Loving You Too Long

Yes. His first love who rejected him because she valued her sister’s feelings more.

If it weren’t for Haisley’s love, he would have fought for his love for Crystal before Juan took her away.

Nathan sighed deeply. No, it wasn’t Haisley’s fault. It wasn’t Crystal and Juan’s fault either. It was all his fault. He was too cowardly to express his feelings. He kept delaying because he thought Crystal, who was four years younger than him at the time, wasn’t ready to accept his love and wasn’t prepared for a more serious relationship.

He thought she was still too young. So, he assumed that to prove his love to Crystal, he had to become a man first.

That’s why he left his home to continue his education. To make himself more worthy in the eyes of the Smith family. Before marrying their eldest daughter. Note, their eldest daughter. Crystal Smith.

But fate was not on his side. He received a series of surprises. Three years after his departure, just when he was starting his career, Nathan heard the news that Crystal had been proposed to and was about to get married. The man proposing was none other than Nathan’s cousin and Crystal’s close friend, Juan. A young man who was not even mature yet. Who couldn’t even provide a decent life for the woman he loved. But Crystal chose him.

Nathan tried to persuade Crystal to reconsider her decision to accept Juan’s proposal and consider the feelings he had kept hidden for so long. But instead of changing her mind and accepting him, Crystal introduced him to her younger sister. A shy girl who had never caught Nathan’s attention. An innocent and naive girl who believed that the puppy love she felt was true love.

Nathan glanced at the woman sitting gracefully beside him, Loretta. She was a beautiful girl, someone Nathan wouldn’t hesitate to introduce to the public. In front of everyone, she could display her friendly and obedient side. She was elegant and educated. Yet, there was something that prevented Nathan from loving her. It wasn’t because she lacked resemblance to Crystal. But because… Nathan chose to stop thinking about it.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

No matter how hard he tried to replace Crystal’s presence with Loretta, he couldn’t. And the way Loretta had greeted Haisley earlier was truly remarkable.

Indeed, Nathan had deliberately invited Loretta to his home, which was happening for the first time in the past year they had known each other. His intention was to show Haisley that he didn’t want her presence. That there was someone else in his life now. However, when he saw Haisley’s expression as he embraced Loretta, it genuinely stunned him.

Haisley’s indifferent attitude towards him and her friendly demeanor towards Loretta made him reconsider his assumptions about her. What did she mean by openly stating that she intended to find a boyfriend?

Has she forgotten him? Forgotten her love for Nathan? The love that made Crystal believe that Nathan meant so much to her sister, making her plead for the acceptance of the girl? Or was it just a game from the girl to make him jealous? To indirectly tell him that Nathan was no longer significant in her life?

Arrgghhh! Nathan cursed himself inwardly. How could he be affected so easily by the words of that little girl? Yes! A little girl. Haisley was indeed just a little girl. Not just her age, but also her body.

Nathan smirked to himself.

He was quite surprised when he stepped out of his office and saw the figure of Haisley, who was now ninteen years old, in front of him. Haisley who was different from the Haisley he had met six years ago.

Six years ago. She was a sweet girl wearing a pink party dress with lace wrapped around her waist. Wearing pink shoes and neatly arranged hair adorned with a matching headband. Her petite body and chubby face made her look like a doll. Beautiful and adorable.

However, it turned out that six years had truly changed her. Earlier, Haisley stood before him in shabby jeans and an oversized white t-shirt. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. She wore no feminine accessories whatsoever. Even the small watch on her left wrist only added to her casual vibe. And her face, it hadn’t changed. The girl still looked beautiful and remarkably fresh even without makeup. Clean and slightly flushed due to the heat she carried in from outside.

Her figure remained petite, although there were changes in a few places. His lower body suddenly throbbed when he imagined what might be beneath that oversized shirt. Nathan tried to refocus his mind on the road ahead.

But when he remembered the graceful curve of her neck and the white skin of her throat, that throb only grew stronger. What would it feel like if his lips touched her collarbone, licking the sweat trickling between them?

Oh God. His thoughts were starting to go haywire. How could he think so dirty of a girl he previously only thought of as a little nuisance?

Beside him was an undoubtedly gorgeous woman with a figure akin to a Spanish guitar, yet he found himself fixating on the petite body of a girl who might not even know how to wear lingerie. Whose breasts are not yet mature at all.

Nathan wasn’t even sure if the girl had ever kissed anyone before. Yes, maybe she has, but a quick kiss won’t spark passion.

Her lips, painted in a shade of soft pink, filled his mind once again. How would it feel if Nathan pulled those lips in with his own? Tasting them, giving them gentle nips that would make the girl moan? Nathan could even imagine the sensation as his tongue entwined with hers, sharp yet tender, while his hands roamed freely, teasing her breasts or perhaps playing with the girl’s warmest parts.

God, just the thought of it made him groan in frustration. And suddenly, Nathan felt himself growing so swollen and tight. It was all because of her. Yes! Her!
