Sage brought me to their table. Lorie was nowhere to be found. Only his friend is left. Sage offered me the seat next to him, so there I sat. Jonas faked a cough that made my cheeks burned. With his swearing earlier I’m sure he saw what happened.
"Kaia, aren't you singing?" Livius turned to me. I felt Sage's hand touching my shoulder. His arm was on the ledge of my chair. It was like putting lines on his territory.
Jonas playfully smirked.
"Maybe later ..." he glanced at Mama who was karaoke. I don't want to ruin their moment. Besides, I think I like it better ...
"You want us to duet? I'm good!" Livius suggested that made Sage hissed.
"Silly! There might be an earthquake when you sing!" bara ni Jonas na natatawa.
"I'm ashamed of you! You're good at singing, huh? That's why when you locked up that Crim student, you were ignored! You were so stupid!"
"She has a boyfriend, idiot! So she doesn't touch me because she's loyal to her
"Outside were Livius and Carson. It's eight o'clock so they have to leave. "I nodded. After they left Livius I immediately returned to the room. I lay down on my bed, wishing I could sleep but ended up staring at the wooden ceiling for a long time.After idling for almost an hour, I grabbed my phone. There were messages there from Rose but I didn't open them. I looked at Sage and I's message thread. He still has no reply. If so, he was actually with Tania as Carson said.I sighed bitterly and turned my phone off. I put it on the side table. I tried to sleep again but I still couldn't really sleep.I just went down and mixed Milo. After I drank that, I went back to the room. I thought the hot drink would help me sleep but it didn't.I looked at the wall clock. It's 9:30 PM. Usually, this is the day Sage calls on weekdays. We texted last night. Today I have not received any text from him. Maybe he got tired of it. Who is the man who will just settle
After foundation week I was busy with activities like booths and whatnot. Sage visits me once or twice a week.And I am contented with that. I know he's busy too because he's been here for the last year. I don't even want him to remember me. I am busy in school. I know he also have his own requirements.Even so he never fails to text me every day. He always finds a time to remind me to eat and do my homeworks. He calls me at night, too. That is if we are both idle.I sighed while on stage, helping to decorate there for the Miss Asian College to be held tomorrow.I was asked by my blockmates to represent the Accountancy Department. A professor of ours also asked me about that. But I refused.My interest is not in line with pageants. That's why Rose was our representative. He didn't want to at first because he didn't really participate in such things.But I pushed him because my classmates might still be pressuring me. Aside from that, Rose is
That’s why I can’t be bothered as we set up the booth. Rose was not there because she was preparing for later. But our blockmates were there to help."Your samples, put them there, Frank," I commanded a classmate. He fixed his thick glasses and immediately followed what I said. He looks nervous. He almost spilled the samples. Fortunately, his hand was fast."Hey Frank, you're too obvious!" Rowella laughed."She's dreaming of Kaia!" said a male classmate of mine.Frank bowed and returned to his former position. I rebuked the teasing of my classmates."It's really good and Damian's group isn't here now. Last year, they just messed up the booths," Wena said."Yeah, eh! Damian would have been handsome in case the devil still beats the habit!" Rowella agrees.I did not speak and continued to cut the cardboard. That's also my opinion of Damian. I just really hope we don't cross paths again so that he doesn't mess with me anymore
"Are you comfortable here?" I asked Sage as he sat on the stool I gave him. We were on the side of the booth.I stood in front of him while he looked up at me. I looked at the goods. Rowella is busy with customers. I glanced at the food that was there before turning to Sage."Would you like to eat first? We have dumplings, tempura, squid rolls, hotdogs. Do you eat like that? If not, there is other food in other booths. Do you want to buy me there?""I'm eating, Kaia. But I'm still full. Let's just have lunch together later."I nodded."Can I help you?"Wena and I heard that so they looked at our behavior. Frank and Ivo fix the banner across from the booth."Oh, don't! We can do this! Don't worry, we won't feed your girlfriend to customers!" said Wena and laughed awkwardly.I was about to correct what she said but Sage talked first. I just kept my mouth shut."That's good to hear. Just tell me if you have heavy things to
His forehead creased and looked down on something of under the table. Eventually I realized he was typing on the cellphone because soon I beeped because of the message from him.Sage:Get a proper seat, please. The girls around you are quiet aggressive. You might even be pushed there. I'll surely make them pay for the damages."Shit he's looking again!""Oh my! Shedding panties!"I nodded and kept smiling. I typed a reply.Me:It's fine. I will also be back backstage later. I'm just okay here. Just avoid looking at our direction. They’re just getting more and more lost.Sage:I'm watching you. Maybe you can.I looked at him. He looked at me again. I smiled and shook my head slightly. I put the cellphone in my pocket when the production of the contestants started. Sage seemed inattentive on it, though. I notice that often, he thinks of me. When I couldn't stop myself, I texted him and told him to focus on the
"Oh my god, Kaia! I never thought I would be the first runner up! I mean, did you think that? My first time!" said Rose when she approached me after taking a picture of the other winners. The Miss Asian College remained on the stage, though. Judges and teachers are included."And why didn't you say judge Sage? I was shocked when I saw him among the jurors!""I also do not know.""Come on, let's picture!" he said while handing the cellphone to a student who was there to take pictures of us. I smiled faintly. Then I looked at them Sage. He was looking at me. I heard the laughter of the teachers and it was as if he and your winning woman were being teased.I averted my eyes."Congrats, Rose! You were great too, Kaia!" said Warren as he approached us with Arvic and their other friends. Arvic also brought a bouquet for Rose."Wow! Thank you ha!"I looked up on the stage again. Now they are pushing to picture your winner and Sage. They are
When Friday came, I looked to see if I could go out on Saturday. Fortunately, there are no group outputs to do. I have homework but I can do it on Friday night or maybe on Sunday. It won't take much time.So when I got home, I immediately told Mama about the plan. She didn't go against with it. He just said that we should just be careful on the trip. She also wants to talk to Sage before we travel.I slept happily that night. After I texted Sage to come with me I went to sleep right away. The next morning, I received a text from him. It was said that he was going to travel here. It was sent around 4 AM.I acted and was ready. At eight o'clock Sage arrived, right after I had taken a bath and tidied up. I only wore a white high waist shorts and black shirt. I also capped to avoid the heat.Sage brought coffee and cupcakes so that's all I ate while we were on the trip. I couldn't have breakfast because I didn't want to wait for Sage. Mama talked to him befor
"Wow! That's nice!" I exclaimed when I saw the high lighthouse in front of us.In front of it is a high cliff, marking the beautiful end of El Fuego. The rays of the afternoon sun and the blue sky above reflected in the sea stretching beyond the cliff. It almost looked surreal. Everything felt surreal."Let's go up," Sage said once looking at the lighthouse.When I nodded, he took my hand and guided me into it. I pressed my palm on his to feel more of its warmth as we walked on the stairs of the lighthouse.If I had been amazed before when I was still downstairs, I was even more amazed that I was already upstairs and could almost see everything. My lips parted in amazement. This is beyond wonderful.I gripped on the bannisters as the sharp wind blew my hair. I let you ripple like the sea in the distance."It's nice here, Sage!"Sage leaned against the railing. He raised an elbow there and bowed as he stared at me. My heart was beating
