For almost a week after their last conversation, Sean kept apologizing to Amy for his past behavior. He visited her everyday and tried to get her to forgive him. Amy whose mind was already made up, felt herself softening towards him as the days went by. His apologies seemed too sincere to ignore. If he says he’s sorry, who was she not to forgive him? She decided to put the past behind her and eventually forgave him.They spent the following week taking a tour around the city. She took him to the SAP center stadium first, where they watched a hockey game. Amy wasn’t a hockey fan, but she definitely enjoyed the tasty burgers at the arena. After that, they went to the oldest neighborhood in San Jose, the San Pedro market square. Sean thought the place was amazing, as one could find any type of culinary delight there, from Italian to Asian and Cuban, just name your choice. By the time they left the place, they were stuffed.The next day, Amy took Sean to her favorite place. The Municipal

Sean and Amy went out to have lunch because Sean said he was extremely bored with staying indoors. While they had lunch, Sean told Amy about himself, what his life is like in New Jersey.Amy was surprised to learn that Sean still lives with his grandparents, he must adore them so much. She was also impressed when he told her that he already runs his own insurance company. He wasn’t so dumb after all.When they finished their meals, Sean suggested that they take a walk in the park close to the restaurant they had lunch because he wanted to spend more time with Amy. Her voice was like music to his ears and her smile lights up his entire day. He wouldn’t want to be anywhere except with her, that’s why he had to lie about being bored when in reality, he was supposed to be on the phone with his PA, who would relate to him the affairs of the company in his absence.He got them ice-cream from an ice-cream van as they made their way towards a bench in the park. They sat down and watched as ki

“Hey babe” Amy greeted Bryan with a hug as soon as he opened the door.Due to Sean’s presence, they couldn’t meet at Bryan’s place, so he booked a hotel room for them to meet.“Hey beautiful” Bryan replied, placing a quick kiss on Amy’s temple as he returned the hug.“I missed you so much.” Amy said, still not letting go of Bryan.“Me too.” Bryan whispered against her lips, tucking her hair behind her ear before connecting their lips for a sweet kiss.Gosh! Has he missed her soft plump lips. He ran his tongue over Amy’s lips to have access inside her mouth. Amy gave him entrance without delay, enjoying the gentle manner in which he kissed her.The kiss was passionate and filled with longing, but at the same time delicate, sending shivers down her spine. Amy didn’t want the kiss to end, as she has been counting down to this day but unfortunately it has to, so they could both catch their breath.Bryan slowly pulled away from the kiss, smiling at Amy who was pouting with a frown. He peck

“I’m doing this for me, Bryan. I want to have something I can call my own besides my dad’s companies.” it was now Amy’s turn to cut Bryan off.“That’s a brilliant idea and you have my support, but not with this company.”“And why is that?”“I don’t want you having a hard time.”Bryan couldn’t come out open and tell Amy that it would take quite a while and a lot of effort to go into competition with already existing companies.“I don’t get it. Isn’t that the point of starting up a company?”“Why are you really doing this?” He then asked when he realized that he couldn’t talk her out of it.“I just explained that to you.”“You know that’s not the whole truth.”It was moments like this that makes Amy hate the fact that Bryan knows her too well.“Fine… I’m doing this also because I believe in you.”“And?..”“And, I want you to prove to those cowards that you know what you’re doing.”“Is that all?” He asked with a knowing look. He could tell she still has something to say.“You’re excellen

Henry was watching the business news on TV in the living room, when the doorbell rang. He stood up to get the door and was surprised to see Sean at the door.“Sean?”“Hi” Sean greeted with a small smile.“You came alone?” Henry looked behind Sean like he was expecting to see someone there.“Yeah… Dad said he’d be working late, so I was home alone.” he knew Henry was expecting to see his best friend since they were supposed to meet this weekend.“He’ll probably be here tomorrow.” Sean added, knowing how the best friends always keep to their promise.“Come in.” Henry finally let him in.“Does this have anything to do with the current situation in his company?”Henry was concerned about his best friend. Bryan claims he has everything under control, but he still can’t help but worry.“I don’t know. He wouldn’t tell me anything.” Sean said with a shrug.Sean’s reply only means that Bryan hasn’t told him a thing. Henry then decided not to ask any further questions, so he doesn’t get worried

Amy was beyond angry. Why in the world would she wake up to find herself alone in the hotel room like she was some call girl? What was Bryan even thinking when he left her alone without any explanation? He didn’t think it proper to at least wake her up and tell her why he had to leave. She had waited for his call or text all through the weekend, but got nothing. This is insulting.Was he angry that she wanted to get herself involved in his business? But he was okay with it, so why the sudden change? She wondered, still staring at her phone.Mandy stirred beside Amy, before grudgingly opening her eyes.“Morning, girlfriend.” she mumbled, stretching herself awake.Amy spent the entire weekend at Mandy’s place because she knew she would encounter Bryan at her dad’s place. With how livid she was at the time, she didn’t think she would’ve been able to control herself.“Good morning, sleepy head." Amy replied with no enthusiasm.“Nothing yet?” Mandy asked, sitting up on the bed.Too sad t

As soon as she approached the foot of the stairs, she heard her dad exchanging pleasantries with, Sean?What is Sean doing here?She walked towards the living room where the voices were coming from. As if her presence was sensed, they both turned to look at her.“Hey” she shyly greeted Sean with a wave.Rather than reply Amy’s greeting, Sean kept gaping at her, making her aware of her looks. Henry poked Sean’s side, so he would close his mouth.“I, uh. Hi” Sean said when he regained his composure.“Um, uh. How have you been?”“Great” Amy smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear to hide her nervousness.Sean’s stare was making her feel awkward, and why is he stuttering? It’s not like this is the first time he’s seeing her.Henry was staring from Amy to Sean, and back, mentally shaking his head at the clueless young adults. The door bell sudde
