" Hey, nerdy! Wait up!" Tinawag ko ang kaklase kong si Tristan, ang gwapong nerd boy next door kong kapitbahay. We have been classmates since kindergarten at magkapitbahay since nasa sinapupunan pa ng mga nanay namin. Mahiyain ito noon at patpatin kaya laging nabubully. Minsan isa ako sa nambubully sa kanya pero most of the time, ako ang nagtatanggol sa kanya. " Ano na naman kailangan mo, Maxine?" Bored na tanong nito habang patuloy na naglalakad. Nasa grade six na kami at next year high school na sa wakas. " Pahiram ng assignment sa Math h? Alam mo namang mahina ako pagdating sa numbers eh." Inakbayan ko siya habang naglalakad. Pilit nitong iwinaksi ang braso ko pero mahigpit ko siyang hawak. Mas matangkad ako sa kanya, siguro late bloomer ito. Suot-suot niya pa rin ang malaki niyang salamin na halos kainin na ang buong mukha niya. " Ewan ko sayo Maxine, good luck nalang kung makakagradute ka this year. Bibigay ko sayo mamaya pagkatapos kong gawin sa bahay." Sagot nito at mabilis na naglakad. " Sige akyat ako ulit sa bintana mo mamaya! Wag mong ilock ha? Kundi babasagin ko salamin ng bintana mo!" Pahabol na sigaw ko sa kanya. Habol habol ko nang tanaw ang patpating lalaki. Hindi naman talaga ako bobo eh, gusto ko lang talaga magkaron ng dahilan para makasama siya. Kahit nerdy looking kasi ito, napaka cute at gwapo pa rin nito. Lalo na pag ngumingiti siya, labas ang dimples sa magkabilang pisngi. Kaya nong mga malilit pa kami, I made it my mission na ipagtanggol siya sa mga bullies. I am known as the mean bitch ng school namin. I had to be, for him.

Stacy Morgan is an ambitious, driven, and very seductive woman. She gets what she wants by all means possible. Right now, she wants Luke Davies, the elusive world-renowned bachelor chef/CEO of Luke’s Kitchen TV series and owner of Chef’s Delight Restaurant. As the star journalist of Metro Magazine, Stacy took the assignment to interview the elusive Bachelor, Luke Davies, her most challenging project ever. " Stacy, I have a proposition for you. You don't have to answer now, but I hope you will say yes." He said seriously, staring straight at me. I raised my brows, intrigued about the proposition. " What is it?" I asked. " Let's be clear first before I tell you, my proposal. I am attracted to you, and I know that you are attracted to me too, or you wouldn't have accepted my invitation and dressed up like this." He stated. I blushed a little. He is half right. I am attracted to him big time, but part of it is because I wanted to know the real Luke Davies to use for my article. " Your silence means I am right. Now my proposition is this. I want to know you better and want you in my bed asap." He continued, and to say I am shocked by his last statement is an understatement. I felt hot all of a sudden. " But before I let you in my world and bring you to my bed. I want you to sign a nondisclosure agreement. Whatever you discover about my private life stays within the four corners of my house. Nothing should leak out, and no one should know. I want you, and I want to know you more. would you give this attraction a try?" He finished, and I stayed quiet. What will I say? Should I give it a try and fuck the warning signs? If I sign that agreement, it will mean I can kiss my promotion goodbye. But Luke is right. I am attracted to him but am I ready for another relationship? I haven't been with a man for over seven years since that horrible day. I looked at Luke and stared at his questioning eyes. " Can I think about it? I haven't received a proposal like this before. You surprised me with it. I am not sure I am ready to share my private life with you as well. " I told him truthfully. It is sudden, and I have to weigh my options here. It's like choosing between your dream and ambition. " Sure, babe. But I hope you wouldn't make me wait. I do want you, so bad, and I'm this close to losing control." He made a sign with his fingers. I bit my lip and grimaced. " Especially when you do that. You are killing me with that lip biting, baby." He groaned, and I chuckled. " Is one week enough for you to decide? Let me know right away once you've decided, and I'll be at your doorstep in a flash." He said and grinned. " Okay, one week. Give me one week to think it over." I agreed and smiled. He nodded and raised his glass in confirmation. Now, what should I do? My career or my traitor body? Luke is looking so hot that I want to jump his bones. But I am scared. I am scared to trust and love again.

I followed the voice, but the darkness made it impossible to see where I am going. " Follow my voice. Find me. Set me free." Said the voice again. Then, I saw it!
