Encounter Chapter 11- Ignition
MATTHEW'S POVI thought I was struck with lightning after kissing Aleia. Her lips is soft as cotton balls, it tastes like grape wine that can take anyone's sanity. I would like to make it deeper but the waitress was there and I was hesitant about how would Aleia would react after. We just met this morning but it seems that I have known her a long time ago. I wanted more. I am just a man with needs but I can't just take advantage of her. She's the only one I knew on this island. Without her, I'll become a lost soul roaming around. She was looking away from me after the kiss. Silence covered us making our coffee cold already. Twilight has started to dominate and the sun was out completely. "Aleia."It's me who decided to break the silence. After all, I need to take charge of my action. But I almost lost my sane when she looked at me. She looked bothered and confused. Though she tried to smile "Mmm...about the kiss. I'm-" I was about to say sorry but she interrupted.She raised her ha
Encounter Chapter 12- Realization
Aleia's POVMy knees are still trembling, my heart pounding heavily as I hide behind the bathroom door. What did the hell happen? We were making out for the fact that we met just this morning. I almost get naked in front of him. Thank God, Cleofe came. My emotions and desire carried me. I have loved him since I was ten, contented to see him from afar, dreaming of being with him. And suddenly, he was here with me, and I almost gave in to him knowing that he would be engaged to my dear sister.But until when do I have to give way for her? Dad told me before to give Nathalie what she wanted because that brat has a heart problem. We should do everything to make her happy to avoid complications. But it seemed that we had the same taste in almost everything that we even fell in love with one man. We are both in love with Zach, but she was not aware of it. It might put me in a challenging situation knowing that her mother hates my existence. I avoided Zach as far as I could; I hid in my ro
Encounter Chapter 13-Dinner
MATTHEW'S POVWatching Aleia smile with her hair blown by the wind was like watching the sunrise after heavy rain. Her smile can calm even troubled water, and her hand is soft and warm, locked with mine. I squeezed her hand as we strolled to the cottage for our dinner.I am not hungry at all. I mean, after what happened, I couldn't focus on any other things. A part me of was guilty of doing that, and a part wanted more of it too. I took advantage of her. She was not like any other woman who clung to me for my name or money. I don't want her to think that I'm a pervert. She was still silent after we reached the cottage. Cleofe was there also waiting for us. If not because of this little brat, something could have happened. Maybe I should thank Cleofe for that beautiful interruption. Cleofe was looking at our clasped hands. She was smiling, and I saw her bump Ale with her questioning look. She is a curious type of kid her age."Ehem! Lovebirds?" she said as we walked to the table. I
Encounter Chapter 14- Sweats All Over
ALEIAWhen I reached home, I immediately looked for my diary. This is the diary that I have kept since I was ten. Every inch of my feelings for Zach was written here since the first day that we met.I could still see the handwriting of a little girl. I smiled. Today was unexpected, but I think it was the best day. The man I loved came like a falling star in front of me. I never asked or expected it to happen, but I guess it is a sign that I should start fighting for what I want. I lay in bed thinking of everything that had happened today. I do not know what happened to Natalie and Zach. But I just followed what my heart wanted. I do not have regrets after all.Whatever the reason is, this time, I'm sure I can't just let him go quickly. I need to get back on my place and claim what is mine. Not for the money but to have Zach. I need to gather my thoughts and think of a plan. I have been hiding and giving them all the time they wanted. I gave way for Nathalie for so long already. Ma
Encounter Chapter 15- It is you
MATTHEWI can't stop myself from smiling. Everything is perfect right now. The place where I landed and Aleia. This is the kind of life that every man wanted, but I know I can't stay here forever. I just need to buy some time, hoping that when I come back, the engagement thing is gone.But I think I can't go on with my life without her. I wanted to take her with me. She is the perfect girl that I am looking for. Plain, simple, independent. But would she leave this place just to be with me? This is her home."Zach, are you coming with me tonight?" she asked while she was sitting beside me. I volunteered to drive for her. This girl is doing a man's job. For God's sake. "Where are we going?" I asked and took a glance at her. She was looking outside, and then she looked at me. "Jake's birthday," she replied. The thought of that man irritated me. He was so intimidating, and I was somehow jealous when she was with him. "Not sure. Are you that close?" I asked"Jake is one of my childh
Encounter Jealous
AleiaI dropped by to buy a gift for Jake. Jake was one of my childhood friends here on the island. We used to attend grade school. Not until dad brought me to the city again, he love surfing, so I bought a pair of surfing attire. He would indeed love it.But then I noticed a pair of summer attire. Zach's image came flashing like a movie clip. It would look great on him. It is a pair of white vests and board shorts. I decided to buy it for him even though it's not his birthday."Is that for him?"I turned around and saw Zach behind me. I was about to open the door when he came. I just gave him a slight nod."Come in," I said after opening the door. He strolled as his eyes scanned the entire living room of my house."You have a nice house. It's quite big, too.""Thank you. Do you want anything? I mean coffee or tea?"I put the gifts I bought on the table. "Just don't bother. I know that you still need to attend someone's birthday," he said, bitterly. "You're not coming with me?" I as
Encounter Chapter 17 - I want you
MatthewI was about to go to sleep but I just couldn't close my eyes knowing that Ale was still out with Jake. Jealousy ate me until I decided to follow her. I won't meddle with their affairs, I just want to make sure that she would be safe tonight.How lucky that bastard is to be loved by her that much? I chose to wear the summer attire she gave me last time. I smiled while I was looking at the mirror. It fits perfectly fine to me. How did she manage to buy me such a cute gift? So sweet!I strolled in the darkness and in the cold night. I was not sure where Jake's house was located. I was just strolling feeling the night mood on the shore. Then I thought of asking Cleofe and she even volunteered to drop me there.There were only a few visitors when I arrived. I just hid in the coconut tree nearby as I watched them laugh, eat, and sing. Then, I saw Ale with a group of men, with Jake. I guess they were teasing them. They laughed so hard that it almost broke my eardrum. A few moments
Encounter Chapter 1
MATTHEW'S POV( KTI Tower)I yawned as I take off my coat inside my office. I'm still drowsy and I feel like I didn't get enough sleep last night. I sat in the swivel chair and leaned there. I closed my eyes and felt the cold coming from the AC.I sat up straight and stretched out my arms afterward and called my secretary. It took few moments before she picked up the phone. Maybe she was still busy cleaning up her area since it's still early."Good morning, Sir. How can I help you?" she answered enthusiastically. She still hasn't faded. She is still the same person I hired a few years ago. "Good morning! Can you please bring me a cup of coffee?" "Sure, sir. Your coffee will be served in less than five minutes." I laughed because I felt like I was in a coffee shop at what she said. She never failed to amaze me with her humor."Five minutes is too long for a cup of coffee, miss. Make it three, if you can't then let me talk to your manager then." I joked. I also heard her laugh in the o
