ENGROSS by the breathtaking view and the calmness of the landscape of the hotel’s garden. Cath has never been this relaxed for a while ever since becoming a journalist which is her dream job but is tiring bit by bit. Worse with her current assignment that she had a hard time starting with. “Look whose here.”The moment is broken, and somewhat Cath can now see the dark sky ahead of her life upon hearing the familiar voice that for a second she wishes that she got her wrong. “How have you been, Cath?”Dead wrong and just how her day is turning out great. It immediately engulfs her with disappointment with the unexpected encounter worse than finding herself falling in love with Sam.“Emerald.”Cath addresses the lady’s presence in dismay and fake smile. “Just look at how the world works.”Emerald smiles and excitedly claims. But for Cath, it is more like a death sentence in an instant for meeting the worse person who made her world in hell back in their college days. “How many years
WITH the blow that Emerald receives from Cath. She couldn’t help but feel good about herself. Now with a smile that irritates Emerald despite still having fear for what Cath had just told her. “To answer your question.” Cath smiles and in confidence with a little bit of threat. “I am doing perfectly great and having the time of my life Emerald. How about you?”Now asking the question with a bit of malice in it, made Emerald's spine run with chill for fear. Emerald immediately clams herself, draws her irritation towards Cath, and acts the same as she is. “More than perfect.”Emerald’s smile with sly intentions in it that taken Cath aback. With the hunch that Emerald will be about to counterattack her with words and taunting.“I still have my name. I have all the luxury and I am still one of the sought-out ladies in the state.”She proudly said, flaunting her standing and rubbing it on Cath’s face that whatever she had will never be hers. “Tsk!”Cath click her tongue in dismay and a
“What is going on here?”Emerald asks in surprise, denial, and offended by what she just heard from Sam. “You heard me, Emerald. This is my fiancée, my love, my future wife, and my world, Cath.”Speechless and not just because Cath is surprised by Sam’s presence and words. But she is flustered with the warm feeling of how Sam describes her in front of Emerald. “Cath?” Emerald asks in an unexpected tone and looks back and forth between the two of them. “She is your fiancée?”“Yes.”Sam’s firm response made Cath’s heart jumps a beat. While it made Emerald shake her head from still being in denial. “How could it be? I mean she is Cath.”Emerald’s indirect insult is that Sam didn’t have to think deep about what she meant by those words. Emerald is still seeing Cath as the nerd and the one that they are bullying back then. He admits that he had the biggest part and fault for that. “Catherine Wayne and future Mrs. Lawrence for you, Miss. Emerald Hart.”The very first time that Sam addre
“THAT means that I can eat you later, right?”‘DAMN!’Cath curses, but inside her head for she was just caught and once more in an unexpected teasing game of Sam. His little game that she should be use to right now, yet she seems couldn’t.“You know what you should order for I already did. Let’s eat, I am starving and you might as well.”She casually diverted the topic away and immediately. Metaphorically forcing Sam’s thoughts that is all due of hunger and can be fixed by food.“Tsk!”Sam could only smirk, knew what Cath is doing, yet he decided not to argue anymore. Knowing that he still has the entire day to squeeze her out for the truth that he wanted to hear.“Please.”Cath quickly called out gesturing, by which the waiter immediately served them. Distracting Sam a bit and the distraction that Cath desperately wanted right now.“Just the usual.”“Yes Sir.”A bit puzzled, yet Cath immediately thought that since Sam is typically the owner of the hotel and this very restaurant. He s
‘FALLING EVEN DEEPER?’Cath’s mind is screaming and currently in chaos after being caught in Sam’s little teasing game. “I am not.”She firmly denies it. Irritated and dismayed at Sam for playing his stupid game that she isn’t fond of nor she is having fun with it.“I know.”Sam suddenly said, casually agreeing with her that is not what he is nor use to be. With his confident smile and proud stance, he added. “You are not just falling even deeper for me Cath. You are falling all over again and worse than before.”“Woah!”The crowds' reply is now cut into the drama that they are currently displaying in front of them. While Cath is once more flustered and in deep red ears from those words. “Come on man!” One of the men from the crowd suddenly protested with a huge grin. “Why don’t you propose properly to your girl? Where’s the grand gesture to make her say yes?”Everyone then agrees while the ladies are currently on cloud nine from what they are seeing like they both are the main le
“THANK YOU. I think I am almost there and giving up.” Wide smile and even giggling from time to time. Sam couldn’t help but be on his cloud when he remembers those words from Cath. “Can I say that you look like a fool smiling all to yourself?”Brian broke the mood with his words that don’t affect Sam. “You already said it yourself.”Sam’s remark and reply made Brian give up on him and his dotting favor to Cath. “I finish everything that you requested, all you need to do is to make sure that my sister will finally give in and have her say that word.”“I surely will.”Sam assures with a big smile on his face that Brian is having doubts about it. Not in terms of Sam’s ability and ways, but towards his stubborn sister that by now is in her deep dilemma and struggles. “You still have five hours before this night.”He reminded him, and that made Sam puzzled for a while. Thinking that it was unnecessary for him to even inform him about that. “What do you mean?” Sam directly asks, while
WHEN the heat is too intense for Cath to handle. Her mind is spinning in a way where she wanted the forbidden thing that she shouldn’t be thinking about right now. “You better go.”She panted at each word with her face flustered and her ears in deep red. The torture that she wanted to get away from. Maybe shower once more with the coldest water, or sleep it through, anything just to take the heat away from her system. “I am not in the mood to argue with you, Sam.”Her pleading comes out like a seduction. “But I am.”Sam’s teasing, yet more likely in the mood for the dirty stuff that’s creeping inside his mind right now. For, how couldn’t he? Cath is in a different kind of mess where he wanted to dirty her then and there. “Stop!”Cath demanded, looking away from Sam’s charm that is getting her into worse than what she is currently struggling into. “You’re a big temptation to me right now.”She whispers turning her back away from him. But not that convincing for Sam to hear her eno
“I HATE YOU.”Cath’s reply, that means the opposite. Not being in denial, but more like being flustered and shy with how things are working out right now. “I love you more.”Sam teases her, knowing what she truly means by those words and she is flustered by the entire moment. “I know.”She pushes Sam away and demands. “I’m getting ready now, so you should do the same.”Her demand that makes Sam giggle. Loved her not-half-honest self, yet he couldn’t protest about it. Not now that she already admitted her feelings for him. “Can I at least join you in the shower?”With Sam’s smile that’s hiding those hidden thoughts and wants that Cath immediately picks up and remembers the last time. Cath’s ears turn red once more with her firm reply. “No, and not even in your dreams.”“Please?”Sam pleaded with those charming eyes that Cath was resisting. Worse with his still naked body that’s making her drool. “No means no!”She once more firmly rejected Sam’s advancement, realizing that if she
