One week has passed since the incident and the street that I’ve walked on has installed CCTV and new lights. Thankfully. My father was scared when he got the news that I almost got harmed so he sent complaints to the rightful authority about it.
I'm glad he did. I somehow feel safe now. Good thing my dad really cares about me and my safety.
It’s Saturday morning, no classes since it is the weekend and I am on my way to Mama Eve. We agreed that I will assist her in cooking this time and she will teach me the recipe for her spaghetti and creme caramel pudding.
I am excited about this! I will get to know the recipe of the best spaghetti I have ever tasted.
When I arrived at her little restaura

I am at our hangout place at the University together with Anvien and Lunan. We’re just hanging around and just talking. Lunan and I don’t have classes at this hour and Anvien’s professor is not around so we’re basically just chilling.“I just realized that we didn’t have bonding time together outside school.” Anvien said. She’s sitting on the table. While my head is resting on it. I looked at her. That made me realize those as well. We bond sometimes after school when our dismissal is early but aside from that, nothing much.“I miss going to an amusement park!” Lunan exclaimed while stretching. He just woke up from his little nap.“Have you been to an Amusement park?” Anvien as
Ace’s POV I’m just here hanging out in my office. Today is just an ordinary day for me. My legs are resting on the table while my chair is inclined. I am just basically waiting for my next meeting. I don’t have that much to do. This is one of the most boring jobs, to be honest. I know CEO is a big word, a fancy title. But not for me. This is not what I want. My routine here is signing, listening to people talk, signing again, then approving new projects, and signing again. Tiring. I know I should be thankful since I never lose a single drop of sweat to climb my way up here, but it was never my dream. This is just my dad's decision. It sounded so privileged but rich people got problems too.
Bliss' POVIt's Monday today and I’m late for my cooking class. I overslept. That thing was not unusual to me but I always manage to get on time. I've never been this late in my entire term in this University.So I am running as fast as I could at the moment.Well, I slept very late last night because I’ve been thinking about a lot of things.I think I still have the 'hangover' from our amusement park trip. With Ace. That's supposed to be with Anvien and Lunan.But it was the best trip for me. It still makes me giddy.I shook my head. It's not the best time to think about Ace. I mean, that trip. Ugh!I'm running out of breath. I never got to run like this anymore.
“Is that your boyfriend?” I heard Ace talking while I’m busy opening my gate. I got startled for a bit.“What? No.” I frowned at him. Clyde? My boyfriend? I don't even see him as one. He's like a brother to me.“Then why did he hug you?” I frowned even more. What's wrong with hugging?“He’s just a childhood friend.” I told him. He looked at me suspiciously. I looked at him like that too.“I’ll tell your father.” He threatened jokingly. I rolled my eyes and laughed.“Go on.. Tell him..” I said. They know him.
“I like watching romantic tragic films.” He said while the movie was about to start. I asked him why. “It’s just realistic for me.” He said. I frowned. I guess his idea of reality is tragic. For me, romance is cringe. I like something that is more of a fantasy, like Sci-fi. My imagination is delighted with it. “Actually, this movie is my favorite.” He added again. I just looked at him while he’s talking. His elbow is on his knee. “I just like how they love each other. It’s really unconditional.” I nodded and laughed at the same time. I never thought that he likes romantic movies. I mean, I’m judging based on his appearance.
Today is my birthday! I woke up at exactly 10:00 am in the hotel where my birthday will be celebrated. I slept early last night since I have to have that ‘Beauty sleep’. I am thankful that I slept early. I feel calmer. The party will start at 4:30pm, so I still have a lot of time to prepare myself. I checked my phone. A lot of people have been texting me their greetings, some posted on my f******k wall and i*******m. and somehow, that made me feel special. This is the first birthday that I really feel like it really is my birthday. It's like the world is celebrating with me and they know my existence. I put my glasses on to start my day. I went to my parent’s hotel room to have breakfast.
I was nervous while walking towards my parents who were still busy talking with the guests. Anvien and Lunan are with me being giddy and excited.They said they both had a great idea about something and wanted to ask permission from my parents.“Uhm. Mom, Dad. Can I excuse for a moment?" I excused myself.They both looked at me."They want to talk to you." I said while pointing at my friends at the back.They started talking.My mom and dad openly listened to what my friends were saying. Anvien seemed to be used to persuading. She’s a business major, after all. I bit my lip. I feel so nervous and I don't know if what they're talking about is a great idea.“Sure, there’s no problem with that. You guys enjoy it! Take care of that young lady, okay?&r
Today, Lunan and I found out that the cooking contest that we participated in last time is not yet over. We were not shocked about that since the prize is too good to be true for that kind of minimal effort. Yes, it is minimal despite us having a mini-mental breakdown because of our spilled product but compared to the prize, it's still not worth it.I mean, for me, it’s fair to have another contest since the prize of having a scholarship to a Culinary School in France is big deal, they have to pick the best student.The University decided that they still have to evaluate the students who passed the first contest. I think we were 20 pairs and only 5 got included in this final test. Lunan and I were sprinting on our way now to the bulletin board to see who got in."Excuse me!" Lunan
Ace is still in the hospital, the doctor said that he needs to stay in the hospital for a while because his injury was mainly in his head, so he has to be monitored. I still feel guilty that he has to suffer from this, but I’m glad that I am able to take care of him. If I didn't change my mind about France, I’ll be leaving 3 days from now. I think it would be selfish if I go there and leave Ace alone here. I haven’t told him yet about this, but I’m sure he will understand. He’s sleeping soundly now. Though, sometimes, I’m still anxious about seeing him sleeping. I’m still scared that he might not wake up this time. But I have to let go of that thought. That kind of negativity should stay away from me. I have to keep in my mind that he is safe now and everything will be alright. As I watch him sl
Everything was blurry. I can’t even feel my legs. I don’t hear anything except for the ringing in my ears. My heart, I can’t hear my heart. I think it stopped beating. “Bliss! Bliss!” My dad called me. I hugged my parents when I saw them. They’re also here in the hospital. “What happened?” He asked. “I-I don’t know. I just heard a honking, then something crashed, then I saw Ace...” I started crying again. I couldn’t even talk properly. There is a lump in my throat that's hindering me from talking. All I want is to cry. “T-there on the ground.” My mom hugged me tightly. I don’t know what happened. Everything was so fast that I couldn’t comprehend. It was my fault. E
Ace's POV: Flashback from 4 years agoI heard someone sniff her nose. I rolled my eyes since I knew what was going on."Don't leave me. Please." She said. I chuckled. She held my hand like she wasn't eager to let me go.Her eyes were red from crying and when a tear just came out from it, I was taken back for a bit. I didn't know I can feel pity when I see her this way."Wow. That was really good. Your acting is superb." I said as I clapped my hands."Really? Do you think I'll do great?" Jelly asked.She is practicing her lines for her taping later. As a supportive boyfriend, I am helping her deliver it. She's great. She doesn't even need some practice, but my girlfriend is such a perfectionist."Okay, I'll take a shower and then you drive me to where my taping is." She said as she sounds so demanding. I don
After cooking for my and Ace's dinner in his office, I packed the meals very nicely. I want it to be really special. Dad was even jealous since I prepared Ace a very special meal, I haven’t done that to him before. I feel bad about that but I guess I have to do that to my dad next time. Boyfriend duties, first. Sorry, Dad.I just walked to Buenaventura's company building with a big smile on my face. It feels nice to walk here again. I haven’t walked here for a long time. Dad doesn't play tennis every Wednesday now since they have a busy schedule, that’s why I can’t visit him there every Wednesday. They have been really busy these past few months. It's good to be back here.I rode the elevator. I just remember the first meeting with Ace here.
I have one week left before going to France. I can finally say that I am excited or should I say, Je suis excité! I only know french basic words, Lunan and I studied for that. We had a French lesson. But two months is not enough for me to nail that language, besides, french is hard to learn.It’s the weekend and I have a date with Ace. We’ll be going to a Marine theme park, which I'm very excited about. We’re just making the most out of my remaining time in this country.I will surely miss him. Of course, who wouldn’t? Our relationship will be long-distance now. Distance makes the heart fonder, they said. I have to trust in that. Plus, I trust Ace with all my heart. We can make this relationship work.
I was holding my phone the whole ride home wondering if Clyde would message me or call me since I need an explanation why he never told me anything about his father and even Ace. All this time, I am surrounded by the Buenaventura Clan.Come to think of it, I am friends with Ace’s cousins. My best friend is his half-brother. He is my dad’s boss.I don’t know if that’s funny. Sure, there’s no problem. It’s just weird that they are all related.I looked at Ace. He looked serious while driving. He said he was not mad about me not telling him sooner about France. I’m glad he’s not but I think he's not in his best mood. He looked serious and I hate that.I’m still not sure about France.
I am grateful that I got to guess what Clyde's favorite cake flavor is. It was a chocolate cake. Very simple. I feel bad again ‘cause I was planning in my head that I’ll bake him one instead. But, there’s always the next time. We were eating the cake that I bought him. Ace would be here at any minute. I was still a little bit anxious about what will happen if both of them interact again. The last time they saw each other was the night I got super drunk. I hope they don’t fight again like what happened. Aside from my dad, these two are the most precious men in my life. Clyde is my best friend, and Ace is my lovely boyfriend. I want them both to be friends or even just interact nicely with each other since I held them close to my heart.
After Ace left for his work, I scanned for my clothes again and my purse. I haven’t checked my phone yet since last night and I still don’t know where my clothes are. Everything was just so swift that I couldn’t think where Ace took off my clothes.Then I remembered what we just did last night. I can't believe I did that. My cheeks felt hot. I am not that innocent anymore.I smiled at the thought of it. I just couldn’t believe that someone like me, a shy and demure girl, would do something like that.I heard my phone ring inside my purse. It was Clyde. I winced in dismay when I remembered that it’s his birthday today. I was supposed to be with him right now, how could I forget?"Happy birthday!"
Warning: SPG!! We stopped kissing for a minute and just stared at each other. Smiling and giggling like little kids. His hands are on my waist while he’s still on the floor and facing me. I brushed his hair using my hands. I felt grateful for how he handled the way I acted earlier. That was also the first time I got my feelings hurt for a bit. But it was not his fault. I just felt insecure. I mean, who wouldn’t? But I know better now. Comparing yourself to others is not healthy. As he said. I should not be insecure since we all have our own beauty. Ace and I kissed again. I couldn’t think of anything now since our kiss got more deepened. It was sweet but it’s b
