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
I did not drop my stare to my phone screen as soon as the call ended. My lips are parted in disbelief but confuse on the same time.“How on Earth—“A sudden horn and a light from a car slides down through my car window and the moment I saw Damian’s Raptor, I could not help but to crease my brows as I watch him park few meters away from my car.Its door opens then comes out Mister Dawson who is only wearing his white long sleeve shirt---gone that black suit that he always used to pair up for his daily style as a Professor. I parted my lips when I notice that he is bringing an umbrella towards where my car is and by that, I began to shift from my own seat, thinking on how I am going to approach him.He knock the car’s window so without any choice, even though I am still full of his ego from earlier, I grab my car keys before taking my bag from the front seat and open the door. He take a step backward to give me a
The drive has been so silent since Damian started driving away from that Lake. I am even kinda worried that we’ll crash into something or someone because of the heavy rain fall and the road is almost covered with fogs. I am sitting uneasily on my seat while consecutively looking outside, still hesitant to tell Damian to stop over because of the rain. Where would be staying anyway if we’ll stop driving? The idea of taking him in the house doesn’t feel right as well, despite the fact that our subdivision is just a few blocks away. “I think we have to stop by.” I spoke which made him look at me so I look back and saw him with his creasing forehead. “I am not gonna stay inside this car.” I growl, pointing the outside. “We could not even drive farther either. Well, unless you want us to die because you are hard-head—“ I am cut off by my words when he step on the brake so I smirk inside, not looking at him. “You leave in this city. You know
I watch the outside through the glass window and saw that the heavy rain will seem not to stop anytime soon. I am currently drying my hair using the towel that this hotel provide after a half an hour stay inside the bathroom. Good thing they have a hot shower in here so I was calming my nerves out while staying in the bathtub for a long minutes. I sighed before walking away the window and grab my phone that keeps on vibrating—showing up some notifications from my friends and another messages from Mom.My forehead creases. Right, never heard about her for a long time now.I opened her message first more than the others and read what she said.Super Mom: where are you? Why are your friends looking for you?I blow an air before sitting straight on top of my bed, forming my leg into an x while typing a reply to Mom.Dionne: i got into a fight with someone earlier, I have to unwind.I wanna slap myself for making that as a
The next day, I woke from a knock on the door. Despite being sleepy since I only slept for three hours—overthinking things, I still manage to stand up to open who is behind the door. I stir a little when Damian’s face is shown in front. I left the door open for him to enter before going back inside, planning to wash my face.“It’s six already, we have to go or else we’ll get late.”I nod my head even if I am not sure that he sees me since I am already inside the bathroom. I wash my face in the lavatory to remove any signs of morning residual before raising my head back up, jumping out from my spot when I saw Damian standing on the hem of the bathroom’s door.“Shocks, you are really fond of surprising people.” I murmured as I grab the towel on the rack. I walk pass him to get my bag and arrange my things.“You should keep your things intact when you are staying in a hotel or else you’ll lost
I feel like everything around me went in slow-motion and the only person I see is Damian, showing his big smile. This is the first time that I saw him like this and this felt so nice and new—knowing that he is not really very fond of showing some emotions. People saw him as the stoic and straightforward Professor but look at him now, smiling in front of me.“Dionne.”I blink my eyes when I heard him called my name, pulling me back up from my reverie. I shake my head a little before looking away then back to look at him once again.“Huh?”“I was asking if what you want for breakfast.”I look in front where the menu is being served so I bit my lower lip as I try to crave for something but ended up choosing a clubhouse sandwich and a pasta. I notice how Damian look at me as if he wants to make sure if I picked the right foods to eat so I nod my head. “I am fine with those.”With a nodding he
I do not know what happened or what the reason on why Damian seems happy today. He is not on his usual self—that cold-blooded Professor I dealt with for the last few weeks. Instead, he shows his other side more often now—and even now that he is driving. I wanted to ask him if why he is happy but I decided not to or else I might ruin his mood for the day.“So, I guess I will come at your class late instead of never?” I asked in the middle of the blue. I look at him when he give me a slight gaze before looking back in the road with a light shaking of his head.“No. You enter first and I will follow after fifteen to twenty minutes. I can easily make an excuse that I had things to do first or whatsoever.”I purse my lips together, before nodding my head and look outside the window. It’s almost seven now and there are already students and workers running to and fro as the traffic light turns stop for the cars They are heading
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
