"Stop this Lily. Let's just eat," Edmund said sternly. I raised an eyebrow at him and moved my body closer to make sure my presence radiated more towards him. "What? Chickening out?" His jaw dropped, he had a lot to say but didn't speak. "Don't you want to know how wet I am right now?" It was supposed to be a joke but he pulled me and gave me a torrid kiss. I tried to push him away but both my arms were locked with his right hand while his left hand was holding my neck. Every movement of his lips was intense causing me to feel hot. He released not only my lips but also his grip on me so that I was almost irritated again. "You're so moody... You're happy and then later on you're like a dragon..." I looked at him hard and raised an eyebrow. "What do you want me to do?" He shook his head and turned me not to hug but to sit on the counter. "What the hell, Edmund- Hmm..." Whatever I was about to say was cut off when he nuzzled his head into my neck. I even tilted my head back
Claire and I were both clueless about what was going on but didn't do anything as we were pulled towards a nearby bar where the music was softer and less crowded."Thank you brother!" said Whiteney and blew a flying kiss to the bouncer with a poker face.We found a table near the dancefloor, so sightseeing among the handsome guys became the target of my companions. He looked for them while I simply checked my phone to see if there was a new message."You've been an idiot for a while..." I said to Nina who was sitting next to me."A-Ah... Just thought of something...""Who did we see on the dancefloor earlier in the other bar! You have liver disease, you're a girl!"Bettina squeezed Nina's arm."Who did you see?""Who else is that... Ah hehe... I haven't forgotten anything," Whiteney suddenly retorted."Who?" I repeat my question.Claire shrugged while Nariza smirked."When you answer why we moved bars, I'll get the next pitcher of mojito for free-"Nariza answered before I finished."
I had a headache when I woke up. The part I hate the most. Can't I just drink without a hangover?Oh shit!I rolled out of bed and breathed a sigh of relief because I was in the penthouse.I thought I would wake up in a random stranger's room again just like the first time. I don't know if I can handle it.I checked my clothes. My white top and skirt are gone, replaced by a pajama suit with green avocado prints.Who brought me home?I glanced at the bedside table and only then remembered the aching head.There was a bowl of steaming soup, medicine and two glasses of water sitting there.I took the note on the food tray.'Eat this and drink the meds for your hangover. I'll be back.'I rolled my eyes coz even the note sounds so bossy.I don't have to think about who wrote it because apart from the familiar clean hand writing, only one person will write it.I started the soup first, which is no wonder I finished. Hello, I feel like I threw up everything I ate last night. My stomach is ch
He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief because of my answer. "Did something happen last night, Nina?" "What happened? What could have happened last night?" I rolled my eyes at her. Obviously, she got my question wrong based on her anxiety and reddened cheeks. What I mean is whether he confessed or beat him because I could clearly see his hatred for Lawrence yesterday. "Anyways, Lily, I'm sorry this is what happened on our first night out after years. I didn't expect it to turn out like that." "It's fine... I wanted to get drunk." His forehead was wrinkled. Concern immediately appeared on his face. "Is there a problem?" "Nothing... I just feel like drinking last night. Taste of freedom," I lied. He let out a breath and grabbed my hand to hold it. "Lily, I can't imagine a life without you. You are the one who is always there for me... So if anything is bothering you, you can comfort me..." I smiled sparingly. Not now, Nina. "I'm fine. You know that Mama has been running my
I went down to cook, but the bodyguards helped me with that, so I let it go. Edmund was still in the bathroom so I just watched TV. I almost choked on my own saliva because suddenly there was a commercial break for a showbiz gossip. Mocha was posing on a large flat screen television. That's an exclusive interview. It looks like he just came from an event but was mobbed by the press. There was a lot of noise around but he only answered one specific question. "Mocha, how true is it that you are dating someone new after calling off your engagement with Mr. Blake Morris?" She stopped walking and smiled slightly at the camera, as if shy. And when did this witch has some shame? Last I knew, if there was anything she lacked it was shame and good manners. "Uhm... I'm dating someone right now," she said simply, causing more questions from the reporters. The bodyguards immediately came to his aid. In the back I saw some security guards. "We want to keep it private because he's a busine
When I was satisfied with the arrangement of the table, I then went up to the room to take a shower and get dressed. I made sure I smelled good and my maroon bodycon dress was tangle-free. I applied light make up and sprayed an expensive perfume just to make sure I look pleasant. "Miss, why are you having a candlelit dinner? Is it your birthday?" I smiled sparingly at a bodyguard before shaking my head. "It's our third wedding monthsary. I just want to relax and celebrate." "Oh, ma'am, we're going to bring out the food. You can just stay here on the balcony." I hummed my thanks and let them return the food to the kitchen to arrange it on the terrace. I texted Edmund about what time he would be home but I didn't receive a reply so maybe he is on his way home. "It's all here, Miss," Roy said like a supervisor checking all the details. He is the one I lit the candles in the penthouse. And of all, he was the most tired. "Get some rest, especially those off duty. I'm fine here...
I arrived safely at the mall with Roy alone. Edmund was speechless. I also turned off my cell phone so that no one could contact me. Nina and I talked about meeting at a restaurant inside the mall so I went straight there, of course Roy was a tail. "Hey!" From the menu, I looked up at Nina who looked intrigued. "Do you have any help?" he asked and pushed Roy to the other table not far from us. "Leave it alone, what are we going to eat?" When our food arrived, only then did I remember that my stomach was empty since dinner. "Are you hungry Edmund?" I just grinned at Nina and looked back at the food, why didn't I eat last night? "How are you and Lawrence," I tried to open another topic while we ate dessert. "Usual..." "What is usual?" He bent down and stirred the multilayered ice cream. "He's with someone else I think..." "But... He picked you up last-" What I was going to say hung in the air when I heard her soft sobs. "Mommy just ordered him, Lily... He doesn't really w
I put the cellphone aside and continued to shower. It took me a while because there was only a little bit of shampoo left. Good and I found something in the cabinet.After getting ready, I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling."Dad?" I said weakly when I saw Dad at the foot of my bed.I got up to hug him but immediately backed away when his eyes suddenly lit up."Why are you here?""You are absolutely worthless! What are your grades?" he yelled at me.I immediately felt a tremor in my chest when I remembered one of my majors that was not the highest grade. Everything passed, but my parents can't just pass.I was so nervous."I'll do better next time-""No more next! Don't study!"The strength of his voice made my brain more confused. I don't know how to explain that our laboratory exam is difficult so my grades are not that high.I didn't do well in the microscopic research that was our biology exam because it was at the same time as other subjects, but like our teacher, my mother
