Sunny’s POV
Here I am again, standing awkwardly in the middle of the crowd while holding a glass of champagne in my hand which I kept on drinking whenever someone passes my way. Oh God, if it isn’t my first love’s birthday I would probably think even of the most awkward excuses I could say just for me not to be able to attend. I’ve been clutching the blue paper bag to my chest, I’m so nervous to give it to him yet. And if you’re thinking where my beautiful sister is, she’s there at the kitchen, laughing with her and Henry’s friends as usual. “Hey Sunny! Is that you, Sunny?”
I almost choke from my champagne when I suddenly heard a voice of a woman beside me. I tilted my head beside me and saw Henry’s mom, smiling at me. “Auntie Margaret!”
“Oh Sunny, I already knew it was you! You’re the only one wearing such thick round glasses here.” She said, not kno
Sunny’s POV“Oh my sweet little Sunny! I’m so glad you came!” Damon’s mom immediately ran towards me as soon as she saw us stepping inside the restaurant. Damon dragged me here and now I just realized that I don’t have any present for his mom.I smiled as I hugged her back, “Hi mommy, H-Happy Birthday.”“Thank you, my dear.” she suddenly looked at the paper bag that I was holding so I immediately hid it behind me. “Is that present for me?” she asked.“H-Huh? A-Actually, it’s not—“Yes! That is for you, mom! Babe really made this one for you, right, babe?” said Damon as he grabbed the paper bag from me and handed it to his mother.“B-But that one is—He widened his eyes at me then he put his arms around my shoulders, “Just ride in, that four-eyed man won’t need it anyway.”
Sunny’s POV“Don’t cry in front of me, okay? I don’t want to see such ugly view.” Damon said to me as soon as we sat down on a bench at the playground next to the convenience store where he bought two ice creams in popsicle sticks.I took the ice cream from him, “As if I would actually allow you to see me crying.”“Then that’s good. I don’t want to see your ugly cry anyway.”“Do you really love my sister?” I looked at him.He was surprised by my sudden question and looked at me with wrinkled brows. “What?”“Why don’t you seem to be hurt about her being with Henry? Why do you look so okay after seeing them kissing a while ago?”Damon suddenly laughed like a demon that he really is. “Just because someone doesn’t cry already means that they don’t get hurt.”“W-What?”
Sunny’s POV“Sunny, where have you been? Henry has been looking for you.” Said Mira as soon as I stepped inside our house. “I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you that Damon’s mother celebrated her birthday with us today too.”Her eyes widened, “Oh really? God, I didn’t know that. Oh, alright then, why didn’t you give your gift to Henry?”“H-Huh?”“Your gift, you knitted gloves for him, right?”“I will just go to my room.” I said as I walked past her. I even heard her call my name but I just pretended that I didn’t hear her. When I was finally inside my room, I locked my door to make sure that Mira wouldn’t be able to sneak inside again and then I crawled up on my bed. What happened at Henry’s birthday and a while ago is still clear to me. He really loves my sister, and Mira loved him so much too. What can I even do with that? Right
Sunny’s POV“Sunny, what do you think should I wear, huh? Do you think this one is already fine? Do you think I should have my hair permed or I’ll just keep it straight like this?” Mom asked me 6 am in the morning while holding so many clothes. Dad suddenly came in too and showed us a suit with silver-colored beads which shines so brightly, he looks like a disco ball. “How about this one, Sunny? Do you think they’ll like it? Do I look handsome with it?”I glared at them, “Do you know what time is it? It’s still 6 am in the morning and you came barging inside my room to ask me if those clothes look good on you?!”“Just wake up there already! You should prepare too! Go on and buy some dress, and also, go to the market and buy some meat!”“Mom, they’re just going to visit here and talk to you, not to have a party. You can just wear your casual clothes.” Mom then w
Sunny’s POV“KIDNAPPER HERE!!!!” I yelled so loud as soon as the man took his hand off my mouth. He immediately freaked out and cornered me again against the wall. “D-Don’t yell please… I’m not a kidnapper, okay? I’m not a bad guy, I won’t hurt you just don’t shout.”“What the hell are you saying? You’re not a bad guy?! Then why did you—“I’m Jared Knight.” He said as he removed his face mask.A man with beautiful hazel brown eyes, pointed nose, thin pinkish lips, and a prominent jaw that is sharper than a knife. He has a small mole under his right eye and another one under his lips. God, he’s handsome as hell! “Wait, Jared Knight? You mean that famous superstar?!” He nodded as he scratched the back of his head, “Yes, I am.”“Then why are you here? Are you shooting or something?”“No,
Sunny’s POV“And who is that man, huh?” I almost jumped from where I was standing when dad suddenly appeared as soon as I opened our door. “D-Dad! You startled me!” He narrowed his eyes at me, “Is that your boyfriend? No, that’s not him. Then who was that, Sunny? Don’t tell me you’re having two boyfriends at the same time? Oh Sunny! I didn’t raise you to be like that!!”“Dad, that was Jared.” I said as I began walking inside, going straight to the kitchen. “J-Jared? Who’s Jared?”I first washed my hands before putting the ingredients in the sink to wash them. “Jared Knight.”“Jared Knight? You mean that dude that sings like a goat on T.V?!”“Uh-huh.”Mom suddenly appeared too, wearing a pink halter dress with roses all over it. She looks like a curtain. Good thing my mom’s beautiful like Mira. &ldq
Sunny’s POV“G-Good Evening, Mommy and Daddy…” I said to Damon’s parents as I both hugged them. Mrs. Furlord looked at me when she finally moved away from the hug. “Good Evening, darling. You look so gorgeous tonight! You are stunning!” “Thank you… hehehe…”“Go on, sit beside your boyfriend.” Said mom.I looked at Damon who’s currently staring at me with his mouth open. “Close your mouth, a bug might go inside it.” I whispered as I sat next to him.“W-What bug?” he said then he glared at me so I just laughed.“Oh, nothing.”“It’s so nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Furlord.” Mom initiated the greetings.Mrs. And Mr. Furlord then reached for my parents’ hand and shook it. “It’s so nice meeting you too, Mr. and Mrs. Peruvian. Now I know where Sunny got her beautiful looks!”
Sunny’s POVI woke up feeling something hugging me. Ah, maybe Mira is already here. She went here to my room as soon as she arrived. That girl is such a baby, really. “Mira, you should go back to your—As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Damon’s face just an inch closer to mine. He was sleeping soundly while hugging me as if I’m his pillow. All the pillows that I put between us were already scattered on the floor, as if he kicked it away while he was asleep.“H-Hey Damon, w-what the hell do you think you’re doing?! L-Let go of me!” I said as I tried to push him away, but he was too strong. He kept on hugging me tightly, like a kid. “I-I said let go of me! You’ll let go of me or I’ll kick your ass?”Still, he didn’t move. I had no choice but to stare at his sleeping face. In fairness, he looks innocent when he’s asleep. So far when he’s awake. He has these thick black ey
Sunny’s POVI was looking down the whole time while Damon and I were walking through the street. No one’s speaking between us after what just happened.I still can’t believe Jared did that to me.I thought he was nice. I even thought that I could give him my heart and have him as my first boyfriend but I was wrong. Maybe Kayla was right, I’m so gullible.“Where do you want to go now?” Damon finally spoke.“I just want to go home.” I mumbled.“But I don’t want to go home yet.” He said.I didn’t answer him.I’m not comfortable with him ever since what happened that night. And he even told Kayla and Jared that he loves me a while ago. For sure he did that just so I wouldn’t look so pitiful.“I will just ride a bus.” I said as I was about to walk away but he grabbed my hand.“Sunny.”I looked at him witho
Sunny’s POV“Their cordon bleu tastes fantastic, right?” Jared asked me while we were walking outside the mall.I smiled. “Yeah, and I also liked the tiramisu.”“You’re right. Where do you want to go next, by the way?”“Hmm. I think I know a cable car near here. Would you like to try riding it?”“Really? Sure! Let’s go!”“Okay! Hahaha!”We started walking again. I was glancing at Jared all the time that’s why I didn’t notice that there was a car coming to my way. “Sunny!”“Huh?”Jared immediately pulled me close to him. “Are you alright?”“Y-yeah. T-Thanks.”“Here. Walk on this side.” He said as he pulled me to his other side. “It’s safer there.”I smiled at him. “Uhm.”“I will protect you no matter
Sunny’s POV“Sunny! Jared is already downstairs!” I heard my mom’s loud high-pitched voice who’s better at waking me up than my alarm clock.I walked to the door and opened it. Mom got surprised upon seeing me fully dressed already. “Is the world going to end today?” she mumbled why eyeing me from my head down to my feet.“Huh?”“You’re fully dressed. Usually, at this time you’re still sleeping soundly in your bed.” Mom suddenly touched my face. “What’s wrong, Sunny? Are you sick? Where’s my youngest daughter, huh?! Where is my lazy little Sunsun?!!”“Mom.”She looked at me skeptically. “Tell me, are you that excited to see Jared?”“H-Huh? W-What Are you saying?”“You’re having a date today, aren’t you? You’re wearing a pink sundress and you’re not with your eyeg
Damon’s POV“Mr. Furlord, you have a visitor.” said Edward.I put my pen down and looked at him. “Who is it?”“It’s Mr. Knight. Jared Knight, Sir.”“Let him in,” I said.I leaned on my swivel chair as I waited for the door to open. What is that asshole doing here? I balled my hand into a fist. Just hearing his name makes me feel mad already.The door of my office went open and I immediately saw Jared walking towards me with that usual annoying smile on his face. “Good Morning, Mr. Furlord.”“What do you want from me?” I asked without looking at him.“I want to talk to you.”“I don’t have time for you.”“It’s about Sunny.”I stopped for a while, I gripped tight of my pen, and glared at him. “What about her?”“I like Sunny.” He blurted.I
Sunny’s POV“Sunny, you should clear those rumors up immediately. Damon might even know about it and he’ll surely get jealous!” Mira said over the phone.I fixed the bowtie of my uniform while pressing my phone on my right ear using my right shoulder. “I will make it clear later. And I will also talk to Jared about it.”“That’s right. You shouldn’t have any romantic relationship with some other guy except Damon. For sure he’ll get super jealous.”“As if he really would.”“Of course, he would, he’s your boyfriend!”“He’s not my boyfriend, Mira.” I said as I finally put my glasses on.She went silent for a while, probably processing what I just said. “H-He’s not your—What?!”“We were just pretending,” I replied.“What?! What are you saying? Sunny, are you serious?&rdquo
Damon’s POVI threw my phone to the floor when I saw what article has been running in the internet. How dare that asshole announced to the public that he’s Sunny’s boyfriend. Didn’t I tell him too before that Sunny is my girlfriend?!And that woman, how dare she agree to that? Does she really like that moron?!“Damon honey, have you read the news?! It’s all about Sunny and Jared Knight! Did you guys break up? Why didn’t you tell me?!” Mom came running inside my room freaking out while showing me her phone with the damn article again.“We didn’t break up, mom.”“W-What? Then what is it? Why is she with that man?”I heaved a deep sigh. “I don’t know. I’ll talk to her later, okay? That news is probably fake. Maybe the paparazzi just made it up. Sunny is my girlfriend.”“Oh Damon, please make it clear. Don’t let Sunny be taken a
Damon’s POVI was busy signing all the papers that I have to sign while I was sitting on my swivel chair inside my personal office here in the hotel where I stayed for a while when someone suddenly knocked. “Come in.”The door opened. It was Edward.“Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Furlord.”“It’s alright. What is it?” I asked him as I put my pen on my table before looking at him.Edward walked towards me, holding an envelope in his hand. “Someone sent this here, Mr. Furlord.” He said as he handed me the envelope.“From who?”“It doesn’t have a name or address where it came from, Sir. It only has your name,” he replied.I took the envelope and opened it. It doesn’t really have a name on it, but they wrote my name in the upper right corner.It surprised me when I saw who the person in those photos was. It was Sunny and Jared. They
Sunny’s POVI woke up because someone keeps on knocking on my door. “Sunny! Sunny! Wake up there!”I sat up on my bed and reached for my glasses. It was mom. I wonder what does she wants from me again. I stood up and walked towards my door, and opened it. “Mom, how many times do I have to tell you that—“Jared is waiting for you downstairs.”“Tell him I don’t—W-What?!”“Jared Knight! That pop star who sent you home once!”“Yeah I know, I know! W-Where is he?”I immediately ran downstairs without even thinking about how I look or remembering that I just woke up. I saw Jared sitting on the couch while scrolling through his phone. “J-Jared.”He put his phone inside the pocket of his black jeans and stood up as he looked at me. A huge smile appeared on his face as soon as he saw me. “Sunny. Good Morning.”“
Sunny’s POV“Are you alright, Sunny?” Jared asked me as soon as we were able to escape from Kayla and her stupid friends.I looked at his hand that was holding mine. “I’m alright, Jared.”He let go of my hand. “You should’ve told me about that in the first place. You should have told us about it.”“I didn’t want you and Natalie to be involved. I’m the one they’re actually targeting anyway.”“But we’re your friends.”“I’m sorry.”Jared heaved a sigh. “The next time Kayla and her friends try to hurt you again, just tell me, okay?”“Jared, Natalie might really tell everyone about your real identity.”“I don’t care about that, okay? Your safety is more important to me.”I looked at Jared with my eyes widened upon hearing what he just said. That was the very f
