I purse my lips the moment our eyes met. I roam my eyes around the area with a force smile before pointing behind me where the gate is using my thumb. “I wanted to buy a Soju.” His brows formed a straight line as he took a heavy deep breath before crossing both of his hands over his chest. I tsked inside me before looking away. Here comes the oh-so diligent boy that Albert Dawson raised. I thought inside. “Soju? At this hour of the night?” I shrug my shoulders before I scratch the side of my neck, looking behind me. “What’s wrong? You sounded like you are a new raised-teenager in 21st century, come on!” I kidded and was about to walk away when he spoke once again. “There is no convince store inside the subdivision, stupid.” I stopped on my trance before heaving a deep sigh. Later on, I spread my palm in front of him as if I am asking for something from him, making him tilt his head in lost confusion. “What?” I grinn
I rolled my eyes and grab it back, putting it on top of his table. “Here, Master.” I mocked before turning away from him and went straight to the bed with my phone on my left hand. As I scroll down on my socials, I only notice my friends’ conversation but I am not in the mood to engage in the group chat so I close the chat head and was about to cover myself with the blanket when I heard Damian stands up from his chair, closing the book he read. My heart leap a little, realizing that he maybe wants to sleep now. I continue to cover myself under the blanket to hide my face from him, wanting to avoid unnecessary sight from that that man. There is a long silence in the background before the bed moved a little, a sign that he is now ready to sleep. While I am busy hiding myself under the blanket, a hand pull it from me firmly, making me squeal before it complete uncovered my body. “Damian!” I screamed. He give me a boring look. “Don’t be such a nagger. We
*** The next morning, I woke as early as possible—wanting to get up first to prepare a little breakfast for the three of us. As I turn to my left, my eyes widens upon seeing he empty space where Damian was sleeping the whole night. “He woke up that early?” I talked to myself while wiping some unpleasant morning glories on my face. Since I am the only one left inside here, I took it as a chance to take a bath and get change for class. I forgot that Damian is a morning person and I don’t think I can beat him for being early unlike me. While preparing myself up for school, I also check my phone for messages and found Levi’s name with a text that says: Goodmorning, Cinderella! Let’s eat lunch together later. Tell Alaric. I hissed. He is inviting Alaric? Wow, didn’t know that these people can vibe altogether. After blowing my hair dry, I finally out some light make up on before furnishing it with my red lipstick and after that, I prepared my bag on
My brows formed a straight line when I heard how Leigh’s voice seems like she is in a total panic. I move a little forward before I whisper my question to my best friend.“What happened?” I asked with a tone.She groaned from the second line. “The car won’t start and class will start at seven-thirty. I could not dare to use the public utility vehicle since I am sure that I would be late if I’ll be riding it. Are you guys going now?”My lips parted. “We are still about to eat—““Okay then, tell your boyfriend to hurry up. It’s still almost quarter to seven anyway, I am sure you guys can fetch me by seve—““Leigh, what about Nathan?” I asked, changing eh subject. She could have just ask Nathan since he is always ready when it comes to her; unless they are still not over about their issues going on int heir lives.I massaged my temple whe
My eyes grew bigger when Damian drove the car fast, not giving me the chance to get out from his car until we reach the university gate. I started to panic when he slowly opened the window of his car for the guards to check who’s driving. In my own impulse, I switch my head to the right and cover my face with my hair in an instance. I even closed my eyes to act as if I am sleeping, silently praying inside that they won’t notice who I am and if I am a student here or what. Knowing who I am with. Being with this Mister Damian Shane Dawson would be so intriguing, not only for the students but the staffs of this university as well. Even that Security Woman in the school entrance is whipped over him—like it’s obvious.“Good morning.” Damian greeted and I could not help but to feel something cold running on my nape because of how he spoke. His voice sent shivers inside me even though I am not looking at him and juts by hearing him speak will ulti
Alaric and I look at each other when Rael started grinning in front of us. He then grab my plate that has my cheesecake before he eat a slice of my cake. I purse my lips together, holding myself from screaming at him.“God, it is still early to be mad…” I murmured to myself, trying to hide my temper.I saw how Alaric laugh while looking the both of us, then later on Rael motioned someone from the left side of the cafeteria, only to find out that it is Nathan.Rael move his brows up and down while looking at me. “It’s just me and my dragon.”I heave a deep sigh before shaking my head. Seeing only the two of them made me conclude that Levi went back in the condo since according to Everleigh, he was just wearing his PJs earlier so probably, Levi is still preparing for school. While these two men who share the table with us is well-dressed with a grin on their faces.“You order for us.” Rael ordered Nath
I eyed Nathan right after saying that. Instead of explaining right in front of my face what really is happening, he just shrug his shoulders before looking back at Rael who is now busy grabbing some foods as if he has no problems to deal with.With a shaking head, I let the thoughts go since I would only be the one to worry about him. Knowing Mansrael attitude, he is a happy-go-lucky person and people around would be more worried more than him. He take everything as a joke and temporary, which is not an ideal mind set for people in our age like us.We are damn adults, for petes sake!“Anyway, have you called Levi?” Nathan asked Rael then shifted his gaze right at me.Rael shake his head and I as well. “I did not. But Leigh called me that he asked him to send her to school. Car won’t run and Levi was only wearing his PJ earlier so he is still maybe at home at this time.” I plainly uttered while grabbing the other plate that Na
“Dionne, wait!”I stop on my own track the moment he held me by my wrist. I look at him behind me and saw him looking at the other person who is watching us as well. I cleared my throat while blinking my eyes to gather my poise back to face Mister Dawson.“Good morning, Mister Dawson.” Alaric greeted with a smile, looking so formal in front of our Professor. He then look at me so I stand straight before greeting the Professor as well but I look away immediately, remembering how frustrated I was because of him earlier.Dawson nod his head while looking at me. I wanted to eye him back thoroughly but with Alaric beside me, I stop myself for him not to be suspicious. The last thing I want to do is to get expelled from this university right before I graduated so I am trying my best not to ruin my record but this fat damn of a man seems like unbothered as if he did not make the deal clear himself before.“It’s almost time for
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
