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
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
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
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
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
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
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
ALEJANDRO"Where were you?" As soon as I walked back into the room, I heard Alice's voice ask and immediately got nervous because I wasn't expecting her to be awake and when I turned on the lights, she was seated on the bed with her arms folded across her chest. I cleared my throat nervously as I thought of a reasonable lie to come up with so she doesn't suspect anything. "I hope I didn't worry you, babe. I was feeling kind of suffocated and stressed out so I went out to get some fresh air and get myself together before coming back to bed," I lied.She furrowed her brows. "Are you sure everything is okay with you babe? I've noticed that you've been going out a lot more nowadays and you're always going out to get some fresh air and think about something and I'm starting to get worried. Are you certain that everything is okay or is there something that you're keeping from me?" she asked, getting up from the bed and walking towards me."I'm not keeping anything from you, babe. I've ju
