Gwyneth’s POV
“Sweetie? Open this door?”
I covered myself with my comforter, making sure that I wouldn’t see her if ever she’ll come inside my room.
“I am sorry if you think I crossed the line,” she said. I then heard an irking sound of the door; hint that she entered my room. “I didn’t mean to over cross the line, but...”
“I am not asking for your explanation,” I cut her off, still covering my body with my comforter.
She’s too much and I do not want her to dictate me again and again just because she’s my mom. I am already in a relationship with Kevin, but why is it so hard for her to accept? How lo
Gwyneth’s POVI woke up at exactly six in the morning and did my morning routine way back when I was staying at New Zealand. I wasn’t totally composed because of what happened last night. I haven’t talked to my mom and looks like they already left and I do not have an idea if when will they come back. I feel bad for not apologizing to her after making her feel down.After doing my thing, I went out of my room and the smell of roasted coffee welcomes me as I slowly making my way to the dining area. Is there someone in here other than me? I am not sure if my parents hired someone to prepare breakfast for me.Just to alleviate my hunger early this morning, I hurriedly entered the dining room and when I finally got in, I was greeted by the delicious food served and placed on the table. Who prepared this one? Seeing a lot of food makes me craves even more. Whoever prepared this breakfast, I’ll thank he
Gwyneth’s POV“Wait a minute, I am coming!” I said on the other line of the call as I was busy fixing my sandal and then hurriedly grabbed my satchel. “I am all done now, see ‘ya!” I ended the call and immediately went out of the main door of the mansion.Zaina gave me a ring earlier and told me that she was planning to shop at the mall. Samantha and Kezza will be coming as well because according to them, they missed me so much and wanted to spend more time while I am on my one month stay.I have been missing this place, that’s why I agreed to what they were planning. Besides, I will be just doing nothing at home because Kevin already flew to his fam state. It will just bore me to death if I let myself mingling all alone here at house.
Gwyneth’s POVI lazily entered my room and slumped my body into the king size bed with my eyes close, feeling how comfy and tender this bed is. They've already booked a room for a week while staying here at Florida Sanibel Island. I also found out the reason why I was dragged all the way here was because of Kalex's birthday which will be held here this week.If only I knew their intentions, I could at least make some lies or reasons just so I could make them stop from tagging me along with them. I am not even sure if I could be able to stay here for week after knowing it was all because of Kalex. I just hate how easily bring out about our past which surely cause a fight for the both of us. I do not want to fight with over a nonsense reason again and again.“Here are your clothes. Kalex bought that for you. ” Suddenly the door opened and she spat at Zaina with a bag in both of her hands.
Gwyneth’s POV“Where’s Rhian?” Kezza approached me as I entered the lobby.“Near the shoreline,” I replied and she just nodded curtly with a smile on her face before she left and walk towards the shoreline.All I did was just staring at her until she finally gone at my sight. It’s pretty obvious that she really is close to the girl named Rhian. I’ve been away for six years and I am sure that several things happened while I am away.“Hey? Is there something wrong?” I was taken aback and brought back from spacing out when Zaina appeared beside me. “You look anxious and I cannot tell why,” she added, making a right guess by just observing how my expression looks like.&nbs
Gwyneth’s POV“I rushed here after I wrap everything at work,” Kalex said after a moment of silence while staying here at cottage and feeling the cold breeze of the air.“I didn’t asked,” I said callously, not minding how would he feel with my sudden sarcasm and retort.I have no intention of talking to him not until he break the silence. I am still wondering of what happened earlier. all this time, I didn't know that the person whom I treated as my friend doesn't like me to be tagged along with them.“W-Why are you planning to leave?”I shifted my gaze to his direction and raised my perfectly shaped eyebrow. So, he still doesn't have an idea why I was urged to leave this instant? That is something to be thankful of.“I just don’t like staying here,” I lied but half was meant true.Rhian and Samantha were the one who doesn't like me staying here and I just feel like I d
Gwyneth’s POV“It’s now getting late,” Kalex said as he stood and then gazes down to me. “Don’t you have plan of getting inside the lodge?” he asked while hands inside his pocket.“Wanna go for a walk?” I asked him back, then stood as well and leveled into his height, though he’s few centimeters taller than me. “I mean, I feel like wanted to walk during this time, but if you are tired and just would like to rest, then it’s fine with me and—”
Gwyneth’s POV“There were no available ship for you to board on. It’s Sunday and obviously some of the ships going back to Miami were not available,” Zaina said while currently laying on my bed, busy teasing me that I can’t and will never get back home even if I want to.I tried calling Kevin’s number but he’s out of reach, so I turned off my phone before facing Zaina. “I badly need to go home,”I am afraid that Samantha and their so-called Rhian might find out that I am still here. Surely, it will just create chaos and another episode of our fi
Third Person's POV“I heard you were leaving,” Samantha said nonchalantly as soon as Gwyneth and Zaina arrived on their table.“Sam...” Kezza whispered, as if warning her not to cause any scene just like last night. Gwyneth just let passed what she just heard and sitted next to Kalex and Zaina then sit next to her vacant chair.“What? Am I not allowed to say a words?” Samantha raised her voice, causing everyone to look at her. The guys thought she was just playing fool and didn't mind her so they continued eating. While the girls who witnessed what just happened last night knew that it was not just something because there were deeper meant behind Sam's retort, making them anxious of what may the result of it.“Hays. The air starting to suffocate me,” Zaina mentioned as she rolled her eyes in annoyance. “Especially being in front of two-face b*tch,” she adde
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
