I tilted my head towards the left upon hearing that from my cousin. She is eyeing me curiously right now but neither can’t I tell her about it.
My lips parted before shaking my head continuously. “W-We did. I mean, it was before when the second semester just started
I look at her when she does her usual habit of playing with her lower lip while looking away, maybe weighing things herself.
Why would Elric come back here in the first place? He exactly knows that the owner of this restaurant is my cousin. This place is very special for us. We always celebrate our days in here back when we were still together, and my cousin keeps on supporting us even way back from our first month. And now, I don’t exactly understand why he still keeps on going back here?
“Maybe he just really like your foods here that is why he keeps on coming back.” I muttered while grabbing my phone from my hand bag for an excuse. I then tap the screen to open
I gasp in silence before covering my mouth so that Mister Dawson won't notice me just behind him. I look around once more, checking if there are no other people around who can see me and when I saw that students come and go, I hide behind the few cars from him."Look at this playboy. After letting me sign a document for our set up, I'll find out that he is crouching with other woman?" I whispered, annoyed.I don't know, but I am still piss about what he said earlier that I should try HIV Testing when in fact, he is the one who got another woman?I could not see it clearly on who he is kissing with inside his car so I took another steps while still hiding from the other car."Then why will he use me and agree with my offer of he got a woman–""Baby, wait!" He screamed this time before he steps out then few seconds later, a big dog jumped from his car window. My heart raises when it goes towards my direction, groaning, so I started to get anxio
"We goin' wild!" I screamed while I spread both of my arms on the air.Rael, who is always been my companion when doing something like this, is running his wheels behind me while laughing. "Slow down, we are on a highway!"I showed him my thumbs up with a nod before I make a few push-offs once again and pivot my feet on the board until it will slowly move.Few more runs until we reach the long dashway where there has a park in front of it. The road is being separated with tall palm trees on the center so we move towards the right side before sliding off once again."Damn, take it slow. Levi will surely rant if something happens on his board."I snap at him before pushing off once more. The moment I reach the end of a gutter, I made a little trick on it but my balance went kinda off so I landed automatically on the ground, letting the skateboard run towards the other side."Woah, woah!"I turn around
I am both spacing out and worried at the same time on what will happen for today. Alaric contacted me last night that he talked with Mister Dawson and the latter just told him that we should wait for his final words since he is still verifying each group’s topics and subjects. It’s Saturday today and I got two classes for today unlike the last few days where I am always vacant and going out to and fro. And since it is Saturday today, we don’t have to meet with Mister Dawson in class since he don’t have a schedule with us as well.As I am about to go to my Media literacy class, I met Nicollete and her friends on the hallway. They are walking s if they own the place with their all-smiles faces. I purse my lips for I don’t know the reason is. The first time I met her, I was fine with her but later on, she is slowly getting on my nerves.“Hi, Dionne!”From my pursing lips, I smiled with a little force to return back the atte
As soon as I sane myself up inside the car, I check for my face once again for any possible signs from crying but when I saw that there wasn’t, I grab my handbag this time to apply some lip balm on my lips. My eyebrows’ make up smudged so I have to do it once again and prep myself up to look good as soon as I come out from the car. While fixing myself, I could not help but to sniff and is trying my best not to fall a tear while I am doing my smudged make up. It took me almost ten minutes to finish myself face before I purse a smile in front of the rear-view mirror."I have to look good." I whispered confidently. "Walking away from that place is a wrong decision and I must show him that I am over him and can be with the same place with him." I added while combing my hair this time."There!" I exclaimed, before finally flashing a smile. "My eyes kinda look puffy but I still look the same though."A
I look on my left side when I felt the need to look so and saw Mister Dawson look away from my side. My heart races a beat."Hey."I move my glance back to Alaric when he called my attention. He is now smiling at me before pushing my plate closer to me. "The foods are here." He said, pointing the foods using his lips.I force a smile and look at Mister Dawson's side once again but he is already walking out from the cafeteria."You are close with Mister Dawson?"My eyes bulges a little but I am trying my best not to show it to him, instead, I shake my head consecutively to put down his silly ideas.Me? Close with Mister Dawson? How am I supposed to be close with him when he is that cold and stoic?I hissed this time before I eat a spoon of rice. "I only knew him recently so I have no clue about him except from the fact that he is a famous Professor." I plainly said.Alaric chuckle
I look at Alaric with a tilting head before I notice Leigh going curious as well as she lean towards him.“What do you mean?” I asked when I found the words to ask towards him.He give me a glance before crossing both of his arms over his chest then look at Elric’s side. “Not that big though—““Come on, dude, it’s a big deal.” Everleigh cut him off immediately.“Hush.” I stopped her when I can see how impatient she gets right now. I look back at Alaric and he seems surprise when Leigh did that. “I am so sorry about her.” I wet my lips before I look up at the two men behind Everleigh and I. “Did you by chance heard something about me and—““No, no, it is not what you think, guys. What I meant is that the members kept on teasing Elric during our breaks and some often almost wants him to give a lesson, wanting to say that your relationship
Mister Dawson stare at me for a long seconds before he finally turn his body to my side with a nodding head. “If that is what it requires then why n—““Oh my gosh, you are taking the situation for granted—“He pointed the paper on top of the table before clearing his throat professionally. “Then write down all your conditions, why are you becoming loud?”My eyes widens and my nostrils flared up even more. “Who would not? I am still wasn’t sure about this decision I made and now you are adding another box to the piles!” I exclaimed, walking to and fro in front of him.I can obviously feel how my blood rush up and down and my head spins up, digesting every information he was talking about. My forefinger move up to my mouth and I bite it anxiously while still processing things.Mister Dawson sighed across me before he took the document on top of the table. “Okay, you’ll gonn
I am pouting while holding the strap of my bag, wanting to get annoyed but I could not help but to laugh at the same time. Mister Dawson freaking kicked me out of his office because of that pen, what the hell. Yes, he kicked me out! I haven’t even got the chance to sign the document since he was so frustrated as hell and that time, it feels like I finally have won against him without my intention. I mean, it’s not my entire fault, okay? I am not aware that the pen cost him a thousand dollar and I ruined its cap because once again, I don’t know.I bit the side of my cheek once again, containing my laughter. I am in the middle of the hallway and there are some students I walk through. Later on, I chuckle one more time before hopping a little, whispering: “Yes!” before continued walking cheerfully towards the university exit. Since I still got few hours before sunset, I decided to go shopping and pick a flannel slippers. I even pouted a little after
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
