CHAPTER 1

SIX in the morning.

The chirping of the birds can faintly be heard from inside the room owned by the famous actor.

Who wouldn't know him?

Tall, dark and handsome can describe how perfect he is. But no one realize, that the perfect guy under the fake visage also felt pain inside his heart. No one can figure it out. Simply because he can easily make off a facade hiding his emotion, by his acting.

Five years.

It's precisely five years since then. Since his heart wrecked painfully.He has that one best friend before in his life, who helped him,cared for him and supported him like a lover would do. Sadly, after his so-called best friend met a guy who swept her feet off of the ground, everything changed.

No talk.

No late night walk.

No texting.

More fights.

It is surely frustrating.

He wasn't sure before if the feeling inside him was strong enough to the point that he can confess. So, he decided to hide it. Even if it kills him.

Mellisa met this guy.

Pale, average height and has this beautiful eye smile.

Andriusㅡhimself knows he can't produce the same eye smile to Mellisa, that the latter adores a lot. Till she left without a farewellㅡ She left a broken guy that can't be fixed.

Only Jerico, his loyal friend put up with care of him every single night. Nights that he wanted to cry, the nights that he desires to end his life.

Therefore, when those times came, focus on his studies, shoves himself to become better ㅡno, to be outstanding and one of a kind in acting. To the point that his University introduces him to a nice entertainment company. He did well, he made himself a name that surely, each person would know if they heard the name Andrius Ranz Stanford, they would praise him.

And the name Melissa Rage? It's long forgotten.

He grabs one and a half hours inside the shower, maybe he's too deep. Thinking if ever Melissa and him would ever cross each path. He doesn't think he is ready for that. After taking a few steps afterwards, standing in front of the mirror. Staring at his own reflection who produces nothing but emptiness.

"Mel. It's been five years. Where are you?"He thought to himself, as he caresses his cheeks.

He keeps on staring blankly as if he provokes emotions, but no. Not until the ringing phone startled him, he sought heavily. Hand reaches for the device and settles it in his right ear. "Hello?Andrius deeped raspy voice coated the comfort room.

Hello, Ranz.A seductive voice speaks from the other line. He smirks, biting his lower lip. Do you miss me?The latter added.

Of course Jem, I miss everything about you.He answered with his powerful tone, which includes deep and raspy echoed tone. How are you? Do you want me to come over?

The giggle from the other line makes him smile, did he move on ㅡor he thinks?

Sure, I will cook everything you want. How about watching a movie then cuddle?The latter offers that he can't reject. He doesn't have a cold heart.

Sounds like a plan. Sure thing, Jem.He answered shortly, smiles tugging from his lips when he listened to that soft chuckles. Jem, I'll just wear some clothes and go there.He teases.

You idiot!The other spat and chuckles again. You can just wear nothing, cos you're taking off it later."The latter speaks again, "If you know what I mean?"

Jemiaiah, stop teasing me, alright. I will be quick. Bye.

I love you, Ranz.

...Love you, Jem.

He turned off his phone, continued his commitment. He dried himself and wore comfortable clothes. After that he wore sunglasses and a face mask to hide his identity.

Closing his condo unit fastly, sauntering to the elevator, he gets on the parking lot for his car. After that he then started the engine to see his beloved Sweetheart.

Once he reaches the place, Jemiaiah yanks him inside the room and positions herself on top. Kissing him hungrily while roaming her bare hands inside Andrius shirt to touch the defined tone chest. Andrius is confident with this. He smirked widely and sucked Jemiaiah lower lips and bits roughly, Her tongue asking for entrance. "Hmm-mm."Hearing soft moans as his hand grip the other waist.

Teeth clashing and tongue sucking was the only sound except from the air condition.

Andrius quickly shifts their position and wanders on top of her to take off her clothes. He tosses it out of nowhere and commenced sucking the supple buds that made Jem wailing in pleasure. "Ranz, please."She helplessly pleas.

Jemiaiah hands yank Andrius hair, while Andrius busy, biting her nips using his clenching teeth. "Finish."Andrius then said and took his clothes to wear.

"What the ㅡno way."Jemiaiah exasperatedly said. "You're not planning on leaving me with a thirsty!"

"It's your prob, Jem. You teased me on the phone and that's your punishment."Andrius laughed hard and nuzzled his nose on the latters neck. Jemiaiah scoffed loudly and just hugged the brunette in return.

"Whatever, let go off of me. I'll cook. Just go watch something or jerk off ㅡwhatever you want."Andrius shows his rectangular shapes, smile and puts on a peck of kiss to the woman. "Don't you have any schedule?"

"None, i fixed my schedule to have some quality time with you."Jemiaiah redden with a tint of crimson pink and vacates the latter to hide her embarrassment.

While Andrius is unaided again, He recalled something.

A promise to himself that when he finally found someone who can love him like how much he loved Melissa before, he will give everything and anything.

Promise to give it a chance to love again. Even though it can't strive to be his love for the raven haired girl.

He won't hurt Jemiaiah feelings, He won't hurt her.

He vowed.

After his Girlfriend simmered something, they ate happily and stared at the movie while cuddling on the couch. Jemiaiah feeds him ice cream while Andrius performs the same. After they finished the movie. Jemiaiah decided to invite Andrius to stay but Andrius refuses recalling, he got plans tomorrow morning.

Jemiaiah kissed her and led her outside before they bid a goodbye.

While Andrius's striding and heading off to his unit he saw something ㅡno someone standing outside his condo. Step by step he felt uneasy and hurt thriving inside his heart.

The raven haired girl with a big stomach, of a child crying and holding a bag of things. "Ranz."

"Melissa."
