GIAN
“I HAVE warned you, Gian. If you can’t stand Chyna, then stop approaching her! What an asshole you are!? Look what you’ve done to her?”
I could not move. I was just watching Rizzi, who was busy attending to Chyna. She was drunk and had fallen asleep. Rizzi was Lenard’s wife and Dasha’s best friend. The three women grew very close to each other, and I would not be surprised why Rizzi was overprotective with Chyna.
I just arrived in Costa Galaxia. I picked up Camille at the airport and went straight here. Camille had been planning on taking a vacation here at Costa Galaxia. It took her that long to do it because of her schedule. She is an international model. I brought Camille to Sands Hotel 2 before going to cluster 9 to take a break.
I was planning on my next move when I heard Rizzi on the phone and heard something urgent about Chyna.
To my deep worry, I went first to the Galactic Bar
CHYNAMy tears fell while hugging her. I understand what she means, but I can’t take her advice. It was just hard to do it. I was a fool, I know.But there are no wise men when they were in love.My tears made their own sound, and Rizzi just caressed me lightly until I calmed.I only calmed for a while, but when I remembered Gian, I keep crying again. When are these tears would stop?I just hoped, maybe this time, the pain would lessen. I thought the alcohol would help me. But it didn’t.“Relax yourself. There’s a lot of things to do here aside from drinking. Cheer up!”Rizzi left me. I just sighed.It seems I have tried everything to cut Gian away from my system, but it was just hard to do it.Why was it so hard to move on?“Stupid heart. What am I going to do with you?” I frustratingly sighed again.I faced the food and tried to eat.
CHYNAWhy did she appear not threatened?‘She trusted me…’I remembered Gian’s words.Trust.Did she really trust him that much? That asshole might have changed a lot to earn that kind of trust.And that was the thing I don’t have. How can I give him my whole trust when he was cheating in front of me?I was such a nagging companion.I was just a companion, yet I nagged like a jealous girlfriend. Gian might have been gone tired of me for acting possessive all the time.I should take half of the blame on why do we end up just like that.“You’re not worried?” I confirmed.I just can’t believe it. I mean, I am a girl too. It’s natural for a woman to be suspicious of her partner.“As a matter of fact…” Camille stopped when the server took her order. “Mocca latte.” She w
GIAN EXCITED I climb up from the main pool. Our team won the championship of the water polo game. But I got dismayed when it was Camille who greeted me first. She kissed me.“Congratulations, babe! Your team was great!”I force a smile. “Thanks, babe.”I wanted to smash down myself. The feeling was wrong. I shouldn’t be feeling this way towards my girlfriend. But I can’t help anticipates it was Chyna who would greet me first. I saw her at the bleacher at the side part of the pool complex. She was cheering our team, I guess.In the first half of the game, I was not myself while playing. But I get energized when I saw Chyna. I felt like a teenager who joined the varsity team and was trying to show off to my crush.I missed her. I badly missed her.“I had to approach my teammates. I'll just ask something.”I hurriedly went to my team. They were in a fr
GIAN Camille and I went to Orange Cup Café for lunch. After eating, I started a conversation. I was still nervous, but I made up myself. “It is so hard for me to do this. But I need to.” I sighed. I have to think about this many times. And I have come up with a decision already. “What do you mean?” Camille seems confused. I frustratingly sighed and looked at her intently. I took a deep breath. I was about to open my mouth to say something when I heard a commotion somewhere from our back. I turned around when I heard Chyna's name. I got worried when I heard Rizzi’s panic voice. “Take care of the kids, honey. I need to attend to Chyna at EMG.” Rizzi seems to be in a panic. “What happened?” “I don’t know. The staff said she was bleeding. I need to hurry.” Anxious, I stood up and was about to follow Rizzi. My heart was beating fast. I was worried and nervous about what happened to Ch
CHYNA “Just to show off.” Flynn explained. “Oh.” I sighed. “Really. It’s just a trick. And I am not into dating again. Not yet. I was still tired. My heart was still tired.” “I can guess. I just want to cheer you up. If ever you need me, I'm willing to help. Just give me a call.” Flynn was trying to lighten my mood. I know. But I suddenly started tearing. Damn these stupid tear glands. Don’t they get tired of working for a new batch of tears? “You want a hug?” I don’t know why I nodded. I just need someone to hold me. And just about a second, he enveloped me inside his arms. But the feeling was different. I still love how Gian holds me. It seems I only belong inside Gian's arms. I was about to lay my head on Flynn’s shoulder when I saw Gian from the glass panel wall. From my seat, I could see him staring back at me. He looks like he had a lot of things to tell, but he can’t until Cam
GIAN“I remember when you heard my name, you automatically became interested in me. It’s not hard to predict that you only got interested in me because of my name. And that was also because of Chyna. It was always Chyna, Gian. You've lost interest in anything unless it was about Chyna. You only cared and think about her.”I wanted to say something. Console her. Ease her pain. But how am I going to do that if every she just said were all true? How can I deny it? I know denying wouldn’t solve the problem.“I love you, Gian. That’s why I am taking all the pain. I thought if I am patient, I could replace Chyna. But I was wrong. You nevertheless stopped loving her. She never stopped loving you. I knew it. I saw it the way you look at each other. And it hurts. It was so… so painful seeing my boyfriend was still in love with his ex. I am your presen
CHYNA“SO, what are your plans for this day?”I turned to Dasha. Aelax and Dasha were back at Costa Galaxia. While me, I just finished packing my things from my unit. Those were ready to be sent to our villa in the city. I still don’t know what to do with my things.“I was thinking of selling my furniture. Flynn offered a hand.” I answered.Flynn was on his month-long vacation. His cousin, a member of Costa Galaxia, lent him the unit where he stayed for a while.Dasha knew that I already withdrew my membership here. There’s no reason for me to stay anyway. I was just here until her wedding day.“Good to know that you were making yourself busy.” Dasha smiled at me.There’s no need for words. I know she felt pity for me. And I wouldn't say I like it. I don’t want to get that kind of look. I'll still live. I just broke my heart many times, but I wi
GIAN “SO, you’re here again, Gian.” Josh sighed as he saw me entering the command department. It’s been two weeks, and I was always there. I tour Camille around for the last time. We've been hanging out for two days, and I think I made her happy at least. After that, I decided to stay in the command department so I can monitor Chyna. She seems happy with her boyfriend. And all I can do is to watch her from afar, even if it hurts. I should be that guy. I should be the one who makes her laugh. I should be the one to stay with her. I should be him. I know Josh was getting tired of dealing with me, but he just tolerated me. He has no choice. At least he understands how it feels loving from a distance. I was thinking why Vincent wasn’t kicking me out of Costa Galaxia. I messed again, and that’s his condition. I should be thankful, though. “Where am I supposed to go?” I smirked at Josh. “You sh
