As they were heading toward his car, Marty could not help but smile as he remembered the softness of Cassandra's lips. The sweet taste of her mouth still lingers. Their bodies fit together as though they’re made for each other.
At this point, Marty already admitted to himself that he fell head over heels for Cassandra. A while ago when he held Alexia’s waist, he felt disgusted. He even couldn’t bring himself to kiss Alexia.
While on their way to the restaurant, the scene while back kept on flashing in her mind. She felt her face flush and a tingling sensation blanketed her body.
No matter how much she tries to take it out of her mind, it keeps popping out. For the first time, she felt no disgust about the kiss. As opposed to kissing her co-actors during the shoot, she wanted to throw up.
Marty, at the same time, observes Cassandra, since she is silent. He tried to read her, but couldn't get the slightest idea what she was thinking.
"Are you angry?" Marty couldn't hold back, he has never experienced being ignored by a woman. Wherever he goes, he is always surrounded by women ready to flirt with him and jump into his bed.
Cassandra didn't say anything since she didn't know what to say. She wanted to pretend to be angry, but that's not how she feels at the moment. Actually, she's ecstatic because of that kiss.
"I'm sorry." Marty could hardly stand Cassandra's silence.
Marty hadn't been this way before. He was never anxious about women. He's used to having women do whatever pleases him and was never treated like an air.
He's concerned that Cassandra treated him as nothing. Cassandra is indifferent toward him, whereas she is warm when it is Graham. The pain he feels is akin to a dagger piercing a heart.
"Sir Marty, let's just forget about it." Cassandra finally said.
"Let's just think nothing transpired between us." Cassandra went on. Though Cassandra said that, images of what happened lingered in her mind.
Considering that her love for him will be her downfall. She's careful not to let Marty know how she felt about him. Nonetheless, she's having a hard time repressing her love for Marty.
"Alright," Marty agreed but deep down, he couldn't shake it off his head. It was the sweetest kiss he has ever had though Cassandra didn't respond.
However, Marty became anxious as he had a hunch that after tonight Cassandra will avoid him at all cost. It made him determined, he's not going to give up, he's going to do whatever it takes to have her heart.
The minute they walked into the restaurant, a waiter approached them.
"Hi Miss Christine, how are you?" said the waiter.
"I am perfectly fine. How about you? " Christine/Cassandra smiled.
"I'm fine too." The waiter answered, and then she glanced at Marty.
"It's been a while, you always come here every weekend with Dr. Graham. You haven't been here for a month, though. So I thought..." Cassandra noticed that the waiter was constantly looking at Marty.
Cassandra perceived what she meant. So she didn't let her finish her sentence. "By the way, this is Marty," Cassandra said.
"Is he your new boyfriend?" Cassandra was taken by surprise.
She didn't see it coming. She never thought that waiter would have the audacity to throw something like that around.
"No, he isn't. He is just a friend" Cassandra was flustered.
Marty's body tense up at Cassandra's last three words 'just a friend. ' He felt as if his heart was pierced with a dagger. He wanted to be more than a friend to Cassandra.
He is wondering why Cassandra is not interested in him. Is it retribution for him because he broke too many hearts? And now that he fell in love, the object of his love doesn't share the same feeling with him.
"Oh, I see." the server said. "That means you're still with Dr Graham.".
Marty was agitated as he felt that the server was already poking her nose in other people's businesses.
Christine/Cassandra kept her cool, although the server is getting on her nerves now. She didn't know why the waiter became like that when she was courteous to them before. She thought about what had gotten into her.
"Give us a couple of minutes to look at the menu and I'll call you later once we've already decided what to order." Cassandra said to surreptitiously tell her to leave them alone.
While Cassandra was speaking, she could feel Marty’s intense gaze.
"Okay," the waiter left them.
In order to evade Marty’s intense gaze, Cassandra immediately looked into the menu. Marty frowned as he could feel Cassandra’s coldness towards him.
"So, you and your friend come here every weekend." Marty stressed out the word 'friend'. He placed the menu on the table and looked at Cassandra.
"Yes, " said Cassandra as she placed the menu on the table and looked into Marty's eye.
Cassandra could see, gloom in Marty's silver eyes. She wonders why there is sadness in his eyes. She ignored it, thinking that she was wrong and she was just seeing things.
"How long have you been friends?" Marty feels he is being nosy but he can't help himself.
"From the time I joined the industry," Cassandra replied.
"Is he pursuing you?" Cassandra blushed at Marty's question which didn't escape Marty's notice.
"Yes." Cassandra bowed her head as she could not look into the eyes of the man who has her heart without him knowing it.
"Do you love him?" Cassandra cocked her head.
She couldn't believe she's being interrogated by Marty. Her heart flutters as she feels he is interested in her seeing his eyes full of longing.
Knowing her answer will give him a hint, Cassandra did not answer Marty’s question. She refuses to become Marty’s plaything and it is the last thing she desires in life. She wants to be loved and cherished by Marty and it is impossible because he changes his lover the same way he changes his clothes.
Alexia answered the door as soon as she heard the doorbell chime. Marty promised to her that he will come to her condo after he finishes his business. After taking Cassandra home, he headed to Alexia’s condominium. Marty went in, Alexia hugged Marty’s neck the moment the door closed. “Babe, I missed you.” It’s been 3 months since Marty came to see her. While hugging his neck, Alexa tiptoed to kiss Marty, but he dodges. Alexia got hurt when Marty steered clear of her. Marty removed her hand that was wrapped about his neck and walked into the floor to ceiling window. “Babe, what’s the matter with you?” Alexia followed him and hugged his waist. Marty removed her hand from his waist and turned t
Pleased to hear Cassandra call him by his first name, Marty could not help smiling from ear to ear. Seeing Marty, smiling at her like that makes Cassandra weak - kneed. She could hear her heart pounding wildly. "Why are you here?" Cassandra was baffled why he came at such an hour. “Won’t you invite me in?” Marty’s bright face instantaneously changed into gloom upon hearing her question. Cassandra is debating with herself whether to ask him to come in or chase him away. However, seeing his glum expression, she opened the door wide for Marty to come in. “Have a seat while I make coffee for you.” Cassandra said while closing the door.
Before sunup, Marty woke up. He felt a soft hand beneath his shirt wrapped around his chest. It suddenly dawned on him that he slept in Cassandra’s bed and the woman beside him was Cassandra. Waking up with Cassandra beside him, Marty felt like his heart would burst with joy. He looked at the woman who was asleep next to him. Her face flushed and looked innocent and beautiful. He couldn't hold himself back anymore. He bent over and kissed her lips so gently that he would not awaken her. He relished the moment and embraced Cassandra while she slept. About five minutes later, he reluctantly rose from bed. He took his shoes from the shoe rack, he keenly observed that it was placed next to Cassandra's shoes. This made him happier thinking that they were like real couple sharing their space with each other.
At the Bloomsbury Karaoke Bar lounge, Cassandra waited for Marty as he received a phone call. A gorgeous man clad in a three piece custom tailored suit approached Cassandra. “Hi, beautiful.” Cassandra, who was busy playing on her phone, looked up upon hearing the man’s voice. Looking at the gorgeous man in front of her, Cassandra furrowed her brows. For her, Marty's handsome face and chiseled physique are unparalleled. She bowed and kept playing with her phone. "Play hard to get, eh?" the guy said sardonically. Cassandra heard what the man said clearly, but just ignored it. Seeing that Cassandra completely ignored him, the man sat beside her. “Pretty, how much do you want? Name the price, I
The kiss lasted several minutes, all of a sudden Marty unlocked their lips. Cassandra was befuddled why he stopped kissing her. “Babe?” Marty hugged Cassandra, she could hear Marty’s heart beating wildly. Cassandra looked up at Marty, her eyes searching for an answer, but Marty's eyes were shut. "Is everything okay, baby?" asked Cassandra. “It’s getting late, babe. I should be going. I'll pick you up in the morning. " Marty brushed Cassandra's puffy lips. “I’ll send you off,” Cassandra said and walked towards the door. “You don’t have to.” Marty held Cassandra’s wrist. “Alright.” Cassandra smiled at him. “Good night.” Cassandra added. “Good night” Marty gave her a peck on the cheeks and left. Marty decided to leave, he knew if he stayed long enough, everything would be out of hand. She is not a woman to be trifled with, she is his beloved. On her bed, Cassandra thought her relationship with Marty was bringing her tremendous joy. She is ecstatic to be with the man she loves as
Cassandra’s eyes agape when the car pulled out in front of the mansion. She didn’t see their way entering the high end community as Marty was busy devouring her mouth. "Is this your house?" Insecurity has taken hold of Cassandra's heart. Her complexion paled a few shades and her body shuddered. “Don’t be afraid.” Marty could see that Cassandra is thinking that his mom is a snobby wealthy woman who looked down on her poor daughter in law. "I know what you're worried about." Marty continued. He hugged Cassandra to give her assurance. “Babe” Cassandra’s eyes were teary. "I'm nervous," she ended up acknowledging her apprehension. Marty stroked
With Mrs. Jacobs pleading eyes and tears rolling down her cheeks, Marty and Cassandra couldn’t do anything but to give in to her request. "I've got the tub ready. You take a bath while I take a look at my mom if she’s fine. ” Mrs. Jacobs has a weak heart, thus Marty is worried about his mother crying a while back. Cassandra nodded and headed to the bathroom. While Cassandra dips into the bubble bath, she feels like a princess because of the exquisite and luxurious bathroom. Five minutes later, Cassandra had a shower after soaking in the bubble bath. While she applies moisturizing cream on her legs, Cassandra notices a large spider crawling towards her. Marty heard Cassandra’s scream while he was headi
Breakfast was served on the mansion’s patio. Cassandra is impressed with the design of the patio. She's never seen anything so exquisite like this patio. Everything in the mansion is truly incredible, the designer is truly a genius, she thought. Knowing that Cassandra has a soft heart towards her, Mrs. Jacob took advantage of that in the right sense of the word. “Cassandra, hija, are you busy today?” asked Mrs. Jacob, while putting spreads on her toast. “I am not, Madam, we aren’t filming today.” Cassandra answered while Marty put food on her plate. “Hija, call me mom or mommy.” Mrs. Jacob chuckled. "May I call you, aunt, instead of mom?" Cassandra felt awkward to think that she was ju
