I texted him when I got home last night and I didn't receive a reply from him.
I don't want to call him just to ask why he didn't reply. I am now staring at the picture of Matt and me, in this room. We looked so happy in that picture.
We don't have an idea what life challenges will take us into. I don't even realize that I will be the one who will mistake in this relationship. I didn't see this coming.
Still, he hasn’t called me yet. I waited for his call last night while I was crying myself to sleep. He didn't call me.
I don't want to call him because I am so embarrassed about myself. I can't pretend any more but I don't want to let him go now. Thinking of all the years we have been through.
I don't want to lose him. I don't want to let go of someone who was there when I think I don’t have anyone by my side. When my father left us forever and when my brother chose to
Matt ordered for us. He didn’t ask what I want because he already knows it. I just look at the ambiance of the place. Appreciating the surroundings in every corner of it.“Thank you,” Matt says after the waiter repeats our order.Our eyes met when I look at him. “You are so beautiful, my lady.”My breath hitched when I heard what he calls me. I only know one particular person who used to call me that. Fuck! I closed my eyes and try to calm myself down. When I open it, I saw how worried he is. “Are you sure you are fine? We can go home if you want. I am fine spending the day in your house, babe.”“I am fine, Matt,” I even give him a smile just to let him know that I am fine.“I am sorry for asking you out on a date after you, having some trouble with your work.”I tried to look lively, “Ar
Matt left after our date in the restaurant. Something came up and he needs to be there. The movie date didn't happen and I chose to go home because I am not in the mood for anything. He was sorry about it but I do understand his work and it is more important than me. No hard feelings but he should be focusing on his work. I didn't know what happen to Peter and her date after. After eating desserts, we left and I walked straight, don’t want to land my eyes on something unpleasant. I am just glad that we didn't end up getting caught there. Matt didn't open the door as he respects whoever is inside the powder room. He just called my name for some confirmation that I am inside the powder to tell me that he is in a hurry. Peter was smiling from ear to ear that time when he heard it but I quickly left him to face Matt. Peter somehow annoys me. I know I shouldn’t be feeling what I am feeling but I can’t help it when it was me who he was with the other nights and right now,
Peter didn’t leave me after my response. He would follow me wherever I go. If I will go to the bathroom, he will also come with me. He will always tail me but he won’t say anything. “I have got your request. They are coming here, later,” I heard Johnny say. I just came back from their kitchen because I want to eat something and Johnny told me that I can tell the chef to do it for me. I don’t feel embarrassed walking around, doing anything I want here because we are alone in their big house. Johnny’s parents left to travel overseas. I can only see the maids doing their job, cleaning every corner even if it is already cleaned. Peter glances at me but I didn’t bother to give him sight. “How about you, Tara? You don’t have to go to the bar though. I can give you drinks whatever you like. I am sure you won’t go there to have fun with guys.” It is my time to look at Johnny who is looking at me. He’s been convincing me to stay with them. I am not going to that
It didn’t take a while to give the housemaid what she bought for me. It does fit me but I am uncomfortable wearing it. I don’t have the courage to flaunt my body because I am skinny and not that curvy like the others. “What took you so long there?” Johnny asked. My eyes quickly searched for Peter and I found him in the pool with the girl whom I said stands out clinging to his arm. I looked back at Johnny when Peter was about to turn his gaze at me. “I was just doing some things. Why? You should entertain your guests, Johnny. Don’t worry about me. I can manage myself.” “Someone already entertains them, Tara. You looked so fucking hot in that bikini. Damn.” I know because Peter is already entertaining one of them. “Thank you, John but I am not confident wearing this kind of clothing. Look at your guests, they looked so fine wearing swimsuits.” I was just saying the truth but the jealousy in my voice is consuming me. “You looked so fine, Tara. Do
They left.“Tara! Don’t you want to swim?” Johnny asked me, making the others search for me.I was about to leave the place but now that Johnny shouts my name, I think I can’t escape easily. I saw the look on Lester’s face, it is like he is telling me ‘Told you so’. I looked at Johnny again, he is looking at me, waiting for my answer.“I will, John, later.”He shook his head. He got up from the pool. The water is dripping down from his body to the floor. He smiles at me, a genuine smile like what he always gave me. “Come here, let’s get that robe off of your body,” he said.Extending his hand to me but I didn’t accept it. I don’t like the attention that I am gaining in this scene. I can feel the stares of his guests and I am not wrong when I met their gaze. “Come on. What’s the use of
"Tara! Can you please lower your music? I am studying here. Just so you know."I walked out of that scene and I went all by myself. They tried to stop me but thankfully, there was a cab on the outside that didn't take me long enough to get out of that place. I already told them that I am okay, and I lied that my head hurts and I need to rest for a while. My clothes are wet because I quickly put my clothes on before I walked out."You can study in your room if you want, Jane. Let me have this moment please."She rolled her eyes at me. "Whatever."She picked up all her workbooks and left me. My mom slept already. She sleeps early than usual right now but I just let her because she needs it as well. Right now, I was the one who take her spot along with her music box. My heart is aching but I forced myself to not cry. I chose this and I deserve this pain.
"Peter!" I hissed when he gave me a quick kiss but acted as if nothing happened. He pretended to be asleep and walked back into the couch where he will be sleeping tonight.I can't react to it anymore because I don't want my mother and my sister to know that someone is here with us, and worse is, he is going to sleep here.One looked for him, I went inside my room and locked the door for safety that he will be going to come here and do something not nice to me.After that encounter with Peter, I feel like I had a good sleep. My mind was just worried about him being alone outside, freezing in this cold winter season. I don’t want to cause any trouble for him because I will be the one who will be at fault if ever something will happen to him and I am glad that he was fine. My mind puts at peace after that. What makes me want to throw him again was that quick kiss. I want to kill him but I can't because I know my body likes his kiss as well.This morning, I woke up pretty early than usua
“Can I have this when you two are done listening to this one?” I asked Lena. We are watching the boys while they are discussing the event that they are going to attend. They will perform there and I don't know if they are going to attend to it because their faces don't seem to look pleasant while listening.Lena handed me the album she and her husband listens to every night. It is a podcast about life and I happened to love the title of it. The title attracts me so I want to have it. I know my mom will like this one because these days, she always listens to something like this. This perfectly fits her and I know she will love this piece. She needs to hear this. “We just finished listening to the last episode last night. Do you really want to have it? Are you a fan of listening to the podcast as well?” I shook my head and looked at the cover of the album. The artist knows how to paint something that is not sorrowful to the eyes and heart but inspiring to look at. I like the aesthetic
Tara's Point of ViewI looked at my little angel. A beat skips my heart as he smiles at me. He always touches my heart. His smile makes me smile. His tiny touches touch my soul. I would love to stare at him all day."Why do you have to be this handsome, my baby?" I asked him and he just giggled at me.I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Terrence is the name of our baby boy. He loves to giggle everyday. He got his dad's killer smile. I wonder if he would end up being like his father. Roaming all day and night with different girls by his side. If ever that would happen, then that would be my cause of death.Terrence is still 8 months old yet his built looks matured than normal 8 months old baby. He got his features from his dad and the build of his body. I don't know what he got from me. Each day passes by, I can see Peter's features on him more.It has been a year when Peter take over to their company. He is busy most of the time but he always make sure that he get to spend time with u
Cindy's Point of ViewThe smell of cigarettes inhabited my body and alcohol through my system. The chaotic scene of the bar and the different smell of people with alcoholic drinks in their body. The people dancing, swaying their hips to the music, drinking until they can't move anymore because of the alcohol in their system.I turn the glass upside down. It is empty again. Another empty glass yet I can still feel the pain in my heart. I smiled in the air with a bitterness in my fucking heart. What is this? What alcohol could possibly make my heart numb? To not feel any pain again... To stop loving from someone that I know couldn't love me back... To stop myself from hoping... To stop feeling anything...I put my hand up in the air. "Another glass of w-whiskey!" I said but my voice is too low that it could almost whispered into the air.I smiled when I saw another five glasses of whiskey. They are too good at this one. They know how to spot people that are heartbroken and just give th
Peter’s Point of View“Are you sure this is enough? Should I put carpet all over this room? You know, she might slip accidentally and---”“You are becoming a paranoid, man. She is not clumsy and minds you, she didn’t even agree to the setup you are plotting yet. You didn't ask her to stay with you and yet, you are already doing this. She would be furious if she hears that you moved everything of her belongings to your place,” he said. He sat on the bed and I immediately pulled him.“Don’t you dare stain our bed with your sweats! Stand on the corner if you want to rest,” I told him. He chuckled but his face didn’t even smile. What a fucking asshole. “I will be leaving now. Jane requested me to bring her out today. I am going to go. Take care of her you fucking moron,” he said before he went out of the room and closed the door with a force that made me almost jump off at my spot. Fucking asshole.I looked at the place and saw the slight satisfaction from the view. Everything is settled
Tara's Point of View"Do you need anything? Are feeling fine? Do you want some fruits? I can peel some for you, Tara. Is your body hurt? Do you want me to give you a massage?"I stared at Peter. He looks so concerned and worried at the same time. There is not even something to be worried about. He didn't leave since he came here earlier. He just let Cindy left. He didn't even walk her out. He didn't want to leave me.The doctor says I am fine already and I can discharge now but Peter didn't want me to leave and wanted me to stay for another day. He wants me to have my rest here. He doesn't want me to stress about something in Lester's house. "I want burger and fries," I said, almost whispering because I am shy to request something to Peter. I feel like I can't boss him around because of his facial expression. And, it is Lester's fault. He was the one who made me crave for burger and fries and now, I am looking for it every meal time.My mind won't be at ease if I won't eat burger and
Cindy’s Point of View“What are y-you saying?” I asked him.What? Tara is pregnant and Peter is the father? How can it be? Is he really testing my patience with her? If that's what he wants then I will make sure that her child can’t see this fucking world. That child deserves to die and Tara deserves to die! I calm myself down looking at her. You fucking deserve to die, Tara! You shouldn’t be here! I have done enough with you. I can't stand with you anymore. You got Peter's heart and right now? You let yourself be impregnated by him? What kind of friend are you to do that to me? You already know that I love Peter so much yet you still you still give another reason for Peter to stay with you?I looked at Peter and his dark eyes reached into my soul. He didn’t move nor talk but his expression says he is not pleased with everything that is happening right now. I looked at Lester again. I know him by his name and clearly because he is the most aloof in the band.“Peter is the father of m
Tara’s Point of ViewI tried to cover my mouth, tears falling. I felt my heart tighten hearing them, talking about their baby. Cindy is pregnant? He fucking lied to me. I thought they didn’t sleep and right now they are going to have a baby? I thought he didn’t sleep with her? But why? Why did he impregnate her? How can I fucking trust him if he fucking lied to me? “Tara… calm down,” Lester whispered. No. I won’t calm down. How can I be fucking calm down? His eyes met mine and I saw anger in his eyes. “Hush now. Let’s leave them,” he whispered. He is trying to lower his voice, afraid that we might get caught but I don’t fucking care if they will see us.I don't care if ever they will see us here. I just want to know why Peter did it. I just want to hear it from his mouth. I want everything to be heard by him. I don't want to listen to anyone like he did to me. I don't want to listen to them when I can give him time to explain himself because I fucking know how it hurts when you don
Tara’s Point of View“What happened, Lester?” I asked him. He just went home because he went out to buy something and yet he didn't give me some information about Peter. I am waiting for Peter's call but still I didn't receive any calls from him.I can’t reach Peter’s phone. He didn’t answer my calls since last night. I have been worried thinking what happened to him. I couldn't sleep since last night because I have been waiting for him to call me back. I can't close my eyes for even a minute because all I think about is him. He told me that he will give me a call after an hour but I received no calls at all. He is making me worry. He should at least give me some calls or just texts if he couldn't give me some calls so I wouldn't be worried at all. I wonder what happened to him right now.Lester handed me a glass of milk. “Stop thinking about him for a second, Tara. Think of yourself and that little human inside you. Don’t stress yourself out there thinking about him. He is safe so w
Cindy’s Point of ViewI took a peek at him when I heard his light snore. I couldn't help but smile while staring at him. He is sleeping on the sofa and I can clearly see him in his position. I didn’t request another bed because I want him to lay beside me but he didn’t do it. Instead he lay down on that sofa.I wanted to take that sofa away from here as well if only I can. I don't want him to be there because I want him to stay beside me. I want him to accompany me in my sleep. I want his warmth but he doesn't want to be with me.That bitch! What did he do to him that made him like this? Why is he so whipped with her in those three months of being together? Did that fucking bitch do something to him to make him be a fool to her? Did she bewitch him?Well, even if she did something to him. She will still don't have Peter. They still can't be together because Peter will always be mine. She can't have him. She will never ever have him. And I will make sure of that.I stretched my body an
Peter Point of View"How is she? How is my lovely daughter?" A man in suit rushed in. He hurriedly pushed the door and searched for her daughter. His eyes just passed by me. He didn't even ask if who I was. His eyes quickly searched inside the room to look for her daughter.Cindy is sleeping right now. She couldn't sleep without me that's why I need to keep her company while she is here. The doctor said she is fine. I should be glad that I quickly ran her here. The doctor said the cut was too deep and tells me to be careful with her.That's the second reason why I stayed here as well and couldn't leave her. Cindy needs me now. She may be pregnant or not but I need to keep her in my sight. I was the reason who caused her to almost end her life. It is my responsibility to be here.I left my phone in my car. I couldn't go there because Cindy don't want me to leave even a second while she is sleeping. She sleeps so lightly that even my lightest actions could wake her up but this time she
