Chapter 10: Responsibility   Lura Elise   “W-water. . .” I hardly muttered as I felt my throat dry up.  It feels like I haven’t drunk anything for days. I’m also feeling hot and my whole body is aching so badly that I can’t even open my eyes. "Hey, are you awake?” I gulped when I heard someone speak beside me. That voice. It’s definitely . . . my boss. I swallowed hard again when I recognized that voice and I even feel a lot hotter when the steam of his fragrant breath touched my neck.  With all my might, I forced myself to open my eyes just to confirm if my hunch is true. However, I’ve got disappointed when I saw a white ceiling instead of his face.&nb

  Chapter 12: Commotion     Shit, Lura! Are you really that thirsty to have a taste on your boss that you're giving the motive?! Be demure, will you?! I chastised myself after being embarrassed about what just happened.   This is not the first time that we’ve almost kissed and I admit, I've been quite aggressive. I just don’t know why I’m always initiating us to do that. Maybe, just maybe, I’m really attracted to him.    I harshly heaved a sigh and then calmed myself down before adjusting my seat. I didn’t bother to open my eyes because I’m not yet ready to face him. I just pretended I was asleep and let him take me somewhere. Until I felt the car had stopped.   "Hey, woman . . . I know you're not asleep. Get your ass out of the car. We're here," he rudely demanded.     I grunted and quickly open my

 Chapter 14: Self–Control   “I’m sorry for snapping at you earlier. See you tomorrow, Elise. Good night . . .” That was the last thing my boss told me before he cut off the line. I’ve got stupefied. And that keep me up all night because it echoed in my head over and over again. So the next day, I woke up late and felt so exhausted. "Oh, Ate?" Maegan greeted me when I got down in the living room. She is sitting on the sofa with his brother Kurt while watching a children’s TV show. "Why do you look like that? Didn’t you sleep well last night? You look like a zombie,” she added with a hilarious l

 Chapter 16: Ecstatic   I was not in my right mind when I get into sir Gavin's car. Currently, we're now heading home. And I am not sure if we bid goodbye to our friends because honestly, I'm not literally with myself right now. Since we danced earlier, I felt like I was high in ecstasy. I didn't even know how I'd performed that dance as he hugged me in his arms. That exact moment, I felt like I was bound in a spell. I was lost in a paradise. Got stuck in there and I am torn into staying or going back to where I suppose to be. Then, all of a sudden, his lovely face with a sweet smile plastered in his lips showed up to me, making my heart pounded so loud and fast . . . again and again and again. Until I am

 Chapter 18: Astound  "You're really going with us to go to church, sir? You can still change your mind. They haven't been able to leave yet," I confronted him when he agreed to Tito Ronel’s invitation earlier after we had eaten breakfast. "Why? Do you have a problem with that?" I quickly shook my head because I can hear the annoyance in his voice. "Then, this conversation is over," he mumbled and then opened his car door. "Now, hop on,” he ordered me. I don’t have a choice but to follow him. So, I just took a deep breath and didn't complain anymore. I don't want us to argue any further. We might be stuck in the traffic and won’t be able to attend the first mass. I just sat quietly next to him while looking outside the window. A few
