Rafael's Point Of View Idiot is the perfect word that can describe me now. I was smiling in the mirror for half an hour while lying on the bed. I woke up in this state. My smile never faded wherever my eyes landed in the corner of the room. All I can see and think is about Fleur since last night when I admitted to myself that I had fallen for her. And I think that made me crazier. Should I let Fleur know about how I feel towards her? Again, my lips curved into a wide smile as I shook my head. I'm sure they would laugh at me if Mira, Hans, and Janica were with me now. I should get up now and prepare. I stood up from the bed, went to the bathroom for a quick shower, and prepared for today's agenda, that is, to see Fleur today. I am planning to ask her out and have dinner with me. I still wondered if I should confess my feelings to her, but I didn't want to shock her. Then, I should take it slow and be friends with her. Just like what Hans told me, when he started to feel somet
Rafael's Point Of View After conversing with my friend, I immediately left my room to look for Fleur. I kept smiling at everyone that I had been seeing in the hallway. I can't hide the happiness that I have right now. I need to see you, Fleur. Where are you right now? "Good morning, Sir." A resort staff greeted me. I smiled and nodded. I was about to greet the staff when I saw Fleur. My smile widened but immediately disappeared when I saw a man in front of Fleur, who seemed to be bothering her. The two seemed to be arguing, so I thought of returning to my room, but when I saw the man violently pulling Fleur's wrist, my mood changed. "Excuse me." I spoke to the resort staff and headed to where Fleur and the man were. "Let go of me!" Fleur spoke here while trying to escape from the man. "Come with me." The man insists. He pulled Fleur closer to him again. He was about to grab Fleur by the waist, but I was able to stop him. He darted his eyes on me. The man was drunk based on
Rafael's Point Of View"What?"Fleur asked me. I glanced at the sky, which was still dark. It's still raining, but it's not as heavy as before. I looked at Fleur and smiled before I talked again."I said, let's have a date tonight."I told Fleur while looking at the beach sand. Fleur stopped walking, which made me stop walking, too, and face her. She was giving me a questioning look, which made me smile. "Why? Don't you want to date me?"I asked Fleur and chuckled. She frowned at me, then let out a sigh."Why? Why do we have to date? Why do you want to date me?"Fleur asked me a lot of questions while staring into my eyes. Those pair of almond-green eyes were beautiful, and it suited her."Do I need to answer all those questions before I can finally date you?"I asked Fleur. She shook her head and sighed. "I just want to know your reason. Why do you want to date me?"She said with a crease on her forehead. "Stop asking questions with obvious answers. I want to date you, Fleur. Isn'
Rafael's Point Of View Neither Fleur nor I seemed to want to talk and kept walking towards the bonfire I had requested from the resort staff. I glanced at Fleur, who was busy playing with her feet on the white sand we were walking on. She looks adorable wearing her simple floral dress. I like her even more because of her simplicity and some details I have known about her earlier. Outside her room, I saw a staff member looking for Fleur. She was holding a brochure about Homeless People and the Stray Animals Foundation. When I asked the female staff, she said it was Fleur's who gave the resort a copy so that in case anyone needs help, they can contact Fleur's Charity Foundation. The staff also shared details about Fleur that made me admire her more. Fleur has a Charity Foundation that helps every country's homeless people and animals. She also has a hospital for animals and is willing to help every animal. Fleur helps to find the animals their permanent home. She also has her scholar
Amari Fleur's Point Of View An unfamiliar smell entered my nose, which made my eyes open. I woke up, and it made me realize that I was not lying in my bed but in a man still asleep. It was Rafael. But what surprised me even more was when I realized that I was lying on top of him and only the blanket covered our bodies. What did I do? What did I do? I was about to stand up when I suddenly felt a painful part of my body. My eyes widened as I glanced inside the blanket wrapped around me. What the hell?! I closed my eyes when Rafael suddenly moved. I didn't know if he was awake or still asleep. That's why I stayed in that position where I was still on top of Rafael. I tried to recall everything, and it all started with our conversation under the rain. Rafael asks me out about being with him at the beach bonfire date, to which I agree as a thank you for helping me when the drunk Jacob tried to mess up things. And before I headed back into the resort, I even gave a peck of a kiss
Amari Fleur's Point Of View "Babe, what do you want..." Rafael did not finish his question when his eyes averted on his phone, which I've been holding for minutes now. "Hey, what happened? Are you alright?" Rafaels asked and sat down on my side. I was looking at him and still thinking about how he had my photo, which is precisely a rare one. I called it my rare photo because I only sent it to my Mom, Auntie Lilet and Patrizia. I am not into posting on social media because, in the first place, I am not using it either. Is he my stalker? "How did you have a copy of this photo?" I asked Rafael and raised his phone. He took his phone from my hand and looked at the picture I was talking about. Rafael looked at me and smiled. "Why are you smiling? Please answer my question. How did you have it?" I said to him. Rafael grinned, which made my forehead crease. "Alright, I will tell you, but first, let's have our breakfast, okay? So, what do you want for breakfast?" Rafael asked. I s
Amari Fleur's Point Of View Amari Fleur's Point Of View I welcomed Rafael with a firm slap on his face. I could not stop doing that because of what I saw and read earlier. "What's that for, Fleur?" Rafael asked me in surprise. I did not answer him. Instead, I picked up his phone from the bedside table and threw it at him. Rafael quickly dodged it but couldn't avoid it when I stoned him again with a hard object. "Fleur?" I was suddenly brought back to reality by the loud calling of Rafael, who had just returned. He was standing before me with a trace of concern on his face. I glanced at him. He sat beside me, put his palm on my forehead, and checked my temperature. I removed it and then fixed it myself. My mind is crazy! I thought I did that. "Hey, are you alright? Is there something wrong?" Rafael asked worriedly. I stared at him and did not respond to his questions. I suddenly lost the appetite to talk to him because of what I saw on his phone. I know it's wrong to check s
Rafael's Point Of View I couldn't help but smile because of the beautiful view I was seeing. Fleur peacefully slept in bed while I stood and stared at her for almost an hour since I woke up. It's been five days, and she is still here with me. I didn't let her return to her room; I just let her stay here. My phone vibrated, so I took it from the bedside table. It was a message from one of the resort staff. I smiled when I read that the set-up for the dinner date with Fleur was fine. I've been preparing for that for almost two days, and I am very grateful to some staff who helped me prepare. I rented a floating hut for our dinner date venue. I want this night to be special because I decided to confess my feelings to Fleur. In the last few days we were together, I knew she sensed my hints that I liked her, but I still wanted to tell Fleur and confirm that she was not wrong because I liked her. I want to ask her permission to court her officially. Fleur and I kept discussing our life
