All I can hope is for you guys to enjoy the story! Love lots!
Mira’s POV (PAST MEMORY)I SNEERED AT IBARRA and looked at him displeased. Never in my life that I have thought he’d ask me to see him. Ibarra knew how much I dislike him for being such a douche, and I am well aware that Ibarra wouldn’t all of the sudden ask me to meet him – in private – just for nothing.I crossed my arms in front of my chest and lifted my chin as I stared down at him who was sitting on the couch inside his ‘lair’.“What do you want?” I asked as if I was some kind of a gangster.One side of his lips curled upward before leaning comfortably on the chair. “Mind sitting?”I huffed and even rolled my eyes in irritation, yet I found myself sitting in front of him. “Happy?”His smile extended a bit more and I must admit that this simple gesture of his could knock Rebecca out. I’m not usually fond seeing boys smirking like that but I cannot deny that it looks good on him.He totally looked like a playful, bad prince.Someone who is usually the main character of a book… but t
Mirajane’s POV (PRESENT TIMES) “WHAT’S GOTTEN INTO YOU?” Rebecca asked as soon as we entered her home. The filming ended earlier than expected and Judiel was a bit behind schedule to fetch me. I decided to wait for him at Rebecca’s home. “What do you mean?” I threw my bag on her couch before sitting on it. She stood up in front of me, giving me the ‘spill it’ look. “Why were you too engaged on pissing Ibarra?” I sniggered. “I’m not.” Rebecca let out a sarcastic laugh. “Of all the people who knows you, I know you the best. Stop acting as if there’s nothing wrong.” She’s right. There is something wrong. And I am being like this because… JUST THIS MORNING I WAS WALKING ALONG the school corridors while waiting for Rebecca. I got the urge to revisit all the spots in the school that I usually go to. And since it’s still early, there were just few people in the school. I brushed my fingertips on the cold walls of the classroom as I walk. I closed my eyes, filled my lungs with fresh
Rebecca’s POV “HMM… I THINK THERE’S something missing.” The director said while replaying the scene on the screen. “I can feel there is, but I can’t pinpoint it.” I leaned closer and asked him to replay it. I intently looked at the screen and immediately found the lapse. I asked them to replay it one last time and said ‘pause’ on the part that I have concerns with. “I think we can still improve this. And what happened at this moment is a bit different from what I remember.” “That’s what I noticed too.” Ibarra’s sudden comment startled me. I quickly stepped away from him since our distance was too close. I thought he wouldn’t visit the set today since he has a lot of things to do in the office. That’s the reason why Mirajane didn’t go with me today. She was confident that Ibarra and I wouldn’t cross path. Recently, she has become stricter whenever Ibarra is around. She wouldn’t even allow me to speak with him even if it’s about work. She would act as a middleman--- err, middle wom
Rebecca’s POVI TRIED THE BEST THAT I could not to make him feel that I am very much affected by his presence. When he sat beside me, his scent immediately enthralled my nose and I literally had to stop myself from closing my eyes as I whiff his masculine aroma.No, Rebecca! You’ve been with him for the past few days. What’s the difference now?!Yes! Why am I so affected by him today? Was it because we shared a water bottle? Was it because of the tingling sensation I felt when I saw his playful grin? Or was it because…?“So, what are you waiting for?” His voice woke me up from overthinking.I simpered as I stood up and faced him.“That’s not how you looked at me before.” He complained while staring at my frowned face. It ticks me off how he was obviously trying not to laugh at me.I gritted my teeth but did my best to give him the sweetest smile. “Better?”He beamed. “Better.”As soon as I turned my back on him, I frowned again and walked away – giving us at least a meter distance bet
Rebecca’s POV (PRESENT TIMES) “I LOVE YOU…” I unconsciously uttered in a shaky breath. Ibarra was lovingly gazing at me with both of his hands pinned on my sides. Just like what I did years ago… and just as close as we were that day. Tears started swelling in my eyes as soon as my love for him burst inside me once more. I thought I had these feelings buried deep down. I thought that I would never ever feel this way again. Then why?! No matter how many times I ask myself that, I cannot fathom the reason why this silly heart of mine kept this affection for this guy who did nothing but hurt me. I must really be crazy and stupid for falling for him. If only I didn’t hear these people around us clapping and cheering, I wouldn’t wake up from the momentarily weakness that came over me. I sniffled before pushing Ibarra away and lowkey wiped away the tears that were on the verge of falling. “This! This is what I’ve been looking for guys!” Director Jan exclaimed while excitedly clapping. “
Rebecca’s POV (A FEW DAYS LATER) IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE my last interaction with Ibarra. Any attempts of him reaching out to me was immediately blocked by Mirajane, Judiel or… Heiji. Yes, he’s been a bit active in my life recently. He’s been overly attentive to me and I find it… weird, but definitely cute. It was adorable to see this new side of him and to be honest, I am enjoying his company. He takes away the worry off my mind. Heiji is like my calming pill. “I thought you’re coming over with Jud?” I asked Mirajane as I sat down on my sofa. It was Saturday night, and we were planning to do N*****x and chill. I readied everything. Popcorn, beer and even cleaned and designed the house to make it look cozy. Well, I made a bit of an effort knowing that Heiji’s also coming. Don’t get me wrong. I just wanted to make my house look… presentable. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? “Sis, Jud suddenly got sick. He has to rest and I have to stay with him. Besides, we don’t want to s
THE NEXT DAY (Rebecca’s POV) “SO… MIND TELLING ME what happened last night?” Mirajane teasingly asked while nudging me by the elbow. “Was there some fierce action that took place, hmmm?” I rolled my eyes. “Seriously? Is that the only thing you’d like to ask me? Why don’t you ask me if I’m pissed that you and Jud decided to bail on me?” “Sis, I already told you that your dummy friend is sick.” “Sick? Or you two halfwits are cooking some devious plans inside your rotting brains?” She exaggeratedly gasped. “How can you talk to me like that?” “I’m not dumb, you know. I am very much aware that you two have been linking me and Heiji.” “Then why don’t you get it that Heiji likes you so much?” Mira murmured that I barely understood what she said. “What?” I looked at her weirded out. She plastered a smile before shaking her head. “Nothing! Anyway… didn’t you say that you’d spill the tea with me? So, stop keeping me in suspense. Did something happen between you last night or what?” I
A FEW DAYS LATER Rebecca’s POV I COULDN’T STOP my eyes from following Ibarra wherever he goes. Seeing him in a casual outfit with this cursed messy hair was making my heart leap. He already looked breathtaking on his suit, what more on this lean-back style? My stupid and naïve heart was once again fangirling at this wonderful man. Damn! Did I just admit that he’s indeed mesmerizing? “Hmm!” Mirajane tapped my chin and that’s when I realized that my mouth was open for overly ogling at him. “A fly might get inside there, you know. You are obviously getting draw to him again.” I pursed my lips tight and looked away in embarrassment. “What’s going on with you, huh?” She turned her seat at me. When my eyes went back to her, Mira has this serious look on her face that made me feel uneasy. I am very much aware that one wrong answer or awkward gesture, and she’ll find out that I am, as a matter of fact, attracted to him again. Well, did that ever changed? I mean… who am I kidding rig
