“hi” I said amongst tussled breath. I'm so nervous, so nervous.

His eyes held surprise as he looked down at my face then at my dress then back to my face

“Gold” he mumbled and I smiled

“I.. Well, I just.. came to say..” I stammered, not knowing what exactly to tell him about my reason for standing in front of his door by 9pm.

‘‘come in”

He held my hand and pulled me in then closed the door

“wow” I muttered when my eyes caught sight of his living room. It's really large and beautiful. So luxurious

“let me guess why you're here” he said and dropped the glass in his hand on the centre table

“Winifred” he said and I laughed and clutched unto my purse

“come, sit” he motioned to the cush

    I feebly knocked on the door and hoped Eliza was still around. Soon the door opened and she smiled at me“hey” I said with a smile“you have to tell me everything. Everything...” she said and drew me in then closed the door“so how did it go?” she asked“lovely. Take this... It's from Will” I said and stretched the paper bag to her“Wilbur? You met with him?”“yeah” I answered and straightened my hair“gosh it's barbecue” she whispered happily“let's go inside” I dragged her hand into my room“I'm so tired”“tell me everything” Eliza said and I smiled and sat down“okay.. Well at the restaurant, we were eating seafood...”***

    “she's my roommate” I answered and hugged myself because I was getting cold, from the open door“do you know how she fainted? Did she see you?” I asked and looked at him“yes she did, I even told her I was looking for you” he replied“no wonder” I mumbled. She definitely fainted seeing a top celebrity standing in front of her house door and asking her a question“are you going to leave her here or...”“of course I'm leaving her here. I'll just close the door” I cut in and sniffed. I closed the door and turned to him“so what are you doing here?” I asked“I thought I'd see you. Know how you're doing” he answered“well, I'm... I'm fine” I simply replied“you're sure? You don't look so go

    Wilbur"OH my God I can't believe this” she said as her arms wrapped around me. It's been awhile I had this type of encounter. I haven't really met up with fans for years, it's either I'm in my tinted car where they can't see me or I'm in a place they can't reach me“you're going to drain the air out of him Eliza” I heard Marigold's voice say. I looked up and she was standing there with her hands crossed“uhmm... Can I... Come in first?” I asked the hugging girl. She began to move backwards and I moved along until we both were inside and I shut the door with my free hand“Eliza, stop the hugging already” Goldie said as she walked towards us. She pulled her friend away from me and I released my breathe and exhaled“I'm so sorry, just that I'm so obsessed about you!” she squealed and in less than a second, she was hugging me aga

    No, I don't want Eliza to come with us. It's not because I don't want her company but I just want to be alone with Mari.“no no. You two go have fun. I have to cook for you. So I'll be here when you come back, just buy some snacks for me” Eliza said and my heart leaped for joy. Thank God“are you sure?” Mari asked“yeah, super duper sure”“all right then. I'll go home and change then come back for you, okay?” I said to Mari and she nodded.“I'll go now” I said“I'll see you to the car” she declared and I nodded.We walked out of the room and luckily, no Simona in sight. We came out of the house and the neighborhood was empty.“how is Wini?” she asked“she's fine. I received her call earlier”“and how's that your best friend. Edward right?”

    I put on my cap and looked at her“what do we look like?” I asked and she chuckled“I already ordered drinks and snacks. So we'll just find a suitable place okay?”She nodded “okay”I came out of the car and opened hers for her“the only reason I'm letting you do that is because I don't know how to open your car from inside. It's like there's a button for it”I laughed and held her hand“I was going to teach you but if it would stop me from being able to open the door for you, then I'm not gonna teach you”“you're impossible”“haha”She adjusted her ponytail with her other hand. The face cap had no covering so her ponytail was bare.“wow, this is quite beautiful” she exclaimed as we walked towards the beach where people were.

    Wini's POVI watched as Will kept sighing repeatedly“come on, admit it. You love her” I said“I don't know Wini. I really don't know” he replied“this should be easy for you” I stated“I'm not following any script and there are no cameras pointing at me, there's no director telling me what to do so it ain't easy” he blotted out and ran his fingers through his hair“what do you feel when you're with her?” I asked, adamant on making him admit he loves Mari. He has to love her for my plan to work, he has to.“joy, and peace” he answered gently“do you ever want to leave her side?” he didn't answer“why don't you invite her over? Maybe to stay the week” I suggested and he looked up at me and chuckled“you'r

    Mari🌺I tossed around in bed, I was feeling hot. About ten minutes ago I was literally shivering and gnashing teeth because of cold. That was before I took my drugs. Just five minutes later I threw off the blankets and now I'm feeling like I should pour cold water on my bodyI stepped down from the bed and removed my socks, head warmer and scarf. I also stepped out of my cotton pyjama trousers that my mom gave me and out of my sweater too. I resulted to wearing only my undies and I then opened my window and removed my blankets from the bed. I laid down face up and breathed in. I was feeling tired.The telephone in the room rang and I got up. I picked it and it was Eliza📞hey girl! How are you doing tonight?📞I'm fine. How are you?📞I got into a fight with that Chinese girl again📞you know she knows Kung Fu right?📞haha. You'r

    Mari“gosh I just can't believe we're going to Wilbur's house! Isn't this amazing?” Eliza said as she brushed her hair downI was sitting on the bed arranging what we'd wear at the pool. Will will be here any moment to pick us“Mari, so Will actually said he was planning to invite me too” she said and I rolled my eyes.She's too excited“yes” I simply replied and sighed“aren't you nervous... A little?” she asked“not really?” I replied“you're not? But normally you'd be nervous about stuff like this” she asked, facing me“maybe it's because I've been to a pool party before and I know what it's like” I said and stood up“you never told me you've been to one” she stated and crossed her arms“it's not that I've b

    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.
