Love, lies and, secrets 27. Running the plan
ANNA"Good morning," I said in a cheerful tone, joining my sister and Alejandro in the dining area for breakfast. For some reason, I haven't stopped wearing a big smile on my face since I woke up this morning and I'm pretty sure anyone would notice the huge smile on my face. "Good morning to you too, Anna. Is it just me or are you in a really good mood this morning?" Alice asked, staring at me with a suspicious look on her face and I simply chuckled in response."Well let's just say that I had a good night's rest and I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," I replied, sticking a smile on my face. "Now, I don't mean to jump to any sort of conclusions but seeing how you're being so happy and energetic the morning after your date with Kelvin, is it right for me to assume that this good mood of yours has something to do with him and has something to do with how your date went last night?" Alice asked, giving me her usual curious stare and I almost rolled my eyes at her. "I
Love, lies and, secrets 28. Annoyed
ANNAI paced around the room impatiently, tapping my fingers lightly on my phone as I waited for Alejandro to pick up the phone. I was getting a little frustrated and upset because I kept calling and calling and yet, he wasn't picking up the phone. I tried remaining calm but the fact that it wasn't picking up the phone was getting me even more upset than I already was and I just desperately needed him to pick up the phone so that my day isn't completely ruined. I recalled that he had mentioned something about having an important meeting that was going to take quite a while but I was hoping that he would be done with his meeting by now because I needed to tell him that Alice was on her way to him and that he needed to find a way to get out of the office as soon as possible so that Alice's visit won't ruin our plans for the day. I cursed under my breath in frustration when the phone ended up ringing without anyone picking up and then, it occurred to me that he could be ignoring the ca
Love, lies and, secrets 29. More time with Kelvin
ANNA"I'm aware of the things I say to you might seem like I'm exaggerating and because you and I just met only recently but the truth is, I really like you and every time we get together and I spend time with you, I realise just how much I like you and just how much I want things between us to work out," Kelvin confessed.It was honestly becoming a struggle for me to avoid rolling my eyes because I didn't want to disrespect him and I also didn't want to make him feel bad but at this point, I was getting very frustrated with the fact that he hasn't stopped confessing his feelings for me and making things awkward between us. I know she just wanted to hang out with him because I did not want him to find out that Alejandro and I were meeting but seeing how he was running the mood by repeatedly telling me that he liked me, the only thing I wanted to do was just get out of here and be on my way home. "Okay," I said, keeping my response short since I had nothing else to say. "Is that an a
Love, lies and, secrets 30. Words that actually meant something
ANNA"Finally Anna, you're home! I was already getting worried about you and thankfully, you're just in time for dinner," I heard Alice's voice say to me as soon as I attempted to sneak up the stairway and just go to my bedroom. My day was already horrible as it is and the only thing I wanted to do was just head back to my room without having to see anyone especially Alejandro and Alice but, my dear sister just had to ruin the plan by being everywhere. "Oh, I didn't think you'd be waiting up for me," I said, trying to act as casual as possible. "Well of course I was, I wasn't too sure if you'd be out late and since you didn't tell me who it was that you were meeting, I was a little on edge but it's all good now that you're here. If you haven't eaten anything, come join us for dinner," she replied and I forced a small smile. "Thank you for worrying about me and I apologize for not getting in contact with you earlier and letting you know that I was fine but anyways, I don't think th
Love, lies and, secrets 31. Giving us a try
Chapter 31ANNA I couldn't get any sleep for some reason and because of this, I decided to while away time by watching videos on YouTube and doing absolutely anything I could so that my eyes would get tired and so that I could finally fall asleep but it seemed as though nothing was working and instead of trying to keep forcing myself to sleep, I made up my mind to just keep watching videos and I was doing just that until suddenly, I heard my door slowly being pushed opened and as soon as someone walked into my bedroom door, I'm quick to switch on the lamp. I wasn't even surprised by the fact that it was Alejandro that sneaked into my room not because I was expecting him to but because it's just not a surprise to me anymore. I was scared for him because one of these days, he's going to get caught sneaking into my room and when that happens, I have every intention of denying him. I placed my phone on my bed and folded my arms across my chest while staring at him with an unbothered lo
Love, lies and, secrets 32. Theo and Kelvin
ANNAI watched as Alejandro and Alice made out in front of me almost as if they were forgetting that I was standing right there in front of them and that it was disrespectful of them to act so passionately in front of someone else. I simply looked away because I didn't want to get too upset and I didn't want it to be obvious that I was fuming on the inside. I hated the fact that Alejandro wasn't even trying to be subtle with his affection for Alice and I found it disrespectful especially since he and I have come to an agreement that we were going to go with the flow and enjoy each other's company for the time that I'd still be here and that is exactly what we've been doing in the last few days. I had already packed everything that I brought here including the things that I bought here because I was going to be leaving tomorrow and now that I was leaving, I was feeling slightly conflicted and confused. Alice and Alejandro still had their tongues stuck in each other's throats and I w
Love, lies and, secrets 33. Parting words
ANNA "I'm so sorry I'm late, Anna. I had to quickly attend to some important work before coming here," Kelvin explained as soon as he arrived and I watched him hurriedly pull back a chair to sit. "It's not a problem and I also apologise for suddenly calling you out to see me," I replied to him and he chuckled. "To be honest with you, I was very surprised when you suddenly called me and said you wanted to meet up with me because whenever I asked us to meet, you claimed that you were busy and you did this throughout the week but I know that was only an excuse on your part to avoid seeing me," he said. "I don't know what exactly gives you the impression that I was lying but I wasn't because the only reason I came here in the first place was to hang out with my sister and catch up with her and since I haven't exactly been able to do that since I got here, I decided to make time for her and that is exactly what kept me busy," I lied. "Well, if you say so then I have no other choice but
Love, lies and, secrets 34. It was nice while it lasted
ANNA It's already past 12 and I knew that I should be getting some sleep now because I had a flight to catch tomorrow but I couldn't fall asleep because I knew that Alejandro was going to show up here and I've also been lost in my thoughts concerning what happened between Kelvin and me earlier. I honestly couldn't understand why I couldn't get over it but what I was certain about was that the kiss that happened between Kelvin was completely different from the last time we kissed and I just couldn't wrap my head around why I didn't push him off me like I did the last time and why I don't hate that it happened. I felt very weird about it because I was very certain that I didn't have any sort of romantic feelings towards Kelvin but I just couldn't understand why I enjoyed making out with him and why I was still thinking about it. I let out a frustrated sigh, not knowing what else to do and how else to understand my messed-up feelings. I wanted to get some sleep because I felt really t
