VALENTINA RODRIGUEZ POV

We've been watching Tv for hours when suddenly I felt his warm lips on my forehead. I look up at him and smile. He smiles back at me. A genuine one. How do I explain this relationship that we have?

We felt it, but I think we both don't want to admit it. Not yet.

Every time we run, we came back to each other like a magnet. The attraction was unbreakable. We ignore and deny it every time someone asked if we liked each other.

But we can't help it when we were alone. Our heart yearns for each other. When Kayden and I were still together, keeping our distance is a little easy.

I still can control my desire to jump on him. It sounds like I'm cheating on my boyfriend. Yeah?

We pull a fight, cursed, accused, and anything that hurt us. We were trying to make us hate each other. That keeps us away from each other.

But, since I've got over Kayden, we grow close much to my dislike. Living in the same roof is not helping. Why? I felt dirty to myself. I've just gotten over my boyfriend. Now, I'm in another man's arm and that too, without a label. I hate myself for that. I can't help but feel bad.

But then, Kayden had found another woman. No. Not any woman. But, he already had his fiance behind my back.

I felt like a fool, not knowing this. I had loved that asshole with all my might. Yet, he already had someone to complete his life with.

"Princess," he said, taking me off of my thoughts.

"Hmm? "

"I'm sorry, "

"It's okay. I think I overreacted. It was the irony, after all. I hated liars despite me being a liar myself," I stated.

It was true, though. I hated liars, and I lied to my parents and friends about me being in a gang and that I had been killing people.

The guilt of lying was just too much to bear. Maybe, that's why I hated liars. I don't want them to feel the same guilt that I feel. If they even felt it.

"You're a bit distracted that day. You know I care for you just like the other guys. I can't send you into a mission in that state you're in. I'm-uh- the guys are afraid they'll lose you,"

I rolled my eyes. Noticing that he almost slipped up that he's afraid he'll lose me.

"I understand, " I smile at him.

"Will you come back..home? "

I sigh.

"This is my home, Keith," I look down at the floor.

"I know..Then, will you come back to my house, our gang house, for me, please? "

He raises my chin to look at him.

The others must have gone mad at him for making me leave. They'll not hesitate to make him suffer more if I don't come back. As much as I liked the idea of him suffering a bit, I miss the guys.

"In one condition, "

He raises an eyebrow.

"Promise me that you won't tell anyone about this house, "

"I promise. But, I don't know if Nancy will, "

I perk up at her name.

Dang! Nancy must've been following me yesterday.

"Tell her not to tell anyone, " I narrow my eyes at him.

"But -" I cut him off by standing up and sat on the other couch and folding my arms on my chest.
