Gwyneth's POV
"We need to talk." I stated firmly to Denver, then grab him by the arm and dragged him out of the locker room.
I still manage to get out even though it's a bit crowded inside because of the scene he created in there.
"Hey slow down! Are you planning to trip me over?" I heard him whining but I simply ignored it and just continue to drag him with me until we finally got out of the gym.
Myriads of eyes were on us as we pass by and believe me dude, some are almost popping out of it's eye sockets. Goodness gracious they're bunch of prying creatures! Can't they just mind their goddamn business? Anyways, who would not dare to look at their oozing hot Denver, especially when a woman is holding his arm?
"Explain." I commanded, looking at him seriously after I let go of his arm.
I brought him here in the back of the gymnasium building. I have no choice, do I? What he did earlier will probably be the talk of the town for
Gwyneth's POVMy chest is still hammering as if I ran a mile. I'm getting myself ready for my last breath as the door agonizingly open. I closed my eyes and braced my head for whatsoever that's going to come. I bite the inside of my cheeks, silently cursing for getting myself in this cubicle. Jinx is really after me today. Of all other cubicle's I could enter, why did I get myself in this one?"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdropped on your convo with someone. I-It's just so happened that I am currently changing my clothes, so I didn't get out right away when you entered. I-I promise not to tell anyone about what I've heard. I'll also do whatever you asked me to do without anything in return. Just don't hurt me please." I entreated, stumbling over my words after she successfully got the door open.I couldn't face her. I'm afraid that she'll snap my neck the moment I laid my eyes on her. I can't die yet, not now. I still have plans for eterni
Gwyneth’s POV"Did you even have a good sleep last night?" Zaina asked me as we made our way to our first subject this morning. "You look horrible! Like, look at those shocking eyebags. Girl, you look like a dehydrated larva." She pointed out as if her eyebags are not as dreadful as mine. TchThe letter I've read keeps coming back into my mind. It made me feel uneasy everytime I think about it. I can barely close my eyes for goddamn sake! No one knows what happened back in the locker room yet, neither Zaina nor my auntie. I don't want to rush things out cause in the first place, I don't even know who that woman is. I'm dying to ask Kalex if he saw a woman before he barged into the cubicle yesterday, but I am afraid he'll ignore me after yesterday's incident.“Our first period will be held in the lecture hall today. Same goes with Kalex's section. ”It made me come to a halt when Zaina mentioned Kalex's name. "Really?" I surprisingl
Gwyneth's POVI paid the lunch I get for myself and trod my way to our usual table, not taking my eyes off the man in front of the counter. I slowly place a tray of food on the table, still looking oddly at the man in line.“Girl, are you effin' serious? Oh my my my, he's a hunk!”I immediately covered Zaina's blabbering mouth with my delicate hand. He might hear us talking about him for goddamn sake!"Just this once, keep your voice down please." I desperately pleaded her in a hush, getting my hands off her mouth. "He might hear you." I added indignantly.She just shrugged her shoulder, acting like she doesn't give a fuck.“That Quir guy is helluva ravishing. I mean, look at those oozing muscles. Girl, he's fucking hot! I can't find it in me to believe that he was your childhood friend. Are you bluffing, huh? ” she whispered with thrill in her voice.I am not in a mood for a storytelling.Why woul
Gwyneth's POV“Raise your standard. You two are not a good fit."I saw how Zaina choke on what she was eating which Denver acted upon and immediately offered his water to my friend. Kalex on the other hand was utterly pissed off, this made him stop from eating and glared daggers at the smirking Quir."What the hell is your problem?" Kalex aggressively ran his hands through his hair while looking seriously at Quir. Judging by his stance and the tone of his voice, he's already exasperated.I suddenly felt anxious, not knowing what do to. I bit the inside of my cheeks, spook of what could happen next. I mean, they're furious as hell, that they could turn this cafeteria into ashes with the intensity of their stares."Hey, buddies! What's for lunch?" Suddenly someone appeared behind us causing me to whip my head back. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it's just Yuki, the one whom Zaina met earlier this day. "I went with Allaine for
Kalex's POVI passed the ball to Denver then made my way towards the closest bleacher. I grabbed my towel and started wiping the sweat off my body."Any plans for tonight?" Denver inquired, dribbling the ball as he got closer to where I am."Nothing except being stuck in my condo since mom hasn't unfreeze my cards yet." I answered, still wiping the sweat off me.Denver shot the ball in the three-points lane, and I laugh my ass off when he wasn't able to make a good shot."Here's your energy drink, masters." Yuki throw a bottle of energy drink to each one of us. I effortlessly caught it in just a hand same goes with Denver. "By the way, I come face to face with Gwyn earlier. I was about to talk to her, but it seems like she wanted to be alone. She acted strange and it seems like her mind is on another dimension. Is she doing okay?" He asks turning his gaze on me but soon diverted
Kalex’s POVI slowly opened my eyes and I was welcomed with an unfamiliar white tiled ceiling, flashing above me.Where the hell am I? What just happened?“Kalex? Thank goodness, you’re awake.” How can I not recognize that voice, it’s mom. “Call up the doctor, tell him my son is already conscious." My mom immediately ordered the men in a black suit, who quickly left the room.So I’m in an hospital? No wonder why I had this weird feeling in my stomach. While I was trying to lean my head back on the headboard, I felt something sharp poking on my veins. When I check what it is, it was some kind of needle, I perceived an IV drip needle. Oh c'mon! “Why did you passed out in front of your school gate? I was so— ”"How many times do I have to remind you how I loathe needles?" I cutted her off, removing the effin' IV attached to m
Gwyneth’s POVThe morning session of our class just ended. I packed my stuffs as soon as our professor dismissed us. Most of my classmates got exhilarated because guess what? We will be unoccupied for the next two hours. Yeah! We have two hours for our vacant time and I think it's a good thing."Double time, Zaina!" I shouted at my friend and left the room first.I planned to meet with one of my clients since Kalex was not around. He needs to take some rest because he just got out from the hospital yesterday. Besides, he told me last time that he would only call out to me when he needs my acting skills. And, as upsetting as it is, he didn't call me even once. So, I wanna make use of my idle time earning sparking pennies.“Hey? Do you have any stomping ground in mind that we could stay in for the next two hours?” Maureen is approaching me who just came out of our room."Are yo
Gwyneth’s POV"For goodness sake! Why did you tell him my whereabouts? And why didn't you inform me that he attended his classes today?" I frustratingly grumbled as we follow Kalex's hot trail.Ugh! This woman is going to be the death of me. She informed Kalex that I am meeting with my client today, that’s why that man showed up earlier and is now fuming like hell. Is she some sort of informant now? Tch“You didn't warn me not to let Kalex know what you were doing. So basically, it’s not my fault at all. ” Zaina answered trying to let herself off as a subject to the blame."Fuck it!" I face-palmed in utter annoyance, disheveling my brown wavy locks in frustration before increasing my pace going after Kalex.The negotiation with my client earlier was unsuccessful because of the sudden burst out of my 'boyfriend'. I didn't even got a chance to formally bid goodbye to Lukas. What a shame.“Hey! Are you
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
