Paul’s POV “I’m fine,” I said when Josh held my hand to help me. We’re currently here in the hospital. I don’t really know what happened last night, I just woke up lying here already. I called Aeron and Josh instead of calling Bavina because I don’t want her to get worried at me. I grabbed my phone. “Sh*t!” I cussed with my low voice when I saw that Bavina called and texted me many times. “We kept on telling you that you shouldn’t drive when it’s raining because that is what will happen to you but you’re always being stubborn,” Josh scolded me. “Bruh, I’m okay,” I answer as I tapped his shoulder. I sat on the hospital bed and read her texts. “Even though it’s midnight, she was still awake, asking us if we have a news about you. Even though we wanted to tell her the truth, we couldn’t do anything. You, as*hole! My conscience is killing me! You should treat us somewhere nice, I’m trying to live my life better, but you’re making me lie!” Aeron complained that made me laugh. “We’r
“Ouch!” I lied on bed again when I felt that something is tearing on my head and my uhm… down there. I held my head, I winced when I tried to move my legs. Despite the pain I’m feeling, I forced myself to stand up but I suddenly grabbed the blanket when I noticed that I’m not wearing anything. Wait… What the actual fudgee bar happened? I suddenly remember what happened last night. Did I… How?! Wait, I can’t imagine it! Me?! Who was virgin?! Became wild last night?! Aaaa! This was the first time that I attended party and wore uncomfortable dress, this is also the first time that I… Aaaaa! “Good morning, babe.” I turned my eyes on the door when it suddenly opened. I looked away when I saw his smile. Is that a smile or smirk? “I cooked noodles first, just in case you have a hangover. But if you don’t want to eat this, you can eat me,” he says. “Get out,” I say without looking at him. “Wow, that was so sweet, thank you for saying that inside my own condo,” he sarcastically says
I’ve been thinking of revealing myself now that I have no reason to hide. I want to face the thing that I fear the most. I think I also deserve to be appreciated by many people, not just my pieces, but the actual person who’s writing those pieces. “Okay, are you guys ready?” our prof asks. The others are still complaining but the others are excited, of course that includes me. Today is the last day of our class before we take our vacation, and today is also the day we’re going to read our pieces in front of the class. Actually not only in front of the class because there are students that are watching us from the outside of our room, which is kind of scary, but this is the day… “Who wants to volunteer?” our prof asks. Janine raised her hand, so she’s the one who went in front. I looked around to find Paul but he’s still not here. I told him to go here since I have a surprise for him. I sighed before I looked at Janine we she started to read it. A lot of our classmates volunteere
“Are you okay?” I look at Janine when she spoke. I actually invited her to join me to buy a gifts for my family. I also want to talk to her about Tacia. I smile, “Yeah, I’m just thinking of something,” I answer as I look at my foods we ordered. “How does it feel to be Seafly?” she asks, I tilt my head to look at her again. She’s looking at me with curiousity. “What do you mean?” “I mean… You’re trending on social media. You’re more popular than me, so how’s the feeling?” she asks. I shrugged, “I don’t know? I never dreamed to be famous, I just want to be appreciated.” “Honestly I really don’t read, I read some of your qoutes before since it was on my feed, and I know that it’s yours because of the penname. I know Seafly but I’m not a reader, and I never imagined you to be her,” she says while her face is still look shock that made me laugh a little. I can say she’s different from what I was thinking before. “You have everyone’s attention, I won’t get shock if Tacia whom have
“Call me when you arrived there, okay?” Shia reminded me, I nodded. “Let me know when you get there,” Paul says, I nodded. I grabbed my bags that Paul is carrying. They took me here in the bus station, even though Paul wanted to go there with me, he can’t do anything because he have something to discuss with his Dad. “I’m going now,” I say. They both nodded at me. I gave Paul a peck kiss on his lips before I turn around. “Hey, how about me?” Shia asks, I turned my head to look at Shia and raise my ring finger to her before I get in the bus. *** After 4 hours of ride, I finally arrived in our province. The trees in the surroundings are filled with christmas lights. I smiled when I felt the wind hug my body, this is what province feels like. I feel like I’m breathing freely. Even though I go here twice or thrice a year, I always feel that I’m safe here. I sat on the long chair while I’m waiting for my Dad to fetch me here in the plaza. I smiled when I look at the church in fron
“What are you doing here?” I ask when I went outside of our house to see him. “I told you I missed you,” he answers, I rolled my eyes. I pulled him and we went inside my room because I’m afraid that my parents might see him. I’m glad that Shayne is not here since she went to her friend’s house. “Is this your room?” he asks while he’s looking around, I just nodded. “How did you know my address?” I ask. “I asked Shia, then I tracked your location,” he says, my eyebrows met. “Did I tell you to go here?” I ask. He smiled sweetly, “My girlfriend is so sweet,” he says sarcastically that made me laugh. He patted the bed beside him, so I sit beside him, he hugged me while he’s sniffing my neck. I smiled. He looks like a kid. “You missed me that much?” I ask while laughing, he nodded while he’s sniffing my neck. I felt his tongue licking my neck, I pushed him a little. “Are you insane? They might see us!” I say. He chuckled before he stood up to close the door. “Shall we?” he asks a
“Whoah, are you serious? That’s for Bavina? What did you see to her? That’s insane!” Shayne says that made Paul laugh. “Actually I never planned to release that song. I wrote that but at the same time, I want her to listen to this song, only her because I wrote the song for her only,” he says, “But since you’re her sister, I think there’s nothing wrong if I let you listen to it,” he added. “Aren’t you feel ashamed that you rejected him?” Shayne asks me. “You’re a gossiper,” I say that made him pout. “I know something to play from your songs,” Shayne says. “Really? Can you play it?” Paul asks. Shayne nodded before she get the guitar from Paul. We spent an hour jamming while we’re waiting for my parents. Usually they get home by 6pm and let their workers do their job until 12am. “I thought you’re going to spend the christmas with your Dad?” I ask while he’s playing with my hair from behind. We’re currently here in my room, waiting for 12am to welcome the christmas. “He told me t
“Take care on your way,” Dad reminded us as we went outside of our house. “Visit here again next time, Paul,” Mom spoke to Paul, he smiled. We’re going back to Maynila now and celebrate the new year there with our friends. “Are you still mad?” Shayne asks him that made me and Paul laugh. “Does he looks like he’s mad? He was just so dramatic,” I say that made both of them frown. “Off you go to get in Maynila earlier. Take care,” Mom says, we both nodded. “Take care as well, if you need anything, just call me,” Paul reminded them. “No, you don’t have to worry, Paul. We appreciate your offer but we’re still earning and alive,” Dad joked, Paul laugh. “And healthy,” Dad and Mom says, I smiled. “We’re going now,” he says before he hugged my parents. *** “What do you think about them?” I ask while we’re still on our way. He glanced at me. It’s getting dark outside, it seems like we’re going to stay the night in his condo since we might get there at 8pm. The traffic is so heavy ear
I smiled when I saw Aeron and Josh, they are going to stay here to welcome the new year.“Uncle Aeroooon!” Pauline shouted before she run towards Aeron.It’s been days but it feels like they knew each other for so long because Pauline is really close with Josh and Aeron already.We’re currently here in our rooftop while waiting for the new year. It’s 11pm already but Pauline is still jolly.“We’re here, b*tches!” Janine shouted while walking towards us.She went to me and hug me.“You’re overreacting again, Janine!” Shia complains.“Why do you care?! Mind your own business!” Janine fired back, I laugh a little.They walk towards Josh‘s and Aeron’s direction since the beers are there already to celebrate the new year. I stopped when I saw who arrived next.He smiled at me.“Hi,” he says, I smile.“Aren’t you mad?” I ask, he laugh as he shakes his head.“I’m happy for you, Bavina. You know that I have nothing more to ask but to see you happy,” he says, I smiled and hugged him.“Ethan, I
“I won, Janine. Give me the half million!” Shia says.“Me too!” Josh and Aeron says, I raised my eyebrow.“Bavina! Why did you betray me?! If you didn’t comeback to him, I should’ve won!” Janine complains to me. My eyebrows arched.“We had a bet if you two will go back to each other. Since you came back to each other, me, Shia, and Josh are the winner,” Aeron explains, I glared at them.“You’re not a kid anymore!” I scolded them but they ignored me.After I thought wisely if I could accept him again, the four made a bet already. Wow, they are a good friends!We told them about our relationship already, everyone is happy, except for Janine who lost the bet.“There’s no back-out on this group, Janine!” Aeron teased Janine. She frowns.“Give me your bank accounts, half million is just coins for me. Do you want own land? Resort?” she asks to the three that made us laugh.“I want airplane!” Josh answers that made us laugh again.“I want boyfriend!” Shia yelled.“You won’t get a boyfriend!”
I suddenly stood up when I heard Pauline’s loud cry from our room, I put my clothes on immediately as I run to her.“Mommy!” I hugged her when I saw her red face.“What happened?” I ask while I’m wiping her tears.“I thought you and Daddy left me here,” she answers while crying, I hugged her again.“Mommy and Daddy slept on Uncle Josh and Uncle Aeron’s room, sorry,” I say.He wasn’t contented of what happened in the bathroom last night and we had a round two on the bed. Because of tiredness, I fell asleep there!“Stop crying, Mommy is here,” I comfort her.“Where’s Daddy?” she asks.“I’m going to call him, stay here, okay?” I utter, she nodded.Paul is still sleeping.“Hey, mister, wake up!” I say as I removed his blanket.My eyes widen when I saw his thing. That’s how big his thing is?! It became more big than before!I notice his look at me, I look away as I turned around.“Get dress, your daughter is waiting for you,” I say before I left the room to go to our room.As Paul went in
“Come here,” I spoke to Pauline. She sit in our middle.I look at Paul, I can see that he’s nervous but I gave him a smile to calm him.“Do you still remember how I described your Father?” I ask Pauline.She nodded, “He’s a singer, handsome, and loyal.”“What do you want to do now that you know some details of your Father?” I ask, she look at the sky like she’s thinking of the answer. I glanced at Paul, his eyes are getting red while he’s on Pauline’s back.“I want to see him and ask him why he’s not here. I’m five years old already but I haven’t seen him,” she answers with her low voice.“Are you mad at him?” I ask.She shakes her head, “No, Mommy. If Daddy has a reason, I don’t think I’ll be mad at him. Does Daddy still love us?”I slowly nodded, “He loves us, baby.”“Where is he now?” she asked while looking at me. I stared at his face.“B-behind you…”She turned her head immediately to see it, she stand up when she saw Paul.“P-Pauline…”Pauline’s tears fell from her eyes while st
Paul’s POVI couldn’t sleep last night because of what Pauline said while she’s sleeping. I can hear her voice despite the silence in our room. Her calling me Daddy makes me feel like she’s not mad at me despite what I’ve done from her and her Mother.I’ve been wanting to tell her that I’m her Father but I’m still scared, what if she won’t accept me? I’ve been wanting to hear her calling me ‘Daddy’ but the moment I’ve heard her, it felt like a dream, and instead of being happy, I felt something inside me aching and feel sorry for her especially for Bavina.Hearing my daughter calling me Daddy didn’t make me happy, it made me determined to prove to Bavina that I won’t run away from her again, and this time… I will be the great and happiest Father and husband for the both of them.I just want both of them to accept me, I have nothing more to ask.I sigh loudly. I look at my phone when it rings. The center is calling me again.“Hello, sir? Do you ha---”“No, I don’t have. Just tell him
Everything became clear to me because of what Aeron and Josh told me.He have been watching me all the time while I’ve been cursing him for making me live in h*ll. While I was hating him for abandoning me and the child, he was having a hard time to see me suffering.I don’t know who’s much worse between us. Him who knew everything from the very start but he just watched me suffer alone or me who didn’t know his side.I sigh loud while I’m looking at Pauline who keeps on giggling because Josh and Aeron are playing with her. Their concert will be later tonight, so they still have time to play with Pauline. Paul didn’t let them go outside for them to watch us and play with Pauline for her not to get bored here.“Mommy! Mommy!” Pauline run towards me when Aeron tried to catch her, she hugged my knee that made me laugh.“Don’t tickle me!” Pauline complains but Josh carried her and put her beside Aeron. I can hear her giggles in the whole room.After an hour, Paul came with our lunch, so I
I opened the door when I heard the doorbell. It seems like Paul is here already since he texted me earlier that he’s going to visit Pauline.I saw his wide smile while he’s holding a cake and gift on his hands, he’s holding a flower as well. I opened the door widely to make him go inside but he handed me the flowers without stepping his feet to go inside.I looked at him, he gave me a this-flower-is-for-you look.“This flower is for my thank you for letting me meet my daughter,” he says, I force myself to smile before I get the flower.He went inside and greeted Pauline. Pauline became loud and jolly when she saw Paul. I watched them talking while Paul is giving his gift to Pauline.They are really alike, Pauline got her cheeks on me but it’s obvious that most of the parts of her face are from Paul.“Mommy, look! He gave me a gift!” Pauline said lively before she raised the gift, I smile and nod my head.I look at the red roses he gave me, I sniffed it to smell the flower which made m
“Mom, we’re going to have a vacation next week for the christmas,” Pauline says, I glanced at her as I smiled and nodded at her.“Oh, that’s good, where do you wanna go? Uncle Dad wants to have a vacation with us,” I say.Ethan is planning to take us somewhere Pauline wants, Ethan told me about it last week.“Mommy, does Uncle Dad likes you?” she asks, I turned my head to see her again. Shia even stopped from doing her reporting.She’s staying here as she feel bored in her condo.“Who said that to you? Uncle Dad is just being kind to us, baby,” I answer before I pinch her cheeks.“Then why did he told you to marry him?” she asks innocently. Shia and I look at each other. I glared at her when she’s forcing herself not to laugh.“Go and play now, baby,” I say without answering her question.I throw the ballpen I’m holding to Shia that made her laugh. Shia and Janine already know that Ethan liked me, they just stayed silent before because me and Paul were together back then.After a few
We’re watching Pauline playing with other kids here in the park. They are running while they are playing, I can hear her laughs and giggles from here.“She looks happy,” Paul says.“Yeah, she is,” I answer without looking at him. We’re sitting on a blanket that he brought while we’re on the grass.Yeah, Shia tricked me. She pranked me, only to see my daughter holding Paul’s hand. I don’t know when they started talking and they agreed to do this st*pid thing!I’m a bit guilty about what happened from the past knowing that I know his side now, but I don’t know how to start.“I should bring her more often here, then.” I look at him while he’s looking at Pauline. He turned his head to see me, he smiled at me.”I don’t care if you don’t want to see me, but I want to do everything to make my daughter happy. And I know that this can make you happy too,” he says, I look away.I hugged myself when the wind hugged me, the sky is getting dark, so the others are fixing their things to go home.“
