“As you are aware, everyone allocated to the various provinces has departed. Because I was still taking care of stuff, we were the only ones remaining. There was a problem with my company, so I informed you late about the meeting that was held,” Lorenzo remarked solemnly, and I was excited to know what his problem was with his company. I could sense his trepidation as we board the plane. Back then, he had only praised me. We could almost run out of time every time we meet because he kept saying lovely things to me, so I’m wondering why he’s so silent now.“Is your problem too bad?” I said, but he didn’t appear to hear me since the area was too large and the powerful wind was eroding our words. His look remained unchanged, so I sped up the walk so we could go inside. When I got inside, I asked him the same thing again. “Is there a problem with your company?”He is now staring at me. Nothing had changed in his expression, but it still appeared tense and confusing. He doesn’t say anythin
I jumped in a panic because of the loud voice that called to me and at the same time shook my body. I could feel the wetness of my whole body, even the sweat. When I finally opened my eyes, I saw Lorenzo’s worried face. For the first time, it wasn’t the scary and bad Lorenzo I saw. I saw the other side of him; I saw his real worried face, not fake.The stewards quickly ran towards us as they handed me the water. Even the female steward I could see her worried face. My forehead was still full of sweat even though the aircon was on. When I looked outside, it was already dark. How many hours did I sleep? The steward left, and Lorenzo took the glass the steward had given me. I breathed to calm my strong heartbeat because of the dreams.Lorenzo touched my forehead, then wiped it with his hand because I was still weak. I didn’t argue anymore. “Are you sure you can do it? Look, you have a fever. You must have said so for us to cancel. Even your skin and lips are pale.” His two eyebrows are s
I didn’t interact with them at first and let Lorenzo explain since my body couldn’t take anything. Now. I can’t even get up. It’s just bothersome since it’s still happening where I’m already planning. I also attempt to open my eyes so I don’t dream what I dreamed. It’s frightening since my fever can worsen if I dream about it again. I’m also becoming hungry because I haven’t eaten since last night and during our trip. So maybe I’m failing as well and my body has no energy.When the door creaked, I couldn’t see who was behind it. I also don’t believe I’ll be able to sleep well here now since they built everything of wood and everything makes noise. I’ve also seen that some houses are so old that it’s frightening that one of them may suddenly collapse while it’s pouring heavily. I was going to get up from lying down when I was stopped and told to go back to bed.“You shouldn’t move first to get your resistance back. You’re probably too tired, so you have a fever. You should also rest on
Lorenzo did not speak to me so that I could rest, but he did bring me food for lunch and dinner. He was correct, and I regained my strength since I felt better the next day. It was cozy, and by the time I ate that night, I was feeling a little better.I heard birds crowing, and I think I awoke early since I slept early the night before. I stood up and glanced at the cabinet that had been prepared for me. Lorenzo didn’t sleep here, so I suppose they assigned us to a separate cabin. I brought my baggage and a backpack. I took the suitcase first to place my clothes in the cabinet so that I wouldn’t have to struggle every time I took a shower and dressed. Next, I took up the phone and tried to open it, but it was dead. I also assumed that I wouldn’t be able to use it here because there was no signal in the hidden provinces. It is tough to find a signal, just like in Guangdong. When I was about to get up to go out and ask where I could find the toilet, I heard the call to me.“Lizelle?” The
I am outside. I turned around to look for Tyron. Even though I drove him away, I still wanted him to stay here and watch over me, even if it was unfair to Wendy. No matter what I do, I can’t stop the overflowing I feel for him. I could barely sleep with the kiss he did on me. I turned my back to pretend he was there, but I only saw the approaching Lorenzo.“Let’s go?” He pulled me into the sea, he said. He told me we would look for fish there because there is a cave in the sea where the fish are staying. He was holding two large-pointed bamboos. He says that’s what we are going to use; to catch fish.I turned around again to look, but I didn’t see Tyron, so I just shrugged it off. Volunteers will be coming tomorrow. We will see how many students there are. Other adults still want to learn. With the amount of population here, I think quite a few can be listed. I just hope they send more volunteers. After we count them, the school will be built next. Depending on the quantity, how much
Lorenzo and I were both surprised when I came out of the big grass and he was also passing by. I don’t know how long I’ve been in Tyron ’cabin. I looked back to see if he had followed. Lorenzo also looked where I looked.I walked over and took his hand to pull him back. I no longer waited for him to ask. If he were to ask, we should be far away from here because Tyron might suddenly appear here next to me and I would lose all my reasons for Lorenzo. He hadn’t carried the pointers anymore. Maybe he left them or he forgot to bring them back because he was swimming earlier.When we finally saw the many people, he started to ask. Fortunately, we were far away because I saw Tyron coming again, so my eyes widened, but he went straight to where the children were.“What exactly are you doing there? I thought you’d returned?” He took another look towards the rear where we had passed a while ago, and Tyron removed his farmer’s hat so Lorenzo wouldn’t spot him. While I was doing so, I drew him e
“Is everything all right?” I am now sitting outside while listing the names of children and older students. We are now at the long table as the six of us sit. I didn’t make a mistake and we will indeed be overwhelmed because even the other barrio has already registered. The volunteers have arrived.“Arturo Mendez and Arturo Mendez Jr., Miss. ”I wrote the name of the student; they are father and son. It’s good that somehow they don’t want to forget to study and they persevere. Even though my purpose here is different, the people here are also my priority.“Tyron.”That’s what the man next to the man said earlier. I looked up and glanced at Tyron. This man is very stubborn. He doesn’t even know how to listen to what I’m saying. I also did nothing but put his name. I don’t want to argue with him now because someone else will notice us.Ever since he told me about the ring, he has only become more and more clingy. I don’t know if he’s sweet sometimes or he just acts like that. Sometimes
“Hmm ... Haaa.”I catch my breath as I continue to keep my hands wrapped around Tyron's neck. My head and body are fully poisoned since they are already being taken away by his kisses and caresses. One of his legs is now in the center of my thigh, attempting to split my thighs while my two hands are elevated. As if there is no tomorrow, our mouths are blades. His every motion and breath is scorching, adding to the fire in my body.We can’t hear the rain since Tyron's cabin’s roof isn’t composed of galvanized iron. Thunder is the only sound that can be heard. Because we are already on the brink of the water, its roar is audible. It’s frightening to think that something horrible may happen to us while we’re here, since the sea will rise in response to the power of the rain.“Why are you such in a hurry?” I yanked him away from me, but he didn’t let go and turned my neck. He muttered there, which contributed to the sensation of what we were doing. Outside, I’m sure it was already dark. I
Lorenzo did not complain about my offer to him. The construction workers arrived just a few days ago and even exceeded what I expected to come. I didn’t know that he would take seriously what I said that needs to be made easier because it is better to teach people who want to study earlier. But I think it’s also good that he dug into what he worked for because of the 20+ he took to haul the equipment. They didn’t have a hard time. I was right when I said that they could not enter the vehicles because it was too muddy. The mixer truck also did not enter, so they were mixing the cement manually.Somehow there is a beginning even though they have only been here four days since they came here. As I watched all the cement, the worker’s Lorenzo stood beside me. I was wearing an orange dress and white shoes. When the strong wind passed through my face, my hair ruffled, so I put the sharpened hair back behind my ear. I saw him seriously staring at my face, but I didn’t pay attention to him. T
“What are you doing here?” When I was at the door, that was immediately what Lorenzo asked me. Maybe he saw my crazy laugh. Maybe hundreds of questions were going through his brain as to why I was laughing alone in this cabin, even though there was no one here except for me.“Why did you follow me?” I did not answer the question, but I answered with the question as well. I lost my enthusiasm for this plan. All the excitement I poured out vanished like a bubble. I didn’t look at him and still walked, even though he was blocking. As I approached the stairs to put on my slippers again, he grabbed my hand. No one answered our questions for each other.“You haven’t explained yet. I didn’t ask you why you weren’t ready to be my girlfriend even though you also showed that you like me.” His eyes were full of questions and he was ready to ask the next questions again, but I knew he was keeping himself from getting angry. No matter what he does, he will never get an answer from me, especially s
My jaws were left open with what he said. I was still in the revenge phase while he was already flirting. Take note: he is already asking for an answer. His question stunned me; I didn’t know what to answer. How can I tell him I’m not ready yet? That was my only remaining reason for answering his question. Can he just ask something else?“Y-you know, Lorenzo, I’m not ready for those things yet. And that’s not what we went for here, is it?” I hesitated to take his hand away from me and then smiled awkwardly. I didn’t want to offend him, but because he suddenly asked, I wasn’t feeling good. I’ll just assume I haven’t heard that.I left him there because his jaw stiffened. I’m hoping they complete what they’re going to do soon because I want us to leave here and I’m starting to feel uncomfortable with him again. I thought I’d feel better every time I saw him, but it was just momentary since he was acting the same way he had previously. Even though we don’t have a label, he becomes strict
I’m not sure when I fell asleep following what occurred to Adonis and me. I’d want to check the time, but I can’t find the clock. I attempted to rise, but I couldn’t because of the discomfort in my lower body. I suppose this proves that what happened last night was not a hoax. My body has begun to relax. When I checked around the little cabin, I couldn’t see Tyron. Is that all there is? I’m at a loss for words. It felt as though salt was being sprinkled over a new wound that had just been opened.The door opened just as I was ready to get up and leave because I felt he had abandoned me. It sounded loud as if the opening had shattered it. My heart skipped a beat because of what someone did when he came in, but it quickly calmed down when I saw him...He had fresh coconut juice and food on the plate. Those are, once again, veggies. Cole fed me fish daily, as if I had always wanted to eat anything. I’m thinking of eating worms. It felt as though the flavor of fish had been lodged in my to
