Rejection and YOU Chapter 17
Denver faked a cough to break the tension. He knew I was doomed because of my behavior. Well, I acted that way because he irritate me to the core. "Miss Vera, sorry I came early than our scheduled meeting," He spoke naturally and the look on Miss Vera's face changed to a bit calm. That answered my question about why he was in the factory. I got puzzled as to why Miss Vera did not mention to me their arrangement for the day. "Mr. Ford, it's alright. If you only informed me you arrived early, I should have come sooner," She paced passing in front of me while I stayed on my post biting my lip in perturbation before turning around to face them. I knew I was so messed up and Miss Vera won't let it pass. "No problem, Miss Vera. Thanks to Miss Ciara for answering my queries. I guess I pissed her off because some of my questions are nonsense," he said to cover up my discourteousness towards him. Well, he was the one to blame. "Even so Mr. Ford, Miss Ciara shouldn't snap at you," She apol

I went home after spending two hours in the children's care. Somehow, my emotion lightened and I knew that Catie had a huge part in it. My mind and heart were still in chaos about adopting her because honestly, I think I'm not ready. I was in my room packing some stuff because I'm flying to a neighboring country the next day. I booked a ticket for a three-day vacation alone to Cancun as I badly needed to breathe fresh air away from the hustle of my everyday life in Harrisburg. They say that traveling alone is fun for the reasons that you can plan or adjust your trip however you want it as well as improve your confidence. I only wrapped a hand-carry suitcase because I didn't want a lot of things to bring. Truth be told, it would be my first trip to the beach, and I felt excited about it. I'd been to Mexico for an educational trip in their city center before I graduated from University, but traveling for leisure is totally different. I had a hint that I'll enjoy it this time. "I hea

I flickered a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I couldn't be mistaken and I verified it with my very own eyes. My heart raced faster like a horse in a race and couldn't believe he was staying next to my room. "What is he doing here?" I uttered perplexedly. And of all the rooms available on the premises, we were next to each other. Absurd.I wanted to think that he was following me but I didn't want to assume. I had no right to accuse him because he could go wherever he wished to. "What if he's around for business errands? Or just to enjoy his time for vacation, too?" I'm just nonplussed to see him in the same resort where I was and I couldn't confirm either if it was a coincidence. I lay down, feeling the comfort of the queen-size bed, but still, I was mystified. My mind was filled with the thoughts of Denver and I didn't know what to say if ever our paths crossed around the resort. I left the City to ease my mind and heart away from restlessness but here he was next to my

I couldn't ever forget Denver's face that moment I left him in the restaurant. It had been hours but I could still remember it vividly. It bothered me to the core. I didn't know if I was on the right track because I told myself to throw out Denver from my system but I felt dense. I promised not to get affected by his presence but it was the other way around. As a matter of fact, the jealousy I endured because of Meadow was making me crazy. Why? He confessed that he still love me and wanted us back together but I only find it funny. How dare he say that to me when she got another woman beside him? "Is he playing games with me? Did the agony I felt because of him not enough? I twisted my lips in annoyance. It confused me at what was the real score between the two of them. They were close together and it irked me that they looked like a match made in heaven. "Why does Denver keep on pestering me if he got her around? What is he trying to do?" I hissed. Denver broke and ripped me into

Under the shower, I couldn't help but think about the man from the door next to me. We arrived at the hotel on the same day and it puzzled me about the reason why he transferred his suite. Also, it bothered me that Denver and Meadow left in a rush. I couldn't hold to wonder if Meadow got an emergency. I didn't know but a portion of my heart was sad about their sudden departure. Honestly, it should ease my system but I couldn't decipher why I'm feeling that way. I shouldn't get bothered anymore because they couldn't wake my agitation around their presence, but it felt the other way around. It stirred my rational thoughts and emotions. Right after I was changed into a floral string dress with a length right above my knee, I prepped for my dinner downstairs. Since I wasn't that famished yet, I got ready at my own pace. I even applied a lotion to my skin and thankfully, no sign of sunburn could be noticed. Well, it wasn't sunny when I soaked my body on the beach so it was impossible to g

Denver knitted his brows and stared at me with questioning eyes like he realized what I was trying to say. He propped his elbows on the table and laced his fidgety fingers against each other followed by heavy breathing. "Ara, you know her. We've known each other since our university days. You are aware of that, right? Everything between us is all about business," he made it clear and I felt restless hearing it from him. I kept on listening because my emotion exhausts my energy to the edge that I couldn't respond. "As soon as I settled with my goals in Seattle, I worked hard to push and build my business here in Harrisburg because of you. Only because of you!" he expressed with certainty. I felt like my system got paralyzed as his words penetrated my heart. He shook his head. "Meadow isn't the woman who made me fall in love," he said soberly. My lips parted. I felt like we were talking for like eternity. "Baby, after everything that happened, I still can't make myself unlove you. Y

I didn't know for how long I was in deep thought when I realized that Denver was sitting a seat away from me. Thank goodness there was one more seat that separates us. It was crazy to think that he was at the same resort where I chose to spend my leisure time, he left the hotel on the same day that I did, and we had the same flight. My gut feeling was telling me he did it purposely, but I saw him dealing with his business the entire time, too. Dense!The flight felt extraordinary because I experienced the best services the business class could offer. I was served wine, savory foods, and even dessert. I never once imagined being in the luxurious seat but it already happened.Denver asked me a few times if I need anything but I assured him that I'm fine. Well, I refused him every time because I didn't want us to talk for long. Actually, he was on the edge of winning my heart again, and that I'm scared about. However, I had no plans of showing hints to him yet.When the aircraft landed s

Because of so much exhaustion, I wasn't able to unpack my stuff from my suitcase. Seemed my energy and emotion were congested because of Denver. I couldn't believe he went to that measure. I meant, hired someone to follow me around? Absurd. I flopped on my bed with a heavy feeling and prayed that sleep would knock me down in a breath. I wanted to free myself from disappointments even for a night. I was hoping I won't dream of him in my slumber. Gladly, I was very tired from the flight that the heavens heard what I'm asking for. The next morning, I woke up early and prepped to go to the children's care. I needed to let out my emotional distress and as always, the kids could really make me better. As I checked my mobile device, no piece of any message was received from Denver. I bet he was hit hard by my words the previous day. As soon as I stepped inside the institution, "Hi Ara, we missed you here! How's your vacation?" Mrs. Victoria was joyous at the sight of me. I told her that I

I succeeded in inviting Ciara to dinner and had the chance to talk about us. I got to say those things I hid inside my heart for a long time. Although it wasn't as easy as I expected for her to grasp my reasons, I tried my luck to make her understand. Unfortunately, she was resolute about her decision not to get us back together. However, giving us up wasn't included in my options. Not that I could sense she was gradually losing her guard against me. Unlike the first few weeks of seeking her attention, I could tell she was getting more amicable toward me. Traveling from Cancun back to Harrisburg went smoothly. I offered to send her home after the rain poured unexpectedly and at that moment she agreed, I thought it was a good sign for the two of us. Unluckily, after being careless, it only ended to be the worst. She discovered I got someone around to get her followed and that made her infuriated. I did my best to justify my basis yet it only went into nothing. Rationalizing my action w

As soon as I got back to Seattle, I resumed the business launching with Mr. Barnes. In a short period of time, it was a hit. Competitors were astounded by the newest innovation from One Guard Electronic System. Clients and business associates lined up to get our services. In a span of a year, after introducing the design I uniquely created, it gave so much benefit to the company. Mr. Barnes's riches tripled just like that."Mr. Barnes, I'm ready to build my own company in Harrisburg," I discussed my plan with him. I negotiated it before we started the debarkation of the design in Seattle and I told him it was time for me to go back to my State. I was able to help him to reach the top of the industry and I believed, it was enough for him to let me go.With thorough deliberation, we ended up with a discreet decision. As he was hesitant to totally omit me from his company, he suggested building my own in Harrisburg yet we would be still connected with each other. My business would be in

DENVER's POVEverything between us seemed perfect and we were contented around each other until my near graduation. Mr. Parker laid out opportunities for me from different companies and their offerings were tremendously enticing. I was overwhelmed and it was hard to choose from the list. Mr. Parker was the reason why I got so many proposals to pick from because I was really eyed for my potential. As we discussed the best company that could give me the fastest growth, One Guard Electronics Systems caught my attention. As I read their company profile and the main concept of the business, I was triggered to be part of the team. Their structure was what I'm looking for. However, it wasn't as simple as I thought. It would be in Seattle and it was a home program. I would be away for around 2 to 4 years depending on how rapidly we could program the possible security system device project for every household. The company was aiming to create the most innovative program and be number 1 in th

DENVER'S POV When I went to college, it was just a typical apartment and campus daily routine. I was keen to finish my course on top because I believed I'm capable of it. I swore to just focus on my studies and avoid vices that could be a distraction along the way. Among those were partying, smoking, drugs, and women. I had my goals and timeline of everything that I wanted in life. I'm very particular with my plans as well as utilizing my full potential in my chosen field. I only had a few friends while at the University. I couldn't say they were my best friends because I didn't want to get close to anyone around. I was very occupied with my lessons and I used to be alone just to review and ace my exams. Yet sometimes, even if we do things in our own ways and how much we try to stay away from all the diversions we set for ourselves, there will always be something to occur beyond our control. One afternoon, I was sitting under a gigantic tree trying to solve a calculus problem whe

"Baby, relax! Let's get you to the hospital," Denver was trying to calm me down yet he was looking more freaked out knowing I was going to give birth. I held onto him because the pain was increasing and the contraction did not subside. "Mommy, what is going on?" Catie was frightened seeing us panic-stricken. Mindy grabbed her hand and told her to stay away from us because the baby is coming very soon. Denver called Alfie and in haste, the car was in front of our house. Gladly, we were able to collect all the necessary stuff in preparation for my delivery and readied it in the compartment of the vehicle. Truth be told, we organized everything a month before my expected due date. As soon as Denver settled me in the back seat, we left the house in a hurry. Inside the labor room, the nurses were very accommodating. I felt like my energy got drained because of the pain. I was all sweaty while Denver kept on caressing my back. The pity and worry mixed up and it was clearly printed on h

Meadow organized a baby shower party a week before my expected delivery date. She decorated one of our living rooms into a party event space. When I was called by Lea to go downstairs, my lips parted at how beautifully embellished our place was. Unaccountable blue balloons were hanging everywhere and bags of presents were gathered on a table near the improvised platform."This is too much, Meadow," I was still in awe. She pulled me towards the center before she motioned for Iris to start the program. The two of them prepared a few games that we enjoyed so much as well as delicious food to gobble on. Well of course, with the help of Mindy. The cupcakes were so enticing that I got to eat two pieces in a row.Honestly, it was only an intimate party because we only got those we used to have around the house every day. After opening all the gifts they prepared for the baby, Catie presented to sing for me and for her little brother. We all gathered to listen to her and it was a wonderful of

My Dearest Ciara,I know that a million apologies can't suffice for the unfair treatment I have done to you. It was improper to leave you and your Mom. Even if I got the chance to explain everything to you, you wouldn't understand my reasons. I ain't a perfect father to you and far from being one because I'm covered with flaws and faults. I inflicted so much pain in your heart and I can't blame you for the hatred you possessed for me. I'm not expecting your forgiveness but I just want you to know that I feel very sorry for everything I have done. I'm very proud of what you have become. You are strong and you deserve the happiness the almighty is pouring onto you and your family. We don't deserve any help from you but you chose to still deliver kindness in return. Maybe whatever is happening to me and my family is a retribution for all my sins. I was so selfish way back for following my happiness which caused you and your mom to suffer from the pain and hardships moving forward.

"Calm down! It's Brie telling me she bought a luxury bag online," Iris spoke vaguely. My brows crinkled at why she overreacted to Brie buying a bag. She was exaggerated as always. "What's with the bag?" Meadow couldn't get it too. "Guess who was the seller?" Iris asked and we couldn't think of someone. Honestly, we were not fond of buying luxuries online. Not sure about Meadow but as far as I knew she used to visit and see the items firsthand before acquiring them. "It's the bitch, Olga!" she exposed that Olga sold the handbag for a meager price. Meadow and I stared at each other in disbelief. "Are you sure?" Meadow asked her one more time. Even I couldn't believe that Olga went to the extent of selling her valuable possession. It was an attestation that she is running out of money for her bills and everyday expenses. "Karma is real," Iris muttered although we did not wish Olga to suffer such misery. "Alright, enough of her. Let's go get some food, I'm hungry," I complained bec

Felt like my heart was ripping into pieces to see my friend at a total loss sitting outside of the hospital morgue. She was covered in sorrow and in despair. If only she could hand over some of the pain she was dealing with in her heart, I would be glad to carry it just to lessen its heaviness. "Iris, please know that we are here for you." I consoled her cautiously because I knew she only have her mother left when her Dad passed away. And now that the most important human being in her life was gone, the devastation engulfed her entire system. I could absolutely feel the heartache because I experienced being left alone by my parents. Although our situation was different, the throbbing of our hearts did not vary. "Where is Mason?" I asked and she told me he was talking to one of the hospital staff about the arrangement of her Mom's discharge. Mason offered to settle everything because he knew Iris was mentally and emotionally wrecked. "Condolences, Iris," Denver offered his sympathy
