Gwyneth’s POV

“Gwyn!” 

I was taken aback when Kalex startled me as soon as I got inside the house. I rolled my eyes and went past him, not minding how he make face which made me more irritated than I was.

Aish. This jerk never changed. With his age? How I wish that he could somehow act like what his age usually does. Tch. 

“Did you enjoy your date with your friends?” he asked, following after me.

I turned a glanced at him to see him eye to eye, “Yeah, just like the— what the heck happened to your hand?” I automatically knitted my brow when I saw his swollen hand and held it in no time. “What have you done to make your hand swollen just like this?” I angrily said while keeping my serious gaze at him.

“Uh, it got burned earlier and—”

    Gwyneth’s POV“Renzo gave me a rang and he’s inviting us on a family outing. What do you think?” I asked Kalex after I ended my call with Renzo.He glanced at me, just a second and later brought back his gaze to the monitor of his laptop. He still has a hectic schedule, obviously.“Did he mentioned date if when will it be? Did you already told him that Justine will not be joining us because he is now at Germany?” he asked back.“He said, next will do. Besides, he’s not inviting us just because of Justine because he already knew that Justin flew to abroad few days ago. He’s just asking for a break after all these years,” I explained,"Sure, why not."I sighed. "Okay. Fix your schedule and I will fix my schedule too, so that we do not leave work.

    Gwyneth’s POVI wonder what’s gotten on him to make him feel act and like that, tch. He’s acting strangely as if we were not getting older, like duh! We’re too old to hear and say cheesy lines just like what he did.“Gwyn? Did you hear me?” Asha’s loud voice pulled me from spacing out and even snap her fingers in front of me.Aish. My mind keeps thinking of such nonsense things. I should refrain my mind from thinking such that."Hey, girl! Do you understand what I'm saying?" Asha caught my attention again.I cleared my throat. "Y-yes, what is it again?""You didn't understand! What's on your mind?" He even asked me a question.I laughed at his reaction. It seems like it was too frustrating then and you thought it was a huge problem."Nothing ..." I lied.She sighed. "We need to finalize the design, deadline tomorrow."

    Gwyneth’s POVThe next day I woke up with a bouquet of red roses next to me, I was not a fool to not know from whom it came. I slowly opened the small card placed on top of the fragrant rose.‘Good morning my moon, sorry for making you wait yesterday. have a great day!’Moon? Sounds familiar.I just smiled at his message and ignored my other thoughts. I just took the flower and put it neatly in the vase in the bedroom and downstairs. When I got down, I was even surprised to see that the table was in order, there were food ready there.After I arranged the flowers and put them in the vase I ate as well. When I opened the lid, I saw a yellow sticky note there. I read it and quickly smiled.‘eat your breakfast, don't starve, okay? And by the way, I buried the Caldereta you cooked, so don't sulk :))Aish. I can't hide my big smile, I know it's just a peace offering, but I can't help but

    Gwyneth’s POV“Double time! Surely, they’re waiting for us,” I shouted to Kalex because until now he’s still not done fixing himself.“Just a minute!” he shouted back as he’s still inside our room.I sighed and then I decided to wait him downstairs. It’s now November and the holiday season is just a month away. However, we will not be celebrating the holiday with Renzo because he will be leaving this month. Actually, our family held a farewell party for him.A minute later, I heard a footstep walking down the stairs, and there I saw Kalex who’s currently carrying our belongings. I even frowned in confusion when I saw him making a long face as if someone just made his day ruin. What the heck now is his problem?“Did I made you wait for so long to make your face turned into an irritated grimace?” he asked, then

I slowly walked over to the table as the whole house was slippery due to the rain.I was slightly startled by the hands that suddenly accompanied me, supporting me."Careful, the road is slippery." said Kalex and held me by the waist.I ignored him."I know...""But you do not know the disaster."I just looked at him and did not answer. When I had landed the food, I had roasted I first sat on the sofa, where Asha and I were singing."Finished?" Asha asked as I sat down next to her."Yep, are we going to eat?" I asked again.He looked at his wristwatch first before answering me."All right, let's just wait for the other food to be cooked." He replied.I just nodded and watched them happily singing on videoke. I did not sing even though they were forcing me, apart from being embarrassed I did not trust my voice.Time passed and they also wen

I just wanna say that, please be early tomorrow for a morning meeting, we'll discuss something new and important. Thank you!when I read that I put my phone back in the bag and fixed it. I turned to Asha who had also finished arranging her belongings."Do you have any plan if what is this for?” Asha asked me in surprise.I shrugged. "I don't know, I have no idea."After our conversation, we left the office at the same time. We even met other employees who were on their way home. When we got on the elevator, the two of us just kept quiet, apart from not being the only person inside, we were also very tired.the

Are you leaving now?” he asked.“Yeah, my mom just announced yesterday that we will be having a meeting this morning,” I replied.“Have you had breakfast?”“Yep.

I see no reason for her to be afraid of. Psh.“I’m nervous...” she replied with a sighed of uneasiness.“Nervous of what?” I queried“I wonder how my future will looks like. I am afraid that we might not gonna click with each other.

    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
