2024-10-29 19:42:56It has been a week of Hayley waiting for her mother to come home but because two tropical cyclones hit their country, her parents could not come home yet. She also got sick the few days she came to the mansion, maybe because she stayed showering for too long.
The past few days, she tried hard not to think about her problems but every time she does something, she only gets flashbacks of Kenji. Her smile would slowly fade then.
Just some moments later, Hayley finally took her phone from her side table's drawer. She long-press the side button to turn her phone on and all the messages and missed calls appeared. The most recent ones were from Mafu that made her eyes wide.
Is Mafu worried about her? Or is he going to scold her about what she did to Kenji? But as she reads the texts, Mafu seemed worried about her more.
Well, it is Saturday, maybe she can call Mafu and fix things between them. Maybe even Mafu could help her with Kenji. So, she gazes down at

Kenji misses Hayley so much but every time he thinks of her being with Troye, it pains him that he'd just drink it up. She doesn't even try to contact him and that just says a lot. It's been almost a week since he stayed in this mansion and his parents are on a business trip, he might just well text the gang to hang out. Just as he was about to open his chat a text from Eren arrived, inviting everyone to drink at his house. It made Kenji frown a little. Eren never invites them to his place. Well, this should be exciting, he thought. Kenji needed a shower. He was about to take off his shirt while on the way to the bathroom when suddenly his door flung open. He turn around and his eyes widened when he saw a soaked Hayley with her brows crossed. My! What is his wife doing in his room all wet? From that expression on her face-- her killer eyes, her flaring nose, and that heavy breathing. The inner voice inside of Kenji's head is telling him to run away before she

In Kenji's bed, Hayley rested her head on his chest, her arm on top of his stomach resting. She thought she won't be able to be with him like this anymore, but here she is, in his bed with him. "Can I borrow your clothes? I'm going to put mine on the--" "Stay here a little longer. I missed you," he cut her off, wrapping an arm around her waist, his hand is warm. "I love touching you like this." That cheeky smile on his face made Hayley sneer at him. She too likes it when he's touching her everywhere with his untamed hands. "Nobody will take you away from me," Kenji told her, his eyes blazed with a different kind of flame she has never seen. "I would never let you go without a plan to take you back." "That was real when you asked me to stay, right? But why did you take it back?" She wants to know what changed his mind. "Your stupid reaction made me take it back. I didn't want you to pity me nor put my feelings first to what you tr

Shelby and George just got home and Carter had greeted them together with every maid and the butler. Then Shelby frowns noticing how Kenji isn't there to greet them. "Where's my son? Don't tell me he is still sleeping? Or did he go home?" She asked Carter while plastering a slight smile on her face, blinking prettily. "Young master is still in his room, ma'am but--" Shelby didn't hear it and marched towards the way which Carter immediately blocked. She narrowed her eyes at the assistant and then raised a brow. "What is your problem, Carter?" "Miss Hayley had stayed the night and I don't think the young master wants to be interrupted, Ma'am." Suddenly, Shelby let out a burst of evil laughter that echoed across the room. She had an obvious grin that she just can't hide. "Well then!" She brought her hands together, almost squealing. "Prepare lunch for our family! My prayers have been heard! And oh! Miss Gracey!" She smirks a

The next day, Hayley and Kenji decided to go to school together. There is nothing to hide anymore, Hayley doesn't care what anyone says. She has the right to be proud of her relationship with Kenji. Although almost everyone was looking at them as they walk the halls and stairs, Hayley had her head held high. Kenji had her hand in his and it just feels so nice. She glances at him and she can't help but think of how cool her husband is. Kenji walked her to her classroom and knowing their class, someone ran to report what they saw and now they're peeking through the door. "Text me if you change plans," Kenji told her. Hayley nodded and was about to turn around when Kenji grabbed her arm making her face him once more. She raised a brow and that is when he brought his face closer, kissing her forehead. Her classmates squealed and some yelled making her cheeks pink. "You didn't have to do that!" "I want to," he

Hayley was on her way to Kenji's usual parking area when a little far away, she saw Eren and Kenji talking so she immediately hid at a pillar. She should not be hiding but she's already behind a pillar so she'll listen. It took a while but she heard everything they talked about. And when she peeked and saw Eren left, she came out. Releasing a sigh, she walk towards Kenji like she had not listened. "Hey!" She greeted Kenji who was looking down. His eyes were lonely, he feels gloomy. "You alright?" "Yeah, all good." Kenji opened the door for her and she got in. She watched from the inside as he turns to the other side to get in. Although Kenji says he is alright, Hayley knows it hurts to lose a friend you've been with for years. Imagine having that one best friend you have had since freshman years and just when you're in the last year of high school, that friend just disappeared. The dreams you've built together, the happy memo

Before taking a step inside the house, Hayley inhaled and exhaled deeply, shaking both her hands. She has a lot to ask and say to Cassandra and she wants to be able to talk about it all tonight.She moved her feet, walked past the living room and headed towards the almost spiraling staircase where she met Cristy. At first, she thought Cristy would stop her but instead, she gave her a smile."Your mother and father are in their office. You might want to knock first before coming in," Cristy told her."Will do," she replied, glancing at the stairs and back to Cristy. "Thank you for not stopping me."Hayley gave Cristy a hug and then she proceeds to climb the staircase. It'll only be a family talk, she reminded herself. Well, she hopes it will be a family talk.Just as she was in front of the huge doors, she knocked. Before they allow her to come in, she already turned the doorknob and pushed the door, letting herself in. She saw how busy her parents

Kenji and Hayley decided to stop by a corner store in which they bought cold canned drinks and chips. Before drinking hers, Hayley rolled her can on her cheek where her mother had slapped her."Does it still hurt?" Kenji asked her as they started driving again."A little," she answers."Do you want to go to the beach?""The beach?" Her brows raised up at him. "At night? Are you serious?""Yes, I am. It's pretty cold so we probably won't go swimming, let's just enjoy the waves crashing on the sand. Maybe it will make you feel better.""That sounds fun," she softly said, smiling at Kenji.And so Kenji drove them to the nearest public beach.When they arrived, the cold wind was blowing making Hayley rub her arms with her hands. Perhaps the beach is a bad idea. But as soon as they both sat down on the sand, with Kenji back hugging her tight, she immediately take it back."Still cold?" he questions.&nb

Under the beautiful blue sky, Eleanor and Jasper walked out of the church sealing their promise in front of a lot of people. Then they went to the reception where the afterparty is held. It was not as grand as my wedding but it was happier. As the party was over, the newlywed made their way to their car after bidding goodbye to us for their honeymoon. Eren and Greg with their girlfriends went home. Mafu and Clarielle-- which I never thought had something-- had gone to enjoy the night. That leaves us, Kenji, Bren and I to do something fun. Bren was entrusted to us after all. "So, what do you like to do, baby Bren?" "I'm not a baby anymore, aunt Hayhay. I'm a big boy now!" This makes me laugh. Bren is just seven an

Hayley's heart was just crushed the moment she heard the name. She felt everything lost in time and even when it was just a second, to her, she was transmitted somewhere dim and slow. Until Clarielle took her hand taking her back to the real world. "I've heard so much about you, sister! Finally, I get to see you in person!" Clarielle continues to get excited. Is this girl really calling her sister? It could have been sweet if Clarielle wasn't Kenji's new girl but she is. Hayley flashes a faint smile. "It's nice to meet you too." It's nice to get slapped like this, words she can't say so she continues to lift the corners of her mouth higher. "Though I'm not so familiar with you, I've heard your name twice." "Oh, right! I'm so

Before they know it, the trip was over. Hayley thought of staying because she fell in love with the ocean and the underwater creatures. She wanted to keep swimming and submerge herself with the ocean. When she's swimming, she feels like she's floating away from her problems, her painful feelings. But the sun always sets and she has to go home. As they board the plane, they all talked about Jasper and Eleanor's wedding. Hayley had almost forgotten about the date. Luckily, they are discussing everything now. "I hope you guys are free during the practice. It won't take long and it's maybe just two or three times," Eleanor stated. "I'm always free," Mafu said, raising his hand. "But I do need a favor to ask. I'll text you the details later in private." "Are you going to steal Eleanor from Jasper?" Greg joked, softly chuckling which earned a glare from Mafu. "That's why Lily doesn't like you!" "Hey, Lily likes me!" "Oh c'mon!

Greg for no reason woke up early and head out to see the morning sun. Surprisingly, he saw Kenji in the lobby with a backpack on. Greg frowned approaching Kenji."Yo! I thought you leave in the evening? What's with the bag?" Greg asked."Change of plans," Kenji told him like it's no big deal that he is leaving. "I have something important to do. I'll hang out next time.""Next time? Yo! You said it the last time but we never saw you then, you piece of trash! Don't give me that I'll hang out next time!""Chill bro!"

The night was fantastic, the foods served by the resort are really delicious that Bren really enjoyed. Their surrounding was peacefully harmonizing with everything except Kenji and Hayley. They noticed how the two of them are glaring at each other since they were sitting the opposite sides. Guess their sweetness must have expired, all of their friends thought. To lighten the night, Mafu took grabbed his glass and raised it up. "Cheers to us gathering peacefully!" he cheered. When Greg raised his glass, the rest of them just followed so it's not so awkward for everyone. Hayley had a glass of sparkling wine that she raised and when she brought it down, closer to her lips, Kenji suddenly took her drink and drank it. Everyone ha

"Do you think they're alright?" Eleanor asked the people inside the van. "Hayley was so mad, she is going cut your head off, Mafu.""They will be fine! At least she won't have any other escape!""I feel bad for Hayley," Greg stated. "We are sabotaging her.""Just chill guys! We will know what happens when we see them!" Eren told them.But Eleanor was still worried about her best friend. She is a terrible friend for agreeing with the group's plan to bring back Hayley and Kenji. Although she heard Kenji say that he loves her the same, to Eleanor, Kenji seemed changed."Something weighing your mind?" Jasper noticed her blank stare."Yes. I'm just worried about Hayley," she replied, flashing a smile. "Kenji just feels different. Like he is back to being that unapproachable guy who puts a line you're unable to cross.""It's something understandable. They spent four years apart. Any person would try to change bad habits but I think Kenji is

Hayley froze in where she was. She doesn't even know if she should look back and gaze at the face she misses or pretend to be cool about his sudden reappearance. "Yo! Dude!" Mafu cheered that snapped Hayley back. As Mafu runs to hug Kenji, Hayley took the chance to turn to see her husband. Kenji looked way better than when she first met him. He was brighter, more handsome and his wide smiles were back. Tears were starting to form in the corners of her eyes so she looked away. "Man, you didn't tell me you were coming!" Greg yells. They were crowding around Kenji and so Hayley took this chance to go on ahead. She doesn't know how to face Kenji. Everything about him changed and he didn't seem to mind her too. It will only embarrass her if she acts close when they are not close anymore. At the waiting area, Hayley immediately took off the rings on her finger and put them inside her bag. Why did nobody tell her that Kenji was comi

Time flies so quickly and it has been four years since Kenji disappeared on them. Only one semester left in college and Hayley will be graduating soon. The first two years, she was still hopeful to find Kenji, hopeful that he will return but then as soon as she was on the third year of waiting, that hope she has slowly faded. Whenever Hayley asks about Kenji to the guys, they would tell her they don't know where he is at the moment. They said Kenji never once contacted them too. Even though she thinks they lie, she would not blame them. After all, it was her who hurt their friend. Hayley sighed, looking at the big house in front of her. She is using it as a reference for her next project but the fresh breeze and the sky are just reminding her of the meadow. Four years... it has been four long years but the rings were still on her ring finger. "Your thoughts are flying somewhere again!" When she turned to her right, she saw Eleanor who just returned fr

After Kenji left, Cassandra went to her daughter's room. She sat on her daughter's bed and looked at her peacefully resting. There were tears in the corners of her eyes. "Oh my little flower," she softly cries, flashing a sad smile. "I thought I should grow you with thorns so no one would hurt you. I've forgotten that you can also hurt yourself. Despite that, you have hurt the one you love too. "I am very disappointed in you for hurting someone who truly loved you. I guess you took over from your father. I guess it's my fault too for cutting off your wings. I am truly sorry, Hayley." Cassandra sniffled, wiping her tears gracefully. "Get well soon, my love. Let's hopefully bring back the times we missed because of my fears." After kissing her daughter's cheek, she left the room for her little love to rest. Just as she predicted, her daughter did hurt Kenji and she didn't have to do anything... nothing at all. "This is for the best,"
