"This is silly, Marc. Absolutely insane. What stupid person would do this? I don't even know if you'll come back, when you come back to Shanghai. We're not in a relationship. Shit, I shouldn't be like high school girl."

Marc Junior laughed, his eyes twinkling, "You're twenty years old Hershey."

"Yeah, so? I'll be twenty one in November. I'm old enough not to be making these mistakes."

"What a mistake?" Marc Junior caught it, a pained expression in his eyes.

Hershey put her hands to his face, sighed and then lowered them, her expression sad. "I'm not saying you're a mistake Marc. I just don't want to do something I'll live to regret."

Marc held her hand to his face, "So, you think you'll regret this?"

"Yes, it's too early, I'll regret it." She whispered.

Marc Junior looked into her eyes again and said, "Why?"

"Because, we're not together anymore. We're not in a committed relationship."

"Who said we wouldn't be, Hershey?"

"Well, we can't. You're going to Shanghai in a few week

    Birds chirped at the open window, while a gentle breeze ruffled the curtains. Marc Junior sat there with Hershey sleeping in his arms. He smiled and thought he looked like her in high-school. The way her body seemed to curl around him, like a cat. He brushed some of her hair from her forehead, only to see her closed lids and relaxed mouth as she slept peacefully. He couldn't understand how he didn't snore. How his body seemed to move together in unison whenever she slept. His eyes dropped to her chest as he watched her take a deep breath and then exhale. Her chest rises and falls with every move she makes. Reaching out, he slid his thumb and forefinger over her and took the small bud in his fingers. When he did, he let the gentle movement of her chest slide over his fingers. The bud immediately shriveled. Marc Junior sighed as he twirled his thumb around until it tightened around his finger. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his entire life. Leaving her chest alone, he ran h

    Marco Junior felt a pain in his heart that was not like before. It came down on him in that moment like a tidal wave crushing the smallest of sea creatures. Grabbing Hershey's shoulders, he spun her around her, pulling her into his arms. Reigning kisses all over her head, cheeks and face, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Chocolate. I'm so sorry." She felt his wrap around her tightly, her body shaking with sobs, releasing everything she'd been hiding for the past two years. Dear diary, I'm crying a lot now. Harder than ever in the last two years. I thought I was done with those tears, but not yet. I saved them before. Ironically enough, because I hadn't seen him in two years, I felt closer to him than the last time we were together. I'm glad I had the chance to do that, because she's so sweet. He held me and apologized the whole time. When I finally stopped crying, we talked about why I was crying and then we talked about the house and why I kept it so clean. Things like that. By the time

    "Well, I like your present." Tyler laughed, "No, you have the man." Hershey laughed to herself. "Why did you say that?" This is what solidified their relationship with Tyler for the first time. He always seems to know what to say and when to say it and for some reason, make it work.Tyler sighed, his eyes connecting with hers, telling her something from his heart, "Because Hershey, despite the many times you and Marco Junior were on and off with each other, your love and chemistry remained intact. The excitement that you two shared in the earlier years of your relationship will always be there." Hershey sighed, "Not always Tyler. When his mother died, he became unbearable." "Yet you stayed with him Hershey." "I'm gone, Tyler. It was during those times when he needed me the most." Tyler sighed, "Sweety, you left because you were hurt by the alcohol abuse. Not because you didn't want to be there. I mean think about it, you could have had an abortion and left NYU in the fall, but you

    "Does everything always surprise you?" She smiled flirtatiously. "As for you, yes." Hershey raised an eyebrow, "What are you trying to say?" Marc Junior shook his head, "You're nosey." "Not nosey, just inquisitive." She corrected. Marc Junior laughed, "No, sugar, inquiring is when you ask to gain a better understanding." "Nosey, is when you ask things that are just out of your mind-things that really have nothing to do with you." Hershey stood up from her chair, hands on her hips, both eyebrows raised, ready for war. "How is it not appropriate for me to have dessert when you invite me here?" Marc Junior walked up to her, stopping a few inches in front of her face, his eyes shining. He really turned her on. "Because, I clearly said that it was a surprise. Everything I'm going to do for you tonight is a surprise." Hershey's lips pout. "Why is there a need for a surprise?" Marc Junior smiled. She's really cute like this. He likes it when she's mad. She really thought they were f

    His eyes twinkled as he looked at the camera, "What do you want?" He asked in a thick Visayan accent. Hershey felt his heart drop in his chest, overcome with emotions he couldn't quite put into words. The girl behind the camera giggled, "Danielle says that you and her are going to be together forever, and you're not going to leave her?" Hershey watched, silent, as Marco Fernando Sr. on the monitor stood in the middle of the group, his frame, tall but muscular, similar to Marco Junior's and the hair that made him stand out from the rest of men. Her hair hung over her shoulders. But when his gaze landed on Danielle standing at least twenty feet away from him, his eyes darkened to a rich forest color. Hershey was almost shocked by the passion he saw in them. Marco laughed and approached Danielle. Taking her in his arms, he said, "She's right. I love this woman in my life."Deborah, the camera girl sighed and said, "Danielle you are so lucky girl." Danielle smiled, her complexion dark o

    Still Loved Marco Junior felt his heart beat faster when he heard her enter his room, her soft footsteps on the carpet. He removed the covering from his body and sat up straight. Hershey stopped in front of him and stood there. He looked up at her. "What are you doing?" He whispered. Hershey swallowed the anxiety that gathered in her heart and sighed. "I apologize." "What for?" Marco whispered. "For being a worthless mother to our son Jeromy." Hershey whispered. Marco Junior saw tears rolling down her cheeks. He sighed and held her hands. He stood up, wrapping his arms around her shoulders, pulling her close to him. "Hey, it's okay Chocolate. I forgave you for that a long time ago." Hershey swallowed the lump in her throat, "I know, but looking at your parents, I can't help but wonder what the hell was wrong with me." For some unknown reason, this struck Marco Junior as funny. He let out a snicker, "We all had issues in high-school Hershey. Part of being a teenager is having r

    Zenaida hands me a black lace bodice. I start to get myself into it and Zenaida turns me around to fasten the row of hooks and eyes trailing up the back. I'm distracted by my hesitancy by the thought of Marco's face and all this lace. I smile. He'll orgasm on the spot. I'm helped into the gown by Zenaida and presented to the oversized mirror. 'Holy shit!' she exclaims and then slaps her hand over her mouth. 'I'm sorry. That was so unprofessional of me.' Holy shit, indeed. I turn slightly to view the back and gasp a little. It clings to every curve I have perfectly and skims the floor when I raise on tiptoes. The lining under the lace is matt, giving the delicate, intricate pattern a shimmery effect, and the deep neckline is perfect with the cap sleeves sitting just off my shoulders, revealing my collarbones. I hear Zenaida scuttle off and return. She kneels before me. 'Put these on.' she instructs. I pull my eyes from the mirror and look down to find a pair of black, sling-back Dior

    I collapsed on the sofa when I got home. I need an early night. Tomorrow is a long day in Country Hills and I need to get in shape. My phone is ringing. I rolled my eyes as I looked at the screen, but it wasn't what I expected. This is Tom. I growled to myself. When will my phone ring and it's someone I really want to talk to?'Hi,' I moaned. 'Okay?' he greeted, with his usual confident tone.'Yes, and you?' I knew he was fine. I heard that he was out almost every night, making up for a lost time. Not that our relationship stopped him from living exactly what he wanted.'Everything is fine. I rang to greet you tomorrow. It's tomorrow, right?' I was surprised when he remembered. He didn't really have an interest in my career.'Yes, thank you. I was just thinking of getting an early night.' 'Okay, I won't keep you,' he seemed disappointed. 'I've boxed up your other stuff.''Oh, right,' 'There's no rush,' he added. 'If you're free sometimes, it's better to chase.'Do you like it? Catc

    I thought quickly. 'My car has new brakes. I forgot to remove my house key.'She accepted my excuse without further question. 'There's a spare door key in the pot by the kitchen window.' He ran back up the stairs and I followed, quickly opening a bottle of wine before rummaging through the fridge for something to eat. No one takes my wish. Wine will do. 'Yes, please.' Pearl came back into the kitchen. She's already jimmy-jammed up, and I can't wait to join her. I pour her a glass while trying to morph my face into anything other than the shocked expression that I know is still visible.'I'm going to change and call Mama,' I turned around, carrying my wine. 'I'll meet you on the sofa soon.' 'Cold,' I really need to talk to Mom. Pearl is my best friend, but you can't beat your Mom when you want comfort. Not that I can tell her why I need comfort.

    Stunned, I grabbed my clothes off the floor before running into the bathroom, closing the door behind me and flipping the lock. I leaned against the back of the door, almost naked, trying to control my ragged breathing. I looked up at the ceiling to stop my tears from falling. I am very disappointed in myself.I think I hear the sound of muffled voices coming from the room, and I try to steady my breathing so I can hear what's going on. But, nothing. No noise, no talking...nothing. Damn me for being half naked so I can't escape. Instead, I fled to the bathroom, hiding like a desperate tart. I am not comfortable with these feelings. I'm really ashamed of myself. I have been cheated on many times, and I have destroyed all the women who interfered in my relationships. Over many bottles of wine, I have condemned them, badmouthed them, and asked them for truly merciless vengeance. Now, I am one of them. I groaned, hitting the heel of my hand on my forehead.

    He remained silent while I looked at him in shock, waiting for an explanation. I didn't get anything, except his intense green eyes staring at me from the other room. I felt like I was under a microscope, and that glass of wine was spinning in my stomach, twisting and turning as I moved nervously on my heels.'Is this some kind of joke?' I half laugh. I'm still waiting for clarity, but it won't come. I try to ignore the mass of beautiful people and frantically search my brain for guidance or instruction. It is useless. I'm not blind I'll happily volunteer that I've imagined his chest, more than once, and it's beyond even my highest imaginations and expectations. This man is beyond perfect. What will I do?He just stood there, head slightly bowed, staring at me through his long eyelashes. His eyes were piercing me, his mouth, and I could see the rise and fall of his incredible chest. There is some serious meaning; not too big, just clean...cut... perfection. If he's wrecking fully clot

    'Soon.' he whispered. It is a promise. He let go of my stiff thigh and got up. 'Nice to meet you, Pearl.''Hmmm, you too.' she answered thoughtfully.He stepped towards the back of the bar. Good God, he walks with purpose and it's sexy as hell. I closed my eyes to collect my mind, which was currently scattered all over the bar floor. It is absolutely hopeless. I turned to Pearl, finding the accusatory bright blue staring at me as fangs had sprouted.Her eyebrows hit her hairline. 'Fuck me, that was intense!' she spat on the table.'Was it?' I start pushing my sandwich around my plate.'You better stop with the blah-fucking-zay shit now, or I'll shove this fork so far up your ass, you'll be chewing metal. What question are you thinking?'

    I turned to Herman's office to ask if he had notified Mr. Montero of the change in arrangements, but then it rang again, stopping me in my tracks. I sighed and connected the call. If Herman hadn't advised him, I would have. And if it doesn't fit, it's bad luck. I was making a mess of convincing myself that I passed on the contract because Herman was better suited for the project. I know damn well that's only half the reason'Hello.' I say, stamping my foot a little for sounding apprehensive in my greeting. I aimed for sure and confident.Shaira Rose?' His husky voice had the same effect on my fragile senses as it had on Friday. But at least on the phone, he doesn't see me physically shaking.'Who is speaking?' There. That's better - professional, businesslike, and firm. He laughed a little, and I completely passed out. 'Now, I know you already know the answer to that question because my name came up on your phone,' I cringed on the spot. 'Trying to play it cool?' Oh, the proud ass! H
