Chasing the Bliss

Chapter 1

"Calyxta" Pov

I turned around when someone called me a girl. I sighed when I recognized her, Denise.

"Admit it, are you flirting with Vincent?" this question shocked me

I smirked at her.

"So what if yes?" of course I won't lose if he's cursed, I'm even more cursed

I saw his clenched fists so I made the smile on my face even bigger

"You're so flirty!" and he raised his hand to slap me but I immediately grabbed it

"Uh uh... no touching. So are you forcing yourself on him? You don't want him anymore, don't you?"

"What don't you want? Because you're flirting!"

"If he likes you he won't flirt. If he doesn't want you anymore don't force yourself. You look desperate"

I rolled my eyes and turned my back on her. I had a smile on my lips as I walked away from him but it was immediately replaced by a grimace when I felt him pull my hair.

"Flirt! You flirt!" it shouted and scolded me. I immediately grabbed her hair and twisted it in my two hands

I will not allow you to come home with hair!

I felt him scratching my neck up to my chin. I was about to retaliate with the hands that separated us.

There are many students around us!" he shouted

In my annoyance, I threw my shoe at him and it hit him in the forehead, which made me laugh out loud.

"Aaaarrrggghh" he moved forward to attack me again

"Denise!!" we turned around at the same time to the loud and angry shout

Vincent Hugo Villafuerte

He looked up at me. He looked at me from my messy hair and looked down at my neck. His eyes immediately became sharp and he came directly to me.

"F*ck, do you have a wound?" he grabbed my neck. I was startled when he touched the scratch that looked like it was still injured.

"Ask your desperate ex" I yelled back at him because of my annoyance.

He turned his gaze to Denise and took her by the arm.

"she was the first. He scolded me I was just walking"

I mockingly laugh at her.

"Lie better" I commented on his lying.

"Babe, see he teased me too. He's jealous because I'm your girlfriend" and Gaga apologized

"Ex. Ex girlfriend" corrected Vincent "and I don't care who started it, no one ever touches my Calixta, you understand?" he said emphatically and threw away Denise's arm that he was holding.

Vincent returned to my place. He took off his jacket and put it on my shoulders. Our eyes met as he fixed it in my shoulders. I can see the worry in his eyes.

"Let's go. I'm gonna treat your wound"

"Sorry" he mouthed the word to me and put his arms on my waist as we walked away from the scene.

He took me to his car and made me sit in the driver's seat while he stood outside facing me.

"C, I'm sorry" he said to me and held my hand

"I don't know about you Vincent, every time you break up, I'm the one who fights! I'm just your best friend and I feel sorry for your womanizing" I slapped his hand to let go of mine

He just chuckled and held my chin to face him. Electricity immediately crawled through my body because of what he did. I closed my eyes before I followed what he wanted. I faced him with an irritated face while my heart was banging so loud.

"Yes, I'm really going to stop, Denise is the last, I won't look for anyone else"

"Scam!! That's what you told me the last time your ex fought with me"

"I told you I'll stop chasing other girls if you agree to be my girlfriend" then he cupped my cheeks and planted a kiss on my lips which immediately surprised me.

I closed my eyes and felt his soft lips against mine. His lips started moving. He held my nape and pulled me closer to him. I responded to his kiss and hooked my arms on his neck. He angled himself so he could deepen the kiss. His kisses are soft and slow, it's like him taking his time tasting my lips. His tongue is seeking for an entrance so I opened my mouth and let him in. I moaned as he started to taste every corner of my mouth. He tightened his grip on my waist when he heard my moan. I answered his tongue. Our tongues are swords like no one wants to lose. I don't know how long that kiss lasted because we were holding the same breath when we parted.

He brought our foreheads together and his thumb caressed my lower lip.

"See? I know you love me C. So take me as your boyfriend" he said softly

I look at him directly in the eyes. Yes, I know I love you but I just can't risk it. I can't risk the friendship that we have for the relationship that may not last. I witnessed how he would change girls from time to time. 2 weeks is the longest he's had. So what if I agree to be us and then we end up in divorce? It's a shame that our friendship lasted more than a decade

"You know my answer to that, V. I'd rather be your bestfriend than be part of your long lists of ex girlfriends" I told him sadly

He closed his eyes as I started caressing his cheeks.

"I can't afford to lose you in case we don't end up together. You are too precious for me and I can't afford to destroy anything we have" I said as I planted a kiss on his lips.

"Please, Calixta Alana Monteverde, give me a chance. I am in love with you"

He is now sitting beside me on the driver's seat

His gaze is really poignant. His gray eyes are looking at me directly. I couldn't react properly because these were the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. When you look into its eyes it seems to take you to another place.

"What? Are you ready?" he asked me skeptically.

"It's okay V" I said to him annoyed "what if we don't stay together? What if our ending is different? Can you promise that we can still be friends? Are you willing to lose this kind of relationship with me?"

"C, I promise not to hurt you. Just give us a chance" he said softly and kissed the back of my palm.

I shook my head at what he wanted. His shoulders slumped and he looked out of the car. I can see redness in his eyes.

"Fine. I'll try better next time" he bowed as his thumb caressed my palm "Just promise me you'll stay by my side, you'll never leave me, okay?"

I smiled and nodded and hugged him.

He took me home to them to treat my wound. We caught up with his Mom and Dad sitting in the living room

"Hi Aunt Arisse and Uncle Mark" I came closer to kiss their cheeks

"Looking Gorgeous as always Calixta" Tita praised me

"So? Any improvements son?" Vincent asked angrily and looked at me casually.

"I don't want to, it's still friendzone" Vincent scratched his head before putting his arm around me

"You're weak with Calixta" he said laughing.

"Sister C" Kim, the youngest of Vincent's triplets, came to me and kissed me on the cheek "What happened to your neck? That looks awful"

"Let me guess, Brother 's ex noh" Ethan also came and gave his brother's stomach a soft blow

"Kinda" I hesitantly answered them

"Vicente! I'm telling you stop collecting your woman! Look at Calixta feeling sorry" Aunt Arisse's sermon

"It's okay Auntie, I made it back," I said proudly

"OMG, tell me the story Sister" and Kim pulled me away from them.

I detailed the story to Kim, he was very angry at what was done to me, which is why I was so happy with his reaction. She is really beautiful no matter how you look at it.

After a while, Vincent also attended us with a first aid kit. I told a story while he was busy arranging the first aid kit on the table.

"Then sister, what did brother say?" and even sneered at the brother

I looked at him and smiled before I returned my gaze to Kim.

"Of course, as always he says no one touches his Calixta"

Vincent suddenly touched my chin and let me face him. He lifted it slightly to see the scratch. I saw him purse his lips and clench his jaw.

"Awww, that's so sweet Brother. I'm the one who will come and tell my kim" he was still depressed watching how his brother would treat me.

"Awww" I flinched as the alcohol touched the scratch

"Tssk, it's really annoying! It's a trick because it's not allowed to retaliate when it's a girl" he said angrily

He continued what he was doing until it was finished. He held my hand and put it on his cheeks.

I smiled at him and he smiled back. We didn't talk but our eyes and our hearts have their own special way to communicate.

I am satisfied with this. Knowing I have him by my side to hold and to protect me. It's too much if I ask for more than this.

I'm willing to love him silently than to lose him permanently.

His my bliss and I'll keep him in ways I won't lose him.

"Hi, Alana" I turned to Jack angrily when he called me by my second name

"Stop calling me by my 2nd name"

"Why? It's beautiful like you"

"I don't know about you, tomorrow morning you have the strength to flatter" I led him to walk

"Hey, just wait. Here for you" he handed me a stalk of red rose.

I smiled as I saw the rose.

"Thank you. That's so sweet of you" and accepted that. I closed my eyes and immediately smelled it.

"So? When are you going to answer me?" it squeals again

"I told you Jack, I have no intention of having a boyfriend. I have been asking you to stop flirting with me for a long time. I can only offer friendship" and patted his shoulder gently.

"Just, I'll make sure I can get you too" and put his arm around me going to our building.

Jack is one of my closest friends. He's only 15 years old and he's flirting with me now. I'm 19 already but I really have no intention of answering any suitor because someone already owns my heart. I already closed the door for the other men. I have no problem making friends. I am a friendly person, that's why I know many people even in other courses and schools.

We are walking and laughing when I see a familiar face walking towards us. I waved and smiled at Vincent. He looked at me with his bloodshot eyes and then walked away from me.

I was confused so I quickly chased after him

"V!" I shouted but he didn't look at me. "Vincent" "Hugo" "Villafuerte" I called all his names but he still didn't look at me. "Vincet Hugo Villafuerte I shouted his full name but he still didn't look at me. I grabbed the attention of all the students in the hallway.

He suddenly stopped in front of Athena, the girl he often paired up with. Suprised is written all over Athena's face. I slowly walk as Vincent suddenly held Athena's jaw and pulled her for a kiss.

I can hear students gasp and murmurs. My eyes are attached on how they kiss each other as if there is no other person in the corridor.

My heart aches while seeing the man I love kissing someone else. I continued walking towards their direction. Some students were looking at me. I just bowed until I passed them. Hiding the tears that fell one after another.

I took a deep breath while wiping my tears when I sat down in the open field of our school.

"Why are you crying? Didn't you go shopping? It wasn't your choice to be his best friend so what else do you expect! Knowing Vincent he can't be bothered without a woman! You're not used to him always being like that! So stop Calixta! ! You love him but you don't own him!" I scolded myself for crying "It can hurt, I probably love it" I eased my feelings.

I stayed for almost 30 minutes in that field just to lighten my heart. I didn't go to the first class because I knew my eyes would close from crying.k

Chapter 2

"Alana I've been looking for you for a while" Jack greeted me when I entered the room "You'll miss me right away" I teased here "It's just an emergency" and sat next to him in the chair.

Just a normal day of discussion. The day ended with the news all over campus that Athena and Vincent were already there. My heart felt heavy every time I heard the students talk. It's always like this whenever it's news that he has a new girlfriend.

Vincent and I haven't seen each other for a few days. Every time we meet, he is always with Athena, so I prefer to stay away, especially since they are new. When he hangs out outside the room, I don't take him out. I often go with Jack to avoid talking to him.

We had just finished class when my cell phone vibrated. It was a video call coming from Vincent. I declined it right away. It vibrated again and I received a text from him.

Vincent:

C, let's talk

Me:

Sorry, kinda busy right now

Vincent:

I miss you.

My heart suddenly pounded when I read his last message. I smiled while my heart was aching.

Me: Your girlfriend will read that later and fight me again

Vincent:

You're avoiding me and I hate it C.

Me: I'm not. Just really busy

Vincent:

Come on, you're still going to lie to me. See me now, please. I'm waiting here in the parking lot.

Me: V, sorry maybe next time

Vincent:

I hate to see you so far. I hate to see you smiling and happy without me. I hate to see you with other men. I hate this feeling C.

I don't know what to reply, that's why I didn't reply to his last text.

"Alana, come with us. You've been sad for a few days. Let's just eat at KFC" Jack said to me.

Along with his invitation, my stomach rumbled.

"I'll take that as a yes" he said laughing. I just nodded and joined them.

When arriving at KFC, the queue was long and there were many people.

"Find a seat. I'll take care of your order" said Jack

"Okay chicken ha original" I instructed here before looking around and looking for a place to sit.

My eyes stopped where Vincent and Athena were sitting.

When you're lucky!

Vincent and I met our eyes. You can see the surprise in his eyes. He was about to stand up but I immediately turned around and tried to find a place to sit but there was none.

Jack and his partner have already ordered to be partners.

"That's it!" Jill said and took a seat next to Vincent.

"Let's go" said her boyfriend and quickly went to the table afraid that we might be ahead of him.

I could feel Vincent's eyes following Jack and me when Jack pulled me a chair to sit on. I smiled at Jack for his gestures.

We started eating and I was surprised because Vincent's eyes were fixed on me so I turned to him. Nothing changed in the reaction on his face when I caught him staring at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and he just did what I did. I looked at Athena who was now also looking at us. I saw the irritation on his face.

"Here, Alana. I know this is your favorite" and Jack gave me a chicken skin that made me smile.

"Awww, are you so sweet?" asked Jill

"I hope so" answered Jack and laughed some more. I elbowed him because of his answer

"No" I replied to this answer. "We're good friends"

I heard the soft laugh of Vincent upon hearing my answer so I turned to look at him. He suppresses laughter and his shoulders move because of the suppression.

I tormented him when he looked at me again. Then he just stuck his tongue out at me. My eyes widened at what he did but in the end I just laughed. I sweetly smiled at him and he returned that smile to me.

And just like that, the pain in my heart disappeared and it softened again for the man it was crying out for.

Vincent left first and when he passed behind me he lightly squeezed my shoulder. He leaned towards my ear and whispered "I miss you so bad" that made my heart so happy.

"Let's go to Timezone first" Jack said as we went out. Our companions stayed but I had no intention of staying

"C" I turned to the one who called me. Vincent was leaning against the wall and you thought he was a model because of his good looks and posture. He walked towards us.

"Let's go home" he finally said as if I had no choice but to go with him

"We have something to do before" and Jack lightly grabbed me by the elbow to get my attention who was just looking at Vincent. I looked at Jack.

"Calixta Alana" Vincent mentions my full name and I know that when he says it like this his patience is really running out I reluctantly smiled at Jack and released his hold on my arm.

"Sorry, next time Jack because I also need to do something today" when I said that, Vincent quickly pulled my hand to leave. I looked at Jack and waved goodbye to them.

When he got to the parking lot, Vincent closed the driver's seat with a bang

"Bad mood?" I said while putting the bag I was carrying on my back

"Yours? Yes" and made me wink. I laughed at him causing him to stare at me. "Where's your girlfriend?"

"Athena is not my girlfriend"

"Weh? You're a scam again. Dating as a friend. Dated as a friend" I teased here

"It's her birthday today and she asked me to celebrate it with her because she didn't have anyone with her. I was about to ask you to come with us but you didn't want to answer my video call. And I kissed her because I had a bad trip with you"

"Oh?! Does it seem like it's my fault?" I even held my chest as if imitating Bea Alonzo

"I was so d*mn jealous C. I can see you holding a rose with that bitch!"

"Is that so? When you're jealous, you're going to kiss. I wish I had kissed you when I found out you were Jack, his name is Jack, not you."

Vincent quickly turned his gaze to me with a wide smile on his face this time.

"So, you're jealous huh" he wiggled his eyebrows while smiling.

I laughed softly because of his gestures "Yeah. Don't pretend you don't know!" I hit his stomach which he quickly blocked.

He grabbed my hand and kissed it again and again.

"Why are you jealous?" he asked while planting a kiss on my other palm.

"You know I like you V. You just want to hear it"

"Like or love, C?"

I can't answer right away to his question. He squeezed my hand to convey that he was waiting for an answer from me.

I looked away at his gaze because my knees were softening at his gaze.

"Love" I said softly

"As a friend?" he caught my gaze.

My heart beats tripled. My stomach seems like it has butterflies on it. My body feels weak because of his tantalizing gray eyes. I can't contain my emotions right now. My heart is like telling me to blur it out. To just let go of my fears and doubts and finally reach the man of my dreams.

I took a deep breath and stared at Vincent "As my man"

I love you since the day I met you

Vincent's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't take his eyes off me. He gently placed my hand in his chest.

"Then let's stop this game. Let's stop pretending like we don't love each other because I can't. My heart beats your name. Let's stop hurting each other C" there were tears in his eyes

I can't help but hurt for Vincent. He is a risk taker. He is willing to gamble his feelings for me. He is ready to shout it out to anyone. I know he loves me but I am really scared....

"V, What if..."

"Let's live in the moment C. Stop with your what if's. Give us a chance and I promise to work this out. Let's stop throttling what we can be because of your what if's" he said sweetly.

I looked into his eyes. It was full of pleading. I closed my eyes and inhaled a large amount of air.

"Okay" I answered smiling at him.

His face immediately lit up.

"Okay, how are we?? Are you answering me now??"

I smiled at him and nodded.

"Finally C." He cupped my cheeks and then kissed me tenderly. It was just a quick kiss but enough to make me feel how happy he is.

"I promise not to hurt you. I promise I will present you at the altar" he promised me.

My heart is so light and happy. Finally I'm free. I'm free from keeping this emotion of mine.

Vincent was smiling throughout our way home. He simply looked at me with a smile. When stuck in traffic, he would take my hand to kiss the back of my palm He is so sweet. Now, I wonder if he is like this with his exes?

"Are you also like this with your other girls?" I have a curious question

"Of course not. I'm only like this to you because I love you"

I pursed my lips as I heard his last three words. It was natural for him to let go of those words

"You don't love your exes?"

"I'm a j*rk, C. I admit that. They want me, my physical aspects, my body, my face, but not the whole me. So, I gave that to them. I'm just being in a relationship with them to stop myself from imposing my feelings to you. I'm afraid that you might get bored with my insistence, so I'm looking for another woman that I can turn my attention to"

I was stunned by his answer

"So you mean you do casual sex with them? He scratched his eyebrow and smiled.

"Yes, but that's consensual! They agree and I tell them my reason. Every time I have a relationship I tell them that my heart belongs to someone and I can't give it to them only my body" and he smirked at me after telling it.

My eyebrows met when I heard what he said. I feel angry because he did that to other women. I know that he's a womanizer but the thought of him doing that to others seems to inflame my feelings even more.

I pulled my hand that he was holding.

"Hey, are you mad?"

"NO!" I screamed in annoyance. He laughed because of my reaction

"You asked, I answered" this short explanation made my ears ring even more.

"Do you say 'I love you' to them?"

"No. I never said it to anyone. Only you" he said softly but softly

Because of what I found out, my annoyance with him seems to have decreased.

"Ah just! You're still annoying" and just folded his arms and looked out the window.

I was surprised when he suddenly parked the car and got out. He turned around to go to my place. He opened the door and leaned to meet my gaze.

He had one hand on the top of the car and the other on the back of my seat.

"What?" I asked him irritably

He smiled before stealing a smack from me. I hit his stomach in annoyance.

"Stop being jealous. You're my girl now. You own me. No one else can hold me but you, okay?"

I just bothered him with what he said and then he stole a kiss again from me. He did it thrice!!

"What are you doing so much?" he chuckled before he pulled my nape to kiss me but this time in a long and passionate one. I held his chest as he deepened the kiss. I can feel his heartbeat. It beats as fast as mine. He kissed my lips with so much passion and love. He is biting my lower lip and then grazed it with his tongue. I can hear his moan every time I try to enter his mouth with my tongue. My hand went up from his chest to hug his neck. I pulled him closer to me.

"I ... love... you..." I mumbled between our kisses. I felt him smile as I said the words. He held a handful of my hair and tilted my head a little bit so he could deepen the kiss more. He sucks and nibs my lips like it's his favorite food. I can't stop but to respond to his kisses.

Chapter 3

"I think I found my new favorite hobby" he said breathlessly when our lips parted "kissing you" and he leaned once again to give me a smack.

"So, stop being jealous. No woman can ever tame me like this. Only you baby"

He brushed his thumb on my lower lip before he returned to his seat. It sent shivers down to my belly. I followed him with my eyes until he returned to his place. He never lost his smile on his lips and when stopped he would gently caress his lips before mischievously looking at me.

I can't help but smile at his cuteness.

He drove me home. We entered our house hand in hand.

"I bet it's a yes?" Daddy immediately opened his eyes to us when he saw us holding hands

I felt ashamed so I immediately withdrew my hand.

"Your girl is embarrassed!" Mom said

He approached us and just gave Vincent and me both a big smile. She kissed our cheeks.

"I'm happy that you finally said yes to Calixta" he said while kissing Vincent.

"Yes, aunty, the sangkaterba still needs to be made jealous before it will be yes" Vincent agreed with Mommy's joke.

"Take care of my only daughter Hugo but her cousins ​​will take care of you" Daddy threatened

"Uncle, will I date you for a few years if I end up hurting you" Vincent put his arms around me and planted a kiss on my lips.

"Yuck, the PDA"

I was surprised to see my cousins ​​coming down from the 2nd floor.

"You do it here?" I asked smiling as I approached them and hugged one by one

"Just checking on you. I heard you have a bf, it looks like we're late, you already have a bf" said Brother Primo

"Oh, fix it Vincent, if I just heard something bad, you won't be able to get close to my beautiful cousin" Brother Boaz said.

"There's a lot of chatter, I'm hungry. Aunt let's eat" Brother Pierce snapped before jokingly slapping Vincent and putting his arm around him.

Our party was fun and loud. Vincent and I have known each other ever since we were 5 years old, that's why he is super welcome in my family. I never thought that he would really let my parents and cousins ​​know how he feels about me.

I still remember when we were children. We were 5 at that time. We are playing at our school park while waiting for our service. I tripped and he helped me up. He wiped away every bit of sand that was on my knees and skirt. I first noticed her at that time her gray eyes and her thin lips with a natural red color.

"I like you" is what I said to him after he helped me. He just stared at me with a blank expression.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked me "but only here" and he pointed to his cheek.

I smiled and nodded. He slowly brought his lips to my cheek. When it was over, he turned his back on me and walked away from me.

From that moment, I know that he has stolen my heart. Since then we have been inseparable. We are always together in everything. Whether it's a contest, a fight, or a walk, he always carries me. He became my plus one.

After eating, Vincent decided to go home. I walked him to his car. Before entering, he hugged me very tightly.

"I can't believe after 10 years I said "yes" too" he said laughing. "I am living in my dreams now. I love you Calixta Alana Monteverde" he gave me a feathery kiss.

"I love you too, Vincent Hugo Villafuerte" I hugged him and my heart just felt so light and happy. Finally, I'm in the arms of the only man I love.

My heart will always be yours.

I woke up with a happy heart. My phone vibrated. I picked it up to see that Vincent wants to video call. I answered it right away.

"Good morning gorgeous" he greeted me with one eye still closed because he just woke up like me.

"Morning baby" I greeted him back

"What did you call me?" it is still sitting

His hair is disheveled while his broad shoulders and chest are exposed to the camera. I looked at him for a minute. I examined his perfect face. His thick eyebrows. His pointed nose. His perfeclty chiseled jaw that makes him manly and a bit grumpy. His tantalizing gray eyes and his not so clean haircut. I smiled.

"Baby?" I repeated and bit my lower lip.

He stopped talking and just stared at the camera before he laid down again and hid his face in the pillow. I laughed because of his reaction. He peeks through the pillow while his other face is still hiding.

"You know how to make my heart flutter" he said while grinning.

"I love you baby" I said and gave him my sweetest smile.

"I love you too, my Calixta" he groaned and then sat again on his bed "I'll pick you up today. Wait for me okay?"

"See you in an hour. I love you" and hung up the call in a hurry.

I smiled as I stared at his morning message

Good Morning, lady. I dreamed of you last night. You were running after two little babies in the shore. You were smiling all the time and calling my name. It was so beautiful and wonderful. I love you.

I do my morning routine and prepare for school. I went downstairs to have breakfast only to see that Vincent was already downstairs eating with my parents and cousins.

"You're ahead of the son, huh" I said jokingly and kissed him on his cheek.

When I lift my eyes, everyone is looking at us.

"What?" I asked and then they just mockingly smiled at me. I looked at Vincent and he mouthed "I love you" that made my heart thump so loud.

We ate our breakfast and then headed to our school. Vincent dropped me off at the catwalk and he parked his car in the parking lot while I waited for him in the waiting shed.

"Calixta, someone is delivering" said my classmate. It was a letter and a stem of tulip.

I accepted that. I saw a group of men looking as if they were waiting for what I would do. I opened the letter.

Dear Calixta,

You are really beautiful even though you are far away. I've liked you for a long time but I don't have the courage to approach you so I just look at you wildly but now I want to be brave enough to come...

I didn't finish reading the letter because someone snatched it from me. Vincent's eyebrows meet while reading the letter that was given to me. He smiled mockingly until he finished reading. He looked around and stopped at the group of men looking at us. He crumpled the paper and threw it in the trashbin.

I was surprised by what he did and hit his arm.

"What are you doing! I haven't even read the whole thing yet!" I turned around to pick up the letter he threw but he stopped me.

He grabbed my waist and immediately captured my lips. My eyes widened at what he did because we are here on the catwalk where every student can see what he is doing. His eyes are closed while his lips are against mine.

He pulled away from me with a triumphant smile.

"They have to know that you're mine" he whispered in my ear. He grabbed my hand and entwined our fingers. I could feel the looks of every person we passed. I bowed down because of shame but this Vincent still looked happy. He removed our entwined hands and placed them on my waist.

My god! This man knows how to make a show!! It's sure to spread throughout the school. Are you the kiss of a Vincent Hugo Villafuerte!

"I'll pick you up here in your room. Don't go out without me and later someone will deliver a letter to you and don't accept flowers" he told me.

I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from grinning.

"Yes boss" and pretended to salute him

"I like what you called me earlier" and then he looked away from me as if embarrassed. He even scratched behind his ear.

I can't stop smiling.

"Yes baby"

His face lit up when he heard from me. I planted a kiss on his lips and ran into the room while he was left outside standing and looking at me as if surprised by what I did last time.

Me You're not the only one who knows how to steal a kiss

I texted him and he replied in less than a minute

Vincent:

Yeah, you just got ahead of me. You really know how to make my day brighter.

I put my cellphone in my bag because the prof had already entered. we. There was nothing special about that day because it was just a normal day. The class ended with just discussion.

When I got home I gathered my things. My phone vibrated so I looked to see who was texting

Vincent:

I'm outside your room.

I hurried to arrange my things and was excited to go out but I was stunned when I saw a big bouquet of roses with tulips on it that Vincent was carrying and he also had my favorite chocolates in a bouquet style.

I couldn't move immediately because of the shock. I felt my eyes water because of the pity I felt. My heart was beating so hard. I never thought that my heart could beat so hard.

"Are you going to take it or just look at it? It's a bit heavy baby" he complained which made me laugh.

I approached him. I cupped his cheeks and planted three soft little kisses on his lips, not caring if we had the full attention of the entire business department. My tears fell spontaneously as I took the two bouquets, a bouquet of roses with tulips and a bouquet of chocolates.

"Do not you like?" Vincent asked confused and sad while wiping the tears that ran down my cheeks.

I shook my head and looked into his eyes "I love it. Sobra" he smiled at me and planted a kiss on my forehead before he took me by the hand and took me away from the crowd of people looking at us.

He took me in his car. The ones he gave me are in the back.

"I didn't know you have a romantic side" I jokingly told him

"How do you know that you didn't want to try me before" he said arrogantly.

I looked at the road we were taking, it was not familiar to me

"Where are we going?"

"Just wait and see. I've already said goodbye to your Mommy and Daddy. I'll bring you home before midnight"

"okay"

He opened the radio of his car. We were in sync with the beat of every tune we heard until the tune became solemn.

The song and its rhythm are beautiful. The former is sleepy. I closed my eyes to savor its message.

I felt one of Vincent's hands reach out to take my other hand while his other hand was left on the steering wheel of the car. He kissed my hand before singing along to the chorus of the song.

Cause I wanna love you for good

For good or for bad

When times get sad

And when we fight

And I wanna love you for good

For good or for bad

When you make me mad

'Cause you're the love of my life

So take my hand

I wanna grow old with you beside me

Vincent Hugo has the most beautiful voice you can ever hear. He looked at me in the eyes while singing the chorus part. There is no joy in my heart. This time I can say, I made the right decision to let my feelings for him go free.
