"Shut the hell up or I will scream one more time." I stated, pointing my finger at him but the latter just shakes his head before looking back down on his Macbook. I heave a deep sigh as a sign of restraint then wet my lower lip and look at him whilr also weighing him.
"Whatever you say, I will fix this tomorrow and please, no explic–""Then get out now."I could not help but to groan out of pure frustration while putting my luggage on the right corner of his room. He is now back on his usual think, maybe doing something on his Macbook while I exited the room without saying something. For my last draw of patience, i bang the door loudly before I ran towards the right wing of his house. I chuckled as soon as I found an unlocked room so I think it's the room he served for me. I lock it first before roaming my eyes around the area. The wall is painted with white and there is a glass window on the right side with a view of the street lights from afar. My eyes moveI pointed my tongue on the side of my cheek, trying to hold my patience. I turn my head back and saw him walking towards his working tbale while removing his watch. He seem to notice that I am still around the place, making him look back and our gaze met.He raise his brows. “You need something?”I purse my lips out of annoyance and ignored him anyway. I head back to my room and decided to take a bath early since I could not go back to sleep anymore. This kind of routine while staying with this man is frustrating the hell out of me. I am not an early bird and will never be—well, at least that was I thought before but not now while I am living with Mister Dawson in the same roof. While I am under the shower, I did all of my body rituals and put some essentials before finishing up. I then grab the bottle of lotion that I put on the bathroom cabinet before I even slid on my robe to go out.“How dare he call me gross when I have such a good s
I force a laugh before looking away from him. Later on, the elevator opens, showing the familiar hallway that we often walks into every morning and Mister Dawson automatically went out, leaving us without even turning around.I bump Alaric on his shoulder playfully before nodding my head. "Sure! But if my friends would be eating with me later, you can join us as well!" I exclaimed to welcome him and not feel a little intimidated about those men.He looks at me with uncertainty so I bump him on his shoulder once again before I wink at him. "Of course! They are great!"We both went tinside the room while smiling but the moment i raise my head to my friends' place, they are all looking weirdly at me then to the person in front."Let's take a seat?" Alaric muttered as he usher me to walk first in the aisle for us to reach out own seats.I walk pass to where Mister Dawson is but he is just down in his stuffs on top of the table, ignori
Mister Dawson asked Alaric to write our names in an index card with the agreed title of our thesis. When Alaric finally got to seat back down, he turn his head back with a wide smile.I move my fist up to cheer him. “The best!” I whispered before he chuckle and raise his left hand for a high-five. I return the action and even wink at him right after, showing him that he really did a good job for answering every questions that Mister Dawson asked earlier—and plus the fact that we did not even talk about this whole idea yet he still nailed it.“Smart ones in a group is quite unfair. Roberto and I are both dumb, damn it.” Rael murmured as he kiddingly give the man behind him a playful glance. The latter then kick his chair, making Rael chuckle once again before he turn to look back in front.Mister Dawson is still talking about the book he told me about from the other day and I am so close to roll my eyes at him whenever he look to my
I anxiously look to where Rael and Alaric are right now and they are both heading towards the parking lot already. I bit my lip in panic while looking around, worried that Tito Albert will arrive here all of a sudden."Aissh!" I exclaimed annoyingly while messing my hair.I take steps to follow where my friends are and with my last grip of sanity, I called Rael.He immediately turn around upon hearing me call him so I walk in hurry towards his direction."I kinda got a problem." I said while looking around, also making sure that Alaric won't hear what I am about to tell."What?" Rael stupidly asked, making me roll my eyes upwards."I said, I got a problem.""What? Can't you speak louder?" He told me almost wanting to scream in front of my face but my eyes went even wider.He groaned. "Seriously I can't hear you."I scratch the back of my head while looking at where Alaric is before faking a
"What?" I asked exasperatedly since he is being inaudible all of a sudden.He finally raises his gaze up and I suddenly feel the cold on my own toes the moment our eyes met.He sigh while pushing his temple. "I said, Dad is coming here so you have to be with me for lunch."I make a face. "Tito can probably understand it. I also have friends, okay?"Mister Dawson push his swivel chair before standing and grab his coat from the back of his chair. "Hurry up, he is calling now."I panic. "Wait, what? How are we supposed to go out?!"He look at me with a visible boredom on his face. "The door?"I groaned, tapping my forehead. "Goodness, I am not in the modd to deal with your sarcasm, Dawson."Damian look at me sideways while putting his coat on his left arm.he raise both of his brows this time while looking at me. "What? You are the one who goes stupid here. Where are we supposed to go out?
"Rael?" I said after swiping my phone's screen up to answer his call.The line seems busy and loud, making my forehead furrowed since it's still lunch time but hey does it seems like he is attending a party at this hour of the day?"Dude, I am sorry, I accidentally clicked your number!" I heard him shout.My brows formed a straight line this time. "Where are you guys at?" I turn my head around to check on Mister Dawson and Tito Albert and they are both looking at me now the moment I raised my voice.Rael chuckled from the other line. "Chill. We are just watching a live band few blocks away from the University.""Live band? At eleven in the afternoon?" I sarcastically muttered, making him laugh even more."Well, Alaric and I were driving to find a place to eat where people won't mistakenly judge us then viola!"I facepalmed. "You are just overthinking, Mansrael. Get a hold of yourself, don't get too wasted
Since Mister Dawson went out from his office first, Tito Albert an di then followed while we are still both laughing on how we made fun of his son earlier. He even pick a statement that Damian loves me so much even though I know from the start that it's all just inside ehis head because his son and I are just following a contract.When we both get out from the building, the hallway is filled with students already since it's dismissal time for lunch and I wonder where did Damian go. He automatically get lost."That kid." Tito Albert hiss before pointing the way to the parking space. " He added so I followed him immediately.There are some familiar faces whom I met along the way but good thing that they just walk passed by us after greeting me. The moment we reach the parking, Tito found the car immediately and we hinted that he is already inside of the car."I'll be sitting on the backseat."I panic a little. "What? Tito, you
"I forgot to tell you that I would be meeting my cousin this afternoon." I immediately said while looking outside the window. The phone is still ringing and I wonder why is he not answering it yet.I cleared my throat when I notice that we are almost near in the university so I pointed the side of the highway with my forefinger before looking at him. He does the same so our eyes met before he parks on the sidewalk with his brows being furrowed."Where to? I can send you there."I laughed. "Don't be such a nagger, Mister Dawson. We both know that you have some works to do and please, answer your phone, it keeps on ringing." I said before opening the car door.It seems like he just notice it the moment I told him that, making me roll my eyes. I purposely stand for a few seconds outside the door before closing it just to hear a little but he seem to notice me still standing, making him raise both of his brows.I hissed th
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
