Gavin’s POV
When 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
Rebecca's POVGavin did what he planned. The next day is Friday. We had a class at 9:00 AM but he's an hour earlier. He smiled as he gave me another stem of red rose. I couldn't help but smile. I prepared breakfast before seven in the morning. I invited him over to share what I prepared for breakfast. It's coffee and some bagels. I also prepared fried chicken and some nuggets.He was so happy that he wished he could always do it. However, I didn't allow it for personal reasons. I am thankful that he didn't insist and he respected me for that. The next day, I got up early and did my usual morning routine. I went outside the house to breathe some fresh air. From the time mom died, this is the time I get to appreciate what I see around me. Although I wan
Rebecca's POVI ate quietly while he did the same. Well, this guy seemed to impress me a bit. Did he just follow what I told him? To shut up, like literally?We spent the next three minutes minding our own meal. Although, I am catching Gavin glancing at me from time to time."Am I annoying?" He asked out of nowhere. He didn't even look at me while he asked that. I observed his reaction and I don't like him for being serious.For me, he's a totally different person if he does that.
Rebecca's POV"Where are we going?""You'll know in a little while." He started driving the car. I looked around as we headed downtown. His car stopped beside the street where there was an array of flowers displayed in front of that part of the street. We both went out of the car. Gavin went inside the flower shop where flowers bloom the most. I saw him buying white and red roses."What are these for?" I held the bouquet of roses with alternate white and red colors while he paid them at the cashier. He pushed the door open for me to go out first. He closed the door slowly and the wind chime sounded as if to tell us to come again the next time.
