CASSANDRA I awkwardly put my finger on his face and softly pushed him away from me, which made him chuckle. He grabbed my hand and put it beside me, and my eyes widened when he placed his chin on my shoulder. I became stiff like a board of wood, looking at his face. He was looking outside the window with a smile on his lips. I slowly raised my hand, placed my finger on his face again, and pushed it, but he wouldn't budge. "You are making her uncomfortable. Move away." Adrian, who had just returned, told him I don't know where he goes, but Xander only clicked his tongue. "Feel comfy." He said with a teasing smile on his lips. "But I don't feel comfy at all." I shrieked, finally getting my voice back, then pushed his face again. Instead of moving away, he leans his whole weight on me. "Xander!! I whined
CASSANDRA You can use this room. That one is mine. On the left is Adrian, and the rooms at the other end of the hallways are where Dan, Andrea, and their children usually stay when they are here. Billy and Jack stay on the ground floor. "You seem very close to them. I didn't notice it before." "I always invited them when Adrian and some of our friends came here. You should get inside and freshen up, then go back downstairs so we can all eat lunch together." "Okay, thank you." He nodded and also went inside his room. Jenny and I went inside our shared room, and our eyes instantly met; we squealed but quickly covered our mouths, embarrassed, and jumped on the four-poster bed. It's huge. It can fit four to five people. "Cassy, our room is huge and beautiful," Jenny commented, and I nodded. A flat-screen TV is mounted on the wall, and there is a small receiving area wi
CASSYI woke up around seven the following day, and Mama and Jenny weren't in bed anymore. Why didn't they wake me up? I pouted and quickly went inside the bathroom and took a bath. "Alex, why he didn't call me last night? He always called me every night, but why didn't he last night? I call him after I bathe. As I was heading down the stairs, I dialed Alex's number. I found everyone in the dining room eating breakfast." Good morning." I greeted. Alex's phone rang. I looked at Xander when his phone rang as well."Excuse me. I only take this." He said and hurriedly left the table. I settled on my seat, waiting for Alex to answer after thinking he wouldn't pick it up. I heard his voice on the other line."Good morning, Angel." "Good morning," I replied, smiling. I heard Adrian chuckle and Billy, Jack, Aries, and Sarah, but I ignored them."Y
CASSANDRA Can we follow them now?" I asked when he stayed rooted in his spot, looking at me. "Ah, yes." He stuttered. "Why you're stuttering?" "I'm not." He said, leading me to the slides. "Wow! This slide is long." I whispered to Xander as we followed the queue of people who wanted to go on the slide. "Are you scared?" "No! Why would I? It's just a slide." He chuckled but didn't comment on it. He pulled me in front of him when the guy behind us tried to talk to me with his arms on my shoulder. My bareback touched his chest. I tried to move, but he stopped me. "Stay like that so I could cover your back. They are staring." He whispered. "It's normal for people to stare," I said, rolling my eyes. "You're s
CASSANDRA I bolted up from the bed when I noticed that the sun was already brightly shining in the sky, and I was alone. What time is it now? I grabbed my phone on the bedside table and gasped to see it was almost noon. "Why does no one wake me up?" I thought, running inside the bathroom to take a quick bath. I wore blue jeans, a striped black and white shirt, and a black Converse. Then, I brushed my still-wet hair and let it air dry before running out of my room and down the stairs. When I reached downstairs, I found no one. "Where are they? Did they leave me behind?" My heart deflated with the thought, but I shrieked in fright when someone poked my side. Jenny laughed when she saw my frightened face, which earned me a glare, but she only giggled. I frowned when I saw she was only wearing a swimsuit. "Finally, you're awake,
CASSANDRAWhat should I say? Xander is looking at me with hopeful eyes, but why am I thinking about Alex? Since we went to the ice rink, I have felt that he and Alex are one person. I didn't voice this to anyone, but I strongly think Alex and Xander are one person. At that time, He called me Angel, but why was he hiding his true identity if he was Alexander? "I can wait." It snapped me out of my thoughts. "Why do you like me? We only met a few months ago. I'm sure you have already met many women better than me. I'm only a university student; compared to you, I'm nothing, while you are professional and have a stable job. "I like you not because of your achievements. You have a beautiful heart, An... What I mean Cassy and I know you enough to know who you are. " Fear passed his eyes for a few seconds, but quickly he hid it. He almost call
CASSANDRA"Why are you still standing there? Come, we don't have enough time." Sarah said. I walked to them, and Jenny quickly pushed me to sit. And they quickly did my hair and make-up, and after thirty minutes, they were done and now helping me with my dress. I put on my ankle boots and then looked at my reflection in the mirror, and my eyes widened. I looked different. They gave me smoky eyes and light makeup, but my lips were painted bloody red. And the dress hugged every curve of my body, showing enough cleavage. My hair was tied in a ponytail, showing my neck. I look mature in this kind of dress and make-up."So?" Jenny grinned."Not bad." "Yah! They both said, and I winced when they slapped my shoulder."You look stunning, hot, and sexy right now," Sarah said and glared at me."Okay, you two did great. Satisfied?" Sarah smirked. "I'm sure Mr. Kwon will drool on you," Sarah said, and they high-fived
CASSANDRA"Hi, Angel." I smiled, wrapped my arms around him, and leaned my face on his chest. My action surprised him for a few seconds, and he stopped moving. I smiled and waited for him to snap from his trance and savor the feeling of his arms around me.After a minute, he cleared his throat and finally started to move to the music, but I kept my arms around him and my face on his chest. His arms tighten around me, and he leans his chin on the crown of my head."Thank you for everything you did for me," I started. My life turned upside down because of what you did—in a good way, and I don't know how to repay you.""I'm not expecting anything. As long as you are happy, that's enough for me. I witnessed how you suffered from the hand of your own family, and I wanted you to experience happiness too.""Tell me, do you have anything in m
