She is one of my women. She is beautiful, has a big breast, and a beautiful physique. But, that wasn’t enough for me to be with her. Also, I’m not the type of guy to last with just one woman. Apparently, the ocean is too wide for me to look for other fish.
“Who is this?” She asked me and pointed to the woman next to me.
Who is the woman with me? I don’t even know her name, she just wanted me to date, and because I saw her breasts are big, I agreed to go with her.
The woman with me removed my hug to her shoulder. She looked at me as if waiting for my answer.
“Hmmm…” I pretended to think of her name.
I really don’t care about the women who approach me, the women who stumble upon me. Why would I bother myself to remember their name? Why would I waste time appreciating them? If only I could be with them for a while.
“What is it, Alex? We are waiting for your answer. ” The woman said we had met.
This woman knew I didn’t know this woman. Damn her, really. Tch. I know what will happen next here. That’s always the scene when I met this woman.
“I don't know.” I just answer honestly.
I was no longer surprised when I was suddenly sampled by the woman with me.
“It’s, Belle. My name is Belle Arcadia. Jerk.” The woman said then she left
While this woman I just met, she just laughed out loud. It looks like she was watching a live comedy show.
“Until now, you still don’t remember the names of your girls? Oh well, you have many women, you will have a hard time remembering their names.”
I just left her too. She was too loud.
Why did I meet this woman?
This woman, I also did not know her name, but I recognized her appearance. Because, every time she meets me, she always teases me. She just said that she became one of the women I became. And, every time I meet her especially when I have a female companion it always just becomes like that scene.
“Is it not? Have you ever confessed?”
“Don't follow me.”
“What's the matter? Why are you being a playboy again?”
“Shut up.”
“I remember once. I saw you with a woman, eating somewhere. I saw how you stare at her. You two have already broken up? That’s you being a playboy again?”
“I don’t know what you’re saying.”
“It's a pity, I didn’t know her name or ask her name at that time. Who broke up with you two? Is it her?”
I stopped walking and faced this woman. “What do you want? Why are you following me?”
“Hmmm… just nothing. I just saw you, then thought of teasing, as usual. Also, I'm curious, why isn't that woman you used to look different then you’re with now? Why, you don't know the woman you're with now?”
“Shut up. We never broke up because we weren’t two. I did not court her.”
To my surprise, this woman suddenly clung to my arm. “Then let’s just date.”
This is another thing that bothers me about this woman. Sometimes, she acted like a friend, and often she was like another woman who is in love with me. I could not understand what was running through her mind. But, she is not the other girl that 's flirting with me, she’s just clingy to me. Nothing more, nothing less.
“I do not want to. I do not like you.” I said angrily to her.
“If it wasn’t the woman you stare differently before is your date. If so, then I should be your date.”
I removed this woman's attachment to me. “I don’t date her, because I already have a serious girlfriend. So can you stop clinging to me or following me? You’re so annoying.”
This woman suddenly laughed out loud, as if I had told a funny joke.
“You?” She pointed at me. “Be serious with a woman? Don’t fool me, Alex. I’ve only seen you with one woman, you should be serious, but it looks like she busted you.”
This woman is really annoying. How can I get this annoying woman out of my sight?
********************* PATRICE MARURICIO ’ s P.O.V. “There! Can we go there!” Andrea happily pointed to the photo booth.“Of course! Let’s go!” Brena and I were happy to agree like a kid.
After we finished buying the napkin Andrea bought for her red days we wandered inside this mall.
The three of us have been to this mall a lot. Like at the food court, we ate something there. Played in the arcade game. Sing in what we called that, a singing room? And, here we go to the photo booth.
“I’m excited!” Andrea said happily as we waited for our pictures to come out of the machine.
“Me too.” Brena said happily too.
“I’m super excited too.” I’m happy to talk to them.
What I said is true. I’m really excited to see our picture. I’m really happy to be with Brena and Andrea. It was as if I was able to rest somehow. It’s tiring to tour almost the entire big mall, but it's fun.
“There it is!” We shouted three at once, so other people looked at us, while we just laughed as we shouted.
When we took our pictures it was at the same time that we smiled and laughed at the way we looked. But it’s even funnier that even if I don’t wear a costume or, even if I don’t look wacky, it’s as if I have a wacky face when I smile.
Brena and I were looking at Andrea when suddenly her phone rang.
“Just wait. I’ll just answer my Brother Andrew’s call. Maybe that he worries me.” Andrea said then she moved away from us slightly.
“Andrew is sweet older brother."” I said, then I just found myself smiling as I thought of Andrew.
“Yes. Apart from being a kind and sweet older brother, Andrew is also very protective.” Said Brena.
I looked at Brena. She smiled, as she looked at Andrea.
Soon Andrea approached us.
“Sorry. My Brother Andrew is sending me home.” Andrea looked at Brena. “Come with me, Brena. After all, your house is close to ours.”
“All right, I’ll go with you.” Brena replied to Andrea.
Then Andrea and Brena both looked at me.
“You too, Patrice, come with us. We will accompany you to your house.”
I immediately refused. “No, thank you.”
“Are you sure? Is someone here to pick you up?” Brena asked.
“No… I mean, he’s not here yet. Our driver is still on his way.” I lied. There is really no one who will accompany me.
“Then Andrea and I will join you, waiting for your driver.”
“No longer. There is no need to wait too. And one more thing, Andrew might be worried about Andrea.”
“You’re sure Patrice?” Andrea asked me worriedly.
“Yes, Andrea. Don’t worry about me anymore.” I’m used to being alone.
“All right, if that’s what you want. Just text me or call me when you get home.” Brena said.
I smiled broadly. “Yeah sure. Thank you for this day. I really enjoyed being with you two.”
“Me too. Bye, Patrice.”
After Andrea and Brena said goodbye to me, they left. When they left, I walked to the exit of this mall. Maybe I’ll just take a taxi to go home.
As I walked I looked at the pictures of the three of us. So this is how it feels to enjoy the mall with friends. It’s tiring but I enjoy it more.
I let go of the picture I was holding when suddenly someone pulled me. He took my hand, and faced a woman.
“This. She is the girlfriend I take seriously now. ”
What?!
What is this man saying? To my recollection I have never had a boyfriend.
“Are you… what? Kidding me? You’re kidding me?”
“No. I am not fooling you.” This man tightened his grip on my hand. “This woman is my only serious girlfriend.”
What does this man say?
I looked at the man who said that I was his serious girlfriend.
When I looked at the man he also looked at me with a wide smile on his lips.
“Hello, My SB. I miss you.”
What? What is this Antipathetic-arrogant-jerk-playboy, Shin, is saying? What is he saying SB to me? And most of all, what does he say girlfriend thing?
ALEX SHIN ’ s POINT OF VIEW“Hello, My SB. I miss you.”I almost laughed out loud when I saw Strawberry her eyes widened. A mixture of astonishment, shock and annoyance was evident on his face. His reaction was priceless.I really had no intention of pulling Miss Strawberry but I knew this woman wouldn't stop bothering me especially because she knew we weren't the woman she was referring to.I secretly smiled. How can I have a relationship with that woman? Apart from the fact that I didn't courted her before, I would have too many competitors with her, competitors that I knew if I competed with them I would only lose.“Hey, Alex.”I looked at this woman.“Now, what?” This woman asked me.“What? Here is my one and only serious girlfriend, my SB. What do you need?&l
PATRICE MAURICIO ’ s P.O.V. I hurried out of the car. I'll be late. My first subject is Math. Our teacher in Math is I am her favorite, favorite to stand alone in the back until I can't answer the math question.“Ah! Wait! Wait! Wait, Mr. Guard!” I shouted when the school guard was about to close the gate. When the gate closes for me, I will run ten more times in the open field before entering our first subject.Like me, my fellow students who were also late for school were shouting.When approaching the school gate correctly the school guard closed it.“Line up.” The school guard told us.We could do nothing but line up as we prepared our I.D. to give it to a P.E. teacher to watch over us.Our queue was one by one as we handed over our I.D. Then, we lined up to go to the open field.
PATRICE MAURICIO `s P.O.V. Almost every day, exhausting. This is my situation almost every day.“Wait!” I shouted as I ran to the school gate.“Don't close the gate, Mr. Bodyguard!” I still shout.When I got close to the school gate, I almost cried when it closed. We begged to Mr. School Guard but he didn’t let us be let in.I just want to jump and roll inside the campus. I will run ten times again in an oval the size of a mall.When I give my I.D. in a P.E. teacher whose name is Sir Steve, the keeper of the late runs in the oval. When I gave the I.D. I laughed at it.“You again. Looks like in a week you only don't run in the oval twice every morning.”“Hehehe…”I would no longer be su
PATRICE MAURICIO's P.O.V.When we finished all our classes for this morning, I felt like I couldn't even get up and eat because I was feeling so exhausted. Since our exam was close, we did nothing for this morning, not just to take the quiz.“That's how strawberries dry?” I heard that from Shin.I looked at Shin and kicked him in his leg. It jumped in pain, and he didn't seem to expect that kick from me. Serves him right.“The strength of your kick.” Shin complained.“I don't care.”I looked at Andrew as it passed in front of me. I stood up and
*** ALEX SHIN's P.O.V. *** Damn! Hasn't this teacher of ours finished teaching yet? I already know what he is teaching. I held my stomach when it sounded, compared to earlier the sound was quite loud. “Is that your stomach?” Miss Strawberry asked. I looked at Miss Strawberry, whose name I remember was Patrice Mauricio. “Shut up,” I whispered to her. “Okay.” She just answered and then looked at our teacher again. Why did I even think of giving her my food earlier? I'm so hungry now, and I don't understand what our teacher is saying, it's a good thing that in each of our subjects I have advanced reading so even if I don't understand what our teacher is saying I know all that. “Are you sure you're okay?” Miss Strawberry asked again. “Do I look not okay to you?” I asked her irritably. “Hmm… fifty-fifty? Fifty percent you look good, and fif
*** PATRICE ' s P.O.V. *** Entering the classroom, Belle quickly called my name.“Patrice! Omg! Omg! What did you do?! I can't believe it. You're so omg!”When Belle came to me, she suddenly grabbed both my arms and shook me.“What did you do, Patrice? Didn't I warn you? But, why did you still do that? Patrice! Tell me, Patrice. Why? Why?”I touched my big eyeglasses. “Why, what did I do? I'm dizzy.”Belle stopped shaking me, then fixed my frizzy hair.“Sorry, friend. I was just carried away by my emotions for what you did.”When my dizziness subsided from Belle's shaking me, I looked at her, and Brena arrived just in time.“Good morning!”Brena greeted us.“Good morning, Brena.” Belle and I greeted Brena together.“What is going on here? Your voice, Belle, can be heard f
*** BELLE ARCADIA's P.O.V. *** I am now walking to the chemistry laboratory to visit Patrice. I just want to go to her. Why didn't they do that Alex activity, then she cleaned up, I didn't talk anymore? Brena, was called by our teacher.“Ah, right.” I told myself as I remembered that I had something to do.I took my cell phone out of my coat pocket, unlocked it, searched the gallery, then I pressed it.“In the screenshot first.” I deleted the screenshot album, which only contains pictures of Alex the jerk.The next album is Facebook.“Oh! Oh! Gosh! Gosh!” Why do I have so many save pictures of that Jerk?“Yuck! Eeew!” Am I really the one who saved these pictures? “Eww! More than three hundred pictures?”I can't believe I’ve been in love for so long with a playboy jerk like Alex Shin. It makes me sick every time
** PATRICE's P.O.V. **I slapped my hand resting on my armchair while looking at our teacher. I'm about to fall asleep in our history class, maybe if I don't beat myself up I might be able to fall asleep on this subject.Furthermore, I looked at the time on the wristwatch I was wearing. It was only ten minutes before the end of our class. I need to stabilize, so I can't sleep. The last subject for this morning, so I did it.“That’s all for today, class. Goodbye.”When our teacher came out, I just poked my face on my desk. Finally, I really wanted to sleep, but I was hungrier, so I raised my forehead again and arranged my things.“I'm so sleepy,” I said while yawning and arranging my belongings.I was able to sit up straight and keep my mouth shut as Andrew passed in front of me. It's embarrassing. Did he see me gaping? Hopefully not, maybe what else would he think?I was stunned to think that
Diana Rose POV-I want to hide my tears. I want to bring my tears back to my eyes but I can’t.“Diana, don’t cry anymore.” Isabelle said to me.“I can’t help it.” I said, still crying. “Hold it as long as you can—no until we finish putting all the makeup on your face.” All the makeup that will be used on you is waterproof, so once the makeup is done, you can cry and cry until your eyes will be swollen.”I was crying like crazy and laughed at Isabelle’s words.“This is what we’ve all been waiting for. This is the day that will happen, so your beauty should dominate. So stop crying.”“But—”“No buts, Diana. Will you stop or I will slap all the makeup in front of you?”I stopped crying and nodded before hitting all the makeup.THIS IS THE DAY.We waited one year and nine months before this special day, Alex and I’s wedding, will happen. The process took a long time after what happened before.Miracle was a bit traumatized by what had happened then, especially the loss of Ronald. Mirac
Diana Rose POV-“Miracle!”Before I could run to Miracle, I saw Ronald was hugging Miracle to protect Miracle from the gun bullets.The rain of gunfire stopped at the same time as Ronald fell to the floor while bathing himself in blood.“Ronald! Miracle!” I was full of worry and shouted as I ran towards them.“Mommy, Papa doesn’t want to get up!” Miracle said, crying. “We’re still going to eat, aren’t we?”After I made sure that there was not even a single shot of Miracle from the gun, I first shifted my other attention to Ronald.I gently tap Ronald’s face. “Ronald, please open your eyes. Please.”I smiled when Ronald’s eyes slowly opened.“How to stop the bomb in Miracle’s body? Where is the remote to stop the time bomb in Miracle’s body?”“Do you think that I can hurt my daughter?” he said faintly.I stopped for a moment and shifted my gaze to Miracle who continued to cry because of Ronald’s condition.“No,” I looked back at Ronald. “I think I was scared.” I also looked back at th
Diana Rose POV-We heard a police siren.“Dammit, how did they track it down?”“Ronald, please. Stop this. I’m sure Alex didn’t like what happened to your sibling.”I have to make a way for us to stay here until the police find us in this room.“Shut up! Whether or not Alex likes it, it’s still Alex’s fault!”“But, Ronald...”My lips twitched when Ronald pointed a gun at me.“Will you keep quiet or will I fire the first bullet of this gun at Miracle?” Then he pointed his gun at Miracle.I shook my head. “No, please. I will shut up. If you want, I will go with you now, just don’t hurt Miracle. Please.”Ronald punched my stomach twice, causing me to feel weak. I felt him loosen my handcuffs, but my stomach felt an unfamiliar pain.I want to fight this time, but my stomach is in so much pain that my whole body is almost numb.“Let’s see who is more important t
Alex POV-Dammit.I miss Diana and Miracle so much. I shouldn’t have returned to New York, especially if I knew I would be stranded at the airport for two days because of the typhoon, and if I wasn’t required in that emergency meeting, I wouldn’t have come back without Diana and Miracle.“I’m sorry, but could you please hurry?” I said to Paulo, Isabelle’s husband.I asked Paulo to pick me up because I know how fast he can drive. He is a doctor and once he drove an ambulance in which I was also riding and how he drove, he even beat the one in the race car.“I’ve already maxed the speed limit, Alex. If I speed up, I might be over-speeding. This is not an ambulance.”He is right.“One more thing, calm down. I will have delivered you in less than thirty minutes.”“Fine.”I tried to contact Diana’s phone number, but I still can’t contact her. When I landed here around seven in the evening
Diana Rose POV - While I was getting my jacket and my bag, I still tried to contact Ronald’s number but I couldn’t call his phone number even though I couldn’t count the number of times I tried to contact him. I couldn’t think of anything other than going to see Miracle right away. That’s why after I got my bag and jacket, I left the house, just in time for a taxi to pass by, so I stopped it right away. I didn’t waste a single second and told the taxi driver the address that Ronald sent me. “Ma’am, it’s farther and then it’s late—” “I will pay any amount as long as you take me to this address.” I beg in desperation. I understand why the taxi driver almost refused. It’s a bit late at night and maybe he still has something to go to but at this time I’m desperate and willing to give all the money I have just to go to Miracle right away. “You look in
Diana Rose POV-After I finished meeting Ronald, he insisted on taking me to Isabelle’s house. Ronald also told me that is why there was no one at the cafe where we met because he rented it for the entire day.“Oh, my gosh, Diana Rose Soleta, we met!” Isabelle shouted as I entered their house. “I’ve been waiting for you. Why did you just visit me now?”The weather was hot, so we just stayed inside their house.“Because l met Ronald.”“I see. I understand.”Like Ronald, I just met Isabelle again and just now I could contact her.“I thought you forgot about me.”“Sorry, if I just contacted you now. I’ve been busy these past few weeks.”“I’m just kidding. I understand. Are you and Alex getting along?”“Yes,” I said with a smile. “Our family is complete now. We’ve been together these past weeks.”Isabelle’s jaw dropped. In joyful surprise, Isabelle’s jaw dropped, and then she hug
Diana Rose POV-Three weeks had passed, but it was still like a dream come true that we have now completed as a family.We did nothing for three weeks except bond after taking Miracle from school. But every Friday night, Alex returns to New York and then returns Monday morning, but often when an emergency in the company he needs it, Alex is back in New York to take care of his work. “Mommy, when is daddy coming home?” Miracle asked me as we were cooking breakfast.“Tomorrow morning, baby.”“By the way, do you want to go to school anymore?”“Yes, mommy. I want to say goodbye to everyone.”“Okay, I’ll take you later. Then that’s the last time you attend that school.”Alex has taken care of all the documents for our departure back to New York. It is a good thing Miracle agreed to return to New York because she said she liked it because his grandparents and his favorite is Uncle Darryl.
Diana Rose POV-“You two finally made up!” Darryl said when Alex and I visited him in his hotel room. “I’m sorry if I told Diana what I know.”“I think that’s fine.”“Of course!” I said. “You should have told me everything before.”“Calm down, Diana. Let’s not bring up the past.” Darryl said teasingly.“I’ll just get Miracle and I’s stuff, then we’ll move to Alex’s house—”“Our home, Diana. That’s our home,” Alex corrected me. “Our home. Miracle and I are moving there.”“Moving house?” Darryl asked in surprise.“Yes, why?” I ask.“That’s all you’re going to do? I mean, what do you plan to do now that you’ve settled? Other than that, I think you’re going to tell Miracle the truth. What else do you plan to do?”Alex and I looked at each other at Darryl’s question.“You don’t have any other plans?” Darryl asked, out of concern. “Hey Alex, what are you up to?”
Diana Rose POV-STRAWBERRY SCENT scented my sense of smell when my spirit woke up. At the same, time I felt a lot of pain in my, body especially in the lower part of it.For a few moments, I felt the edge of the bed I was lying on sink a little and I smelled strawberry scent even more.“Good morning, my SB.”Then I thought of opening my eyes after I heard Alex’s voice.“Good morning—why are you naked in front of me?”Alex was wearing nothing but a white towel for his lower body while he was wiping his wet hair with a white small towel.“It’s like you didn’t touch my whole body, you didn’t lick my man—”“Stop it!” I held my breath, cutting off the teasing Alex said to me.Every time I remember what I did last night with Alex, I feel like my whole body is burning with the shame of what I did. I didn’t mean it, I was just carried away by my emotions from what we were doing last night.
