The next day at the airport, before Asher and Bianca boarded the plane back to New York. "We will try to arrange our schedules and fly after you," Bobby Han embraced his daughter then his future son-in-law as he and Shin Ji Yoon sent them to their flight after breakfast that Tuesday morning. The two men did not sleep until now, ever since last night, as they enjoyed each other's company while the mother and daughter tried to keep up with them but ended up cuddling in their sleep in the cozy living room in an oversized chaise lounge chair. Bianca missed her mom's embrace, and she felt the familiar warmth of cuddling together until they could no longer hold their sleepiness and dozed off after a good share of laughter and talk. Asher and Bobby shared the same emotion looking at the two lovely ladies of their lives. The queens of their hearts. The ones they wish to spend the rest of their lives with. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom," Asher hugged the two elders with so much respect
Caught It was a fine Saturday late in the morning. The cleaners just left. Kate’s mom, Kelly, went to get her full massage at a spa downtown. No one was home but Kate. She was texting with her boyfriend, Andrew Kindberg. Andrew: “Hey, babe, what are you doing?” Kate: “Nothing. But I’m about to do my homework, and I’m not joking when I say there is a ton of them on my desk right now.” Kate sighed. She is in her last year in high school, and she also goes to a private tutorial academy to help her prepare for college entrance exams. Andrew: “Oh my poor baby, do you want me to come over and help you?” Andrew was hoping Kate would agree. He needs to bed her soon to win the bet he and his friends made about Kate being a virgin. He needs to prove he is right to think she is. And he is sure she will have virginal blood, which he can take a snapshot of and show her friends for evidence and claim his prize. Kate is very feminine in her every action and personality. She is finessed and
“What the fuck is going on here?!”A thunderous and ferocious voice broke the silence in the whole house.“Nick! What are you doing here?” Asked a panicked Kate.She quickly pulled her clothes to cover her almost naked body and sprung up from the sofa where she and Andrew, her boyfriend, were making out. Andrew, on the other hand, ran out of the house like his butt was on fire.“That asshole!” Kate murmured. Then she turned to face a still furious, devilishly looking stepbrother, Nicholas Eudovic.“How many times have you done this without me knowing?” Nick asked in a dangerously low voice, opposite to how he roared when Andrew was still around.“What are you doing here?” Kate frowned at him.“What the stupid question is that? This is my home,” Nick gazed at her with squinted eyes.Kate l
“I will do anything! Just please, don’t tell my mom. I might get grounded for six months with this,” Kate genuinely worried her mom would never forgive her. Kelly is not a strict mom regarding many things, but anything about Kate being sexually involved is taboo for her. Kelly always reminds Kate that her every action will bear consequences. There is time and place to do things. There are rules and limitations which she should follow as she also enjoys the freedom on something she is allowed to do so. This offense will infuriate her mom, so she was scared of being found out. To the extent of cutting all her allowance and making her earn her own pocket money, which might not only for a specific time if her actions today reach the bottom line of her mom’s patience, she might even be disowned and shunned from this home!She just mentioned six months to be pitiful in Nick’s eyes, but she was sure as she knew her mom too well, six months is
"I lost in a Truth or Dare game..." Kate answered in between sobs. But she could not let Nick go without hearing her out first. Maybe if he knew her reasons, he would help her, she thought. She must try everything she can to convince him. Not just to save her from her mom's wrath but to save her mom from possible stress she would cause her loving mother."I chose Dare as I worried they might ask if I am still a..." she paused and cleared her throat as her next word embarrassed her."Still what..?" Nick's jaw tightened. He could guess what word was coming out of her mouth next, but he was still curious to hear her say it out loud.And she did."A virgin..." Kate whispered, still sobbing. Her forehead against Nick's shoulder. She could not help hiding her burning face in embarrassment."And are you?" Nick can feel his chest ache at what possible answer she might say. He was afraid she would say she wasn't for whateve
Kate was trying to hide her pain and maybe injury from Nick that she kept her body in a curling position. But Nick did not hesitate to lift her like a sack of potatoes in his shoulder, walked, and laid her down on the couch in his dad's study room.They were already by its door when Kate caught up with Nick as he was heading to it and Kate wanted to ask something."I'm fine, I'm fine!" Kate panicked when Nick throw her to his shoulder and walked towards the study room."I will say you are if you are after I check on it," Nick glared at her. "Now stay still or I will forget about the deal we discussed earlier."Kate could no longer retort. She was really in pain but she was afraid to look even more stupid in Nick's eyes, so she said she was fine. Now that Nick is obviously annoyed, Kate wanted to curse herself for being so clumsy. She was so eager to hand him her class schedule that she aimlessly ran to her room. She did
Nick would usually drive to school, but he decided to take a cab this time. He won't make it to focus driving when he needs to do some things in multitasking. He checked his phone for Kate's class schedule and tried to remind her never to be meek in front of her bullying schoolmates.Nick decided to send her a message as she might already be busy by now. Besides, he doesn't call her. It would be weird if he starts doing so.Nick: "Don't let anyone bully you, or I will tell your mom what happened at home yesterday. Fight if you have to, physical or verbal. Do not let other people push you around, do you understand?!"No reply.Nick: "Tell me if anything happens. You may not have my father's last name, but your mom is his wife. You defend yourself, and you also defend the family."Nick did not want to make his concern sound ambiguous, so he used the family as a chopping board. He was hoping his motivations and warnings would wor
"Yes. May I know who is calling?" Nick politely asked.He knew it was a number from the school, but he wasn't sure who was calling. The seriousness of the situation will depend on who is calling him if it has anything to do with Kate being in trouble."This is the Principal of the Rosa Parks High School," the principal wasn't sure if the Nicholas Eudovic that he knew and this man over the phone is the same person, so he did not mention knowing a person with the same name. "Are you the guardian of Kate Taylor?""Yes. Is she alright?" Nick asked abruptly.The principal was taken aback to realize the guardian was not angry about his student being in trouble. He sounded worried about her safety instead. The old man cleared his throat and glanced at Kate, who was still sitting properly on a chair in the Principal lounge."She is alright. But not the student she had trouble with," the principal answered.
