“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.
Rebecca's POV"Rebecca..."Her voice can be heard from the other room. That sweet, reassuring voice I'd love waking up to. That was exactly seven in the morning. I slowly opened my eyes, blink it slowly as I looked around. The sun's rays are already reflecting through my window. It's a perfect, sunny day to start with."What do we have for breakfast?" I yawned and smiled. As soon as I smelled a familiar scent, I excitedly went to the dining table just near my room. "Good morning, honey." My mom said as I met his gaze. Her smile is as sweet as the aroma of cinnamon rolls and some brewed coffee made by my mom."Whoah, is that cinnamon?""Of course. Just the way you want it, honey." On a separate plate, I had a piece of cinnamon rolls and a glass of milk for me, she loved coffee on the other hand.
Rebecca's POVI am driving along the coastal road ten meters away from our house. I always miss home after my mother's loss. I don't know how to start all over again. I can describe myself as a total mess without any direction to go.It's been months since I last visited this lonely road. I thought I'll never pass this way again but today, I found myself going back. Weird though, I don't even understand the reason why.A lot of things are messing in my mind right now, including the thoughts pursuing my dreams of becoming a successful lawyer in the future. I want to fight for her...protect her from someone who wanted to harm or even hurt her someday. I can't believe that my goals will only be a dream and will stay as it is, now that she's gone.The road seemed to be an endless way whenever I look forward. I glanced at the rear mirror of my car and I could see the scenery of the ocean. It was already
Gavin's POV"Looking for these?" I grinned, trying to tease her. I want to see her reaction after I saw that she's looking for her car keys like crazy. I can see that she's restless inside the car. I smiled and observed what she'll gonna do next.When she glanced beside her from where I am standing, she was shocked. I held out a chuckle. Man, I can't help it. Her reaction is priceless."Yes, can I have my keys please..." She looked at me as if she was never impressed with a guy before. She even folded her arms. Now, she's giving me a blank look that I find really weird. It's like a punch on my ego.When was the last time I was treated like this?This is not the usual treatment I get from girls. From what I used to know, they easily get so attracted to me with just a glimpse of an eye. I can see that she's simply different from them. Her reaction from the way she stared an
My feet brought me to the second floor. I decided to sleep inside my mom's room. I can still smell her scent everywhere. I don't want to touch her things and everything she owns in the basement. I want to feel her as if she's just sleeping beside me. I know I can be comforted by the warmth of her bed if I will do it. Laying down here feels like she is still hugging me even if her physical presence is gone already.I slowly got up and walk towards the window like I used to do when mom is still around. We used to appreciate the leaves slowly falling off the trees around the house. We even laughed at the sight of squirrels chasing each other for wallnuts that's scattered around the vicinity. All those simple things we're both happy about. It is a painful to know that my life will never be the same again without her.My knees started to lose its strength that I can't help but to lean on the window pane. Instead of bringing back good, old memo
Sheira's POVWhen I stepped into the house, I can feel the sadness that is seeping my senses.I pitied Rebecca. I understand her being miserable and I respect the coping mechanism she's showing. I always consider her for being a strong person and a trusted friend. I love her for being an "encourager" ever since I first met her. How it broke my heart to see her the first time being helpless and sad for the longest time. The drastic change happened after that car accident that caused the death of her mom.The silence is really deafening. When I twisted the doorknob, its obviously being left unlocked because she's expecting me to come any time. I can say she's probably sleeping inside her mother's room again, tired and exhausted about everything.I put two boxes of pizza on the dining table which is located just in front of her mom's room. When I look at her mom's room, she's standing in front of me.
"I'm glad you can still remember me." He grinned."Gavin, right?" I said in a straightforward manner. His smile widened as I say his name again.Why of course? Who can't remember someone who almost stole my car keys.His gaze is melting me deep down. Why am I having this kind of feeling every time I look into his eyes? I guess he's feeling happy because I can still remember him.“Yes, baby girl. The one and only…” He said as if we’re so close to each other. I just look at him. I honestly don’t know what to react. Of all the people that I will meet tonight, here in this place, why him?Baby girl? He's totally out of his mind."Will you tell me your name this time?" He politely offered one of his hand as if he wants to shake hands with me. Sheira's shoulder touched mine as she whispers, asking me who is the man I am talking with. She's not letting her gaze off Gavin, too.
"What?""You heard me, right? Or would you like me to say it again for you?"
"Hi, Rebecca Dale." A lot of their classmates giggled as he called her full name. She blushed in an instant because of the attention he's giving her.She must admit then, that she didn't see it coming."Wow, girl, you already knew our transferee?" One of her curious seatmates asked her as she poked her arm. She just held her affected arm as she glared at her classmate who grinned at her maliciously.She didn't like it! Of all people she'll have to see, why should it be him?"Nope. Don't mind him.""Ouch, you're hurting my feelings baby girl." He said it boldly that made the whole class wild."Class, enough. Go back to your seats becaus
“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
