I felt a little sorry for what I witnessed, my heart softened a little as I looked at the pitiful state of kuya guy. I don't know why I felt sorry for him, but maybe it's because I once experienced being in his position.The only difference is that it wasn't my boyfriend who caused me to be in that position before, but my mother.I still remember that I was in the same position before, while looking at the police car that my mother was riding in. I begged them to return my mother to me until I was completely overwhelmed by the asthma. I had asthma attack.That scene is still fresh in my memory until now. I don't know why, but maybe because it was the first time I felt completely broken. It was the first time I got hurt.The rain poured harder, and I felt more sorry for him. He was drenched, and I noticed her trembling, a sign that he was really cold.I heaved a sigh before saying, "Whatever," and I followed Kuya Guy's lead to invite him to take shelter. He was already shivering.As so
I was startled from my standing position and returned to my senses after feeling a tap on my shoulder and hearing those words whispered in my ear.I snapped out of my deep thoughts after hearing the question. I looked ahead of me and remembered Thunder and his car.But I didn't expect that my shoulders would drop so suddenly when I saw that they were no longer there. A sign that they had already left.I didn't expect that I was so lost in thought earlier that I didn't even notice his departure. It's sad because I didn't even have the chance to thank him for giving me a ride and for my inconvenience.While we were talking earlier, the rain had stopped, and when I checked my watch, my eyes widened because I was already running late for work. So I quickly said my goodbyes and headed in the direction of the coffee shop where I work.But before I could even leave, I felt him grab my hand and asked where I was going and why I seemed to be in a hurry. When I answered his question, he insiste
I stopped from taking off my polo shirt when I felt his arms around me from behind and heard him say those words."You dumbass! Close your fucking eyes!" he angrily exclaimed to the man in front of us - the man I had a collision with.The man in front of me turned pale and panicked upon hearing what the man behind me said. He quickly closed his eyes and hurriedly turned away from me out of fear."Where's the restroom?!" he angrily asked.I saw how my colleagues in the cafe panicked because of his question.Eventually, they pointed him to a specific location where the restroom was located."That way, sir," confidently said Hill, one of my colleagues and a friend.He had the courage to say those words, but his voice still trembled. Perhaps he was scared of the man's aura and intensity, which was already intimidating just from his voice alone. I wondered how my colleagues felt, as they could also sense his anger.The man released his arms from around me, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a minute has passed since he returned to my side after opening the main door of the CR. I don't know how he talked to Hill and why he was able to come back here so quickly, but one thing I am sure of is that he slammed the door shut.The impact of the door closing was so strong that I could hear it from here."Are you done?!" he exclaimed.I straightened up upon hearing his voice and he even knocked on the cubicle door where I was."Not yet," I replied to his question, even though the truth was that I had just finished putting water on my chest.I was scared, so I lied to him. I was afraid of what he might do to me when I come out of that door. I was especially afraid because I could feel his annoyance at this moment.I don't know why he's annoyed, but maybe it's because I've been inside the CR for a long time and he's been waiting outside for a while.From inside, I could hear him taking deep breaths, as if he was trying to extend his presence."Do you really think that you can
I was left staring, while looking at his red lips that just took my first and second kiss moments ago.I was truly stunned and it felt like I lost myself when he kissed me. I don't know why he did that. Why did he kiss me? Why did he mess with my mind? I don't know! I don't have any idea and it seems like this will be the reason for my insanity.I felt like I lost myself after he kissed me, like my spirit left my body because of what he said. I don't know how to react. I don't know what to do. Should I slap him because he just stole my first kiss? Should I kill him because he wasn't satisfied with the first kiss and went for the second one? Or should I curse him loudly and badly? I don't know! I don't know what to do and how to react.Should I be angry with him or not? But there's only one thing that's clear in my mind and that's why did he kiss me? Why did he kiss my lips?I found myself holding my lips because of that thought. It's been a minute since our lips touched, but I'm still
THAT WAS a long and tiring night.Those were the only words I could remember from last night.It was a long and tiring day because my manager scolded me as soon as I entered the kitchen. He said I was late and made a scene. The words Sir Manager threw at me last night were quite hurtful, but it's okay. I can handle it. It was my fault anyway, so there's nothing to worry about.After Hill's pep talk last night, we immediately went back to the kitchen to help out, but instead of being able to help right away, I was greeted by Sir Manager's harsh words. He scolded me first before letting me work.During the few hours that I worked last night, I was busy, so I didn't have the chance to ask punyemas the questions I wanted to ask. I was so busy last night that I didn't even notice it leave the cafe. I didn't even see its shadow after it left the restroom, how much more when it left?The cafe was swamped last night because it was raining, and whenever it rains, you can expect customers to fl
I was already wearing my uniform as I came out of the bathroom and headed to the car wash.I immediately approached Kuya Noel to ask him what to do. I had forgotten because it had been a year since I last worked here.He taught me what to do, and I was grateful. I didn't know why he was the only one here and why he hadn't tried to hire someone else, considering how busy his car wash was. He had a lot of customers, and sometimes it was so crowded because this was the only car wash in the area.I wondered why he hadn't hired permanent staff for his car wash. "Kuya Noel, why don't you hire permanent staff for your car wash?" I asked him, unable to control my tongue, "Especially since your car wash is so busy?" I added.He looked up at me and said, "Sometimes your Kuya Silva helps out, so I didn't bother looking for staff."I nodded my head. Ahh... now I understood. Kuya Silva was his only son who liked to tease me.After Kuya Noel taught me the basic steps on how to clean a car, I immedi
I dropped my shoulders and put the tools down in the bucket after cleaning the car. I turned off the hose and walked towards their direction, still with my head down.Even if I wasn't looking, I knew that Kuya Noel was staring at me intently. I could feel it, the way he gazed at me sharply.My knees trembled from the intense gaze, but I remained steadfast because Kuya Noel might wonder why I was acting strangely.I went towards the back of the garage, where their big house was. Only Kuya Noel and Silva lived there, as they were separated because Kuya Noel used to hurt her for an unknown reason."Who's that, Tito? Is she a new worker?" I heard Punyemas ask. Her questions shook me to the core. Why did she ask who I was when she already knew my name? He even kissed me, and I saw him with another girl. How could he pretend not to know me? What's wrong with him?Wait, why was I feeling hurt because of this? Damn."Oh, that's Marra. She's doing a part-time job for me this sem break to earn
I feel a nostalgic feeling of being here again. Watching the moon while kissing the sea is such a magnificent feeling, and the cold yet fresh air is so refreshing to breathe. All of this is making me want to experience it again and again. How much I love nature."Beautiful, isn't it?" he asked, and I nodded silently.Yes, it is so beautiful. I handed him my helmet after I took it off, and he accepted it.It's my second time here, yet I feel like it's my first. The feeling of being so in love with nature.It's our second visit here, and I hope this time won't end up like the first one. I hope tonight won't end up like the last time we were here."Let's go?" he asked, and I nodded.He held my hand, and I didn't expect to feel anything when our hands touched.He was about to walk, but I stopped him and asked, "What's that?" while pointing to the thing he was carrying."This?" he asked, pointing to the thing I was referring to."A blanket."I nodded. Ahh... okay. He held my hand again bef
"Do you know that I've been trying not to poke the eyes of those guys who have been eyeing you since earlier?"After a long silence between us, those words were the first ones he uttered. Those words were the first ones he said. "And did you also know that you really made my dick hard because of what you did earlier, huh?" he added with a question that made me stand up straight. "Are you trying to seduce me? Hmm, honey?"I seemed to have lost myself because of his questions, only to regain my senses when I felt the embarrassment creeping up from my feet to my face. Fortunately, my face was buried in his chest, which is why he couldn't see my blushing face. If he did, I would have probably died of shame."N-No," I stuttered. Obviously, I am lying. For sure, I'll go to hell for lying.He just chuckled, "Really?" he mockingly asked. I nodded, which made him chuckle again."Do you really think that you can fool me, hmm honey?"I swallowed hard several times before nodding. Even though I
Deon whispered to me. He followed my gaze towards the worm I was staring at.I saw with my own two eyes how his eyes widened when we locked eyes. As if he was surprised to see me.I also saw with my own two eyes how his Adam's apple moved up and down repeatedly. A sign that he was swallowing repeatedly upon seeing me.I also saw with my own two eyes how his face lost color as if he was about to faint.He smiled at me and I blushed. Surprised, aren't you? Surprised, sir, aren't you?I raised an eyebrow, which made him swallow hard, and I thought maybe he was afraid of me.Afraid, because I didn't know why he was doing it."Actually, no need," I suddenly said, which caught everyone's attention."What no need?" Deon asked in surprise.I stood up from my seat, and I could see how he looked at me from head to toe. Eventually, his jaw tightened, as if he didn't like my dress. I felt a little hurt, thinking that maybe I was ugly, that maybe this dress didn't suit me, and that's why he didn't
I took a deep breath before answering the daring man who asked me that question. I took a deep breath to control my temper. I might just slap this guy."No," I replied to his question. "I am here because I need to ask him some questions regarding the topic he discussed a while ago in our class," I lied. If there were an award for the best liar, I'm sure I'd get it.I'm good at making up stories and lying. Well, who would've thought I could come up with a story in just a couple of seconds?While I was calming myself down earlier, I made up a story in my head. That's the story I'm going to tell him so he'll stop asking me. He might keep asking if I don't speak up. And who knows what else he might say if I tell him the real reason, so I lied. To avoid more questions."So, you're his student?" he asked, scanning my whole body. I was slightly embarrassed, but I just shrugged it off."Not obvious, huh?" he added after looking me over. I just shook my head. How could he tell I'm a student if
I choked on his question, and eventually looked away from him because I felt something indescribable when I looked at him. Something that I couldn't explain, but my heart started to beat strongly for an unexplainable reason.But one thing I am sure of is that he is so familiar to me. It's like I've seen him before, but I just can't remember when and how. And there's also a certain bond that I feel towards him. A bond that only the two of us can understand.I sighed deeply as I thought about it before turning my attention back to the dance floor to resume my interrupted search.I focused again on the people dancing, hoping that I would finally find the man who I've been looking for since earlier.But in the middle of my search, I was once again interrupted by the person next to me who spoke again, "Are you deaf?" he asked, which made me furrow my brows before turning to him.I gave him a questioning look which he returned with a teasing smile, "You don't want to answer, do you?" he sai
I seductively winked myself in front of the mirror as I put my lipstick on.I happily bit my lower lip with my upper lip so the red would spread. Once satisfied with what I saw, I fixed my messy hair, tying it into a ponytail. I didn't know any other style for my hair, so this was it.It would be great if Candice were here to help me, but she wasn't. She was at her ex-boyfriend's house, trying to get him to take responsibility for something that he did that caused her trouble. She was willing to lower her pride for that guy. It was frustrating.When I was done fixing my hair, I stood up from my seat in front of the mirror. I glanced at my entire body from head to toe, unable to keep myself from smiling at how sexy and daring I looked in my outfit.I never thought that there would come a day when I would wear something like this just to seduce a guy.I was wearing a short crop top that Candice insisted I wear. At first, I protested when I saw it, but she said, "How are you going to sed
I could still feel my knees shaking, and it even got worse as we walked for a few more minutes until we finally saw the ICU the nurse was talking about.Outside the ICU were police officers who were waiting, and I thought they were the ones who brought my mother here and who would guard her.There were also some doctors who were taking care of my mother, and one of them was talking to a police officer who, I thought, had a high rank based on the badge and stars on his uniform."Doc, the victims' relatives are here," the officer said.The two stopped talking when they heard the male nurse who was with us speak. Later, both of them looked towards our direction."How is Mama?" I immediately asked the doctor who was taking care of Mama. I was nervous. I also felt the stinging sensation in my eyes from crying too much.The doctor faced me, "She's fine."I breathed a deep sigh of relief. I felt as if I had just released a thousand thorns that were stuck in my heart."Thank God," I heard my
My classmates cheered when the bell rang, a sign that our last subject in the morning was over, which also made my heart beat faster.Oh my gosh! I'm nervous!When Ma'am said goodbye, my classmates quickly left the room, while I took my time packing my things. I wasn't in a hurry because of the nervousness and excitement I felt. When I finished packing, I quickly slung my bag over my shoulder.I was about to leave, but someone called me."B-es," someone called out to me.I turned to the person who called me, and there I saw Candice standing near the window, holding her cellphone. But what worried me was her facial expression, her entire face turned pale, her lips trembling, a sign that something bad happened."W-what?" I was nervous, but I tried to stay calm."I-t's aunt," she stuttered, tears streaming down her cheeks, which made me even more pale."W-what about aunt?" I was even more nervous now. Earlier, my heart was beating fast, but now it's even faster.Because "aunt" means my m
I let out a deep sigh of relief upon seeing my best friend behind our building. She was sitting on the grass, her face buried in her hands as she cried.I breathed a sigh of relief because I had finally found her after searching for twenty minutes. I felt like I had outdone Nemo's dad in "Finding Nemo" in my search for her.I had gone everywhere looking for her, but she was here all along. It was incredible.Before approaching her, I took another deep breath. I could feel her pain and sorrow earlier, but now it felt even more intense. I could feel it twice as much, especially because of what I had just found out.Earlier, I felt sorry for her because of what she was going through, but now I felt even more sorry for her because of what I had learned.I had discovered that one of her friends had betrayed her. This friend was the long-time girlfriend of her boyfriend's colleague.I didn't need to know all the details because just seeing her earlier, I already knew what was happening - I
