Rebecca’s POV
“You know what, if you keep on asking me about Gavin, then maybe the two of you should talk.”
“I really don’t like the way you respond, Rebecca.”
“Why? I’m busy and whenever you’re calling me, you want us to talk about him. I don’t understand what you really wanted to do.” I can’t help but to hold my forehead. Sheira is getting weird and I am also starting to hate Gavin for real because of what he’s doing to me.
“Alright, alright. I’m sorry for being insensitive. How’s your day?”
“Not good, thanks.” I replied right away that I coul
Rebecca's POV(Flashback, five hours before Sheira called)I caught him staring at me like he badly wanted to know what is happening to me already."Look, I'm not really used to seeing you this quiet.""What?" I faked a chuckle as I faced him."It's like you never wanted to talk to me or something like that.""I am not in the mood for anything. Can't you just understand that?"
Rebecca's POV“Hey girl, I missed you so much!” Here comes Sheira and her being clingy times three to me. I chuckled as I greeted her the same way.“You have to stay focused on studying well so that you can go home right away and you will not be missing me that much. It’s creeping me out.”“I am right now, don’t worry. You’re my inspiration as I write some of my notes.”“Am I looking like your notes? You’re too silly.”“Yeah. They’re like your lovely freckles. I can’t help but to study more because of it.”“Why are my freckles bothering you? I’m not even bother
Gavin’s POVWhen I’m finally done driving Francine to her apartment, I was so excited to get to Rebecca’s residence that I sped up a little. I am imagining what she would look like if she will receive those flowers from me.I can still remember the last time she was able to receive flowers from the previous month. It was when I prepared a date for her together with her late mom.I was never in her shoe but I can somehow feel what she felt when she lost her only confidant and best friend above all. I know no one could ever fill the gap her mom left inside her heart. Even if she had moved on already. I know she's still hurting. I want to give her comf
Rebecca’s POVI opened the window of my door and it was a surprise for me that Gavin’s car is still outside the house. Is he really nuts? What is he doing all night long? Did he spend the whole night waiting for a miracle?It was my fault because I also did assume that he will just leave because all the doors were already locked. But, what happened was the least that I am expecting, for real.I noticed him looking at me from inside of his car. He was able to go outside real quick and stood in front of me with pleading eyes. He stood there, not moving a muscle but I can see the way his eyes looked at me."What do you think you're doing?""Doing my job?" He said, looking weary as ever. I guess he felt frustrated three times as what I am feeling right now.I am aware that I indeed treat him like this all of a sudden but can he blame me? He's being a real-time jerk and I hate it when it happens.At the same time, I hate his acti
Rebecca's POVI'm scared a little but not too much. I know I am in the right track. I was so disappointed the other day but thankfully, I am grateful for today's commendation coming from our employer. I never expected that little efforts count for her.What she did tonight was the last thing I am expecting from an employer to treat me. I guess it looked a little too much but I am celebrating deep inside."Thank you so much, ma'am. It means so much to me." I smiled as she shook hands with me. She also smiled back, looking so pleased of my reaction too."Well, I knew it from the very beginning.""Ma'am, I didn't understand what you mean," I still manage to s
Rebecca's POVI looked around and I could see a lot of my classmates giving me that weird look. I also spotted Gavin on the other corner gazing at me from afar. There were a lot of them in groups and they were able to gather around just to get the hottest topic they might ever find for that day.As for Gavin, good thing he followed what I have told him to do. He never dared bother me anymore ever since last night."Wow, what's this scene? A lover's quarrel?""It's weird that I can't see both of them sweet. What happened?" Some of my classmates tried their best to keep quiet as they gossip a lot but I could hear them very well.I shrugged it off. I simply ga
Rebecca’s POVI went home with no choice, like literally! I really hate it when I am feeling busted as ever!I hate to see him following me as we go back to the previous set-up. It’s as if I don’t have any choice left for myself.After a series of arguments, we came up with a better plan: I will drive my own car while he will just follow me. I think it will be better that way. I don’t want to smell his scent whatsoever or be conscious to see him again near me.I quietly got out of the car while he followed me from behind. I glanced at him and I noticed that he’s trying to look around as if observing the whole place if someone is st
Rebecca’s POVWhat do they mean by these numbers? 6578… I kept on thinking about where I saw these numbers when I remembered mom is keeping a medium cash box in her room. I tiptoed as I went outside my room. I went to my mom’s room right away to check if that vault still exists.I opened her cabinets and drawers and I couldn’t find what I was looking for. I looked at the corners and I was able to step on the line that led me to look under her bed.I spotted the gray cash box that I am looking for. It has a combination lock but I didn’t know what it is because I was not interested in its contents until recently. I pulled the dusty cash box from the innermost part of her bed with my
“What’s wrong? Is everything alright?” Gavin suddenly asked when her facial reaction changed a bit. She smiled again to hide what she recalled.“Yeah. Of course, everything is okay.” She said as she nodded.“Alright, then.” As Gavin put her backpack on his shoulders,he held her hand that didn't carry anything. It made Rebecca’s heart beat fast once more. It is only Gavin that could make her feel like this.They went inside the car and Gavin could really feel Rebecca being overjoyed with the whole idea. He was driving his car while she’s enjoying the random music he’s playing.
She was the one who insisted on placing Gavin in the picture. My goodness! Even if she's far from me, she never failed to disappoint me sometimes."I guess we'll be having a lot of leftovers." I said and he nodded right away."Yup. We can eat them later, right?""We?" I asked him back."I will still go with you until dinner time. Remember that I am your guardian angel now.""No you're not. You're more than my ultimate stalker." He laughed as a response. For him, th
“It was a mistake. I admit it.”“What?!”“Goodnight, Gavin.” I ended the call right away before he could put me in his own trap. This is what I hated the most. Being put on the spot that I couldn’t react anymore. I hate this part of me. Trembling, I got the glass of water again and gulped all of its contents in the quickest way possible. A while ago, I was still sleepy but hearing his voice woke up my entire senses. Now, I really hate his effect on me. He’s like a drug I’m slowly getting addicted to. I can’t stop myself from thinking about him. No matter how I tried avoiding him, it’s the thought of him that’s insisting on me.----
“Miss, there were three pending orders waiting for you to serve tables 10, 11 and 12.”“Yes, of course. I will. Thank you!” I heard my fellow co-worker as she passed beside me. She is also serving all the other tables.I tried to smile as I carefully placed the coffee and pastas on the table of the people who ordered them.I really want to enjoy my work without thinking of the rest of what happened last night. It was crazy. I guess I will lose my mind if I continue doing it for always. It was his question that I never saw coming. I was too shocked to even respond. Although I am imagining this situation to happen, it’s a different feeling once you were able to experience it first hand. It’s a totally different feeling of both being anxious, excited and terrified in one.
“Girl, what is the meaning of that? A rekindled passion? Rebecca, you shocked me!” Sheira can’t help but to almost overreact to what she noticed. When she turned her back as she walked forward, she could see Rebecca following her with a sullen look.“Look at you! The party is not even starting but you look drunk and you badly wanted to go home by that expression.” Sheira stopped blabbering when Rebecca looked at her straight in the eyes. She looked annoyed as she took a deep breath.“Look, it’s not the way you think it is, okay? He approached me all of a sudden. What shall I do?”
Rebecca's POVI went home happy. I can't help myself smiling a lot because of what happened today. Also, I noticed that there was no stalker following me ever since I went with miss AC.“You heard me, you’re not deaf.” She said while grinning. Rebecca couldn’t help but swallow. What is the meaning of this? Her heart started to race very fast.Did Sheira see that kissing scene that they shared a while ago?“C’mon! Look at you! You seemed guilty about my joke! Duh! You’re too much!” She said while laughing at her. She poked Sheira’s arm out of frustration. That
Rebecca's POVI honestly couldn't sleep. Being in a new place is driving me insane again. I turned sidewards but it's as if sleep doesn't allow me to do it right away.My phone rang again and when I discovered that it was from Sheira, I am thinking of answering it or not because I am pretty sure she will tell me about what just happened. The allies strike again. I'm sure Gavin already forwarded to her what I have decided to do."What are you trying to do?" From the onset of the call, her voice was raised high and she's really mad."I am doing a great decision
Rebecca’s POVWhat is she doing here?“Oh,there you are…” Gavin noticed me standing beside him. He still looks worried because he’s also giving his attention to Francine as well."What happened?" I simply asked him out of being curious.""She called me and she was so drunk and wasted. I can never drop her between the road so I brought her here for the meantime.""Wow, I never thought this would be a reunion?" I told him with sarcasm. He looked confused as she shifted his gaze to me and Francine. What he said really heightened what I feel right now. A little bit of irritation and a whole lot of frustration in one."It is not what you think it is, okay? This is an emergency situation."I sighed and slowly went back to the guest room and I started to pack my bags again. I guess it is not better for me to stay here anymore since the house is too crowded for me. With Francine and me here in one roof, I
Rebecca’s POVI glanced at the wall clock and it was already past nine in the evening. I haven’t seen Gavin’s car driving inside their garage yet. I already finished my dinner at eight in the evening. I also took a quick glance at my phone but I also didn’t receive any message coming from him yet. Everything got boring when I finally decided to just stay in the guest room that is now my temporary room.I looked through the window and I can see the wide lawn from the ground floor. Still no sign of him that’s arriving anytime. I can’t help but to assume things again. I really hate it when it will strike me. I can’t help but to overthink things that are not even necessary at this point of time. I am starting to hate myself.A ring on my
