One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 153: The Broken Vase

~~~You're the reason I believe in love and you're the answer to my prayers from up above. All we need is just the two of us. From this moment, life has begun. From this moment, you are the one. Right beside you is where I belong, from this moment on. From this moment, I have been blessed. I live only for your happiness and for your love, I'd give my last breath from this moment on.~~~ -From This Moment On (Shania Twain)-

"Oh, no!" I uttered in shock as I stared at him.

"Who is that?" Luke asked as he glanced at the round wall clock in the living room. "It's almost midnight!" He added, boredom and disappointment were clearly heard in his voice before sinking his head into the crook of my neck. "Samantha, open the door! Are you okay, girl?"

"It's Hailey, my neighbor, I mean, our neighbor. She's occupying the room to my left."

"Sam, oh, my God!"

"Don't get up, just ignore her!" He whispered as he began to pepper small kisses behind my ear.

"Luke, I have to get up and talk to her... "I paused as I bit my lower lip to swallow back the moan that wanted to escape my throat. "Or else she's going to call the Landlord,"

I waited for him to answer and when I heard him sigh, a grin curled up against my lips.

"Sam, are you there?"

I can hear the frustration in her voice, so I had to urge Luke to get up.

"Come on, Luke, I have to talk to her."

"Haist! Fine!" He stood up, looking at the door.

"Wait, wait, she can't see you here!" My eyes suddenly went wide when I remembered what Hailey said a few days ago. She has a crush on our new neighbor. "What? But why?" He asked me, confused.

"Uhm... I'll just explain it to you later, but for now you have to hide because I swear, she can't see you here!"

I started to panic as I think of where I could hide him until...

"Come here!" I took his hand and immediately dragged him to my room. "What?" I asked when I saw the grin on his lips.
