Mom said we will just cook them later.We are now on the living room. Sitting across each other. Izzy and Shirly went out with their familys but promised to be here before the clocks strikes 12.I fished out my phone and saw that Greg has a message." If I pass the board exam,promise me you'll be my girlfriend again. Deal?". I've been looking at the screen of my cellphone for a couple of minutes already, reading his message over and over but can't come up with a reply. I have doubts. What if he'll end up hurting me agin for the nth time? Does he really loves me that's why he wants me back... or he just needs
Greg's PovI didn't know that waiting for a reply is this hard. I couldn't stay still and is always looking at my phone if Gracelyn has replied but hours has passed and there was still no reply.I put down my phone and went out to join my family and relatives on the count down. We all shouted from ten to one until the clock strikes twelve. It is officially Christmas eve. We greeted each other a Merry Christmas and had a sumptous meal. Sadly, Kevin, Fin and Roger couldn't come. I understand that we should be with our family first. I wish grandma was still here. I missed her pancakes and her hugs. Her hugs usually keep me warm."I know you miss your grandma". Mom said and hug me tightly. I almost forgot that I now have my parents with me.I hugged mom back and thank her for not giving up on me on the hard days."It is what parents do honey"."Why don't you go to Gracelyn's?"Dad suggested as he came near us.I shake my head."I want to spend this Christmas with you.

Gracelyn's POvToday is my flight. My family and friends including Greg's parents are here with me in the airport. I didn't know that many people will miss me this much. My eyes are starting to well up but I blinked it back.I don't want them to see leaving with a smooch make up all over my face. "Message us immediately when you get there . Take care of yourself. I love you" Mom hug me tightly."I love you too mom"."You should go now. You wouldn't be late for your flight. I love you sissy" My sister said and wiped her tears. It is my first time seeing my sister cry in public. I walked towards the counter and wave them goodbye. I enter the plane nd search for my seat. Good thing it is located near the window. I sat there, rested my head and closed my eyes. "Miss?"I opened my eyes."Can we exchange seat?". The man with toned body asked me. In all fairness, he looks handsome but his charms doesn't affect me."I'm sorry but I also wamtbto sit near the window" I smiled fakely and clo
Riley's POVI find the woman beside me interesting. She look so simple yet extraordinary. I don't know what's with her that my attention is drawn to her. I am not usually like this. I am not boosting but women are the ones getting my attention and not the other way around.When she said that I might be a kidnapper, hijacker and worst a rapist I didn't feel offended but rather I was amused. She was the first wimn who ever said that to me. My charms doesn't work to her. Our whole flight was filled with me talking to her. Initiating a conversation because if I don't do that, she wouldn't talk at all. When we arrived at Australia, she immediately passed at me without even glancing once. I chuckled to myself. She has trust issues that is for sure. I am getting interested towards her every minute that passed. I want to know what made her to be that tough and unpenetratable."Welcome back Riley!" Resty give me a hug and take my luggage."Where are the others?" I asked while looking around.
