“Why did you ask me to be here?” I asked him.I know that he is up to something. I can feel it. There is something bothering him and I think I already knew it but I just don’t want to say it. He already says that he was jealous of me and right now, I don’t know but I think something is not right.“Is he coming home for good?” he asked. The light touch of pain is evident on his face but he chose to smile at me and avoided my gaze. He kicked the leaf that he thinks keeps him from walking.“Why are you asking me that one, Peter? You are just hurting yourself. Don’t ask me anything about him if you don’t want yourself to get hurt.”He chuckled at my response. I stopped and looked at the bench. There is no one except for the leaves on the bench. “Aren’t you tired?” I asked him. It’s only been minutes since we walked here but my legs are giving up already.“I won’t get tired of you, my lady. I can even make love to you, right here, right now, if you want.”Make love?“I meant, aren’t you ti
We went back after that conversation. My pacing was slower than him because I was looking for her. I know she is still here, watching me and I want to talk to her. "Can you walk faster? Or do you want me to carry you?" I shook my head and walk past him. I heard him chuckle but match my pacing afterward. He was about to hold my hand but I didn't let him do it."I can walk alone, Peter. There's no need to hold me.""Accidents can happen."I stopped when I heard what he said and he stopped as well when he realizes what he just said to me. He lowered his head, "Sorry, I didn't mean to say it like that, my lady.""I know," I weakly said. My knees started to shake and before I could meet the floor. I run the distance from where I was standing to the room of my sister. "You shouldn't do that though. Look at her. Look at how she is staring at you."When I opened the door, I found them looking at my sister who is looking at them with blank emotions. My sister looks kind of puzzled by the sc
I have been here for almost a week now and still, I can't talk to Jane properly because of the trauma she's been experiencing. She would sometimes throw a tantrum and that's the reason why I shouldn't let her be alone.Peter doesn't want me to quit the job. He still sees me as his employee even though I don't have time to work for him. I am negotiating with him to just deduct my salary for the days I haven't been in a work with him but he won't let it happen."You can go now, Peter. I am fine here. Everything is fine."He is still here. They are to perform later this evening. The performance that they said won't work because of the past that Peter made to the daughter of the duke who organized this event.He looked at me with nothing but worried eyes. "Are you sure? I can escape that event if you want. I can stay here."I sometimes don't understand him. He always tells me that what he feels for me is far beyond lovers because he only likes me as his fuck buddy but sometimes his action
A month… I only have a month to do what I needed to do.“Are you still there?” I looked at my phone. My mind was so occupied that I almost forgot that I am talking to Peter. I can hear the host talking, he is still in the said event. They didn’t perform yet. I heard Lena says something about the guest wanting for them to perform already but they need to follow the sequence and wait for their turn.“Yeah… What were you saying?”I took a glance at Jane. She is sleeping peacefully while I was playing my mother’s playlist for her to have a good sleep. She was close to doing something earlier, but she suddenly calmed when she heard the song I played and I just found her sleeping.I didn’t bother to call the doctor anymore because I think I made her calm already. The doctor told me to call him when something happens but I did handle it well. I think I should buy a speaker for her to listen to well.“Nothing important. What is your sister doing right now?”I sighed and went to her phone to
“That was fun though,” I heard Johnny say.They are coming in. Right after their performance, the band decided to come here and follow Peter. I can’t blame them for looking for Peter right after the performance because I know how badly they want to celebrate what had happened but Peter left them… For me?I shook my head to remove what was I thinking and focus on them. Even though Lester never said anything, he always follows what the boys thinking. He was never the killjoy because he plays along with them. He just doesn’t want to say anything.Peter took a glance at me but I pretended I didn’t see him and looked at William. William put the basket of fruit on the table where we put all of our food. He never forgets to bring fruits every time he visits here. “Thank you,” I uttered when he walked past by me. He stopped to look at me and nodded. “You are always welcome. Did something happen since we left?” he asked, glancing at my sister who is now peacefully sleeping. The boys know ho
Cindy...I woke up early to see the doctor and ask him for some things about my sister but I saw Cindy, looking at me. I turned to look at my back to check if it was really me whom he is looking at.I saw no one on my back except for the nurse that surveys the wards. I ordered a pancake for my sister if ever she doesn't want to eat hospital food. I know how she is so picky when it comes to food that's why I am doing this to her.I can tell sometimes that she doesn't want to eat the food but she doesn't have a choice since she won't talk to any one of us and she's shy to refuse what is given to her."Me?" I asked her, pointing at myself.She raised her brows at me and nodded. She shrugged both of her shoulders, telling me who else when she is clearly looking at me.With hands on my back, I walked toward her. She smiles at me when I am getting nearer to her. I wish I could give back the smile she has but I can't give her that smile. "Follow me," she said.I can feel the authority in he
"Why were you always glancing at the time? You have a plan for today?" Peter asked me when he noticed my constant glancing at the time. It is almost lunchtime and I know Cindy might be waiting for me. She has already sent me the location. I know Cindy since then and I know how she always wants to be the boss and the ruler of the house."Sorry, Peter. I shall meet an old friend later.""An old friend? Is that old friend of yours is a she or a he?" he asked. He put down his phone to look at me.His bandmates left already. Peter left but he came back. I wasn't surprised at all when he returns because I know he will. He already said to me that we will have lunch together and that's why I am so conscious right now.He doesn't have a say in my life but I am afraid that he will be mad at me if he found out that I am meeting with one of his flings before to ought an act of revenge on him. I can't tell him that."A she, Peter," I replied.He nodded and looked at my sister. Jane is looking at P
"I w-will, Matt," I answered him. Peter looked my way when he heard what I have just said but I turned my back from him so I won't have to meet his cold stares at me. I faced the bathroom door and was about to enter when I realized that I don't need to do that. Why would I hide anyway? Peter already knows who called me and I can't stop him from thinking anymore. I can't make him think of something else as well. It will just cause misunderstanding.But... Why do I care about his feelings now? I shouldn't be thinking of his feelings right now. "With who?" he questioned. He doesn't sound so interested or uninterested, he is in between."A friend of mine. Cindy..."The silence is deafening us. He doesn't know about Cindy though but he mentioned to me before that there was once a girl who confessed to him and the name of the girl is Cindy.I know it is purely coincidental but I can't deny that there is an impact on the way he will hear her name. "Uhm... Okay. Is it okay to leave your s
