My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



Goodness, this child was very good looking.

Was it possible for a child to be this good looking?!

His skin was as white as snow, and his eyes were onyx black. It was hard to describe what she was looking at. She had never seen such a gorgeous looking boy before!

Inside the car.

Looking out from the window, Madam Quartley saw Montez hugging Yesseca affectionately.

She was disgusted at the sight of the two of them.

She couldn't tell what sort of devious trick Yesseca had played on him to cause him to adore her so much.

She wanted nothing more than to move the two of them as far away from each other as possible.

But Madam Quartley couldn't bear to see Montez crying his little heart out like he did earlier.

She then barked out an order at Sheldon, "Sheldon, get down there and keep an ear on what they're saying to each other! If she says anything that might trick Montez into staying with her, drag him

back immediately!"

Sheldon was speechless.

He couldn't imagine Yesseca saying anything like that to Montez.

But since it was an order from Madam Quartley, he had to obey.

She was Tremaine's grandmother after all.

Sheldon got out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Preslie spotted him.

Her eyes lit up immediately.

Goodness, it was the handsome man in uniform again.

Preslie walk over to him. "Hello, we meet again, huh?"

She felt especially shy and only managed to whisper that out.

Sheldon was so focused on listening in on Yesseca and Montez's conversation that he didn't notice Preslie at all.

Preslie was quiet.

She was stunned by this and suddenly heard her sister's voice from that morning echoing in her head.

"You're already so fat, yet you're still eating!"

"Tut, tut, I know you've lost a lot of weight before, but what does that matter? You're still a fat girl. No man will be interested in a fatty like you. You'd better watch out, otherwise you'll never get married and will end up having to live with our parents for the rest of your life."

She felt inferior about herself as her sister's cruel mockery replayed in her mind.

Preslie silently took a few steps back and hid behind a tree.

She felt bitter inside.

She felt embarrassed at how cheeky she had acted.

It was great that he had saved her, but there was no way she should have just gone up to him like that. A man like him wouldn't want anything to do with a woman like her.

Men probably saw her as nothing more than a fat, unattractive woman. They wouldn't pay any attention to her. She was just a nuisance to them. Her heart ached terribly.

She had been ridiculed and mocked by plenty of people before which brought her self esteem to it's absolute lowest. She had since recovered after reading several self-help books about psychology. She thought she had become a cheerful and bubbly person, but right now, all her past insecurities were resurfacing.

After Montez was done with showering Yesseca with his affection, he broke the news to her.

He was moving to Nashaland.

Yesseca was very surprised at this.

Montez then spoke like an adult, "Yesseca, you should know that I will never forget you even when I've moved to Nashaland. I will always think of you." Montez then blushed as he said, "If you'd be willing to... would you come with me to Nashaland?"

He looked at Yesseca with a solemn face. Yesseca could tell from his expression that he was being sincere.

Yesseca held her breath.

After a while, she said with a forced smile, "Montez, I'm very happy here. It would be impossible for me to move to Nashaland."

The spark of hope in Montez's eyes slowly dimmed.

He had expected this.

It would be impossible for Yesseca to move to Nashaland with him.

He had hoped that the fantasies in his mind would come true on their way here.

But it wasn't meant to be. Yesseca wasn't going to move to Nashaland, but he had to.

He had always known that he would be moving to Nashaland with his father one day.

Montez sniffed. "Yesseca, I'll ask my family to buy me a smartphone."

He would ask his great grandmother to get him a smartphone.

Yesseca shook her head. "No, Montez, little children shouldn't be playing with smartphones."

"I won't play games with my phone." Montez said seriously, "Yesseca, rest assured that I am a good boy

and that won't play games on my phone. will use the phone to keep in touch with you, so that we can call each other often and send

no

messages everyday. That way even if we are far apart from each other, we can still be together."

That's when Yesseca realized why he wanted to get a smartphone.

She felt a surge of emotions in her heart.

She was surprised at how much he cared about her.

"Yesseca..." Montez asked while pointing at his cheek. "Would you give me a kiss please?"

Yesseca bent down and kissed his cheek.

Montez smiled so widely that his eyes curved happily from Yesseca's kiss.

They spoke to each other for a whole hour.

But it was time to go.

Montez waved at Yesseca as he said goodbye.

He then said to her, "Yesseca, I'll miss you. I will especially miss you when I get to Nashaland."

Yesseca was overwhelmed with emotions.

So many things had happened to her

lately that she had completely forgotten about Montez. She didn't expect to get the chance to see him once more before he had to move away.

She didn't think she'd feel so reluctant to see him go.

When she heard that he was moving far away, she was very sad to see him go.

But she knew that Montez had his own life to live. She had to let go.

Yesseca then said, "Montez, I'll come and visit you in Nashaland. We'll play together again."

"Really?" Montez's eyes lit up.

She nodded. "Really."Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Montez stretched out his hand and said, "Pinkie promise?"

Yesseca extended her hand out as well and said, "Pinky promise."

Yesseca watched Montez get into the car and watched it drive away.

After some time, Yesseca looked away.

She felt sad.

Yesseca took a deep breath.

What was she even sad about!?

This wasn't some life or death situation.

Besides, Nashaland wasn't that far away. She could go over to visit him whenever she wanted.

Yesseca then began to walk back to her apartment.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something.

Preslie!

Where had she gone?!

Yesseca looked around and finally found her hiding behind a tree.

She was leaning against the tree. Her face was pale.

Yesseca took her hand and said, "There you are, Preslie. I've been looking for you. Come on, let's go cook some dinner."

Preslie followed Yesseca to her apartment.

When they were cooking in the kitchen, Yesseca noticed that something was wrong.

She took out a chopping board and said, "Let me cut the vegetables, you can help wash them."

She was afraid that Preslie would cut herself if she chopped the vegetables.

Preslie washed the vegetables with a blank look on her face.

Yesseca looked at her carefully and asked, "Are you okay? You seem to be in a bad mood."

Preslie had seemed to be in a good mood on their way here.

Preslie didn't answer.

Yesseca then added, "If you're still

upset about what your sister said to you this morning, well, stop thinking about it. You can stay with me for the next few days, and you should also tell her that you're upset with her That way she'll stop being so mean to you."
