CHAP 11

I don't know how many minutes I've been staring at the ceiling of my apartment. The moment I entered the house, I immediately went to my room and lay down. I kept thinking about what Agustine did, but no matter how deep I thought about it, I didn't really know why he was acting like that.I just closed my eyes and massaged my forehead. "I left my car," I uttered, and shook my head.“Who picks up people in the middle of their work? I mean, it should be after work!" I talked to myself.Instead of getting crazy thinking about it, I just neglected the thought. My time is too important to be squandered on him. I rested for a while and then did my normal daily routine; clean myself, dress up, cook, eat, and so on. When the night came while preparing for sleep, something suddenly entered my brain that crept me out.No, it's impossible.He doesn't have a crush on me, does he?I cringed."What the hell are you thinking, Khrystal? Just go to sleep because you need to catch up the first trip tom

CHAP 12

"Ms. Dagsinal."I heaved out a deep breath. I can't count how many times he has called me since we entered his newly built office; made him coffee, stapled papers, photocopied, and more.Why did I even pursue architecture if I would only become a servant in the end too? Tsk!On the other hand, I felt relieved. I was more satisfied with his gradual order than with the miraculous change in his attitude. In this way, I know why he is torturing me—though it's really not that hard—because of what I did to him. But the way he treated me with such kindness, that’s what is difficult to decode.Yes, it's weird. But I am more comfortable with this. When he's nice or doesn't get annoy with me, I felt like I'm having a shortage in air. Every beat of my heart is getting fast and it felt like I was about to lose my organs in my stomach whenever he treated me differently. It's kind of... scary.I stood on the side of the office where my desk was moved onto and then went in front of Agustine. From lo

CHAP 13

We ate silently. Until now, I am still trying to process in my head what is happening."You're still doubting?" he broke the silence.I looked up and met his gaze. For a few seconds, I tried to finished what I was eating before I cleared my throat."Can you blame me?" I shot another question instead of answering.He slowly licked his lower lip. "Then try me," he dared."By you, not fvcking me?" I raised an eyebrow.He nodded.I couldn’t help but laughed, "Of course, it's an easy option for you," I stated. "As if you can't bed another woman to satisfy your needs, Mr. Revelar." I smirked."What we are talking right now is about us, Dagsinal. To prove my sincerity, I won't touch you," he pointed out. "But as for your statement, if that can reduce your anger towards me, then I will not bed another woman."I clenched my jaw while still maintaining the eye-contact with him.Is he serious?"What made you change?" I asked him directly while taking a sip from my wine. "And why are you doing thi

CHAP 14

I don't how did it happen, but I just find myself getting close with Agustine. We often eat lunch together, talking ‘bout stuffs, smiling at each other and more. True to his words, he never brought up about that fvck role thing.Unlike before, at work, where I almost end up like a secretary. He let me do things now. Like, designing rooms, landscapes or anything. There were also times when he asked for my suggestions regarding the hotel they were currently working at. I could say that for the past few days, we're really business partners slash friends."Are you free this evening?" Agustine asked when I was about to put my seatbelt.We were just about to leave the construction site of the hotel. So far, everything is doing well and there is nothing to worry about the project.I glanced at him. "Hmm. Kinda?" I answered and continued to settle on my seat."Wanna eat at my place?" he was biting a bit of his lower lip while whispering that question, he was immensely looking at the road and

CHAP 15

I don't know how I managed to walk into Agustine's condo. I am astounded the moment he opened the door. Flower petals were scattered on the floor, there was also a candlelit table at the center of his home, I even saw two men on the corner. From their appearance I could tell that one was a waiter and the other was a chef.I looked at Agustine. He was also just looking at me with a small smile on his lips as I walked along.This is beyond my expectation.He pulled me a chair when we reached the table. I sat down coldly and silently watched him walk around to the seat opposite me. Once again, he smiled at me. A warm smile.On cue, the waiter went to our place and gracefully distributed the appetizer—Baked Crab and Artichoke Dip. At the same time, mellow music was playing around us. I bit my bottom lip while looking at Agustine and looked away because I could feel my cheeks heating up."So, do you like your new work?" he broke the silence when we started eating.I tried to clear my throa

CHAP 16

"Does your family do nothing to stop people from looking down on you?" Agustine continued to ask stuffs about me and my family.We're done eating. The people he hired earlier for dinner have also left. Right now, we are talking outside his balcony. Leaning on the railings, holding a wine glass, and watching the stars in the peaceful sky.I flashed a smile and sipped on my glass. I glanced at the city lights below the building for a moment. It's peaceful."Whether they do something or not. It won't change the fact that I'm an illegitimate child," I said then looked at him.His eyes were focused at me. Once again, I lifted my lips to curve a smile. I really appreciate Agustine for how attentive he was at my words. Like he doesn't want to miss a single word that I say.I heaved a deep breath and looked at the sky. My smile faded slowly as I thought about my family."You know, I may have a complete family; a mother, a father, and a sister. But I still have a broken home."I laughed and to

CHAP 17

"Stop seducing me, Khrystal," Agustine said firmly in a mocking tone when he saw me peeking through his pants."What? I'm just amused, okay?" I chuckled.He groaned and shut his eyes before walking towards the door. Decided to bring me home."Come on," he said impatiently.I bit my lower lip. "You know... we can do something about it," I murmured, and my face automatically heated.His eyes sharpened as his jaw tensed. "I told you, I won't do that again," he said."Well, you also said that..." I gulped and met his eyes. "It’s okay, if I want to, right?" I added slowly.I don't know why I am insisting this. Maybe because I want to satisfy him? Or myself?"Is this a test, Khrystal?" he asked darkly.I slightly pouted. "Do.. you not want to?" I hesitate to continue, gradually am starting to sound disappointed because of the feeling that he doesn't like me anymore. "Okay, take me home," I hoarsely added and walked towards him without looking.I gasped when a strong arm held my waist as his

CHAP 18

"Oh my ghad..." I whispered as I looked at my naked body.I carefully shifted my sight to the man who was fast asleep next to me. I blinked a few more times trying to stop my mouth from hanging wide open. The memories of last night came flooding back—how we talked, how I thought, how we made love."I won't allow you to come home without me becoming as your boyfriend."I shut my eyes tight when Agustine's words lingered in my mind.You're fvcking crazy, Khrystal!My head was in fvcking turmoil. It's only four o'clock at dawn but my mind is full of things.Last night, I told myself that he's my home. I freaking admitted to myself that I like him. Thinking about my thoughts that time, my heartbeat increased. Fear shook out my body.What if... I'm wrong?What if I was just carried away with happiness that is why I thought of those things? What if it's all just my illusion? What if the peace I felt at that time just pushed me to make a decision?Agustine has been good to me since our fight.

CHAP 19

“Khrystal!” Nexus called me. He was looking evidently amazed and happy when he saw me coming in to the resort my former classmates chose to meet.He quickly stood up from the table where they were gathered and patted Jared who was on his side—a reason for him to stand up as well. They went to me and gave me a hug. In the corner of my eyes, I saw some girls glared at me. I don't give a damn about that. In the few years I have studied with them, I got used to their accusing stares."Nexus told me you were going but I didn't actually believe it. Knowing you, you'd rather hang out in the room than deceitful act like you are friends with the people here," Jared laughed in a low tone. "By the way, you look hot," he added—a little bit loud this time—and chuckled.I only grinned at him. I don't know how I was considered hot for my looks. I only wore a black fitted crop top shirt that I paired with a white tennis skirt and white shoes. Because I was in a hurry to escape from Agustine and didn'

CHAP 20

I could almost hear the crashing of the waves on the far shore because of the intense silence that enveloped our table. Everybody were speechless and didn't know what to say to Agustine's answer. I could see the others carefully looking at me, guessing what the man in front of me was talking about."Do you want to join us?" Drea broke the silence.I couldn't avoid but look at her. I know that she is completely aware of what Agustine just said but she just ignored it. I don't know if I should thank her for breaking the silence or be pissed because I can sense her rudeness and negative criticism against me.Just like what Agustine did earlier he briefly looked at Drea and turned back his full attention to me."Can I join?" he asked politely.I swallowed the lump in my throat but I was still unable to speak. The little annoyance that I felt for my old classmate was immediately shifted to nervousness because of Agustine's existing presence. I know for sure that they'll talk ill about me.
