Daisy's POV
I was in my room trying to write the first chapter of a book. I got a new inspiration the day before when Nina and Amar were arguing and I thought of writing something close to that. I felt like writing about adult romantic fiction, but I had the intention of chipping in a few things that were real...such as what was between Nina and Amar, and also my father and mother.I really wish and hope Nina and Amar would get back together. They loved each other so much and none of them could deny it. I knew Nina was trying to deny the fact that she still loved him.Even though my first book was rejected and we haven't gotten a response yet on the second book I submitted to the publishing company in the Philippines, as Nina asked me to, I wasn't discouraged. I felt that writing another book before the response come, whether negative or positive, will not discourage me at all from writing, just like it happened when my first book was rejected. I intended tDaisy's POVI was in my room typing on my laptop after I finished cooking dinner around 6 pm, without letting Nadia enter the kitchen when my phone rang.Nadia complained of headaches after spending some time with me in the room and I asked her to go take a nap. When I was almost done cooking, she came into the kitchen and gasped when she saw that I was already done with everything."Hello", I said into the phone, without checking the caller. My eyes were fixed on the laptop.I had achieved my aim for the day. I was able to finish up my first chapter and I was on the second when the call came in. I was trying to finish up the second chapter before going to take a shower and get ready for my outing with Stanley."I'm outside, Daisy", I heard Stanley's voice and I gasped."You are outside?" I questioned."Don't tell me you aren't ready?" He asked. I checked the time on the laptop and cursed under my breath. It was almost 8 pm."I'm s
Daisy's POVI woke up the next day with a throbbing headache. I figured my screaming the night before led to a heavy headache.I got out of bed grudgingly and pulled out a pill for headache before going downstairs to get some water from the fridge. I had the intention of going to check up on Stanley but since I was having a headache, I decided to just stay in bed all day.I walked briskly into the kitchen and was about to bring out a bottle of water to take the pills when my eyes landed on the pack of cereals on the kitchen counter, probably the one Ellah took. My stomach growled at that instant.I took the water out from the refrigerator and poured some cereal into a bowl. I added water into the bowl and began to scoop it into my mouth with a spoon. I finished it in minutes before dumping the pills into my mouth, then swallowed with large gulps of water which I poured into my mouth directly from the bottle.I knew I needed to sleep to overcome the hea
I slept for two hours after leaving Nina's room before getting prepared to go and pick Daisy up from school.I couldn't believe Nina and Amar had sex. To say I was happy was an understatement. I knew it was good news to have another beautiful thing springing up between them. I hoped Danny wouldn't take it bad. I was already feeling bad for him.I tried as much as I could to cheer Nina up. It wasn't the end of the world. She shouldn't feel sorry for something that wasn't her fault. I told her not to let go of Amar for the second time, so she doesn't end up regretting it.I wore a white turtleneck and a black leather skirt and was about to leave my room when my phone rang. It was Stanley."Hey babe", Stanley called."Hi, Stanley, I was just about to call you", I lied. "How are you feeling now?""I wasn't sick", I imagined him rolling his eyes."You had a broken nose", I reminded him."I took care of that already, so I'm fine.""Now yo
Nina's POVIt was already a week since I last saw Amar. I had no idea whether he had gone home to India like I asked him to or China or if he was still in America. I was worried and I hoped he was fine. I felt stupid for talking to Daisy about him, I felt like a teenager who was in love. But Daisy was a good listener and counsellor.I couldn't muster up the courage to call him. But when I couldn't take it anymore, I called Damien."Hello mom", he greeted softly."Damien, how are you doing?""I'm fine, mom", he replied."Are you ok? Why are you sounding that way?""Nothing." He said."Are you sure?""Yes, mom. I'm good.""Ok. I just called to hear from you. When are you coming home?""I have a few more things to round up. I hope to finish by next week." He replied."Ok." I murmured and kept quiet."We'll talk later, mom", he said."What about your dad, Damien?" I finally asked."Isn't he in America?" He
Nina's POVI was having a wet dream. It was Amar and I, and we were making passionate love. I stirred in my sleep when I felt someone's hand on me. The arm circled around me, rested on my stomach and I flung my eyes open. I turned around to meet the blue crystal eyes of Amar in the dark.Before I could stretch my hand to switch on the light, he took my hand and kissed it. I perceived his scent and inhaled it deeply as my hand found it's way unconsciously into his lovely, curly hair that always drives me crazy."Amar", I whispered as I peered at him in the dark."Nina, I'm sorry", he said. His hot breath fanned my neck and I shuddered."I'm sorry too", my heart thumped wildly in my chest as I felt his hard gaze on me. His breath was intoxicating and making me breathless.We kept staring at each other, with my hand still in his hair and his hands on my waist. He was above me and his face broke into a smile.He crashed his lips into mine i
Daisy's POVNina already informed me that there was going to be a dinner party organized by the firm that night. The previous day was a book festival day that took place in Manilla city where I met a lot of young authors and poets.At first, I thought I was going to be the youngest at 20 but I was wrong. There was a particular boy that caught my attention. He was brown-skinned and had black shiny hair with an American accent. He was a poet and when he was asked for his age, he said he was 10. I couldn't believe it. His looks and appearance as well as his words were too mature for a boy of 10.I was already dressed in my room with Ellah so I picked her up, my purse, and phone before walking over to Nina's room which was opposite mine. She got out of the room all dressed too before I got to her door."You look good, Daisy", she complimented me. "And you too, my baby.""Thank you, granny", Ellah's little voice muttered."You look good too, mom", I said and
Daisy's POV"I disowned James when he married Vera", my grandmother explained with a teary face when we got to the house.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. First, I was shocked to see Aunt Vanessa in Philippines of all places. Secondly, she was staying with my grandmother. I still couldn't believe the woman was the one who birth my father.When Nina heard that she was my grandmother, she stood up from where she was seated with Ellah in her arms and asked us to follow her. She was looking tired and it was so unlike her to be tired, without doing anything all day, other than getting dressed for the dinner.Nina asked grandmother, Aunt Vanessa and her son who appeared before I could get over the shock that the woman before me was my blood, to get into the car. The driver drove home and I was glad for the type of mind Nina had.It was a family issue that ought to be discussed in the confines of a home, not in public."Why did you?" Aunt Van
Damien's POVWhen my plane landed in Las Vegas, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was finally home, I beamed in excitement. I couldn't wait to see my mom.I stood in the departure lounge with my luggages, looking around for dad. He called to apologize for not coming back to China for me but I told him not to bother. He promised to come to pick me up from the airport.There was no sight of him. I looked around once again and then, I saw a hand waving. It was Andrew and I saw my mom behind him. I beamed in excitement and ran like a little child into my mom's arm."Mom", I called while laughing. I didn't realize how much I missed my mom until then.She hugged me tightly and sobbed."Mom", I called again with a chuckle before releasing her from my embrace. "I'm home now, mom. Come on.""Oh! Damien", she touched my face, as if to be sure it was really me and it wasn't a dream."I missed you, mom. Let's go home." She was still looking a
