A Little Like Fate 32~ Regrettable kiss
DELIA Bruce was the client? My heart skipped several beats just by looking at his lowered face. His perfect figure just sat there majestically, eyes locked on his tablet. At some point, I found it hard to breathe. Levi sat down opposite him, taking a more majestic posture; his legs crossed and his eyes on his phone. Both guys were making it difficult to take in enough breaths. I felt I would suffocate and pass out from all the hotness in the air. I pulled my disheveled mind together and sat down beside Levi, making sure not to look at Bruce. "Delia?" He called out, surprised. He removed his glasses just to take a good look at me. "What are you doing here?" "I'm with him," I replied, not sparing him a glass. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Levi, I didn't notice you." He apologized and stood up for a shake. Levi did the same, taking their respective seats after that gesture. If only they knew what they both did to me, they would have both fled from my sight. "I believe you already know my as
A Little Like Fate 33~ Setting things right
DELIA I stood in front of Shawn's door as I contemplated whether to knock or not. I realized life was short and hiding in my comfort zone would only make me look much less like a person. I needed to set things right with both people I once called my friends. It was already the day Levi and I would be making our trip and I wanted to set things straight. I could die from depression and bankruptcy and I would love to die with a clear conscience. "You know, you could have just knocked." Lyla's voice pricked my thoughts and I jerked at her presence. How long had I been absent-minded? "Sorry, I didn't know if it was the right thing to do," I replied honestly with my gaze on the floor. "So, what are you here for?" She leaned on the door, waiting for me to answer. She was no longer the jovial Lyla I used to know. Rather, she seemed cold and distant. "Actually, I came to tell you something." My hands were shaking as I spoke. I felt uncomfortable and I felt the urge to just run away. "Th
A Little Like Fate 34~ Sharing a bed
DELIA "What... What do you mean, sir?" I tried to compose myself as much as possible. "We can't possibly go out in the snow. It's dangerous." "Do you have any other option?" He stared at me, waiting patiently for me to speak. I looked away as though I was trying to figure out something but nothing was coming to my mind. I just didn't want the situation to seem weirder than it already was. "We'll have to go out then." He said after taking my silence for a no. My mind felt at ease after he said that. I thought we were going to get comfortable by going into each other's arms. That would be been awkward. "Well, are you coming?" He was already out of the car, surveying the environment. The moment I opened the door, a cold breeze swept my face. Several strands of my hair began dancing with the wind, making it difficult to see through them. I got to Levi's side of the car and stood a few feet apart. "Where are we headed first?" I shouted. The storm was making loud noises, I had to sh
A Little Like Fate 35~ The confession
LEVIMy ears caught the sound of a vibrating phone and my eyes flung open immediately. Was it mine? I pushed my hand under the pillow where I had kept it and found it the vibration wasn't coming from mine. It had to be Delia's. As I moved closer to get the phone, she turned, making some noises. Her hand got to the phone before me and she checked the caller. She sprang up, staring dreadfully at the screen. She turned to me but I closed my eyes before she could notice I was awake. She slowly crept out of bed and with one last glance at me, she walked into the small balcony. Was she planning some kind of resistance against me? Or was that a threatening call? I quietly got out of bed too and walked towards the door leading to the balcony, hiding the sound of my footsteps under the rug. "Why won't you just leave me and my family alone? I said I will pay you. Don't you get the fact that I'm trying to raise the money?" She asked sternly. This seems interesting. I couldn't hear what the
A Little Like Fate 36~ Mr. Anderson wants me
DELIA The softness of where I lay made me moan as I turned in my sleep. My body was so relaxed and it felt as though I was sleeping on a cloud. I stretched my arms widely and they landed softly. I raised my hand a little and it touched a fluffy pillow. My eyes darted open and I found myself in a dimly lit room and on a soft mattress. Where was I? Had we already arrived at Levi's place? How long have I been asleep? Those questions lingered on my mind as I got off the bed. I turned the doorknob and it opened. I appeared in a long hallway, not knowing where to enter. The hallway had many divisions. Why didn't sir Levi wake me up when we got here? After some minutes, I found a staircase that led to the down floor. I hurriedly went down in hopes I would see somebody but when I got to the living room, I didn't see anybody. Was I alone in this big place? I began to panic when I went to the kitchen and still didn't find anybody. I thought of calling Levi, and that was when I realized I
A Little Like Fate 37~ The pool party
LEVI "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it." I stood transfixed, staring at the two watermelons before me. She buttoned her cloth stylishly and then looked at me. Before she could see me staring, I tore my gaze toward another corner. Hehe, don't wanna be caught just yet. "What do you mean by him wanting something? Didn't he agree to the deal because of the testimonies?" She asked innocently. If only she knew why he accepted the deal and invited us to his hotel to complete the transaction. "You. Mr. Anderson wants you." I confessed. Her eyes widened in shock, following a small parting on her lips. "What? Mr. Anderson wants me? What for?" She asked. I didn't know how to explain it to her, plus I didn't want her to change her mind about going to the hotel. "Never mind. I think it's all in my head." I turned to leave. "I'm sorry for touching you inappropriately," I said and began to walk out. I heard her rushed footsteps and I noticed her walking beside me. "It's fine, sir. I'm sure yo
A Little Like Fate 38~ First kiss
LEVI I joked around with my friends, catching up on everything that had been happening in our lives since we all gathered months ago. Of course, they didn't leave out the marriage stuff. They made me explain how I met her and of course, I didn't fail to narrate the story Delia told my family at the first dinner. It wasn't entirely a lie. We did meet on the first day of college when she got into trouble with some rough-looking men because of her big mouth. "Wait, wait, wait! Shut up, bro." Hudson covered my mouth and began swimming to God knows where. My other friends left me and swam to the edge of the pool. I turned to see what caught their attention and holy mama!! The ladies walked out in their multi-colored bikinis, all chattering amongst themselves. Delia was the only person tying a towel and somehow, I wished she'd just removed that God-forsaken towel. "Remove the towel, remove the towel." Hudson anticipated seeing my woman's body but earned him a knock on the head and a de
A Little Like Fate 39~ Extreme advances
DELIA I still hadn't gotten over the kiss with Levi. I kept on touching my lips on the way to the female changing room. The feeling felt surreal, it was hard accepting the fact that everything was real. I didn't think it would come to that. He took things too far. He could have just pecked my cheeks or even a light peck on the lips would do but he went as far as kissing me, even after giving that rule. As I got to the changing room, I pulled my clothes from the hangers and proceeded to wear them when I heard some commotion outside the bathroom. Tying my towel, I opened the door to see some armed men standing inside. What were they doing inside? Who permitted them to enter? "There she is." One of them pointed at me. My heart skipped a beat when he said that. Why was I being wanted? Before any of them could get to me, the girls stood in my defense. I felt relieved seeing that many of them standing in for me. "Move out of the way." One said sternly. "No, we are not letting you thr
