Turning my head around, I look for the source of the voice just to see him grinning from the far end of the garden. Without thinking, I ran towards him.
"Miss me?" He said as soon as I was centimeters away from him.
The only reply he received was my hand touching his face.
I slapped him. Hard.
Luke groaned. "What was that for?"
I smiled at him sweetly. "Well, firstly, you didn't show up today in school. Secondly, you, of all the people in the world, forget this day!! You forgot about my birthday! Now, how could you show up here with that grin of yours!!!"
He threw his hands up and chuckled. "Oh, c'mon! I am th
"Well, sorry to inform you. But you are mine. And now that you are mine, I wouldn't do something that will waste my effort of courting you." He said sincerely, his tone was so sure. I looked at him disbelievingly, smiling for him to know that I was just joking. I was about to tell a remark when the sound of a screeching chair sounded through the clatter and a boy stood up. Eion. He whispered something to Dax and after a few words, Dax nodded before the robot walked away. "Where did he go?" Asked Luke from beside me, voicing my thoughts. "He was just going to check for his car, he said he left his phone." Dax shrugged before talking with Emma. More like flirting. The waiter came to our table and served our orders. We thanke
Distracted from my thoughts, I didn't realize that Luke went to the mini stage and grabbed the mic. “I found a love for me Darling just dive right in And follow my lead Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet I never knew you were the someone waiting for me” His voice was soft and husky. It wasn't too bad and out of tune, nor was it too good, but it was perfect. The way he said the words, just left me speechless, like he meant every word to....me. “Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listeni
Somehow, my menstrual cramps subsided a little when Monday passed by like a blur. When Tuesday rolled by, everything was a bit odd lately. I could feel it like something happened when I wasn't there because when I went to my first period, Emma's nose was still stuck in her notebook and reading again! Well, it's not bad to read but it's just strange for someone like Emma. "I'm concentrating." Her only reply when I asked her what happened. I thought her quiz was only yesterday, she has one this day too? I kind of felt bad but I chose to just listen to the discussion. Then in my second period, Hannah seemed off. I wanted to ask her what happened yesterday at lunch but I held back, noticing the gloom in her eyes. This was odd since the usual Hannah is all smiles and
It looks like I left them in shock as their mouths are wide open and their jaw-dropping to the ground, I quickly headed to the cafeteria and sat at the Squad's table. Woo, that was quick. Like they said, Time is gold. So lunchtime is gold. And the minutes I had entertained those girls were wasted, psh, what a waste. Beside me, Hannah was smiling. Smiling. It was not a trick of the light or sorcery. With that, my confusion just got more terrible. I thought she was mourning like someone just died? "Snow? Why are you staring at me like that?" Hannah asked, breaking me with my thoughts with her smile didn't waver. My mouth just dropped. Seeing my expression, she chuckled.
Wednesday came, and it’s time for me and Eion to present in front of the class. For me, I had been sweating profusely. It's not that I am a coward. But bad things happen to me every time it's my turn to present something in front of them. I'll always end up embarrassing myself...And believe me, quite a few got so used to it that they consider it as a routine for me. Which is not good! And may I remind you that I. AM. WITH. EION! Was the offer I made last month even valid? Eion hasn't mentioned it, and I always forgot to bring it up. Well, screw that. Mrs. Johnson didn't waste a minute that as soon as she came into the room, she called out random names to present in the class. Time sure flies by so fast that the next thing I know, it's our turn already. I almost froze in panic. Keyword: Almost. But one thing caught me today...Eion. Something seemed off to his mood rather than usual. I mean, he is usually quiet but today, he didn't glare at
I stopped. "What?" "Just be quiet." He hissed. "It happened before." He's walking towards me and I take a back step, quite nervous. "Uhm...i don't know if it's one of your apology but I think-" In a swift motion, he wrapped a cloth around my waist and threw me on his shoulders. What is he doing?!! "What are you planning to—put me down!" I yelled, there were a few students in the halls who saw us. Seeing Eion's face, they scrambled aside to allow them to pass, probably thinking it's just a couple's fight. "Don't let him kidnap me! You and you! Help!" I yelled again. "Shut up!"
"Thank me after we got an A, stupid." Was Eion's reply the first thing in the morning when I managed to have the courage and thank him. He was sitting at his usual seat and I switched seats with the person beside him earlier to talk to Eion since the teacher is still not there. I scoffed. What's really with him? From the start, it was always like this. Him being rude, Him doing something good, then me thanking him, then him acting back to rude again. On and off. He flashed me a glare before looking at his math notes. He cleared his throat, looking at me. "We'll have a long test in maths after the two-week break." He informed me. Maths? Oh, I missed that subject yesterday since I got home soon.
With that incident in my mind, I made my way home and took a taxi since Hannah left already, and Emma is having her shift to the shop. "Nathan I'm home!" I yelled as soon as I got to our house. I waited for a minute...Maybe he's asleep. I'll just open the door myself then. Rummaging through my bag, I looked for the key. I'm sure I just put it here this morning... "Where's my math notes?" I jumped in shock and looked at the source. "Oh." I sighed in relief, seeing it's not a robber or something. "Eion, so good to see you here." I greeted sarcastically. I turned my eyes to look around, then stared at him in confusion, "What are you doing here, at the front door of my house?"
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.”
