The Glimpse of My Past

Diane’s P. O. V.

Liam drove me to Quego del Mar Public University after lunch. Our parking lot was a huge and ceiled quadrangle with benches and food vending machines. Our university was public, yet, aside from the swimming pool, it was also the main feature that we were surely proud of.

After Liam parked at the corner, everyone who used to hang around in the parking lot just stopped doing their businesses and stared at his white Lexus car. Curiosity was screaming on their faces, and I ended up rolling my eyes in an instant.

If only they knew how Liam used to change his car as often as he changed his clothes, they would be amazed even more. With different brands and latest models, no one could beat him with his car collection.

“So, you are studying here…” Liam commented.

“Hmm, yes. Why?” I asked him.

“Nothing. Do you know that opposite university-the Quego del Mar Exclusive School for Business and Finance?” He pointed out the direction where the said school was located, and I nodded.

“That was where I went to college. I probably graduated before you stepped into freshman. What a waste of time! We didn’t even meet, and it makes me think that I should have studied a little bit late,” Liam replied.

“Ah, so you’re already rich prior to becoming a businessman. Only the rich had the capability to study there. Actually, some students there were my clients too-oh, but not in the club, huh?” I cautiously waved my hands in front of him. “I mean, I am doing their assignments or projects for a fee. That’s my sideline here,” I chuckled.

“Haven’t I told you that I’m so proud of you for doing everything that you can for the sake of your family? Don’t worry, sweetie. From now on, you will always have me, and I promise to help you in every way that I can. Hmm, I might be already rich way back then… but in my case, I’ll study here instead if that’s the shortest way to meet you,” Liam professed as he tucked in some of my loose hair strands at the back of my left ear.

Then, he looked through his lashes before playfully poking my nose. What he said literally sent shivers down my spine, and what he did made me slowly close my eyes. I was almost thrilled because I felt a sudden call of nature. I guessed that I would have to pee after this because of the sudden exhilarating feeling that conquered my whole body, defeating my sane mind.

“Don’t close your eyes like that, Diane. It looks like you’re inviting me to kiss you, and this is not the proper place for me to do that,” Liam warned.

That prompted me to open my eyes and tease him. “You really can’t resist my charms, don’t you?” I even batted my long eyelashes.

Now that Liam was already my boyfriend, I would say everything I wanted to tell him without any hesitation. I would be honest with every little thing, and I would never be ashamed at all. There was no turning back now, although my boyfriend was a famous businessman.

He brushed his hair up, making him even more handsome. “I couldn’t resist it. Well, there’s a lot of people outside. It feels better to devour that luscious lips of yours when we were only the two of us. I’m quite selfish, you know. I didn’t want anybody to watch my moves.”

Seeing his heart-melting dimple again on his right cheek already made my day. His radiant smiles were almost reaching his ears. I couldn’t help myself and use my left hand to caress his right cheek. I couldn’t believe that he was mine already. He held my wrist tightly, brushed his cheek against my skin, and tenderly kissed my hand while not averting his gaze towards me.

“I’m so blessed to have you, and I’ll do anything to make you happy. Wait here. I’ll be fast,” Liam said before he got out of the car to open the door for me. My eyes never left him.

He was only wearing a simple black polo shirt matched with rugged denim pants, but his sex appeal was still oozing. His formal business attire, protected by a transparent suit cover, was hanged in the backseat.

Perhaps, he would wear it later when he arrived at the office. Throughout, his posture screamed pleasing personality and irresistible confidence. Added to his gorgeous and muscular body built was his height exceeding six feet. Fortunately, I could still wear my heels while being with him.

When I removed myself from the passenger seat and Liam gentlemanly assisted me out of his car, I saw that almost all women hanging out in the parking lot looked at him and I could immediately read the intense admiration in their eyes. I couldn’t help but arch my eyebrow at them, which I only did for the first time.

There was even one guy who kicked his, I supposed, girlfriend’s head because her jaws literally dropped off the floor after seeing my stunning boyfriend. It looked like the two would even engage in a fight.

“Oh, who is he?”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“He’s so handsome, huh? Wow!”

“No, handsome is an understatement. He’s yummy!”

“He’s a rich businessman for sure!”

“Are you, guys, even watching the news?”

“Yeah, right! He’s that famous Liam Arthur. She’s so lucky!”

“But how and where did she meet him?”

“I know right, she’s not even rich!”

“No way, but I envied her!”

Those words filled my ears, and God knew the rest. I wasn’t easily jealous over anything, but why was I getting infuriated by now? It looked like anytime soon, the fierce tigress inside me would come out.

It was as if I wanted to suddenly pull the hairs and strangle the necks of these bitches. They were blatantly drooling at my boyfriend in a way that they were undressing him, and they didn’t even want to leave something for me!

Wow, my boyfriend! It feels so good. Yes, Liam is my boyfriend, so I’m sorry, girls! Back off now because he was already taken. The thought made me raise my head in pride as I smiled slyly.

And what makes you, guys, think that I will let go of him? Duh, suit yourselves with slavering for all I care! Liam will be mine forever anyway.

“I’ll pick you up at exactly five-thirty,” Liam whispered at my left ear as he pulled me on my slender waist.

When we were in the house earlier, I told him that my class for today would be until five-thirty in the afternoon. I also gave him my weekly schedule, and it looked like he already memorized it. He was true to his words of giving me a part-time job in EGC. 

He mentioned that he would only be working in the office for half-day. Since he finished everything yesterday, what was left was file sorting and personally checking his meetings for the whole week. It also includes talking to the human resource and finance teams for any open position suitable for me.

“You’ve got to study hard, okay? But no matter what, remember that I will always be proud of you. I love you, Diane…” he avowed, and before I could even react, he was quick enough to pull me closer and brush his lips on mine.

Oh, I thought he didn’t want people to watch his moves?

It was only a smack kiss, but it appeared like my body was suddenly placed on a high voltage. However, since people were looking, murmuring, and gossiping about what was the real score between the two of us here, it felt like a normal kiss between lovers suddenly became a big deal.

Perhaps, some of the guys here were my previous suitors. I didn’t know. Maybe, I already forgot about their faces and how they looked. Everything felt surreal now, but it was all happening in reality with Liam.

Then, stirring warmth abruptly occupied my cheeks, staining them in the process. I couldn’t help but feel stunning and invincible about what Liam did. It made me feel like surpassing even the most beautiful actress or the number one sexiest model in the Philippines.

“I love you too,” I replied while forming a genuine smile on my lips with my round brown eyes glinting with pleasure. I even curved my lips and somewhat licked Liam’s taste on them.

It seemed like my hair grew long until the ends reached the opposite school. I guessed that I could even match Denise’s favorite character, who used to live in a dark tower without stairs at all.

Using his right fingers, Liam even passionately touched my cheek before releasing me from his left arm and settling back inside his car. His touch tingled my innermost veins, and it emerged fire within me. He even waved at me before he drove out of the parking lot.

“Okay, cut! The scene for today’s movie shoot is over! You, guys, should move the hell out of here to prevent stroke, okay? We will resume tomorrow. I know that all of you will come back again because you were dying to know the progress between the two main leads, bye!” A loud voice suddenly roared in the parking lot, awakening the people around, including me.
