Fatima didn’t go to work the next day, making Grian worried. Christopher isn’t here today and told Grian to go to the coffee shop for him. But today, both Fatima and Philippe didn’t go. He’s worried something could’ve happened to her as he waited.

“Can you manage here alone?” he asked Nikki and she nodded. He grabbed his coat before going outside on the cold windy day and getting in his car. He started the engine and drove off in the direction of Fatima’s house.

A couple of minutes later, he arrived at her place and got out of his car, and knocked on her door. A couple of minutes passed and no one was answering. He looked around and saw another house next to Fatima’s and he knocked there. The door burst open and saw a woman getting pushed outside. “Leave them alone,” the middle-aged woman told the other woman who has b

    Philippe walked in front of Grian and he followed behind till they reached the hospital. They took a turn and rode an elevator to the third floor before turning a corner again and arriving at the hospital room. Phil opened the door and let Grian inside. Fatima looked shocked to see her friend with her brother. She stood up from her seat and approached the pair. “Why are you here?” Grian shrugged before showing the food he brought with him. “He’s here for the girl he likes or something, not sure,” Phil casually teased before giving Grian a look. His eyes widened and raised a fist at Philippe. (He likes someone?) Fatima thought to herself. “I bumped into your brother at the lobby. Uh, here’s some food,” he said before smiling at her and she grabbed th

    “Care to explain or continue your lie?” Christopher and Fatima are both sitting across from each other at a table in the coffee shop. She was contemplating what she should answer him and if she can get out of the situation. She was fidgeting in her seat like a fugitive caught by a cop. “Listen, I told you you heard me wrong-“ she got cut off. “Tell me the truth or you’re fired from this job,” he threatened and her eyes widened. She crossed her arms and scoffed. “You can’t. Grian owns this shop,” she fought back and he laughed. She looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. “Honey, this coffee shop is signed under my name. Grian is my secretary, I asked him to interview you,” he said with a smirk and her jaw dropped. She looked at Nikki who smiled guiltily.

    After Nikki was done eating, she went back to work so Fatima could also eat her lunch. She took her food and sat at the table as far away from the two as possible. “I’ll ask her out to be my date,” Grian said teasingly to Chris before patting his back and leaving to approach Fatima. He was about to follow his friend but he suddenly received a phone call. “Don’t,” she said when she saw that Grian was about to sit in front of her. He stood straight up and smiled. “So, uh- how’s your younger brother?” He started a conversation and she eyed him before answering. “Good. Still alive and well,” she said and he nodded, trying to think of anything else to say. “What can I do to make it up to you, hmm?” he asked and she didn’t respond. He nodded to himself be

    “Come on, you need to drink your medicine,” she told her brother Timothy as she tried to give it to him but he kept refusing. She sighed and looked down tiredly before standing up from her seat and handing the spoon to Philippe and gesturing him to their youngest brother. The temperature of the city has been increasing and decreasing lately and the rapid changes are making her sick as well. Her brother is already having a hard time because he’s currently on medication for a while after their hospital visit the other day and she doesn’t want to be sick so she can work. She stepped outside their house and sat down on the concrete floor as the wind blew her hair. She sighed and looked up at the cloudy sky before looking down at her feet. “Such a lovely

    “Who are you with?” He took a sip from his glass. “A man, just my type,” William answered and he almost choked on his drink. He took a look at Will before gulping. “Problem?” Will asked and he shook his head. “I just... didn’t think you’re into men,” he said. William looks like the type of guy that can steal your girlfriend but in reality, he can steal both girlfriends and boyfriends. “If you want to have fun, hit me up,” he teasingly said to Grian and winked at him seductively. Grian blinked a couple of times before shaking his head profusely as he tried getting the idea out of his head. He stood up from his seat and drank more orange juice, making both Fatima and Philippe laugh.

    FATIMA’S MOTHER WENT TO visit their house again but found no one inside. The landlady carefully stayed silent as she stayed inside her house with Timothy. Since Fatima and her brother are away, the landlady happily stayed with Timothy since she loves taking care of kids. After their mother left since no one was answering, she left the place. The landlady wants to call Fatima but she doesn’t have a phone so the landlady has no choice but to wait for her to come back home. “Who was that?” Timothy asked. “Some crazy lady in the neighborhood, don’t worry,” she jokingly reassured him as he doesn’t actually remember the woman as his mother. She left years ago that he completely forgot who she was since the last time she was there for them, he was still ve

    Philippe furiously walked to Fatima and Grian laughing and chatting and grabbed her sister’s arm. “Let’s go,” he said and the two looked at him confusedly. “We still have things to buy, Phil.” He breathed heavily and shook his head. Grian noticed distress in his face and asked him about it. “What’s wrong?” he asked and looked around the store. “Nothing, I just don’t feel well. Can we just go?” he begged and the two looked at each other before following him outside. As they were walking, their mother was quick to stop them. “Fatima, darling,” she greeted and hugged her tightly as if she missed her so much. She pushed her mother away and pulled Philippe behind her. “Why are you here?” she furiously asked and eyed her up and down. This is the first tim

    Once the day of the party came, Timothy was brought to Grian’s house so he’ll be safe there. A helper is going to take care of him as Fatima and Philippe are away. Nikki was helping Fatima get ready, while Grian was helping Philippe in the other room. Since the party is at night, they have a lot of time to get ready. “Oh, come on! You’ll look so good, just let me do what I want,” Nikki pushed her idea and Fatima frowned. She looked at her face in the mirror and sighed. “The makeup is going to be so heavy!” she exclaimed but Nikki shook her head and grabbed a brush. “Trust me,” she whispered, making Fatima a little afraid of what she’ll do to her face. While she sat there, Nikki started to do her magic. She stayed as still as possible while Nikki was

    GRIAN'S POINT OF VIEW [FLASHBACK START] I was walking by the library when I saw a familiar small figure trying to reach a book. I smiled while I watched her struggle and admired her beauty. I've been friends with Fatima for a while now and I'm afraid I've gained feelings for her. It's terrifying yet exciting. She climbed up a ladder as she frustratedly reached for the book which she still struggles to get. I stood up from my seat and approached her. My body towered over her as I easily reached the book and she turned around and pouted. I chuckled and gave it to her as she stood on the ladder. "You're cute," I said as I looked down at her face and she rolled her eyes.

Fatima suggested that they take the day off and she'll cook them their food to celebrate.Of course, the family can't be left out."I can't believe Grian got my sister so easily. I hate this!" Hannah complained dramatically and Fatima laughed. Grian isn't here in the living room but is rather sleeping in Fatima's room to get some rest first. She's still cooking so he can get some rest before they eat at the dining table."You were the one suggesting to trip me so he'll catch me and we'll fall in love," Fatima said while squinting her eyebrows. Hannah crossed her arms and frowned."I didn't expect it to be so soon," Hannah said before rolling her eyes and everyone chuckled except Nikki, of course. She still doesn’t like Hann

    FATIMA DROPPED OFF TIMOTHY in his school first. He started crying and asking for her so they stayed there for a few more minutes and reassured him. After that, they went to Philippe’s school and dropped him off as well. “Be careful and don’t do anything stupid, alright?” Fatima reminded him and he nodded.Philippe started walking to his school and was looking around to find Nikki but couldn’t. He walked to his classroom and as he was about to go inside, he saw Nikki walking to hers. He walked faster until he reached her and tapped her shoulder. She turned around and once she saw his face, she smiled. He waved his hand.“Good morning. Let’s eat lunch together later?” he asked and she nodded happily.“Sure!” she answered with a giggle. He nodded while smiling before going to his own classroom further away from hers. He walked down the halls and r

Nonetheless, the teachers in his school understood the situation.After she was done cooking, she looked at the clock and noticed it was 6:30 in the morning already. She was about to call Philippe to get ready but he soon came out of his room while yawning."Isn't it too early for you to get up?" he asked while rubbing his eyes and she shrugged."You need to get ready for school, now go," she ordered and he groaned."Do I really have to? I'm still so tired," he compl

It’s like a dream come true for Grian, the woman he’s been longing for is standing right in front of him in a beautiful red dress, ready for a dance. It feels surreal but it’s finally happening.When the music started, the people around them started dancing while they stood still and looked each other in the eyes. “You look so beautiful tonight, Fatima,” he said in a low tone and she smiled while blushing. Good thing it’s not that noticeable because of the blush from the makeup she’s wearing.“You’re looking fine as well,” she said while looking down. He held her chin and lifted it so she could see his face. “My eyes are up here,” he said with a smirk and she wrinkled her nose.“Everyone else

    AFTER FATIMA, GRIAN, AND her youngest brother got in the car, they started driving to the venue. She was in the backseat with her brother while Grian was the one driving them. Her heart was pounding and felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. Nonetheless, she tried hiding how anxious she was. She noticed how Grian was glancing at her in the mirror inside the car.“What is it?” she asked and he blinked a couple of times before looking back at the road. He cleared his throat and she furrowed her eyebrows.“Nothing, just admiring a beautiful girl,” he smoothly answered and she scoffed but deep inside, she felt her heart flutter.Once they arrived at the venue, reporters were waiting at the entrance. Both of them breathed heavily before one of them smiled. “Don’t be nervous,” Grian said with a smile before looking at her and she eyed him.
