“Can I kiss you?” the word that suddenly came out of my mouth, then I quickly covered my mouth with my two hands, and unexpectedly I received a slap from Jaime where Marie witnessed it. Because of her slap on me, I woke up to my senses and I slowly turned to her while her face showed shock and surprise.“Louie.” Marie called me, and she came to me with a worried look on her face. Jaime's attention shifted to her, and she observed her from head to toe, where she noticed that Marie was wearing a patient gown.“I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you, I was just shocked by what you said.” She said to me. I couldn't look into her eyes or her face, I was ashamed of what I said in front of her. Instead, I just forced a smile on my lips and scratched the back of my head.“I said? What did I say? I didn't say anything, did I?” I said as I looked up at her with an awkward face. Her two eyebrows were raised, and she was looking at me in astonishment. “Did I say something?” I added as I looked at
I have returned home, and I am currently sitting on my sofa in the living room while I wait for Jaime to arrive, but she is almost ten minutes late, and she still hasn't arrived.“What can you say about what I'm wearing today, Baste? Do you think she'll drool when she sees me like this?” I said to Baste who just passed by the living room while he was holding a jug. He stopped for a moment and turned to me. He looked at me from head to toe and observed the formal black suit I was wearing. Furthermore, he shook his head and his face shows that he doesn't agree in what I'm wearing.“What kind of look is that? Why are you staring at me like that?” I said to him, and then he let out a deep breath.“So, you won't be seeing a business partner tonight, boss? But Jaime?” he said, and then I leaned my back on the sofa.“Why? Am I shining too much tonight?” I said to him with a hundred percent confidence in myself, and then he grinned as I looked up at him. I widened my eyes, causing him to be a
The night I left Louie, I received a call from a nurse where I learned that Carlo was taken to the hospital after he had an accident. I was so scared and nervous that I immediately got out of his car and left without saying goodbye to him. I was shaking with so much fear, and I didn't realize that tears were falling from the corner of my eyes while I was calling a taxi. Furthermore, I immediately reached the said hospital where he was, and I was stunned when I met him. Our eyes met each other as he looked at me in surprise.“Jaime? What are you doing here?” was the first word he uttered in his mouth, but I did not respond to him immediately, but instead I ran to him, and then I hugged him tightly while I cried. “What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did something bad happen?” he added as if he had no idea why I was crying like a child in front of him. He wiped the tears from my eyes with his hand and managed to smile despite what happened to him, that he almost died in the accident. I loo
Those moments confuse me, I don't know what to listen to, what my heart is saying or what my mind is whispering? I slowly looked up at Carlo's face where I noticed his desperation to stop me and I knew he was worried about me. But he has nothing to fear because I have nowhere else to go, and I will still come back to him. I understand that he wants me to stay by his side, but I don't want to be selfish because someone is also waiting for me and I have to make it clear to him that we are only getting married on paper and that my love life is not included in the contract we signed or whoever my heart's content is. Besides that, I don't want to put Carlo's life in danger because of me. I never forget what kind of person Louie is and what he can do when I don't comply what we mutually agreed on. Although he smiles at me sometimes and seems comfortable around me, but I never forget that he is a mafia boss and has the ability to do whatever he wants. So for Carlo's safety I will try to be s
That night I was constantly crying, and I don't understand why everything that happened to him seemed to be my fault. Maybe if I had come earlier or if I had met him as we both discussed perhaps all this would not have happened to him. He wouldn't have been hurt, and we wouldn't be in the hospital now. I was sitting in the waiting area with my head bowed and stunned because I still couldn't believe what I witnessed, and I also couldn't stop not worrying about him as he almost died while I was holding his hands. After a while, Baste sat next to me and I heard his breathing heavily. He handed me a water bottle which I immediately accepted, but I didn't drink it, but I just stared at it. I remembered when I was eating at the convenience store and when I accidentally dropped the water I was holding at that moment as well as the cup I was holding when I was in the hospital and Carlo was with me. I didn't expect that it was a sign that something bad had happened to him. My whole thought is
When I heard what Baste said, I grinned. “Didn't we both already talk about that?” I'm curious about him.“I know, but you need to marry him as soon as possible.” He responded, while my face expression was blank, and I didn't know what to say to him. I don't understand why he wants me to marry Louie right away? I am so aware that we will get to that point, too, and he doesn't need to rush.“Wait a minute, Baste. If you think I'm going to run away from my responsibility to him, then you're wrong. You know that I don't just give up on my words, don't you?” I said to him as he stood up, so I also stood up with a look of astonishment on my face.“Do you want to know who the man is behind all this? Or who stabbed him?” he said, and I shook my head.“Wait, what does that have to do with our contact marriage?” I asked him as he looked around us and took one step closer to me.“The truth is,” he said, and then he came closer to me and whispered in my ear, which surprised me. He told me that h
When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying in bed and in the hospital. I looked around where I immediately saw Baste standing near the window while he was talking on his cell phone. “Alright, I'll take care of it.” The last thing he said before hanging up on the person he was talking to. Then he turned to where I was where his eyes widened in shock, and he immediately approached me. “Boss!” he said at the same time he ran out of the hospital to call the doctor who immediately came in and after checking my condition he immediately left where Baste and I were left alone. “You worried me too much about what happened to you, and I thought you were going to die.” He said to me as I slowly got up and leaned my back against the wall. “Isn't that what you want to happen? For me to disappear from this world? I jokingly told him, but he didn't seem to like what I said, and his face was still serious, it seemed that I really worried him. “Would you like something to eat? Aren't you
There was heavy rain that day. I was holding a black umbrella while walking on the wet and muddy road.One, two, three, four and on my fifth step the woman suddenly grabbed my umbrella. I was shocked when I saw her, but I was even more amazed when I saw her beauty. She seemed to capture my heart immediately when we first met. Because she's like an angel in heaven with a shining light in beauty.“I love you,” the word suddenly uttered in my mouth as I was still staring into her eyes.“What?” She said in surprise.My eyes widened when I realized the embarrassing thing I had said in front of her. So, I left my umbrella with her and ran away.Two weeks later, our paths met again. Our teacher introduced her as a new student at our school. I couldn’t believe that the woman who first made my heart beat would be my classmate.Her name was Nadia and since that day her name has become famous throughout our campus. Almost every day, her lovers visit her in our classroom and offer different things
