Chapter 35: Hometown
"Ate Luli, where will our room be?"
"The one next to your parents," I replied to Maegan while I am arranging some of the things we brought here.
"Okay. I'll go to sleep first, huh? You know, jet lag," she then giggled.
I laughed at what she said. "All right, you go ahead. I will follow there once I finish this," I told her which she just nodded and then immediately went to our room.
As I talked about last week with Aunt Beatriz and Uncle Ronel, we are now in Carmen—a small town situated in Bohol, where I exactly grew up in which I have memories here that I tried to escape and forget.
Chapter 36: SurpriseThe next day because I was exhausted, I woke up late. If my stomach hadn't growled, I would just be lying in the bed all day. It is because of my headache. Probably it was still an effect of jet lag.Today is my special day, and I thought I would wake up with some noise bombarding inside my room but instead, the entire house is eerily quiet.Have they forgotten?No. That is impossible. Because they come here with me for today and then they will just forget about it? Maybe they just went for a walk. Right! That's for sure.I just shrugged it off and took a shower. I hope this day will turn out well.After bathing and tidying up, I left the room. The moment I opened the door, I jumped in surprise when an explosion of colorful c
Chapter 37: Amomaxia | WARNING: MATURE CONTENT AHEAD | "I love you too, Gave. Let's make this official." He was stunned after hearing what I just said while his eyes gets bigger and his mouth agape. Perhaps, he was really shocked by now. "W-what? You're not kidding, right?" he mumbled. I can hear the uncertainty in his voice. I genuinely smiled at him and nodded as a response. I just laughed when he suddenly screamed with excitement and hugged me tightly. After a while, he wrapped my cheeks in his palms. And that gave me a chance to stare at his deep ocean blue eyes that are now glistered in tears. Aw, my grumpy boss is getting soft.
Chapter 38: Wilderness | WARNING: MATURE CONTENT AHEAD | I thought we will do our love-making in the car just once, but then it happened again and again and again when we moved to the backseat until we were both exhausted. Perhaps, that is how much we miss each other. After we have recovered our strength and the moment the rain had stopped, we went outside the car to face my parents together. "Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Abejero. I'm Lucio Gavin Cradford, your future son-in-law," Gavin broke the silence between us, introducing himself to my parents. We are now in front of their tombstone. I just shook my head as I smiled at what he told my parents. I think he was really eager to be tied to me—even though we were just starting
Chapter 39: Lie"Thank you so much for coming, sis. Take care," I bid goodbye to my crazy best friend and hugged her tightly.She then patted my back while giggling softly. "No worries, my dear beshy! After all, I had so much fun," she replied before letting go of the hug."Me too," I agreed with a wide smile on my lips. "It's just now that I've been able to celebrate my birthday with such joy. I am beyond happy.""And it will be even happier on your next birthdays. That, I assure you, my sistah!" she enthusiastically muttered.I just laughed at what she said, especially at her craziness.“You should go inside, sis. You might miss the plane if you don’t move right now," I shooed her away when I heard that her flight was already been called out
Chapter 40: Voice"Wait, love . . . I'll go with you," Gavin stopped me as I was about to get out of the car when we were already at the entrance of Heavenly Memorial Garden."No, love,” I declined. “You can just wait for me here. I'll be right back."He frowned at what I said, a sign that he did not agree with what I wanted. So I quickly kissed him on the lips, a trick that I learned in persuading him and also one of his weaknesses."Please, love?" I pleaded and clasped my hand with puppy eyes just to complete my persuasion.After a while, he sharply exhaled."Fine. Just be careful, okay?" he then muttered which made me smile.My cuteness is effective.I just giggled at the thought.
Chapter 41: Moonlight"What's wrong, love?""Huh?" I mumbled and was slightly taken aback when Gavin suddenly caressed my right cheek. "What is it, love? Are you saying something?"His forehead creased at what I had said. "You spaced out. Are you okay?" he muttered and I can hear the concern in his voice.I hesitantly smiled at him and nodded. "Yes, I am fine, love. Let's go?" I urged him to dismiss the conversation. I don't want him to worry. Besides, I think I am just hallucinating things.He then heaved a sigh and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes and smiled at what he had just done. Because of that, I calmed down. And for a moment, I have forgotten about what I had heard earlier.For the following days, we spent it strolling around some tourist spots in Bohol. I don’t know if
Chapter 42: MessageThe next day, we went to the airport early because we took the first flight. The plane landed just over an hour later and now we are here at Millano’s residence."Sit down first," I told Gavin as we entered the house. He then sat down on the long sofa.I didn't let him go home straight to their house because he needed rest. He drove nonstop for a few hours."I'll get you something to drink. What do you want?" I offered.We were the only ones left in the living room because Aunt Beatriz and Uncle Ron together with my cousins immediately went up to their respective rooms as they got tired from our trip."Thank you, Love. But I'm fine," he refused.When I looked at him, I instantly noticed the dark circles und
Chapter 43: LuLuI don't know if I am still hallucinating or someone is guilt-tripping me. But this is really freaking me out! Ever since I visited Yvor and finally let him go and as well as our memories, I have been receiving strange signs that are making me remember him. It’s as if I am being haunted by his soul.Are those just a warning to tell me that what I did was wrong? That I shouldn’t have replaced him and let him go so that early? But does three years still fast to move on?I didn't plan everything that happened. Everything that is happening right now was just sudden. Falling in love once again didn't even cross my mind the moment I went here. But I don’t have a hold in my heart. It got tired of being trapped in the past and chooses to beat on someone else.Am I wrong? Did I make the wrong decision? Is
