A Desire To Last A Lifetime 31- "Ethan..."
SUNDAY morning and it was my day off so I went to church.After the mass, I went straight to the mall and do some window shopping to breathe some cool air. Next week is when my salary is scheduled to be given, so for the time being, I'd just window shop."Tamara?"When I heard my name, I looked in the direction of the familiar voice. At first, he looked hesitant but when I turned to face him, his expression brightened and he made a wide smile."Tan!""Tamara, it's really you!"He hugged me gently in his friendliest manner."Can't believe I'll see you here! What are you doing here in San Pablo?"I smiled and shrugged. "Well, obviously... hiding.""What? Why?" He was a little confused, but that was just for a while. “Oh yeah, you left Calamba and didn’t leave any trace, and that’s maybe the reason why you’re here.”I sighed and nodded. I was happy, anyway, to have seen and bumped into him today in this place unexpectedly. He’s Ethan and one of our close friends in our circle."It's actu
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 32- "Sensible."
To be honest, I could still remember that there was a time long ago when he actually showed motive into pursuing me and hitting on me to become his girlfriend, it was just that I had to turn him down because I see him as a friend and like almost every boy in our group, I treat all of them as my brothers, so I never wanna get involved in any romantic relationship with any of them and then ruin our friendship later on. And I never regretted my decisions, I never had any issues with them and we’re still close friends up to date. I’m so supportive and happy for them whenever they find a woman who could make them smile for life.Back to reminiscing, I laughed smoothly and shook my head. I didn't want to give malice to what Ethan said to motivate me because we’re friends and maybe he’s just like that to all of his friends.“Thanks, Ethan! That’s well-appreciated.” I meant it, seeing this kind of motivation as a cheer from a close friend who wanted to make me feel good to lessen my anxiety
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 33- "Stupid cupid."
I grinned and shook my head humbly as I continued with my meal.Midway through it, I had the uneasy feeling that I was being watched by a pair of sharp eyes. Even though it was cold in the mall, I felt hot for some reason!In an effort to determine the source of my uneasiness, I focused my gaze on Ethan and realized that the only other person who could have possibly caused me to feel this way was sitting at a table just four seats away from us.Fabio's intense stare made me feel like he was going to devour me. I noticed him gritting his jaw and clenching his teeth.Unthinkingly, I averted my gaze and made every effort to avoid meeting his penetrating eyes. His menacing glare made me nervous that I might suddenly lose control of my senses."You okay? Why does it seem like you suddenly saw a ghost?" Ethan asked with confusion.Oh, what ghost? Fabio’s definitely not a ghost but rather a monster!I shook my head and forced a smile. “I’m okay, Tan. It’s nothing.”He didn’t appear to be con
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 34- "Obligation."
I struggled to be freed from Fabio’s grip but to no avail."I'm your boss. You are obliged to follow whatever my order is, and now, I'm telling you... let's go."Instantly, my worry turned to anger. I know he's my boss, but I know there's a limit to everything in the world and that includes him giving an order on me on my freaking day off!"Yes, you are my boss but it's my day off, have you forgotten about that? And holy cow, we're not even inside of your d*mn premises so I can do whatever I want whether I follow you or not!"Finally, those words seemed to have made him back to his senses and he let go of my hand.I caressed the part of my hand that he just had a grip. “We’re not in your office and don’t forget I’m not your secretary today so I don’t have any obligation to you and you just can’t dictate to me what should or not should I do! I know my basic human rights so don’t start with me your bullsh*ts!”He didn't speak, and just stared at me while I snapped all of these things at
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 35- "Impatient!"
Venice, for the nth time, made me laugh. Such a clown!“You know what? If that’s what you want to believe then fine! Inject that in your delusional mind as your daily dose and live with it forever. I don’t care and I don’t have to explain anything to you, especially since your empty brain couldn’t even comprehend any word I say, so what’s the use, right?”She glared deadly at me. I grinned. The heck I was threatened, like ‘Oh! I’m so scared!’ Really. Cough, sarcasm.As a response, I looked at her from head to toe. I couldn’t even seem to figure out why she was head over heels for Christian and ready to pick a fight with any girl who would get close to him and she would see them as a threat including me, of course, like it’s so obvious! Why does she have to be this insecure when in fact, from an honest perspective, she has actually got a pretty face, too. She looks good with that straight bob-styled hair with full bangs and then with her cleavage-showing, short and hugging dress, and
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 36- "Too hard."
Despite being totally annoyed, I still managed to be cool…"Alright. I’m sorry. I'll be just back later on when you’ll call me." I was about to turn around to go outside when the Deputy General Manager immediately interfered."Tamara, it's fine. Give it to him,” she gently instructed, referring to the folder I was still holding.Fabio, sitting at his table, stared at me with a blank expression.I smiled at Natasya and nicely shook my head. "It's okay, Miss. I just come back later.”“I assure you, it’s no problem, Tami. After all, you went all the way here to give that to the General Manager, right? So, go ahead.”I was hesitant but ultimately decided to adhere to Natasya. What she said was accurate. I intended to send this.Averting my eyes, I walked over to my boss's desk and placed the folder on.He gave me a long, blank stare at me before finally reaching for the folder on the table and opening it.He frowned as he delivered his eyes on me again.As expected!Somebody as wicked as
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 37- "Stained."
Deputy General Manager turned to me.“If it were me? I wouldn’t really allow somebody to do that, Tami. Even if he’s my boss. If I were in your shoes, I would’ve even thrown those papers right in his face!” She softly chuckled with her own joke as she continued to speak for me.I faintly smiled in response. Actually, I was already thinking of doing that before she could mention it and I was only waiting for my temper to completely lose and gain all strength and anger to throw these papers at the General Manager’s evil face.Meanwhile, Fabio still remained with that poker face as he was looking at me and then at his sister, and then at me again.“Now, give that to him, Tami, and you can go back to your desk because for sure, you still have many other things to do than printing papers and keep on going back and forth inside this office for Fabio’s unending demands.”I followed. A bit hesitant when I looked at him and he was staring at me blankly, I put the folder on his table.Natasya g
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 38- "Gold-digging."
I was a bit startled by how she could afford to be this harsh on me in front of other people who were already having their attention on us both. For the love of life, she was even belittling me!D*mn! This is very scandalizing and shameful!No matter what, I chose to remain cool and extend my patience to not be rude publicly.Alright, so she didn't want the money for the laundry and she even bragged about not mind buying another dress because she could obviously afford it, so why still fussed?"Then at least let me pay for the dress you'd be buying in replacement of that one I stained so that I could make it up to you and we could be quits," I still offered.She laughed as if that was the biggest joke she ever heard. "I doubt you could afford its price, girl."I couldn't speak anything anymore since I knew she had a point. In my current life as of this moment, I work hard for every single centavo and without the connection of my family and the money from Davis, it would be hard for me
