1-Tastes Like A Set Up

Camila~ The brownies were getting burnt! I could not just speak directly of course. But I had to do something. "Um, Savanah, they're getting burnt." I said to her in a gentle tone. She looked at me like I was something from the trash can, those big eyes bulged open. "Who are you to tell me what to do? You fool." She scoffed. "Why don't you do it then?" It was the anniversary of the late boss Hans, the head of the family. He died three years ago so they celebrated him every year. The whole family gathered to celebrate him, but my husband and I hosted everyone. "Sure. I'll just switch off the oven now." I quickly rushed to turn it off. She rolled her eyes and walked away. My husband came in just at that moment. "And what's up with her now?" Jaxon said in his deep voice. He had grown extra the couple past years I barely recognized him with his tummy slightly protruding. "I just stepped in now and saw the brownies were getting burnt!"I explained while taking out the brown

2-Tastes Like A Guest Arriving

Camila~ I couldn't believe what had just happened. "Jaxon? I told you what happened, how can you still doubt me like this!" Savannah blinked, she knew her brother was taking her side. "Why will you lie like this, Camila? What did I ever do wrong?" "You--" anger filled me but I never spoke bad to my in-laws before so why start now? "Aren't you even bothered about your son? Look at you keen on attacking my own precious daughter." Aubrey said. It raised a few suspicious glances at me from everyone that I turned to leave. I paused, then signaled to Jaxon. "I need to see you." He hesitated for a while, then rose up. "Where are you going my son? Stay, will you?" Aubrey asked. "Yea, are you acting like a pussy like this because of this woman?" Blake spat out. I always found Blake disgusting. He was a big headache on his own. With Jaxon being the first child, he sure allowed his younger ones to take advantage of him too much. And Jaxon and I were almost age mates with him

3-Tastes Like Another Baby

Camila~ "Me? Who's that?" I said, following her downstairs. "Her name was Madam Vanessa." I did not hear her clearly. "I'm sure there's been some sort of mix up somewhere. Vanessa?" I shook my head. I wasn't buying this! I tried to keep myself, calming down. I always knew that Vanessa was becoming...too available. But she was my own friend, and I never invited her! "It's so lovely to see you here, I didn't think you would make it--" this was Aubrey, Jaxon's mother. I felt betrayed that my chest stung. "Wait, you knew of her arrival?" I turned to Jaxon, "you invited her over without telling me?" "Oh I'm sorry to be an inconvenience. I jsit thought Jaxon would have let you know." Vanessa said, smiling innocently. "I'm a little angry, Vanessa. Why did you show up without letting me know." I frowned. No matter how cute she tried to be, I was still angry. "Caleb was even shocked too." "Can we just stop acting weird now and just eat??" Jaxon said, clearing his throat. "C

4-Tastes Like This Is Goodbye

Camila~ I mean I had always suspected something strange was going on between them. Caleb even made assumptions! I...I just couldn't believe my doubts to be true. I didn't know how long I'd been waiting but finally, Jaxon came back. Blake was not with him. "You seem in a rush. How is she?" I said, even though I was still angry, I needed to know that she was okay. He ignored and kept pacing around. "Jaxon, can you hear me? I'm talking to you." "She could have died if we didn't rush her to the hospital on time, Camilla! Okay? Now leave me alone." "I don't like your tone. What is important is that she's fine now." "But my baby might not be!" He roared out. You could see the anger boiling in his eyes. "Your baby?" The words were heavy and bitter in my mouth. "If anything goes wrong, I will never forgive you, okay! You'll pay for it. I wondered why tears weren't flooding from my eyes right now. I was devastated. After all these years of our marriage, he would cheat on me

5-Tastes Like Garlic

Nico~ “I would rather get shot in the head than have a tiny bite of chocolate.” I made my point by chugging down the last glass of wine. Shawn shook his head and Mike muttered something in Spanish that seemed like an insult. We always argued like this all the time. “Speak English, Mike!” I rolled my eyes. “Who hates chocolate? I love all things chocolate,” Shawn’s gaze was fixated on a lady in front, “like that dark chocolate rocking it on the dance floor, for example…” “Okay, Shawn is gone. My turn…” I was searching the bar for a pretty thing to take home tonight. “How about you, Mike? Who are you going home with tonight!” His question was met with a rough pat on his back where Mike winced in pain. “I wish one day you both realize this habit has to stop.” Mike warned. “I have a girlfriend and you two idiots should find yourselves one too.” “How are we going to find ourselves one if we don’t go out more often?” My head was buried in the crowd, searching. “Gay Mike, al

6-Tastes Like A Hunt For A Manager

Third POV ~ Camila heaved a deep sigh. She was so glad for that flirt who had made her let out all her emotions. At least now, she’d found a solution—no matter how temporary it might be. She picked up her phone. “This is my last resort,” she reminded herself. Camila had lost his number ages ago. I mean, they were friends for some years, but that was it. Everyone moved on. “Please remember me, I beg you.” He had always been so nice to her. They’d reconnected even after high school, and he was still so sweet to her. “I’m sorry I lost your number again…” “But thanks to social media…” She had dug it up online. “Okay. Just answer my call the first time, hmm?” She swallowed what remained of her pride and dialed his number. No response. “Damn it!” “I’ve got no shame now, have I?” She dialed again. This time, his voice came through. “Hello? Hey, Camila! It’s been so long!” Oh, he sounds excited to hear from me. That’s good… Camila smiled, then confessed everything. “It’s Jaxon. He

7-Tastes Like We Need To Talk

Camila~ "I need you to be on your best behavior, Caleb." He was tall, nearly taller than me now, but I didn't let myself be intimidated by his height. He was still my son. I slapped his shoulder. "Hey, look at me, I'm talking to you!" Caleb lazily turned to face me. "I'm sorry, okay? But this is our reality right now." My voice was low as I tried to talk some sense into him. "You didn't have to leave Dad on such terms. Besides, he owes you alimony. You should have behaved so the money increases." "Behaved?" The word tasted bitter in my mouth no matter how I repeated it. "He cheated on me... he should have behaved." "He made a mistake. It's your job to forgive him. Think about me. Now you want me to suffer because of your foolish pride?" By this time, it felt like my blood was boiling. "You're not making any sense right now. Why am I arguing with a dumb fourteen-year-old child?" "You sure are very proud for someone who is now poor. Why drag me into this too?" Smacking my lips,

8 - Tastes Like An Offer

Camila~ He smiled, and his eyes actually lit up in excitement. God, I loved his eyes. I hoped I wasn't staring again. "Did I say something funny?" I just had to ask. His hand reached for mine, and he led me outside. The cold air sank into my skin, causing me to shiver. "It's cold," he said, his hand stretched forward as he... caught the cold? I didn't know what he was doing. "Yeah, I'm kinda cold, so can we wrap this up?" He nodded, then cleared his throat a little too loudly. "Yes, you are right. Okay, um, Camila Torres..." I blinked. How did he... But I was more furious. He was wearing a hoodie. Why couldn't he offer it to me? Bro hasn't seen a lot of romantic movies where they ask, "Are you cold?" and offer their jacket or something? This man before me just ignored my shivers and shaking like it was nothing! "Let's wrap it up," I said again, making my face hard. "Sure, sure. Okay, uh... you're the one I've been searching for all my life." He said it so calmly, like he was s

9 - Tastes Like I Failed The Course

Camila~ "Well, goodnight son," I was about to close the door when he called me back. "Dong worry, I've told Mike and the boys—" I gave it a second thought, "well, grown men, will behave. They just got into a headed argument, that's all." "No, not that." He said quietly. Looking at how serious his face was, I made a mental note to be calm and listen. "Okay honey, what is it?" I sat down next to him. "I'm supposed to resume school next two weeks. We're poor now. You've got to speak to dad." "Right," I knew what he was talking about. "You want me to kiss his ass..." He clicked his teeth,"he's your husband. You've been with him for so long. And you want some other woman to claim everything? Just because she says she's pregnant. For all we know, she may even just be lying." "I will give him a call," I stopped him right there. "Caleb, I know it's none of your business. But your dad hurt me. You need to understand that you're not the only one hurting here." "So? You'd just let your p

10 - Tastes Like He Can Throw A Punch

Camila~ I couldn't play it cool anymore. "Well don't you know, trouble is my middle name," was all I could manage before I forced my way far from him to the opposite end of the kitchen. My heart was such an idiot to be racing like this on some flirt I just met yesterday! But Nico was handsome. He must have that effect on every woman, men too, who knows. "The sugar is up here," he was pointing upwards to the cabinet, "come and get it." I looked up and did a calculation in my head, "what? Do you think I'm that short?" Then bounced over. He moved away, ready to watch in amusement at how I'd embarrassed myself. The moment of truth was upon me. Standing on my toes, I reached upwards, stretching my hands as far as they could go and...Oh no, I am short. I mean, I knew that but, this short? I heard a faint chuckle from behind, "I would reach up to get it for you," he said, smiling, "but you can do that yourself, can you not? I'm rooting for you." Flashing me a wink, he smirked before le
