Love Ain't Always Pretty CHAPTER 40 Furyo
CHAPTER 40 Furyo (不慮)Furyo (不慮)Translation: AccidentalOrigin: Japanese40I got myself busy and studied my lessons during the rest days of the week. I tried to avoid seeing him, I would eat dinner earlier than Tracy. I would do it on purpose or I would go out alone just to avoid seeing Nick. I keep on reminding myself that it's for the best. I know it's for the best. It might actually help me just a little bit to get over this feeling I have for him and I wish it would at least help.Now based on the way things that happened last Wednesday, I doubt that he actually cares much for me. He didn't even try to call or text me after that night. He completely treated me like shit.If I did something wrong that he didn't like, I expected that he would eventually explain it to me what it was or at least tell me what the hell upset him so much that night, but no he didn't bother telling me about it and I really hate it. The last thing I got from him was the slamming of his bedroom door after

CHAPTER 41 Stultus AnimiStultus AnimiTranslation: stupid feelingsOrigin: Latin41The glowing sun was slowly rising up in the dull morning sky as the sunbeams were casting down on the window pane. The light was growing more and more vivid making the sky more and more radiant as the glowing sphere climbed higher and higher into the sky. But as beautiful as the morning starts before my eyes, I knew today was going to be horrible.I was still inside Nick's car. I was still with him. After what I told him last night, neither of us spoke to each other anymore. I didn't try to say anything because I think I already embarrassed myself too much in front of him. I didn't even catch any sleep because I couldn't sleep at all. I couldn't sleep knowing that he didn't say anything to what I said. I'm still inside his car and he's still sitting down right next to me. We acted like neither of us existed.The car was parked right before the cliff where I could see the entire city below. My head was

CHAPTER 42 Green-Eyed MonsterGreen-Eyed Monster- jealousyOrigin: English42I miss Nick.Terribly missing himI keep on getting myself busy with my studies, exams, assignments and projects. Though time to time, Nick passes by my mind but I would quickly shake him off. It has been almost four weeks since the last time I talked to him. Almost four weeks since he dropped me home. Almost four weeks since I saw him.I was completely being delusional that I could handle it when he'll tell me that he never wanted more cos I thought if I'd give him time maybe he would come around but he's not.Tracy, Clyde and I would have dinner together but he wouldn't show up. Sometimes Alec would join us but Nick never did show up even though every night I hope he would. Every night I join dinner with Tracy hoping he would pop out of nowhere like he always do but he's not. He's clearly avoiding me. We both know we need this time and space from each other but the more days pass by, the more I miss him a

He says.I didn't answer."Push me away. Treat me like a complete shit like how I treated you before." he says.I didn't answer again.He looks at me and my eyes couldn't look away. Oh Nick I can't do that. Even if you hurt me, I can't hurt you like that cos I love you and I'm too scared of pushing you away cos I know you won't come back."Make me leave Savannah." He added.I shake my head, my words are not coming out from my lips and I don't know why."If you'll tell me to go then I'll go. I'll leave you." He continues as I feel his breath on my neck. But I shake my head once again.His arms were wrapping around my entire body. He's hugging me close to him that I can't seem to move away cos I love our position. My arms were on my sides. I'm not hugging him back. I don't want to feel anything attached to us anymore cos I

I say.Tracy looks at me. "Yes!" She rejoiced.I tried to comb my hair and gaze at my own reflection. I'm obviously preparing myself for tonight because I know I need to party and unwind."Been wanting to hear that coming from you without being forced by me." She said while laughing.I smile as I fix my mini skirt. She looks at me. "Wow. You're showing more skin.""Is it a bad thing?" I asked.She shakes her head. "No. You'll definitely be a jaw dropper. I love your sleeveless too. It looks so fancy."I smiled. "Thanks."I let Tracy put make up on me but not too much. Just a little make up that looks like I didn't put any make up. When we were done preparing, we headed out of the dorm and got into Romeo's car. Penny was there as usual but I really didn't bother her presence as if she wasn't her

I arched an eyebrow."I always have a spare key in this room."I looked away from him cos the more I look at him, I always remember what he said to Alec. It's getting harder for me and him being here is making me so confused."Why are you here Nick?" I demanded but I'm still not looking at him."You heard everything?" He asks."A while ago?" he added.I couldn't answer him. My tears are filling up my eyes again. I blink rapidly so I could stop my tears from falling. These are always gonna be tears of hurt caused by Nick. Tears of shame cos of my shameful decisions that I made.

This was our home, temporarily, but we'll find a place to call our own when we have the money. Maybe just an apartment or stuff like that. The party wasn't what we exactly expected it to be."I'm sorry." Catherine speaks to me.I opened the front door for her and we got inside the house. I placed the car keys down and starts unbuttoning my jeans."You don't have to be sorry." I say.All of a sudden she hugged me from behind. "I'm sorry about what my father said to you. He just went too far."I exhale."Why didn't you tell me about Hans? You're still together?" I asked herI feel her arms slightly pulling away from me. I know she's guilty of what I found out. I don't know if they were still together or not but I'm so jealous. I'm so mad. I'm not mad at Catherine but I'm mad at myself cos I'm n

I take a sip from my frappe and it's already four in the afternoon."Savannah. Good to see you here."I pulled my head up and it was Alec. He walks closer to my table. I haven't seen or talked to him after that night when I eavesdropped his conversation with Nick. I have tried to ignore him too cos I'm ashamed of myself. He knows the thing I have with Nick."Can I share a table?" He asked.I just stared at him and he says, "Don't worry I'm alone."I nod.Alec pulls out the chair across me and sat down with a smile.

I see Vance running down the staircase, as he puts on his shirt. "Stop screaming early in the morning Lissa!" "Mom!!" I whined again. I watch as my mother rushes her way down the stairs, "Jesus Christ Lissa, calm down." "It's first day mom. I need to hurry up." I answered her while she fixes her earrings. My dad was busy putting on his blazer on himself and fixes his tie while he was on the phone with someone, probably work related. It's my first day to go into college and my folks are worrying about me. Well I am nervous too cos every teenager would pass through this transition, high school to college then college to real world. But my parents are always so supportive of me and they trust me in everything I do and all the decisions I make. They're proud of me cos I always top everythin

Love Ain't Always Pretty CHAPTER 95 Perpetuity
CHAPTER 95 PerpetuityPerpetuity- the state of continuing forever or for a very long time95NICK'S POVAt first, I never actually believed in happy endings that it exist because based from my past, I thought my happy ending ended when Catherine died. I shut myself out from people and never have opened myself to anyone except my sister and Alec. Sometimes I shut my sister and Alec too. I knew from the very beginning that reality and fantasy are two different things.But as I stand in the doorway of our bedroom and watch Savannah sleep, I knew my happy ending is already happening. She doesn't know I do this, but I do it every morning because she's the reason why I start my day, no matter how busy I am in the office.It wasn't the first incident that I've done this, the first time was the morning that I first met her.

I asked in disbelief.I wasn't mad that I found out about it but I was amused for what he has done to me and my family.

I couldn't believe it myself after all these years, he still helped us."I'm sorry Savannah." Nick tells me."I didn't tell nearly anyone about it because I don't want all of you to feel like you're all indebted to me. Because you're not." Nick adds.God I love him too much."How did you know I bought your company back from Damon?" He asked Cameron."I asked and did some investigations. $50 million is such a huge amount Nick.

Those were the words Nick said to me.At some point, I have concluded that life really is unfair and uncertain. Unfair, because at some point the good people dies and the bad people lives. Uncertain, because we don't know how our life goes and when the people close to us will be gone or will return.After Tracy's burial, all of us felt drained by how early she left us. I haven't even talked to her when I came here. I was planning on surprising her when me and Nick would fix things between us, but it's too late. She's gone and we won't see here anymore.

I don't know what's the occasion but he really asked me to come to this place and it is very unusual of him to do stuff like this to me. I finally marched my way inside and the waiter by the door stopped us."Good evening sir. Table for?" He asked.I scanned through the entire place, "I'm with a friend. Found him. Thanks.""Let's go Dani." I tell my daughter.Both of us started walking to the table where Aries was waiting and Dani ran towards him as quick as she could. I don't know why Dani loves him so much, maybe because of the lavishing gifts he sent her every time there's special occasions, most especially her birthdays and Christmases."Uncle Aries!" Dani hugs him."Oh pumpkin. Hello. Let me take a good look a

I have been wondering how you've been since it's been roughly five years I haven't talked and seen you. As for me, I was busy taking care of Tracy at the hospital lately. She's been getting her meds and chemo. But don't worry, I still have time to write you a letter though and I promised myself to write you until I see you again. I just hope you're not getting tired of receiving all of my letters.A few weeks from now you're turning twenty-seven. Every time I think about me being thirty-three, and how older I am from you, it just disgusts me of my age. I am really indeed too old for you. But we all know older guys are hotter. Haha ;) My wish for you, if ever I won't see you on your birthday cos I know you won't, is all the best for your future, with or without me. I know you could make it through wherever you go.

I was honestly excited on writing you my second letter and for some reason I think you loved my first one. Don't deny it, I know you did ;) It's been a month and I miss talking to you. Well, you didn't respond to my first letter so basically I'm the one doing the talking.I smile.How's Melissa? Have you received her first month present? I'm proud of those since I was the one who picked most of it. All of it, actually. I hope everything will fit her. To be honest I really had a hard time picking those since I don't know what's her size. I chose the cutest outfits I saw and I've googled some baby clothes for girls so I had a few ideas. I'm sorry for acting like a father to her, I just felt comfortable when I held her on my arms that day.I stared at the baby clothes that he sent me and m
Love Ain't Always Pretty CHAPTER 89 Lie
CHAPTER 89 LieLie- statements which are untrue; to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive; to create a false or misleading impression; to bring about by telling liesOrigin: Middle English89There was a huge gift on Damon's hand and I was surprised with it. He bought a gift to Melissa but never dared to give it? Why? This means a lot to me because out of all Melissa's birthdays he never, not even once, gave her a gift. Every family occasion or special holidays like Christmases, he never gave her anything. Never.Even though I hate Damon so much because of all the cruel things he has done to me, this tiny thing he did for Melissa is huge, considering Melissa doesn't even bring his last name. It means he does love my daughter. He's at least beginning to love her. I know Damon is still a nice guy despite what he has become now, and he has his days all the time but right now I am really moved.He looks at me. "What are you doing here?""Is that a gift?" I asked. "For Melissa?"
