After their parents left, Cali went back to their bedroom to change into pajamas, but to her surprise, her clothes were gone missing from the wardrobe.
"You damn gay!" Cali shouted.
Perci heard Cali shouting from their bedroom. He ignored her and continued reading the story of Nicholas spark.
"You damn gay! You better come here, or I'll throw your stuff away!" Cali shouted once again.
"Damn, woman!" He rolled his eyes as he left the book on the coffee table. "What the hell is her problem?"
His hands were tied with a chain belt. His tears are slowly falling as his body still trembles in fear. He was too young to be in this dark and unknown place. "No...D-don't touch me." "No...D-don't touch me." "No...D-don't touch me." "No...D-don't touch me." He kept on telling the woman not to touch him. Her hands are big that could easily smash his face if the woman wanted to. He could not understand why he couldn't see her face. He tried to see her face as hard as he could, but he ended up blinded by the light. His eyes closed as a response to the alumnus.
"Delete it, or I'll let the world know that we have a nightstand, you don't want your boyfriend to know about that, right?"says Perci with a smirk on his face. "I doubt that you can do it,"says Cali. She was confident that Perci is the type of person that wouldn't let himself in a scandal too. Cali had been battling against his stare. No one would want to look away. It is a serious battle of stare that could determine who will win the game of guts. "Are you testing me right now?" Cali could not utter a word. It was her first time fighting with a person that could make her knees bent. She is used to getting what she wants, and the boys will do everything for her, but Perci is different.
Cali decides to swim in the pool and reflects on what happened yesterday. She stared aimlessly at the sea with white milk-like cotton candy babies that makes this dry land taste water every time it cries. On that day, she was trembling and tired of walking. She decided to stop and rest on a rock. Her mind is wandering with different scenarios like being kidnapped by rebels since this is an isolated area, a perfect place to hide. Her other wild imagination is about being killed by a wild animal or uncivilized people. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her back. She screamed when someone tapped her back. Due to her fear of being killed, she closed her eyes and threw a first which perfectly landed on the stranger's face, and it turned out to be Perci. She laughed while recalling how she caused a bruise on Perci's che
Cali was sleeping peacefully when a deafening drill of the helicopter’s tail rotor blade disturbed her. She squinted her eyes to see what was going on. She peeked from the glass wall ceiling; he saw nothing but a calm ocean and a gold color that radiates from the sun.She glanced at the water bed to see if Perci was still sleeping. "Where could he be this early?"says Cali while fixing her hair. She learned to fix her hair to avoid Perci taking pictures of her messy self. It would affect her image as a beauty. She went outside and there she discovered where the disturbing sound was coming from. She recognized a thing from a distance above to where they were standing. It was a helicopter, then she wondered, why would a Helicopter stop nearby? Someone had laid a stair. If Cali were to describe how the stair looked, it wou
murmured before heading to the sala. ****Last day of not so honeymoon. **** Cali reheated the dish they had last night. While eating she realized that today is the last day of their honeymoon or, should she say their vacation. They only spent one week together, yet it seems like she is used to waking up with that brat aka 'her husband'. She had lived with the different character of Perci. Sometimes he is sweet, but most of the time, he is snobbish and bossy. Just like today... "Brew some coffee for me,
Cali is silent throughout the journey. She only stares at the darkness of the road. Sometimes, a little glimpse at the stars. She smiled while staring at the full Moon. She chuckled when a memory of her childhood appeared. She used to think that the Moon is following her when in fact, it's not. When she grew up, she learned that the Moon appears to follow because it is very far away, and objects like trees and houses that pass by are very close by comparison. As she walks or drives along, things much closer, like trees and houses, appear to move between a person and the Moon. Because the Moon is so far away, it doesn't seem to move at all and appears to follow. "You are creeping me out. Don't chuckle all of a sudden," Perci interrupts her moment. She did not mind him and decided to nap since the journey wil
"What happened?" Perci asked when he heard Cali panicking from the passenger's seat. "I think Laurence had been caught in an accident," she replied while trying to call his phone, but it is out of the coverage area. She dialed her manager's number. "Hello, Cali. You need to go to St. Fausten Hospital," says Remedios. "I'll be there," she replied before hitting the end button. She turned her gaze to Perci to asked,"How long will it take to go to the Fausten?" "Probably, an hour and a half, it depends on the traffic,"he replied. "
‘Who is it this time? They really loved meddling in my private life. I need to find this imbecile who is trying to mess with me and my career. I’m not going to watch and stay still,’ says her eager mind. "I must rest first..." Her eyes had decided to close and live on a peaceful night. However, there is no telling if the night would be a peaceful one or a chaotic night or a time of dark night; the crimes and illicit affairs slid like debris floating in the night tide, under doors and window latches, into streets and windows. She received a message from Laurence, asking her to go to the Dolomite beach. The beach was located in Manila. It is quite not too far since she had a car. She wonders why Laurence wanted to see her at this hour. Her heart and man told her that his man missed him so much. She put on a light baby pink lip tint
A little misunderstanding can destroy everything because it's poisonous that it makes us forget the most beautiful moments we shared. But life is a rollercoaster. Thus, sometimes we need to fall apart to realize how much we need to fall back together. The moment we realized how much this someone means... will fate let us be with that person again?. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥
"I am the father of the twins, right?" he asked while keeping his eyes on her without blinking. Cali looked away and didn't say a thing. She was paralyzed to the spot, the menacing aura of Perci holding him in a tightening grip. "Damn it! Answer me!" She jolted when Perci shouted and threatened her with dead eyes. She spits on him, but Perci didn't mind it. He grinned and wiped his face on her clothes. "Why are you hiding my child from me?!"He is pinning her much more aggressively than before. She laughed and met his cold eyes, "Stop hallucinating!"
He went to the gym to keep his body in shape. After his exercise, he changed into comfortable red t-shirt and humble jersey shorts. He walked Perree into the lobby and kept on barking at Cali.She glared at him while the other two receptionists were admiring Perree's cuteness. "I rarely see you these days sir since ma'am Reese checked out,"says one of the receptionists. He flaunted a Colgate smile that irritates Cali. She rolled her eyes and rested her head on the chair. Her ears are with them but she acted disinterested. "Why is Perree barking on you, Cali? He looks excited to see you." Cali is uneasy because Perci might bring their past which she had hidden and
The mirror invites Perci to see his soul and the condition of his heart, to look past physical features. He sees nothing but a man in his 40's, single and broken. 'I wish I had not met you again.' He broke the mirror; it was the last mirror in his room because the rest is broken. A crack runs across the glass, finding the weaknesses that were once small. From a perfect mirror to something that is unrecognizable. He watches each fragment fly outward until they lie still yet vicious on the Marmol floor. Breaking glass has become his art and comfort. There is nothing more broken than his heart. Those fragments are nothing compared to his heart. He watched them shatter and release just a fragment of the rage that keeps him upright. He stood up and stared at the city lights from the glass wall whil
It has been a week since she received a message from Henry. She wondered what happened to that guy. There is no flower nor good morning from him. She shrugged her shoulders and focused on the kids instead. Today is her rest day, and she has no plan but to spend it with her angels. "Mommy, can you tell us about daddy? We still don't know his name, and we have not seen any picture of him,"says Perxeus while coloring his activity. "Mommy, the teacher told us to describe our daddy, but we don't know anything about him," Calici seconded. Cali's eyes darted around, panicking, looking for a way to evade their question. Her eyes widened in alarm, unable to look away no matter how much she wished to distract and not answer the
"Mom, your phone is vibrating. A guy named Henry texted you a good morning,"says Perxeus while holding her phone. She snatched it and messed up her son's hair."Who is that guy, mom?" "Are you replacing dad because he is with papa Jesus?"Calici pouted and crossed her arms. "Of course not, cupcakes. He is a good friend of mine. I'll introduce him to both of you, soon."She kissed their forehead. That guy who saved her daughter is Henry. Yeah, she finally asked his name. That guy seems like a very private person. Well, she cannot blame him, he is an effin billionaire that is why he is hiding his identity. They had a good talk yesterday, and he is a gentleman? —
The next day, he decided to visit Reese at her unit. He made sure that Cali was on her shift. He only wants to see her, even for a stolen second. He glanced at the information desk and prepared to be hurt again when their eyes met, only for Cali to look away.The same pain lingers on his heart; whether Cali is glaring at him or not looking at all, nothing much changes. He walked past her and went straight to the elevator. He glanced at Reese and thought that everyone around him need not know about Cali. "Smile," says Reese. She uses her two fingers to move Perci's lips. "I’m not in the mood, I came here because Liah and Albert want to throw a party at your place." "Was it because of the receptionist named Cali?” He looked away an
Perci was busy with C.M Industry, but Cali still visits his mind often. Just like today, he had stopped reviewing the ratings of the company. He stared at their scratched wedding pictures; no matter how many times he folds it and throws it, he only ends up picking it again. When the investigator sent it to him, he printed it and kept it. He closed his eyes and hurt himself again by stabbing Cali's last word to him. It hurts more than a stab from a sharp object. Cali's words are not just a knife but also a poison that is slowly killing him. "It's because I do not want to cross paths with you ever again. So, please leave me alone. Forget that we had been together for almost two years." He has this misty-eyes that is hiding a tear which he does not want to be fre
Reese had a good night's sleep thanks to Perci’s effort in giving a comfortable place to stay. She stood up when her phone rang. Ceci is on the other line, obviously to ask if Perci did come to the airport to escort her. "Reese, did Perci escorted you?" "Yes, Auntie."Her hunch is right. "How are you guys doing?” "We had a small talk yesterday and he told me that he used to marry a woman named Cali but they had separated six years ago." The other line was filled with dead air until Ceci broke the silence."Yes, that woman he married eloped with another man.”
