"I don't know what you did to me Lana but I don't know how to resist you. I've always craved you." -ANDREW-
"HEY!" It was late, and Andrew found out that his sister Samantha was still awake. His sister faced him with a smile. "I thought you weren't coming home?" She then took a glass, put some ice in it, and then poured just the right amount of wine. "I came from Lana's house." The young man couldn't help but widen his smile after mentioning that name. With a teasing smile on her lips, Samantha replied. "You look so happy and contented, Andrew," she said, sipping the wine from her own glass. Andrew smiled again at what he heard. "I also can't understand myself. But that's true; I'm content and happy now. I've never felt like this before, just now," the young man said without wiping the smile from his lips. "When will you introduce me to them?" Samantha asked him again. Andrew shrugged his shoulders before answering. "Anytime," he winked at his sister afterward. "Oh, by the way, before I forgot, Patricia called me; she said she's having a hard time contacting you." Andrew did not repl
Lana cannot avoid being affected by her friend's behavior. She is aware of his feelings for her. But she didn't expect the pain she saw to draw in his eyes when Marius stared at her. "Do you have a problem, Lana?" Mama Cecille asked when she joined her at the table where she was quietly having coffee. Lana sighed and then glanced at her aunt. Then lift the mug of coffee and sip there before speaking. "I'm confused, Mama," she said, looking down to hide her tears. "Why? Where are you confused?" Lana sniffed and then tried to control her emotions. She knew that being emotional would not help at such times. "Because Marius was here lately. You're still asleep, so you haven't seen him," she said, sipping coffee again. Her aunt nodded. "Leave right away too." With that question, Lana felt a seemingly sharp pain in her chest. "I'm hurting him, M-Mama," and the young lady's voice broke again. Lana felt her eyes warm again. But, as much as possible, she did not want to cry. So again, sh
“I never thought that it was possible for me to be as happy and content as this,” Andrew said while driving. They were driving back home. After attending a mass, they had lunch in a restaurant. And then Andrea asked her father if they could go into an amusement arcade. And of course, Andrew gave his daughter what she wanted. So, the ending is that, because of tiredness, the important thing is that she enjoyed her Sunday. Andrea is now having a well-deserved sleep in the backseat. Lana smiled, then glanced at the young man. And because she remained silent, Andrew spoke again. She was even surprised when he took her hand and squeezed it gently. “Do you think we can give it a try? asked Andrew, who remained so focused on the road. Lana's heart was beating so fast at that moment. She felt like she was electrified by Andrew's grip on her hand. "I know I told you to think about it first. That I am not in a hurry. But why do I feel like I've been scared since I met Marius?" then Andrew tu
"ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?" Mama Cecille's tone of voice was happy but the shock that Lana was expecting was not there so she was the really surprised one."That's all you're going to say, Mama?" unable to bear it she even asked at the same time as the inadvertent meeting of her eyebrows.Her Mama Cecille laughed then shifted her gaze to her and Andrew who was smiling while listening to their conversation. "What reaction are you expecting from me, Lana? Don't you like it like this? I'm really happy and that is the truth?” she said. "My granddaughter will finally be able to experience how it is to have a whole family. What other reaction is needed but to be happy?" her aunt continued.Lana couldn't speak there and instead glanced at Andrew who was next to her on the long sofa while Andrea was sleeping soundly in her room at that time."I give you my blessing, I hope and want you to be happy because you made the right decision," Mama Cecille's last words were meaningful although Lana didn
"Are you kidding?" Marius asked her with disbelief a few days after her formal engagement with Andrew.Marius was in her office when he surprised her with a visit. From the papers she was reading, Lana looked up. "Do I look like I'm kidding?" she knew Marius didn't like what she said. But because the young man was important to her, she chose to ignore it and make a joke and then follow what she said with a weak laugh.Marius let out a bitter laugh. "I really don't understand you, Lana," he said then let out a heavy sigh.That was when her chest went up and down and then she decided to look back at the paper she was holding. "Actually, aside from Mama you are another person I know can understand my decision," she tried to hide the resentment in his voice but he failed.Marius let out a weak laugh before straightening his seat. "Don't you understand Lana? Oh, you're just really numb?"That's when she stared at her best friend. "What? Did I hear it right what you just call me?""Yes! Si
Lana was in such a state when her cell phone rang. She picked it up to find out who was calling. Her chest throbbed quickly and automatically when she saw that it was Andrew.In an instant, all the sadness she had felt earlier because of her argument with Marius immediately disappeared. Instead, that was replaced by a mixture of nervousness and excitement that eventually made her smile."Hey," Andrew opened in his happy tone.Lana replied with a wide smile. "Hi, is everything okay?" she asked in response to the young man."Can you do me a favor sweetheart?" Andrew's tender question to her in a tone she knew she could not refuse."Sure, as long as I can," she thought to answer even though she really knew deep inside her that 'yes' would be the answer in the favor Andrew wanted to ask.She heard the weak laugh that Andrew let out first before speaking again. "Can you come over here?”Lana's eyebrows met then inwardly glanced at the wristwatch she was wearing. "Your timing is just perfect
"By the way, sweetheart, I would like you to meet my sister, Samantha. Anyway, you can call her Sam," Andrew said as Samantha approached to greet them. "Sam, this is Lana," Andrew continued.With a nice smile, Samantha hugged her and then kissed her on the cheek. "I am so happy to finally meet you," she said in a lively tone."Same here, Sam," she said without hiding the excitement in her voice because it was surprising that she felt so relieved with the woman in front of her."I hope you can visit the house; bring my niece with you. I also want to meet her.” She is talking about Andrea.Lana nodded, then smiled, looking up at Andrew. "No problem; I'm sure you'll get along, especially, and you look very much alike," she would tell the truth.A kind smile broke out of Samantha's lips again. "That’s nice to hear. Anyway, I am afraid that I need to leave you. I have some jobs left upstairs. Your boyfriend did not stop until he convinced me, so I was forced to leave them," she said to Andr
JUST as Andrew expected, the food ordered by his secretary was already prepared downstairs. After eating the young man invited her to the rooftop. For a while, they just remained silent and sat side by side in the loveseat that was there. When Lana's head got tired, she then thought of leaning it on Andrew's shoulder."Why don't you seem active in showbiz right now?" she thought to ask then played with Andrew's fingers that had been holding her hand for quite some time.She heard the sigh released by the young man. "The truth is that I think I want to quit," he said.Lana was shocked by what she heard. "Huh why?" she asked."Maybe I'm just tired. I feel like I want a normal and private life," he said turning to her then bent down and kissed her forehead. "I want a new life with you and Andrea, that's the truth," she said smiling then bent down again and kissed her on the lips.Andrew's words touched Lana's heart. She couldn’t understand why all this was happening but she admitted that
Lana's eyes immediately warmed as she looked at a familiar cottage that for almost five years it’s just now that she had seen again. It was at the same resort in Palawan where she and Andrew first met."Are you okay?" then she was stunned when she heard that amuse question from her husband.With tears in her eyes, Lana looked up at her husband.At all times Lana always tries not to be emotional. Especially when it is for her daughter. Because for her, she would not be able to think clearly if she would give in to her emotions.But at that moment, she didn’t know if it was because of the extreme joy she was feeling. Or was it because of all the hardships she went through before she met the man, she loved the most? So, it was as if she feels like she wanted to hug Andrew, bury her face in his wide chest and pour out all her emotions in there?Eventually, her tears seemed to have a mind of their own that spontaneously flow and wet her face.She just let them go.She was very happy. And sh
TWO MONTHS LATERAndrew looked sadly at the still unconscious Lana. Two months after the accident Patricia committed, his girlfriend remained inside the hospital. In the ICU where he waits for the return of the woman he loves, every day.At the thought, he angrily clasped his fist.Patricia is currently in jail, and he has no plans to drop the lawsuit against her. She hurt Lana and it was only right that she pays for the wrong she did to the woman he was going to marry."Sweetheart, come back, Andrea and I really miss you," he whispered while still staring at the glass wall of the ICU.He did not know if this was his karma for all the mistakes he had made before. If only he was the one suffering, that's okay. But because of him, Lana also suffered. And he can't accept that thing.He knew that in Lana's condition now there was no definite time when she is going to wake up. At the thought, the sigh he let out was heavy and then he smiled bitterly when he thought
CRYING while trembling with anger Patricia consumed all the wine in her glass. Then she stare again at the new issue of a magazine with the face of her most hated woman in the world on the cover. None other than Lana.It's been a month since she and Andrew last spoke in his office and just as the young man told her. He has not even renewed his contract with the agency.Patricia sniffed and then wept as she refilled her glass. She knew everything Andrew said was true. She knew she couldn't be angry with the young man no matter what else he did. But she is in so much pain and she can't blame everything on the man for how much she loves him."There's only one person to blame for all this. And that’s you, I hate you! I hate you so much, whore!" her furious shout that referred to Lana then threw the glass she was holding.She wanted to be hysterical, she wanted to kill someone, and she wanted to retaliate right now. That's why her hand seemed to have a mind of i
"I PROMISE," Lana smiled sweetly before caressing the young man's face.That's all and Andrew kissed her. At the same time, Andrew's hand was remained moving and exploring every part and curve of Lana's body.Moments later as Lana’s eyes remained closed, she felt the seemingly gentle caress of something on her body that was causing a strange horror and delicious sensation to her.She opened her eyes and let go of kissing the young man. It was then that she found out that Andrew was holding a rose that the young man was caressing on her nakedness.Lana's heart was filled with heat because of what her boyfriend had done. Then Andrew kissed her again. At that time the flower was no longer in his hand, so she moaned when she felt his manhood gently touched the jewel between her thighs.Lana gasped because of the delicious sensation that the man had brought to her. Then she also did her own exploration of Andrew's body. Until her hands finally moved to his furious manh
"L-LOVE? You love me?" Lana asked incredulously as tears continued to flow down her cheeks.When the young man remained to kneel in front of her then his hands touched her face. "I love you so much Lana," Andrew brought his face close to hers and then kissed her tenderly.The young lady cried even more when she heard that. "R-Really?" when Andrew released her lips.Andrew nodded then stared at her. "If I only knew that it feels so good to let you know how I really feel for you, I would have confessed to you sooner. I'm so sorry if I made you wait to hear what you need to hear," she felt in the young man the sincerity of his words that filled Lana’s heart with great happiness even more."I love you too Andrew, I love you so much. You and Andrea are my world now," she would tell the truth and then caressed the face and hair of the man she loved.The young man nodded in succession. "I will give everything I have just to make you happy. I will do everything just t
IT WAS six o'clock in the evening when Andrew and Samantha finished. Exhausted, the young man decided to spend the night in the condo unit because it was closer to Scott's branch where he came from. The young man was just getting in his car when he heard his phone ring. Samantha came home first and was just picked up by their family driver.Andrew immediately smiled when he read whose name was registered on his phone screen. He felt as if all the tiredness he was feeling had suddenly disappeared, so he didn't wait for it and hurriedly answered the call.*****A BEAUTIFUL smile broke from Lana's lips after that conversation with Andrew. The young lady remained to stare at the beautiful white lace curtain she had placed on the four poster-bed in Andrew's penthouse.She knew Andrew would like that and she couldn’t wait for a possible reaction from him.Lana quietly arranged the two wine glasses in the center of the coffee table. She didn’t know why she was doing this
Lana shook her head and let out a deep sigh at what the woman in front of her said. And as much as possible, she didn’t want to lose her composure because of this. It was okay to be kind, but this time, and from the contour of the woman's tongue, she didn't seem to need her kindness."I know you heard me, you're not deaf, are you?" Rhyza's steady question.It was then that Lana leaned her back against the back of her swivel chair. "Yeah, I heard you," she said calmly then smiled at the woman.Rhyza's eyes immediately widened, and she seemed to be impatient that she was even able to hit her hand on the top of her desk and then pointed a finger at her. "Damn you girl, I'm serious. I said, I'm pregnant and Andrew is the father!" she stared at her angrily.Lana refrained from smiling but she couldn't help it. "You're funny," she said laughing softly again.She saw that Rhyza's face reflected the intense irritation that she feels for her. "I'm not joking!” she said emp
"SO, finally we met," Patricia said when he invited her to his office at Scott's Cafe's head office that same day.Andrew just smiled then made the woman sit down. “There are things I just want to discuss personally with you,” he said.Patricia laughed softly and then seductively crossed her beautiful and smooth legs. "I guess, about your contract?" she picked up the cup of coffee and drank.That was when Andrew straightened up and then stared straight into the woman's eyes. "I want to apologize for everything I've done to you," the young man begins.Patricia's eyebrows met along with the rapid clouding of her eyes. "What are you talking about?" her perplexing question.Andrew took a deep breath then kept staring into the young woman’s eyes. "I'm quitting show business, Pat. I'm not going to renew my contract to the agency," in a low but refined tone, that was what Andrew said.*****"MA'AM Lana, someone is looking for you," said
"STOP calling me! I can't give you any information about Andrew!" Patricia's irritable growl at Rhyza, who was last in a relationship with Andrew before the real villains returned to her life,. None other than the young man's daughter and its mother, Lana. "Aren't you his manager? Why can't you find a way for me to talk to him?" Rhyza's persistence in her tone is already sly. Patricia's eyes rolled in annoyance. She had always really not liked this woman because, well, she had to admit that she was actually more beautiful and seductive compared to her. But of all the women in and who have been in Andrew's life, this was the only one who dared to command and dictate to her. Patricia smiled bitterly. She was indeed happy when she heard about the separation between Andrew and Rhyza. Who and for what reason or who broke up she no longer knew. What is important to her is that her rivalry with the young man be reduced. But now, if only she could do something, she would want to put everyt
