Cameron’s
I sank into the couch, looked outside the sliding patio door, and stared at the almost empty beach. The sun was fading into the horizon, flashes of orange and pink in its wake. And my attention was caught when I heard the door opened, and here comes the man that I thought I’d hate forever.
Reciting the poem to him was the right thing to do. I don’t know what came to me, but he deserves to know that someone was looking after me when he turned his back on me. I want him to realize that everything is perfectly fine, even without him. I’ll be fine. A calmness settled over me. I let myself feel happy even after a couple of hours. I let it inside of me even though he hurt me and caused me so much pain. It’s okay, I guess. Because no matter what, he would

Chapter 25 I didn’t sleep that night. Not that I should have come as any surprise to me. I lay awake in my bed, reliving the past. I oath to move on, and yet here I am. I remember when we first met, Alejandro and his pink handcuff when he easily defeated the culprit, and we indeed up laughing together when we found out that we were actually lost in that dark alley. And how he’d swept my feet off into a passionate and all-consuming relationship. From the first day he asked me out, we hadn’t spent a single day apart for several weeks. By the end of the first month of our whirlwind courtship, I finally said yes. And that moment, I experienced how sweet my first ‘I love you is. I had never been quite sure why he’s chosen me. It wasn’t as if I was infe

I was laying in my bed, feeling numbed by the painful memories. And now, here in this house. I thought I could forget the past, but I was wrong. How could I forget and put it all behind if my past is haunting me? Now that Alejandro was acting strange, what does he want? Move forward and pick up where we had left? Do I also have to forget that people I trust had horribly betrayed me? When I heard a soft knock on the door and I heard Alejandro’s voice calling me, I roused myself from the weight of my thoughts, and cursed when It was already morning and I didn’t get a proper sleep, all that I did was better than catnap. I struggled to get out of the bed and hauled my robe around my body, then staggered to the door and open it. When I open

Chapter 27 Alejandro’s It was already afternoon, and I am worried sick when Cameron didn’t answer my calls I can’t even reach her. I let myself into the house and searched every corner of the living room and looked around for Cameron. “Cameron?” I called on her name. But no one is answering. I even checked on her room. Luckily it was open, and I hoped that she’s just taking her nap. But the room was empty and messy. My heart beats raced. What if something happened to her? The phone that I give her was on the top of the side table, still on the box. I rushed outside. When I saw the beach, I know her. She will break everything that I said once she was on the be

Chapter 28 “Hey, I was looking for you, and Damian didn’t even tell me where to find you, and he just said that you are busy,” Emma said as she approached our table. She’s wearing a white summer dress and a big Buri hat. She looks elegant as usual she walks as if she owns the place. “Yeah, I need to attend to some business matters. How about you? What are you doing in here?” I casually ask. I stood up and greet her. I brushed a polite kiss over her cheek when Emma presented it to me and I tried to remove my hand from her grip when she grabbed onto it. “Well. I’m here for vacation and to attend to some business. I just brought a villa in this area. I’m so in love with the place you want to check?” and Emma’s laughter tinkled out like a fine china d

Cameron's Once I get inside my room, I bolted the door behind me and sat on the edge of the bed, and outside I can hear a harsh loud knocking and Alejandro’s voice through the door. I was too angry to give a damn that he’d own the house; I don’t give a damn if he will destroy my bedroom door. Everything was fine, really fine, even though I don’t know what to call it. And now, whatever it was, I wanted out It was already enough that Alejandro had humiliated me with our past that was hanging on the edges and now that brainless airhead woman is piling on as well? Damn! Fuck them all! They could go all to hell. I drastically looked at my door when it flew open, revealing a livid Alejandro. Yeah, well, he wasn’t the only one, and I wasn’t backing down. I got on my feet and faced him head-on. “What the hell is wrong with you, Cameron? This is extremely not like you. What do you think you could accomplish by avoiding me? Ignori

"I'm sorry," his voice was thick with regret and it was full of emotions while his hands were gently caressing my hair. "You have to know that Emma is one of my business partners and she's the one only who agreed on my uncle's crazy idea and their sole reason was to cause trouble between us." I went still after I heard what he said. I know his uncle. And he doesn't like me anyway no more questions to ask. But I want to break free of this conversation, and we who keep on pulling some punches. Words are the deadliest weapon a human had invented. "Are you ready to admit that your uncle hates me and would do anything to get rid of me? If you didn't talk to Emma about us, then who the hell did you think did?" "I know," he whispered, "and I'll be honest with you. Emma was the one who gave your pictures with my brother. Back then, it clouded my mind with anger. Who wouldn't the woman you love betrayed you? It was beyond painful, Cameron. And after I put you

The admission was blunt, so plain and painfully laid out. Almost as if he wasn’t happy with the truth of the words, but said them all the same. And he stared at me. His discomfort radiates and I can see it in his eyes. I started back, baffled and unable to form a single word to his declaration. Cause’ I need to think it through and weigh everything. He didn’t love me. He didn’t trust me. He easily believed the absolute worse about me. And he is willing and easy to accept that my child is his just like that, but in his mind, I slept with someone. But... he wanted to marry me. I can’t help to laugh. It was a hysterical, shrill, unpleasant sound. Alejandro’s eyes narrowed. “That wasn’t exactly the response that I was expecting for.” My eyes widened. “What? Was that a proposal?” I can’t help to swallow the laughter cause this time he was wearing an extremely dark, agitated look. He gripped th

“Will you sleep with me tonight, Cameron?” My eyes widened, and my heart was about to explode. What is happening to him? “Fuck!” Alejandro cursed. “That came out completely wrong. What I mean is. Actually, sleep, sleep. Just sleeping together in a same bed. I’d like to hold you again. Nothing more, nothing less. Just allow me to hold you again.” The idea of lying in his arms, that I can snuggle into his body and tangling my legs with his… It was so interesting that I suddenly wanted it more than my next breath. I took a deep breath and nodded. Just sleeping no monkey business. He reached over, took my hand and he simply hold it, our fingers entwined tightly. And he leaned back and positioned himself up on his elbow at an angle and then pulled me so I could rest against his chest. We remained that way until some workers came out to light the torches along the beach as dusk deepened and the stars began to pop in the sky.
