Gwyneth’s POV
“K-Kalex?” I tried to call him out because he’s not paying attention at me since I got here inside his car.
Maybe he’s still mad at me and I feel guilty because of siding Kevin than him. Am I that bad? I didn’t know that they have a past and what makes me annoyed is that, I don’t even know what kind of story they have at past.
He picked me up earlier at my apartment and other than that, there’s no communication between us.
"Don’t you have plan of talking to me?” I asked him once again, hoping this time will make him do what I want. I don’t like the ambiance and awkwardness between us, so I badly need him to make our conversation lighter.
"Tsss"
Psh! What the h*ll is wrong with him? Does he have a mood swing or what? He’s so hard to deal with, swear!
Gwyneth’s POV“Hey! Wake up!” I heard someone yelling at me, making me pulled the comforter and me, behind it. Someone just slide the curtain in the sliding door, the reason why the reflection of the sunlight got unto my face.Ugh! This is so irritating. Can’t he just leave me alone early this morning?“Ten minutes more please.” I said, more like in a begging tone. My eyes still need sleep, so I don’t want to let my eyes suffer just because I lack of sleep.“Are you not going to come with us?” I heard him asked.Why the fuss? I was still drowsy and he was always talking to me. Is this a joke?"No. I am tired and have no enough energy to have fun with you. Suit yourself and enjoy. Now can you stop nagging me and go?” I answered lazily even though I didn't really know what he was referring to when he t
Gwyneth’s POV“Where’s Kevin?” I asked Kezza when I entered the kitchen and I see no body figure of him.Where that punk did went? I told him earlier to wait for me because I will just fix myself. I am not sure if he’s with the jerks, since most of them seems like doesn’t like his presence to be here.“He went home, and if you’re going to ask us why that is, I am sorry but I am not in the right place to tell you a story.” Samantha was the one who responded“What do you mean? Did something happen?” I asked her once more because what she said made me baffled.“Maybe something came up that’s why he left without bidding his goodbye,” Zaina said so I just nod but can’t help to feel disappointed.“Let’s go swimming!”I turned to fac
Gwyneth’s POVYesterday went past. I woke up early this morning because Zaina keeps on nagging on me and she wanted to go swimming again. Seriously? What’s so good of swimming when it is chilly outside? I was about to decline her favor but she blackmailed me, telling that she’ll gonna ruin my reputation at school if I won’t do her a favor. Of course, I know she can’t do that. Knowing her? She never did that ever to anyone. She can’t even bully jerks and b*tches at school... well, aside from badmouthing them."Hays! What kind of bathing suit is this?" I complained while adjusting what I was wearing.Why do I even following what they want? I almost died yesterday because of embarrassment when I tried to seduce Kalex, and now they wanted me to wear this two-piece they just gave? Psh.After I made trouble myself last night, I then entered the house and didn&rsquo
Gwyneth’s POV“Come on! Are you really that nervous? You already met her, right?” Kalex pulled me even more into their enormous house but I keep on pulling myself backward, just because afraid of what he is planning to do.I did meet his mom before, but of course I do not want to be into this kind of situation. I am not yet ready for what may about to happen.“Can we just do it in other day? I haven’t dress well and I don’t want to make your mom disappointed just because of how I look,” I reasoned out, trying to convey him that this is not the right time to make the introduction thingy. Besides, this is so ridiculous. Swear!After we left the rest house, I was surprised that he went straight to their house and said he would introduce me to his parents."I told you I wasn't ready yet." I try to get my hand back because he doesn't rea
Gwyneth’s POVThe meeting yesterday went well, except for his mom who kept on staring at me with those piercing eyes of her. I don’t even understand why she treated me that way; it was like as if I made her feel bad when I met her before. Did i? I can’t remember.Every bite I made yesterday, it was like there was a shotgun pointing at me, ready to aim me as soon as I made a mistake during the dinner. Had she gone mental? As much as I wanted to understand her, but my freaking b*tchy side keeps on telling at me that I shouldn’t let my guard off because she might be the reason why I should separate ways from Kalex."Good morning babe," Kalex greeted me with a smile when I arrived at the parking area of the condo where his car was parked."Morning" I smiled and later he opened the door for me so I immediately went inside.He called me this mornin
Gwyneth’s POVAfter what happened to the locker room, I went straight to the cafeteria without talking to Kalex. I hate him really! How could he let those b*tch come near him without my permission? Was he really trying to test my patience? He never failed to make me disappointed at him every single minute in an hour.“Kalex was now looking for you? Are you not planning to head back to the gym and cheer for him while he was on game?” I heard Zaina blabbering the moment she went back to our table.He accompanied me to come here because he said he was hungry and he wanted to eat first before watching the game of their department."Kezza called me. She told me that the third quarter is coming to an end and your department looks scared. What are your plans? Don’t you really want to watch? Kalex is acting again. "He added, causing me to be embarrassed.
Gwyneth’s POV“How was the game? Did I made you ran out of voice just because of cheering my name and supporting me through way?” Kalex asked me while he was busy wiping the sweat off his body. They just finished the game, and guess what; they won as what everyone expected aside from me. Despite Kalex only played during the last quarter, they did still able to won the trophy.We are currently in the locker room and even if I am not in the mood to talk to him and be with him now, he forced me to come with him even if I don’t want to."You're disgusting!" I complained when he threw me the towel he used to wipe. His touch, promise.He even approached me and hugged me tightly. "It smells good" he said and his body squeezed me even more.He is not porky and fragrant, he can smell me what he is sweating. It was still disgusting, especially the sweat he had
Gwyneth’s POVI was about to get up from my bed when I feel a sore down between my thighs. I rubbed my eyes, trying to remember what just happened last night.I roamed around inside the room and when I look at myself, there I found out that I was undress and only comforter was covering my body. What the heck? Where did my dress gone to?“Sh*t!” I was taken aback when I finally recovered from spacing out.Did we just— d*mn! Is this freaking serious? Oh my Ghad! Oh no! This can’t be. Why? Why did I give it to him? And I can’t f*cking believe that we made it inside my apartment. Nooo!!!Even though I was in pain, I forced myself to get up and go to the bathroom to get ready. I have to go to school because our department has a few more gimmick activities and so that I can talk to Kalex.After the rain stopped yester
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
