CHAPTER SIXTY ONE

I'm on my way to make breakfast when I decide to check on Russell again. After what happened last night, I'm pretty sure that he'll have a hangover once he wakes up. The morning sun has risen, casting its ray upon his face. He's still sleeping.I climb on the bed and sit beside him, staring at him, crossing my arms on my chest. Then his eyelids flicker, and a few moments later, he opens his eyes.He abruptly sits up and backs off, his back smacking the headboard. "You're scaring me," he barks. I must have looked like a ghost."Spill it." I glower at him."What?" he rasps, squinting his eyes before squeezing them shut. He curses. His head must be spinning."Last night," I say. "What was that all about?"He groans, touching his head."Shit. I was knocked out, wasn't I?""Uh-huh.""I got carried away.""For what?" I ask. "What celebration?" I go straight to the point.He laughs, closing his eyes, looking like he doesn't even believe that it's happening. "My internship."My eyes widen. "Yo

CHAPTER SIXTY TWO

"Did you get in?" Russell's voice echoes through the speaker as I talk with him on the phone while doing my energy balance assignment on my bed. It has been six days since he left, and I'm still surviving in my early weeks of college."Nope," I say. "I changed my mind. I didn't audition for it.""Why?" He sounds surprised. "I thought you liked it.""I do." I sigh. "I'd love to play the piano with a full orchestra. But there's this guy from South Korea who is so good. And I'm nothing compared to him”. I laugh.“You’re joking right?” He pauses. ‘’ You didn’t really want it’’.“ The team seems so driven. They participate in a lot of competitions. I don’t think I can do it. I don’t want to play with such pressure. Let me just enjoy playing it as a hobby”. I grin“As you wish, Ken.” Russell laughs. “How’s study so far?” "So far so good," I say, biting my pen as I scan the rest of my homework. "But there's this research the lecturer asked us to do, and it's quite challenging." I hate it whe

CHAPTER SIXTY THREE

I get up from the couch, and my gaze darts on the thing lying on the armchair. It's Lance's notebook.Wondering if it's something important that he forgot to bring, I walk closer to it. I feel guilty for looking into other people's stuff, but there's something urgent kicking inside me. I take the book and flip through the pages. Then my eyes widen.It's all about the presentation to get into the internship. He's written the notes here and there. The important points, the conclusions and what he has to say to convince the company.No. No. No.I gulp, and even my hand starts to shake. This can't be happening.He forgot to bring it with him. How could he? He must have been in a hurry.I snap my head towards the clock. I have less than an hour until the presentation. Without thinking further, I decide to bring the book to him.My hand grips the steering wheel so hard that my knuckles turn white. The traffic lights change to red, and I curse, beating the steering wheel again for God knows h

CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR

While I'm sitting at the sushi bar, I lick my lips. My eyes follow the sushi plates lining up and moving in front of me.They all look so tempting. In a heartbeat, I grab one plate that has salmon sashimi.I'm pouring the soy sauce over it when I feel Lance gaze on me. I turn my head towards him and find him staring at me in amusement."What?" I ask him nonchalantly and waste no time to put the food into my mouth with the chopsticks."Nothing." He smiles, still gazing at me.I would be shaking if I allowed myself to be completely affected by Lance Effect, but fortunately, my favorite food is such a good distraction. Tasting the sweet favour of the salmon, I close my eyes, enjoying every bit of it. It tastes like heaven.Even Russell once told me that I ate it like I was in a TV commercial."You know," Lance begins. "This is quite a sight."I raise my brows."Usually, girls tend to eat more carefully in front of me," Lance says. "They tried to maintain their image, even some of them cho

CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE

I take off my lab coat as my first chemistry lab ends. It's been a long session and quite tiring. Tucking the files back into my bag, I wonder how I'll get home later. I guess that I would take the bus, since my car is broken -- I just found out this morning when I couldn't start the engine."Have you asked someone to fix your car?" Kyla asks beside me, slinging her backpack over her shoulders. Since we're taking the same major, we have many classes together, and I find it pleasing. She's my first friend here."Nope." I sigh."Why don't you try to ask Lance?" she asks as we exit the lab. She winks, teasing me, and I roll my eyes.So, this girl here has asked me about how I managed to hand my jaw-dropping assignment to Professor Adams so quickly, and I've told her about Lance.But no, I can't trouble Lance again. I'm well aware that Lance is busy preparing for the football game tomorrow, and I don't want to disturb him.Why do I have to be so clueless about cars?I'm going to call a mec

CHAPTER SIXTY SIX

Tears brimming my vision, I stare at Lance storming in our direction. I can't believe that someone actually comes to save me.The sick, perverted psychopath abruptly lets go of me, pushing me to the wall. He wastes no time to run off, leaving me here with mouth agape, shaking on the ground."Don't you dare, you asshole." Lance is ready to run after him, but when he sees the state that I'm in, he stops dead in his track. He freezes. I can see that he's shocked by how I look.My head pulses with sharp pain, and I wince, touching my forehead. Then I find blood on my palm. My forehead is apparently bleeding from the smack against the brick wall."Jesus, Ken -- " he rasps before his jaw tightens, and I can even see his eyes burning with rage before he snaps his head back toward the bastard running away."No," I cry out, stopping him before he can move further to catch the bastard. "D-don't leave me," I stutter. I can barely speak after what happened.I don't want to be left alone in this da

CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN

Lance grabs the bathrobe hanging on the wall and covers my body with it. I realize that I was almost naked in front of him. I've never thought before that it would be that hard just to clean myself up. He seems to realize that I can't do it either, so he lifts me in his arms and carries me back into my bedroom.He lays me down on the bed, and my body tenses at the sudden loss of his warmth. Thankfully, he also lays down beside me before pulling me closer to him.It's like I need him to forget about what the psycho did to me inside the alley, to replace all the horrible and nasty feelings on my body. I still haven't cleaned myself up, but I'll survive if he keeps holding me close to him.I put my hands on his back, sighing. "Did you call the cops?""I did," Lance says. "He deserves to rot in jail. Sick bastard." His anger is still evident in his voice. "If they don't find him, I'm going to hunt him myself. I'll find the person who fucking did this to you."Somehow, I feel something new

CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT

Lance eyes meet mine as he scans the bleachers, perhaps because we're sitting quite close to the field. I smile, waving my hand to him. I really hope that they'll win this game, so I won't have to feel guilty for consuming most of his time."Oh my Gosh," Kyla gasps beside me. "He's a hottie. Is that Lance?"I nod, biting my lip. "Yup.""Well, I've actually heard about him before," Kyla says. "He and Russell are really popular, like, if you're into college football, they shine so bright and make every girl swoon. But I didn't expect he would look that good. I mean, look at his body," she tattles.I don't know why, but I feel a bit irritated from knowing that she's checking his body out. Easy, girl.Oh, crap. Am I jealous? What are you thinking, Kendall? Stupid brain.No. Stupid heart.Luckily, the game starts with a kickoff, shifting my attention back to reality before I can keep blaming myself. I've heard that the opponent's team from the neighboring university is tough, but hopefully,

SIXTY NINE

I'm shocked at the sudden movement. Prince lips brush against mine. They feel so soft and delicate, and his mouth smells like fresh mint gum. He starts to move his lips, but I'm still star struck that I don't even know what I'm going to do. It tells how inexperienced I am. "Open your mouth," he whispers against my lips. What? My mind is still in cloud nine that I can't comprehend anything he says. Is this the kind of 'teaching that he meant before? Naughty, naughty Prince. But I comply anyway. I give him access, and the next thing I know is that he shoves his tongue into my mouth. His tongue teases mine and explores the new territory, so slowly that it makes me almost moan. Almost. Pull yourself together, Cheska. You don't want to embarrass yourself. But he continues kissing me, and everything feels so good and sweet in my mouth. I don't think that I'll be able to hold my moan for a long time. I like it. Fuck. I like my first kiss. I close my eyes and kiss him back, trying to

SEVENTY

"She's not worth it, Prince." I remember Drake saying those words to Prince about Gia. Oh God, why do those words keep haunting me now that I'm trying to close my eyes to sleep? This is so infuriating. I roll my body to the side, restless. Maybe I should try counting sheep to get it out of my mind. Drake wouldn't have said something like that if Prince had really moved on, right? Drake must have known that Prince was still living under the shadow of his ex-girlfriend. Shit. I should have been aware of the aftereffect of the kiss before I allowed him to kiss me. Now, I'm becoming such an insecure girl. Because it's too good to be true. I've never felt something like this before. The chemistry between us is real -- or at least, I think so. He's too good to be true, but at the same time too real for me to pretend like he doesn't exist. And too dangerous for my vulnerable heart. I like him. I really do. To the point that I'm afraid that everything will be shattered once I enter too
