《One More Chance》 Chapter 1: Sneak Peek Chapter 1: Sneak Peek Samantha''s POV: "Sam." "Hmm?" I looked up to see my best friend Jack leaning against the door frame. Her face has a mixed expression of frown and worry. "Are you sure you''re ready to go back to San Francisco?" I put down the dress I was holding as I found myselfughing at her question. "Of course! Why shouldn''t I be ready?" She shrugged, walking towards the bed and slumped herself next to me. "I think you should ask yourself that question and not me.¡± "Well, I don''t have to ask myself that question because I know that I''m ready! It''s been almost four years since I left my hometown and I really missed the things I was doing then.¡± "Okay, as you say so." She gives me a shrug for the second time. "Are you now going to stay there for good?" "I don''t know. Maybe yes, maybe no. But honestly, I haven''t thought about it yet. I just want to see my daughter and surprise her on her birthday.¡± "How about seeing your husband again? Are you ready for that?¡± "Ex-husband! He''s no longer my husband, Jack, remember?" ¡°Alright, but what if you meet him again at the party? You know, it''s impossible for you not to see him again. After all, he''s still Cali¡¯s father.¡± "I know. And so --- if he''s there? I can''t stop him from seeing his daughter, besides, everyone expects him to attend the party. Of course, some of them are just to gossip about our lives." "Hmm... so you mean to say you''re ready to face him again after four years of hiding from him?" ¡°Excuse me! I''m not hiding from him, I didn''t and I will not. Why would I do that? And as for your question, of course, I''m ready. Ipletely forgot what happened. It''s all in the past. I am now Samantha Soriano version 2.0!" I said flipping my hair over my shoulder. You know, to show her how confident I am with my answer. But she justughed at me. "New Samantha Soriano version 2.0? Wow. Amazing! And because of that. I will be generous in giving you loud apuse.¡± I stared at her with a forced smile. She''s pping whileughing hriously in front of me... inside my room and on top of my bed. ¡°Haha...funny!" I just rolled my eyes and continued with what I was doing before she entered my room. "So you''re saying you have already moved on, huh?" She asked after a while. I know how much she''s trying to suppress herughter. I sighed. "Jack, how many times do I have to answer that question? I''ve already moved on and whatever has happened in the past. it will remain buried like all the stupid feelings I felt for him four years ago. I''mpletely healed, especially now that I have David. I love him and I''m happy with him.¡± David is my boyfriend. And If you''re asking if my daughter approved him as my boyfriend...the answer is yes and we''ve been together for six months "Oh...alright, you''repletely healed." She left me hanging on those words and busied herself checking her new polished nails. ¡®I now have David. I love him and I''m happy with him.¡¯ I repeat these words in silence. He''s a nice guy. He loves me. He understands what I went through and the only thing I could give him back for his love and support is to stay by his side. Well, that''s what I believe in. "Mom called mest night.¡± Her head snapped instantly. "What did she say?" "She was asking me if I would take David with me to the party.¡± "Whoa! That''s an interesting question!" Suddenly, her eyes lit up with excitement. "Tell me you said yes.¡± I shake my head. "You know he can''te with me, Jack.¡± "But why? I don''t see any problem if you take him to your daughter''s party. Cali likes the man too!" "I know, but he has a job. He''s a doctor, remember?¡± ¡°Aghh!" She pouted. Jack is David''s number one fan, but also my ex-husband¡¯s number one basher/sh/hater. ¡°You know what? I think you should really take him with you." "And why should I do that?¡± I asked raising my eyebrow. "Well, since we''re sure you will meet your fucking husband---" "Ex-husband! And please get rid of the awful word." "Jeez! Your daughter isn''t here!" ¡°Even though she''s not here, you shouldn''t be talking like that!" "Fine!" She huffed. "Can I continue now? As I was saying, since your F husband---" "Jackelyn!" "What? I didn''t say anything! I just said F --- what''s the problem with that?" I didn''t answer her. I just gave her one of my serious looks. ¡°Aghh! Don''t be so sensitive, Sam, he''s just your ex-husband! Duh?" "And who says I''m being sensitive---" but she cut me by cing her palm close to my face. "Hep! You don''t have to exin. Just let me continue, okay? What I was saying earlleCwas that you should take David with you to San ~ F ancisco. Why? Well, it''s not justto in roduse him to everyone, but te¡¯ show\your ex-husband what kind of p ¡®ecious gem he has thrown¡¯4 years ago. He chose to be with that woman who knows nothing but shows off on a catwalk wearing only two pieces of her shit --- I mean, cloth!" ¡°You can''t me her, she¡¯s a model.¡± I chuckled "I know she¡¯s a damned lingerie model, but you don''t get my point, do you? You and Luke had been married for 4 years, you had a five-year-old daughter but what got me confused is that he never learned to love you? Goodness!" ¡°Ouch! Do you really have to p me again with those words?" I pretended to be hurt. I couldn''t help it. I don''t even know why those words still give a slight sting in my spine. "Why? Isn''t it true? Jeez! If only it were David, I think he learned to love you in those 4 years of being together!" "Yes, if only he was David, but he''s not him. He''s Luke Marcuz Williams." "Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me! I forgot he¡¯s not David. Because the David I know knows how to treasure a precious gem, unlike your ex- husband. Imagine, he let you go so easily just to be with his ex-girlfriend who looks like a walking stick!" I covered my mouth and bit my lip just to keep myughter from escaping my throat, but I failed. "Jack, that''s enough. You shouldn''t be calling someone like that, especially with names.¡± "Oh, hell! Mother Mary are you with my cousin''s body?" "Jackeline Agustine, that''s not a good kind of joke!" I red at her. "Hehe... I''m just kidding. I''m sorry Mother Mary." She said looking at the ceiling with a peace sign on her fingers. ¡°Let''s be serious, Sam. What if suddenly everything changes when youe back?¡± This made me frown. "What do you mean?" "What if when you see him again you''ll realize that you still love him? That nothing has changed and that you are still in love with him even after four years?" My mouth suspended in mid-air. I admit I was kinda shocked by her question. "That''s not gaing to happen.¡± I smiled, shaking my head "How can you be sure of that?" "I just Know.¡± I said with a shrug. "Well, let''s see." It''s true, Jack, believe me. Because Luke and I..." (I smiled bitterly) "...we just met. but we weren''t really destined to be together. See? Fate had just yed on us." I blinked away the tears which I don''t know where it came from. "Ohh..." she held my hand, giving me a sad smile, You''re right, you''re not meant tobe together. It''s enough ~ that youbecame fool and stupid. S over HART I n your youth days. But? anyway, at least that''s stupidity gave yousthe most precious gift you ¡®ve ever received." Content b¨¦fongs to "Yeah, my Cali.¡± A smile formed my lips upon mentioning my daughter''s name. ¡°Hmmp! If you didn''t flirt with him that night and didn''t spike his drink, surely you would have like to be single and carefree in those 4 years instead of being tied to his name!" "Yeah, but don''t you think that if I didn''t do such thing, I wouldn''t have Cali at this moment who will be celebrating her birthday the next day.¡±This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. "Haist, you must be thankful for having her after seducing her father. Gosh! I could still remember your face when you told your mom about your pregnancy, you were only 17 then. Whates in your mind that night for doing those stupid things?¡± I smiled. "Well, first I was too young, naive and I wasn''t thinking of what possibly might happen after doing it. I was kinda curious and jealous, and of course, I was still the old Samantha who always gets what she wants." Scratching the back of my neck, I nced at her. "Tsk.tsk.tsk... so stupid!" She said shaking her head. "Samantha Soriano version 2.0? Let''s see if you can prove your words in front of him." "You really know how to support your best friend, huh?" "Of course! Anyway, do you need help packing your stuff?¡± "Ahh... thanks bestie, I appreciate your offer, but no, thanks." I smiled sarcastically. "After reminding me of all my mistakes years ago and after calling me stupid, you really still remember offering your help?¡± She gave me a puppy smile. "Okay, if you don''t want my help. then I have to go.¡± "Oh, yes, I think that''s the best thing you can ever do for me today, getting out of my room." "Really?" "Really! I confirmed, taking one of the pillows. "You better get going now before I forget you''re my best friend, argh! I''m going to smack your ass!" I tried to hit her but since she quickly ran out of the door, the pillow justnded on the floor. I still hear herughing inside my room as she forgets to close the door. Cops, no, she hasn''t forgotten. She intentionally didn''t close the door to annoy me. "Haist! Jackeline Agustine!" I dropped my hack to the bed when Jack finally eft my room. She''s right. The biggest''mistake Imade also ~ gave mea precious and memorable gift in- Ay life... bing a mather. It wasa mistake that I will forever regret doing but would be grateful fOP at the same time. Cosit¨¦nt Staring nkly at the ceiling, a sad smile formed my lips as the part of that happy and painful memories crossed my mind again. Chapter 2: Spoiled Brat Samantha Chapter 2: Spoiled Brat Samantha ~~What is this I''m feelin¡¯ I just can''t exin. When you''re near, I''m just not the same. I tried to hide it, tried not to show it, it''s crazy, how could it be? I''ve fallen for you. Finally, my heart gave in. And I''m fallin¡¯ in love, I finally know how it feels, so this is love~~~ -Toni Gonzaga- Four years ago...a 17-year-old Samantha... Samantha''s POV: "Ouch!" I screamed, caressing my forehead. Then a crumpled papernded in front of me. I don''t have to ask who did that stupid thing as there is only one person who always does such a thing to annoy me. My older brother, Dale. Frowning, I slowly turned my chair only to see him lying on my bed, grinning with his legs crossed against each other. ¡°Dale! What the hell are you doing here?" "Shhh... hey, sis, why do you always forget that this is also my house?" He changed his position. He faced me, resting his head on the palm of his hand while his elbow supported its weight. "Excuse me, I don''t forget that this is also your house, but let me just remind you that this is my freaking room! Argh! Get out of here right now!" I always thank God for having strengthened my lungs every time I have to yell at my brother, yet, I also ask him, why of all my father''s sperm cells, He let this one fertilized my mother''s egg cells? Why did He give me the most annoying brother instead of a loving and caring sister? But no matter how I tried to search the answer, the more He makes my brother the more irritating--- annoying---exasperating---infuriating---aghh! Whatever you may call it! "What if I don''t?" "Then I''ll call Dad to kick you out of here!" I huffed. In my own opinion, Dad loves me more than he loves my brother. "Go, ahead. I won''t stop you. When he gets here, I''ll tell him what I saw on yourputer.¡± ¡°Huh!¡± My eyes widened in shock and I looked back at myputer screen. That''s it. The handsome face of Dale''s best friend---Luke is still smiling on the screen. I turned it off immediately and nced back at myughing brother. Take note, in an annoying way. "So what are you waiting for? Why don''t you call Dad or even Mom so I could tell them---" but he didn''t get the chance to finish what he was saying as my notepad fell on his face See? My things knew how to fly when I get annoyed. "Dale Sebastian Soriano! Don''t you know how to respect someone''s privacy? You''re so annoying!¡± But he justughed even more. My chest goes up and down but I remained seated. I''m really trying to calm my nerves to kill my own brother. How I wish sometimes for the ground to open up and swallow him. I don''t care if it includes my bed, I''ll just ask Dad to buy me a new one. "Samantha, Samantha, Samantha. Tsk.tsk.tsk... when are you going to wake up and stop dreaming about my best friend? Oh, no, I forgot you''re awake. Stop daydreaming about Luke, because let me tell you. he already has a girlfriend. And even if he doesn''t have one. he will certainly never notice you." ¡®Quch.'' My heart screams inside. "He will never look at you. Tss! He doesn''t even like you, I mean, you''re not his type." Is he really my brother or have I just been adopted? He''s a straightforward person and sometimes I couldn''t help but be hurt by his harsh words. "You really know how to throw harsh words, are you?" ¡°Because it''s true, Sam. You''re no matchpared to all the girls who unt their bodies every day in front of him. Look at yourself. you don''t even know how to use makeup." "You know what, I started getting confused if we are really siblings! You don''t love me and I feel it!" "Tss! Stop the drama, Samantha, it doesn''t suit you.¡± I just blinked repeatedly. The nerve. "I''m just concern about you, don¡¯t you get it? You''ll never want to be his girlfriend if you just know him." ¡°Ahh---shhh! You''re lying! I know he''s a good man." ¡°You don''t know him, Sam, and you''re too young for the kind of rtionship you''re dreaming of." ¡°But I love him, Dale!" "Love? Tss!" He said, scrunching his face and then looked at me as if what I said was the most disgusting word he had ever heard. "What do you know about love? I''m warning you, Samantha, to stop your illusions about Luke. He already has a girlfriend.¡± ¡®I''m warning you, Samantha, stop your illusions about Luke...h...h...h...h...'' I mimicked it inside my head. I chose to ignore him as he starts lifting his body out of my bed and I hope out of my room too. "He''s not the right person for you. You''re only 17 while he''s already 21. Someday, you''ll forget about him when you meet the one destined for you. But for now, focus on your studies and stop flirting with my best friend." I just rolled my eyes. The word came from him, Luke has a girlfriend---yes, a girlfriend, meaning a girlfriend only. And since they are not yet married, I still have the chance to make him look at me and of course, to love me. Yay! I thought he will finally leave my room, but to my dismay, he stopped when he reached the door. "And may I add, his eyes were only for his beloved Cherry, so back off little princess." And that''s it. I tried to throw my pen on his back but he already disappeared from my sight. "Grrr! You forgot something, my dear brother. What Samantha wants, Samantha always gets! Let''s see if you can stop me, even his girlfriend. What¡¯ s.her name again---Cherry?2 Well May the best woman wii Cherry. "I uttered the girl''s name full afpitterness. I''ll do everything to make him mine, by hook r by crook!" And an evil smile began to form my lips. "Jack, can you go with me after ss?"This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. I asked my best friend Jack the moment I slumped on the bench in front of her seat in the library. We just had our early lunch break and decided to go to our favorite ce in the university to kill the two free hours "Why, where are we going? Don''t tell me you''re going to your brother''s school again?¡± She whispered flipping the pages of the book in her hand. "Ahh... you really are my best friend. You can easily read what I have in mind." I said pping slowly, too careful not to catch someone''s attention, especially the olddy sitting in the nearest corner...the librarian. "I''m sorry but I can''t go with you this time, Sam. I have something important to do after ss.¡± ¡°Hmmp!" I frowned, crossing my arms in front of my chest. "Something important to do? Really?" "Yup, so l''m sorry.¡± She said not even spare a nce in my direction. "Come on, Jackeline, as if I don''t know you! You just don''t want to see my brother.¡± She instantly stopped what she''s doing and stared at me seriously. "Fine. You got me there. I don''t want to see your annoying brother and then what? You know how much of a bully he is!" I bit my lip to control myugher. I don''t want to be left alone in this room, cleaning the floor until 5 pm. Yes, I hate my brother every time he has be lie a demon whispering-barsh and annoying w words inghy ears. But if I will ask ? Jack torte from the scale of Wo 10 how much she despises my-¡¯ brother, I''m sure she wouldnt hesitate to give 11 --- 12 -=.6r maybe more. They were like oil amd water, they just don''t mix. to "Jack, we have the same dilemma when ites to my brother, but please just ignore him. He will only make fun of you if you show him how affected you were with him.¡± "No, Sam, this is not just about your brother. Mom also asked me to help her to prepare dinner for tonight.¡± ¡°Haist. Fine, I guess I don''t have a choice. I''ll just go there alone." I shrugged. "Sam, when are you going to stop chasing Luke Williams? He doesn''t even talk to you longer than a minute.¡± "Oh, gosh. You know what, you''re now bing my brother, duh!" I rolled my eyes. "Hey, don''t you everpare me to him. I''m just worried about you." I sighed. In the back of my head, I''m getting confused if she and Dale talked about having the same lines. "We''re only 17 and that''s just an infatuation. I''m sure your feelings for him will eventually fade as time goes by." "You don''t understand---¡± "No, Samantha, listen---" "No, Jack, you listen to me. I know I¡¯m too young to understand everything about rtionships, but I know what I feel for him isn''t just puppy love. I love him, Jack, and I''ll do whatever it takes for him to notice me.¡± "¡°Sam---" "I promise, I will make him mine sooner orter.¡± "Oh, jeez! You''re insane!" "Well, that''s what love can do to us." I shrugged. "Just wait and see, I will make him my man by hook or by crook.¡± "Whew! Go ahead and good luck.¡± I chuckled at her sarcastic reaction. "But seriously, Jack, are you really noting with meter after our ss?" I dropped my chin on my arm which resting on the table. "No. I told you, I will help my mom make dinner for tonight.¡± "Hmmp!" I straightened my seat. "You just don''t want to see my handsome brother." ¡°Haha... duh! Whether my mom asked me to Gook dinner or not, I still won''t go witht youter. I have two . reasons,my dear Samantha. ~ Number-one, of course, I don''t want to seeyour chauvinist /shh- narcissist brother, and number two, won''t help you with your € evil ns towards Luke." I couldn¡¯t helpughing out loud after hearing the word ¡®evil¡¯. Am I that bad? "Shhh! Be quiet, Ms. Soriano otherwise you will clean the whole library this afternoon!" Jack and I were both shocked when the olddy appeared in front of us. Oops! "I''m sorry, Miss Pineda. I promise to lower my voice and I won''t do it again.¡± I said giving her a fake apologetic smile with a peace sign on my finger. "You better be, Ms. Soriano.¡± ¡®Yeh-better-be-Miss-Seriene..." I mimicked her when she has already returned to her seat. Jack covers her mouth as she also doesn''t want to be left and clean the whole library as punishment. Chapter 3: I dont like you! Chapter 3: I don''t like you! ~~Why do I feel this way when I know you have someone that you''re seeing each and every day? Should I y this game of just being your friend when I know that''s not where I want it to end? How could this be wrong when the feeling¡¯s so strong? Tearing me apart I feel it in my heart~~~ -Nina Garrido- Jack really did what she said. She didn''te with me to the university where my brother and my first love, Luke were studying. Visiting my brother at the University is not my first time doing it. I''ve done this many times in the past eight months since I knew that his best friend had returned to San Francisco to continue his studies. But I must admit that this is the first time Ie here ¡®ALONE¡¯, as my best friend''s rope of patience towards my brother has already reached its limit. Well... I guess you already know the reason Wearing my new mini skirt or should I say---the shortest I''ve ever had---skirt, I smiled at all the girls who actually presume to be my sister-inw in the future. "Hi, Sam." They greet me in unison. "Hello." I greet back smiling. Well, Dale and Luke are both famous in this school, not only because they both have looks and appeal, but also because they were both heirs to the largest advertising and real estatepany in the country. Luke Marcuz Williams is the only child of the man who owns thergest advertisingpany in San Francisco, while Dale Sebastian Soriano---you know, my brother...is the eldest child who will soon assume the position of CEO in our father''spany. Upon entering the huge air-conditioned basketball court, I attracted the attention of some students who are watching the practice, but as usual, I just gave them a smile. What would I say when I know that some of them find me as a threat. A threat to them not having their happy ending with my Luke Williams. Tss! As if he would spare them his precious attention. If I, the sister of his best friend, had difficulty getting his attention, what more of them? I kept walking until my feet reached the best spot where I could see my king ying. I''m sure they haven''t noticed me yet. Well, it''s a big favor on my part, since I was able to watch and stare the way Luke''s muscles flex every time he moves. So the game started. I just rolled my eyes when the annoying creatures--- I mean, girls behind me started screaming the names of their favorite yers. But my heart jumped out of my chest when our eyes met. I smiled sweetly at him, but I only got a nk stare before he ran to the other side of the court. ¡®Hmm... it''s okay. I know you''ll be mine soon.'' A desperate smile formed on my lips. I continued watching their practice---no, I continued watching him run then and there in silence wishing to be the one who wipes his face with a clean towel, and licks the drops of water that identally flow from his lips onto his neck. "What the hell ---" It''s toote for me to avoid the flying round object as it already hits me on the shoulder. And because of its strong impact, I fall from my seat. "Ouch!" I screamed because of the unexpected pain. "Oh, God! Are you okay? I''m sorry, I didn''t catch the ball before it went in your direction.¡± A new face from the team asked me while helping me to stand up. "It''s okay, I''m fine.¡± I tried to smile after seeing Luke standing behind him. "Tss! This is a college university, but what is a spoiled brat high school student doing here?¡± Luke sneered and although it pinched my heart, I still managed to smile --- charmingly. "Hi, Luke." He stared at me and I didn''t miss the way he clenched his jaws after seeing my skirt. His expression became darker, but I ¡®misinterpret it in some. naughty idea¡¯. I hold my breath and held my chin up. This is it, he finally noticed my outfit "Miss, do you want me to go with you to the clinic?" Asked the man standing next to me which I didn¡¯t notice his hand still holding my arm. I nced at him then to his hand---slightly annoyed. He removed it immedialy with an apologetic smile. Hmm... his looks aren''t that bad. He''s actually cute. "I''m sorry, but if you want I can go with you." I raised an eyebrow. Nice voice. But before I could even open my mouth and refuse his offer, Luke scolded us, frowning. "No! She won''t go anywhere with you Paul. She''s fine. Look at her, she still can stand with her own feet, so I''m sure she''s okay." "But captain---" "Let''s go back with the practice and you too, Miss Soriano, can go home. This is a University and not not the right ce for you to hang out. I''m sure you wouldn''t want your parents to know you''re here." "Huh?" I blinked, suddenly lost of words for a second. ¡°Come on, Paul.¡± I was just pulled back to earth when he started walking away after throwing me a hard re. "W-Waitl" I can still feel the pain on my butt but I have to run after him. I don¡¯t want to miss this opportunity as it only happens in a blue moon. ¡°Luke!¡± I grabbed his arm which made him stop and look at me. I swear my heart stopped beating the moment he turned around. His cheeks were red and so were his lips. Oh, gosh! He looks so handsome. "What?" "Uhm" "What do you want, Ms. Soriano?" Oh, yeah...the second time he called me Miss Soriano. "Why are you calling me by myst name? I told you to call me Sam, besides, you''re my brother''s best friend, aren''t you?" He scoffed, removing his arm from my grip. ¡°Right. Your brother and I are best friends and not us. We are not even close." "Yeah, but we can at least be friends, you know.¡± I shrugged awkwardly, trying to keep up his pace. "Look, Miss Soriano, I''m busy and I don''t have time for this childish conversation.¡± "Childish---no, it''s not! I mean it. We can be friends." I know some of his teammates are looking at us right now with different expressions on their faces, but the thing is--- ¡®I don''t care.¡¯ He instantly stopped walking. And I take that as an opportunity to tell him what I feel, where honestly, I''ve already forgotten how many times I''ve confessed it to him "I like you, Luke Marcuz. No, I think I''m falling in love with you." I smiled even though I already knew what his next words will be. We heard some cheerings from the other students and his expression darkened as he formed his fists into a hardball. It''s okay--- I know he wouldn''t hit me. "You know what, why don''t you just go home and do your homework instead of bothering me? You''re too young for this kind of thing, don''t you know that? And forgodsake, how many times do I have to tell you that I don''t like you!" "Ouch." My right hand automatically lifted into my left chest. "But I said I like you, what will you do about it?¡± ¡®Who says I can''t be an actress?¡¯ "You''re just wasting your effort. Samantha. Wearing heavy makeup, fitted shirt, short skirt and 4-inch heels is only for those desperate women!" Maybe if we''re just in a different situation, I would have jumped 10 times and roll on the ground as he mentioned my name... but his words cuts not only my heart but also my ego. "I already have a girlfriend and I love her." "I know, but just like what you said, she''s only your girlfriend and not your wife. So that means I still have a chance to prove myself to you." I shrugged. I don''t know where I got the strength to spill those words, but I have to make him understand what I feel. I noticed the fire registering in his eyes, showing a silent warning as he took a step closer to me. "Listen kid and bear this in your mind!" ¡®Whoa! Did he just call me a kid?" "You''re too young and naive to understand the things around you. And do yau think I''m oblivious of x what youre doing?" He scoffed. "No, I''m not,So better stop this childish act of''yours and stop bothering me. Ive my girlfriend and I would ri¨¦ver, never choose you.aver her.¡± "But I---" I was about to say ''I can do everything to make him love me and exceed whatever his girlfriend is giving him, but I didn¡¯t get a chance to say those words as I flinched when he grabbed my shoulders. "I''m warning you for thest time, Samantha, stop what you are doing. I don''t want this to be the cause of our fight because I swear if that happens, you will never want the consequences." A loud gasp escaped from my lips when he squeezed my shoulders tightly before giving me a not-so-strong push. And with onest re, he left me speechless and open-mouthed in the middle. He was already 10 meters away from me when I finally able to get myself back. "Tss!" I scoffed. So what. if this leads them to fight? I would definitely scream in happiness if that happens. And who says I''m afraid of his warning? I am Samantha Soriano and whatever Samantha wants, she always gets... I mean, always. "What did you do again this time, Samantha?" The smile on my lips vanished when I saw my brother approaching me "Oh, brother, I didn''t notice you earlier---" "What are you doing here and what the fuck are you wearing?¡± I promise, he¡¯s not mad--- he''s just angry at the way he scrutinizes my clothes. ¡°Oops, this is what they called an ¡®outfit¡¯.¡± I shrugged. "To hell with your outfit! Didn¡¯t I tell you to stoping here and stop flirting with Luke? Oh, no--- the right word is seducing! When the hell are you going to stop with your craziness?¡± He whispered-yelled. Guess what? He never let me speak. He held my wrist tightly and pulled me towards the exit ¡°Ouch! You''re hurting me, let go of my wrist. I can walk, you know." "The hell I care!" He only freed my arm when we''re finally out of the court. "Who the hell let you entered the campus wearing that disgusting outfit of yours?¡± I sighed harshly. "Seriously, how many times do you have to mention the word ¡®hell'' every time you''re asking me?¡± "I am not kidding, Samantha!¡± I held my breath. "Argh! I was wearing jeans when I entered the gate, I just changed before going to the basketball court. Happy?" But he didn''t say anything. He remained standing while shaking his head. "Are you reallythat desperate to do these things?-God!

"Haha, go ahead, I''m sure they won''t believe you.¡± I raised an eyebrow, too confident with the words I said. He stopped from opening the passenger side, grinning. "Who says they won''t believe me if I ask Luke to confirm my statement? Not to mention the security guards and some of the students who witnessed your stupid things.¡± I gulped. That was when a smile left my lips. Samantha''s POV: ¡°Gosh, Jackeline Agustine, hurry up! For sure the ne won''t wait for us!" I screamed, holding the handle of my bag. My eyebrows are in a straight line as I wait for Jack in the living room. Today is my flight, or I should say ¡®our flight¡¯ back to San Francisco. I don''t know whates to her mind as she suddenly decided toe with me. A few minutester, she came out with tworge travel bags in her hand. "Goodness--- don''t tell me you also bring your room with you?" I sarcastically asked when I noticed that aside from the twarge bags, she also has a not-sorge shoulder bag. "Oh, actually, I''m also thinking of taking the whole apartment with me to San Francisco." She winked. "Haha... funny!" I snort, rolling my eyes on her which she just returned with a loudugh that echoed almost throughout the living room. "Come on, I don¡¯t want to bete for my daughter''s party tonight.¡± "Don''t worry because New York is 3 hours ahead of San Francisco, so we still have a few hours to rest and get ready for the party. Haist! If it weren''t for my adorable Cali, I wouldn''t step back to San Francisco---" "And see my brother again." I interrupted her, with a known smile ying on my lips "Hmmp! Oh, you''re absolutely right. Your chauvinist brother is one of the reasons why I don''t want to go back to San Francisco.¡± "If so, what made you decide toe with me when you know there''s a possibility that you might see him at the party?" "I told you, it''s because of your daughter. You know how much I love Cali too. She''s an adorable and sweet little girl." ¡°Oops! Don¡¯t you ever say that in front of her." "Yes, I know. She no longer wants anyone to call her a baby or anyone girl because she thinks she''s a grown-up girl. Hmmp! Like mother, like daughter... so stubborn!" Our way to the airport was filled withughter and some memories of the past. At our favourite fast-food restaurant 7 years ago... "What the heck! Are you fucking insane, Samantha?" That was Jack''s first reaction when I told her about my n of seducing Luke to the next level "Well, I have no choice, Jack." "What are you talking about you have no choice? You have all the choices in the world to stop your craziness over Luke Williams, otherwise, you will end up miserably!" "Miserably? No, Jack, because miserably is what will happen to me if I just let him marry that woman after his graduation!" "Oh, my God! ¡®That woman¡¯ seriously? Well, for your information or just in case you are forgetting, that woman you are mentioning is none other than his girlfriend! So whether he chooses to marry her after graduation or impregnate her before their graduation, it''s his choice!" "Argh! That''s not gonna happen and I''ll make sure of that! Luke Marcuz Williams is mine and I''ll do everything to make himpletely mine, sooner orter!" This time the look she gave me shows disgust and disapproval. Well, could they me me for my actions or if I had the worst reaction? Could they me me if two hours ago, I identally overheard my brother and Luke talking on the phone? Dale greeted him. He asked him how sure he was about the wedding. At first, I was a little confused about what they were talking about--- you know, the word ¡®wedding¡¯ could hardly register in my head. Until I heard the name ''Cherry'' and secondster, Dale congratted him and promised to help him prepare for his wedding right after their graduation. I instantly grabbed my head in total shock. He can''t be. They can''t be. "You know I love you, Sam, right? You''re my best friend, but I''m sorry because this time I won''t be on your side. I won''t help you." "Jack?" "This is not right. I Know how much you like him but doing something like this? Like stooping yourself down just to---" ¡°I love him!" "Fine! You love him if that''s what you describe your feelings towards him. But as I was saying, stooping yourself down just to make him yours and to stop the wedding---gosh, Samantha! You''re forgetting about the decency and morality of being a woman! What if you get pregnant?¡± I gulped at herst question "Can''t you even think about your parents, what their reactions will be---" "And who says I will them know about my n?" I asked, my voice rising a little. She said nothing, but she remained staring at me. I know she still has a lot of words to say to me, but I was shocked by her next words. "Okay." She sighed. A long deep sigh that shows resignation. "Well. I guess I can never change your mind. Go ahead, carry out your n, but never knock on my door crying and asking for help on how to face the consequences of what you''ve done." "Jack---" as long as I want to talk to her more, I can''t do it anymore because she has already left me alone on our table. I just bit my lower lip as I watched her walk towards the restaurant entrance. That was the first day she started not talking to me. It''s also the same day I made the worst decision... the unintended decision I never knew would lead to the biggest mistake I will evermit in my life. And all because I didn''t listen to her and my brother. Queen Of The Night resto-bar, 9:30 pm. The roaring music filled my ears the moment I entered the exclusive night bar. It''s Sarieking through my eardrums ant throug hout the whole club. Andcou dn''t help blowing air when I smelled the disgusting ader of tobo and the different types of alcool, not to mention the gtrong scentsing from the people who dance in the middle. I don''t know if it''s just their perfume or their sweats that mix in the air or something. Jeez! It makes me want to smother the sausage and ham I have eaten earlier. They were dancing--- agh--- if you can really call it dancing, maybe the right word is ¡®grinding¡¯ as if there''s no tomorrow that life could offer. They were grinding their bodies and moving like an itchy caterpir. ¡®Gosh! Is this what they called nightlife? Eww!" I couldn¡¯t help frowning as I weaved my way through the crowd and towards the counter. I avoided the bartender''s eyes when she tried to sfudy my face. And it''s a great relief fr me when another. bartender Game I n the counter and talked to her. The only word that registered in me was ¡®bye¡¯ and. it b ¡®ought measmile. That means her shift has ended and the one who will serve me is the new guy. ¡° I ordered something to drink. Of course, the one 1 which will only make me tipsy anenot drunk while waiting for my prey. I admit that the : nervoussiess inside me was + creeping into my bones and my¡¯ spine, not because of the thing or tbifigs I''m going to do tonight, but how will I talk to the bart¨¦hder and convince him to agree with my n. Earlier at the entrance, I dropped $5000 into each of the guards to get me in. But now is a different situation. I have to double the prize so I could make him do whatever is in my n. Taking a deep breath, I started calling his attention. He''s raising an eyebrow when he stopped in front of me. ¡°How much does your service cost tonight. my boy?¡± "What the heck--" Guess what? He couldn''t continue what he had to say as he looked at me in amazement and thenughed out loud. Well, thanks to the loud music because he didn''t catch anyone''s attention. ¡°It seems like you''re already drunk, Miss. I''m sorry to tell you but I''m not a call boy." And he continued tough. ¡®Bullshit! Did I ask it right or---oh, no! ¡°Look, Mister, I''m sorry but that''s not what I mean and I''m not drunk." It still takes a few minutes before I finally convince him and, just like what I did earlier, I have to use the power of my secret best friend: money. "$5000." I put the bill on top of the counter. "Oh, no, that''s too small. Make it 10, baby.¡± He said shaking his head. Can I trust him? ¡°Gosh! Too greedy!" I muttered under my breath, rolling my eyes. I have no choice but to drop another $5000. ¡°Okay, that will do." He winked at me. ¡®Eww! Gross! Yucks! Whatever!" "So what are you waiting for? Give me the pill now." Oops. I bit my lower lip. "I don''t have any pills here.¡±This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. "What? You don''t have the pill? How are you going to---ohh...¡± I shook my head which made him grin like a psychopath who had just won a lottery. As if a psychopath knew how to buy a lottery ticket "...make it 15 and I''ll do the rest of the job.¡± I stared at him for a few seconds. wondering silently if I came with the right person. ¡°You don''t want to add another five? Okay, then forget everything---¡± "Ahh---fine! I''ll add another $5000!" "Ohh... so easy to make a deal with, huh?¡± He said smirking. "Dickhead!" The moment I put the third $5000 on the counter, he took it as if it were the first time he had taken such a sum of money. "Give me another shot, man." A drunk man called his attention, so he had to leave me for a few seconds. And when he finally finished serving him, he came back in front of me. "Anyway, how old are you? You''re a newbie here, aren''t you? It''s the first time I''ve seen your face here, baby." I took a long, deep breath before bringing the ss into my mouth. I simply ignored his question and pretended not to have heard him ask. "And may I ask, why are you doing this? Don''t you know the possible consequences of your action?" Gritting my teeth. my head snapped at him, "It''s none of your business!" "Fine, but can you at least tell me how ald you are? Because you seemed to look like 17." "Haist! Age is just a number and my age has nothing to do with you, so shut up, will you?" "But I was just asking about your age---¡± "You know what? I changed my mind!" "Oh-oh...¡± "I think I came with the wrong person. Give me my money back and I''ll just go home!¡± Chapter 5: Her failed plan Chapter 5: Her failed n ~~In a different ce and time, maybe in ancther life, I''ll bet that baby you and I would have worked. We never get the chance to try and what makes it worse is you would have loved me if you met me first~~~ -Eric Ethridge- "Hey, I was just asking, but fine! I won''t ask for your age anymore. Whew! Women of this generation!" I waited for almost half an hour before the man I was waiting for finally entered the club. I immediately called the bartender¡¯s attention and pointed to Luke''s direction. He recognized him instantly the moment I showed Luke''s photo. He hesitated at first. asked me again some random questions and because of that, I pulled thest $5000 out of my bag, and that¡¯s what made him shut his mouth. He nodded and motioned for me to hide while he¡¯s doing the rest of the job. Honestly, I have a lot of ns, way better than this. But after listening to his conversation with my brother, I don''t know what happened to me. Suddenly I became frustrated and desperate to make him mine, although I know that with this n I will not only be able to stop their wedding but also to destroy their rtionship. But that''s what I wanted and here I am now. Besides, backing out isn''t in my vocabry. I have already paid the dickhead of a bartender all my pennies, so I have no choice but to proceed with the n. The operation ¡®stops Luke Williams wedding and make him fall in love with me'' n¡¯ My eyes widened like saucers the moment I saw Dale walking behind Luke as they entered the club. I couldn''t help cursing because I didn''t know whether to continue doing it or I''ll be back next time. ¡®Whew! You have to think of a better solution for this, Samantha!¡¯ Until finally a brilliant idea came to my mind. I immediately ran to thedies¡¯ room and entered one of the cubicles. "Why the hell on earth would I do that?¡± I can imagine the deep frown painted on Jack''s forehead when she answered my call. I tried to ask her a favor to call my brother and pick me up from J''s house, one of our ssmates as the wheel on the back of my car ttened out, so I had to send it to the nearest mechanical shop "Please, Jack?" "What are you doing at J''s house at this veryte hour? And seriously, you''re really asking me a favor to call your narcissistic brother? Huh! Why don¡¯t you just call him and tell him to pick you up?" "I can''t!" I bit my lip. ¡®Jeez, why did I say that?" "What? What do you mean you can''t?¡± "Uhm--- I - I can''t reach his phone. I tried to call him but he''s out of range.¡± "Then why would you want me to call him if you know he''s out of range? Gosh Samantha, are you out of your mind? Besides, do you think he would believe me?¡± ¡®Goodness! Why did I say I can''t reach him? Argh!¡±Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "Please, Jack, just try to call him. He would believe you, I promise.¡± "Why don''t you just send him a message?" I pped my forehead. That question didn''t cross my mind. And since I was losing out of reasons in every minute that passed while talking to her... "Thank you, Jack, and please tell him I really need to go home right now. My allergy is now striking me. I''ve eaten buttered shrimp and too much chicken earlier and I badly need to take my medicine.¡± "Oh, my God, Samantha---" "Thank''s a lot, Jack. Labyah." I didn''t wait for her next word as I already ended the call. I literally turned off my phone so that she could never call me again, not even Dale. And speaking of allergy, they know that I wasn''t allowed to eat arge amount of chicken, especially crustaceans and some types of shellfish, so I''m sure Dale woulde and get me right away. And that''s what happened before I ended up in a room with Luke¡¯s sleeping figure after almost two hours of waiting. But the moment I got out of the washroom, my vision became blurry and I don''t know why I suddenly felt dizzy. I don''t remember ordering heavy drinks, ¡®cause I only asked the dickhead bartender to give me just adies drink. And as far as I remember, I only have two ¡®shots¡¯ if what they may call it. "What the heck is going on with me?¡± I asked myself confused. Massaging my temple, I took a deep breath and tried to walk towards the bed. The room is a bit dark and the only light sourcees from the small tablemp near the bed, which is enough for me to see how drunk Luke is. I sit on the edge of the bed. Greek God''s body unts freely in front of me and God knows how much I really wanted to touch every part of his body. And despite the heaviness of my eyelids, I tried to lift my hand and bring it to his hair. ¡®Oh, God.'' I uttered in silence. ¡®Am I dreaming? Because this is wow---no, it''s amazing! Haist... why can''t you just believe me and see how important you are to me? You always push me away so you don''t even see that I''m also hurting.¡¯ I don''t know but the tears started to blur my vision. I must be 17 but I know that I feel for him. I love him. ¡®You know what, I always wonder what happens if I was born at your same, would you ever notice me? Or what if I''m Dale and I happen to be your best friend, would you ever feel the same for me? Would you ever return my feelings. this love I have for you?¡¯ I wiped away the tears that ran fast on my cheeks and continued to y with his soft and smocth hair. I even balled it up in my small hand. Then my eyes and forefinger focus on his thick eyebrows which have a slight frown even in his sleep. After tracing his perfect sculpted nose with my fingers, my eyesnded on his slightly open red lips and I couldn''t help blowing an air. ¡®How I wish to be the one you always kiss with these soft and sweet lips instead of her, and how I wish to be her so you could love me the way you love her.¡¯ I''m not sure if this is my first and everst chance to do this. Besides, I don''t even know what will happen tomorrow, so before the drowsiness takes over me, I found myself cupping his face and kissing him passionately. ¡®Hmmm... a loud and distracting moan escaped through my lips. The new sensations that enveloping my body were too much to take in and I couldn''t help it. I couldn''t even help myself surrendering with his touch. I tried to open my eyes and I saw him. I saw Luke Marcuz Williams right on top of me. His lips were tracing down my belly and I gasped... until he reached his purpose. And it brought me new more sensations that make me wanted to scream but I can¡¯t. so instead, I bit my lip that I already sipped the metallic taste thates from it. Dreaming. I must be dreaming. But why does it seem so real? How I pray this isn''t just a dream, that we could stay like this forever and that I never wake up, so I could always be with him and his always next to me. He''s mine and I am his. It''s only in my dreams that I don''t have to y a smart girl in front of him. I don¡¯t have to go to his university every time I wanted to see him, as he would be the one to make an effort to see me. ¡°Baby girl." I tried again to open my eyes despite the heaviness that I felt with my eyelids only to see the smile on his lips. I was about to return that smile but I was a little bitte to do it. He captured my lips in a hard and possessive kiss while his hands were doing its job, wandering all over my body. I shivered at the warmth of his lips when he started kissing my neck and down to the de of my shoulders. His hard, toned chest pressed against my bare skin. I couldn''t exin exactly what I feel at that moment, He''s kinda rough and seemed iA a hurry, but it only excites me and adds fueltomy =? already Keated body. It''s the first time I Rave experienced this kind of sensation. New. Strange. Andreven thaxigh I couldn''t understand) every sifigle detail, there''s one hing I''m sure of, I don''t want this feeling to end. I want more and more of him. It really feels good. It''s great, actually. I was still busy analyzing my feelings when he positioned himself between my legs and... "Oh, God!" I gasped loudly as I felt the unexpected pain that surged down my core. Honestly, I didn''t expect my first time to be this painful and that I hadn''t even noticed that my nails were digging his shoulders. He¡¯s just too busy moving on top of me not to realize it. Until the pain finally subsides and turns it into another burning sensation that ¡®builds up inside me, crowningny mind in the pool of lust and thats It-- my whole body ~ shuddered beneath him. But the.¡± mostexciting part was that he- capttred my lips not ina kine of reugh, hungry or possessive kiss but in a passionate way. As if he were silently saying the words he couldn''t pronounce with his lips, he¡¯s pouring them through his kisses. After reaching his peak, he dropped his body next to me. And much to my surprise, he pulled me even closer to him, wrapping my small frame with his toned and strong arm while the other served as my pillow. "I love you.¡± I whispered, my face was on his neck. But I have heard nothing but his light snoring. Thirty minutester... or was it really thirty minutes, that passed, I''m not sure. I was awakened again by his touch and light kisses on my neck ¡ª and shoulders. Then I felt him inside me again. .and soon when we both reached our peak, he lied nextto me. And? don''t know know how-many times I opened my eyes, Half-sleep and half-awake, but every y time I opened them, I always found him on top of me, moving faster and giving me all that''s in him. And since I believe it was just a dream, a part of a really wonderful dream, I also gave my best to return his touch and kisses, until.. "I love you, baby girl.¡± I heard it. I heard those words before losing consciousness and falling asleep. Chapter 6: Her Mistake Chapter 6: Her Mistake ~One sided love is the purest form of love. It is the most painful and heartbreaking of all.

I thought it was just my mom''s arm like she always does every morning. She always sneaks into my room and waking me up with her motherly hugs and kisses. Even though I got confused as to why she didn''t wake me up this time, I ignored it, especially when I remember my intense dreamst night. A smile formed my lips. It''s the first time I''ve had such a dream and it seems so real. I was about to move and get up on the bed but I felt something strange between my legs. It''s aching? "Mom..." I called her. I opened my eyes, trying to lift her hand, but I frowned when I found it rough and a bit bigpared to the soft and smooth hand that my mom has. "Oh, God!" I breathe in panic. ncing at the arm that rested on my belly. And what I saw shocked me to the core. I''m naked! I''m not wearing any clothes or even underwear that made me look at the owner of that calloused hand. And that''s it. Confusion started running through my head as I tried to figure out where I was. "Oh, my God!" I whispered in panic, looking at the man who''s sleeping peacefully next to me. And it was only at that moment I realized that it wasn''t just a dream. It all happenedst night Panic and nervous began to creep in me as the memories from what I expected a dream, suddenly rushed back to my head. It''s as if they were a series of voltage that shocked all my nerves and made me numb and motionless for a second. Cold sweats formed in my forehead and I can''t decide what to do first, take all my clothes, wait for him to wake up and exin everything or run outside this room and hide from him from now on? ¡°Ahgg! What the heck did I do?" I asked myself, tapping my forehead. "Thest thing I remembered was that I got dizzy after using the bathroom... okay. I also remember that I kissed him but after that---oh, my God! I wasn''t supposed to sleep, right? What the hell happened?¡± I tried to remember the sequence of events after calling Jack in the bathroom, but nothing came to my head no matter how I tried. Well, except that I epted my second shot that the bartender gave me after using the bathroom. Then my eyes widened.. "Holy shit! It''s him! He put something in my drink! I need to talk to him!" I carefully removed Luke''s hand and pulled the sheet that covers his body. But I think it was a wrong move as he also wears nothing under the sheet. "Argh!" I ignored the shivers that crawled down my spine and wrapped the sheet around my body. I was about to get up, but as soon as my feet touched the floor, my legs wobbled like jelly and they failed me. I copsed and the hard tiled floor excitedly caught my weight. "Ouch!" I just bit my lower lip to stop creating any more sounds that would wake him up. This is not a part of my n and I don''t know how to exin it to him when he sees me with him in one room. I picked all my clothes scattered on the floor and tried to use my wobbly legs to get into the bathroom. But I was going to take my first step when something caught my attention.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Red. Red stain on the sheet. A red stain that shows that everything that happened wasn''t just a dream or a part of my wildest imagination. But there are three things left in my head and that I need to do right now---to get into the bathroom, put on my used clothes and get out of this room immediately. Hickeys! "One, two, three. four, five, six---oh, shit!" I couldn''t help cursing when I found those red dots on my neck, shoulders and alley of my breasts. I don''t know exactly what to feel while looking at my reflection in the mirror. Honestly, having sex with him wasn''t part of my n. I just wanted to sleep with him---as in ¡®sleep¡¯ but not having sex. My n was that just taking off his shirt. cover his lower body and take a picture with him while only wearing my tube bra. So that in the pictures it will seem that we were both naked and something has happened between us. And as for the red stain, actually, I have a small bottle in my bag that has a mixture of my favorite red wine and a red food coloring that I took from my mom''s drawer in the kitchen. I was nning to pour it on the sheet so that it will look like a bloodstain. But I don''t think I have to use them all anymore. The red liquid as I already stained the sheet with my real blood. And of course, I no longer have to take pictures of him, of us being together because I''m sure that everything that has happened will remain in my memory even if I try to delete all of them. After washing my face and drying it with a clean towel, I started putting on my clothes from yesterday. I have to hurry as I want to ask the dickhead bartender of what he put in my drinksst night. Taking my steps out of the bathroom, my mind was focused on my geal of talking to the bartender and I didn''t waste any second looking at the bed. took my bag and was about to open the door when suddenly a loud voice roared through the four corners of the room. "Where the hell are you going?" I gulped and identally dropped my bag in shock. I turned slowly and looked at his direction only to be surprised by his hard and ring gaze. He''s sitting on the edge of the bed and is still not wearing anything. "What did you do, Samantha?" "Huh!" I hitched my breath when he stood up and started taking steps closer to me. My eyes widened and my face slowly turned into crimson red due to embarrassment. He''s still naked, so I have the full view of his manhood swinging between his legs. "Enjoying the fucking view?" I blinked in shock and looked away from it in an instant. How would I exin everything to him? That I didn''t intend to have sex with him. All I wanted was to take pictures and use them against him. "I---I --- uhm---" "What the hell did you dost night? Did you enjoy it? Did you like it?¡± I flinched when he held my arms tightly. His voiceced with anger and so his eyes, that if that kind of look could ever kill, I''m sure I''m already lying six feet under the ground. "Fucking answer me!" ¡°Huh? I --- I didn''t do anything---" but he cut me off. "Liar! You spiked my drinksst night, didn''t you?" "I---" Holy God, what am I going to say? "I''m sarry," I uttered, lowering my head. I couldn''t bear to look him in the eye. They were like a fire that slowly burns my soul "Sorry? You''re fucking sorry?" "AWW... y-you''te hurting me." I tried to remove hig hands but he only tightened his-grip. My tears were ._ now fornairig around my eyes nots because scared but becauseot the gut that is eating me inside. * just.wanted to take picturescof you but I wasn''t intending to Rave sex with you." "Really?" He asked, clenching his jaws. "Believe me, Luke, this is not included in my n and I didn''t intend---" "Fuck your excuses! Why the fuck am I supposed to believe you?" and he began tounch curses and offensive words that almost made me cry, It was at that moment that I wished that the ground could open up and swallow me soy could no longer hear those words from him. It really hurts heafirig them, but it hurts mare that it ales from him. I cangee the a nger and hatred in his eye''s and 0 ti this made me want more toexin tbat it wasn''t my inten onto drug him, I just wanted him to¡¯Sleep and wake up next to me in bed. But I guess the bartender and I, didn''t understand each other. I haven''t exined it further. to ¡°You know what? You''vepletely lost my respect for you! I thought you''re different, but no, I was wrong!¡± Somehow I thank God for making me a woman because if not, I''m sure I''ll just find my face around the corner... bruised and swollen. "How did you do it?" "I asked the bartender to put something on your drinks but I didn''t know he would put a pill on my drinks too, so I fell asleepst night." I said bravely lacking him in the eyes. Hoping in silence that he would at least listen to me. But heughed sarcastically. The kind ofugh that will make you doubt what you said and ask yourself if it was wrong that I tald him about it or I should have just kept quiet. "Why did you do that? Why the hell did you do that? Didn''t I tell you to stop bothering me?¡± He let me go or should I say, he pushed me. I winced slightly when my back hit the door behind me. "I didn''t do anything. I told you I felt dizzy and fell asleepst night. I''m sorry. Honestly, I thought it was a dream---" "A dream? Really, huh? Was it a dream that you enjoyed so much?" "I''m just stating the truth. I have no ns to ruin you, I - I just want to be with you because I love you and that''s all.¡± "Samantha Sariano, the mere fact that you p aned all this means you have every intention of ruining me! ~ What is. i€for? You want meto notice-you? I don''t like you and.Aow manyctimes do I have to shout it in fragt of you just to make yet understand that I don''t like you?" He paused for a few seconds. "I don''t love you and do you think that after everything you didst night. I will still be able to love you?¡± I suddenly lost for words. I was just standing in front of him, motionless. But deep down inside, my heart has already shrunk and few more minutes. I''m sure it will totally melt. "That''s thest thing I will ever do!¡± The moment he stepped back, hot tears started streaming down my cheeks. I tried to prevent them from falling but as soon as those words came out of his mouth, the more I felt the guilt and couldn''t stop the tears anymore ¡°You know what?
