Chapter 128: Him
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56My life were usual for the past days and weeks. All the shows, and my runaway I don’t see Thomas. It's better if I will let myself not overthink of something, especially since Alonzo has already noticed that.
I glanced at Kier, my long time partner in modeling career. I always had this feeling that he's hitting on me, but I guess he's just being friendly.
"Many are curious, Ingrid .. Do you already have a boyfriend?" The Emcee teases us.
He jokingly glanced at Kier next to him before turning back to me. I laughed at him, while I catch the serious gaze of Kier beside me. Well, they say that we had a secret relationship with my co-model and we just didn’t want to admit it, and I was enlightened with my one on one interview and many still don’t believe.
My lips rose and half-open. Can't figure out if to laugh because this question has been asked several times.
"No. I'm just more focus on works and modeling .." I said wholeheartedly.<

With jaw clenching I grinned at him. She seems annoyed with every question I ask about them and Jiusel. Well, maybe he's shy, but I'm not sure of it. My lips parted and I turned to him. My lips started to curved when I saw confusion on his eyes. Obviously unwilling to answer my question.I snapped at him. Her every move was emphatic, as she picked up the cutlery. The sharp eye took too long to focus on food."I'll just want to know. Is that forbidden?"The storm in his eyes tell how strict and serious he is. I eyed him intently, not focusing on his expression, but for his answer."Fine .. She's doing well." aniya.I don’t know why, but I sense something unusual. I just ignored it and continued eating. From time to time I saw his glance but it didn’t last long either.I'm not sure if I'm comfortable whether he's near or around, but I want to stay compose, and professional. We're here to discuss something, and maybe a little questi

I didn't know that I'll be back for it again. Like a ton of waves circling around on me, hanging like a chained. Like how the sunset become an epitome of light and a single hope shining with it. But still it won't last, because darkness might take over. No it will consume it.I closed my eyes tightly to see the sadness in Rina's eyes. Three days after Centru and I broke up, I immediately knew this would happen.I sat while they watched. Rina didn't smile even I tried harder. I could feel his detachment there. I was about to utter a words when she started to bombard me."We know you're mourning, Ria!""But it doesn't mean you'll hurt, Centru…" she blurted out.I shut my eyes there. I bit my lip as I lifted my gaze to the book I was holding. We're supposed to be reviewing but I think that wouldn't do.I heard Elton sneeze there. I sighed and eyed the two of them. I could see the annoyance in Rina's eyes as she stared at me."Rina

I don't know when I felt like this again, all I know is it wasn't usual."Covering you, on camera."I sighed and drifted my eyes to the media who were busy. I adjusted myself before slowly removing his hold on me. Though, his grip wasn't hard, so it was also quickly removed.I chuckled and eyed the different luxury car. I wonder where his car was? I didn’t realize he was with me and had something to talk about. All I think were the his car.I grinned. "Thanks for being a gentleman, Thomas .."His thick brows shot up. He adjusted his clothes before finally glancing at me. If curse were free, I would probably curse him in anyway. His mouth was open watching me, I

It was then fine, but little did I know there's another wave of pain, that made my heart shattered more. I thought then it was over. It's like a dream with a countless of melancholic scene.That you're still awakening by it. Everytime you'll fall in sleep the trance embraced you. And it's too exhausting.I turned to Rina while talking. She sighed as she stared at me fully. He didn’t question me after I told him a few details. But I know she's just doing her best to stay silent. To remain my composure.His nose was red there. She's too fair that it's too visible. She wiped away her tears as she watched me. My chest clenched there. Through out the years I've been keeping it for myself, I finally opened it up."I was stoic person. I don't had plenty friends…" I paused to breathed.I could feel pity and pain in his gaze. I was shaking there. Is it too much? I shook my head and continued."If there are only a few.""I wasn't c

"Atleast breath, Ria." she mumbled.He looked at me sadly. Her words inflict pain for me. It was as if a thorn had pulled me out of there. I don't know if I'm still living. I really don't know. I'm breathing but it seems I'm dead and lost my own soul. I smiled at him. Her eyes widened there."You can come with us every break!" she added."It's okay. Don't get intimidated by Centru." he laughed.Center brows furrowed. Rina looked at it and returned her gaze to me. Elton grinned at Rina. I laughed there too. I missed being with my friends, and it pained me a lot seeing them. How are they?I laughed there. Centru forehead creased as he watched me."He had a crush on you…" Rina smirk at me.I smiled there shyly. That is not new. It's not too foreign on me anymore. I turned to Rina. I bit my lowerlip when I think of someone. It was as if something had stuck in my throat there. Eight years without reconnecting with her pained me a lo

I sighed, and glared at Alonzo while fixing my strand of hair. He knows it! I feel cringe everytime he stared at me teasingly, and then diverting his attention again.Wearing a cute beige silky dress I turned to Alonzo. While Milan and Cienne having a talk that suddenly stopped when I head to the large table."Hot chocolate?" Milan offered.I nodd and gently thank him."Uh- Theres someone who sent flowers .." Cienne said out of the blue.My eyes narrowed at her, curious to what she is saying. I immediately realized that when I noticed Alonzo's look and smile."Improve? There's a paflower right away." I turned at him."Is there a name?""No, but there's a note."I raised a keen gaze it was different from what I usually receive backstage. Holding a plain roses, obviously not too curious to choose. I couldn't help but think of Thomas. I was criticized there.I was embarrass the whole time. My eyes rested to the note.

He turned to me with oozing darkness. Disgusted, I matched his gaze."We haven't been .. She's only my friend, and uh .. You-"I cut him to oppose him. His lips felt sorry for me. Grinning with so much amusement with it. The irritation got worse and worse."Fling? While he's gone ?!" I insisted as I saw him blink seemingly with difficulty.He muttered something, and it give chills to me. My lips were parted after hearing his sudden words. My mix still didn't change and I just cared more.He smirked, while he caught me rolling my eyes. "What ?! You're my girlfriend back then,"I couldn't answer that. It was as if I had accumulated too much air and could not utter a word."How 'bout you? Maybe you prefer that engineer!" he lamented while firing back a hot seat question.I laughed now. He's been so possessive, I don't know if I'll be happy there, but .. Some part of me oppose each other. I forced myself to calm down. But his menac

Then gently, I feel like, I'm finally back."Sexy huh? Tan?" Bianca said.I turned to him. Nothing was changed, still the same. But to know that being back, make me so stiffened. It felt something unrealistic, because I knew I was still in pain. And when I eyed Jiusel in airport, I got even colder.Maybe she's waiting for Thomas huh? It was as if a dagger had pierced my chest. I bowed. I tried to smile in awe."So slim, Ingrid. Gym?" aniya."Yeah .." I smiled tiredly.I blushed at the way he stared. She really knows me, even after all what happenned."I didn't remember you having a large boobs than me!" she said frustrated.What the heck ?! I blinked and laughed, I looked at Kuya for a long time. I grinned when I received a warmth smile plastered on their lips

I didn't know that coming this back would be so much painful. I sneezed as everyone turned around. The scenery changed here a lot. My chest tightened as I noticed a few changes as I descended.
