“I am still sore…” I stated shyly while not looking at him. He chuckle so I glance back up at him and saw him nodding his head this time. “I’m sorry. I forgot about it.” The rest of the night, we spent it cuddling each other while Damian is reading his book. We are just both inside the guestroom and both are not planning to start a conversation. I was just really planning on circling my hands around his waist—not saying anything for me to think as well. Good thing that Damian is so focused on to what he si reading until I literally fell asleep while my head is laid on his chest. *** The next day, I am being woken up by the sound of vibration from a phone. I am not quite sure if it’s mine since I am not sure if I really set my tone to vibration yesterday. For all I know, I put it in a silent mode so I think that it’s Damian’s phone. With my eyes half-close, I tap the bedside table near the bed only to realize that there is no one beside me anymore. The last time I remember, I was l
“Gosh, so pretty!” I complimented myself before showing a light smirk on my lips. If Damian would agree to have a dinner with those people, then might as well prepare myself as early as I can and choosing this ware would probably make me slay in front of whoever those people. “Relative my as$” I murmured before fixing my bracelet. As soon as I raise my gaze, I notice that Damian is leaning on the doorway, watching me through my reflection on the mirror so my eyes widen in surprise. “You’re there for long?” I asked, trying not to act surprised while fixing my hair even though it’s been fixed already. “Not long.” I finally turn around to look at him. “I am sorry for answering that call. I was half-asleep when it vibrated—“ “It’s fine, you have the rights. And anyway, we would be meeting Dad and his sister later.” *** I have been spacing out the whole day thinking about what could possibly happen tonight at dinner with Damian’s relatives—though I am not sure if they are really th
“What?!” Nathan reacted as if he is about to lose his sanity for hearing that answer from his girlfriend. I shake my head as well. “A person will only comes second if it’s about BTS, Nathan. Don’t act so hurt.” “Who the hell is Kim Namjoon?” Leigh and I rolled our eyes together. “Someone out of your league, dude, come on finish your food.” Levi hissed on his seat. I could not stop myself from laughing after Levi said that. I found myself looking at Rael who is also laughing mockingly at Nathan then we both have a high-five with each other right after. “Cry, dude.” Rael added more to annoy Nathan. I look at Leigh and she is just grinning while watching her boyfriend pout his lips while giving his food a death glares. The next few hours, I have spent my time alone while waiting for Damian to finish his shift. I am currently inside his office and he is still on his last class for the day. While waiting for him, I decided to work on our Thesis so that I can help out Alaric. I am al
He look at me once again then move his gaze up and down, confuse on the way I am acting. “You look nuts.” He mumbled. I laugh. “No, you are the nut here.” I said before bringing he book up, showing it to him. His brows formed a straight line as soon as he found the book I am holding so I laugh. “I didn’t know that the famous Dawson is reading such romance novel like this. Really? This genre?” I stated with a laugh. I watch how his brows furrowed even more before shaking his head. He then walk towards my spot and was about to grab the book from my hand when I move it away while still teasing him with my look and smile. His lips pressed to each other, looking down at me as if he found me very stupid at the moment. The second attempt, he finally got the book from my hold before he opens and skim through the pages, showing me a name on the back part of the book. Lieah Evans. I mentally read the hand written name. He stares at me before rolling his eyes, pushing me on my forehead us
That jerk! After I gave myself at him, and after confusing myself to realize if I like him or not, I would just found out that a woman has been always on his office, making it as her reading place. All this time, he has a woman inside here, so what are they trying to show? That they read books together? Stare at each other when they had the chance? Treat each other’s coffee while reading books? These geeks. I mentally murmured and was about to take a step outside his office when I felt someone grab me by my wrist one more time. I heard the closing of the door from behind before I felt my back being leaned on the door while looking at Damian—surprised. I immediately change my reaction for him not see that I am blushing on the way he lean me in between his arms on this fcking door. I give him a sharp look, testing his patience. “What? I was not aware that you already have a woman in here so why agreed to my weird proposal? You can make a child with her—“ My words were all cut off from b
Damian and I are now inside his car when we both decided to drive towards the said meeting place that Tito Albert has told us. While I am currently in the passenger’s seat, I am trying my best to look nice and decent by fixing my make-up and applied a lipstick to cover the smudge ones caused by what we both did inside his office. Remembering the incident made me groan inside but an inner emotion inside me is smiling while looking at me as if I look like a playful slut earlier under Damian. I immediately dismissed my thoughts away when it goes worse one more time. I should note to myself to lessen these sudden h0rny thoughts inside my mind or I am going to explode and have a reason to be check on the nearest mental facility. My imaginations are getting vivid and wilder after being a bit showy with Damian and now, I cannot stop myself but to bit my lower lip, remembering what happened inside his office. Really, Dionne? You really let Damian took you two times in the same damn place? Wo
Damian and I walk towards the entrance of the restaurant silently. After I came back to his car in the mall’s parking space, he changed already on his grey suit and a striped tie. I admit, he looks more than sophisticated and strict on the way he look and walk as well, so with my string of confidence that I started to gather up during the ride towards here, I raise my chin up and walk confidently while holding his arm. A man greeted us as soon as we came in and asked if we have reservation. Damian just simply said the name of his father and the latter immediately ushered as to the left side of the restaurant. Later on, we are now walking in the middle fot he hallway where I think private rooms are located. The doors are made up of glass so we can clearly see the people dining in inside and I could not help but to admire how each room looks expensive and fine.“Did Tito rent a room for a dinner?” I asked in the middle of our silence.I felt how Damian look down at me so I look as well,
Now that we are on this once again. I remember the issue once again. I bit my lips while looking at Damian and he sure looks like he is very soft for topics like this. I can see that he still not accepting that his father has to offer and on to the possibilities about his father’s situation. I secretly look at Tita Beatrice and Aubrey. They are both looking at the two and are both silent. Tito Albert hopelessly look at his son silently. He did not bother to speak one more time but just stare at Damian for a long period until we are being surprised by the arrival of the staffs. They are pushing a car where the foods are being put into and one by one served it in front of us. Half of the time on the dinner is silent. I can really say that this family really knows how to respect in front of the food. Like what Tito and Damian has practiced, everyone are not using their phone are just focusing on the dinner in front. In the middle of the silence, Damian broke it as he excused himself t
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
