Seven-Hannah Mae De Vera's POV –I was looking down as I put my hands together. I'm kind of unsettled with this idea dropping by at King's house. He invited me for a dinner and I said yes to it without thinking. And now, here I am. Dealing with my cold chills in my palms as my heart beats fast.“Hey, cool it.” I heard him say as he glanced at me, “My mom is good and friendly. She will like you.”I lifted my eyes to see a glimpse of his face with a small smile and I looked back down, “I hope so.”I didn't notice that we were standing on the porch until he took a deep breath. I lifted my head as I looked at him. He seems tense but he tried to act calm. He looked at me when he noticed that I was staring at him. He forced a tense chuckled that made me feel even awkward.“I’m sorry. It’s my first time to introduce a girl to my mother.” His smile was so innocent and sincere.I softly chuckled as I looked down and played with my fingers, “It’s also my first time to be introduced by a guy.”
Eight-Hannah's POV –“Sweetie, it’s almost 7 am. Why aren't you dressed yet?” I heard my mother's soft voice.I turned my head halfway to see her worried face, walking towards me. I grab my milk from the small table in front of me and take a sip.I was sitting on the couch of our living room. Completely lost in my thoughts. I don't know why I had this heavy feeling after King invited me to his house. His grandfather's reaction keeps on crossing in my mind. It feels weird to me that he knew my mother and Veronica? He called me Veronica back there. Does he mean my Grandma Veronica?After sipping my milk, I put it back on the table. I looked down as I pressed my palms together. I felt my mother sat next to me and I could also feel her eyes staring at me. But I didn't bother to look at her. I was drowned in my thoughts.“Penny of thoughts, sweetie?” Her voice was so calming and soft but behind that I could sense her concern.I swallowed as I took the courage to open up to her, “Mom, do
Nine-Daniel King's POV –I was leaning my back against my locker as I was waiting for someone to pass by. I already made an excuse to Hannah so she went to our classroom ahead of me. I am so bothered about the report cards that I saw in Hannah's Science textbook, including the old photo. Well, about that photo, I stole it from her and I had it in my pocket. I let my instincts get the best of me so I ended up in this. I just have this anxious feeling that I need to know this. Though it makes me uncomfortable, something from the back of my mind tells me to do this.Finally, I saw him approaching with his company. They were hardly laughing for something that their voices echoed in the entire hallway. When he saw me looking at him, he surpassed his laughter but still wearing his mocking smile.“Hey genius, did you just saw a hunk actor?” Sanchez mocked as he smirked and his company chuckled.I faked a smile, “I need my report card, Sanchez. I need to return it to Mrs. Onevic as possible
Ten-Daniel King's POV -I saw my grandpa warming up in front of the main door, the moment I step out of my bedroom. He used to have a jogging routine every weekends, early in the morning. I wanted to talk about something important to him so coming up with an idea of tagging along with him would be the best way.“Going on a jogging, grandpa?” I asked as I was approaching him.He breath out, “As usual, son.” He paused as he raised his brows, “You know, getting older means getting more exercise.”I gave him my warm smile, “Can I tag along? I also feel like going on a jogging.”He narrowed his eyes at me like he was examining my smiling face, “Okay.” He shrugs, “I hope you can keep up.”I wear my usual smile and grandpa opens the door. We both step outside as the cold breeze of March hits our skin. I wear a hoodie to cover my head and ears while grandpa wears a singlet and a face towel around his neck.We started to walk for a few miles but I didn't sweat too much. Just a few droplets f
Eleven-Hannah Mae's POV –I was sitting on the couch when I heard the door crack. I hope it’s mom and grandma. They went on a jogging early this morning and I forgot to ask mom about our photo album. You know, family tree. Project in Arts.I lifted up my head to have a good look at the door. And good thing that I saw mom entered and followed by grandma behind her and closed the door.“What took you so long?” I approach them.Mom turned her head at me and she was taking deep breathes as she was approaching towards me.“Do you really need to yell?” She respond under her breath and sat on the couch across me. She reaches for the towel on her shoulder and wipes her sweat away.I was about to open my mouth and released a protest when I got interrupted by grandma.“We happened to see your classmate, dear.” Grandma inform as she sat next to me.I narrowed my eyes at her and grandma tu
Twelve - Daniel King's POV – I’m at the locker hallway taking slow steps towards the room. Lost in thoughts. After what I heard from grandpa, I started to overthink things. Random possibilities keep on flashing in my mind. It gets me more uneasy. Later on, I suddenly flinch when I feel something warm on my cheek. I quickly turned to find out what was that and I saw Hannah smiling at me. She was holding a two regular sized of coffee cups. I blink as I get my thoughts together. My heart slowly beating fast as I looked down. Should I say hi to her? Should I even smile back? She extends her arm and hands me the coffee on her left “Coffee?” Her voice was so cheerful and sweet to my ears. It will be rude if I reject it so I slightly move my eyes to get a small view of the coffee and take it from her hand. “Thanks.” I murmured without looking at her. “Do you have an answer to our science assignment?” She asked. Her voice was normal but it has this effect in me that makes me calm. W
Thirteen - Hannah Mae’s POV – I could feel glances from everyone in the room while we are doing our group activity. Everyone might seem to be busy with the activity but I could vaguely hear gossips about me and King. Like hello? It’s none of their business. Why are they butting their noses? “De Vera, are you done with the task 5?” One of my group mates asked me. They probably notice that I am completely far away from this world. “Uh… Yeah…” I answered out of senses. I immediately opened my book and look for a piece of ¼ sheet of paper where I wrote my answer. I hand it over to our team leader, Clarisse, and she takes it from me. I catch King looking at me from the corner of my eye. I immediately turn to him and meet his gaze but by the moment I lay eyes at him, he is already looking away. Everything feels awkward after he woke up from a few minutes of maybe shock after I kissed him. We all sat in a circular form and he sat across me. He was poking his pen in his paper while look
Fourteen - Daniel King’s POV – “Hey…” I heard a soft voice behind me. I was tidying my things when I look over my shoulder. Hannah was standing behind me with a small smile. “Hey.” I replied as I zip my backpack and put the straps on my shoulder before turning to her. She looks down when our eyes meet as she put her hands together, “Can we talk? Please?” She sounded like she was hesitating. I exhaled. Her voice sounded like she was begging. Don't be like that. It’s hurting me. I don't want her to be like that. I went closer to her, closing the gap between us. Our face are so close to each that the tip of our noses touch and I could feel her rapid warm breath. She was still looking at her fingers as she smiled. I gently hold her hand and caress it with my thumb. Her palms are cold. “I’m sorry. We'll talk about it.” My voice was deep and serious. A charming smile flashed in her face as she hold back my hand tighter. I tiptoe to reach her forehead and planted a kiss on it. Yes,
Epilogue Just as the bell rang, I sprinted to the door. I didn’t wait for our professor to say his goodbyes. I was even the first one who went out of the room before anyone could. I hurriedly went to the elevator and waited for it to open. Today is special because mom is going home from Jakarta. She stayed there for almost a year for business partnership and now, I’m so excited to see her. I miss her so much. I had a lot of things to say to her. I couldn’t wait. Just as I arrived, the elevator rang and It opened. I saw our law professor inside as I entered. I smiled at him as I greeted, “Good morning sir.” He smiled back, “Good morning, De Vera.” Did our professor just smile at me? I felt like my cheeks burning. He was so handsome and hot. No wonder why most of my classmate were into him. And if they were here when he smiled, they will probably go insane. The elevator closed the moment I entered and I felt it moving down. I leaned my shoulder against the wall as I waited to rea
Thirty-Nine-Daniel King’s POV –My eyes wandered around the house as I walked to the living room. Dad was so busy covering the furniture’s with white clothes. I stood at the center of the house and some of the appliances were gone. My brows furrowed as I looked for mom. I went straight to her room seeing that the door was open.As I entered, she immediately turned her head at me and gave me a quick smile. I walked to the bed and sat as I watch her took other clothes from the closet and put it in the suitcase.“The house was already sold. And just as I told you, we’re flying back to California.” Mom explained as she gave me a quick look before I could ask her.“When?” My voice was low like it was a whisper.“Today at 6 pm. Right after your graduation.” She replied while pressing the clothes in the suitcase as she zip
Thirty-Eight-Daniel King’s POV –It felt different when you were attending a wake. Especially when it was someone close to your heart. I felt uneasy and this feeling made me uncomfortable. The house was filled with cold atmosphere and everyone did not feel like talking. It was not that crowded considering that only grandpa’s and dad’s close friends were here. I heard nothing but this deafening silence that echoed in the entire house. This house was used to be filled with happiness but now, it had nothing but depression, disappointment and sadness.I squeezed my eyes and stood. My head still hurt but not that bad. I still have a slight fever and I don’t feel like taking any medicine. I'm planning to go to the kitchen to have some coffee.

Thirty-Seven - Daniel King’s POV – By the moment I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see dad standing beside the bed. He was busy talking someone on the phone. Before I could get pissed off by his presence, I tried to recognize where I am. I remember checking in at an inn with Hannah and probably I was still here. Hannah? I turned around and I was shocked to see that she wasn't there. Where is she? I was sure that I slept next to her. And how the hell did dad know that I was here? Maybe Hannah told him? No way. She won’t do that. I’m sure she won’t. "Fix yourself, young man. We are leaving.” Dad ordered. And I won’t be surprised if he sounded like commanding. He usually ordered everyone around as if he was the big boss, which pissed me off. "You can’t order me around as if you own my life.” I protested as I fix a glare at him. He frowned, "And you can’t talk back to me like that. Knowing that I am your father.” His tone was tense and he emphasized
Thirty-Six-Hannah Mae’s POV –I was rolling on the bed when King left the room. I couldn’t sleep, even I wanted too. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking of how we satisfied ourselves. It sent goosebumps to me every time I thought about it and I ended up chuckling like an idiot. His whole body was so warm and his dick tasted so good in my mouth that I couldn't get enough of it. I love sucking and licking it. And how he massaged my breast is really something. I slowly opened my eyes as I breathe out.Oh gosh. I’m imagining it again and it was making me wet. I wanted his dick in my hole again and thrust me so hard that I could moan my lungs out.I flinched in surprise when I heard a phone ringing. Damn! It was ruining my moment of happy thoughts. I stood in annoyance and tried to follow the ringtone to find out where it came from. No one was here so I better find that phone and turn it off. It was kind of dist

Thirty-Four - Hannah Mae’s POV – My eyes slowly opened and it quickly wandered around. I know the place and I guess I was in the bed. But how did I end up here? I sat up as I gathered my thoughts together. Jacob’s evil smirk flashed in my mind and his comrades. That’s it. I was almost harass by those idiots. Good thing I quickly come up with the idea of luring Jacob to the water and I was able to escape. While I was escaping, my body gave up and I passed out. I think someone found me at the shore and took me here. I look down and touch my chest. I suddenly stared at the shirt that I was wearing. It seemed familiar like I saw this before. But I can’t recall who wear this. While I was drown in thinking of the owner of the shirt and who took me here, the bathroom door, in front of the bed, slowly opened. I lifted my head to see who else is in here, and King came out of the bathroom. A towel was covering his hair and another one was covering his privat

And I know she also felt what I felt for her. But our mutual love for each other was against the world.
