Avaricious Hearts

Marron Ninel Vergara

"You're spacing out" Lexus raised a brow on me

I blinked my eyes. "I'm sorry" I said as I resumed what I am doing with my laptop.

I tried my best but I can't resist the temptation. I threw another glance on him.

He's perfect. Manly, in every inch of him. He can draw attention by simply walking on a room.

But behind the regal and respectable image of him, hides a demon I once unleashed. He told me that I am the sin he's willing to burn in hell for. And I want to burn in hell with him.

But I know where I stand. 

We're just players. And we're playing the dangerous game of fire. 

We're no more than friends. And I am aware that someone like me doesn't suit him. Aside from being a Vergara, I am no one. 

I should slap myself hard. And I must awake from the trance drawing me closer to the edge of my sanity. I don't want to jump. I can't jump and fall in love. Not with him.

I can commit a hundred sins with him, for him. But I can't take a single blow of rejection from him. 

He's my first everything. But he shouldn't be the only one.

Because I know that I was nothing to him, but a friend. 

I can't love him. No.
