I didn't go out all night after I gave Rod water. He fell asleep on the couch when I came back.
My life became peaceful within a week. I study in one of the prestigious schools here in Cagayan de Oro in front of the Lifestyle District.
After class, I went straight to the mall that was just a walking distance from my school. I’m going to buy a food. Atty. Manilou gave me a lot of money earlier.
My tuition fees is not a problem to her because I have already paid it. I am a scholar of the school. So I'm quite busy and I have to participate in events as payment for my education.
I was going to the fourth floor to eat Beef Siopao but from the railings above, I saw Rod looking at me. Next to him was a beautiful woman who was talking next to him.
He just nodded while staring at me. I was nervous so I looked away. I'm riding the escalator and right now, I want to go down even though I'm going up.
I looked behind and there were many people following me plus Symon, my crush, was there too with his friends. They were wearing marine uniforms.
I don't know if I'll go down again but I'll just look like a fool in front of Rod so I went upstairs to the food court and pretended not to know him.
Symon and his friends were very noisy in the background. They were all talking about this girl who is famous in the nursing department. I sighed. Men…
I went to the counter and ordered Siopao and cola. After I paid, I sat down to an empty table.
I don't like to share tables with anyone but since there are quite a lot of people, I'm pretty sure someone will sit next to me later.
I was about to eat my Siopao when suddenly someone spoke behind me. I stopped when I heard Symon's voice.
"Are you alone?" he asked showing me his complete set of teeth as if he was modelling the toothpaste brand. I wanted to close my eyes when I smelled his scent. Hmm. I like it.
"Hey sister," I couldn't answer Symon when Rod's voice echoed between us. We looked at him together when he suddenly put his arm around my shoulder and sat next to me.
Suddenly my heart beat fast. What is he doing?
"I'm sorry.. I didn't know you were with someone," Symon said and left with his friends feeling embarrassed.
When they disappeared from my sight, I turned to Rod. His death glare was thrown at me. I gulped. What did I do wrong?
"You should focus on your studies. I don't want you wasting mom's money on useless things." He said and looked at my lips—or I just assumed things?
I nodded slowly. What is he doing? Why did he put his hand on my shoulder?
"Good," he coldly said and took my siopao and bit it.
"Eat that. It's a waste of money if you won’t eat that," he said and left with his suitcase. I looked at the siopao he bit.
For some reason, my brain went blank and I think I was going crazy. Oh my God. What’s happening? I do not know.
When I got home, I caught Rod's car outside.. He was kissing someone else. I frowned.
How many girls does he have? Does he like this? A playboy?
I ignored them and continued to enter the house.
"Hello, March. How's school?"
I was surprised to see the attorney on the couch reviewing on her case. Maybe she has a new case that she’s handling now.
"Hello, attorney. It's fine," I said.
"Isn't it your internship in the second semester? Do you have any company you wanted to apply?”
I shook my head. "I don’t have in mind yet."
"Oh, okay. Your brother Rod can help you. He is the acting CEO of his father's company now. He can help you into his company."
My brain reacted immediately, especially when I remembered that he kissed someone else outside. I don't think I’m fine to see everyday like that. That's so displeasing in the eyes.
But who am I to say NO? Attorney is the one who made the offer, I can’t refuse.
"Thank you, attorney," I just said and bid my goodbye before entering my room.
This day is a tiring one.
When it was dinner, Attorney Manilou called me to eat together. Of couse, Rod’s there, smirking at me, so here I am again, feeling uncomfortable around him.
I was eating quietly while Rod was being scolded by his mother because of his attitude as being a womanizer.
I wonder if he has AIDS. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he have because he slept with different women every day. I don't believe it's just a kiss. It's more than that.
I just did my performance task and I finished at ten o'clock. Because I was thirsty, I went downstairs to drink water. I'm just praying the Rod isn't there because I might pass out.
I got really hysterical when I saw him. I could still remember the Siopao earlier. I eat that but I left the part where he had a bite. I’m afraid there was a virus left there.
I was about to go inside the kitchen but I stopped for a moment. I took a peek first inside and when I saw that he was not there I breathed a sigh of relief.
"You looked relieved,"
I screamed at Rod's whisper in my ear. My eyes widened as I looked at him.
He put his hand on my mouth to shut me up!
"What are you peeking at?"
“N-Nothing,”
He raised an eyebrow at me and then released my mouth.
"Hmm..." He said not believing anything I said.
"Are you looking for me?" I saw a strange sparkle in his eyes.
I was immediately nervous as I looked at his lips that he’s biting.
I wanted to escape but his grips pushed me to stay.
"Tell me... are you looking for me?"
I want to leave because I know, anytime by now, I’ll be dead. I don't know what Rod did to me.
I think I need to see a quack doctor because I think Rod casted a spell on me.
How can he do this to me?
"Did I make you uncomfortable?" he said and let go of me. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest. He looked at me carefully.
I wanted to fight his gaze but I got intimidated. I cursed myself. This is so unfair.
He shook his head and turned to leave. And swear to God, I only breathed a sigh of relief when he disappeared from my sight. His presence can take my breath easily. What the hell?
“Where's your resume?” Rod said while I was busy researching here on top of the bed. I almost jumped in shock when I saw him outside my room."You didn't close the door. I presumed you intend to open it.”“T-That's not true. I just forgot," I said and hurriedly stood up to close the door but I stopped and stared at him.Should I close the door? But he was standing in front. What should I do?"Are you going to close me the door?" he raised an eyebrow at me."I don't have a resume yet," I nervously told him."What are you doing? Can I come?” he said. Before I could even answer he was already on my bed, sitting looking at my research paper.He nodded and read what I wrote there.I looked away from him and tried to calm myself down. My heart was pounding.Why am I nervous every time I face him? Is this normal? Or am I crazy about him?"If I were the panelist, just with your title, you're already failed." He said and leaned on my bed.I bit my lower lip.What is he doing in my room? Why ha
When we arrived in Ayala safely.He turned to me and looked at my clothes. I saw his eyebrows arch when he stared at my outfit.He saw it earlier, he had no complaints. "What do you want to eat?" he asked when we entered to a fast food chain."Just steak," I said.He nodded and went to the counter to order. I saw the flirty smile of the crew at him. I frowned and went to the table where I could see them.The crew taking Rod's order looked at me and I couldn't help raising an eyebrow at her.When Rod turned to me, I immediately looked away. My heart's heartbeat is going wild again. I hope that whatever I feel for him, is only an infatuation.Rod came back and sit in front.His stare was making me nervous.When I saw him busy on his phone, I couldn’t help myself but to stare at his perfect and handsome face.When he looked at me, he caught me staring at him. Gosh!! He smirked!"So why did you decide to come?" he asked after he put down his phone on the table."Ah.. because you invited m
"Rod!" The attorney shouted as I entered the house. I came home from school and it was late already."What the hell? I said no. I will not marry her!”Getting married? Rod is getting married?"This is what your father wants son. Just follow him.""I do not want to!"He looked at me and his eyes immediately widened.I averted looking at him and approached attorney to kiss on her cheek."I'm just in the room," I said and didn't wait for any of them to speak. After that bar accident, Rod and I didn't see each other much anymore.Simply because he stayed in Opol where his father was.We just met again after a week. Then now, I saw him arguing his mom.I lay on the bed and thought about what I heard earlier. Rod is getting married?What a big news. I just got up to take a shower.Because it’s not my habit to prepare my clothes before taking a shower, I left the bathroom with just a towel on when the door suddenly opened. I saw Rod looking at me with wide eyes.I bit my lip hard to not to o
"Stop being so mean to me," I wanted to roll my eyes at Rod's whim. I just ignored him and I don't like what's happening between us anymore.Every time we meet, he just keeps kissing me without my permission. And I'm afraid that his mom will find out about us. She let me live in their house for free and she supported me financially.I just came home from school, he was waiting for me.I closed my eyes when I saw his maid watching us.Before Rod could enter my room, I immediately closed the door. He slammed the door from the outside. Maybe he’s kicking it.I sat on the bed and let out a deep breath. Rod was annoying but I was even more annoying.I don’t him to be near at me, but every time our lips meet, my eyes will automatically close, my hand will automatically move to wrap around his neck, and I automatically respond to his kisses.I laid myself down on the soft bed and tried to calm myself down. Even when I'm at school, my mind still wanders to Rod.How annoying!During dinner, I
My eyes widened and I wanted to push him again but I couldn’t because he’s strong enough to stop me on pushing him. I closed my eyes as he deeper the kiss.He leaned me against the gate and I was catching my breath when he leave my lips. I saw a smile plastered on his lips after he pressed his forehead to mine."I think I'm starting to get addicted to your kisses,"I could hardly look him in the eye after he told me that. I hurried inside and I knew he was laughing after me."Darling? C'mon. We just kissed.”My heart was pounding because he called me darling.Before I could go up the stairs, he grabbed my hand."Where are you going?""In the bedroom," I answered.He bit his lip and pulled me into the living room."Let's watch a movie. You can sleep later since you have no class tomorrow."I couldn't answer him when he suddenly pulled me to the couch."What do you want to watch?" he asked."I don't like movies. I prefer documentaries.”"Really? I like it too..” He said and I just saw t
The next day, I went downstairs and found Rod half naked while cooking in the kitchen.I leaned on the stairs and looked at his back.He has no upper clothes but has an apron. Yeah, that’s right. There must be no- my eyes widened and I immediately put my hand to cover my mouth.Am I lusting the attorney's son? What time is it and why did he wake up early?"Good morning," I even jumped in shock when Rod spoke. I didn’t even notice that he was looking at me now."Ah...l-let me help you,"I went to him to help him cooking."Yes please.. Can you get the towel? It's on the table, I left it there."I stopped and frowned at what he said. What should I do with the towel?"Can you please wipe my sweats, baby?"What?I blinked thrice."If you don't say anything sensible, I'll leave you." I said and hurried to the living room.Before I could get away, I heard Rod's giggles that made my cheeks redden.That guy with almond eyes is pissing me off. He’s so vulgar. How should I handle him?After awhi
I was busy reviewing the lesson here in my room. I didn't bother to go down because Rod was still there. It was lunch time and I was surprised when he knocked my room."I prepared your lunch already,""T-Thank you," I stammered."I'll go ahead," he said but I didn't answer. There was no noise outside the door. I feel like he's gone.I held my breath. Rod can easily take my breath way. I don't know how he does it.I came down from the living room and he was gone, not even his car. In the kitchen, the food he cooked was already on the table.I smiled and was excited to taste those. I thought at first we didn't get along but here he cooked me food.He's really intimidating but sometimes sweet. No one still knows in this house about us.I don't want attorney to find out and make her upset. I don't want her to think that I'm a bad woman or that I'm seducing her only son.After I ate, I just reviewed and edited some chapters in the research paper.I looked at my cellphone and saw Junisa's c
I locked myself in the room and never came out that day. Little did I know that that would be the last time Rod and I would see each other because he had left home to on his father's company in the city. And as for my thesis with Junisa, it was successful. We did some revisions of our project before we publish it as a book. "Let's take care of it tomorrow. We should celebrate first." Junisa said as we left the school building. Symon: I heard the defense was successful. Congratulations. I replied to Symon's text and then texted attorney that it might take me a while to get home. It's five o'clock in the afternoon. "Let's go downtown. I'm hungry," Karen complained. We went Downtown to eat at Pepper Lunch. "Let's sing later at the KTV Bar!" Karen suggested but Junisa growled and said we’ll have fun here in the Downtown to save time since we’re here already. Symon: Are you busy? Me: We’re celebrating for the success of our project. We ordered food and then we talk about what h
