Will
I held Mari's hand and pulled her along, though gently as I walked her to sit under a tree with me
“this place is so cool” she muttered and I nodded
“yeah, it's usually cool at night” I said and stared at her as she looked up at the tree.
When would this girl love me because I'm tired of not understanding her feelings. She acts like she likes me a lot but she is still acting like she doesn't have a thing for me.
If only she had said yes, I would have sat beside her and not opposite her like I'm doing now. Then I'd tint her face to my face and kiss her as slow as the wind is tonight.
“goddammit” I mumbled and palmed my face.
“are you okay?” she asked and I removed my palm and looked at her
“I had forgotten my inhaler upstairs” I said
“it's in your pocket” she said
Mari 🌺🌺I withdrew from him and hugged the puppy“I'm gonna call you Goldie” I said to the puppy“Goldie?” Will asked“yeah, you're against it?” I asked him“no, not really” he said and I chuckledI unhooked my seatbelt and stood up with Goldie clutched to my chest with one hand while I held unto the car with the other“whoaaaaahhhhh” I screamed as he zoomed through a street. My hair was dancing about and Goldie's tongue stuck out“this is so fun!” I said and looked down at Wilbur“yeah? What if it starts raining?” he asked with a loud voice so I could hear“no way... It should rain tomorrow please” I replied and he laughed and slowed down. I sat down and hooked my seat belt“that was fun”
Marigold“OH my goodness” Eliza cooed“are you serious?”I exhaled “yeah. Yeah I am. I've been giving it some thought and I realized I actually have feelings for him. I can't deny it anymore” I confessed and tucked my hair behind my ear“gosh! This is like my dream come true. I'm so happy for you. Hey, you have to tell him immediately” she said and dropped Goldie in her basket“that's my problem. How I'm I gonna tell him? Should I walk up to him and say, Will I love you now” I stated and bit my lower lip, I felt nervous.“now you have to release all the flirty tactics in you. It's easy, just ask him if he's still interested in you. If he says yes, smile at him and tell him you have his answer now. He would ask you to tell him then you'd just say.. Yes” she blinked her eyes like a pretty Barbie princess
“sign here please” he said and pointed at the place I should sign. I took the pen and signed“thank you miss” he said“thank you too” I replied and he left. I entered inside and closed the door. I sat on the couch and Eliza came out of the kitchen“hey what's that?” she asked immediately and came to sit beside me“Wilbur ordered it for me. I don't know what it is” I said and ran my fingers on the nylon bag“well open it. Let's see” Eliza said and I opened the bag and pulled out a large and flat white box. There was a tag on it and I picked itIt said I'M TAKING YOU OUT TOMORROW NIGHT, WEAR THIS AND GET READY BEFORE 7PM“he wants to take you out. Perfect!” Eliza exclaimed and took the paper tag from me“but he didn't say anything about taking m
I quickly uncovered the pot and turned off the stove.“is it bad?” Eliza asked and I took a spoon to check“thank God, it's just the underneath that got burnt. The middle and upper part is still good” I said and took out two plates“great... I'm starving” she said and took cups to fetch waterWhile we were eating, we were talking about school professors and Goldie was playing with a squeaky toyEliza decided to turn on the TV and she found out it was connected to the DVD player“were you watching something?” she asked as she pulled out the disk“yeah. It's a movie I bought that day I followed you to the movie store“oh what movie?” she asked and put it back into the DVD. She pressed start and the movie began“You Only?” she asked“how
🌺Wilbur🌺I looked at my time and I was already five minutes late. The party would begin at exactly 7:15pm and it's already 7:05pm. I quickly entered my car and drove to Mari's houseI knocked on the door and Eliza opened“is she ready?” I whispered and she nodded“Mari come out already” she said and Mari gently walked out of her room. I began to grin from ear to ear. She's so beautiful“hey” she said shyly“hey” I said and we both stared at each other without a word“you guys are getting late” Eliza whispered and I chuckled“you look so beautiful” I said and took her left hand. She smiled brightly“thank you Will”“well, shall we?” I asked and she nodded. I pulled her out of the house gently and we waved at Eliza before moving to the c
Mari's POVHis face drew closer and he almost kissed me“aren't you going to introduce me to her?” a girl asked, causing him to stop his kiss procedure“OH Dani... Mari this is Dani, my cousin from my father's side” he introduced“hi Mari... The girl who stole Willie's heart” she said and hugged me“it's nice to meet you Dani. You're so beautiful” I said and she blushed“I like you already” she giggled. She seems like a teenager“Dani, we'll be right back. I have to introduce her to the rest”“okay” she said and walked away.Will introduced me to everyone. The guests were just around seven and mostly his family and few of the families friends. They all seemed to like me and I was glad because I felt free.The guests began
WillI was filled with joy as if it was my own birthday. At first it was unbelievable that she actually fell for me, I couldn't even believe my ears.Our lips separated and her eyes opened slowly. We stared at each other for some seconds then suddenly started to laughI took her hand“thanks for making me so happy tonight” I said“thanks for making me happy always” she replied and I smiled and began to kiss her again“hmm hmm” someone cleared his or her throat.We parted immediately and looked to see Eliza“I'm so sorry sorry I have to intrude. I hate the fact that I have to ruin this perfect moment between you two but it's very important and I hope you guys can please continue this another time... Please” she pleaded and I chuckled, why is she feeling bad for intruding?“wha
Mari“hey” I called out to Will who just kept staring into his phone“yeah?” he said without looking up at me“are you busy with something?” I asked and he sighed softly and dropped the phone on the table“nope I'm not. Come on let's eat” he said with a smile. I bit my lip as a realization hit me, the realization that I have kissed the lips of Wilbur Sanders. I grinned and watched him open the pizza box“what would you be doing this week?” I asked as he placed the box between us. I picked a slice first then he did.“uhm... There's an award show tomorrow night and I have to be at the agency I work for from noon for some orientation and all their talk. On Tuesday I have to accompany my director to a small island close to Manila here. He needs to get some things in place for a new drama. On Wednesday I'm free, on
MariOne week to their birthday I fell ill. Eliza thought it was as a result of the stress or trauma we had gone through two months ago but it wasn't. I knew exactly why I felt down. It had to do with my heart. It was empty and it wanted it's owner back.I got off from the bed where I was just resting and I walked to my drawer. I pulled open the third one and lifted some papers up. I saw it. The purple envelope with white flowers on it. Marigolds.I smiled and pulled it out then closed the drawer. I sat on the floor and crossed my legs then ran my thumb on the envelope“it's next week” I said to myself and smiledI hugged the envelope and laid down on the floor. The floor was cold, so not good for me but I didn't care. The thought that Will wanted me back made me feel warm.Eliza came into the room two minutes later and gasped when
Will“help! Somebody please help!” Mari cried as she held unto Fred. I could only look on and couldn't do anything. Eliza was still unconscious and I was drifting away slowly.My eyes were closing and my ears kept hearing Mari's cries. I tried to stay conscious but I couldn't fight it*I woke up in a bed. As usual I felt heavy and weak at the same timeI sat up and slowly ran my fingers through my hair. I've been through a lot this past week and I don't think I would be able to get the memories off me.I can't believe Eduardo didn't die. That psychopath! He was behind this all along. I shouldn't think this way but I'm glad I saw him die real this time. At least I'll be sure he won't come back.I sighed when I remembered how Mari clung to Fred's body and cried. I was hurt. She didn't even care for me the way she did for him. Does that really mean she loves h
Fred 🍁I tried my very best to act cool despite his cold glare. If he had found out then I'm in trouble. I should have hired someone to do that job for me but I couldn't trust anyone but myself. I just hope my little cover up worked“you... It's you” he said and I scoffed“me? Can you stop kidding and tell me who it is?” I asked“I just told you. It's Yu. The Chinese American who went off duty yesterday” he said and looked at the girls. I heaved a sigh, he didn't hear it though. My cover up had worked. I paid him off and told him to run away to a faraway country and fake a new identity. I had actually threatened him with all his crimes. He was my fish bait.“have you gotten him?” I asked“no. We only pointed him out as the one who helped them. He was seen in Manila the night our men raided their house b
Will 🍁🍁I woke up when I felt someone touching my hands. I opened my eyes and saw a man untying me. He looked really familiar. I didn't make any move nor sound till he untied my hands l. He proceeded to untie my legs then he looked up at me. He gasped a little as his eyes met with mine.“you look... awfully familiar” I muttered under my breath“don't talk” he whispered. He took my hand and placed it over his shoulder then placed his other hand behind me“let's get you up” he said and pulled me up gently“where are you taking me?” I asked“I said don't talk” he replied and began to walk with me. We kept walking quietly through the darkness of a hallway outside the room.We finally got outside in the cold and dark night. There was a car standing close-by with two men carr
Will 🍁After the party I went straight to my car to drive home and rest my head. I sat in and closed the door when a gun slowly pointed to my head“don't look back” the masculine voice said“how did you—”“—don't ask questions either” the voice warnedI exhaled and sat still“drive and follow the GPS” he said and I slowly started the car. The GPS turned on and I sighed again. How did he even get into the car talk more of setting the GPS?I began to drive, following the GPS with the gun firmly resting against my head. I would have tried those skills in action movies where they grab guns but I couldn't for two reasons, first this is reality and second, I'm a romance actor not Vin Diesel.I kept driving till we got out of Manila. I was scared, I tried to do something to help myself but I knew t
Mari 🍁I was no longer comfortable. I felt suddenly hot and thirty“are you okay? You look tense all of a sudden” Fred asked and I laughed“I'm fine. Come on focus, the bride and groom are about to kiss” I said with a fake smile. He stared at me as if he didn't believe me before looking forward. I didn't expect him to believe me though, I was terrible at pretending and besides, my face looked sad already.The couple kissed and turned to look at us. Everyone stood up to clap and cheer except me, I was absentminded“Mari” Fred whispered“uhh? Oh oh. I'm sorry” I quickly said as I was standing up. They walked through the aisle amidst the cheers and the guests started walking out too, heading for the wedding party“isn't my cousin beautiful?” he asked“very. Very beauti
Mari🍁I woke up in a hospital with eyes so dull and heavy I almost decided not to open them. I saw a girl sleeping with her head resting on a table close to the wall. At first I didn't recognize her but I later realized it was Eliza.“Eliz... Eliza... Eliza” I called weakly. I moved my hand from my stomach to the bed“Eliza” I called again while hitting my hand gently on the bed. She stirred a little“Wake up Elizabeth” I said and she yawned and sat up“Eliza”She opened her eyes and stayed at me without recognition. She was still turning on her system.I stared at her and waited for her to resume. Few seconds later she gasped“Mari! Oh my God! My honey pie” she cooed and got up from the chair immediately. She ran to me and hugged me gently
Wilbur I smiled as I watched Mari open a candy and put it in her mouth. She must be waiting for someone because she leaned over on her car and crossed her arms. I could see her face clearly and I couldn't help but smile at her face. She's so beautiful. “I miss you” I muttered and brought out my phone. I took pictures of her through my windscreen. I began to look through them and when I lifted my face, I saw that she had already stood straight and was looking towards the bank. A man was walking out and he walked straight to her and held her hand. I didn't hear what they were saying but with their expressions she was upset and he was apologizing. Who is he? I don't remember Mari having male friends or relations. I watched as she took whatever was in his hand and entered her car. She drove away leaving the guy who now stood akimbo. He shook his head and called a taxi which took him away
WillI stood outside, leaning on my car and watched as Mari walked out. The light from the restaurant was reflecting on her tears and I palmed my face. I can't believe I had to do that.She entered her car and didn't drive out immediately. She spent close to ten minutes in there and if my guess is correct, she was crying her eyes sore. I felt like running to her car and pulling her out, then tell her it was all a silly prank.“nice job. Now go home” a voice I recognize as Derulo said behind me. I scoffed and turned to look at him standing with three other men“what are you? Demon?” I asked and he laughed“I wish” he said and brought out his hands from his pocket“I've done what you said I should do, now I hope you stay away from her.” I said“you know we don't fail promises. We promised we'd k
