KATE ROSE
I woke up early in the morning and I went immediately to the bedroom of my parents. My father helped my mother to eat her breakfast. I greeted them very well."You have to eat more healthy food for you to recover soon. It'll help you to your cancer," I told my beloved mother who looked at me. She gave me a smile on her face."Thank you so much, Kate Rose," she said. "I really appreciate your words. It gives me hope every time I heard your voice," she added. My father and I exchanged looks."You're always welcome," I said and I brought myself closer to her and hugged her so tight."But where's your friend, huh? Is he awake already?" My mother asked me about him. I shrugged my shoulders before I speak to my mother who's asking for him, "I don't know. Maybe he's still sleeping in the guest room. Why do you ask?" I replied to my mother very politely."Ah, nothing. I just want to know if he's awake now and maybe you could accompany him to the placeKATE ROSEMy heart still beating faster and my cheeks are both blushing after our lips parted moments ago. A lot of people keep on looking at us. I felt ashamed. Dark Louiz captured my left hand and held it very tight while we're walking around the market. He seems proud and really don't care about what other people might think of us, but I was scared because there's possibility that someone who can recognize me might be shocked when they see me with someone who holds my hand and kissed me on my lips earlier. My hands were shaking and I was uncomfortable seeing we're like a real lover. He noticed me, so he didn't hesitate to ask, "What's wrong with you, sweetie?" I looked at his handsome face and analyzed it very well. Then I took a very deep breath before I speak to him who's waiting for my answer."I was scared," I whispered. Dark Louiz narrowed his eyes. "Huh? Are you scared? Why do you feel scared, huh? Aren't you proud of me as your boyfriend?" He asked.I frow
KATE ROSEWe arrived in our house ten minutes before twelve noon. It's so hot outside. He bought an ice cream with mango and ube flavor. My father had finished cooking our lunch. He cooks my favorite adobo. Dark Louiz and I were still full, so we eat around one o'clock in the afternoon. No one speaks while we're eating. We're both silent."Let me help you, sweetie," he said while I was washing the dishes. We're done eating our food. I took a deep breath first before answering him, "No, you can't help me," I refused. "You have to sit down and wait for me to finish washing the dishes, okay?" He furrowed his forehead."But I want to help you, sweetie," he protested and I can see on his face that he wanted to help me wash the dishes, but I don't know if he knows how to wash it.He grew up with housemaids who did everything inside their house every day and it's impossible for him to do any household chores. He has no idea how to wash the dishes perfectly. I raised my
KATE ROSEWe left the house before nine o'clock in the morning going to my friend's house in the other barangay for the fiesta. I informed my parents and they allowed us to go there. I brought an extra-clothes just in case we can't go home in the afternoon. "Why did you bring clothes, sweetie? What comes to your mind, huh?" Dark Louiz asked me while we're waiting for a tricycle to ride going to the other barangay where my friend Karla lives with her family. I looked at his eyes and let out a deep sigh before I speak to him, "Well, I decided to bring clothes just in case we can't able to go home this afternoon, we still have clothes to wear. There'll be an event this evening and I want to see it," I explained.Dark Louiz nodded immediately and speaks to me, "Ah, okay. Now I know why you brought clothes. Thanks for answering me, sweetie." I gave him a smile and he smiled at me too."You're always welcome," I said and he pinched my cheeks and I groaned in happines
KATE ROSE We're all starving when we arrived at the house of our friend Karla. There were lots of foods in the table and it looks like delicious and tasty. Her parents have visitors, so we decided to eat at the other table. "I'm starving, sweetie," he announced. I smiled before I speak to him, "Same with me. Don't worry, we're going to eat. I want to eat lechon," I said."Me too, sweetie. Lechon is my favorite and I couldn't eat without it when there's a celebration," he said. "Oh, really? You couldn't eat without lechon when there's a celebration or social gatherings. I couldn't believe it," I said. He grimaced. "Yes, it's true, sweetie. I love eating lechon." I never knew he loves eating lechon and it's his favorite. Lechon is a roasted pig with crispy skin and juicy meat. It's tasty and you need to provide a delicious sauce for it. But the elders said don't eat more lechon if you don't want to make your blood pressure rise. I don't know if it's true, but I do believe it. "Who w
KATE ROSEHe kissed my lips again and I let him do it and refrained myself to protest. It takes two minutes before our lips parted. "I'll do it for you, sweetie. I'll go back tomorrow and apologize to those women I've hurt before, but when I come back, I could stay with you again and you have no reason to complain anymore," he said, giving me a serious look. I nodded, but has no idea that I won't do it. I'll not let him stay with me again. I'm in love with him and he makes me completely, but he needs to go back to the place where he belongs. Without saying anything to him, I brought myself closer and hugged him very tight. Before we descend the mountain, he picked up guavas and other fruits that can be found there. "You know I love the view here on the top of the mountain. We can see the mountains, trees and other beautiful creations of our almighty God. Birds are chirping everywhere. And I can touch the clouds for you, sweetie," he said. I smiled at him. "It
DARK LOUIZAfter forty-five minutes, I landed safely at the airport. My parents are waiting for me there and they hugged me so tight and I could feel their longing for me. They're both happy when I came back. I told them the reason why I came back here in Manilla while we're on our way home. "Are you sure, huh?" My mom asked me. Her face looks serious. I don't know if they believe in me, but I'm ready to apologize to those women I've hurt before because she wanted me to do it. Even though I don't want to do it, but I want to stay with her again, so I accepted it.Maybe it's my way to move forward and forget about the wrongful things I did before, so I need to apologize to those women I've hurt and I could have a peaceful life and I'll start again with the woman I love who I didn't expect to come into my life. I was so evil before, I hurt a lot of women, but I was so blessed because of her. She's a blessing for me."Yes. I'm quite sure of it," I said. "Mom, it's
KATE ROSE He gave me a confusing look. "Are you kidding me, sweetie? What do you mean, huh? Please tell me. I'm done apologizing to those women I've hurt before and I was successful in my mission in Manila. They'd forgiven me and I couldn't understand what you're saying to me. What's happening to you, huh? Are you kidding me, huh?" He blurted out. I sighed heavily before I answer him and explain what I wanted to say."No. I'm not kidding you. I'm serious. You need to go back in Manila. You can no longer stay with me here. Please," I replied.His voice was shaking. "Why did you say that to me, huh? I thought you would let me stay here with you. And now you wanted me to go back in Manila and never come back. What's going on your mind, huh? I can't even understand you, sweetie!" He protested at me. "I know it's hard for you to leave me, but you should do it. You should go back in Manila. You don't belong here in our place,'' I said bitterly."Oh, really?! Probably yes. I didn't belong
KATE ROSE"Mama, what do you mean?" I said. My voice was shaking as I replied to my mother. Tears started to run down on my cheeks again. I couldn't hold back my tears. She gasped loudly and then speak to me. "What I really mean is you chose me, but your heart is suffering because I know you love him and you can't let him go easily. You had no choice, right? Because I know what's going on your mind. And instead of choosing him, you chose me. You don't need to choose. It'll destroy you and it's happening to you, darling," she said. I rolled my eyes."Mama, I need to choose you because you need me. You need me and don't say it please. You're more important than him. I can endure the pain of loving him, but to lose you any time that's the only thing I can't endure in my whole life. So don't say it, please. Mama, I can't imagine my life without you. I'll be here for you no matter what will happen to us. I'll not leave you, I'll choose you always. You're my beloved mother," I explained to
DARK LOUIZI felt something different when I saw her months ago. We bumped into each other while I was avoiding someone and she was in a hurry going to her friend Chloe who was crying because of me. We had arguments. I couldn't sleep the night after we'd met. She's on my mind and I don't know why. I hated her face. We hateful each other. She's very disgusting to me. Days had passed, we exchanged more spicy words against each other, but it didn't end. Every time we had seen each other in the university we're always arguing about nonsense things. But it was ended when we agreed with each other. She agreed to be my girlfriend and I'll stop hurting women, so I stopped. Well, it's my plan to make an agreement because I want to know her more and get us closer with each other. It happened successfully with no hesitation between us. I felt glad when she agreed with me and because of the agreement we made, we're always together. We're always eating together. We pretended lovers to the public,
KATE ROSE"Will you be my girlfriend?" Dark Louiz asked me after we ate dinner in an exclusive restaurant. His eyes looked seriously at me. My heart keeps on beating faster. I let out a deep sigh before I start to open my mouth to speak. "Yes!" I answered. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend starting tonight until—" He cut me off. "Forever, sweetie. You'll be my girlfriend and I'll be your boyfriend. I'll marry you someday. I love you, sweetie." I thought he'd kiss my lips, but I was wrong. He hugged me so tight as if there'll be no sun to shine tomorrow morning. I could feel our heartbeats as one. Tears started to come out from my eyes, but it wasn't in pain and loneliness, it's for happiness and contentment. His body was so warm and it feels good. I felt some peace as we hugged each other very tight. "I love you, sweetie," he whispered in my ears. "I love you too, sweetie," I whispered in his ears. "You're my first boyfriend and I want to make it memorable to you. I love you."He smiled.
KATE ROSEChloe wanted to see us after what happened to our friendships before, so I informed my two friends about it. And we gave her a chance to see us the next day. We met at the coffee shop at one o'clock in the afternoon. Dark Louiz accompanied us, but he decided to sit apart from us. He doesn't want to listen to our conversation since he wasn't important here. Chloe apologized to us. She wants us to be together again. We didn't forget her despite of her decision to forget us before. We're always waiting for her to come back with us because we'll embrace her wholeheartedly. She's still our friend. And she will always be part of our circle of friendships."You're always our friend, Chloe. You're always welcome with us. We didn't forget you," Anna said. "We're just waiting for you to come back. But look, you're here with us and you want us to be together again, so we'll accept you again us our beloved friend. You always have a special place in our hearts." "Absolutely right. You'l
KATE ROSE"Okay, bro. We'll go to the police station now. Thank you for informing me," Dark Louiz told his friend Brandon on the other line. Two days had passed since we arrived here in Manila and confessed my feelings for him, but I couldn't believe it'll happen to us. I decided to stay in the house of my auntie alone while she's still in our province, but next week she'll be here with my beloved mother. With the help of Mrs. Elvira Romero, my mother was recommended to continue her chemotherapy treatment here in the private hospital owned by her friend. I'm so thankful because she offered us some help. Auntie Rosa was so happy when she finds out her friend will help us to get cured my beloved mother. I'm really excited to see them. They'd already known what really happened when I arrived here in Manila. I informed them about my confession of my feelings for him and they're happy to hear it from me."Where are we going?" I asked him as he ended their conversation on the other line. We
KATE ROSE"I have feelings for you and you need to know the truth. I'm in love with you, I said, confessing my feelings for him completely. I have no secrets to hide from him. His eyes widened. My heart was pounding. It's my first time to confess my feelings for someone. I didn't confess my feelings for someone before."Oh, really? You love me, sweetie?" Dark Louiz answered. I can see the happiness in his eyes as I confessed my feelings for him. "Yes. I love you," I confirmed. "Are you happy now?" I added. Without saying anything, he hugged me very tightly and kissed my lips for the second time. "Of course, yes. I'll be happy. I love you too, sweetie," he said. "I know you love me and you'll not leave me forever. You'll choose me because you love me. I wasn't wrong, sweetie. But why didn't you keep your feelings for me before? You said you don't love me, but it's a lie from you. And you're in love with me, but you rejected me when I came back in your province," I bit my lower lip an
KATE ROSE"Who are you to touch my boyfriend?! Leave him alone, bitch!" I exclaimed as I approached them. I was confident to face them, especially the man I love. It's unpleasant to see that there's a woman who flirts with him. Dark Louiz and the woman beside him were surprised as they saw me. His eyes got bigger. And he couldn't believe as he saw me in front of him. He blinked his eyes and his mouth remained open."Sweetie?! Kate Rose?!" He mumbled. His eyes are on mine and there's happiness drew on his face. Ignored him first and I focused my attention to the woman who's flirting with him. I raised my eyebrows at the woman."Who are you?! Why are you touching my boyfriend?! Who told you to touch him, huh?!" I snarled at the woman. She glared at me. "What?! You're his girlfriend? Are you sure, huh?!" She snorted."Yes!" I said confidently. She laughed at me. "Why are you laughing?! There's no funny in what I said to you, bitch!" I snarled."Stop calling me bitch! You were not his gi
KATE ROSE "It'll make you happy, so I'll let you go back in Manila and talk to him. He needs you there. He loves you and you love him, too. I want to make you happy, darling," My mother told me while we're in the hospital for her chemotherapy treatment. I made up my mind and I'll go back to Manila and talk to him. Auntie Rosa will be the one who'll take care of my mother while I was in Manila. My father and other sibling are always ready to help her. My two friends accompanied me to the hospital. They're watching at my back."Thank you so much for understanding me, mama," I said in tears. I couldn't believe they'll support me if we become lovers soon. She held my hand and smiled at me. "You're always welcome, darling. You're my daughter and I want you to become happy. Don't waste your time. You need to talk to him before it's too late for you to do anything. But you should always remember that we're always here to support you," she said. I gave her a quick nod before I speak."Thank
KATE ROSEAuntie Rosa cleared her throat before answering me. Her face was still serious while looking at my eyes. But I can't feel no lies to her words and she's telling all the truth to me. I trusted her very much and I have no doubt for her. Maybe she's just confused about what's really happening this time. "I'm not blaming you, Kate Rose. I just want you to know what happens to him after you rejected him. He was heartbroken and hopeless. It's a painful moment for him and even now he can't accept it easily. When you rejected him, he always drinks in different bars and his parents are worried for him. He's always drunk when he come home. He's even driving his car while he's drunk and it's not good for him to do it, right? It's dangerous driving a car when you're drunk and it'll lead to an accident. No one is wishing to get in an accident. His parents can't do anything, but let him do it because he'll get mad and threatened his parents to kill his own life if they mind his life. His
DARK LOUIZ"Bro! What's happening to you?! You should stop drinking! We should drive you home because you can't able to drive, you're already drunk. We can't let you drive your car while you're drunk,'' Brandon said. "Please listen to us. We cared for you, bro."I put the bottle of whiskey first before I answered my friend. I felt dizzy, but I gave him a look of disgust. I don't want to see their faces right now. I need to be alone."I can drive my car, bro. Don't say I can't drive my car because it's not true. I'm drunk, but I can drive home. Thanks for your concern, bro," I said in a sarcastic way. He grimaced bitterly. Brandon didn't speak next, instead Niccolo speaks to me, "Bro, we're only concern for you. Don't be stubborn, please. We're friends and we can't let you drive your car while you're drunk," he said. "I said I wasn't drunk! Can't you understand me, huh?!" I snarled at them. My blood heated up because they keep on convincing me to drive home. I was drunk, but I can dri
