I was nervous, and a lot of negative thoughts entered my mind, but I just strengthened my heart. I remained standing, not far from Liam, as I watched them make out and laugh. After a while, I took a deep breath to gain courage.When I walked closer to Liam, he immediately looked at where I was standing. Just like before, when he saw me at the restaurant, he stopped laughing. I kept swallowing because I didn't know that I wouldn't do it easily."Liam," I called him in a low voice.It was loud there, but I knew he read my pronunciation of his name through my mouth. He just kept looking at me as if he was waiting for what I would say next, but I couldn't understand myself because I couldn't open it, and almost no words came out of my mouth.I could see the mixed emotions in his eyes as we looked at each other. I see joy, sadness, anger, and sullenness. The only emotion I can give him is begging. I hope he talks to me again.I waited until I finally had the courage to approach him and tal
Chapter 9"Architect! Are you coming with us?" Leah asked me.Leah is one of my team members at the firm. We are very close to each other even though I am their boss, and before I came to the company, they used to go out every Friday because there was no work the next day."Nope. I have a meeting with my client tomorrow morning. I need to rest early," I answered while putting my things away on the table.Oh, come on. You can move your schedule to the afternoon," he insisted.I just laughed and shook my head, especially when I saw my three colleagues peeking from my office door."Come with us, architect!" Jean insisted."Sorry girls, but I can't make it tonight. I will visit a construction site tomorrow," I answered to inform them of my activities tomorrow."You're always working, Architect. How can you get married if you're always like that? Sometimes you have to go out too!" Leah said one after another just so I could be with them."Leah is right, Architect. You don't need to work an
I drink there quietly, and if Trisha's friends talk to me, I talk to them too. They are not awkward to be with because they have a strong sense of humor, and I also laugh at their jokes."Architect," Trisha whispered to me.I didn't realize that she was now next to me, and she left her boyfriend, John, in the other seat."Why?" I asked her.She didn't speak immediately and looked at our friends, who were laughing. I couldn't keep up because my attention was focused on Trisha when she approached me."I'm sorry if I took John and his friends with us on our girls night out. They came here by chance," Trisha explained to me.I grinned and shook my head, because I had no problem with that. Also, what's the point of our girls' nights out if we can't socialize with others?"Oh, come on, Trisha! It's fine. They're funny to be with. Don't worry about me," I said, then shrugged."Are you sure it's okay with you? Maybe you're not comfortable with them," she said.I could clearly see the shame on
As the night wore on, we drank more and more. I admit that I'm a little tipsy, but I can still handle it. Maybe if we were the only girls there, they might have wanted to go home earlier, but because there were guys with us, we stayed there for a long time. The alcohol has hit me hard, and the shame has disappeared from my personality tonight. Cris and I talk like we've known each other for a long time. When he jokes with me, I just ride him too. He wasn't like this when we first met, but as time went on, he became more and more talkative."Let's go dance there!" Wendy asked.Our other partners on the dance floor, like Trisha, are already there. We were the only ones left at the table because of what we were talking about. When she got fed up with drinking, Wendy only agreed to follow her."Do you know how to dance?" I asked Cris."Not really," he answered, then shrugged his shoulders.Wendy left first, so I smiled and stood up to pull her."Let's go dance," I scolded him.He didn't w
After he finished kissing my thighs, he stood up to lay me down on the soft bed. I opened my eyes and looked at what he would do next. I saw his eyes widen, and he quickly took off his clothes. I immediately saw some packs of his abs there, and I saw even more of the size and shape of his body. He's really hot! Now that he's topless, I'm getting even hotter!He came down to kiss me, so I closed my eyes again and savored his kisses. I feel like I'm going to be crazy. He put his tongue inside my mouth, licked it, and tasted it. He also slightly pulled my hair to change the angle of my face. Before he pressed my lips together, our tongues touched. I feel senseless and crazy. He alternates his kisses with mine.My hands were on his shoulders, and I slowly wrapped them around his neck while pulling him closer to me. I want more. I want him to be closer to me. I want him so bad, and I know that's so illegal! When he felt me pulling him closer to me, I also felt that his kisses were graduall
The next day, I woke up with the light from the window hitting my face. Before I even opened my eyes, I felt naked. I remembered what happened, and I almost fell over when I remembered it.I felt tired, and I could almost feel the pain in my thighs. My body was wrapped in a white and thick comforter. I feel like what happened last night was just a dream; that's why I looked at my whole body inside the comforter."Morning,"When I heard that voice, my eyes widened, and I immediately became fully aware of them. I was in a big room; the things were black and gray, and in front of the bed, I could see the trees from outside the big glass window. A man in a long-sleeve polo shirt and a black vest stood, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He was wearing black slacks while drinking alcohol.I know him. He is Cris, a friend of Trisha's boyfriend. I couldn't speak because I was too stunned to process it all. I admit that last night was so amazing; that's why my cheeks almost got hot when I re
"What's up, Architect Scott? Looks like you still have a hangover?" Marcus immediately greeted me when I arrived at the site. He smiled at me and immediately handed me a safety hat. I rolled my eyes at him because I couldn't escape from him again. In the three years of our friendship, I have gotten very used to him teasing me. "Just now you were late and almost couldn't go," he added, then shook his head. "Whatever, Engineer Martinez. The important thing is that I'm here and I can still do my work even if it's late," I told him, then I shrugged my shoulders. He just laughed, so I put on my safety hat. I started walking to see what else there was to do on the site. A house is being built there and is starting to be built, but I still need to check something there. Because the house is big and my client has a lot of trust in me, I can't just let it go. On the vacant lot, there is something to be built that I have not yet measured. It's a good thing that I brought my measuring tape
My sister didn't stop me from telling her what happened that night; that's why I gave her what she wanted. After that, her son, Ashton, and I fell asleep next to each other. The next day, I thought that Sabrina would repeat what we talked about last night, but when we both woke up, she didn't seem to care. I didn't even open it again because the important thing is that I shared with her what happened. They went home that morning because she also had work at her restaurant. They all left the house, and I was the only one left there. I spent some time in the bathroom because I was still thinking about what I would say to my team later. I'm about to enter the office now and start work again, but I'm nervous about what they might ask me. Should I say it or not? Do they even need to know that? I just shook my head and sighed when I finally finished getting ready. It's up to me what I can answer for them, but I hope they don't ask any more questions. "Good morning, architect!" some empl
