Wyatt's Point of View"I want you back," I began. "Please, come back to me."He scoffed, and my heart ached. "Do you think it's that easy? Do you think when you say you want someone back, they'll just return to you?""O-Of course not! I know it's not easy, that's why I waited for 6 years for you to return, Aiden. I don't know what will happen to me if you run away again. Believe it or not, I've loved you. I still do. I understand it's confusing after what I did to you, but trust me, my love for you has never wavered. I deeply regret my actions. I hurt you, not just by pushing you away but also with the hurtful words I spoke. However, perhaps the six years I've spent waiting for you have been my penance, haven't they? I haven't been truly happy since you left. I've been miserable, and if I lose you again, I might lose my sanity. I'm not saying it's your responsibility to return to me just to prevent me from going mad. What I'm saying is that I need you, Aiden, to survive. I can be bett
Wyatt's Point of View°°°This chapter includes warning content°°°"What—what's so funny? Stop laughing!" he shouted again.I bit my lower lip to stifle my laughter, but a smile remained on my face.It's as if yesterday I was broken, yet today, why do I feel nothing but happiness? Could it be because it's just the two of us here? Damn, it takes me back to when we were still young, and the only thing he did was study in his bedroom, while I stayed in the living room watching movies or playing games. I also remembered the first time our lips touched when we kissed. Remembering that, it struck me that it all began with that kiss. I was the one who initiated this relationship. Realizing that intensifies my regret for everything I did to him. I initiated it, yet I hurt him."You can't blame me, Aiden. You're damn sexy when you swear," I teased, making his face blush even more.Crap, he's even sexier now.He averted his gaze and said, "What do you take me for? I'm not an idiot to believe wha
Wyatt's Point of ViewI stayed in his unit even after what happened. I went back to sitting on the couch while waiting for Aiden.I know this is shameless of me, but I want to know where he is going. Who knows if he's going out to meet someone else, right? And that kid, Luca, hadn't messaged me back yet. I messaged him earlier after I had calmed down, but he still hasn't given me any response.Where does that guy go anyway? Except for his brother, he doesn't know anyone in the country, as far as I know. Has he ghosted me? Did he go back to California without informing his brother or even me? We're not close enough for him to tell me about his life plans, but still.I want to ask Luca if his brother is dating someone right now, if there is someone who's interested in him, or if he knew that Aiden would meet someone today. If he already knew about that, I would be going to punch his face. I swear! How dare he help me go here today if he knew that his brother would go out with someone? H
Wyatt's Point of View"Then, I'll get going now," I smiled at him before turning away.I'll be okay. It will be okay. Everything will be alright. Let's just ride the wave for now. Things will eventually fall into place; I'll just have to wait and see.I was inside the elevator when my phone beeped, indicating I had received a message. I quickly took my phone out of my pocket, thinking it might be Luca reaching out to me. I pressed the letter B in the elevator to lean against the wall glass while opening my phone. Upon seeing the message, I felt relieved that it was indeed Luca who messaged me.From: Luca,I'm on a date; don't bother me.The message said.What the hell? Where did this guy go now? And what? A date? Whatever, it's not like it matters. After all, I already spoke to Aiden, and who would have thought he'd notice me following him? But at least I remained outside; I didn't enter the hotel, so I just waited for him outside. I didn't follow him into the hotel since I was afraid
Wyatt's Point of ViewI let go of his hand and went to the couch to get my wallet. I folded the blanket he gave me and put it on the couch. When I turned to him, he was still standing there, facing the bathroom door. I took a deep breath and walked toward him. I held his shoulders and made him turn to me."Sorry, I won't be able to eat your cooking. Maybe next time?" I smiled as I said that."Do you... really have to go now?" he asked, looking down at the floor."Yeah, I don't want to see you mad," I replied. "And I'm sorry for this. This... wasn't intentional.""I cooked for two people; it will be a waste if you go now," he responded.My hand on his shoulder froze. Why does it seem like he doesn't want me to leave? Damn."Is Luca not coming home?" I asked, trying to confirm what I suspected.He sighed. "Never mind. If you're going, then go," he said. He was about to walk past me when I immediately grabbed his arm."You can just ask me to stay if you don't want me to go yet," I said."
Wyatt's Point of ViewAfter that evening, Regie's words stayed in my mind. I also realized that since what happened with Aiden, the relationship between the two of us, who are cousins, has become distant.I can't blame Regie because his anger towards me is entirely justified. I mistreated someone he loved. If the same thing happened to me, I would probably treat him the same way.I accept my wrongdoing, but I hope they can see my remorse. I also hope they can feel the effort I'm putting in and the lengths I'm willing to go to get Aiden back.I'm not sure how to express myself to them anymore or how to prove to them that my feelings for him are real. I'm not a child; I know whether my feelings are temporary or not.I hope that they will notice my efforts, and I also hope that things can get back to the way they were before, including the closeness between Regie and me.The next day, I immersed myself in work, hoping it would help clear my head. I still didn't know how to face Aiden. Af
Warning: R-18-----Aiden's Point of View"W-Wait," I gently pushed Wyatt to stop him from kissing me. We were still at the apartment's doorway, and it wouldn't be ideal if someone saw us doing this here."But I can't wait, though," he pouted.I sighed. "Do you want someone to catch us? Just a moment, okay? I'll just open this door," I told him.He heaved a sigh, clearly impatient. "Okay, hurry up."I couldn't help but smile at how eager he was.After opening the door, we entered, and while I was taking off my shoes, Wyatt closed the door. To my surprise, I was suddenly lifted off the ground."Damn, I haven't even finished taking off my shoes, Wyatt!" I exclaimed.He whispered to me, sending shivers down my spine, "I'll do it for you, my dear."I didn't respond anymore and just let him carry me to the bedroom. Once there, he gently placed me on the bed. He knelt down and removed my shoes. After taking them off, he stood up and initiated a passionate kiss.He kissed me like a hungry ti
Aiden's Point of ViewAs I sit here with Wyatt, reminiscing about the events that have led us to this point, I can't help but feel grateful for the wonderful life we've built together. It all started with a great night after getting back together. We realized how much we still loved each other and decided to make things work.A few months later, I resigned from my job and moved to the Philippines with Wyatt. We moved in together and began building a life together. We discussed the idea of starting a family and agreed that surrogacy was the best option for us.One day, Wyatt surprised me with a tearful proposal, and I couldn't have been happier to say yes. A few months later, we flew to Austria to get married, and it was the most beautiful day of our lives.My heart swelled with happiness as I looked at Wyatt standing at the altar, waiting for me. I couldn't believe that I was finally getting married to the love of my life. The memories of the day we got engaged rushed back to me as I w
