"I WANT us to be like this forever, Miles." I shook my head to get it out of my mind. I feel like I'm going crazy because everything Zandy said and the kiss he had last night kept coming back to my mind. I couldn't look at him because of the shame I felt. It's like burning my cheeks because they immediately turn red.I don't even know why I let Zandy kiss me and whether I admit it or not, a tickle appeared in my heart and a strange feeling that gave me happiness. Am I right to feel that? Is what I heard from Zandy also true and should I believe it all?"Hey! I've noticed, lately you've always been in deep thought," Andrea teased me while we were at a restaurant to eat lunch.I didn't realize that I was dumbfounded again because of the way I thought about Zandy and the strange things he was showing and making me feel and I didn't want to rely on them.I blinked and faced Andrea. I smiled casually, then turned to the food in front of me. "No, Andrea, I just thought of something," I answ
Zandy's POVI DON'T know why I'm here outside the building where Miles works waiting for her to come out. I just found myself stopping here.I know her reaction when I offer her a ride and I'm sure she will refuse and fight me. That's not new to me. Since the two of us got married, the fights and brawls between Miles and I have not gone away.We have been married for a few days and we are not in the same house together. Our family left us in such a setup and as I expected, I knew they had a plan to bring Miles and me together under the same roof. I wasn't surprised when Mom gave Miles the key to our future house. We didn't do anything if we didn't agree to what they wanted because we agreed to marry each other first.I know it won't be easy for both of us to live under the same roof but there is nothing we can do about it. I'm fed up. I just thought that since Miles still thinks I'm gay, there will still be a boundary between the two of us. No closeness can be formed and no feelings c
THE MORNING, it was still dark when I woke up for reasons I don't know or maybe because of the excitement I was feeling because today Zandy and I were leaving for Quezon Province for a two-day vacation that his family had prepared for us. According to them, this is our honeymoon because we didn't do that when Zandy and I got married.Time flies and I didn't realize that Zandy and I have been married for a few months and I didn't expect us to reach this point in our marriage. This is far from what I expected to happen.I smiled because of the strange pity I feel. It's still dark outside but my system is wide awake. I sat on the bed for a while just looking out the window. Suddenly, what happened the other day at Zandy's restaurant came back to me. After that incident, I could hardly look at him. I feel special when I'm with him. I also ask myself why I agreed to kiss him again. And why is Zandy showing and making me feel like that?Should I hope that maybe Zandy already has feelings fo
I FEEL the car stop when I open my eyes. I was still looking around and I was barely able to close my eyes because of the intense sunlight around me. I also felt the fresh breeze and saw the waves hitting the beach not far away. Are we here yet?Later, the car door opened and I saw Zandy outside. "We're here, Miles, come on let's go," he said while slightly frowning probably because of the sunlight."Ok," I said and got out of the car. I looked at the wristwatch I was wearing and realized that it was past one in the afternoon. Our trip to get here took a few hours and I didn't realize it because I fell asleep.The cozy surroundings were immediately revealed to me. My long hair was flying because of the strong wind blowing there. The green sky and the clouds there with different shapes are very beautiful. It feels relaxing. I also saw a few houses around the blue sea with strong waves.I smiled because I missed this feeling so much. It's been a long time since I last went on vacation,
I DON'T know how I will react to every strange way Zandy treats me. He became sweeter to me while I was trying to adjust to the change in his treatment of me. I'm not good at it but whether I admit it or not, I'm happy and I like what he's doing to me."Have a seat, Miles," said Zandy after he held the chair to prepare it for me to sit down.I smiled at him and quietly sat on the chair. It was past seven in the evening and Zandy and I went out of the villa to have dinner at one of the restaurants inside the resort.I was only wearing a white t-shirt and shorts. That's why I could feel the cool breeze touching my body which gave me a unique feeling and relaxation. The ambiance in the province is different from the one I'm used to in Manila.The meals prepared by the resort for us were already served on the table and based on their presentation, they looked delicious. I felt hungry because I also smelled the food in front of me."I know you're hungry, Miles let's eat," Zandy invited me.
Because of what Zandy told me on the beach, I almost couldn't sleep thinking about it. It's confusing my mind, whether I should believe him or my fear that I might be the one who gets hurt in the end. It is not easy to give your love to someone who is not sure if he loves you or not. I don't want to be left and hurt again.I yawned and stretched on my bed. I can still feel sleepy in my body. After all, I didn't sleep enough last night because I was thinking about Zandy and all the strange things he does and says to me.When I opened my eyes, I saw the clear surroundings and the blue sea. I smiled because it gave me unique vibes, relaxation, and peace of mind. I closed my eyes again but immediately woke up when I smelled the fragrant food being cooked.I left the room where I slept while Zandy was in the living room. I frowned when I saw him facing the stove while cooking. If I'm not mistaken, he's cooking tortillas, which are one of my favorite foods because I can smell them.I steppe
I NEVER thought that there were other people in Zandy's life besides his family and his friend Ton. I also don't know anything else about his life. All I know is that Zandy Saavedra became an introvert because Beverly left him.I learned a lot about Zandy because of Chef Jr's stories about him, and how hardworking and good Zandy is at what he wants to do. I also learned that he met Chef Jr in a cooking class he attended where he was invited to teach a local dish found in Quezon and that's where Zandy and Chef Jr's friendship began."I didn't expect that there are other people around you besides the people I know in your life," I broke into silence as we walked along a road near the sea where we could see the setting sun. Orange color spread in the sky and it was nice to watch the sun setting.We ate at the restaurant and after that, we said goodbye to Chef Jr and Zandy took me to this place."There are only a few people I trust, Miles and everyone who stayed by my side, they are my tr
I woke up early even though I hardly slept last night because of Zandy's thoughts and the strange way he made me feel. I will never forget what he told me to trust him. I don't know where to trust him. It's our last day at the resort and tomorrow we will return to Manila. Everything will be back to normal. Going back to work and going home with Zandy. I don't know what else can happen because the longer it goes on, the more confused I am with my feelings.After we had breakfast, I decided to take a bath in the sea even though the sun was high. I will not miss this opportunity to be near the sea. I just wore shorts and a bralette. I felt the warm sunlight on my skin. My face is still messed up because of the intensity of it."You don't want to come with me?" I asked Zandy while we were in one of the scattered cottages.He turned around before his eyes landed on me. "It's too hot, Miles," he answered simply.I frowned at him. "You're too sensitive, Zandy. We only get close to the sea o
