“Wilder stop staring there help us here!” Her aunt said. “I-I just can’t believe it.” He said while still looking at me.
“Here.” He handed me the heels. “Wear it.”
Wilder took that. “Let me.” He bent down and gently held my foot to put on the heels. He looked up at me as he put on his heels and stood up. Now Wilder and I are the same height.
“Beautiful. More suitable.” His Aunt promised. “Try to walk.” This is next.
I don’t know if I can walk in these heels. I think it’s 4 inch heels. I tried to put my right foot forward, followed by my other foot but just with that I tripped. I close my eyes when the thought of me falling down came to my mind.
That’s what I’m saying, I’m not used to old shoes, I’d rather be laughed at in my old shoes than fall again and again.
I was waiting to feel the hard and cold floor.
But to my surprise it was warm.. kind a hard too. Is the floor like this in the Gucci shop? Strange. I opened my eyes.
I did not fall.
Wilder’s arms catch me.
He is looking intelligently at my eyes. I swallowed hard. My heart was beating fast and I felt strange. Could it be because I’m wearing fitted clothes? Is that what it’s like when you’re wearing it?
We hadn’t left the gaming position before Wilder’s aunt coughed.
He gently lifted me.
“B-be careful.” He said and looked away.
“Iha, just stick your foot to the heels as if they are attached to your foot so you can balance, that’s easy when you practice.. after a week your gonna walk like a model.” He promised me with a smile and I smiled back.
I’ve tried many more clothes, almost all of which are short and fit the body equally well.
“We’ll get everything Aunt.” Wilder said after I measured the last dress.
“Our only problem is your hair.” He said. His aunt looked at him and said “oh my hair stylist is on his way to my shop right now because I need hair care as usual.. do you just want to let him do the job on her Wilder?” She asked. “That would be great Aunt Herma.
He looked at me. “Don’t change.” It promised.
While someone is fixing my hair they hand me a book to read.
Natalie’s first thought was to find a person who is very smart and can help her.
Joe thinks she should use her looks to get what she wants. She didn’t do well on a test and won’t study and take it again.
He discovered that Lance was running to be the top student in their class. He is the smartest student. She went after him without wasting any time.
First, Lance didn’t want to do what she asked because of his beliefs and values. He quickly said yes to her idea because it would be fun.
No one wants to be in a relationship with him because he’s a nerd.
He said he would help Natalie with her studies if she taught him how to kiss and make a girl happy.
Natalie showed him how to kiss. She was surprised that he did not know how to do it well, but she still enjoyed it even when he accidentally bites her lips.
He helped her with the test after they worked together. Natalie passed the test, but her teachers do not believe it because she is considered a difficult student. However, the teachers decided not to question her success.
Natalie and Lance are being seen together for many days. Some people are not noticing but Lance’s friend Aira, who is a bookworm, is worried about him.
She warned Natalie to stay away from Magnus, but Natalie didn’t take it seriously.
She doesn’t care about the two nerds. All she wants is to pass her classes and graduate, so she doesn’t need their help anymore.
Joe, who sometimes dates Natalie, is at his Mom’s house when they go to visit.
Natalie and Joe’s mom have been friends for a long time, even when Natalie’s family lost their money. She has to marry Joe because her mother owes money to Joe’s parents, and this way they won’t have to pay the debt.
Natalie and Lance get closer by studying together. Lance starts to love Natalie but he’s afraid to ask her out to the grand ball because he’s scared she might say no, especially when he sees her kissing Joe.
Everyone was surprised when Jessa, who is normally seen as a nerd, looked very pretty at the grand ball. Now, everyone is wondering who will be chosen as the prom queen out of Natalie and Jessa.
Natalie and Joe both won the titles of prom king and queen at the end of the night. When Natalie saw Joe kissing Jessa, she felt sad. But she also realized that happy moments can be followed by sad ones. To make Joe feel as bad as she did, she asked Lance to take her to a hotel.
That night, they grew up and became adults even though they lost their innocence. Nobody knew that Natalie and Lance had a secret on their vacation, and nobody knew what they did. It took a long time for a video of Lance and Natalie having sex to be on the internet. Natalie and Lance had sex during a trip with their classmates, but they didn’t realize someone was recording them. Natalie felt really bad about herself and was ashamed of who she had become. Everything in her life felt like it was falling apart.
“Lance and Natalie are both asked to go to the dean’s office with their parents.” Lance’s mom is upset with Natalie, thinking she made Lance bad. Lance defended Natalie, but his mom doesn’t trust him because someone else is giving her false information.
Natalie had an argument with her mom and her younger sister Bubble passed out and was quickly taken to the hospital.
The person has a growth inside their brain, and they need a lot of money to have it removed. They don’t know where to find help.
Joe’s mom said no when they asked for her help.
Natalie doesn’t care much about the sex tape she has because her sister is more important to her than anything else, even her own feelings.
Lance’s Mom said she would give them money to pay for her sister’s surgery, but only if they agreed to never see Lance again.
She has to agree because her sister’s life depends on her decision. She didn’t accept the gift Lance gave her on graduation day and ended their relationship without being honest about why.
Natalie gets very sad when she finds out that her dad was in an accident that made him unable to move.
Natalie is now a waitress at a coffee shop because she chose to help her family instead of going to college.
Ally’s friend from work offered her a job as a model for sports cars. Sadly, some bad people tried to hurt her because of her looks. Luckily, Ally’s old love named Lance came to help her when she needed it most.
She can’t stop thinking about what happened to her that night, but she remembers that Lance looks different now without his nerdy glasses.
Now he looks very different, he’s attractive with a fit body that Natalie couldn’t resist when he flirted with her and they had sex on top of the sports car he bought at the car show.
While Natalie was working at the coffee shop, she met Jow unexpectedly. They had a quick chat and she learned that Jow wanted to assist her, something that his mother didn’t do.
He suggests Natalie to do a modeling job, but she says no to their help. Thankfully, a company she applied to called her. She wasn’t making enough money at the coffee shop, so she needed a better-paying job. She was very happy when the company hired her.
On her first day of work, she was surprised to meet Lance who was her boss and she was his secretary.
Lance’s mom told his secretary that he and Jessa were already engaged, and she was very upset because she didn’t realize how much Lance had changed and how he had lied to her.
He only had sex with her but doesn’t love her anymore. He’s just messing with her because he’s already engaged to Jessa.
Natalie is in a tough spot again. She lost both of her jobs. She quit her job at the coffee shop when she got a new job at a company without knowing that her new boss is Lance. Now she’s in trouble.
Her parents rely on her to support and take care of them.
She understood that Joe gave her a job and she had to say yes.
Her job as a model started to do really well again because of Joe. Her old friends contacted her and invited her to a reunion for their group. She didn’t want to go, but Joe was going and wanted her to come too. Eventually, she said yes.
Natalie was worried about going to the reunion because she knew people would talk about her past. When she got there, everyone was talking about her and she felt anxious. Seeing Jessa and Lance together didn’t make her feel better.
She wanted to be by herself and think, so she left the reunion to avoid causing any commotion. She screamed when she saw Lance behind her.
They had a conversation, but Natalie had to leave when she received a call that Bubble was sent to the hospital. Lance went with her, and they met Lance’s mother at the hospital. She was angry to see them together because she tried to keep them apart before. She argued with them and insulted Natalie’s family, but Natalie’s mother stood up for her.
She supported her daughter and family. She didn’t say anything when people thought bad things about them before, but now she won’t let that happen.
Natalie has already been through a lot. Lance was not sure what his mom meant about the sickness they had before. But, he didn’t pressure Natalie into telling the truth. Instead, he went home and let her be with her loved ones.
The next day, Natalie chose to break up with the Morrison family, leave everything behind, and start a new life.
She tried to quit her job by sending a letter, but the company said no and told her she had to tell them in person.
He said no at first, but after one minute she begged him to agree to her quitting her job. He said he’d agree if she married him.
Lance discovered that Natalie’s mother exploited their financial situation and forced Natalie to turn him down.
He knew everything about it, but now he won’t let Natalie choose. He asks her to be his wife.
Lance’s mom wanted to get involved, but Lance had made up his mind that if they didn’t like Natalie, he would quit his job. But his dad wouldn’t let that happen because he doesn’t want Lance to have to marry someone he doesn’t care about.
Lance and Natalie decided to get married after their families approved.
Something surprising happened on Natalie and Joe’s wedding day when a photo of them in the car went viral on the internet.
This is a picture of when Natalie was celebrating her successful photo shoot, but she had been drinking and didn’t realize that someone was going to kiss her.
She didn’t think Lance would come to the wedding but he did, just like he said he would.
The couple got married and had a baby named Roux who looks just like his dad. Even though they went through a lot, they’re grateful and wouldn’t be together if Natalie didn’t ask Lance to be her pupil in sex education.
“H-haha? Why are we going somewhere else? It’s getting late.” I answered. “Yes, we’ll have dinner.” He said “But I’m not comfortable in what I’m wearing.”
“Yes dinner, I’m kind a hungry and you can’t just change the way you dress and I’ve thrown away your old clothes. My eyes widened at what he said.
“You threw it away? Why did you throw it away?!” I asked him furiously. “You won’t need them anymore.. besides I bought you a lot already.”
Tita’s hair stylist has arrived.. even though it’s embarrassing, she fixed me first before Aunt Herma.
Stretched my curly and long hair, I was changing because I’m not used to having my hair out.. it also hit my face.
We left the shop quietly. I thanked her Aunt and Andrè, who was her hair stylist. His aunt waved at us and said goodbye.
At first I thought her aunt was rude because she also did the same things that people who look down on me do. Staring at me from head to toe. Then raise an eyebrow but it turned out that she is really nice.
I will never forget what he said to me.
“What are you and Wilder?” She asked while raising her right eyebrow.
While we were inside his office and Andrè was arranging things.
Wilder is currently answering the phone so he is not here.
“Let’s go to class.” My answer.
“Hm, that’s odd. They don’t bring women here just to buy clothes and fix them. I think you too are more than that.” It said laughing.
“H-huh? H-no. We’re just in the same class. I-I don’t even know why he’s doing this. I’m not like you think—” he laughed louder now, not insulting laugh It’s more like a genuine laugh.
“Do you know what I’m thinking? Don’t be so defensive iha, don’t worry I’m not what you think. It’s good that you come here. I’m so lonely here.” He just laughed.
“S-sorry. I thought so.” I said with my head down.
“Nah, I just do that to Intimidate people.” He said laughing.
“I know that Wilder is a playboy. But I’m happy he brought you here at least someone I can talk to about fashion.. but of course you have to learn first, right Andrè!” She said. “Oh yes!” He also laughed and shouted.
“Oh I have plans for us right away. Let’s go shopping and spa, that would be fun if there is someone with us.”
“I’m fine Madame. It seems you don’t need me anymore. I’ll be with you every week. It’s good that I can rest.” It’s a good promise.
“Why! I still owe you my heart to free you!” He laughed at this promise.
“Did I miss the fun in here?” Wilder asked to come back.
His Aunt whispered to me “Just let me know if you’re official. I really like you for him. You’re not artistic.”
The selected clothes were in the trunk, forced to fit the clothes there.
Wilder prefers the one I measured a while ago so I changed anyway because I couldn’t move properly.
Yes, the clothes are fresh, but it’s hard to move.
I’m also very thankful because somehow I don’t have a peso on my skin. I took care of my complexion even though I was sick in the province.
“W-where are we going?” I asked to break the silence inside the car.
“Bar.”
“H-huh? “S-then why? But don’t! maybe because.. my manager will see me.”
“There’s a lot of bars in Manila, and it’s an elite bar.” He said.
He didn’t answer my question why. So I chose to remain silent.
“O-okay.” I promise.
