I let out a breath after throwing those thoughts. And of a sudden, I try to peek inside my bag when I mind to take and open it.I thought of taking my phone inside my bag. I checked it as I opened the screen.But when I checked it, I remembered that Kevin would call me to inform me if he was here already.Speaking of Kevin–as I checked my phone, I saw on the screen that there was a missed call from him and there was also a text flashed on my phone's screen.I immediately read his message. And when I opened it, he said on that text just a few seconds away that he’s now coming here.I abruptly closed my phone’s screen and then I put it back inside my bag.“Is there anything wrong, Lola?” I forget that Heaven was here. Maybe I paid too much attention to my phone and I didn’t remember his presence.Goodness! Lola! Why did you forget?!“Nothing. I check to look if Kevin texted me...” he just nodded and he just drank.Of a sudden, I noticed Heaven turned his eyes somewhere before I averted
Laurene Torres As I took my friends to the dance floor, I noticed Candice and Trisha looked like a child as they were arguing about Heaven. They are both raising their brows and teasing each other. Really? How childish these two are! “Hey guys, if I were you, I would just choose that guy over Heaven so I have no other to compete..” Jane who is sipping her wine that he took from the waiter who approached us, pointed out the server boy wearing white plain sleeves with a vest and a necktie, he is not far from where we are standing as he was just on the other side. He was giving drinks to someone. “You really have good taste, Jane. I think he is more luscious than food..” Summer uttered in a seductive tone, then sipped his wine. He also stared at that man while he was seriously doing his job here. I noticed that we were just standing here while the music is still playing and those people are dancing. Looks like we’re just props there as I noticed that my crazy friends with me right
Laurene TorresContinuation...While I just let them have a dance with someone.And for a moment, I decided to go back to the lounge. But suddenly, my two eyes caught Lola walking somewhere, and it looked like she was finding us.“Hey, Laurene! Where are you going?” Trisha asked me as she noticed that I will go somewhere and leave them for a moment.I took a look at her as she was beside me. Then I speak. “I’ll just follow Lola..”“Hey! What’s going on here?” Summer was at my back, she was with someone.“Is there anything wrong?” Candice asked also in a gentle way.“Oh, is that Lola? Where is she going?” Jane became curious when suddenly, she saw Lola. Candice, Summer, and Trisha took a glance at her also and we noticed that she was walking on the dance floor. Possibly, she was searching for us.“I'll just approach her..” I just said.“Okay..” Trisha just said and I glanced at Summer, Candice, and Jane and they said that they’ll just stay here. I abruptly went toward Lola as I noticed
Adam Lopez It took an hour before I reached Bohol with my co-workers as my work provided us with free travel transportation, food, a place to stay, and other incentives. My manager, Mr. Greene, assigned me to this place as they needed employees to work here for just three days, and I just took this as an opportunity as it was a big help for me to have money that I would use to visit my father. Probably this next week, just like I’ve said before. Speaking of my work–I’ll be a server here at that resto. I heard there would be a big event that will happen there within three days and I also heard that the popular friend of Laurene Torres had an exhibition here in Bohol and will have their celebrations here in the restaurant bar. I don’t know who they are. And I am not interested in knowing about that popular friend and even Laurene Torres. I am happy if I can have money and/or I just want to earn money. That’s it. Talking about this job–I now serve food and drinks to anyone here in
Lola Valderrama I opened the door when I reached my room. I dropped my body on the bed as I felt tired after having a party with my friends and especially after what happened to me earlier. Speaking of that–Summer, Trisha, Candice, Jane, and Laurene accompanied me to my room after what happened to me earlier. They just decided to have some rest now because it is almost twelve in the evening and they are tired, especially after having a long ride just to be here. Yeah–I know they still want to have some party but seeing me earlier in that situation, they also feel pity and I know it is still kept in their mind what happened to me before–as Laurene already opened it up to them before when they got that news from Laurene. Talking about Heaven and Kevin, they are just fixing something about the situation that happened earlier. They are trying to investigate that man and I don’t know where they are now as Laurene my friend decided just to calm down and relax. Well, about Kevin–Laurene
“How did you two meet? I mean, You already know each other?” I turned my gaze to her as my eyes, for a moment, were outside the window of the car. I throw up on my shoulder in the air. “Well, he’s the one who saved me from those three jerks after I had dinner with Heaven..” I tilted my head to look one by one at my four friends wherein Summer and Trisha was seating in front, Jane was seated in the passenger’s seat while Laurene was next to me, then Candice. “Anyway, what is there something that he does to you? You know, as I looked at him, he’s hot, yum–” “Summer! My goodness!” Candice cuts Summer. I saw Laurene covering her face using her palm while Trisha and Jane chuckled, shaking their heads. I heaved a sigh. I tried not to laugh. “Yeah, you’re right, Summer. But I know he will not do something to Lola as he’s the one who helped her..” Trisha suddenly uttered in a sarcastic tone. Summer just rolled her eyes, turned, and looked out the window for a moment. “By the way, wher
When Sir Harold met us in the private jet runaway, we got inside the car. He’s the one to drive us going home, as we’re now here in Manila. The car runs when all of us are already getting in. While on the road, my friends and I just talked about my parents, asking how they were now after a month had passed. We also talked about their appointments after having a family dinner with us. Until finally, we’re now near the house after hours of riding in the car. As we were now in front of the house, the gate opened after Harold beeped the car to open the gate so we could get in. The car slowly runs to get it in until it stops when we’re in the garage.“We’re now here...” Harold uttered while standing outside. He opened the door for us. I smiled at him for a second. Candice got out of the car first, then Laurene and me. Jane, Trisha, and Summer are already outside as Sam assists them with us, our bodyguards. Our luggage was carried outside as we entered the house. “Oh, they are now here
She walked away from us when she answered the call on his phone. I just put my attention on what I am eating, then continue. Silence enveloped us again. “Hmm, anyway--how’s you two? Aunt and uncle?” Jane opened up a conversation to cut off the silence. Dad and mom glance at Jane. “Well, we’re all good, the same as before. How about you? Your family?” dad said after he and mom looked at each other to see who would answer Jane's question. Jane swallowed the food in her mouth before she spoke. “Well, just the same, uncle, even we’re busy with our own businesses..” she laughed a bit when she said that, then she put her eyes to what she was eating. “Yeah, I see..” dad nods while pressing his lips. “By the way, how about you, Trisha? Summer?” as mom mentioned their names, they stopped eating, putting their attention on mom for a moment. Trisha leaned her back and then spoke. “Well, I’m not happy, aunt..” “Me too, aunt and uncle..” Summer added. I noticed she was a bit scowled. “I kn
"A-Adam," I uttered, my gaze fixed on him, and my body felt like a statue. I couldn't quite explain what I was feeling, especially when I laid eyes on him again, and now our eyes briefly met."L-Lola, how did you know I was here?" I quickly composed myself and avoided letting him see what I was feeling at the moment.Ugh! Goodness, Lola! You should act normal! You don't like that person, right?"O-ohh, sorry. You're wealthy, after all. You probably saw me on the CCTV," he sighed deeply. I noticed his Adam's apple move as he briefly scanned my entire body, then he slipped his hands into his pockets and averted his gaze from me.I couldn't help but chuckle softly, slightly lowering my head before speaking. "U-Uhm, actually, I saw you on the balcony... so I came to find you." I gestured with my eyes toward the balcony, and suddenly, his gaze shifted there too.After he saw it, he averted his eyes again. He scratched his head and let out a soft laugh.Suddenly, the surroundings became qui
Of a sudden—I turned my body again, facing the ceiling. I focused my gaze on it for a moment. I sighed deeply and tried to blink my eyes.At that moment, my sleepiness seemed to vanish when Adam suddenly crossed my mind as I opened my eyes again.And here—I tried to place my hand on my chest, where I could feel my heart beating strongly.While still doing this—I felt something strange in my stomach, and I found myself smiling like a crazy person while still staring at the ceiling, with thoughts of Adam popping up in my head—especially about what happened between us earlier and the days we've spent together.Ugh! Crazy, Lola! Why am I thinking about him? What's happening to me? Why do I feel this way about him?!As I realized this, I stopped smiling. I tried not to think about him and quickly closed my eyes.But after a few seconds, I still couldn't. I opened my eyes again when he crossed my mind."What's wrong with him that I'm feeling like this?! Am I falling in love with that man?!"
Afterward, I just focused on what I was eating, and suddenly I heard Dad cough."Oh, Heaven, you're here.." I heard Dad's voice say it.H-Heaven? Is he here? Did I hear it correctly? Is he here?And there—I noticed that Dad and Mom stood up. I didn't realize that Sally and Minda had finished eating and were no longer in their seats.About them—I quickly noticed that they started walking and turned towards someone. I noticed Dad and Mom were now back in their seats, adjusting themselves.Suddenly, I heard a soft cough in front of me.Regarding this—when I lifted my gaze, I saw Heaven standing before me.At that moment, my heartbeat suddenly quickened, and the surroundings seemed to momentarily quiet down.W-Wait—what? Why is he here? Is there something I don't know? Or is there something I should know? I asked myself while he was now seated in front of me.*************I slumped onto my bed as I entered my room after dinner and took care of myself. I feel tired and my body is somewhat
"Oh, Lola! Come on, your mommy and daddy have been waiting for you since earlier.." As soon as I stepped out of my car, Nanay Sally greeted me right away, and it seemed like she had been waiting for my arrival."Where are they, Sally? Did they just arrive?" I asked as she walked alongside me toward the entrance of the house."Yes. They were waiting for you in the kitchen. I told them you went to see your friend," she replied, and I nodded in confirmation.Speaking of them, I suddenly remembered that they were coming home, and it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived. Well, that's because my nosy friends, especially Laurene, didn't spare me from their questions about me and Adam.I told them what really happened, but they seemed disappointed because they thought something was going on between Adam and me. They honestly told me that Adam and I looked good together, and they would support us if we ended up together.Goodness! They are crazy girls.But talking about that
"Oh, Lola, you're here! Why did you take so long?""We've been waiting for you since earlier...""Yeah, we've been here for a while..." Laurene, Jane, and Summer asked in succession.I took a chair from the dining table, placed my purse on the table, and sat down. Summer was sitting on my left, busy with her makeup, while Jane was on my right, eating an apple.Meanwhile, Candice was busy looking at dresses, probably for Laurene, who seemed occupied with her cupcake.Speaking of this—what time did I arrive that they're reacting like that? They were probably here earlier, and I was the one they were waiting for. Ugh!"I-I got stuck in traffic, so it took me a while..." I made an excuse because they might interrogate me if I told the truth. These friends of mine are such gossip, and they might tease me about Adam.Speaking of Adam—suddenly, I felt a surge of joy in my heart, and I realized I was smiling.At that moment, I was snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed they were all lookin
So now he wants to be with his sibling because he doesn't want to be apart from him anymore, and he also wants to be together with their father whom he hasn't visited in a long time because he has a job that can provide for their family.So now, even though Tyler doesn't accept it, he waits and hopes that they will be okay. Adam believes that Tyler's heart will soften and he will understand because he knows Tyler well, after all, they are siblings.Yes, Mother Isabella and Amy know everything about this. They became the guardians of Adam and Tyler when Tyler stayed at the orphanage. So whatever happens, they are ready to accept Adam's decision, especially since Tyler has a loving family.I sighed and temporarily put those thoughts aside when I heard Adam speak."Thank you, Lola," he muttered, and without hesitation, I reached out my hand to shake hands with him.He reached out as well, and our hands met briefly.And suddenly, while we were doing that, it felt like an electric current
But wait, I tried to sneak a glance at Tyler and Adam, and there seemed to be a difference in their faces. I also realized that there was something about them that I couldn't understand or comprehend.Ugh! What's going on in my mind? All I know is that they are siblings and maybe I'm a part of that too.For now, I set aside the thoughts in my mind.Going back to Tyler, he has somehow grown dear to me. I don't want to neglect the child, especially after what I've heard and what happened earlier.At this moment, he immediately looked away, and I did the same, slightly lowering my head.*******"I'm sorry again for what happened earlier. And I hope you and Tyler can..." I trailed off, my head slightly bowed as I spoke those words to him. I heard him sigh."Thank you. I hope so too," he paused for a moment, and I tried to glance at him, but he was looking into the distance."Also, you don't have to worry about Tyler anymore. He was checked at the clinic, and he's fine," he added unintenti
"A-adam, if you would allow me, let me take him to the hospital for a check-up. He might have wounds or bruises. And I'll take responsibility because it's my fault... I caused the accident, so I should be blamed for what happened..." I humbly said as Adam and Tyler stood in front of me, with Tyler avoiding eye contact with Adam.I'm still not asking what the real reason is, but for now, I need to have Tyler checked by a doctor. I don't want to just leave what happened to him. Besides, it's my fault for what happened earlier.But I can't understand why Tyler seems to be avoiding Adam. Maybe it's about what happened earlier? Or is there another reason?And what is it? Ugh! Yeah, I'm confused.He briefly glanced at Tyler and then looked at me. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted, and I felt that his expression became serious as he looked at me and spoke."Thank you, but it's not necessary. He's okay considering the circumstances," he said, then he turned his gaze towards Tyler, who was now
I am driving my car towards Laurene's house because she asked for my help in preparing a surprise for Kevin tomorrow night. It's their sixth anniversary, and she also wants me and my friends to come up with ideas for what she can do tomorrow. It's almost ten in the morning, and I'm still on the road. The drive has been peaceful so far. It's only a few hours of travel, and I'm getting closer to her house.Suddenly--Sofia suddenly came to mind when she called me using a different number earlier.Yes, honestly, I'm prepared for whatever negative words or anything she throws at me. I just can't quite figure out if she's really being deliberate or if she's just teasing and trying to provoke me.Especially when she mentioned that it was her boyfriend Kade's birthday this coming Friday. It will take place at 6 PM, and she invited me to go there. As for this, I started wondering about my friends. She didn't mention if she invited them too, and I have no idea if they'll be going.Yeah, maybe s
