Chapter 9.2

I fixed him lying on the sofa, but because of his height he couldn't fit in my small sofa. After I properly laid him down, I went to my room to get a blanket.

After I got a blanket and a pillow, when I returned to the living room I found him curled up on the sofa. When I approached him, his sweat was already dripping. It wasn't hot but he was sweating profusely.

I bit my lower lip and thought about what to do to keep him from getting hot.

"Erase! Erase!" I said to myself. "Why would you think? He insisted to sleep there! He chose that!" I'm still talking to myself.

I just frowned at him and immediately went back to my room to sleep.

No matter how much I tossed and turn on my bed, I still can't sleep. I texted Nurse Tessa instead, she's still on shift right now so I'm sure she's still in the hospital.

To Nurse Tessa:

Hello, Good evening.

How is Dad?

I was glad that she's really on shift right now when she replied. Maybe she's not busy.

From Nurse Tessa:

He's fine. Ther

    Chapter 10.1I can still feel my face blushing because of what happened earlier. If you see a man undressing in front of you, let's see if your face wouldn't look like a tomato."Come on Eloise! Forget about it!" I gently slap my face. I've been doing this for a while but it still doesn't work. I sighed and looked at the papers I still needed to edit. Determined to finish my work immediately and forget what happened earlier, I started to work. I was typing on the computer when suddenly my cellphone vibrated just above my desk. I stopped typing and look at it to see who texted me.Unknown number:Let's eat lunch together.I frowned and wondered who texted me. I replied 'who are you?' after that I put the cellphone on the table to continue working. Even though I hadn't typed half of what I was supposed to edit, my cellphone vibrated again.Unknown number:It's me :)Stupid. How do I know who he is?Eloise: Whatever your trip in life is, don't mess with me, okay? Thanks.After that I

    Chapter 10.2What's the problem again? I asked myself as I walked back to my cubicle.I was greeted by my co-workers' questioning look and malicious stares. It's like I'm guilty of the way they think of me. They're watching my every move. I quickly walked to my cubicle to avoid them all. Even though I was no longer comfortable around, I continued with the work I had left earlier. Fortunately, my work went well and I didn't get to have an additional paperwork. I was getting my things ready to leave, when my other co-workers arrived. I knew what they want from me and that was the information about the scene this morning. "If you want to know what 'tea' really is from what happened earlier, I can't answer you." I have preceded them because that is what they will ask me. It will not be difficult for them to make more effort for that. "We just want to know if you're having an affair with him." My ears perked up because of what I heard. Did I ever say that they're kind? If I said that,

    Chapter 11.1It felt so magical. Butterflies and feathers fluttered inside my stomach, and I felt like I was floating in the clouds. I couldn't explain my feelings anymore. This felt surreal. The silence stretched between us after the kiss. No one dared to speak. The sounds of the crickets and our uneven breathing were the only sounds we could hear. I tried to open my mouth, but nothing came out. I just took a deep breath and looked away, where I could only see the light from the streetlights and a few passing cars. We had been here for a while, but we still hadn’t moved or left. I bit my lower lip and then remembered that I was kissed by him a few minutes ago. I could still feel his lips on mine. The tingling sensation it gave me all over my body. I bit my lip so hard that I almost hurt myself. Thankfully, I managed to stop myself. I could still feel my face blushing, and I couldn't sit still! Even now, it felt like he was still kissing my lips. I clenched my fist on my l

    Chapter 11.2"What?! I told you already!—No! Are you stupid?" she shouted. I don’t know who she was talking to, but before I could hear more from whoever it was, I had already left her there. Maybe she needed some privacy too. From the tone of her voice, that call must have been important. Because of that, I didn’t get to eat breakfast. Never mind, I’ll just eat later. I took a bath and did my morning rituals. After showering, I put on a white long-sleeved blouse and a black skirt, paired with black wedge sandals. I didn’t bother tying my hair and just let it fall naturally. When I saw a white hair clip, I decided to use it as an accessory. I examined myself in front of the mirror, checking if my outfit looked good on me. I looked good, I guess.I put some powder on my face, a little blush on my cheeks, and applied some lip tint. After fixing myself up, I gathered my things before heading out. I didn’t bring the bag where I kept my other belongings yet since I would be coming

    Chapter 12.1When I got back to the apartment, I quickly changed into a fresh, clean set of clothes and fixed myself up. I didn’t stay there for long. Since I had already packed, I left right away and headed to the hospital. I felt so uneasy on my way there. Instead of taking a jeepney, I took a taxi because I wasn’t sure if it was safe for me to ride public transportation at that moment. I felt like there were eyes watching my every move. Besides, it was getting late, so taking a taxi was the better option. Upon arriving at the hospital, I was greeted by the strong scent of alcohol and various medicines. The nurses were busy attending to newly arrived patients. A stretcher carrying a bloodied patient almost hit me. I quickly averted my gaze, feeling a sudden wave of fear. I probably wouldn’t find Nurse Tessa in Dad’s room. It looked like there was an emergency, and the doctors and other nurses needed all the help they could get. As expected, Nurse Tessa wasn’t in Dad’s room.

    Chapter 12.2I did what I was told. I stayed inside the room and waited for him. I didn’t have to wait long since he came back quickly. He brought two paper bags, one of which was from the fancy restaurant near the hospital. No wonder he arrived so fast—it was just nearby. He placed the two paper bags on top of the small table in front of the sofa. After setting them down, he sat on the sofa across from it. From the paper bag with the expensive restaurant’s logo, he took out five disposable food containers. The unbranded paper bag contained two plates and two sets of utensils. I just sat there silently, watching him as he opened the containers one by one. There were also some utensils in the other paper bag. He started setting them on the table while I continued watching him. "Come here," he said, looking at me. Despite feeling hesitant, I stood up and walked toward where he was sitting. "Sit beside me, Eloise," he instructed. Like a robot, I obeyed him, but I made sure

    Chapter 13.1I woke up when I felt something heavy draped over my stomach. I also felt a breath against my neck. When I opened my eyes, I found Wyatt lying beside me, his arm wrapped around my waist, and his head nestled against my neck. I gasped at what I saw. I couldn't move, nor could I even speak. I took a deep breath and looked at him. He was sleeping soundly—he wasn’t snoring and remained completely silent. I traced his forehead when he suddenly frowned, his embrace tightening around me. He looked scared, and I didn’t know why. After a few seconds, his breathing became steady again. I continued tracing his forehead down to his pointed nose. After watching him for a while, I decided to get up. Someone might walk in and see us in this position. They might think the wrong thing about the two of us. The sun hadn't risen yet, so the cold still lingered in the air. I was about to remove Wyatt’s arm that was wrapped around me, but he only tightened his grip. He must be awak

    Chapter 13.2"Uh, Eloise? Can you hand me my bag, please?" I glared at Wyatt, who now had his head peeking out from the slightly open bathroom door. I grabbed his bag, which was just below the sofa, and angrily threw it at him. It hit him right in the face. "Damn you!" "What did I do?" he asked, laughing as he adjusted his bag. The part of his face where the bag hit had turned red. "'What did I do?' Your damn face!" I yelled at him, completely furious. The more he spoke, the more my blood boiled in anger. He was seriously raising my blood pressure! He just smirked at me before going back inside the bathroom because if he didn't, I might actually end up behind bars for murder because of him. After he finished showering—and after I had taken my turn—we had breakfast together. He mentioned that he had a meeting at 10 AM, so he probably wouldn't be able to have lunch with me, which was completely fine by me. I was still annoyed at what he did earlier! Ugh!

    Chapter 15.1How do you even know when you're falling? When you're in love with someone? What does it feel like to love? And to be loved in return by the person you love? They say that true love is a decision. You choose to commit to someone because you love them. You choose them every day and show them how much you love them. But what if I’ve never truly felt love before? How can I say for sure that what I’m feeling is love? “Eloise?” Cate’s voice pulled me back to reality. “Huh?” I turned to her, still lost in thought. “Do you like him?” she asked again. “If you’re afraid of liking him, there’s nothing wrong with that. We’re free to like and love whoever we want. There’s no law that says you can’t love someone just because of your differences in status. It’s just people who think that way,” she said in a long monologue. “I don’t know,” I replied. She sighed and held my hand tightly. “Listen to this,” she said, pointing at my chest where my heart was. “Listen to this, but

    Chapter 14.2"Let`s go," I said to Wyatt, who was still sitting on the sofa waiting for me as I stepped out of the room. I waited for him to stand up and walk out first before following him. I simply trailed behind him. When we reached the door, I stopped to lock the apartment. Once I was sure the door was locked, I followed him to the car parked out front. I quietly got into the car and sat down. "Aren't we leaving yet?" I asked him. When I turned to look at him, he was already holding a white t-shirt, which he had taken from a black duffel bag in the backseat. "Come closer," he said. "Huh?" "Tsk." Since he hadn’t put on his seatbelt yet, it was easy for him to move closer to me. I was puzzled about what he was going to do. I was about to ask when his actions answered my unspoken question. He held my hair and started drying it with his white t-shirt. "You should dry your hair; the water is dripping onto your blouse," he said. When I looked down at my blouse, it was

    Chapter 14.1The next day, I woke up to the sound of two consecutive knocks on the door. I still wanted to sleep, but whoever was knocking on my apartment door seemed to be in a hurry and couldn't wait any longer. With my eyes still closed and half-conscious, I got out of bed. I quickly fixed my hair and adjusted my sleepwear before leaving my room and walking toward the living room. I yawned as I opened the front door of the apartment. I rubbed my eyes absentmindedly and then looked to see who had arrived. "Good morning," I greeted the person in front of me without thinking. There were really times when not only was my hair a mess in the morning, but so was my brain. I didn’t even know why I greeted them—words just came out of my mouth. A smiling Wyatt Wolfenstein welcomed me the moment my vision cleared. He was wearing a simple gray polo shirt, cargo shorts, white shoes, and black sunglasses. His cologne lingered in my nose, and he smelled really nice. He leaned toward m
