Gwyneth’s POV
I emptied the wine that I had brought to the rooftop of the hotel where the celebration is being held for Kalex's grandfather's 60th birthday.
I looked at the tall buildings and then shook my head. Is there no one below these? It looks like there is still a contest going on and whoever has the tallest building is the winner.
"I ... I d-didn't expect to see you here,"
I turned to the person next to me when he suddenly spoke. "No worries, the feeling is mutual," I replied angrily then stared at him.
"You surely will be the talk of the town starting tomorrow," he whispered nonchalantly while also observing the towering buildings.
Third Person's POV“I was embarrassed in front of a lot of people, but why did he go to her right away? Why not me?" Gwyn's statement to his companion Kalex seemed depressing.He is currently intoxicated at the bar owned by Kalex's brother. he has no other imaginable place to take Gwyneth even though he is more confident he is more secure here because he has a strong attachment to the owner in case someone does not please the woman with him."Maybe your Dad knows that you can handle the unexpected situation compared to Allaine," he replied, making Gwyn shook its head in disbelief."That's not even a valid reason," she quickly responded then sipped the alcohol she was drinking while Kalex did nothing but watch her because she was sure even though she did not want to stop drinking because she was so down to happened earlier.“I saw them earlier at the parking lot. Dad w
Gwyneth's POV"Good morning, class?" our professor in philosophy greeted us but no one bothered to greet him in return."Good morning Prof" we all turned to the newcomer"Mister Fuevo? I think you've reached the wrong classroom," prof stated upon his sudden arrivalWhat is that one doing here? As far as I know, he was from class A, so what is he doing here in our section? Don't tell me he will call me at the guidance office because his plan did not go ahead yesterday and then I will be expelled for a month, then my parents will be angry because --- OK! I was so preoccupied with what might happen. Why should I be afraid? eh, he shoul
Gwyneth's POV"SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND. SO BACK OFF DUDE! STOP HITTING ON MY GIRL IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO END YOUR FVCKIN' LIFE!"Why is he acting like that out of the blue? Does he even hear what he was saying? He's putting the spotlight on me and I am sure students will get the wrong idea."DID YOU ALL HEAR THAT?" I averted my eyes on the other side when I heard Nero spoke as soon as he took the mic from Aiko.I was too dazed and didn't notice that Kalex already dragged me down off the stage.How come I became his girlfriend all of a sudden? I can't remember when he started to court me. Aish."You just hit t
Third Person’s POV“Wake up, b*tch! We are running out of time if you won’t get up this instant!” Zaina shouted at the top of her lungs while busy shaking Gwyn’s shoulder just to wake her up.She stood and walks out of her friend’s room and checked for the ninth time their new size uniform. “Are you still not gonna wake up?” she yelled once again and almost losing her patience. She’s a short-tempered girl aside from being nosy and loud.“This looks cute though obviously too revealing,” she commented while staring at their skirt."WAKE UP NA GWYN! We now only have thirty minutes! Why is it so hard for you to wake up? What did you do yesterday? Do you still working your old job even after knowing you’re rich just
Gwyneth’s POV“Wear this one,” Kalex ordered me after throwing men’s pants, making me look at him in confusion.Seriously? Why would I wear that kind of getups? Do I look like desperate enough to wear a thing that really doesn’t fit me? That kind of pants is twice bigger than my normal thighs, so how do I suppose to get comfortable if I were to use that?“Who are you to command at me? You’re not even asking my confirmation if whether that pants passed my standard or not when it comes to what I am used to.” I said, lifting my chin, declining what he told me.He made me embarrassed in front of the students yesterday. I learned from it and I do not want to make the same embarrassment again twice.
THIRD PERSON’s POV“Don’t dare talk to me!” Gwyneth yelled at Kalex when he keeps on following behind her."Babe, I'm sorry" he tried to stop his girlfriend from walking but she didn't want to stop"What!" she then slapped his hand when he was about to hold her."I'm just kidding you, but what I said earlier is true""Tsss" Gwyneth accelerated her walk even more, so the young man just sighed at his gesture.F * L * A * S * H * B * A * C * K"I love you. I really do "the young man's eyes were looking at him seriously and he was obviously
Third Person's POV"Let's enjoy this night, guys!" Denver shouted at his friends and drank his beer.They are here at the bar owned by Aiko's parents to celebrate Kalex's transformation."Celebrate the resurrection of the compatriots' heartshahahaha " Yuki also shouted at the same time"CHEERS!"While everyone was having fun, Kalex couldn't help but be stunned by the over-thinking of how he would start what Gwyneth had told him."Aiko! Lend me a laptop" Kalex ordered his friend to drink."H-Ha ?why? ""Damn
Gwyneth’s POV“What’s up? How was your sleep?” Aiko asked me as soon as I got out of my apartment.What is he doing here? How did he able to find my place? Perhaps he needs something that’s why he came all the way here.“What brought you here? Do you need something from me?” I asked headlong, while padlocking the door.I see no reason for him to come here, knowing we’re not that close and he was just a mere friend of Kalex. He has no connection with me aside from that.“Kalex told me to fetch you and drive you to school," he replied reluctantlyWhy didn't that pervert just follow me? Isn't he flirting?"Hurry! We shouldn’t miss the first subject," he opened the passenger seat so I just shrugged and went inside and adjusted the seatbelt"Wher
Gwyneth’s POV"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Local time is ten past three in the afternoon and the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius ..."I can't help but to feel all the excitement as the crew announced that our plane landed. I've been peeking out the window for a while now because I really want to set foot in the Philippines again. It has only been six months, but it feels like forever since the day I've been here. I was excited to see Jase and Kalex. We video called almost every night and they also went to see me at Christmas. They stayed there for the whole holidays but it's not enough to compensate my longing for the two.The hard battle of homesickness!"Have a nice stay ma’am!" one of the crew greeted me before I went down on the plane. I gave her a smile.When I got off the plane, I went straight to a bus that the staff p
Gwyneth’s POVI woke up with the clamorous knocking on my door. I looked at my clock; it's already 11 in the evening. Who would bother to visit me at this time? I don’t even know why I was on my out to see me at this hour when in fact I still had to sleep because my flight will be early tomorrow at five in the morning. I was still yawning while rubbing my eyes as I walk to the door."Gwyn! Gwyneth! Are you there?!" My yawning stopped and my eyes widened when I heard Kalex's loud voice. I immediately ran towards the door thinking that something might have happened to Jase."Kalex?" he was sweating and gasping as he put his hands on his knees to support himself. He's wearing his usual sleeping clothes, his jersey short and a white cotton shirt. "What are you doing here? Why are you gasping?""I ... took ... the ... stairs." He said as his chest is heaving from the gasps. It took me a second
Kalex’s POV"What's up?" Demitri asked as he sits in front of me. I asked him if he could come because I needed someone to talk to. I need someone who could knock some sense out of me. "Where's Jase?""Upstairs. Sleeping." I replied before I took a sip from the glass of whiskey in my hand. I know he's waiting for me to start talking but I fucking don't know where to fucking start."It's about Gwyneth, isn't it?" He asked when I didn't say anything. My chest tightened by the mere sound of her name. I miss her. I miss calling out her name and how she smiles at me in the morning."She's ... she's leaving tomorrow." I said in a low voice as I remember what she said five days ago. I don't even know how long she'll be gone. I was afraid to ask.My mind went crazy by just the thought of her leaving with that fucker and all I ever said to her was that she doesn't need to worry ...
Kalex’s POV"Mommy you're going with us tomorrow, right?" Jase asked Gwyn again as he draws on his book. I peeked at my son's ipad to see Gwyn's face. She's as beautiful as ever."Yes baby, how many times have you asked me that already? You silly kid!" I can't help but to chuckle as I chop the vegetables for our dinner. Jase quickly glanced at me and grinned."I'm just reminding you mommy in case you forget." I shook my head. Jase just reminded Gwyn for the third time in fifteen minutes since they started talking.He was actually referring to her school activity. Since it's family day, parents are requested to attend the said event with their child at school. Jase has been talking about it since he learned that Gwyn and I are both going. I refuse to be absent on his first family day.They talked for an hour. I love hearing their voice and their funny conversations, especial
Gwyneth’s POV"Why are you so quiet?" Quir asked me as we ride the elevator. I was on my way down earlier when I ran into him and he asked me to have lunch with him."Jase is with Kalex now and I don't have anything to do because I've already made all the proposals for my next event. I just need to submit." I sighed.This has always been my problem ever since Kalex and I had an agreement. When Jase isn't by my side I can't do anything so I usually just read a book until I fall asleep. Everything's just boring whenever Jase's not at home.Quir and I decided to eat outside the company. Sometimes the food is also boring because the menu is almost always the same."So I was thinking, how about we go out tonight?" He asked as we eat at one of our favorite place near the hotel. It's delicious here in case there's majesty so we only eat here when new wages.
Gwyneth’s POV"Excellent job, Gwyn." I beamed at as he opened his arms and I ran towards him to hug him. He picked me up and turned me around."I did it!" I shouted at him and we were both laughing. "The senator loved the theme for the party ... he loved everything."They even popped a confetti for me. One of our officemates opened a bottle of wine to celebrate and gave me one. "Cheers to Gwyneth!"After months of preparing one of the biggest events of the year, I'm just so glad I finished the job. Who would have thought that I would host a politician's birthday party?I've been the event manager of big business men in the country but the aura is still different when your clients are influential in the Philippines. I met the president, the vice president, and even celebrities last night! That’s how big was the event that I organized and I'm happy to see the proud look
Gwyneth’s POV"Sorry you had to wait." Kalex said as he took the seat in front of me. I stared at him intently while calling the server to give him coffee.Short stubbles are starting to grow on his chin. There are bags under his eyes and his hair is too long. To some, I'm sure he looked fine, but I know him too well to see that he's not. That's not the Kalex I know. These past few days must've been hard for him.I was making it hard for him."What do you want to talk about?" He asked after his coffee was served in front of him. His eyes made its way to mine, but then he immediately looked away. To this day he still can’t look at me."I'll go straight to the point." He nodded as he mixed his coffee. "I heard you ... at the bar. I heard what you said to Demitri." That made him look at me.His eyes are full of guilt that confirmed that everything I
Gwyneth’s POV"Quir?" He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I'm okay."You scared me back there." He said and shook his head."I'm sorry. She just came out of nowhere." Said a man approaching us. He seems to be the driver of the car. He helped us stand up. "I really didn't see you." The man approached me. "Are you hurt? Should I bring you two to the hospital?""No. We're fine." Quir replied with a smile and then they talked. He glanced at me before shaking hands with the driver who said goodbye."So, what are you doing here besides killing yourself?" He joked. I was embarrassed to close my eyes because of his question."I haven't seen it." Is this man like everyone who sees me like this? I looked up at him when he chuckled. Since Quir is much taller than me he put his hands on top of my head and beamed at me."Let's get some
Gwyneth’s POVI walked into the building and went straight to Kalex's office. I can sense all those stares from the people here. I know others here know me because I was once Kalex’s high school friend. Maybe that’s also the reason why some of them were staring at me.I just ignored them because I have nothing to do with them anyway. I came here because of Kalex and they weren’t my goal. I also hate people looking at me, as if spotlight was pointing at me as of this moment. It looks like I’ll be their topic once I turned my back at them. These dumb as* has really nothing to do instead of focusing on their work. Tch.While walking to Kalex’s office I came across a kid chasing a ball. He was running and not looking to where he's going so I tried to avoid but he still collided with me, causing him to fall to the floor. Awts. His back must be hurt.“A
