"Ouch!" A girl sprained her foot when we were in our PE class. Alas, it was still that leader girl.
Ms. Moore called Eion since he was the only guy who was left here. Other guys were getting the table for table tennis.
"Carry her to the clinic. Here's the clinic pass." Ms. Moore said to him. She turned to us and whistled to get everyone's attention out.
I ignored Ma. Moore's signal and just watched as Eion came and actually helped her. "Can you stand?"
"I-I can't." She stuttered.
"Wait a second." Eion paused, then sat on the floor and pointed to his back. "Here."
He's giving her a piggyback ride?
She scrunched in disgust, hating the id
I looked around and tried to make out where the source of it was. It shouldn't be far from here..."I really, really like you." The voice said again. This time the voice was clear. I scanned my eyes around, only to realize that it was from inside an empty room just across from me.No, specifically, the school clinic. I peeked from the clear glass windows. The figure of a girl, standing in front of a tall guy caught my eyes.I let my eyes trail to the guy, he was facing the girl so I can only see his broad back. His jet black hair, and just seeing the guy's familiar plain black backpack, I don't have to look at his face to see it's Eion.My eyes turn to the girl, it was that annoying stupid girl again! Ugh, can't she escape? It feels like she's everywhere! It's too
I ignored his comment, "I missed the real you. I don't like this!" I yelled in frustration.He chuckled, there was something dark and evil to it, "Oh, you don't like this? Why do you care?""What?""If you want it that way, then you should have said it sooner." He smirked evilly, walking past me while ruffling and messing my hair as though I was a dog.So we really changed...Me, covering my emotions and building a facade, him pretending. Nevermind that. At least we learned."Wait!" Something tells me I just dug my already dug my own grave, and reached now to the inner core, enough to reach the hell."C'mon. You're taking too long, stupid." He said, looking scowling at me. I tried
"Goodmorning." Luke's voice said, his face looming on me as a wide grin spread across his face. Beside him were Emma and Hannah, with Leroy and Dax joining them. All of their faces circled around me. Hmm, the squad's all here?What a strange dream.Snuggling deeper in the sheets, I groaned and outstretched my hands and legs across my bed.Tickle. I felt my feet getting tickled. I pushed the sheets with all my leg's might and kicked downward. Another hand came tickling me again, this time I kicked it harder.The next thing that happened took me by surprise. Grabbing my feet, a hand-pulled it, and jerked it away to make it sound."Ah!" I yelled, shooting up straight in reflex, and punching the person who did it. I mumbled a cur
With sullen faces, as though disappointed in something, they nodded their heads no simultaneously. "Unfortunately, nope, we are serious" "Time is running." Hannah raised her watch, "Now 19 minutes and thirty seconds." She said, I looked at her dumbfoundedly. She smirked, "Twenty-nine seconds, Twenty-eight seconds, Twenty-seven se-" "You're kidding!" I jumped from my bed. "All of you, leave now! I gotta prepare!" They laughed at my reaction, got their bags from the door, and opened it. One by one they left. "Pack things good for four days or so...you never know, the Philippines has a lot of beaches and stuff maybe we'll-" "Yeah right. Now go!" The fools even bothered to wave at me. "Good luck!"
I froze. Not because of the threat, but because of his voice...Wait a minute, all this time it's..."Eion?" I asked."What? What do you want from me?" He said. Turning around, he looked at me and then back to close his eyes, "Oh, it's you." He brushed me aside.I choked.It's Eion! He's not even surprised at my appearance!Then as though he realized something, he looked at me again. And I expected him to exclaim like, "Why are you here?" How?"Instead, he just asked, "Where’s my bag?”I closed my still opened mouth, "I placed it on the compartment on top of us. Besides, it’s a person's seat! That thing doesn't p
I looked up at him and flashed him a small smile. "Sorry...I was trying to hear what you are listening to, just being curious about me... as always, nothing to fear." I waved off like it's no big deal.I minded my own business and continued on drawing, not bothering to destroy the mood.From the corner of my eye, I see him removing one of his earphones on the right, wiping it, and placing it on my ear.I was surprised by the gesture and felt something electrified as his hands accidentally brushed against my ears. I glanced at him, my small smile now turning into a wide grin.“Something about you nowThat I can't quite figure outEverything she doe
I scowled, huffing. "You evil robot!" I whisper yelled, glaring at him. "Don't take me for a fool! I know what you are doing! I'm gonna google it! Just you wait!""Miss?" A flight attendant came in sight, approaching me. Her eyes looked around and back to me, "I'm sorry but could you please keep it down? I'm afraid other passengers are being disturbed. Thank you so much." She flashed me a small smile and walked away.I threw daggers at the flight attendant's retreating figure, fuming in anger. Argh! They always came in the 'unexpected' time to ruin my mood again!Just like earlier, that other flight attendant who forced me to sit, and now her. Can't they understand and blame the one who is really at fault? Why am I always the one who looks like it's my fault?I sco
"He? Who's that you’re referring to?" Emma piped in."My dad." Eion pressed. "Now that you see me fine, you can leave now. Ignore that old man.""But we came here not just for you, we came here to have fun also.""Yeah, cmon, what's done is done. You just have to go with the flow.""As they said, enjoy the moment, this won't last long."They said in unison. I stayed quiet, not having enough energy to join in and argue.When the food came, we ate our hearts out until we were full and discussed some matters. "Thank you for the food Eion! You're the best!" Hannah exclaimed.Finally! My first ever Filipino meal! I flashed Eion a thum
Thank goodness I managed to convince Eion to stop by the reception after making out with him in the car.The reception was at Hudson’s villa, where Eion’s childhood friend, Mario was serving. I spotted him and smiled at him. “Glad you’re still working here, Mario.”He bowed a bit, “Even I’m amazed why Eion didn’t fire me. Anyways, I’m wishing you a happy marriage, Ms. Snow.” He then whispered, “I knew you two would end up with each other.” He said with a wink, and before I could even reply, he walked away.“What was that?” Asked Eion when he caught up to me as he was parking the car earlier.“Oh, nothing. It’s Mario being Mario.” I replied.
Eion started his vow. “Do you remember the very first day that we met?”It was not the usual love at first sight moment. I’ve hated you, not knowing that it was love that I was feeling. We started out as enemies and now, look at us. You have become my lover, my companion, and my best friend. There's no one else I'd want to build a life with. I get to have you by my side, my love, and my wife, for eternity.” Saying that he paused. He was looking at my eyes as he said that. He didn’t have any copy, he then continued,“You have made me the happiest man in the world today by agreeing to share your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to care for you and protect you. I promise to comfort you and encourage you. I promise to be with you for all of eternity.
Reaching the venue, I stayed in the car as the organizers of our wedding checked everything first before we started.I looked at the busy crowd sitting on the chairs. We only have a hundred guests for today as I don’t want to invite a lot.Besides, I don’t have a lot of friends. I lost touch with my high school friends the moment we migrated here. Also, mom is also not that close with dad’s relatives as they both ran away from their home when they had me.And I can’t blame her for that.So I only have mom, Nathan, and some of my classmates from Anastolgia High like Ember. So it’s mostly Eion’s family and relatives as his guests. I saw Luke and Hannah greeting the guests and making sure everyone was comfortable.
“I really didn’t expect you, out of the three of us, to be the first one to get married, Snow.” Said Emma as she applied some powder on her face with her makeup brush. “Oh, are you jealous that she is the first one to be married out of us, or are you jealous because you want to get married next, Emma?” Hannah suggested as she applied lipstick on her lips. Emma just rolled her eyes, “Well, I didn't expect that you, out of all of us, to be the first one to get pregnant, Hannah.” She fired back, pointing at Hannah’s big tummy. Hannah is now seven months pregnant with Leroy’s child. Even I was surprised at the sudden news. I hadn’t expected it. Hannah chuckled at that and winked at me, “This is your time gi
Just then, Eion stopped and stood up. A waiter gave him a guitar and he cleared his throat.“I never sing, Snow, but for tonight, it’s only you and me. I’ll sing for you.”I gasped at that. “Wait, you’re really going to sing?”“Yes. I had been practicing for the past months. In the Philippines, did you know that it was their practice to sing your heart out with a guitar and go to the house of the person you are going to woo. It’s called harana.” He informed me. His hands were tuning the guitar and he was trembling a bit. I flashed him a smile and gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.He nodded, “It may not be your house and we're on a ship right now but... I’m doing it. I hope you’
SNOW’S POV“Snow, a delivery was sent to you,” Mom said as soon as I woke up. Grabbing it and opening it, it was flowers and chocolates, with a handwritten note that I know all too well.It was Eion’s.Reading it, I smile at what he just said inside the note.“To my beautiful snow in my winter heart, this is for you. I haven’t forgotten our anniversary.”this has been his tactic for the past 4 years every time it's our anniversary. Then, my phone beeped and Eion texted me.Did you like the flowers and chocolates? That’s just the teaser. We’ll have dinner later at 7pm. Don’t be late. - your strawberry addict robot
4 YEARS LATERAUNT MAGGIE’S POV“Justin!” I called out, huffing and climbing up the stairs. I turned to his nanny and asked, “He still hasn't eaten his breakfast?”“Yes ma'am. He’s been running around for the whole morning. I apologize.” His nanny replied.I breathed in and out, “Let’s stop chasing him for now. I’m sure you'll get tired soon and eat.” I said, dismissing his tired nanny. II walked towards the dining table where my husband was sitting and having his breakfast. “Honey, can you please call for Justin? His nanny has been tired of taking care of him these days. He has to eat his breakfast.”“Yes, honey.&rd
Emma’s POVWell, I trust Eion,” Snow replied to my question as she checked the time with her wristwatch. Sighing, she stood up and grabbed her bag. “I gotta go now.”I just rolled my eyes at her, “Yeah yeah, go to your strawberry addict robot now and leave your bitter and lonely friends.”She just chuckled at me and bid her goodbyes, with Hannah encouraging her also. “Go get your man, Snow.” She winked and left the ice cream shop.With Snow leaving, Hannah and I were left alone now. I turned to her, “What should we do now? Our friend just left and I’m bored.” I complained to her.It looks like Hannah was not hearing a wo
He turned off the lights. His lips continued on doing wonders on mine. This kiss was different from any of our last time. He trailed down kisses on my neck, down to my collarbone.It’s almost like he wanted to take a taste at everything, every inch of me. I couldn’t help but moan out his name, “Ugh. Eion.”And I covered my mouth from saying that, feeling my cheeks getting hotter in embarrassment.Geez, did I really…just moaned?I bit my lip, looking up at him as he stared into my soul, piercing me with his emerald eyes. He gulped, almost like in an agony, “Say that again. Call my name again, Snow.”I did as he told me, “Eion.”
