September came. It's been months since my birthday happened but I didn't celebrated it. I was alone and it wasn't much special to me unlike other people. But now, it's different.Today is Elijah's birthday and I keep hearing my phone ringing because kuya William is calling me. The group wanted to have a party in Matthew's bar and I am going there. It just that, the flight I was with earlier got delayed so I am already late for the party. I got my luggages and decided to go to the hotel room assigned for me to put all my things. It will be hassle if I go to my unit. Nagpasya rin ako na rito na magpalit.I wear a leather mini skirt with a zipper in front, I matched it with a sleeveless black shirt and got a white jacket to complete my look. And a high heel sandal will do. I wear dark makeup and used a brown contact lens to hide my eye color. After I got my purse, I am off to go.I am already at the lobby when I bumped into someone. Agad napaawang ang labi ko nang makilala ang taong 'yo
My heart pounded as I stared at his green eyes. Seryoso siyang nakatitig sa akin. Hindi ko matukoy kung seryoso rin ba siya sa sinabi niya. Dahil pinaasa niya na ako no'ng sabihin niyang may nararamdaman na siya para sa akin.Just like when he asked me before, few months ago, he also asked me this question and he then took it back. I don't want to hear it again—that he just find it as a joke. Kaya naman hinihintay kong ituloy niya ang sasabihin, pero wala na siyang idinugtong doon.“You're joking, right?” tanong ko pagkatapos ng mahabang katahimikan sa pagitan namin. Napabuntong-hininga ako habang nakalapat ang mga kamay sa dibdib niya. His fine breathing was all I can hear before I felt his hand on my waist went up to my cheeks. He made me looked at him. “I'm serious now. I want to court you,” he softly said and caressed my cheeks. “I want to be responsible for what we've done. I want you to be mine.”I furrowed, completely confused. The last time he told me was that 'it's just s*
“You will not go to work?”Narinig kong tanong ni Elijah nang makita akong lumabas ng kwarto kinabukasan. Nakasuot pa ako ng pajama at walang planong lumabas ng condo para sa araw na ito.Iniisip ko pa rin kung paano ko lalapitan si Jake sa ganitong sitwasyon. Ang hirap sumingit sa oras niya lalo na't abala siya sa sariling pamilya. He has a family to take care of. I don't think it will be easy to have an appointment with him. “No, I'm still on leave,” I said. I've finished my shift for this month and took a week leave from work. Aside from that, someone signed it as soon as I requested for that. It must be Jake's or someone else. "Okay," sabi niya. Nasa condo ko na naman siya at naghanda para sa brunch namin ngayon.Lumapit ako kay Elijah at niyakap ang kaniyang likod. Wala itong suot na t-shirt kaya ramdam ko ang init ng katawan nito. I can feel his abs against my palms as I touched it. I giggled when I pinched one of it. “Rielle...”"I want pancakes, Elijah," I mumbled and sni
I can't keep my eyes away from kuya Rash while he keeps his eyes on the crowd. I can see the smirk plastered on his lips and I begin to think if he's just joking or what. But based from his expression, he's not just joking. Matagal ko na ring hinihintay si kuya Dash. Laking gulat ko lamang nang may sumulpot na naka V-neck shirt at pinaresan ng black board shorts. His hair was brushed up, different from kuya Rash that has undercut hairstyle. I agaped when my eyes met his brown orbs. Dash Ferrer, his identical twin, is here!Kaswal siyang naglalakad patungo sa direksyon namin at diretso niya akong tiningnan. Hindi man lang niya sinulyapan ang kakambal niya na katabi rin ni kuya William. Sobrang nabigla ako nang makita ko siya kaya hindi ako makapagsalita.I felt Elijah's arms let go of me before I felt him whispered on my ear. "Go to him."I nodded before I step forward. I was already a meter away from him. Hindi siya ngumiti o tumango. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin. And there's no em
We decided to go back to our room nang makita namin si Denver sa hallway. Hindi siya nag-iisa. May kasagutan siyang babae na sa tingin ko ay kasing edad ko lang base sa pangangatawan niya. Denver faced and pinned her on the wall. While I am just beside Elijah, watching them.“You know where 'she' is!” Tinuro ni Denver ang direksyon namin kaya nakita niya kami. Bahagya pa siyang nagulat bago siya tumayo ng tuwid at humarap sa amin na nakakunot ang noo. The woman grips on his arms as if she's afraid of us but recognition plastered on the woman's eyes as it diverted to me.Kumunot ang noo ko. She looks familiar. Her short hair really suits her chubby cheeks. She has dark toned skin and set of brown eyes. She's voluptuous and beautiful with the way she handle herself. Where did I see... U-huh! She's Carmienne's sister!“R-rielle?” Narinig kong bulong niya. Binitawan ko ang kamay ni Sean Elijah at lumapit sa kaniya. I smiled before I glanceed at Denver who's curiously looking at us.
After we talked with Sharmienne, Denver and I went to our respective rooms. My mind was preoccupied with this plan of ours. They want me to be the 'bait' to lure Jake out. As expected. This was also the one that Noah told me. But I feel scared to execute this. Even with that thought, I know Elijah will be against it. Earlier, he was refraining himself. He even left our room that's why it was me and Denver who came to Sharmienne. He was mad with the idea of his co-members but he can't do anything about it. He knows the risks if we cancel their plan. It will damage me or the other targets. Napabuntong-hininga ako kaya napansin iyon ni Denver. Huminto siya nang malapit na kami sa kwarto ko at sumulyap sa akin. "Sigurado ka bang mapagkakatiwalaan natin si Sharmienne?" tanong niya. Tumingin ulit ako sa kaniya at tumango. I was the one who told them about Sharmienne being our ally. She's perfect and fits the duty to be our spy. As of now, siya na ang magbabantay s
Naramdaman ko ang pagpintig ng aking ulo habang dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata. Matamlay akong nakahiga sa malambot na kama. Agad kong nilibot ang paningin at ni wala akong makita dahil nilalamon ng dilim ang buong kwarto.Naalala ko bigla ang nangyari kagabi. Nagsimula na namang lumuha ang mga mata ko hanggang sa humagulgol na ako. Patuloy na kumirot ang puso ko sa pag-aalala tungkol kay Elijah, sa mga kapatid ko at sa iba ko pang kaibigan.Biglang bumukas ang pinto kaya pumasok ang ilaw mula sa labas. Nakita ko ang anino ng lalaking kinamumuhian ko ngayon. With the sight of him, I feel my blood boils. He turned on the light making me saw him completely. I immediately glared as our eyes met. I gritted my teeth and he saw it. He was just at the door, observing me."Gising ka na pala," sabi niya. “I must say you have a nice sleep after what happened last night. The drug I injected on you, worked.”“You assh*le!” I hissed. Sinubukan k
The next few days, I always ended up being inside of the bathroom and feel like throwing up on the sink. There's nothing coming out except for my saliva. My body felt heavy as if I am having a fever. Lorecia noticed it that's why she's assisting me. “I-I’m fine,” sabi ko kaagad nang gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. Parang kakaiba ang aking tiyan. I'm not hungry nor what pero may gusto akong kainin. Weird.“Ma'am, isang oras na po kayo pabalik-balik sa banyo. Wala ka naman pong naisuka.”“Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito pero huwag mo munang sabihin ito kahit kanino, okay?”"Okay, ma'am," sabi niya. "By the way ma'am, nagdala po ako ng lunch niyo." Tumango ako at bahagyang ngumiti sa kaniya. Nakita ko ang mga iyon sa bed side table. May kanin sa plato, Tinolang manok at isang basong tubig.I nodded and went to my bed. I eat my food while Lorecia is waiting for me. But when I tasted it, I almost vomit again. I pinched my nose and we
