(Anastasia's POV)I drag Byron out of the arcade wearing his frowned face. Well, I just kick his ass in the street fighter game and he keeps wanting another round but I noticed the death glare of the kids behind us so I decided to drag Byron out of the arcade. We've been playing in one game for two hours since Byron won't accept defeat."C'mon, just one last round." he insists.I laugh causing him to frown. "Kids in there would practically kill us if you insist on another one round, Byron."He groaned and stare at the entrance of the arcade center. "How much is this building?"My eyes bawled in surprise. "Are you planning to buy this building?"He didn't respond yet he keeps glaring at the building like he wanted to eat this in whole. Seeing the determination in his eyes, I drag him out in front of the building and hailed a cab. We jerk inside his car, forcing him to drive. He let out a sigh before he start the engine and drove away from the arcade center."What were you thinking? Do y
(Anastasia's POV)We arrived at Albany at 5:25.SHIT!!!! I jerk off his car and wave at Byron for a goodbye. I was about to open the main glass door of the entrance building when someone's familiar voice called me."Ana?"It's Caleb!! thank God! I thought he was already upstairs."Why did you wait outside? I can at least greet Mom.""Uhmm... I-It was late s-so I'm wondering if I... I will wait for you here..." I'm trying to hide my nervousness as I am sweating furiously. "And besides, Mom was sleeping when I came out of the unit."He nodded and glance at his watch before he walks to my position. He pulled me beside the main door as I am blocking the entrance of the building and kissed my head."I'm sorry if I'm late, there was an urgent meeting held," he explains."It's okay. Shall we?" I said.Caleb smiled and held my hand before we walk to his car. I took a glance at Byron's car in the opposite direction but his car was gone. He must be dashing off before Caleb might see him. We both
(Caleb's POV)I woke up with a warm feeling on top of me. I slowly open my eyes and saw Anastasia sleeping soundly as her naked body wraps around mine. I groaned and grab the blanket to cover our body, then back into hugging her tightly.While caressing her back, the scene yesterday flashes into my mind again.I saw her...Coming out from the other car.And I recognize those plate numbers.I know that belongs to Byron. That car where she came out belonged to Byron. She was with Byron yesterday.Why...Why did she lie?Why she's with Byron?But I don't want to jump to a conclusion. She said she loves me. Anastasia loves me. I won't suspect her feelings towards me were not genuine because I know that she really means everything she says but... why did she lie to me?She already knows how much I hate Byron, should she take the initiative to distance herself away from him? cant she reconsiders that to be on my side?I want to get angry.I want to scowl at her.But I don't want to see hurt
(Anastasia's POV)Today, I was spending my day with Ally, I've been so busy with my life that I forgot I have a best friend who's planning to have a vacation here. We haven't seen each other for many years and I feel like there are way too many secrets between us.We were at the cafe in front of the airport. "By the way, how many days were you going to stay here?"She shot me a glare, I mean... death glare.What?! Did I say something weird? I was just asking though. Is my question sound offending? It is not like I'm kicking her out this instance but I was just curious dude."I was hoping that you prepared something special for my special day. And yet, you're asking how long am I going to stay here? Are you serious right now, my dear Anastasia?" she sneered with her raised brows.Her special day?I spotted a calendar on the wall... SHIT!It's her birthday!! What the fudge am I thinking?!! forgetting her birthday is a huge sin for her."O-OH! Happy Birthday, Ally! H-How can I forget your
(Anastasia's POV)I squinted my eyes to adjust my vision as I am not sure because only the woman's back was flaunted in front of me. As I was walking slowly, I accidentally bump into the edge of the couch causing me to groan in pain as it directly hit my thigh. I rub my thigh while silently cursing."Ana?" I raise my head to see Caleb walking towards me. "Are you okay?" he asks but I step back causing him to stop in his trance."What... What is she doing here?" I pointed at Lianne, standing and staring at me with full of vengeance."She--" he was cut off."Caleb we're not done yet!" she yelps irately.I chuckle, "Not done with your smooching?" I ask Caleb with raised brows."Wait-- what? What smooching are you talking about?" he ask with full of confusion plastered on his face.I just roll my eyes while scoffing at his so-called innocence. I didn't respond and walked passed him but he suddenly grabs and pull my arm causing me to bump into his chest. He leans closer and smells my face,
(Anastasia's POV)"Something happened to us."I am left breathless like I am running on a treadmill, or rowing away as if some ghost from the past is chasing me. There is burning in my lungs as I desperately try to draw in enough air to sustain functionality. Slowly, I felt my heart punctured a million times over by tiny pins. It feels as if his statement left me numb, not even slightly painful, just numb.H-HOW DARE HE DO THIS TO ME?! I THOUGHT HE LOVES ME. IS THAT ALL A LIE? AM I THAT DUMB TO BELIEVE HIS WORDS AND TRUST HIM FULLY?I feel my face flush a deep shade of red, and I scrunched up my features as I avoided his eyes. A lump in my throat was about to burst and it really did, a low whimper started to let out from my mouth as my tears falls spontaneously. I cover my face with my palms and turned my back to him. I held my knees to control my breathing.I can't face him. I can't show this side of me. I don't want him to see how weak and vulnerable I am today."But that was in coll
(Anastasia's POV)Everything was packed. The luggage was ready in the car. I wanted to clear my bladder so I went to the bathroom one last time.The Campsite was hours away from here. So, it's going to be a long journey. I brought along Alice and Adam. Damian had ordered 10 pizzas just in case we get hungry along the way and don't see any restaurants.Yes, Damian was coming with us. He just arrived from Australia last night, and Caleb invited him to this camping which makes me more furious as Lianne was joining in too.What a perfect situation!Stepping out of the bathroom, I saw Caleb carrying luggage, striding to the main door. I guess it's time to go.I strode outside the mansion and felt envious of the expensive cars lining down the garage. Damian and Adam brought their sports car Ferrari but we are not using their cars as we were driving Caleb's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to fit us all in one car instead.Once inside the van, me in the passenger seat as Caleb is the driver today, our
(Anastasia's POV)The surrounding was buzzing with energy and excitement. We were told that the Camp will officially start tonight. Until then, we had to set our tents. We could look around if we wanted to. The boys and girls were separated. So, Caleb, Damian, and Adam had to go to the other side of the river which flowed from a huge waterfall in the middle of the clearing. There was a bridge connecting both sides. It looked pretty cool.When the guys left, Caleb didn't even take a glance at me which makes me feel more annoyed and frustrated.Why is he that angry?I should be the one who's angrier as I saw him kissing Lianne the other day, though it's not him who initiated it.I rolled my eyes at him and scanned the surroundings. All the females present were around our age. There were no old ones which I was glad for. I didn't need those cranky and judgmental ass ladies spoiling and ruining my Camp. There were blondes, brunettes, redheads, and colorful heads like Ally. Some were short
