La Cuevas #1: When the Star Falls Chapter 17
"Delete that!" I threw a pillow at Loren because he didn't want to erase that picture he took earlier while I was asleep.It was a photo of my back, as in full back, I was lying on the bed and without a blanket, naked. It shows my ass!He propped up the pillow and returned to the bed while hiding his cellphone. "I shouldn't have shown you this," he whispered to himself."What did you say ?! You just took a photo of me without my consent! Let alone I was naked—"I was shut with his sudden move. I found myself stunned in shock and parting my lips while looking at his glory. The flirtatious, suddenly undressed in front of me!"Loren!" I quickly closed my eyes and reached for a pillow to throw at him. I am now sitting on his bed and I have just finished breakfast. I was getting dressed earlier when he showed me my picture."C'mon, you can take a picture of me too. You have my consent, just to be fair."I removed my hands and looked at him wickedly. I even forced my eyes not to look down a

"W-wait, have you guys met before?" I asked breaking the silence and their opposing glances.Instead of answering I was surprised when Loren grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him. Cole frowned and looked at Loren even worse."Celine, we'll talk." that’s all Loren said before he pulled me out of my own apartment. I quickly turned to Cole and gave him an apologetic look. I want to apologize to him but I couldn't talk.He just stared at Loren's hand holding mine until we got out. I frowned at Loren and withdrawed my hand."What's that? What you're so rude to my guest!" I spat on him. Now his glaring eyes are focused on me and if I wasn't just irritated with him, my knees would have given in to weakness earlier."Guest? Why is he wearing no clothes? Do you know him?" He asked sarcastically."Oh, probably! Cole is like my brother and he will stay here—""What the fuck?!""Watch your mouth!" I spat because his voice rose a little and the old woman passing by looked at us."Why is tha

I quickly pulled out when it was a few minutes before twelve. I was exhausted while dressing in the locker room when Annie came in frowning and obviously surprised to see me.I ignored her and continued dressing. She approached the locker next to mine because it's hers. She slowly opened it and changed as well. When I finished, I closed my locker and slung my bag over my shoulder."You said .. you're just friends?" I lazily stopped walking and slowly looked at her with tired eyes. Word spread that Loren had a girlfriend, and he did not deny that it was me.I never thought of being mad at her for just simply liking Loren, but please not tonight. I'm tired physically and mentally, I don't want any more headaches."Not anymore." I just said and turned my back on her.Yes, I also feel guilty because I lied to her before, I should not be angry now because she knows nothing else about what is really going on. But I couldn't help but be annoyed because it was a very small thing that she alwa

"You'll always be careful here." I instructed Yana as we exited her unit. It's already 5am in the morning, and I'm ready for Cole and I to leave back to Nueva Ecija."Yeah, yeah, be careful too .. you haven't introduced me to your childhood friend yet, ah." She says.Of course, I've been busy at school for the past few days — well I've always been busy, but I need to double my studies especially since my GWA is important in applying as an underbar paralegal at Manila and Associates Law Firm .Because of that, I never met Yana for our sessions. Her performance at school is also okay and I don't think it makes such a big difference if I can't teach her for at least two weeks. When I went home to her unit, I'm already sleepy so I didn't introduce Cole to him."Next time," I said and we finally got out of her unit. She was still wearing her silk pajamas suit and she didn't bother to wash before taking me here outside her door."Hmm, all right ..." she answered obviously sleepily.We looke

Me:I can't go home yet, there's an emergency here. How are you?I waited for his reply. I was supposed to be back early in the morning, but since Gino is sick, I chose to miss class first. Today is Tuesday, November 3. He is for sure busy so I wasn't surprised when a few hours later, there was still no reply.He wasn't able to text or call last night and yesterday. I'm not angry, in fact I'm worried because when I last saw him he wasn't really well.He seems to be neglecting himself and he is too focused on studying that he never did before.I sighed and just left my cellphone at home. I just came home here to get Gino and mama's clothes. Gino was admitted to a public hospital, but when chest x-rays and blood tests were performed and the doctor confirmed that Gino did have Pneumonia, we decided to transfer him to a private hospital today. I will use the rest of my money from my last salary that I should pay for the apartment for this month.Because Gino can't stay long in that public

The next day, I left to Manila. Cole drove me again but I was alone when I got to my apartment.I didn’t expect the landlady to meet me with her forehead furrowed and holding her big belly."Two weeks ago the rent was due, hija. I'm about to give birth, I need the money, I hope you understand ..."My grip tightened on the door knob. I haven't even been able to enter, yet, another problem will confront me.I sighed and nodded softly, "I'm sorry, Celly, I'll just send it to your house when I have money.""Oh, when will that be?"I scratched my eye because I didn’t know what to answer. Honestly I have really nothing right now. I left the rest of my money with mama, I didn't spend it on the trip because Cole answered that. The only thing left for me is the fare to the Rockwell building."I'll take a look ..."As planned, I went straight to the hall after I put my things down in the apartment. I didn't even take a shower, I didn't even think about how I looked so stress of school even thou

A year after that incident my life has not been easy. Mom almost exploded in anger when we found out I was pregnant.I was always dumbfounded and didn’t know what to do. I can't believe I lost in my mind that I had the possibility of getting pregnant. I was so mad at myself, Loren, and Ella. If they get together because she got Ella pregnant .. what about me? How about our my child?I postponed taking the BAR exam. I hated myself even more because I thought I would never fulfill my dream. I had intended to work while I could, but Cole stopped me. We only cling to him when we have problems all this time. It's embarrassing but we can't do anything.I finished the last sem of law school, my tummy wasn't growing yet. I passed, but there were no special awards I should have gotten then. I am grateful to Atty. Felasco because of the consideration he gave me. He said the MALF offer is still open for me because I am still qualified. But I didn’t get that right away because I was pregnant.Mom

"For now, come with me."I almost fell on my knees when his familiar smell wafted through my nose. My knees were weakening, but when I realized what he had said I quickly turned around and saw him walking away.I wondered as I watched him not look back. God .. he's here. He's really here! I even managed to slap myself just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I wish it was all just a dream, my son is in danger!"Celine, stop that." Kyo stopped me when he saw I slapped myself. I turned to him."I'll be back, you're stay here first." I said and quickly turned away from him even though he hadn't answered yet.I followed Loren. He turned into a hallway and I tailed. He was a bit far away but I didn't speed up the walk. I let my eyes scan his back.There is something in me that motivates me to run and hug him. I want to cry and apologize, I want to say that I'm sorry I left him — that I didn't listen to his plea. I didn’t give him a chance no matter how many times he listened to me. I regret th

This is the last chapter. Thank you guys for reading my flawed story. I hope you're all doing well. Keep safe and always remember to put a happy ending in your daily lives.Sincerely,Joji—————6 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDINGOh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God!"Mommy! Mommy! Look, daddy's so fast! He's gonna win!" I heard Cohen's excited voice as I shut my eyes hardly. Praying that this would end, that he'd be safe.I've always wanted to watch him compete on the track, but seeing him run his Lamborghini like a flash makes my soul almost want to come out of my body! My knees were shaking as I heard the sound of tires scrambling and people shouting his name."GO ACER !!""SHIT ACER GO FASTER !!! PLEASE FASTER!! FASTER !!""OH MY GOD, THAT'S AWESOME !!! I LOVE YOU ACER !!""ACER! ACER! ACER!""Mommy, who's Acer?" Cohen asked while tugging my left hand. I held his hand tightly while my right hand held the chest of my dress."I-it's your dad, son." I answered him, doubting if he even heard it b

I automatically lost my focus when I noticed someone from the other table staring at me.From my peripheral vision, I caught her examining my uniform and her mysteriously evident brown eyes darted on my face right after.I'm not usually intimidated with this kind of stares, may it be intentionally or not. But there's just something in her eyes that bothers me as time passes by. I couldn't contain it, I feel so uneasy.I blinked as I force myself to focus on my book, but seconds later, I found myself spacing out while blankly looking at the certain page — absolutely not absorbing anything. With that, I heaved a sigh and decided to close my book and stood up.She's now busy on her laptop. With creased forehead and emphatic closed lips, she got my attention. I quickly wrote a flirting note in a peace of a fucking paper because I don't know what the fuck has gotten into my head. I walked towards her table and shamelessly made my move."Excuse me,""Jesus!" she was obviously startled and t

"This is attorney Felasco, your former professor from Diliman."I blinked and couldn't believe I could talk to him again today."O-oh! Attorney, Oh my god, how are you?" I asked. I went into the room and went to bed."I'm fine .. I'm fine, how about you? I heard your son was shot?" He asked.I nodded, "I'm fine too, Attorney. And yes, but he's recovering now.""Good to hear that, ahm .. I called because I wanted to hand you some things."I frowned and slowly sat down in my bed. "What .. what do you mean?" I asked.He was silent for a moment and I even heard his sigh before answering. "I heard that congressman Lavarias was arrested for plunder and murder .. I have the pieces of evidence for his plunder case."My eyes widened and my chest heaved with excitement. He .. have the evidences? The one I was looking for? But why? Only daddy knows where that is! Unless he stole it from him? But does he know my dad?"I-I don't understand, Attorney, why do you have those?" I asked."Because I was

I finished my job here at the firm early so I thought I'll just fetch Cohen. I grabbed my handbag and said goodbye to Raegan."Hmm." he just nodded like a boss and I just let him. I'm used to his attitude like that.When I arrived at the Therapy Center, Cohen's session was about to end so I just waited outside with some parents."Hi, are you going to pick up Doc's son?"I turned to the woman older than me. She was wearing a long sleeve dress and was quite large in body. Her make up is also thick and her eyebrows are high."Yes." my answer. Maybe Loren is the only doctor with a child here."Oh, so I was right! that's Doc Iran's son! Why did she deny it?" She said frowning at me. I faced her and stared."What?" I could no longer contain the irritation in my voice.She was stunned and forced a smile, "Doc Iran, isn't it? Doc Loren and Iran are the parents of that handsome new boy." She even said that it was like telling me something I didn't know.I couldn’t believe so I looked at her fr

"I'm sorry, I was with my family .. yes, yes, you can just update me about the conference tomorrow .. yes, thankyou. Good night, Iran."I averted my eyes and spontaneously tightened my grip on the towel resting on me. Loren dropped the call and went to the drawer on his bed side table and inserted his cellphone there.His eyes came to me again so I stared at him. "Just get out and I'll take a shower." I said. My hair is already wet so the bed and pillow are definitely wet because I slept.He just shrugged and threw his hair back in a swift motion. Damn that. He sat down next to me to my surprise."Let me see,"My forehead furrowed."What the hell? Get out!" I spat. What the fuck is he talking about there ?! What does he think, we're back to normal ?!"Let me see, Celine. It might hurt for longer if I won't check it.""Oh no, I said I'm fine. And I'll take a shower— Fucking shit! Loren!" My eyes widened when he suddenly pulled the towel from my body.My naked body was exposed to him, e

"Good evening, sir .." I tried to maintain my posture but because of the nerve I'm feeling right now, I just couldn't.Loren's father smiled and glanced at me gently, "Celine .. you can call me dad now, we've met before." He remarked and opened his arms, encouraging me to hug him.I was surprised with the sudden gesture, but I couldn't be more glad that he actually acknowledges me until now. I smiled and hugged him before he looked down at my son who's tugging at the edge of my dress."My grandson,"He smiled wider and crouched a bit to reach Cohen, "Such a handsome kid .. your parents did really good, huh."I almost choked on my own saliva when I heard that and was accompanied by the old man's laughter. I looked at Loren behind Cohen who was just smiling and looking at his father. When he noticed that I was looking, he also turned to me and raised an eyebrow.I quickly averted my gaze and distracted myself by looking around. When dinner was ready, Lea and Sage arrived."You're late,"

"I-It's my father .." I whispered to myself, I looked up at Raegan who was just watching me seriously."It's papa," I told him.He just raised an eyebrow at me as if letting me to patch everything up. My hands trembled as I remembered what had happened before."This is the ... last case that papa handled."Raegan nodded as he folded his arms. "Late prosecutor Galvez was shot in the chest 20 years ago, right before the preliminary trial of the plunder case filed against congressman Lavarias. When the prosecutor in charge was replaced, the final trial did not take place because congressman Lavarias' name was cleared and also- the new prosecutor drops all charges against him. "My lips parted and my vision seemed to blur with the sudden formation of tears in my eyes. I didn’t expect I would know it all in one fell swoop. I am shocked by what I see, I am afraid of what I hear, and my anger overflows for no apparent reason."Tell me, attorney, has the killer of your father been caught?" He

I was stunned when I entered Cohen's room. The walls are blue and the ceiling is white. The floor is made of fine and high quality wood so I’m not afraid of Cohen’s feet getting cold every time he walks especially in the morning.There is big aircon, and big windows, but no balcony. It also has its own bathroom and wait, walk in closet? Really? Cohen doesn't seem to need it— and fuck, a built in playroom inside his room ?! This is too much!I went back to her bed and adjusted the comforter because Loren and I were definitely coming, and I wasn't wrong. The door opened and Loren entered carrying her sleeping younger version.Cohen slept in his arms. Probably tired of playing. They bonded with their father all day because Loren did not go to the hospital today. It's just that Iran occasionally calls him for reasons I don't know.By the way, isn't she his girlfriend? Did he tell him that he has a child? Didn’t they fight? Seriously, is she that understanding?I leaned over the bed so he

"Just put it there."Kyo nodded and carried some boxes of Cohen and I's belongings. He inserted it into the trunk of my SUV without speaking.Cohen was there inside and resting because he had just finished his session today at the therapy center. I still kept him going there because he needed it to be completely and immediately healed. Their nutritionist promised that such a mistake would not be repeated and we also arranged with therapists there.After Cohen's two days in a private hospital, his condition is improving so last week we went home again. Loren gave us a week before finally moving into her house here in the Royal Village as well. That's right Yana, she has a house here.He said he would renovate a room for Cohen and clean the whole house so we could only move there now.For the past week it has been every day if Loren has visited here. He was the one who almost drove Cohen to the Therapy Center because that was also where he was going. I would wake up early to prepare Coh
