last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2022-02-28 13:55:58

** TORI'S POV **

He's here. I heard the bell rang.

I barely slept last night. Aside from the fact that I was busy packing for my supposedly vacation, I can't help but think why I even said yes to his offer.

Checked the clock and it's four o' clock.

Right on time.

I can really say that going with Zach to Mexico is really a bad idea. It made me think twice if it's what I really wanted, and somehow I know I can be happy if I spend the next forty-eight hours with him. I had to be selfish.

I know it's not going to be as easy as what we thought, saying goodbye and forgetting everything? What if we can't fulfill the promise we agreed upon? What if in the end, I'll keep Zach for myself?

I dismissed the thoughts in my head. Today's the day that we'll have to forget everything and act as if nothing happened. We know that we need this. We will forget the lies, the drama and leave everything in New York. It's just going to be

    ** TORI's POV **I woke up with a smile plastered on my face. I stretched my arms to the other side of the bed, expecting Zach to be lying beside me, much to my disappointment no one was there. As I opened my eyes I'm in a bed, alone. I rubbed my eyes and sat up glancing at the surroundings thinking that he's sitting somewhere.I stood up taking a tour around the suite to find him."Zach?"I called out trying to ride along with his surprise.Where are you? Breakfast in bed perhaps? Pondering at the thought of me and Zach together again made me wonder how we're going to face everyone. I assumed when he said those three words last night we had an understanding.He wants me as much as I want him.As I checked the dining area of the suite, I saw silver platters carefully prepared as if a grand feast will take place. One thing I noticed though was a big cup of probably hot choco as if it was just prepared secon

  • Operation Date The Playboy   CHAPTER 1: MEET THE PLAYBOY

    (One day before the confession) ** Tori's POV ** It's another typical Tuesday here in the cafeteria while I enjoy reading my book, A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks. Our school is considered the most prestigious Private School in New York City. This school is known for being exclusive to the sons and daughters of the rich and famous. You can imagine the kind of life that I live with each day here; bullies, social-climbers, backstabbers, popular people, you know, typical high school setting, like Gossip Girl, minus the drama. Sitting beside me is my best and only girl friend, Chloe. Charlotte Loise, also known as Chloe, is the daughter of one of the most famous fashion designers in the world. I want to emphasize that Chloe is the hottest and most beautiful girl in this school. She is charismatic, charming, talented, care free and very fashionable. No w

  • Operation Date The Playboy   CHAPTER 2 : HER PLAN

    ** TORI's POV ** The school bell rang signaling the end of eight-period, which means I'm one class away to call it a day.I texted Nathan an apology message for leaving him alone at the cafeteria. I was totally pissed off at Zach. I just couldn't stand the sight of him. I know this isn't my usual personality but even the cutest cat can be mean sometimes, right? I think Chloe's lesson about letting out your anger is now showing up. I hope I can still control it.I stepped out of the classroom and headed to my locker to get the book for the last period, English literature. When the warning bell rang, signaling that it's time to hurry up or you'll be late for class, I hurriedly collected my things. I didn't want to be late for my next class. I've never been late nor absent in my whole life. Even if I'm sick, I still insist on going to school because for me, education is very importan

  • Operation Date The Playboy   CHAPTER 3 : THE CONFESSION

    TORI's POV ** "What do you want?" Zach asked impatiently. "Don't waste my time. This better be important." Now he sounded annoyed too.Even I don't know how to start this conversation. We're in an empty room, the class has already started and I can sense that he's kind of pissed right now. I dragged him from the parking all the way here for nothing? How am I going to start this? How am I going to convince myself that I like him? I haven't confessed to a guy before. I should have thought this through."If you're not going to talk, I'm leaving." He stated clearly. He stood up and headed to the door. He's leaving. This is not good. I have to stop him.I quickly grabbed his shirt and tried to stop him. "Wait!" I then protested.He glowered at me and then he shouted "What!"I stepped back and look at him straight into his e

    TORI's POV * "Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please." Zach cried-out. He wrapped his right hand around my shoulder and drawn me closer to him. "This girl here is Victoria Peige, the heiress of the famous Prestige Hotels, she's my new girlfriend." My eyes widened, my mouth is still ajar. At first I thought he would say it in front of my friends, but in front of the students here in the cafeteria? Is he trying to humiliate me! Everyone in the cafeteria gasped, whispered even. It's as if this is some kind of a sick stupid joke. They were all staring at me. Most of the girls were giving me deadly glare. I was so embarrassed I could feel my whole face burning. "What's the meaning of this!" Nathan as

  • Operation Date The Playboy   CHAPTER 5 : PLAN TO MAKE HER JEALOUS

    ** ZACH'S POV ** Why did I even agree for her to be my girlfriend? She's nothing close to my type. She's dull and boring, not to mention, a bookworm geek. But looks-wise, she's not that bad, she's somewhat...passable.I lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling of the infirmary. It's been a really long day. I don't understand what that girl's up to. She really hated me yesterday, and now she's claiming that she likes me? That girl has some serious issues.I'll treat this as our little game Victoria Peige. It's been boring lately and I wanna do something fun.She's right though. I've never dated quiet girls before, not even a bookworm and a geek, they're just boring the hell out of me. How long will these acts going? How long will you last Victoria Peige? Can you handle a hot guy like me? I chuckled and brushed my hair with my hands. This is going to be interesti

    * TORI'S POV * "Hey Zach I have to go now. I might be late for class. I'll go on ahead. Thanks for the ride and nice to meet you Samantha." I stepped out of Zach's car and walked towards the entrance.Was he trying to make me jealous?Well, you'll never make me jealous, Zachary. I grinned to myself.Yesterday was a hell of a day. I've been ignoring Nathan and Chloe's phone calls all night. I think I'm not yet ready. I still have no idea what to say to them, especially to Chloe. She knows me too well to see if I'm lying or not.True to what Zach's had been predicted; I'm really receiving a lot of odd looks today. And I'm not really so surprised by that, seeing the outcome of his sudden declaration yesterday at the cafeteria, this is highly expected. At least they're not doing something stupid. The glares and whispers were... tolerable.&nb

  • Operation Date The Playboy   CHAPTER 52: THE OFFER

    ** TORI's POV **"Please. Leave." Zach's words were pleading and I can feel the pain in his voice. His eyes were still closed and it's clear that he doesn't want me near him. I'm somehow thankful that his eyes were shut, because the tears in my eyes were flowing freely. I'm trying my best to suppress my sobs.I watched him for about a few more seconds and then I took my retreat. I can't bear it anymore. I don't want to see him like that. I ran as fast as I can, away from him, away from this premise. I ran outside the school and hailed a cab to my house. There I started to burst in tears.I kept picturing Zach. At that moment, I want to come to him. To take back all the things I said a while ago. That it's not true that I don't love him anymore because in reality, I still do. I love him so much that it hurts.But I can't back out now. I have to do this for Chloe. I once promised that there is nothing coming in between our friendship.

  • Operation Date The Playboy   CHAPTER 51: BEING A FRIEND

    ** ZACH's POV **In his own odd way, I guess, my dad, don't know how to be normal after all. He's being a father in his own unique way.Now that everything's settled, all I have to do is clean up my mess. I won't let Tori go this time around. I won't let her slide off the palm of my hands unless she hears me out.I'm ready to tell her everything she wants to know.I went to the third floor balcony, expecting James to be there. But to my disappointment, he's not. I've been calling him to ask if Tori said something to him but he's unreachable.Where in the world could he be?I've been to the studio, the library, and every possible place I could find both of them. I'm very certain that Tori's not with Nathan because he left the next day I learnt about his doings.Honestly, I didn't want him to leave right away but he insisted that he needed this break so that I could have the opportunity to explain everything to Tori.

  • Operation Date The Playboy   CHAPTER 50: IT'S TRUE COLOR

    ** ZACH's POV ** 'What's keeping him so long?'I'm at one of our hotels in California where he's staying. It took me not long enough to know his location all thanks to good old Boris.With the perks of being an Anderson, I can do whatever I want. I can ride a private plane anywhere. It saves me a lot of time and time is what I need in this situation. I have to settle this once and for all. It's time to face my father.I've been thinking a lot. How I hate myself right now. Why didn't I hear Tori's explanation before? Why did I leave Mexico all of a sudden? Why didn't I ask for any explanation? And why is it that I waited a week to seek her out?I hate myself for being such a narrow-minded person. The moment I learnt that Tori used me, it never occurred to me that I used her as well. I came clean and only thought of myself. I blamed her for everything well in fact we just did the same. We used each other.If it weren't for Na

    ** JAMES' POV **I've been avoiding everyone since that very special day. Yeah, sarcasm. All my effort down the drain, what a waste. I wanted to tell Zach that Tori's intention might've been bad at first but she developed feelings along the way. If it weren't for that eavesdropper, blonde, everything was going so well.At that moment, it pains me seeing Tori like that. I don't want to see her in that situation. I've had enough of her misery. The last thing I want right now is to see Tori hurt, again. It's been more than a week already since my planned absence in school. I need to see where things are now. I immediately looked for Tori the moment I set foot in school. Surprisingly she's nowhere to be found. So I just decided to go to the school's third floor balcony hoping that I could find Zach, but to my disappointment, he's not there.I decided to stay there for a while, looking at the courtyard thinking what to do next. I contacted Zach.

    ** ZACH's POV **"Sneaky as always, huh, Hemmington." After I heard a very interesting story, I immediately went out and go hunt down Nathan.I'm at his apartment. I told Boris to use another number and pretend that Harry's in town and viola the bait is set."Anderson. I don't have time for this. I have to be somewhere." Nathan just continued to walk and ignored me. I'm still standing by the fireplace, busy examining my nails. I have to stay calm as possible. There were still a lot of questions that needed to be answered."If you're looking for Harry, he's not here. You just fell for my trap."Nathan stopped and looked at me disgracefully. "Seriously? We're not kids, dude. What do you want, Zach?""Well, I should ask you the same question, what game are you playing at?" I let that one out venomously. I guess I really can't suppress the anger I'm feeling right now. This guy is un-fuckin-believable.He just laughed sa

    **TORI's POV**"It still doesn't change the way I feel about you, Tori. Because despite everything, I still do."Zach's words kept on replaying inside my head. I don't know what to think anymore. I'm so confused. I don't know what to feel. What the heck am I supposed to do now? I told him that I don't love him anymore even if I still do.Why do I keep on lying to myself? Why did I even say that to him? Is it because of the fact that I'm in front of Nathan and James? I'm afraid that if I ever admit to him that I still love him, he might not believe me or worst, reject it. Why am I so stupid for falling for someone like him!"Tori." I was out of my reverie when Nathan called me out. "Are you alright?" Nathan worried.I looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile. It's been a week since the revelation and I really appreciate Nathan for not leaving my side. He's always been here for me.It's also been a week since I last saw Z
