CHAPTER 20: Tipsy Moments

2021-10-28 19:21:06KATE’s P.O V.
Maybe it’s been an hour or so since I started to wander around the streets. I felt tired, drunk, and hurt. My feet were already aching because of my shoes. My dress even got dirty because of all the running and stuffs. I decided to take a rest, not bothering if someone could see me out here.
I sat on the cold ground, before I hugged my knees and cry. I didn’t know what to do. It only feels like yesterday when Claire and I were just watching horror movies over my house just to ease boredom. I sometimes miss those moments, knowing that could never happen again right after what I did tonight.
I keep asking myself one question... And that is, am I a bad person? Can people blame me for being like this just because I got hurt in the past? I don’t know the answer, and I know that no one could answer me either.
“Hey! Kate?!&r

KATE’s P.O.V.“Elijah...” I moaned his name as we exchange our position. I’m currently laying on the couch while he started to kiss my neck. I don’t know how did it happened, but we just found ourselves driven by the heat of our kisses. After a few moments, he stopped, both of our breathes are ragged. He gently pushed me away from his body, before helping me to sit up. He moved away, massaging his temple as he looked so bothered because of what happened, I guess.“What’s wrong?” I asked, confused.“You’re drunk, Kate. You don’t know what you’re doing. I don’t want to take advantage of your weakness...” he stated, making me blushed. He’s not the man I think he is. He still got some respect for me. He didn’t let lust to get in the way of him being a respectful man to so

KATE’s P.O.V. Today, we will meet our wedding planner to help them in our wedding preparations. Also, Dad said that if we wanted to have a personal touch to this wedding, we need to be here. Though we don’t have much thing to do. Dad told me that this might help me get close to Darren and vice versa. He said that if ever there’s still a chance, I should grab it and make him fall in love with me. So I tried my best to be as sweet as possible around him.“So, what color do you want to be the theme of our wedding, Darren?” I asked sweetly. I’ve been asking him so many questions since we arrived in here. But all he ever answer was anything is fine and I should be the one to choose since I’m the bride. But that doesn’t stop me to try and be more comfortable around him. Even my hearts states the otherwise. It f

KATE’s P.O.V.“Hey, Kate,” he stated.“Elij...” I came closer towards him.“You’re here. It’s good to see you again,” he flashed another fake smile but this time, I didn’t buy it.“You’re staring at me. I saw you earlier. Are you stalking me?” His goofy fake smile is now gone. I wonder why. Maybe because he finally realized that I know what he’s doing.“Your eyes were probably just tricking you,” he blankly stated.“No, Elijah. I saw you. And then I followed you... Now we are here.”“Go home, Kate. I’ll see you in your wedding.” He turned around, then he started to walk away. My breathing got heavy, as I realized that he probably thinks that I don’t remember what happened that night. But I do. It was a crystal clear memory i

KATE’s P.O.V. Mom didn’t stop nagging me about whom I met in the mall the other day. But I chose to remained silent, for I didn’t want to ruin Elijah’s plan. I know he’ll do something just to stop our wedding. So I’m just gonna wait and hold on to that promise of him. Today is our prenuptial photoshoot. Darren is here with me, but it looks like something is bothering him ever since we arrived in here. Mom often scold his actions, and I just ignore it.“You’re not yourself.” Those words are the ones that Mom often told him for how many times now since we arrived in this place. Thankfully, Darren knows how to apologize and he is very patient with my Mom’s attitude.“Okay, one, two, three, say cheese!” the photographer energetically stated, trying to lighten up the mood in this room.

KATE’s P.O.V. After our lunch, Mom and Dad let me head home alone for they have something to talk to about... That’s what they told me. So I drove one of our car before receiving a text from Elijah. A smiled slowly formed on my lips as I read his message. He wanted to meet up with me at his apartment. His classes just ended and he said that he have something to tell me about. I felt excited, thinking that maybe he already got a plan for us. When I arrived in front of his apartment, he still isn’t there. So I decided to stay calm and wait for him. Besides, Darren doesn’t even visits his bestfriend very often. After a few minutes of waiting or so, a familiar car parked in front of me. And when the car door opened, I saw Elijah, holding a box of pizza and some drinks on his other hand. I smiled, seeing him looking happy for the very first t

KATE’s P.O.V. I thought Darren will cancel our marriage then everything is going to be just fine. But I was wrong. Because today, it is our wedding day. I felt anxious, knowing that I should just accept the truth. I’m fated to be just like my mother, a martyr woman who let herself suffer into pain right after she gave a child to someone who doesn’t even paid any attention towards her. However, today, Mom wasn’t bugging me out about anything. She remained in silence, as she helped the make up artist fixed my hair. Dad is already at the church, being there earlier than us as usual.“You can leave here. I can take care of her,” Mom stated, and the artist eventually leave the room.“Mom, if you’re going to–”“What? Bug you? Or try to make you cancel the wedding? I’m not going to do that, Kate. Not today. All I wanted rig

KATE’s P.O.V. A day passed. We are still at the hospital, Mom regaining her strength after being diagnosed of having a mental breakdown. She looks fine, but I bet she felt really bad and sorry for me.“Here, Mom. Eat this one,” I stated, giving her another slice of apples while Dad is taking a sleep in the couch. I stiffened as Mom reached for my hand, looking at me with a worried expression plastered upon her face.“Are you alright, Kate?” she asked.“Yes, Mom. And I’m one hundred percent sure about that. Here you go. Eat this one to regain your energy.”“But... I though you like that guy?” she asked curiously.“Yep... Maybe. But I already love someone. And what I mean by that, I already found someone that could accept me for the real me...” She smiled, looking relie

KATE’s P.O.V. I took a deep breath before knocking on his apartment door. I’m currently in front of Elijah’s home, my mind debating whether I should see him or not an hour earlier. But my heart won and now I am here, waiting for him to answer. I raised my trembling hands, was about to knock again when the door swing opened, revealing Elijah wearing only a khaki pants while his body is topless. I opened my mouth, trying to say something but nothing came out.“Why are you here?” he asked, his face has a blank expression plastered upon it.“Elijah... I’m...”“What?” he asked, impatiently. I bit my lower lip, mentally slapping myself for coming here unprepared. What am I supposed to say now?“If you have nothing to say, then you may leave, Ms. Frias.”&

# ELIJAH’s P.O.V.Two years later... I waited for almost half of my life for this girl... I patiently waited for her to come back, right after she search for herself. I waited even though we’ve got a lot of doubts about ourselves... But in the end, we find it worth it. Kate and I... The two of us finally became an official couple. Today is the day that I have been waiting for. The day that I am going to ask her to marry me. And with the help of Darren and Claire, I know that everything will be alright.

# KATE’s P.O.V. Now that everything is going smooth and fine between me and Claire, I decided to mend the broken lines between me and Elijah as well so that I could finally have the peace of mind that I’ve always wanted to have ever since the beginning. I just hope that it was not too late for me to apologize to the one and only man that I truly love. It’s been three days since the night of Cloey’s birthday party, and so the next morning, I finally decided to come to his apartment, with my hands trembling out of too much nervousness. I can’t believe that I will be looking so dumb just like this in front of him... I never expected that this could happen, that I would be the one to hurt the person I love the most instead of the other way around, just like what usually happens before.

#KATE’s P.O.V. As we entered one fast food chain, the three of us, Claire, Cloey, and I, instantly search for a table before Claire decided that she should be the one to order in the counter. So I was left alone with Cloey, and I took the opportunity to talk to her and know more things about her parents relationship to Elijah. I know that Darren and Elijah are long time besties, but what I wanted to know is the relationship between Claire and my boyfriend. Call me a narrow minded person, but can you blame me? After all the things that I have been through... I just couldn’t trust anyone else anymore.“Hey, Cloey...” I trailed off, calling her name.“Yes, lady?” she asked me. I don’t want to take advantage of her innocence but I know to myself that I need to do this.“Your Mom and Elijah...
His Rectifying Graze CHAPTER 47: The Encounter
# KATE’s P.O.V. The next morning, nobody came to talk to me, nor bother to text me something... Or even a simple greeting. There is no one’s name registered on my phone, or anything. Maybe Elijah is indeed really mad at me. But why? I’m only trying to protect myself from being hurt once again. I took a deep breath, before deciding that I should probably go to some place that could make me happy... A place where I could temporary forget about everything, including all of our problems. I didn’t want to hurt Elijah that way, it’s just that I’m having a hard time to give my complete trust to someone for I know that it could ruin me once again. And so after preparing myself, I grabbed my purse as I decided to come to the mall and treat myself for apparently no reason at all.&nbs

KATE’s P.O.V.“A journal?” Elijah asked.“Yeah... I told you, you wouldn’t like it,” I said, looking at Cloey’s direction.“I do like it’s color, Aunt Kate. It matches the dress of my Barbie dolls that Uncle Elijah gave to me... But what is this?” she curiously asked.“Uhm... That was a journal, baby. Your personal diary... I mean, if you grow old someday, you will realize things... Things that you couldn’t ask to another person because you will be afraid or scared to make them think that you are weird or something... So if ever that you have some questions about yourself and you don’t know whom to ask it, you can write it down in here...”“Really? Will I be able to find the answer then?”“Maybe... As time passes by, if you read the first pages of this diary, you will finally be able to answer that question all by yourself. It’s

KATE’s P.O.V.“Tomorrow is Cloey’s birthday. Darren and Claire are inviting us to have a dinner with them.” I stopped for a moment, thinking about that invitation. Would I allow past to prevent me from leaving a normal and happy life? Of course not. I will try my best to beat that horrifying history of mine. Maybe in that way, Claire and I could finally have a closure... Or maybe reconcile, even better.“Hey...” I felt Elijah’s hands on both of my shoulders.“Y-Yeah?”“Would you come there with me? I promise I will be there... I won’t leave your side, Kate... Never again.” I smiled at him, before tiptoeing to give him a quick smack on his lips. He chuckled, before pinching my nose.“So, would you come with me then, Ms. Frias?”“Sure, Elij. I will come with you.&rdqu
His Rectifying Graze CHAPTER 44: Sweet Cuddles
KATE’s P.O.V. Elijah take me in his small apartment, and it feel great, being in this place once again. I look around the inner part of his home. It’s so good to know that he didn’t even thought about changing his address for the past few years of his life. Because if he did, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to find him anymore if ever that I did came back here myself.“What are you thinking?” I nearly squeal as I suddenly feel his lips on my temple.“Shit! You startled me!” I complained.“Sorry,” was his short response. Though he managed to wrapped his hands around my waist.“Elijah?” I called him, badly wanting to tell him something that is been bothering my mind ever since we became an official couple... Which is one thing that I didn’t expect to happen. Who would have thought that my friend way back in high school would
His Rectifying Graze CHAPTER 43: Officially Yours
KATE’s P.O.V. Elijah asked me to go out with him, as we officially started counting our precious exchanges of smiles. He said that he will take me anywhere that I wanted, in any places that will make me smile. And so, I requested him to bring me to our old high school building... The tallest building in our campus, to be specific. While driving, Elijah often glance at my direction for I can’t stop myself from staring at his handsome face. I mean, how could the world be so unfair sometimes? He’s too cute for a guy. I hope I can have even just twenty-five percent of his looks.“Will you stop drooling over me? It kind of starting to freak the hell out of me...” He laughed.“Sorry.” I blushed out of embarrassment. “I just... I couldn’t help it,” I shamelessly admitted.“That’s cute,” he stated, his eyes stil

KATE’s P.O.V. I woke up having a wide smile plastered upon my face. It felt nice, having someone who could give you that peace of mind. I know Elijah wouldn’t cheated on me. I trust him enough... And even though he didn’t promised, I know he wouldn’t. Even though Elijah and I haven’t talk about anything to do for today, I feel the need to prepare myself before going down to our dining room, where my Mom is currently preparing our breakfast.“Hey, you’re looking good, sweetie. How’s your sleep?” she asked me.“It’s... Great, Mom. I think it is.”“Well that was good to hear. Come then, I prepared something for you.” She took out a plate for me before putting a cup of garlic fried rice onto it. She added some bacons and fried eggs, and I instantly felt the hun
