I look around after asking myself that unanswered question before standing up. I move my eyes around only to notice that the room is black and white themed. The place is so clean and organize that even my won room would get shy because it is full of dirt and mess.
“I could not even see any laundry everywhere.” I added while I continue walking around.
“Is this Mister Dawson’s room?”
My so many unanswered questions have been finally justified when I notice a literature textbook on top of a working table inside this room. I bit my upper lip, thinking that he might be here earlier while I was sleeping and I suddenly got worried on how do I look like while sleeping.
Another opened book is on top of the table so I move to read it for a while killing the time.
“William Wordsworth’s contributions to Romantic poetry can be divided into two categories. The first is his impact on literary excellence, and the second is his influence on his contemporaries
Since I feel a little hungry now, I put the book down to grab my phone before standing up to go out from the library. I scan for anyone I can talk to but the hallway on the second floor is empty. I decided to roam around the area since I haven’t got the chance to do that earlier so as I was walking towards the last room, on the last part of the hallway there is a one big frame situated in the center. My head tilted a little when I saw a family portrait and the two people are both very familiar to me and I am certain that it’s Mister Dawson and his Dad. The other person is a beautiful woman who has this small face and small-formed lips and she definitely look good on her white wedding gown. “Where is she now?” I asked myself while going closer towards the image. It just feel so real. They are all good-looking and Mister Dawson seem to get his thin lips from his Mom and the rest of his features came from his Dad. I smiled a little before crossing both of my arms across
The whole place goes silent after Mister Dawson said that, even Tito himself shut his mouth and continue eating. I have no choice but to eat as well even though there are so many questions running inside my mind and I know, there is a deeper reason why Mister Dawson s aid that. It’s not only about because I am around, but I am certain there is more to it—and well, I am getting nosy once again. I cleared my throat when I could not bear the silence anymore. Tito look up at me and I smiled automatically. “Tito, my best friend and I often bakes cake whenever we feel like doing it. Do you want me to bake something for you?” He blinks his eyes twice before transferring his gaze to his son but look back at me anyway with a smile on his face. “Sure! That would be great! I would be expecting from you this weekend?” “Dad, we can’t be here this weeken—“ “Sure, Tito!” I exclaimed before Mister Dawson finished his statement. I look at him when I notice tha
I hurriedly tap the end call button on my phone the moment I heard Mister Dawson calling me from behind. I even haven’t got the chance to hear what Levi was saying since I ended the call accidentally, maybe tripping over my own self who was about to scream something. I fake a smile while scratching the back of my head. "U-Uh, Mister Daw–" "Let's sleep?" "H-huh?" There is an exaggerated big question mark on top of my head now when he said that. I saw how he take steps forward towards my spot then pull me on my waist right after before he leans a little to whisper something on my ear. "Act in. He is hiding behind the bonsai tree." And that's the cue, I automatically plastered a smile on my face before I lean over him while returning back the hold on the waist. As we go inside the house, I can feel how his annoyed breath got louder as soon as we finally get in. I am about to complain and rant when he look at me, pu
The next morning, I am shaken by someone while I lie under the sheets that obviously smells like Mister Dawson. I only had a minimum sleep since I have been awake for long hours, thinking about the relationship I have with my professor and if my friends will approve this kind of set-up. Not that I will tell them everything, but knowing that he is a Professor, those people may freak out, I am certain. With my half-closed eyes, I remove the sheet down and saw a woman probably on her thirties, smiling while looking at me. “Miss Dionne, Mister Damian is calling for you downstairs already. He said that you will be leaving in a few minutes—“ “What?!” It seems like the woman was taken aback when I shouted while I hurriedly stands up from the bed. I look around, checking if where my phone is until I found it under the sheets and saw what time it is now. “Freaking six twenty-eight! Is your boss out of his mind?!” I screamed. The woman seems sur
"For the love of God, Laurier! Slow down!"I laugh hard while turning the steering wheel comfortably as I step on the gas. We left their house after so many push and pulls we made with him and I don't know how we make him agreed to ride on this car and I just could not find any reason why he won't ride this."Ah, I miss crashing the road." I mumbled before putting my left arm on the window's side before leaning my head on it."The road is not your playground, you freaks." He muttered while pursing his lips altogether, looking outside while speaking.I chuckled. "I heard that line a many times now and it's kinda overused to me now."He hissed. "Could you slow down at least?"I smiled once again before stepping on the gas more the next cuss made by Mister Dawson made me laugh harder."I swear, if only I have my camera with me, I will surely record every piece of you, screaming your as$ out in here as if you are not that cold Pro
"So who's that lucky bastard that comes after Elric the freaking cheater?"I look up the moment Everleigh sat across where I am sitting. Since I decided not to enter Mister Dawson's class, I messaged her instead to come over and chose not to text the other guys because I am sure they are in that Professor's class right now and I am a hundred percent sure that they are looking for me at the moment.I sigh before going my face on the table as if I am a problematic sh*t, trying to confess my damn sin to someone holy. But btch be mad, Leigh isn't holy anyway."Promise me not to get mad and please, don't shout."Everleigh's brows formed a straight line as she look at me with curiosity and later tap her forehead. "Don't you ever waste my first absence in class just to hear your freaking confession. Be serious."My lips parted a little. "What? I am freaking serious now."She pressed her lips together. "And?"I heave a deep sigh
Since today is Tuesday, it means that I have no other subject for the rest of the day so I decided to go home now and fetch Leigh later after class so that she don't have to commute later. While humming a song towards where the car is parked, I receive a text message so I stop midway, thinking that it is maybe one of my guy friends—but it's not."Where do you want em to fetch you later?" I read the message and my brows automatically formed a straight line, confused."Fetch, who?" I talked to myself once again then continue to walk towards the car.I press something on the key fob before it unlock the car and with a sigh, I get in and out my bag on the other side."Gosh, I just want to have a good sleep today." I murmured while fixing my hair.My phone vibrated for the second time so I check it and saw Leigh's text message this time saying: btch, you may think I did not notice but who owns that classy ware?!I ch
After setting up my luggage in the living room, I walk back to my room and fix my bed and got my hand bag from my own table. I already packed my moisturizers and other bottles for my daily routines so I have another bag for those. While waiting fo the clock and I struck at three-thirty, I sat down on the couch—thinking about my life decisions."What if they'll go mad?" I talked to myself while tapping on my phone screen. I don't actually know what I am doing right now.I mess my hair out of frustration before standing up to grab the car keys from the couch then I notice my socks on the side of it. I ignore it and went out, not in the mood to clean up since it is not my thing as well. Going to the parking lot, I was thinking on how will I tell the guys about this. They will surely give me that frustrated and mad look, well except for Rael who always seem to get wild when this kind of things happens.I drove away and reach the university af
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
