I purposely hold the corner of the table the moment I read Cassidy’s reply on my Instagram story. Because of the overwhelming reactions from my group of friends, I immediately check my post and notice that it got 400+ views already, knowing from the fact that I just posted this an hour ago. I roughly scroll on to the names who viewed it but the usernames makes me throw up because of how fast the names went on as I scroll the media.
I could not help but to bit my lower lip before an unknowing smile plastered on my face, thinking and hoping with full certainty that some of this people are Elric and I’s mutual. I should have just accepted everyone’s follow if only I knew I will be on this kind of situation. His teammates became my followers since the day we started dating. Those playboys and funny guys are good people so I considered them as friends, not until what happened recently. Though I am sure that they don’t hold responsible for Elric’s chea
I immediately move away as soon as I realizes everything. Gasping for air, my lips are both parted from each other as I blink my eyes subconsciously while looking up at Mister Dawson. Without on my right senses, I hold my lips while Mister Dawson’s surprised face is still looking at me. I turn my back from him when tons of regrets started coming inside me. I could not muster to look at him from own, and I really have no idea what I was thinking earlier.“Sorry!” I exclaimed out of choice.I was waiting for him to speak or react but Damian just walk ahead of me, leaving me alone in the kitchen. When he is already out of sight, I closed my eyes out of frustration before face palming as I get down on the floor—wanting to scream all of my frustrations tonight.“What the hell did you do, Dionne Fay?!” I told myself in silent scream.Is he mad?Right now, I am leaning on the chair’s leg while still holding,
He stand up with a furrowing brows before he walk passed me to open the door. I saw him sneaking a glance to the hallway and he probably understand what I meant already so he look at me before going out. I followed right away.“Dad,” He called out.Tito Albert, who was busy on his phone, turns around from where we are standing. His face shines the moment he sees us both. I kind of show a timid smile ebfoe greeting him. “Hi, Tito.”He nods his head before looking back at his son.“You can’t always stay here, Dad. You have to relax in your place and going back and forth is not a good thing.”Tito Albert creases his forehead. “Why? You don’t want me here anymore?” He chuckled before pointing his son. “Ah, you don’t want me to disturb the both of you, am I right, Damian?” He said that with a grinning face and I could not help but to burst a little laughter while covering my m
What he said made me gasp after a seconds of silence. Damian look at me sternly while I obviously look uneasy—thinking on how am I going to go out knowing that this man is full of principle inside his mind.I cleared my throat before turning my back at him. “You are such a cry-baby, sure!”Rael groaned from the other line. “Nah, I know that you don’t like the idea, stop faking it, Laurier.” His voice sounded like a different this time which made me chuckle before going out the room. I decided to talk outside since I do not want Damian to hear our conversation then judge me and my friend again.Knowing that guy, he always has something to say when it goes way around from what he believed.I lean my back on the wall the moment the moment I got outside. I chuckle once again, imagining how Mansrael looks like right now.“Will Tito won’t find us?” I asked.The second line goes silent so I chec
After saying that, Rael ended the call immediately without giving me the chance to explain to him. I look at Damian, wanting to show him that I am so done with him but he is still focus on looking for a paper to use for the printing of his crazy contract. Never thought that he can be childish like this and now, my friend feels about me. I read his message late plus Damian took so long to do his crazy idea and now, Rael drove off.“Stop it. You are making me madder.” I murmured so he turn his head at me.Damian met my gaze automatically and I hope he notice my blank stares at him. I saw how his brows twitches a little before I walk away—back to the walk-in closet to change.I flooded Rael with messages and explanations and while waiting for his reply, I pick the PJ I used earlier but I already finished everything but I still don’t receive any message from him.“There must be something wrong with him.” I whispered. Knowin
My forehead automatically creases upon seeing Damian backing up his car outside the gate. The moment he finally settled, he automatically to our side and our eyes met, before his forehead frown a little but look away afterward. Since he looks rude by doing that, I tap Rael’s shoulder before I lean forward to whisper my, “Don’t mind him, let’s go.”Even though he is confused, he still manage to start the bike so I lean forward to hold on his waist. He even turn around to check if my helmet is already properly fasten on my head before he chuckles as he starts driving away.“Lover’s quarrel, I see.” He murmured which made me roll my eyes.“As if. He started it first.”“What happened?”I went silent. I can’t tell him that it took me long minutes—almost an hour even—to go out last night because of his stupid idea of a contract. Rael will know if I told him so I did
Leigh, who has been watching us on the side, growl so I look at her. My eyes found her now sharing a gaze with Rael who just shrug his shoulder before pushing her a little.“You are already running late.”My best friend shake her head as she steps forward back to me before whispering to my ear. “You cheated? And that hot-ass Professor found about it?”The moment she said that, I could not stop myself but to laugh while covering my mouth then stop a moment before laughing again. “What? Leigh that sounds so awful to my part! Don’t overthinking things, well ya?”Instead of laughing with me, she even give me another weird stares so for her to stop thinking that way, I lean forward to kiss her on the cheek before whispering, “I was just a bit mad at him for not allowing me to join Reel last night, don’t think so much, little squirrel.” After saying that, I fly a kiss to her once again while Rael is pu
I wet my lower lip while trying to gain my sanity back. I left Damian’s stare then found Alaric who is obviously uneasy now as he scratch the back of his head.“Now I know why you went on leave in the varsity.” The other man added on a teasing tone while giving Alaric a wide grin. My jaw dropped.“No, people—““Ah, I also saw your IG story last night, Dionne!” I look at Nicolette this time who has bigger smile than the others. “Nikolai doesn’t stop talking about it! That hopeless admirer!” She then added which made the other student laugh.Now that I am on a hot seat, I turn to look at my friends but Nathan and Rael is just giving me a wide grin, eyeing me then Damian—as if they are enjoying what is happening. Levi this time, sighed, before standing up to grab me from Alaric and let me sit on my own chair.“Guys, you are making a story in your own—“Ala
As I take steps down from Damian, I don’t know but I was expecting for him to stop or call me—stopping me to go away and apologise after what he have done. But I am already on the next floor but there is no Damian Shane who calls me so I just blow an air before rolling my eyes heavenward.“Then why was he there in the first place? He could have just teach those women back there.” I murmured to myself before I continue to go down, deciding on leaving the University for my own peace of mind.Since I do not have any car to use except this car that Leigh and I owned, I decided to just drive it and let her find someone to hop on when dismissal. She burdened me few days ago so I deserve to drive Dia with me.I do not really know where my driving is taking me but after almost an hour of driving, I found myself driving back to our hometown. Here, I can clearly hear the serene of the gasping wind and nothing beats the tranquillity that this place
Maybe they are right when it rains on your parade, rainbow will soon to occur after a long journey of heavy rains. I have been wishing for a Prince Charming on a right time with a Cinderella-like love story to pacify my standards. But never thought that I would be no like Cinderella because I was born to create my own story and find my Prince Charming on my own silly way.“Gosh, I don’t feel my make-up today.” I mumbled while watching myself in front of the mirror.Leigh, who is also fixing herself, growled. “Shut up, preggy, you look good already.”I immediately cup my belly after Leigh said that. My baby is six months now, three way to go before we’ll finally see him. And yes, it’s a boy. Damian was so happy after we had our gender reveal celebration last month. I could not help but to chuckle on what my love story looks like. Did not know that being in a total heartbreak can lead a person to another roller-coaster love story that I thought, will fail as well like the usual. Who wou
Did not know why I am back on my hometown alone after spending a day with my friends. Earlier, I was laughing with them to cast all my worries away not until I am finally left alone inside that house. I have never been so empty my life, maybe I was devastated after Elric broke up with me but what Damian did is more painful. I was not expecting a Prince Charmng anymore, contented on how he is to me, but guess I am failed by my own thoughts again. I spent weeks on hiding my pain but this time, I could not take it anymore. Never thought that after hours of good times and laughter, will lead me to this kind of misery. I guess we really should not be too happy or else we’ll be sad longer.I am currently in the same place I was before but this time, I am here because not because I fought with someone but because I failed to love one more time.Earlier, after my friends left, I notice that Damian weren’t at home—even his car. I guess he is out again to wherever he is going. I bent my knees f
Days and weeks passed by so fast. Damian and I maintained the distance, we did not talk like the usual. We just talk about the improvements of the baby, nothing more personal. I have been hiding crying under the sheets for weeks now as well but I woke up feeling a lot better than the previous day. I kept reminding myself to be strong for this little me inside me and that I should continue this damn of a hell-hole.Today, it’s Friday. Leigh and Alaric would be coming here after class so I prepared and ordered foods for us. Damian already said himself that I can definitely treat this house as my own, so inviting my friends would not be a big deal. In fact, he even went to pay Aubrey a visit on their rented unit last day so I think we are both fair towards each other. I cup my belly when my stomach growl. I check for the time and sees it’s almost twelve in the afternoon already so I grab some few slices from the steak I ordered from Denvi’s place. I go on my monthly check up as well and
Like what we really want to do, Alaric and I are now looking at the sandbar from a far. People there are enjoying their little vacation, perhaps some of these are students who just finished their term exam. We are both leaning on his car while we are on the side way. Silence envelopes us for long minutes now, no one is talking. We just enjoyed our company without necessary words to speak. I know that there are lots of question running through his head, even I.Questions like, why? Where did we go wrong? Did I trust him too much? Was I that gullible? And lastly, why is he treating Aubrey unlikely? But the latter seems cool seeing us yesterday—like the first day I saw her. I do not know if was I too stupid not to notice or there is really something going on between Damian and I.A loud sigh escape from my lips before tilting my head. “Aren’t you hungry?” I asked to break the silence, remembering that we never had our lunch still. Well, I was about to. But never thought I would be seeing
It’s already eight in the evening when Alaric sent me home after hours of riding the car near the sea side. After Damian left earlier, Alaric invited me for a drive for me to ease the burden feeling I was dealing with earlier. Unlike what Damian said, I did not wait for him back there. And now, as I head inside the n=entrance of the house, the lights from the living room are already off except upstairs. I took a heavy breath while going towards the kitchen and drink a glass of water. I lean for a few seconds on the counter before removing my blazer as I walk upstairs, burnt out and with a heavy heart.I check the balcony of Damian is there but he wasn’t so I am sure he is inside his room. I turn the knob right and sees him reading a book on his table. He look up at me and sigh before going back to the book he is reading.That’s it. I don’t want bullsh8ts while we share the same sheets.I walk straight towards him and put the test result I had few days ago. I saw him looking at the two
I have been sitting on top of the toilet inside our room for long minutes now. The kit is still inside the box after I tested myself right away I arrived home and now, I am afraid and confuse at the same time on how I am going to react by the result. I take a deep a slow deep breath before closing my eyes as I move the kit out from the box.“Oh my god.” I whispered as I decided to open my eyes.My lips parted at the sight of two red lines being shown and my hands immediately shaken, mind starting to process in haywire.“Fck.” I cussed out of deep breath. I then remain my posture to calm my nerves down before I went out from the comfort room just to sat back down on top of the bed. “Oh my god, it did not change.” I even mumbled, sounding so stupid on how I reacted.“Mommy…” I mumbled once again before tearing up. I then realize why I am crying so I immediately fan my face using my hands. “Heck.” I sniff before looking around.Should I tell Damian immediately? Everleigh? The rest of my
I thought that the supposedly lunch won’t take longer that what I expected but I guess not. Alaric and I are both panting as we head out inside a hunted castle in the amusement park. I do not know what pushes me to invite him here but I just feel like going in here, did not really expect that he’ll go with me.Few seconds passed when I saw him offering me a tumbler of water, moving it to and fro in front of my face. “Here.”My gaze shifted towards him confusedly. “You already drank in here.” I muttered, reminding him that he already used this and I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to use it as well, knowing that he used it first-hand.He chuckled. “Right. It was so stupid of me not to realize that.” He mumbled before looking around the area. “You wait here. I’ll find some stores that sells water.”I am about to stop him and would be the one to look for one but Alaric already walked away. I look around with a smile on my face before putting the tumbler down on my side, giggling upon
The next day, Alaric and I still decided to see each other. We are still in Damian’s place as what Alaric also suggested so that we can ask assistance for Damian today. We are almost done on our Thesis which is an advantage so that we don’t have to worry anymore after finals. “Should I talk with Damian instead? I have just few questions to ask.” Alaric said in the middle of our silence. I look at him and he is seriously typing on his laptop while not looking at me. I then turn around to look upstairs before nodding my head. “Sure, if you want to.” I simply mumbled before I fix few useless papers on the carpet. Alaric just nod my head, not responding anymore. Few more minutes has passed one more time when he stand up. I follow him with my gaze as he started roaming around. “Uh, are you seeing him now?” He shake his head with a smile. “No, I was about to ask if you guys can print out papers here.” I immediately nod my head and stand up. “Of course. Damian has upstairs. He should no
I shake my head a little while biting my lips. I watch him as his throat slowly move up and down while looking shock at the house in front where I told him to park. “This is our Professor’s place. Why are we here?” Oh my god how did he know Damian’s place? “H-Ho—“ I tried as much not to stuttered but the way he reacted made me lost my right mind to think immediately. I watch him as he went out the car so I followed him. “Let’s talk inside, Alaric.” I mumbled in a whisper before I swipe the card key to the small gate. I heard him gasp from behind but I did not turn to look at him or how he reacts because I know for sure he is confused and I am as well. How did he know that this is Damian’s place? “Wait, Dionne---“ I face him just we are about to enter the entrance of the house. I rub my temple as I look for words on how to tell him. A deep sigh came out from me before I finally raise my gaze up at him. “Damian is my boyfriend…” I whispered, looking at him under my eyelids, worri
