Gabriel's
"Aren't you afraid that you'll go to rust, Gab? I mean, it's already three weeks that you haven't dated someone! That is so not you!" The busybody Marvin said before gulping down his beer and all I can do is give him a stern look but did not utter any word either. They've been asking me such question for the past 3 weeks now and I'm at my limit, seriously. Not because I felt insulted or what but because I don't know the answer either!
It's been 3 weeks since Maze came and I don't think it's a coincidence that I've also lost my interest on playing with other girls after he came to the picture. I've been trying to avoid looking at him because I feel like my feeling's in danger and also because I can clearly see that he doesn't like me being around him.
We haven't been in this bar for 2 weeks, yet Top invited us this morning because it's his birthday and who am I to decline my best senior's invitation? And so, I had no
Gabriel's"Our first song for tonight is dedicated to our birthday boy, of course." Maze smiled before looking at Top. "Happy birthday, Brother." I don't know but Maze's voice when he said that is really far from his indifferent tone. He sounded so sincere and his smile this time looks genuine. I tried looking at his eyes while he's adjusting the microphone and couldn't help but to stare at it even if he's not looking at me.Yeah, sure. It's obvious that he's happy for Top. But I will never know if he's ever really happy when it comes to his self. I mean, look at those eyes when it's not looking at anyone. It may seemed blank but it's actually full of hidden emotions that no one would know if no one would dare. I see how he smiled once again before looking at the crowd."This is Have it all by Jason Mraz." He said while before looking at his band mates and nodding at them.I don't know how to expla
Gabriel'sI can't help but frown when Adan blocked Maze's way when they're on their way to our table.'I knew it.'But when I saw Maze's indifferent stare at Adan, I can't help but to feel glad as well. Guess, I'm not the only one on Maze's bad side.'Who's laughing now, Adan?'"What is it?" Maze sounded so disinterested but of course, Adan being a persistent flirt didn't mind his cold shoulder at all and even pushed Mark aside to stand beside Maze."Have Mark already told you about my proposal?" He even put his elbow on Maze's shoulder as if they're close and I can feel myself about to lose it all. Man, I can't even stand beside Maze but this man had the guts to make some skinship!Maze stared at his elbow coldly that made him realized that he shouldn't be touching him at all so he smiled awkwardly before moving a little bit away from Maze a
Maze's"Gab! C'mon! You can't be like this! Haven't you learned your lesson?" Mark and I were waiting for Top outside the bar when we heard Mike scolding a drunk Gab. Kevin and Mike are helping each other to carry him as he is too drunk that he can't even walk properly and just keeps on muttering incoherent words. I looked at Mark and he seemed worried but not about Gab but Mike. I can see Mike and Kevin having a hard time carrying him as he was a big guy."Where's Barry and Marvin?" Mark asked Mike so he looked at us before smiling but his smile immediately turn into a wince when Gab almost fell from their grip."They went home ahead of us since Marvin is also drunk and Barry had to take him home." Mike answered and Mark nodded. "Gab, please. Don't be like this." Mike whined once again."Tsk. Tsk. Stupid brat. You already know that someone had sneak into your room last time you're like this yet you got yourse
Maze's"You sure you don't need help?" Top said as I adjusted Gab's arms around my neck. He's still hugging me as if he doesn't want to let go of me and it's getting harder for me to keep my cool with every touch.But asking for Top's help is really useless cause he really can't help me remove Gab's arms around my neck. Or was I just really enjoying this contact?'Tsk. Of course not!'I looked at Top with knitted brows and tried to look a bit consumed of Gab's clinginess but the truth is, I don't feel anything except for my pounding heart and twitching stomach."Then, I'll let you take him to his room. By the way, the keys on his jacket. See you tomorrow!" He said and I nodded."Bye, Birthday Boy." I waved at him and he chuckled before winking at me."Good luck!" He said before driving away and I waited for h
Maze's"You look as if you had a blast last night and didn't get enough sleep because of it." Top jested when he came to pick me up the next morning. I know what he's talking about cause I really looked like a panda when I looked at the mirror this morning. I didn't sleep last night because my mind is too occupied of what happened."Shut up." I snapped at him before getting inside the car and leaning the back of my head on the car seat."Aow, seems like you woke up on wrong side of the bed. That's new. Everyone who had slept with him always say that his aftercare is wonderful--""I did not sleep with him Top! And that'll never happen! Can we just go now?! Please!" I can't help but to raise my voice at him as I feel my head throbbing whilst listening to him.He seemed shock upon my sudden outburst but knowing me, I'm sure he understood that I'm not in the mood fo
Gabriel's"You've been keeping that face for almost a week now, Gab. Seriously, what's wrong?" Kevin asked one afternoon while we're having our late lunch.It has been a busy week for all of us. The three idiots and their block came up with the idea of putting up the undying marriage booth as their fundraiser. And Mike and I were like, that's all? That's all you can think of? They could've at least put some twist on it but then, surprisingly, the board approved their proposal with much of their luck, if you ask me. Barry said that he and Marvin is too lazy to dig deeper into their creative minds but for all we knew, it doesn't have any creativity at all.They actually tried to get even with us for mocking their idea upon knowing the booth we proposed as our fundraiser. Well, it's a photo booth but with a twist. Instead of simply taking a picture of the client, the client would give us a name of a person that he or
Gabriel'sI was awaken by the loud ring from my phone. So I grunted while reaching for it on my bedside table and look at the caller ID. I can't help but to feel curious as to why Top would call me this early. It's the first day of U Week. Our call time is 9:00 am and it's just 8:00 am so I think that the call is urgent so I answered it."Hello?" I greeted the other line with my morning voice."Finally!" He exclaimed causing me to move my phone away from my ear and look curiously at the auditive."Hey! I just woke up! Don't scream!" I shouted back before putting my phone back against my ear. I even heard him laugh."Sorry. I just wanna ask if you had seen Maze? Their call time is 8:00 am and their performance will be at 9:30 am but then, he's still not here. The other members are already here and they are all nagging me for not picking him up." Top said and I frowned before getting
Gabriel'sI swallowed a couple of times as I feel the tension growing here at the backstage. Everyone who heard what the man said to Maze were utterly shocked. Well, I can't blame them. We just found out that Maze came from a well off family and that he's definitely a high profile person and they are all probably curious as to why Maze kept all these things but that's not the most surprising thing of it all. It's the fact that his father is still alive and Top lied to us when he said that Maze's parents are both dead.But why would he do that?And to sum it all, I can see from their reactions, especially on Maze's friends that this is not a good thing at all. That this is not a happy reunion between a dad and his son as I can see Maze fuming while looking at his dad.But why?Maze's reaction is full of resentment towards the man in front of him. It seems like seeing him was the las
"Gab, let's talk." Maze said as he put his briefcase on top of their bed. Gabriel was busy reading a book while sitting on their bed when Maze arrived from work.Maze is quite consumed right now. He just got a call from Top while he's on his way home. The guy was ranting about how his son learned a bad word after spending a day with Gab.Tim just exclaimed the 'f' word when Top hit the brake and there's only one suspect for that. But instead of calling Gab, he talked it out with Maze and told him that he should teach his wife a lesson.'Tsk. As if that would change his cussing mouth.'Maze looked at Gab who's still immersed with the book he's reading. It's been 7 years since they settled down and is now living in their dream house. It was a blissful married life for the both of them.Though, they encountered a lot of conflicts during those times, that didn't changed their fee
Gabriel's"Aaargh! I hate him!" I grunted, pertaining to my great boyfriend as I take the seat in front of Top's executive table.He didn't say anything so I looked at him and saw that he's busy with his phone and he looks like he's having fun while texting someone which made me more upset.'Grrr. Why do people nowadays seems to have no time to at least listen to me?! Am I becoming less significant to them?!'I can't help but to pout and cross my arms against my chest because of the thought.Maze has been totally ignoring me for a week now! He barely got time for me and he often come home late from work. It's getting too often and it got me thinking that Maze has something else to be busy with aside from managing the bar and being a Clinical Psychologist.He can't be really busy with the bar since Mark and Top is helping him and base from what I can see with
Maze's"Nervous?" I asked Gab though it's already obvious.I can see that he cannot settle himself at the passenger's seat and has been fidgeting his finger ever since we left the dorm. He looked at me and he smiled awkwardly."I-i don't know what to tell her once we're already there." He honestly said and I can't help but laugh because of how cute he is."C'mon, Gabriel. It's not as if you'll be having a chitchat with my Mom." I said and he winced at me."Maze! Of course I want to look presentable and deserving in front of your Mom! You can't expect me to be confident! I'm only second to her when it comes to the people you love." He grunted and even wrinkled his nose which made him cuter.It's now obvious that he's sulking because I made fun of his nervousness. Well, you can't blame me. This wife of mine is about to meet my Mom at her grave for the fir
Gabriel's"My dad left us 6 years ago. Before that, I can notice that he's becoming cold and indifferent to my mom. Then one day, he told me that he'll be gone for just 3 days for an overseas transaction and guess what? He never came back. He lied. And how stupid I am to believe him." I told Maze while trying to hold back my tears.He's looking at me intently and I can see that he's eager to listen to me as I tell him about my past while we're both lying face to face on his bed. His arms are wrapped around my waist and I can see that he's not planning to let me go any time soon.And I am not complaining. I need this. I need him as I relive the pain from my past."Life without him is hard. Especially for my Mom. She had kept everything all by herself cause she's afraid that I won't be able to handle the truth about my father abandoning us for another woman. She always tell me, she's
Gabriel'sI saw how he smiled at me as he started singing and all I did is to stay standing in front of him, the full moon is shining down at us making this moment more romantic and majestic as Maze's beautiful voice surrounded the place."When, when we came homeWorn to the bonesI told myself, 'this could get rough'And when, when I was offWhich happened a lotYou came to meAnd said, 'that's enough'"His eyes never left mine.And all I can feel right now is the overflowing love that I have for this man in front of me. I never knew that I would actually be able to feel this kind of love towards anyone but then I'm glad to have felt it. I'm glad to have this feelings only for Maze."And oh, I know that this love is painBut we can't cut it from out these veins, no"My rapid heartbeat doubled when he started singing the ch
Gabriel'sI felt my whole body ache and it made me groaned."Gab?" I heard a familiar voice calling my name so I slowly opened my eyes only to see Top looking at me worriedly and I frowned at him as I feel the pain all over my body as if I've been crushed by a wrestler.It was then I remembered what happened before I passed out.I saw Adan kissing Maze so I ran away to leave but then, when I was running to get to our dorm, three guys pulled me in the dark alley and started beating the hell outta me without any reason. I still remember how every punch and kick felt and it made me winced in pain."Gab, tell me. Aside from body pain, do you happen to feel dizzy?" I looked at the one who asked me and saw Crimson's face."What are you doing here in my room?" I asked while frowning. I still remember how he hugged Maze and how he told us that he's Maze's boyfr
Maze's"Stellar Tower, executive suite 126." Mark said on the other line when he's finally able to elicit some information from Adan about my Dad's whereabouts at the moment.Well as the son of a Major, it's not hard for him to use some of his father's subordinates just to get the information he wants.So here I am, driving Top's car on the way to one of the famous hotels here just to finally set things over with my Dad. And this time, I'll make sure that he won't be able to hurt me nor Gab anymore.I'm so done with this miserable life with him. I deserve to be happy. That's what my Mom wants for me. To finally be happy and believe in love.'Mom, I promise to have a better love than yours.'"Sir, you cannot come in if you don't have an appointment with Mr. King--" The receptionist and one of the guards tried to stop me but then some of my father's men who happen to
Maze's"Hmm." I looked at Top when he offered me a cup of coffee after he went outside to grab a snack while I stay in my room with Crim and Gab who's still unconscious til now. He also gave a cup to Crimson who's sitting at my couch and Top sat beside him while I remain seated beside Gab to keep him close. I put the cup of coffee on my bedside table while still looking closely at Gab.Crimson was the one to give him first aid before we brought him here in my dorm. I can't afford to bring him to the hospital cause I know that my father is still keeping a keen eye to every of our movements. That's why we decided to just call Barry's friend who's a doctor at the community hospital.Dr. James said that Gab's vital is now stable and he just needs some rest. He also said that the reason why he passed out is because of exhaustion plus the pain of getting beaten up.He prescribed some pain meds for Gab be
Maze's"Maze! Where are you going?! What happened?!" Top asked when I'm about to leave alone.But then, I remember that I have them. That I have my friends. And just like what Gab had taught me. I don't have to deal with everything alone. I looked at all of them and same as me, they all looked worried.Well except from Crimson, Heather and Royce. They looked clueless about who Gab is but I have no more time to explain.I need to find Gabriel.And for the first time in my life, I'll ask for other people's help."Guys." My voice cracked upon saying that. "I-i need your help." I said before giving them a pleading look."My, my. I thought you're invincible, Maze." I looked at Adan who's still on the ground. "Seems like Gab has became your Achilles heel. But I thought you don't love him?" He keeps on blabbering but before I could even hit him, Top
