Always Be Mine Chapter 15
Maya's P.O.VAs excited as I was to get the next morning started, it was hard to get myself out of bed, considering I had less than one hour of sleep. Consider it a nap. My nose draws in a deep breath as my body stretches out as far as it can, a feeling of pleasure running through my body. With the bright sunlight piercing through the thin curtains, I tried my hardest to prop myself out of bed. I turned around, ready to wake Leah up, but saw the space next to me was empty. I sent her a quick text asking where she was.I was miraculously not hungover despite drinking yesterday night, which I took as a sign of God telling me to have fun and let loose for once. I took down a few aspirins just in case it starts hitting me later on in the day, which I couldn't afford happening. With a full day of traveling ahead, I had to make sure I wasn't in the worst mood possible.Trying my hardest to get out of bed, I took a shower to wake myself up before dressing quickly. With the keys jingling in

Maya's P.O.VSeemingly hours later, the pilot spoke into the plane intercom, announcing that we'd be landing in twenty minutes. We gathered all our items as I try to hold in my excitement.Walking out of the plane, I was surprised that the pilot had come out of his cabin to greet all the passengers - and when I say all, I mean every single one."Have a wonderful day," he repeated.Leah catches up to me and links her arm in mine, looking at me with a wide grin on her face. The idea of being in Paris for a week left me feeling like I was on cloud nine. I couldn't wait to enjoy the long breakfasts, sitting by the balcony of the hotel, and a whole lot of sightseeing.1After a long and hectic episode at the airport, we finally managed to get out of the airport. Disembarking onto the bus and to the hotel that Ms. Wilson booked for us, I get a whiff of a familiar masculine scent.I turned around to see Ethan taking the seat beside me. I shifted in my place so that I was facing the window. T

I applied the finishing touches of my makeup before shoving all the essentials into my bag. Normally, I would wake up early enough to take my time but considering that I came back late yesterday, I barely had enough sleep.Within less than twenty minutes, I was fully dressed and heading for the elevator.Relief washed over my face as I still see some students heading out of their room. I walked quickly to the elevator, and the moment the doors flung open, I see Ethan with a bright smile plastered across his face. He was wearing a polo shirt and a pair of shorts which emphasized his big build.He reaches out and pulls me into the elevator, breaking me out of my thoughts, or before I finished checking him out. I quickly looked away, but his amusement was obvious. He definitely knew that I was staring at him.As I stood momentarily, I felt his strong arms wrap around my body. "You look beautiful today."I leaned against his body and whispered into his ears. "You do too.""Is that why you

Ethan's P.O.VI carefully roll to the side to look at Maya staying fast asleep, her breathing slowing down and soft snores coming out of her mouth. The only movement was the slight rise and fall of her chest. She looked incredibly peaceful and beautiful, even after an eventful night. I wanted nothing more than to curl up into the curve of her body and stay there forever.God, I hope she knows how whipped I am for her.It wasn't because of Maya's gorgeous face, not her smile, or even her eyes that made me fall in love with her. All that was the surface, an added bonus to what was within.It was about the deeper stuff that made her different from everyone else, the way she was so gentle with everything, how she took math so seriously, and the way she showed her love in the most surprising way.I caressed her face, mentally chuckling to myself. It was hard to imagine that an hour ago, she was vigorously gulping down beer and face buried deep in the toilet seat. Actually, it was surprisin

Maya's P.O.VSlowly and reluctantly, I blink my eyes and uncover my face to the streaks of sunlight that penetrated through the window. As the sun rises and casts warm tones into my room, I feel something new. It's as if all the negative emotions have fleeted away, and there isn't a single reason to feel despair anymore.After all the restless nights, I finally had a full day of sleep. My eyes were no longer tired, and my dark circles were fading away.All the thoughts from yesterday played in my mind, and without noticing, a broad smile grew on my face. Never did I think I was going to wake up with an automatic smile plastered on my face. I wouldn't even be surprised if I slept with this smile. Last night was one of the best nights of my life, and I owed it all to Ethan.7My finger tapped on the screen, ready to send Ethan a message. Although I had nothing important to say, I couldn't wait any longer to see him.My first thought was to send him a text asking him to hang out, but the

Maya's P.O.VThe elevator door finally flung open, and Ethan stood there, his daws bristly and jutting. He glanced at me without the slightest flicker or awareness whatsoever, which shows me that our separation didn't affect him as much as it did to me.Of course, why would he remember someone that he barely dated for a few weeks?Unlike me, he had thousands of girls lined up and waiting to be his next interest, so why would he be upset about losing someone as insignificant as me?I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt the urge to cry. I bit down on my lips to stop any tears that were about to come out. Maybe I was just overwhelmed with everything and exhausted from traveling. All I wanted was to go back, sit on my table, finish assignments, and drink a warm cup of milk tea - what I've been doing my whole life.As Ms. Wilson did a final count and made us do our final reflections of the trip, she reminded us that our final exam would be about this trip and a Movable Feast.If it were a

Maya's P.O.VThere were moments in life where I suddenly felt as if the world was slowly disappearing right in front of my eyes. Or was it just me that was fading away. All I wanted to do was just run away from everyone and be by myself.For weeks on end, I try to bury myself in endless amounts of work and assignments to forget the pain, but it wasn't easy. No matter how many million times I try not to remind myself, the pain was real.Apart from going to school, I try to leave my room as much as possible when needed for tasks such as getting groceries, dry cleaning, and gas station. I spent most of my time in school hidden in the library. With the semester coming to an end, I threw myself entirely into finals. With myself in complete shut down from the world, I rarely thought about Ethan when I was studying.Even if I were at home, I'd still viciously study to keep my mind away from him. But then when it was time for me to sleep, no matter how hard I refused to think about him, whene

Maya's P.O.VAs everyone tried to make it into class before the teacher noticed that they were late, I watched as Ethan took a seat at the table next to mine.He was merely five feet away and facing my direction."We have a new student today," our teacher introduced, "come in, Celine."In walked a beautiful girl, probably Latin, with high cheekbones and an admirable shyness to her. She had the right physique and hair to have guys waiting in line for her, which only made me even more insecure. Not only did I have Leighton to worry about, but now I had Celine to look out for."Nice to meet you," she said and waved at the class, her perfect crimson hair resting right above her shoulder.I could see a few guys whispering amongst each other, most likely discussing who was going to call dibs on her. Swallowing the lump rising in my throat, I looked over to see if Ethan was one of those guys.Ethan sat quietly for a brief moment appearing unaffected by the goddess that just walked into the r

Ethan's P.O.VIf someone told me years ago that I'd find the love of my life and get married on the beach, I'd think you were crazy. But now that it was becoming a reality, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck lift in excitement as the limo pulls up to the resort where our wedding is being held.Maya has always dreamed of having her wedding on the beach and who was I to protest against it?The driver walks around and opens the door for me. "I wish you all the best on your special day."I sent him a nervous smile and tipped him. "Thank you. Have a great day!"The warm glow of sunlight rested upon my shoulders. Today, Maya was going to become my wife. God, I don't think I'll ever get tired of thinking her that way.Upon entering the room, the atmosphere was buzzing with excited chatter as children ran around between the tables. Since our wedding was on the beach, there was a pleasant breeze that rustled in the surrounding trees. Sweet strains of classical music drifted through the cr
Always Be Mine Chapter 53 epilogue
Dear Ethan,I suppose that since you're reading this letter, it means that I've decided to come to the airport to send you off. If I'm going to be completely honest, I didn't think I was going to go. Not because I hate you, but because I didn't know how I'd react seeing you leave. I have so many mixed feelings that I can hardly wonder where to start when it comes to saying goodbye.Being a hopeless romantic, I believe that everyone deserves a chance at love. It might sound silly, but after the countless romance novels and movies that I've watched, how can I not?My whole life, I believed the definition of love was two people being romantically attracted to each other and living happily ever after.Oh, how wrong I was.Ever since I could remember, I was known as the girl with very good grades, and I can't deny the fact that it was in fact true. I absorbed every material teacher taught with ease and excelled in tests. I know how to describe the process of protein synthesis in detail and

Ethan's P.O.VI gaze at my reflection in the mirror, taking in that this was going to be one of the very last times I get to do this. Was it weird to say that I'm going to miss this mirror?Or this bedroom.Or my everyday routine.My friends.My life here.My shoulders tighten when I hear a knock on my door, yet I felt relieved as the knock probably spared me from what would have been hours of overthinking.Hurrying over, I opened the door to see my dad standing in front of me. I was sủprised, to say the least. The last time he knocked on my door was when mom was still alive, which was years ago. And for the first time, he doesn't reek of alcohol and cigarettes."So, your flight to London is today?" he asked, still standing outside.I nodded. "At one.""You packed everything?"He sounded like he actually cared, which worries me."Yeah, I'm done packing.""That's good."A heavy silence fell and we stood there facing each other for what seemed like an eternity.His voice came out in a h

Maya's P.O.VThe exam week passed in a blur.My face was so deeply buried in textbooks that I had no recognition of what was going on around me. My friends would ask me to hang out, but I'd always end up declining. Time was precious, especially when exams were so close, which meant I couldn't let myself waste it.I could slightly recall the tingle I felt when I walked into the exam room. I hated being in exam conditions. It was suffocating.But I got over it anyways.Couldn't say the same about my break up with Ethan though.A few days later, we received our end of year school reports, which included the final exam grades that I studied so hard for. I let the happiness soak into my bones as I savored in my perfect final exam grades. All A's — except for that one A-minus — but I wasn't going to beat myself over it. For the first time in weeks, I finally felt relaxed. No more vigorous studying, no more deadlines, no more schedules to meet.Also no more relationship.After our exams, sen
Always Be Mine Chapter 50
Maya's P.O.VThe loneliness I felt was beyond anything I have ever felt. Before I knew it, my life changed significantly in very little ways, and in such a short period of time that it affected me more than I thought it would. Nobody brought up the conversation about Ethan again, nor dared to mention his name when I was around.Instead of spending all-day around people, I've become more introverted every since our breakup. I spend most of my days flipping through textbooks and rewriting my notes. One week prior to our exams, our teachers usually gave us free time in class to study, but everyone just procrastinated or talked amongst themselves. Nobody actually studied — except me.Being someone that couldn't study in a loud environment, I've asked the teachers to let me go to the library to study, so it's become a routine now. Just like every other day, I've headed to class for attendance before making my way to the library aka my second home."Look who's here," Jason said, approachi

Ethan's P.O.VI woke up the same way I had fallen asleep, tired, and emotionless. Rolling over to my nightstand, I removed the charging wire before checking my phone.Gabe: Wanna head to the gym today?It's not like I was going to do anything at home, so might as well.Ethan: Sounds good. Meet you there in an hour.Setting my phone to the side, I close my eyes. The moment I do, the image of Maya crawls into my head.It's been a week. One cold, lonely, and meaningless week of me avoiding her. I haven't replied to any of her texts, calls, and would head to the gym instead of eating lunch together at the cafeteria.This is what you have to do.As much as I don't want to, I have to.Grabbing whatever was closest to me, I buried my face deep into my pillow, screaming in the process. All this thinking was going to drive me crazy.I'm going to the gym. I'm going to gym out all my problems.Walking to my closet, I picked and changed into the first tank top and pair of shorts that I see. As I

Maya's P.O.VIt's been almost a week and not one single text from him.Even after a few days, I was still in a great deal of shock after my conversation with Ethan. In fact, it's eating me up so much that I couldn't even remember what I learned in class today. As much as I tried not to obsess over what he said, it seemed almost impossible considering I've sat on my table for thirty minutes and haven't started on any work yet."Honey, dinner's almost ready," my mom hollered from downstairs. Sucking up all the air in my lungs, I yelled back just as loud, if not louder. "Coming!"If I was going to be honest, I had no appetite whatsoever, but it would look suspicious if I didn't come down for dinner. My dad didn't even wait for my mom before stuffing his mouth with the cheese-filled lasagna. It was his all-time favorite so she would make them every Monday. Usually, families had their unhealthy cheat meals on Friday night, but not in this household. My mom believes that since Monday wa

Ethan's P.O.VI glanced around to see where they were sitting before easing my way towards them. From far away, I could already hear the guys talking about which girls they thought were hot, and what they did after prom (which I'd prefer not to say).Scanning the table, the moment I laid eyes on Maya, a part of me couldn't believe that this gorgeous girl was my girlfriend. She was wearing a light-colored floral top that complemented her figure well. My gaze slowly traveled down and I take in her tight skinny jeans. My god."I love your outfit today," I said, giving her a quick peck on the lips. Her cheeks flamed as she tried to hide her smile. "Hey."Maya stared up at me as I slide into the seat net to her. She shifted her eyes to me, and the worry plastered on her face didn't go unnoticed.She shoved a fry in her mouth. Why was she worried? "You okay?" I asked.Once I settled down, I squeezed her thigh for reassurance, but she didn't muster up a reply. I tried to let it go until th

Maya's P.O.VLeah and Connor dropped us off before heading to the back to park the car. Right away, I noticed that everyone was super dressed up As I stepped out of the door, I felt a rush of cool air hit my body. God, I should have brought a coat with me or something. While we waited for Leah and Connor, I tried hard not to shift around and I was pretty sure he noticed considering he put his arm around my shoulder. "You okay?" Ethan asked, "you look nervous.""Just a bit," I smiled, "I've never actually worn anything like this before, especially in front of so many people."His brow wrinkled as he shook his head. "That's crazy, there's nothing to worry about. You're the most beautiful girl here."I frown. "That's a lie.""Well, my eyes are only going to be on you tonight so technically, it's not a lie," he shrugs casually. I guess it makes sense..."Are you ready?" he asked.I smiled and nodded as he intertwined our hands together. The moment our hand makes contact, a wave of ha
