Over A Drink

2021-10-07 21:00:59She was mesmerized by his every movement. He even made those moves similarly done by professional mixologists. His eyebrows were furrowed in concentration.
Moments later, he placed a drink in front of her.
She eagerly took a sip. “Mmm.. I like it!”
“Good.. Glad you like it!” Leopold took a sip of his own drink as well.
Silence.
Both stole glances at each other, not knowing where to start.
“Ahemm..” Leopold cleared his throat, breaking the unbearable silence. “Did you want to tell me something?”
“Mmm? Oh! Right.. Haha. I almost forgot!.. Well, it’s nothing really… I only wanted to ask if you wanted to say something.. Or if there’s something on your mind..” She laughed awkwardly, her cheeks were blushing. It was unknown whether it was out of embarrassment or because of the drink.
Leopold stared at her un

When Love Blooms Finally Winner
“W-WHAT??!!” It was unknown how many exclaimed this at the same time. They expected to hear the names of the winners for the contest amidst the silence. But what they heard was Leopold Hargreave’s announcement instead. And to say it just when the winners were about to be announced. To those who knew Leopold’s feelings for Rowena, it seemed to suit the timing. He probably felt like a winner now that she has accepted his feelings for her. However, there were some who raised their eyebrows. Namely, Sterling and Grant, Rowena’s brothers. “When did this happen?” Sterling’s deep voice could be heard. Rowena sensed her brother’s annoyance. She hoped they wouldn’t say that they disagree. She has liked Leopold since the time she learned to differentiate between liking someone agreeable and liking someone she wants to hold hands with and gaze at each other’

“I can’t believe it! I’m getting a new car!!!” Liam was beside himself with joy. He faced Rupert only to shake him silly. Whereas Rupert was too shocked to speak. His eyes were about to pop out and his mouth opened and closed like a fish. “Congratulations guys!” Kate was amused at the two men’s reaction. They were car fanatics so it was understandable for them to be so happy. It didn’t matter what type of model it was at that moment. It was a free car! “Hoo..that’s awesome guys! It pays to be talented eh? Hahaha” Miriam praised them. She sang earlier but even she was aware that she was a little off-key because of nerves. Liam and Ruper were quite skilled in playing the guitar. “Everyone, to those who will be receiving the cars, the guys will discuss it with you..” Diana announced. As much as they would be able to give them luxurious cars, it simply wasn’t practical for

His brows knitted as he listened to her teasing. He was speechless. ‘Did I really seem like a big brother to her?’ “What did you pick Heather?” Diana walked up behind them. “It’s a Lexus..an armored one.” She grinned at her. “Oh? Nice!!! I’m assured then! Your job involves a lot of danger, that car is really suited for you..” “I agree.. Your cousin suggested it..” “Eh? Wow.. Nick.. how considerate of you..” She smiled teasingly at her cousin, whose ears are starting to turn red. “An armored vehicle huh.. Why didn’t I think of that? I’ll get one for you too, love…” Lucas thought about it. There were people who had bad intentions towards others. It was better to have precautions in place. “Eh? I don’t need it right?” She always has a driver whenever she goes out or it’s always Lucas driving when it’s just them.

She was speechless. His words were too good to be true. How could he have fallen for her when had just broken up with his fiance not long ago? He had told her just now that he didn’t want to say anything at first because he didn’t want her to misunderstand his intentions. “Do you really have no feelings with your ex anymore?” She felt a pang in her heart as she thought of the possibility that he could still have feelings for Tuesday Palmer. Morris looked at Katherine helplessly. ‘I’m doing such a bad job at confessing my feelings.’ “None.” Her brows knitted in a frown. ‘How could that be?’ He sighed and leaned back, lying on the floor and staring at the night sky. “I found out that she had cheated on me for a while already. I had evidence to prove it. I had hoped she only did it as a one-time mistake.

“I don’t think Morris would be that kind of person. But thank you..” Her loving eyes burned into him, stirring his soul. “No need to thank..” His voice turned husky as he lowered his head and brought her lips for a kiss that gradually turned passionate. Diana felt his fingers run through her hair sending tingles down her spine. “Mmm..” She craned her neck, giving access to his kisses while one hand held him closer and the other grabbed his hair. His fingers tugged at her nipple through her lingerie until it perked up. He felt her leg rest on his waist and pulled him closer. His hand left her breast and moved downwards, pulling her lace underwear off. She sucked in her breath as she felt bare at the bottom. He disentangled himself from her, taking off his boxers, tossing it aside. She saw his bare body in all his glory, looki

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The sound of the alarm clock in the room stirred the couple awake and so did the others in their own rooms. Lucas reached out and turned the alarm off, yawning. His eyes blinked adjusting to the light. “Mmm.. ‘morning..” Diana stretched out, her body slightly sore. “Morning, love..” He turned his face and kissed her cheek. “Do we have other plans for today?” She lazily rolled on the bed and stretched her body like a cat. Lucas threw the blanket off him and got out of bed. “Hmm.. I don’t think so. Unless you want to visit grandma and grandpa today..” “Yeah, we could do that..” “Okay.. then we’ll go there..” “Love, what about the items?” “Didn’t your cousin say that they’ll handle it?”

While the crew cleaned up after they had their breakfast, they all gathered in the lounge. “Guys, it has been a lot of fun hanging out with everyone. Don’t forget about our plan for next summer! We’ll let you guys know a month in advance at least so you can fix your schedule. So no, Zeke and I will hand out the consolation prizes.” Nicole took the lead, she was not at all intimidated being in the presence of some of those older than her. She’s known them for as long as she could remember that it was impossible to start feeling shy now. Ezekiel stood beside her, picking up the big paper bags one after the other as she announced the names. “Kate, come on up..” As Nicole announced, Kate stood up from the couch and walked to the front. Ezekiel handed her the paper bag, offering her a friendly smile. She then went back to her seat and waited until everyone received theirs before checking what’s inside. She didn’t know w

Katherine stared at Morris full of bewilderment. The more that she got to know him, the more she realized how shameless he could be if he wanted to. She wasn’t wrong in this assumption. Morris has always been this way towards people he’s comfortable with. One could say that Tuesday Palmer never had the chance to see this side of him. “Where’s your dad now? Oh.. and do I call him Uncle? Or father-in-law? Or dad?” She was taken aback by his words that shot like a machine gun. “Ahemmm.. Just call him Uncle..” He nodded. “Alright. I’ll call them Aunt and Uncle for now..” Katherine’s lip twitches when she hears his words. ‘For now..’ “So, where do we pick him up?” “Let me call him..” Katherine took out her phone and called her dad. “Katie.. You back home?”

When Love Blooms Finally Catching Up
Lillian, Ernest and the rest arrived at the airport and were quickly assisted through the process. They were able to leave the airport and head to their residence easily. Adrian looked around and saw that everything seemed strange in his eyes. Nothing was familiar to him. It was when they were finally close to the mansion when he recognized the structure. He had dreamt of this place so many times. It had become hazy at some point. But now, he could see that this was more or less the place he lived in before he was taken. It had some new additions along with other changes such as the paint and the landscape design. But the overall structure was the same. As they entered the gates, he saw that there were a lot of people outside of the house. They were lined up even in this cold weather. Most of them seemed to be wearing uniforms under their black coats. The only ones who looked different than the others were the three couples and two young men. “Ah.. Everyone’s here.” Emma smiled
When Love Blooms Finally Taking Luck Away
Adrian and Violet were apprehensive when they saw the big plane that they were going to ride on.Fortunately for them, they were flying through the private plane of the Lovell family, else, they would be even more embarrassed by the way they were acting.To their memory, this was their first time being on any plane.That simply was not true for Adrian, as the family had gone on vacations before that needed the plane. It’s just that this memory may have been forgotten by Adrian already.As for Violet, this was her first ever flight.They at least knew what a plane was.They were only anxious as to how they would feel once they’re already up in the air.Lillian and the rest tried to distract them from these thoughts.Hugh and Leroy offered them some wine and snacks.Emma and Priscilla showed them the movies they could watch on the screen in front of their seat.Lillian especially made sure they felt warm and comfortable, giving them blankets and pillows, showing them how to recline thei
When Love Blooms Finally Rewarding
“Yes, Dad. Alright–Mn..Goodnight.” Lucas said to Hugh on the phone.Hugh had called him to let him know that they would be heading back in the morning with Adrian and his friend, Violet.Hugh and Leroy’s secretaries have received updates regarding a background check on Violet’s family.They’ve decided to let Violet stay with the Lovell family as a guest.In the residence, there’s usually only the elders living with their staff. Usually, it would be busier during holidays and if there are any special occasions. In those times, everyone would gather in the residence and stay in their rooms reserved for them.Lillian and Ernest have held out hope that Adrian would return to them so they never thought of letting anybody else use it.Lillian would personally clean it and it was only in the later years that she let her staff help her.She wanted to preserve whatever remaining scent Adrian had left.There were times when she would burst out in tears, realizing that she could no longer recall
When Love Blooms Finally Burden
Soon, the driver, John Garcia, pulled up outside of the hotel where Lillian and the rest were staying.Adrian was no longer as anxious as he was half an hour ago, still he could still remember the bullets trying to penetrate through the car and the explosion after those goons’ cars had collided.Detective Jones glanced at him, noticing how pale Adrian was.Still, he commended him for not breaking down and not getting in their way.And also, because of him, they were able to rescue so many people who have been missing for years.Perhaps the Mayor might even think of rewarding Adrian because of his contribution.At the moment though, it was inappropriate to bring it up, given what the man had just experienced.So after escorting them to the hotel, Detective Jones left them, joining the other Officers with the rescued people.It was a field day for the reporters, gathering outside the police department.On the televisions of most households, they showed several people with their heads lo
When Love Blooms Finally Collision
As John Garcia was driving the car forward, everyone in the car held their breaths.They already knew that those people were Mortimer’s men. They could only play along for now, hoping for them to think that Adrian was in the other cars.But then–that possibility is very low.The black car they’re in was far from ordinary upon close inspection.And like clockwork, shots rang.Adrian ducked, covering his head with his arms.John Garcia gripped the steering wheel while Howard Dawson and Detective Jones cocked their guns.A voice of one of the policemen came on the comms. “Keep going. Follow the second group!”No matter what, they couldn’t let Adrian and the people who had just been rescued be in Mortimer’s hands again.John Garcia didn’t hesitate and quickly sped on.Mortimer’s men have picked the road where there’s only farm crops on each side, the road only leading one way.The city was still quite far so blending in or hiding in some alleyway would still be impossible.For now, they s
When Love Blooms Finally Traffic
The drive was calm, with John Garcia, the driver not making any stops if he could help it.The car could drive even without gas as it can run on solar power.It could be recharged at a charging station, could store gas and could be powered through solar. This is all thanks to the upgrades done by the Lovell Technologies.With the drive being calm, Adrian fell to sleep.Even Detective Jones dozed off as well, his head hitting the window a couple of times.An hour into the drive, the car suddenly beeped in alarm.Adrian and Detective Jones groaned, having been woken up by the alarm.“What is it? What’s happening?” Detective Jones asked.“There seems to be an accident up ahead.” John Garcia answered, pointing at the GPS shown on the screen in front of him.“Is there another road we can take?” The bodyguard, Hoyt Cole asked.“This is the only road back to Westbury..” John Garcia answered.“Maybe the road is not totally blocked–” Detective Jones said.“Alright then–we’ll keep going..”“Sta
When Love Blooms Finally Rescued
After canvassing the full layout of the building and accounting the number of people inside, Detective Jones and the other Officers made their strategic plan.An hour later, they made their move.Adrian was made to stay in the car while he viewed their perspective from the tablet device.He was given eyes for different cameras. Two more Officers were also monitoring it from their tablet devices.They compared every person found to the sketches from Adrian’s description of the people held captive. And also of the ones Adrian said were the people who ordered them around.Adrian watched as the trained Officers infiltrated the area covertly.CCTV cameras were hacked and made to play the same view over and over again.They knocked out the guards with tranquilizers, making sure they wouldn’t be waking up so soon.They were separated into groups. One made way to the sleeping quarters of the captives, another entered the main building, and another surrounded all possible exits.There were onl

Adrian held her hand, squeezing it.At that moment, Hugh returned to the room and was startled by the silence.“What happened?” He asked. His eyes wandered to Violet who now had her head lowered, her hand covering her eyes and her shoulders shaking.‘Is she crying?’ His brows furrowed.“Violet just remembered what happened that time when she was taken away.” Emma summarized it for him.He nodded. “By the way–I’ve just received information just now. Violet–it has something to do with you. If this is not a good time, I won’t say it.”She looked up, quickly wiping her tears with the cloth napkin.“No, please, I want to hear it.”Hugh nodded.“What is it, Hugh?” Emma asked.“It’s about her family.”They all glanced at Violet, gauging her reaction.“I remember–my mother died that time.” She said.Hugh nodded, confirming what she had remembered.Her heart fell. Deep inside, she was hoping that she was wrong. That she remembered it wrongly.Tears continued to fall down her cheeks. The napkin

Knock. Knock.“I’ll go get it..” Emma said.She opened the door and saw her younger brother, Adrian.“Ah.. Adrian.. What is it?”Adrian was startled.He stepped back to check if he knocked on the correct room or not.“You have something you need from Violet?” She smiled.His brows shot up. “Oh. Um–I was going to bring her to the dining room.”“Ah.. I see. Well, just in time. We’re done here as well.” Emma smiled. She turned her head and called over. “Come on you two..”“Okay!” Priscilla said. “Let’s go Violet..”Priscilla brought Violet over.Adrian was struck for a moment when he saw Violet.He had never seen her so dolled up.Her hair was beautiful and so is her overall look. Her face was even more beautiful than usual.Violet’s head hung as her cheeks blushed bright red.Adrian cleared his throat.“Let’s go..” Adrian tilted his head.“Mn.” Violet nodded.
