable lying there than a soft bed.That's when I started to wonder who the real Nicky was. Which to this day still amazes me.Just like Nicky... the room is simple. He didn't even bother to put up decorations or anything. I just saw two picture frames resting on th
