Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.
------------------------
I want to hear his response...
“I can assure you that. It's always you who has an unstable mind and emotion. I will break up with you if you choose your ex-lover again.”
Why are you attacking me with that reality?
I hate his mouth because it always attacks my character but I love those pouty lips to touch mine.
'I'm so flirty when it comes to Dean. Gosh! I am thinking of kissing him but... no! If someone would initiate a kiss, should it be him?!'
-------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------“Madam and sir are summoning you. Please proceed to the dining table.”“All right, nanny. Please tell them I will just take a shower. ”After the nanny left, I immediately took a shower. I hastened my action because my parents hate waiting. They will tell us again that every time we waste time, a lot of money is lost too, so we should be as productive as possible every time.“Good morning, mom and dad," says I.“So, how’s your life outside our mansion?&rdqu
-------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------I couldn’t sleep well because of dinner last night. I can’t believe that I was the only one who didn’t know what was going on, I felt so betrayed. That's why Arvin always says that I'm his future wife, it was a half meant joke after all. I didn't say a word last night since that dinner, I didn't want to talk to any of them first. I don’t want to hear Maurice and Arvin’s excuses. They have all the time to tell me, yet they choose to surprise me.I never had seen nor imagined Arvin as my partner in life because he is like a brother to me.The first time Arvin confessed was when Jr. We wer
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------"You should not let your guard down. What if it wasn't me and then a stranger hugged you suddenly and even kissed you." I pouted while scolding him for being not vigilant with his surroundings.“Shouldn’t I say the same thing? You shouldn't hug and kiss random people in the park, what if you mistook me for some stranger. What if that person is a maniac?"He wasn't wrong though? Meh ~ I can't be wrong because I've known little details about him. I know the last strand of his hair, what I am trying to say is I am accustomed to his build from head to toe. “Why would I make a mistake? I know my boyf
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------I went back home first before meeting Arvin. I need to settle things with my parents. We are currently at the table, and the silence is so deafening. Only the cutting of the cutlery on the plate prevails."I don't want that engagement," I said as I tried to open a conversation.Daddy dropped the knife by force, and he didn't even finish slicing the bread. He simply retaliated against me with a sharp look.“Listen here, young lady. We planned this even before you were born. We are ensuring a better future for you. Whether you accept it or not, you have no
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------I wonder why the dean had not messaged or rang my phone until the end of the semester break. Should I be worried? Don’t tell me he ghosted me? Our first official one-month together is only a few days from now, he is not ghosting me, right?I punched my pillow, now that I'm back in the dorm he didn't even meet me. Earlier I rang the doorbell in his unit, it's a good thing Mory didn't notice me. Speaking of Maurice I haven't seen him with Lore lately. Anyway, I'm busy thinking about the dean. Also, it's their personal life, I'm not a usual gossip neighbor.Suddenly my phone rang, I thought it was the dean, it was j
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------"Morning, Liah." Lore patted my back, my bestfriend's look exhausted, I could even see dark circles below her eyes. I heard she went on vacation to Siargao. I thought she's having fun there since she doesn't want to be disturbed, but why does she look like a living dead?“I’ve been calling you all vacation. I haven't heard your hi or hello. I didn't receive anything, I was seriously being ignored. Are you really my friend?" says I but it's nothing serious. It's our way of catching up.“Sorry, I’m just not in the mood. I just want to be alone. Are you worried? ”
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------“Liah, we need to talk.”Why do I feel nervous right now?His eyes are telling me that something is off, I don't know if it's just me overthinking or we are really in a silent war? If so, what could be the reason? I may have jumped to a conclusion, but sometimes our inner thoughts are correct.I glanced at Lore as she stood up, and before leaving me alone with the dean, she whispered, "Go, follow your man and fix your problem first. You don’t need to worry about my predicament.”
----------------Maximillan’s Point of view.--------------------I wanted to stop her from leaving my office earlier after saying those mean words, *Liah, let’s get things between us over. Please leave my office now, our succeeding conversation should be for academic purposes only.*I just flinched my hand. I don't want to be selfish and make Liah’s life even more complicated. She wouldn’t have a hard time hiding our relationship if I ended it right away before our feelings deepened. It is better to wake up before everything becomes a nightmare, it will hurt both of us, but we will heal at the right time.She didn't say anything, I expected her to think I was
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------We’re looking for a potential home hoping to find one nearby Lore's residence. Unfortunately, there are no more available houses or even lots at all.We dislike the two houses we visited because one has a bad view. While the other one has a small yard, and both are not in a good location.We are now heading to the last house we will inspect, and hopefully, it will be the last because I am tired, to be honest."What do you think of this one?" he said while pointing to the big house, it has two floors, and the outside is beautif
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I was standing alone in a vast garden when all of a sudden a voice had caught my attention.I was distracted when I heard the voice; it kept calling me ‘Daddy!’I couldn’t see the owner’s voice, so I followed the sound of weak laughter.“Come, find me.”I was confused because a new voice was calling me again. I turned around and found a boy standing behind me.
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I tried to close the gap between our faces when suddenly...~ tok ~ tokI almost cried in pain when my back hit the floor because she suddenly pushed me. I fell on the bed. Thus, the floor caught my back.“Brother, we are leaving. Please open the passcode,” Maurice said on the other side of our bedroom door.Good thing that they are leaving… so… I wonder if we can continue despite our ruined moment.I watched her leave as she approached the door until she closed the bedroom door. I deliberately showed that I was sulking or I wasn't in the mood. I frowned when I heard the bedroom door open. I kept quiet and waited for her to notice me or lie down on the bed to rest."Instead of frowning, how about you take the Durex out of the drawer?"
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------My brother and sister-in-law are hanging out today in our humble pad because there might be less chance of us seeing and comfortably bonding like this as they will live far from us."Who are you talking to?" Maurice asked lore. He noticed his wife was laughing while holding her phone.“Ah, I talked to my former classmate in a specialized course at Oxford. This acquaintance of mine is talking about the one who liked me last year. He's still broken.”"So?" Maurice asked with a frown, and his eyebrow furrowed.“That guy who liked me back then has a friend who was also broken-hearted because of Liah”"Who are you referring to?" I asked innocently. I don't remember anyone trying to woo me during my stay in Oxford.“Remember that guy who a
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------Watching a movie with Max without the fear of getting caught by my fellow students nor his fellow faculty is so rewarding. We never tried dating in a cinema or public place during university days back then. I didn't know it was worth the shot.We had used to just binge watch in his dormitory when he was my professor and our college dean. We have to avoid seeing familiar faces and getting entangled with gossip.I leaned my head on the shoulder of my betrothed while his right arm rested on my shoulder. We are not fond of romantic movies, so the genre we chose is mixed with action; since we both have the same taste in movies.
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I heard steps coming from sandals approaching me. However, I didn’t look back to see whoever came to me. I never lose my gaze at the motion of the cloud from here in the hotel garden."What are you doing here? Are you upset because you had to move your wedding to next year instead of getting married this year?”I turned around and smiled at mommy. We are never close, but I am not mad with my parents. We're just not close since they are always busy. Even though Maurice inherited daddy's company, we still didn't have the chance to bond with our parents, they never reached out, and the same goes for us. We only me
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------"Hey, what are you doing there?" I patted Maurice with my foot.“Liah”“It's late, why are you sleeping outside? Don’t tell me you forgot the passcode of your pad? Why don't you call me Lore?”"She changed the passcode and forbade me to let me in."I scratched my head as I tried to figure out what had happened to the two of them. Lore probably got mad at my twin again."Wait, I'll just put these i
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I stood in the body-sized mirror of the hotel where our wedding was being held. My heart was pounding as I listened to the sound of a large clock hanging on the wall.“This is it, liah. Today you will become Mrs. Dereux,” I whispered.Later I heard the door open. I turned around and saw a man holding the door, and I wondered why he wasn’t walking closer to me. He just stared at me from head to toe.I was nervous seeing his reaction, he was not the epitome of the happy man who's about to get married to the love of his life.“W-What’s wro
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------After quarreling, spending time together without worries is a must to fix the gap in our intimacy. We decided to spend quality time outside today because we've been busy these past few daysWe deserve this date. I want to do what we couldn't do when we were still at Elysian University. I want to go to those places that we couldn't go to when I was her dean and professor because we were afraid of backlash in our relationship.The first place we visited was the playground near MAUI. It was the place where Max kissed me next to the swing. I still have these uncontrollable butterflie
