Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.
------------------------
I cleared my throat and at the same time tried to remove both of their hands that were holding me. What do they think of me, a toddler who'll get lost?
“What do you think you two are doing? We are not filming a love triangle drama here, both of you let go of my hands..”
“My bad, tehee ~~~ sorry baby Liah. Why don't you hate it now? you used to like it when you were younger. ” Arvin sighed as he looked into my eyes, he suddenly turned around. I swear I don't want to see that kind of reaction.
"Don't tell me you're still affected by Juvilan?"
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------Now, I would like to ask if anyone can pass through this part of the university.'Please make this one let go of my wrist.'I’m sure he won’t let anyone see him holding my wrist. He'll let me go if someone sees us in this awkward situation."Let's try the horror house. You should go first and wait for me once you get inside." He finally let go of my wrist.“Are you kidding me? Why don't we just go in together?” I fought back.
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------It's Sunday and there are lurking evil spirits around me, invading my space as if they own it for a vacation stay."You're always here in my unit. Let's go to Maurice's unit this time."I placed my arms at my waist and started warning them that I haven't done any general cleaning yet, they have already rushed to ramble my place again. I then packed my laundry clothes with the ones that had been washed but I hadn't folded them yet. It's annoying that I'll just do the laundry all over again and I'll fold when I get up. It's not a hotel so there is no cleaning service here. Dad said that we should learn to live simply
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------The dean took over when we got out of the elevator. "Good morning," he greeted back before closing the elevator.“Is he the one who glared at us back then, wasn't he? He is the mean guy at gate 3?” Justin asked.“Huh? Oh! Yeah, it's him. He is the dean of our college, a very stubborn one.”"It's a pity I almost had a crush on him. Anyway, I have daddy Arvin." He clings to Arvin's left arm. I, on the other hand, leaned to the right, but Arvin didn't complain.“Just cha
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------Good thing they're all busy, it means Dean and I can go on a date without them knowing. "You have agreed. You can't take it back."“Yes, I won't take it back. So, let me go and I will change my clothes for the date you say. Just today, okay? no more another date or whatsoever. Also, it's a friendly date, so don’t think of other funny ideas. ”“Whatever, as long as it's just you and me, it's still a date. Bye. I'll get dressed too. You should wear black for matchy colors. ”He didn't say a word, he just pushed me out of his unit. I i
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------He is either putting up a show, or he simply doesn't like me!They took out their cell phones and handed them to me, so they want me to be the photographer?! THE AUDACITY OF THIS BITCHES!I smiled and butted in, “Wait a minute, maybe you want to step aside first? We are blocking the way, CHILDREN.”Then they apologized, and then we stepped aside. I removed the dean's cap and tip-toed to comb his golden hair."Wow, your hair... is it natural?"
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------"What are you doing here? and why are you with- ”Maurice didn't finish what he was going to say as soon as Lore arrived.Lore's eyes widened when she saw me and Dean together. Her gaze focused specifically on the hand of my date, which is resting on my shoulder.Shoot! Bakit ba ang malas ko ngayon? Pambihira hindi ko nga muna sinabi kay Lore eh baka majinx yet ito, kumpleto talaga sila, ay mali ang kulang na lang ay si Arvin, si Justin at si Stacy, kung nagpang abot kami edi malaking drama pa.Fortunately, my bestfriend was able to catch it up quickly, so she clun
----------------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------After that friendly date, I haven’t seen Liah around. She’s not even talking to me at school. The last time she talked to me was over our dinner, which is one week passed already. I wasn’t able to attend the class last time, I only left them an activity and let Liah handle it.I wanted to ask if she’s alright but that would be strange of me, it’s very out of my character. It’s always her who always barges and invades my personal space. I don’t want to give her a mixed signal. I am only concerned about her because that is not the liah I have met for almost five months. At first, I thought of letting her do as she pleases because she is still young. Maybe she will mature and leave me once she&rsq
----------------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------I don't know why but I keep on stealing glances at her. At my peripheral view I can see her authoritative look...she looked like a woman who can make a mafia boss bow down to her alluring looks.I find her beautiful whenever she's serious and she's adorably cute when she's acting out her young age.She has a tiger eye look, fierce yet sexy eyes. Her skin is like snow whites', it's like milk. Her lips... I don't want to describe it because it triggers something in my memory.'For pete's sake stop looking at her! You don't want to be caught
—--------------------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
