**Gael's POV***“Gael, I'm so glad you finally decided to meet me,” Greg said in excitement. “Oh, please. I feel ashamed for not being the kind of friend you actually need in your life.”“Huh? What makes you say that?”“A lot of things. I mean, you're my friend and I don't check up on you as much as you check up on me.”“Don't be like that. I understand you man. You didn't check up on me because you were running from the big wolves.”When Greg said this, I froze. This was the reason I decided to see him. He still doesn't know that I've reconciled with them and that I'm living in the mansion once again. “Uhm, Greg?”“Yes.”“I have something to say to you. But first, I want you to promise me that you wouldn't freak out.”“Freak out? Wait, did you kill someone?” Greg asked wide-eyed. “The hell! No, I'll never do such a thing.”“Well, that's literally the only thing that can make me freak out as it is.”“Oh,” I muttered. Hearing him say this, I'm kind of confused if I should tell him a
**Gael's POV***With Tracy being here with us, it seemed as though the table was complete. To be honest, Tracy is such a nice person to talk to and one reason I like her naturally. “Tracy, I heard Gael came over to your place. You know, I was just telling Gael about how stunned I was to know that he actually came.”“You're right. You had no idea just how happy I was that day. I never expected that he'll come, but he came anyway, and I'm still thankful that he came.”“This is good! Let's drink to it, guys,” Greg said, proposing a toast. We all drank to our hearts content and with a smile on our faces. I was glad that I was able to reconcile with my friends. This was something, I never thought, was possible. “Now that we are on the topic, I would like to extend my invitation for my birthday, which is coming up this weekend. I would be glad if you two could attend.”“Wow! Happy birthday in advance, Tracy,” Greg said. “Thank you…"“So you'll be a year older by the weekend, congratulati
**Cole's POV***When I heard Gael pleading with my brother's about going to a friend's party, at first, I didn't like the idea. I thought it was better that he didn't attend. But when they all refused him and seeing how sad he became, I felt troubled. I mean, why should I be troubled when they are only trying to look out for his safety. At that moment, an idea struck. If there's anyone Gael isn't interested in, it was no one else but me. I certainly do not want to do this if I truly wanted Gael to pay me any mind.When I finally agreed to him going to the party, I noticed there was a spark in his eyes. He must have truly wanted to go to his friend's party. “Alright. I should get dressed to leave,” just as he was about to leave, I quickly grabbed him by the hand and pulled him back.“Are you just going to leave?”“Huh?”“I thought you were going to, you know, appreciate me for letting you go to the party.”“Oh…" He muttered and stared at me for a few minutes, slowly he leaned in and
***Gael's POV***“You must be shocked to see me here, don't you?”“Well, I would like to believe that everything doesn't revolve around me, and for that, I will not ask questions that might not have anything to do with me.”“How so? Why don't you try asking so you can decide whether it's because of you or not,” she replied with a grin? This doesn't feel comfortable. There's this thing about Victoria I don't strike comforting, even though I do not know what that is. “So, why are you here?”“It's simple. It's because of you. How does that sound?” She answered with a smile. “You see, I find that challenging to believe, and I mean the fact that you're here because of me.”Victoria chuckled when I said this. “You don't perceive when to tell a joke, do you?”“Well, I'm sorry, but there's ever a little time for jokes in my life,” I replied, not impressed in the slightest. “Why don't I believe you? I mean, if there's nothing special about you, I don't see why the Barclays are all engross
I stared at my computer screen for almost an hour, just looking at the photos of one person. I drooled and swallowed every single time my eyes fell on his torso, his packs, his v shaped waistline and lastly his mesmerising eyes. I could stare at him forever if only I'm giving the chance to. I don't know how I gradually becahe obsessed with this guy, but unfortunately, I am and the worst of it all, is the fact that he is way out of my league. He is someone I shouldn't even dream about. Someone I should do everything I can to forget. But If only I can do that.The alarm ticked and that immediately snapped me out if my day dream.I quickly tore my gaze away from my computer and stared at my alarm clock which is on the same table and it says 6:am"No shit!" I quickly stood up from my chair and dashed to the bathroom. I can't believe I used my little sleep in staring at his photos again. I need help, because I think I'm loosing it real quick. After I showered, I came out if the bathroo
Gael's (POV)I can't believe I woke up late today. This is one of the reasons I tried not to think of the past, the fact that I was going to end up waking late after crying my eyes out. But then, I woke up late again.Standing by the bus station waiting for the bus going to Stanford Hill was another pain in the ass. The driver hardly arrives early.I peered at the time through my wristwatch, and it was 7:30 am. How was I supposed to get to the office by 8: AM considering the fact that the second bus hadn't arrived?I had missed the chance of 6:00am. The second bus ought to have arrived. Since 7, but now it's past 7 and counting. I tapped my foot on the floor anxiously, while staring at my wrist from time to time.“Mr. Roger is going to hang my head on a spike for sure.” I muttered to myself while waiting. I was supposed to hand in some project work but, from the look of things, I wouldn't be able to do so now. Shit! I shouldn't have let myself wallow in my pain.Just then, I spotted a
Gael's (POV)It's been a while since my encounter with Turstin. I can't believe just how rude he was. If I had known the man I had a crush on was this rude, I would have shunned my feelings for him a long time ago. He isn't worth it. He isn't worth my time for a bit. The door suddenly flew open and someone walked in. I was going red with anger, thinking it was Turstin, but I immediately beat down my anger when I saw another guy. He had beautiful blue eyes. He was putting on faded jeans and a t-shirt on a long white doctor's coat.“Hi, it's good to see you awake, Gael.” The strange guy said. I creased my brow in a frown when he mentioned my name. I don't know him, but how the hell did he know my name?“H…hi, have we met before?” I asked. He let out a light chuckle which showed a perfect dimple on both sides of his cheeks. Goodness! What the hell is going on? First it was Turstin, and now it was some strange guy whose identity I know nothing about. “I know you must be surprised, sinc
GAEL (POV)I woke up to yet another day, after taking Jeremy's painless shot. This time I was awoken by the sound of fingers working on a laptop. I took my gaze to the opposite side of my bed, only to see Turstin, yet again, working on his computer.I had no idea how he sensed I was awake. Just as I stared at him, he suddenly lifted his gaze to my direction.“Hey, pretty boy, you're awake!” He said with a beautiful smile on his face. I blinked and almost blushed when he smiled at me. In order not to make another fool of myself, I slowly took my gaze away from him.“Hey, do you need me to get you something to eat?”“I'd appreciate that,” I managed to say. Today was better because I was able to lift myself up. Jerry was right. He told me so long he's the one taking care of me, I'll never get crippled. Good thing I trusted him.“Good, I'll go get you something to eat then,” Turstin stood up to leave. Just then, I remembered something crucial that I'd been meaning to ask him.“Uhm, ex
