Patrice’s P.O.V.
-
When it’s time for lunch break, Shin quickly pulled me out of our classroom. I couldn’t even tell Brena and Isabelle that I was leaving.
“Where are you taking me, Shin?”
Shin and I are now running towards something I don’t know. How come he didn’t even tell me which part of campus we were going to as long as he just pulled me over.
“In the cafeteria.”
“Just in the cafeteria. Why did you pull me?” I said almost out loud.
I thought about where he would take me. The way he pulled me out of us as if we didn’t seem to run out of food in the cafeteria.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Shin and I went straight to the queue of food.
“Why are you in such a hurry to come here?” I moved a little closer to Shin to whisper. “Instead of walking with Andrew to the cafeteria, you’re the only o
-(After several days.)-............Patrice’s P.O.V.-Shin frowned at me as he looked at me and crossed his arms.He has been staring at me for a few minutes, maybe almost half an hour as well. Some of my classmates who pass by here are also wondering, like me, why this Shin is staring at me? Others say because Shin has fallen in love with me more, I almost burst into laughter when someone told me that. In love my ass.Shin shook his head once and said tsk as if he was overly stressed when he saw me.“Why? Why do you look at me like that?” I was no longer constrained to ask.The way he looks at me, it looks like I’m a big problem for him or I’m a headache for him.“Has your face been like that since birth?”My forehead furrowed when out of the blue moon he asked me th
Patrice’s P.O.V.-At, lunch break, I immediately told Brena and Isabelle that I would not eat with them first. I lied that I wanted to be alone with Shin during this lunch break, so the two of them were thrilled with me again because of that. Tsk.“Shin!” I happily call him when I approach him in his chair.“Ow? My SB?” Shin’s reaction to seeing me was a mixture of astonishment and surprise. He didn’t know I had something to tell him.“Are you done arranging your things?” I will ask.“Yes?” He answered as a question.I laugh at Shin’s reaction. The cute of his reaction, he looks like an innocent child.“Let’s go!” I said cheerfully.“Huh?”I quickly pulled Shin out of the classroom.“W-Wait—&rdquo
Patrice’s P.O.V.-As soon as I woke up I removed the cucumber from my eyes that had been placed overnight in my eyes and washed it. After washing and removing my skincare on my face that I put on last night I looked in the mirror.I couldn’t help but grin seeing my face. “I look fresh, especially if nothing is set on my face.”When I came out of my bathroom I looked at the time on my cell phone sitting on my side table. It’s already 7 o’clock in the morning and Andrew and I talked about meeting at the mall at 11 o’clock this morning.“I’m excited.” I said to myself.I go to my little walking closet and choose a nice dress that suits my face.“This,” I said to myself. A fitted blouse dress in light blue color as the color of the cloud, the only button three in height is its design.I pou
Patrice’s P.O.V.-“Please stop, please stop the car.” I hurriedly said to my driver when I saw I was passing a thrift store outside. “Please, please park in the thrift store.”Before Mang Ed, my driver, parked the car in front of the thrift store, he glanced at me in the rearview mirror. Maybe it made him wonder why I stopped at the thrift store. Because I have never been to a store like this. As in never.I grew up wearing designer clothes, bags and shoes. The clothes I wear are from international shops. I don’t wear clothes that aren’t branded. Even hair clips are branded.“Ma’am, where are you going?”“In the thrift store.”“Huh?”“I’ll just buy a dress for a while.”“Huh?”“Just wait Mang Ed, I’m just fast.”I didn’t wa
Patrice’s P.O.V.-I am looking at Andrew now as he chooses the brush we will use.We were given an Arts project to make a poster painted by a row group, and since the three of us, Andrew and Shin, were side by side in a row, the three of us became a group.I laugh in my mind, looking at Andrew now having a hard time picking a brush. He said he didn’t know anything about such things, and only Shin knew about such things. It is said that Shin does drawing, and he is good at drawing and painting. At first, I didn’t believe it, but Andrew said earlier that I had to believe he said that Shin is good at drawing, so I believe.“Is this so?” Andrew asked me as he showed me the paintbrush he chose.“Hehehe, I don’t know.” I laughed.“Same.”Laughing too, Andrew said.It’s the same case for the two of us who know nothing
Patrice’s P.O.V.-“Hahaha, did you see the faces of those who fought you earlier?” Laughing Andrew says exiting the store we came from.I am thankful because Andrew only saw the reaction of the three women and not the reaction of mine.Andrew’s approach and hug with me made all.of us both startled and startled, especially when Andrew called me baby in front of them and even with people looking at us. How shocked they were. I was even more surprised when the baby called and made Andrew hug me. I didn’t expect him to do that.“Wait—”Andrew removed the hug from my shoulder and he looked at me.I felt my cheeks suddenly turn red when Andrew looked at me and smiled at me.“Wait, what?” He asked.Oh gosh! Why does Andrew even have to smile at me? Isn’t he aware of how ha
Patrice Mauricio’s P.O.V.I call Shin while Andrew is buying a ticket. Who am I to refuse his offer to come here to the Enchanted Kingdom? Even though our flight took more than two hours,I still went. Of course, I will not miss this opportunity. Even if the flight is still five hours or ten hours away, I will never refuse this opportunity to be with Andrew.It’s annoying. I called Shin’s cell phone number again. Why isn’t he answering my call?“One more time.” I whispered.If Shin hasn’t answered yet, I’ll stop calling his cellphone number.Earlier while Andrew and I were on a trip in his car and when he fell asleep, I texted Shin that we were going to the Enchanted Kingdom and I asked what we could do, like what kind of rides does Andrew want to ride, what his favourite to eat when he’s hungry and what Andrew’s favourite drink when he’s thirsty?“At last.” I said
Patrice Mauricio’s P.O.V.As Andrew and I entered the Enchanted Kingdom, the sun shone on the two of us. I won’t be surprised because we arrived here at the Enchanted Kingdom at around 3 in the afternoon.But, I still can’t help but be wowed and inevitably clap for how beautiful the Enchanted Kingdom is.The beauty of it is even in the morning, because it is more beautiful because it is the Enchanted Kingdom at night, there are many colours of light around as well as the rides, and there are also fireworks tonight. And, it will be sweeter if Andrew and I catch the fireworks at the ferries wheel. I just thought that would happen. I was thrilled.I looked at my cellphone when it vibrated and saw Shin’s text message to me. I texted him anxiously as Andrew and I entered here in the Enchanted Kingdom. I texted him and asked him what Andrew’s favourite food was here in the Enchanted Kingdom.I nodded with a smile on my lips wh
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.
