CHAPTER 45 : For Everything (2). "Natalia, I'm hungry." Tommy pouted, leaning on the door frame. With lightening speed, Natalia's eyes flew open and they broke apart in a flash! She stared, with a flushed face, at everything but at the boy before her. "O..Oh. L..let's go?" She stuttered and rushed Tommy outside. Arian stood still, staring after her.That was....He was one second from kissing her? No, he wanted to kiss her.Badly! The young French had never met a girl who'd made him lose control over his emotion in a heartbeat and that realization freaked him out! Slowly, he started to recall all those strange moments he'd caught himself smiling at her memories, looking forward to seeing her and now, losing his rationality being so close to her?Was mom right?Was he really in love??Or was he just attracted??? Gosh! Rick was right. Figuring it out will leave you close to insanity! He shook his head and walked out. In the adjoining living room, Arian spot
CHAPTER 46 : Natural Flirt. "Do you think any of this is easy for me?? Watching my sister get hurt because of my best friend and standing on the sideline unable to do a thing! "Nicky, it kills me to see you cry and get hurt repeatedly." He ended on a softer note."And do you think any of this is easier for me too? Stupidly liking a person who likes someone else and who might probably never look at...." She was cut off by a big hug from Ricky.The tears Nicky had been trying so hard to control started trickling out. She shook beneath him. She felt so weak and tired and stressed that her head started to spin from too much tears.Nicky clutched him tighter like a scared little girl. And that was the truth.She was scared, scared of facing a rejection...*****Ten minutes later, Ricky tucked his sister in bed and laid beside her. They silently faced each other and he kept on tucking stray hairs behind her ear in a soothing way....knowing she needed it."I'm sorry." He muttered after a w
CHAPTER 47 : A New Friend."That jerk is starting to piss me off!" Arian De' Argent growled to himself as they made their way to their penthouse.The elevator moved at the usual pace but to the young French, it was slower than heck! The images of what happened at the parking lot kept surfing through his head, pissing him off!How dare he kiss her?And how dare she let him?!Just to see her, Arian had forced his best friends to come to school early and even ditched Selena, going against his dad's orders to always drive her to school.And eventually, what did his passion get him??Arian wanted to spend time with Natalia. At least his fake illnesses and pains did the trick since the past few days. But now, he wanted her all to himself!Even if she was mad at him, he'ld be glad to accept her temper but won't accept to stay a day without her.Yeah, it was that bad!But the Jerk and the Douchebag, by the name Damon, wanted to ruin his peace!"If I didn't know better, I'ld say the great Aria
CHAPTER 48 : His Sinful LipsArian walked around and sat next to Natalia on the bench."And what's that supposed to mean?" The Princess was still shocked."Sugar, it simply means that to everyone here in the academy... we're together." He gave a sexy smile and softly entwined their fingers. The feel of his warm hand on her tender ones shot tingling sensations up Natalia's arm making her gasp.Natural flirt!Natural flirt!!Her head snapped into action and she flung his hand away, glaring at him in the process. Natalia stood up to leave but Arian held her back in a flirty way."Let go of my hand." She gave him a blunt look. Arian continued to smile and stood up straight, intimidating her with his tall frame."Where are you running off to? It's not like you have a class or something." He pouted his sinful lips like a kid."I...I have to talk with Leonardo." She was adamant."Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I see the jerk following the DM around some minutes ago?" He looked innocent
CHAPTER 49 : THAT NIGHT...The girls had Econs after break. Elva and Natalia sat together at the front while Nicky sat alone behind. They were talking until someone slipped in beside her. Nicky turned to pass a greeting but stopped seeing Jeffrey's smiling face. She looked away immediately.Sorry Jeff, but you aren't gonna make getting over you harder for me."Hey, Nick." He grinned but she only nodded. After saying hi to Elva and Natalia, they naughtily winked at her and faced forward.Silly girls! When did they turn to matchmakers??Nicky thought of leaving. It was the best thing to do. She looked around to see if there was a free seat but found none. The class was full."Is there a reason you're back to being distant?" He worriedly asked. Maybe the 'uninterested' vibe would shun him. She thought and faced her books."Nicky, what happened to our friendship? Are you mad at me?"She still ignored him. When Jeffrey tried to take her hand, she stood up instantly."Who wanna switch sea
CHAPTER 50 : HIS SEDUCTIVE TOUCH."No, no! I meant nothing serious happened between us! Please stop crying. I'm not good with crying girls...or people in general." Arian pleaded and Natalia stopped a bit.He grabbed one of his phones nearest to him. Thankfully, it wasn't ruined like the rest and logged into the school's blog. What Arian saw nearly made him laugh out!It was a picture of the both of them earlier at the school garden. A student obviously took it when they almost kissed. It was shot in a way that it actually looked like they were kissing!They looked so cute together!!"What are you grinning at?!" Natalia whined, wiping her tears completely. Was he really smiling??She tried to poke her head in but Arian kept it away from her, admiring how cute she looked in curiosity."Arian, let me see!" She demanded making him chuckle. The Princess impatiently glared at him. But to the young French, not even the glare could make her less attractive."Okay, fine!" He chuckled when she
CHAPTER 1 : The Renowned Princess. The sweet smell of freshly cut roses wafted through her nostrils as the princess stirred slightly on her too comfy, queen size bed. With an aggrieved groan, the Crown Royal thought of catching a teeny more snooze before the royal maids came into her chambers for the usual morning routine. But sadly enough... "Good morning, your Highness." A courteous voice she knew too well, uh not-too-pleasantly, serenaded her. It was the capable Elva Thompson, the princess's personal aide. "Elva, in the name of all things spicy which you can't live without, please just five more minutes!" Natalia drawled and lazily turned over the other side of the huge bed, cuddling more into one of her countless soft throw pillows. "I apologize, Your Highness, but there's a lot of royal duties to perform today and we're running out of time." Elva replied with the same professional voice which could fool anybody. Well, not everybody though. "No! I ache
CHAPTER 2 : Fall In Love Too. "Well...your loss." Jeffrey replied in the same tone. Everyone chuckled again and even Ricky ended up smirking. Arian simply displayed his legendary eye roll and completed the journey from the stairs to the nearest dining chair. With a curt gesture of his hands, Butler Lee signalled the standby maids and what was left of breakfast was cleared up within minutes. Nanny came over and took little Tommy upstairs while Mom Rose followed behind, fussing over ordering a new collection of children's wears again. Certainly, the old ones were as good as trashed. The rich? Jeffrey Campbell sighed. "Dude, tell me you're taking that baby out on a freakin' helluva ride!" Ricky whistled, looking thrilled the moment the young heirs were left by themselves. With the exception of the family butler, of course. A-mobiles was about to launch another brand new, model sport car and as usual, Arian's father had sent him one in advance. Sir Argen
