Mrs, Not Ms.ERIC's POV"Can I get her ice cream?" She asked. There was a slight hesitation in the lady's eyes, then she nodded when her child stared up at her. Then she rose from her position and hurried toward me. "I want to buy an ice cream, but I don't have any money."I stared blankly at her speechless at her request. She didn't have any money, yet she was pleading to get a child an ice cream."Can we get an ice cream for little Lily?" She said and before I could give her any reply, she was already pulling my arm. "Please," she begged, giving me cute puppy eyes."Let's go," I said, letting her pull me freely. I followed her to the ice cream truck."Hello Mr, can I have three cones of ice cream? Two vanilla and a strawberry."I watched her hurry to the kid after collecting the cones of ice cream from the vendor. I couldn't hear what they were saying from this position, but I saw her hand the two strawberries to the child, then the vanilla to the mother whose expression suddenly t

THE FAMILIAR SMELL OF RAMENERIC's POV"A few days before they were killed, I overheard them making plans. They wanted us to move from the house. It was supposed to be one of their surprises for my upcoming birthday, but I found out even before." She said and then let out a sad chortle. "It would have been the best day of my life because even though I had overheard them, my curiosity hadn't stilled for once. I was excited to move from the neighborhood. Also, mom used to always make me Ramen with lots of spicy kimchi since we were Korean." How didn't I know that? I wondered to myself. How did her file not say anything about her real nationality? But, now that she said it, I couldn't help but notice the similarities in the looks."I miss having mom's special Ramen, she used to make the best of it." She said and leaned into my shoulder. Noticing that, I stilled for a moment. She had just put her head on my shoulder. Was it happening? Are we bonding now? "And, I miss coming home to the s

PRETENCERAYNE'S POVI watched him leave and I suddenly felt something break within me. I couldn't explain the reason. He had left in such a hurry and that too, like there was trouble. I could only wish that he returned safely.This is me, three hours past evening, still staring out through the transparent glass walls. There still wasn't any sign of him. With each minute that struck by, I felt the knot in my stomach tightening. The bodyguards were still down there, all over the house, guarding it from a danger I didn't know of. I had overheard him asking one of the men in a suit to protect me at all costs, and I couldn't understand why.Two hours more, the night had turned dark, and even though the city was fully lit up and looked as beautiful as it had the previous day, I wasn't feeling the ambiance of it. I turned to leave the glass wall and stroll into the room. I could probably retire to bed, and maybe, wait there for him. After all, we still had a movie to see together. Or, was t

ALREADY A MESSRAYNE's POVI looked at the small swelling in his pants and I wondered why it was there."Come here!" He called, stretching an arm toward me. I hesitated for a moment before starting toward him in slow steps. I stopped when I was a few inches away from him, took his hand, and he suddenly pulled me so close into his arms, that my breath hitched as I fell face flat into his naked chest. With faces Inches away, lips close apart and bodies so close, and warm breath fanning the unclothed part of my neck, I felt my heart racing. Any slight movement and I might just be kissing him.I felt one of his strong arms wrap around my waist, then he lifted me off of him. "Sit!" He said, patting the spot on the bed next to him. I obeyed him, and sat down, looking down. My heart was racing nervously and my stomach was all butterflies, I didn't want him to see the shyness in my eyes.ERIC's POVHave you ever heard of the word Erect?" I asked and she slowly nodded. It surprised me that she

Currently TrendingHe took the phone from his pocket, and glancing at it, he let out a calm sigh. Before picking it up."Hello!"Eric glanced down at his phone, and seeing the caller ID showing no number, his perfectly sculpted face creased into a frown as he answered the call."Wow! Look who's calling me. I knew you'd miss me." Eric's voice Immediately turned teasing the moment he took the call. " It's barely even been up to a week since I left, yetyou've been calling me nonstop." Eric said with a smirk visible at the side of his lips. The voice on the other end was silent, and Eric pictured Bryce rolling his eyes and a grin spread across his face. Bryce ignored all of Eric's remarks and went straight to the point."Someone saw you out together with the woman, they took a photo, and it's currently number one on all search rank. What do you do?" Bryce asked.ERIC's POVListening to Bryce's report. Two things ran in my mind: Rayne and Rayne."Let it be, after all, it's true." I said
