Leaving Cedrick Miguel, she never thought he will run over and follow her. She might be succeeded in leaving the establishment but unfortunately failed to get away from him because he managed to stop and blocked her way as soon as she reached the exit. He held her arm firmly and pulled her outside the bar until they reached the beachside area. It was not that totally dark where he brought her. The full moon was illuminating the surroundings, the night breeze was gently blowing her hair and her dress as she was being held firmly by the arm as they walk. The sound of the waves and the wind on the beach was so calming. The place should have been a romantic view for lovers but she doesn't feel it that way. All she feel every time she was with him was pain and hurt. The painful memories, fears, insecurities, and inhibitions, they all keep coming back. Loving him only brought her nothing but pain and uncertainty.
"Get off me and stop
"Arghhh! Our freakin' big boss was in beast mode again. He's very upset and keeps on scowling all the time." Lyzza came to her looking disgusted. Her brow automatically raised then gave her a scornful grimace as a response."He scolds me for every simple mistake I made. He was such in a very foul mood this morning. Have you fought last night?" Hearing Lyzza's complaints and laments, she just ignored her and pretended not to hear her.Still upset about what she did last night, she was planning to ignore her the rest of the day ahead."Do you know he just reprimanded the engineers and architects this morning during the meeting? No one dares to argue and opposed his decisions because they were scared of his temper. And guess what? He shouts all the time and searches for every tiny little detail of a mistake so he can burst out his anger at the person he wants to. Tell me what happened last night, Miss?" Lyzza frustratedl
Preparing herself for her date with Inigo, she decided to wear an off-shoulder white shirt partnering it with tattered denim skinny jeans and black sneakers. Her hair was in a ponytail and decided to not wear any accessories beyond her earrings. Being with Inigo is like residing in her comfort zone. She knew she doesn't need to impress him with sexy dresses and high heels. Inigo likes simple women better and that's what she likes about him. Inigo doesn't look at the physical attributes of a woman, he prefers to get to know the person better before deciding to date someone. It's a good thing they started as friends before they decided to date each other. With that, they found a lot of things they have in common and she must admit they were compatible.While busy doing her makeup, her attention got caught by the sound of the doorbell in her hotel room. Wondering who it was, she stand up and headed to the door. As far as she was concerned she did
Visiting the house of Tamayo's is like she was finally home again. The familiar feeling of peace, care, and love is what greets her every time she comes home to their house. The comfort and heartwarming feeling that beings her, it feels like she was belong, cherished, and accepted. She planned to stay and hang out with Aunt Eleanor and Jimena while waiting for Inigo. The latter texted her that something important came up so he will be late to their agreement. They've agreed that Inigo will pick her up at their house after his work while she's waiting for him. Besides, she missed the two women for it's been a month passed since the last time she visited. Although she promised herself to always spend her weekends in Santa Lucia, she never had a chance to do that these past few weeks because something important came up. She also realized it was kinda difficult and not practical to keep traveling back and forth from the Capital to the town for a short period of time reason
On their last day in Calor Del Cielo, Lyzza invited her to stroll in town and ask her what's a good place to buy stuff and souvenirs in town. Their flight will be at 5 pm tonight so she agreed to make the most out of their trip. She took her to the Famoso Mercado - the most popular local market where they sell native food delicacies, unique souvenirs, and memorabilia in the town. To her surprise, she was not informed that Cedrick Miguel will come over. Feeling betrayed again, she gave Lyzza an angry and accusing look. Great! She should have known better."Seriously?" She uttered annoyingly then turned to the woman. Why does she have a feeling that this might be one of Cedrick Miguel's tricks and manipulation to force her to spend time with him."Relax, Gav okay? He ask me where I'm going this morning so I told him. He said he will buy some gifts and souvenirs for his parents before we go back to the Capital. He
"Hi, Dad!" She immediately stand up in her seat and give her Dad a peck on his cheek as soon as he came closer to their table. She called and ask him to meet her at the nearby restaurant in their company for lunch. It's a good thing he was not busy and he don't have a scheduled meeting for today. Although they usually do this once or twice a week as a bonding, this time it's a bit different because she has an important request for her father. "Sorry for taking so long. I just instruct something to my secretary before I left the office." "It's okay, Dad. I understand." "Have you been waiting for so long?" "Not really. But I took the freedom to order our lunch already. Don't worry I ordered for your favorite." "I trust you on that." He replied and give out a hearty laugh. "You should have called your sister Leanna to accompany us." Her father added. "I did but she said she has a lunch meeting with a Company's client." "Oh yeah, might be Mr. Zaragoza from Devera Hotel Royale." "H
Inigo arrived this afternoon from Santa Lucia and she took half day in the office to meet him at the airport. They had lunch together at a fine dining restaurant and hang around for a moment in the mall. It was around six pm when she and Inigo reached their house. It was almost dark outside when the car enter their mansion's gate. While they were walking down the foyer towards the living room where she expects they would see her family, she gently pull his hand and held it gently. He then stared at her with that deep and odd look as if there is something he wanted to say. Why did she have a feeling he was uneasy and nervous?"Relax, Dad will like you." She comforted him as she gave him a warm smile. Her sister Allyssa has told and showed her support to Inigo and honestly, she doesn't
Talking with the Office Manager Suby Walker and the Administrative Coordinator Elena Su about some logistics meetings and statistical reports when the door suddenly flew open without notice and Cedrick Miguel just barge in inside her office interrupting their meeting."Is it true? You brought someone into your house and introduce him as your boyfriend, Gav?" He angrily stated looking so furious.Both women got shocked by their CEO's sudden presence and Ms. Su even stop talking as if she forgot what she was explaining while Ms. Walker's jaw dropped in astonishment. Cedrick Miguel looked so mad with a clenched jaw while glaring at her. He seemed in a foul mood while his brows furrowed but she did not budge. Feeling pissed, she cleared her throat and face the two women."Ms. Su, Ms. Walker, can you leave us for a while please?" She apologetically told the two women feeling so embarr
After work, she met up with Kaycee and have her friend pick her up in the office. It's a good thing they agreed to hang out in the mall and go shopping for she didn't bring her car because it's her coding. Not wanting to think more of Cedrick Miguel and all the realization that had drawn into her a while ago she think of a way to divert her attention for a moment so she decided to call up Kaycee after work and hang up with her. She needs to divert her thoughts and release her stress even for a short period of time. Shopping, going to salon and massage spa was their usual habit once in a while as their means of self-care rituals and relaxation to pamper their selves after a long and stressful day. They went to an exclusive and classy boutique and they shop for clothes and shoes as per the request of Kaycee. It made her smile at the thought that her friend can now afford all this stuff because her job pays her well. She used to love and buy expensive clothes and shoes before because her
She woke up with a throbbing head and a sore body. A surge of panic and confusion coursed through her when she realized she was naked beneath her blanket as a familiar built of man lay beside her in the bed. She tried blinking her eyes trying to remember what happened last night. "Shit!" she muttered when she finally recognized who the man is. It was no other than Cedric Miguel! Trying so badly to recall everything and how they ended up in her hotel room, her memory couldn't seem to cooperate she couldn't remember anything for a moment. Her head was throbbing because of hangover and was confused, she didn't know what to do. Feeling suspicious and baffled, she gasped when flashes of memories started to joy in her mind. Shit! She couldn't believe herself on how she acted last night. She had assumed it was just a dream, but the sight of Cedric Miguel now lying naked and sleeping before her confirmed its reality. Anger surged in her chest, she wanted to blame and confront him. She
The kiss lasted for like an eternity as if time itself had paused. She felt him cupped her face as he gently rested his forehead against hers. In fear of shattering this dream, she dared not open her eyes, wanting to remain lost in this blissful reverie. "It's you that I love and this feeling I feel for you is more deep and stronger than I had with any other women. If this is not love then tell me what it is? It's you, you understand? Only you..." she heard him utter. Why does it feel so good to hear his words of confession? This is one of her greatest dreams before. Hear him confess passionately and say how much he loves her. If only this is real and not a dream and if only things would be easier for them. Tears started to stream down her face realizing how pathetic she could be desperately dreaming about this happening. "Liar," she whispered in disbelief. She tried to push him away but she won't let her go."Damn it! Why is it so hard for you to believe me? I'm not even sure if
She can hear the voice and continuous pat of Grace and Corey on her shoulder trying to wake her up. Her lashes were too heavy to respond. She was too drunk and sleepy she didn't think she could even manage to walk or even stand up. Her body was too heavy and she was so dizzy it made her wanna puke. They can go ahead and leave for all she cares. She can manage herself anyway. "Come on girl, we're leaving. Wake up..." Grace tried to pull her hand to stand up but she didn't move so Corey helped him out "hmm...." she groaned irritatingly as jerked her hands away from the two. She slouched on the couch instead then closed her eyes to continue her sleep. She could hear their voice talking but she was too drunk to understand them until she felt she was slowly engulfed by sleep again. In her dream, she felt suddenly being lifted and carried by someone. The man has a strong and muscled arms. It feels like he was safe and protected just by being in his arms. His chest was firm and comforting
Feeling frustrated, she jerked her eyes away from the window glass of the plane and took a deep sigh. Cedric Miguel has a three-day business trip in the South and as his temporary Secretary, she has no choice but to accompany him. They were with the marketing Department Team to perform a project presentation hoping they would win the client's approval of their proposal. It's been days had passed since the incident she caught him making out with a woman in his office. That night, she left the place and ran away regretting she dared to enter his office. If she wasn't stupid enough to feed her curiosity and enter his office, she shouldn't have seen them in an awkward and embarrassing position.The next days were usual. He was still cold and bossy and gave her a hard time with paperwork most of the time. There were times she will notice him staring at her like he was wondering what she was thinking but most of the time he was a pain in the ass.
After their last argument, Cedrick Miguel started avoiding her. Just like he promised, he stopped sending her anything, and every time their paths crossed in the office, he acted like she didn't exist. He became cold and formal after that. There was a time he castigated her in front of the employees when she made a little mistake on the report she was asked to do by the Executives during a conference meeting. She felt offended and a bit embarrassed but she accepted it. It's the first time he did that to her but what can she do, he was the boss and it's a normal thing to get reprimanded by bosses when you made a mistake. There were times she thought he was doing it on purpose, that he wanted to get even for rejecting him. Well if this was his way to retaliate her rejection then she wanted to get disappointed. She had been hurt and rejected by him a lot of times but she never thought of getting revenge on him. She chose to avoid and move on instead and she still wished him nothing but h
"Hey!" Her attention was caught by Cedrick Miguel whom she never notice standing in front of her office door frame. She suddenly wonder if she was that too busy and preoccupied to not notice he came in. And how long has he been standing there? "Hi..." Giving him a questioning look, she wonder what he was doing in her office until her eyes went down to the food he was bringing in his hands. "Just in case you didn't notice, it was already lunchtime. Don't tell me you don't have plans to eat?" He stated smiling. "Oh..." Only words she could reply as her eyes automatically went down to her wristwatch to check the time. He was right then, it was already twelve noon. "Guess you're too busy to not notice it was lunch already." "Yeah, I did some administrative tasks and wrote some reports for the executives and It kept me busy. I never noticed the time." "I brought some lunch." He saw him walk forward and put the paper bag he was bringing on the coffee table. "Y-You shouldn't have both
When the ceremony begins, bridesmaids walked down the aisle along with their corresponding groomsmen as the music started to play. It was the wedding of their Executive Director Mr. Cocuangco with their Office Manager Suby Walker. The ceremony was held in a wide flower garden a few hours' drive from the city and as agreed, Lyssa ride with her going through the venue. She must say a garden wedding is a good and romantic kind of wedding. In fact, it was one of the most preferable and dream weddings nowadays. But if she will be the one to get married, she prefers a wedding on the beach at dawn- that's her dream wedding. Why dawn has been so precious to her? Probably because it has been a constant reminder to her to never give up and keep always fighting. If she will get a chance to get married in the future, she will definitely choose a beach wedding at dawn because she would love to begin a new chapter of her life just like how the sun begins to rise enlightening the dark horizons giv
"Care for a coffee inside?" She asked Inigo after dropping her at her apartment."No, I know you were tired." He replied with an endearing look in his eyes.She thought for a moment and checked the time on her wristwatch. It was already nine in the evening and she remember he has an early flight tomorrow."What time is your flight going back to Santa Lucia tomorrow?" She asked."Six in the morning.""I can accompany you to the airport tomorrow." That way they will have some time for each other before they separate."You have a job tomorrow, you might be late. ""I can have a half day." She suggested."No, it's okay. Besides, you'll be the one to visit next weekend right?""Yes, I miss Santa Lucia and Calor Del Cielo.""Good. Mom and Jimena are missing you too." She smile at the thought of the two women. She misses them both."Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you to the airport?" She asked trying to assure him."I don't want to see you ushering me to the airport. I might be t
"You were so good at playing golf, Sir. I'm looking forward to learning from you." Inigo complimented her Dad. The latter seemed pleased so he just laughed at the compliment from Inigo. No wonder her boyfriend was really trying to win the heart of her father. She couldn't help to smile at the thought.Inigo travels from Santa Lucia to the Capital to indulge her father's request to play golf with him this weekend. She accompanied the two men by watching and cheering for the two. This is like a date with her father and her boyfriend at once. She wanted Inigo to get to know her father so she art this date for them. Inigo seems to be enjoying and interested in learning the rules and etiquette of playing golf and her father seems to enjoy as well in teaching her boyfriend. Well, golf is a very rewarding game for many and it doesn’t get better than spending a sunny day with friends and family out on the course. It's also a good form of exercis
