I spent another minutes to chill myself up when my phone vibrated, showing Alaric’s name on the screen this time. I cleared my throat before swiping the screen up t6o answer his call. “Hey!” “Hey, Dionne! I am sorry but can we move our schedule at one? Something just came up with my group mates on this subject.” I felt and heard how he is obviously in a hurry so even with so much confusion, I nod my head even if he could not see me before I answered him my “Okay.” I look around after the call then decided to continue reading the book that I was reading earlier. I smiled to myself, realizing how this is such a great read. “Another way to go~” I murmured as I slump back down on my chair. *** I clutch my toes while I am still on top of my chair after minutes of reading some pages of this book. When I already feel like reading anything and my head hurts already from bowing down to read those tiny fonts of this cream-colored paper, I lean backward on my chair before moving in circle
While I am busy gaining back my sanity, I heard the cars from behind me horns loudly making me jump out of surprised. I immediately move my hands to the steering wheel when I notice that it’s green light already so in pure urgency, I drive off the road and saw the other cars from behind me drove to my side and that one annoyed driver look at me in pure frustration. I bow my head to apologize silently but he just shake his head before running ahead of me, leaving some dirty car emissions. I cough as soon as he left the area and trust me when I say that I am annoyed now. Even though I cause him a little trouble, it doesn’t give him the credit to do that! “That jerk—aish!” I exclaimed annoyingly when I tried to drive faster with him but he is already distance away from me. I annoyingly park my car on the side to calm my nerves down. I do not want to continue driving, feeling annoyed because of that bald bearded-man! I screamed on top of my lungs one more time before looking in front.
As I walk back towards my car, I check my phone for any notification but those are still from I*******m and perhaps it is from the photos that I posted earlier. I drove off the place and drive back to the university where Alaric is waiting. I am about to park my car once again when I notice Alaric—standing and leaning on his car while typing on his phone. Later on, my phone vibrated s I check it and it’s Alaric. I slide my window down and was about to call his attention when his varsity teammates passed near him and they approach each other. When I saw that Elric and Nikolai is with the group, I slide the car window back up to avoid those people. “Maybe after they leave.” I murmured to myself before leaning on my seat. It took them a few more minutes before the group of men left Alaric on his spot. They seem to be teasing him—leaving Alaric shaking his head as he check on his phone once again. I check the group of guys walking away from the parking space and made it sure that they a
She laughed before looking at me. “Join us, Hija. I am Grace by the way, and you can just call me Tita. There is no need to be formal here.” I nod my head while smiling. “Alright, Tita.” I answered which she automatically smile and hold me on my hand to pull me towards where she was earlier. I look behind me where Alaric is chuckling tailing us. To be honest, I wanted to get shy and all but the way she welcomes a visitor like me is making me a lot comfortable than what I expected. “I so love cooking and I can’t wait to let you taste my foods that I prepared for you guys.” She chuckled. I look around the kitchen and it is very spacious white-themed space. There is a top counter in the middle then a sink and this place obviously has everything. “Mom, did Dad went home earlier?” Alaric asked while grabbing plates for us. He then first ushered me to sit down before going back to what he is doing. “Let me do it.” He stated when Tita was about to get another bowl. “Thanks, son. Your
I do not know how life plays with me the last few months. I was all fine during our vacation, until our first semester started, everything as going fine. I feel like I am really living as a real life Cinderella for having a Prince Charming who always got my back, that one Prince whom I fought from my family because I am so in love with him. Like what I said, everything were going well, not until everything changed when second semester started. In opposite, I thought the dreams I lived already means and grows a lot but what happened next ruined my will to continue fighting for the love that I was looking for my whole life. I thought there are men who is like my Dad, a complete Prince Charming turned into King who also got his Queen. Guess I was wrong. There is no such thing as Prince charming when Elric ruined everything I have. All those months until years I was with him, I thought he is really the one. I am such a clown for thinking that way. And now, I hastily decided to go on a co
I look at him this time and notice how Damian looks so annoyed as he sips on his wine glass. When I notice that he gulps everything inside his wine in one go, I lean backward on my seat tilting my head as I watch him, silently getting furious about what is going in his family. I blow a deep breath before I put my spoon and fork down. “Why? Are you not in a good relationship with them?” I asked, trying to fish some information form him, knowing that he is very mad at those people and he treats everything that is going on with regards to them a big deal. He cleared his throat, looking at me. I can still notice his jaw getting clenched but he softly look at me at the same time. Later on, he shakes his head. “Let’s just not talk about them.” He stated as he put his wine glass down. “How about we enjoy the date?” Because of what he said, in an impulse, I look away from him and unaware on how to react. Like the usual, I do not want him to show how I may react with his sudden choice of wo
The next morning, I stirred up on my bed when I felt someone’s breath on my shoulder. I blink my eyes for a little while before it open widely, realizing who the person is. I am about to scream but then I chose not to even though I am already freaking out inside—but the thought of waking him up because of my loudness would be so ridiculously rude. With a hitch breathing, I slowly look at him and saw how close his face is to my chin. Both of his arms are crossed over his chest, legs curling up and it was late when I notice that he don’t have a blanket on to cover his body. I check the temperature and saw the numbers, thinking how cold it is under that temperature number. I got almost part of the blanket—leaving him no space to cover on so now, he is cold while closing his eyes—still obviously asleep. I move a little but I also made sure not to disturb Damian. I slowly put on the blanket to his body and for him to get covered and as soon as the blanket is being removed from my body, th
“Do you by chance, have any plans for today?” I look at Damian when he asked me that question. I am currently just staring at nowhere while listening the sound of the rain from the outside with a coffee in between my palms. I look at Damian this time and found him looking at me.“The weather looks perfectly fine for me to just stay on bed, curling my toes, covered with sheets and watch a movie.” I look at him and found him smiling at me. “Guess, that would be my plans for today.” I smiled before putting my toes on the stool and laid my chin on my knee the second after before sipping on my coffee. I smiled inside. How vibrant the day is despite the fact that it’s raining outside. Damian chuckles across me so I look at him and found him nodding his head this time. “Well, then lets watch a movie together?” I give him an eyeing look making him chuckle on his own place. He sound so sexy with that little laugh so I groaned and look away. “But if you don’t like me around, I understand tho
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
