The heat she felt inside her body moderately subsided. Audrey felt relieved as the cold temperature slowly wrapped around her body. The dizziness she had early on somehow faded away also. The comfort she had painted a carefree smile on her face, and so she closed her eyes. Besides, her vision was still blurry, and she thought it would be better to get some rest first. Meanwhile, at the back of her mind, her subconscious wouldn’t stop banging her head telling her to stay alert.
Audrey drifted to sleep with Shane’s face filling her head, blocking her poor subconscious who were trying to warn her senses. But who cares about the slight reminder that her brain sent all throughout her body when she was contended by just seeing Shane’s face. Audrey could also hear his voice calling out her name and it sounded too good to be true. Even so, she would still prefer to stay occupied with everything about him.
“Hija!”Mrs. Vargas’ called when Audrey stepped out of the bathroom. “How are you feeling? Did the herbal bath help? We were surprised to see you unconscious on the floor when we arrived,” her mother-in-law continued.Audrey said nothing with indifference in her eyes. First, she had no idea how Mrs. Vargas knew where they went for filming. Shane must have mentioned the possible location but not exactly where. Then, Mrs. Vargas knew where exactly their room was. Audrey was aware that the elder could possibly ask about it from someone in the reception area but would the staff here easily provide this information even she would introduce herself as Shane’s mother? Nah, since this resort was booked by the production team and no other guests were allowed to enter except those tenants and workers whom they referred to as ‘locals&rs
There was a long deafening silence in the room after Audrey stormed out. Shane couldn’t move from where he was standing and Mrs. Vargas was still sitting composedly on her seat. Everything happened so fast for Shane. He got dumped by Stephanie and a little later he lost his best friend and well, his wife.“Are you just going to stand there and do nothing?” His mother broke the silence and stared at him with her glaring eyes. “If you don’t want to have more things to regret with, just follow her.”Shane remained quiet. He was keeping his mouth shut although he couldn’t help but faced his mother’s gaze. He knew it all along. His mother who was sweet and gentle was actually cunning and manipulative. After all, he took that side of him from her. However, the way she treated Audrey all this while was what her heart really de
The rain had finally stopped, leaving the sky clear; with no heavy, dark, rain clouds blocking the moonlight. The sunny afternoon was gone in a blink and the hours of raining seemed like forever. The important thing was, the rain was over. It wouldn’t be too cold at night to sleep anymore nor too dark outside with the thick clouds. When nightfall came, it was time for the moon to shine and illuminate the earth, guiding the lost soul to the right path and pulling those in despair from the abyss.Audrey opened her peepers when she felt uncomfortable in her position. She was crying for hours again until she fell asleep on the floor. She clicked her tongue. “I’m wasted,” she whispered. Her legs felt numb, and she had to wait for a while until she could finally move them. It was bothersome to stand up when she could barely feel her legs, she was scared she might fall on the ground. Anyway, who would care a
“Hmm…”Audrey moaned while arching her back to stretch her limbs. She pushed away the blanket draped on her body and spread her arms on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. She realized that most ceilings were painted white, giving anyone a hint of excitement early in the morning when waking up and facing the blank space above. Just like how she felt while staring at it, it made her want to paint a story she had of the day before she went to bed again at night. And the next morning, she would be sure to see the white ceiling again, inviting her to stand still on her feet and create a meaningful day to paint at it again when the night comes. Her mind felt a little refreshed after getting a nice sleep. She was thankful she survived after a painful night due to her bleeding heart. IShe got off the bed and dragged the curtain apart to let the sun
With everything said and almost done, the night seemed too long for Shane. He couldn’t sleep after meeting the person whom his mother was suspected about the cause of Audrey’s car accident five years ago. They had a casual talk about something for a while. Shane was somewhat grateful that the person didn’t stay for long, or he might lose his cool and start a confrontation about the issue involving Audrey.Shane could still not forget how his heart stopped beating for a second when he heard about the news of Audrey’s accident five years ago. Perhaps, Audrey wouldn’t decide to turn the car around after she reached the resort where they were supposed to have their honeymoon. If he was there with her, she might have avoided the accident and Audrey wouldn’t suffer emotionally within the past few years since she got involved in that said accident. And all those things were already in the past. A
The assembly of the casts and mangers didn’t last more than an hour. The director just wanted to have a little talk about the actors' and actresses’ thoughts about the filming site and their first-day experience. Everyone loved the place and said it was more convenient for them since they could have enough rest for not having to go to one place and another. While the production head had informed the managers about the setting for the current project, the talents didn’t expect and even the managers that the place would be literally like a paradise in the middle of the woods where a small city could be found.They were all dismissed after the small discussion and were told to enjoy their breakfast although some crew had to start filming some scenes. Shane was one of the actors who had scenes to shoot. Audrey kept quiet for the whole time since the assembly and just silently follow wherever Shane had to go. Wi
Just like any other parties she attended, Audrey would always look for a corner where she could have a peaceful time drinking her wine or appreciate the stars outside if it was nighttime. While everyone was cheering loudly and some would even pull someone to the dance floor to move along the rhythm, Audrey was sitting by the window, quietly holding a glass of cocktail drink. Her eyes were wandering on the night sky with stars shimmering in the dark. She intended to be alone at some point while thinking about the things she should do the next day.Audrey wasn’t sure if she should tell Shane to move out to completely cut the ties between them. She certainly had to but at the same time, she was worried about him a little since his parents were away and their old house was probably sold a long time ago. If Shane needed a place to stay when he was done with the project, it should be a place where he could live his private l
His grip went tighter whenever she tried to move, resisting from his kiss. It wasn’t the first time their lips touched. But Shane’s eagerness was new to her. When he kissed her before, he was mad and probably devastated about his relationship. And Audrey couldn’t think of any reason why he’d suddenly kiss her again. Not just a kiss, but he was wild and seemingly craving?Shane took the chance to insert his tongue inside her mouth when her guard was down and was trying to say something. He explored her cavity with his adventurous tongue leaving every corner in her mouth untouched. She moaned when she couldn’t breathe as the air was seemed to be blocked. Audrey was unconsciously holding her breath while he was kissing her and that was the problem. It was obvious she had no idea how to properly kiss someone.“Hah!” She gasped fo
