Chapter 25: The TourVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewI got a good dream last night. I was dressed in a night gown and I was walking on a path full of flowers. And Trevor is waiting for me in the far corner. He was smiling sweetly at me but then I woke up and I close my eyes again. I tried to sleep one more time but failed to recreate my dream right from the start. May mga munting ngiti ang naglalaro sa labi ko. Is it possible that Trevor is now opening up to me? That must progress.At kahit gaano pa kaganda ang bungad ng araw ko ay ikinasama naman ng loob ko dahil tapos na ang aking one week suspension. I am back in the University and need to finish my damn degree."It's you! Akala ko ay namamalikmata lang ako. Hindi ko inaasahan na makikita kita rito." Napatingin ako sa aking taas kung sino ang nagsalita."Timotheo!" Masiglang bati ko dito. Walang pag alinlangan siyang umupo sa may tabi ko at inilapag ang dala niyang salad."Fancy meeting you here in the cafeteria. Isn't this the firs
Chapter 26: Cold and BlueVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewTrevor sings from his heart. That's an irrefutable fact. Kaya naman sa tuwing kumakanta ito ay napakaganda talagang pakinggan. I felt so many emotions in his words. That's why you'll just keep on listening for more. Asking for more. And Trevor only looks so free when he sings.The five of them make a good harmony together. Focus na focus sila sa kanilang ginagawa kaya. Nang ibalik ko ang tingin ko kay Trevor, napansin kong hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin niya pinuputol ang pagtitig niya sa akin. It felt so hot all of the sudden.But then I realized, Trevor and I are in a push-and-pull relationship. But I'm not going to settle in that kind of relationship. I want it clear as daylight. I want him to be mine.He will kiss me when he got a chance and then the next day, it is as if I didn't belong on his world. Hindi ko namalayan na napaka cross arms na ako habang nakataas ang kilay na tumitingin sa kanya habang nag papractice pa rin
Chapter 27: The OpeningTrevor Dmitri's Point of ViewThis woman is incorrigible. She's always up for the challenge, thrill, and the unknown."Why are you grinning?""Nothing,""Tell me, please."I pinned her to the bed and give her a little kiss on her lips. Why is she always so curious?Pinagmasdan ko ang buong mukha ni Victoria. Ganito ba ito kaganda dati pa? I don't really remember looking at her this close or did I even bother looking at her? Napailing na lang ako habang pinagmamasdan pa rin ang buong mukha niya. It's so hard not to look at her now that we're so close to each other.When did she ever become so beautiful like this? I wonder. Her face becomes so mature and looks like exactly a Stanislaski. Her features are the same as her family. With her striking eyes, it's the same with Nikos. The roundness of her face is like Clevon's. No doubt. Victoria Abbel is really a Stanislaski. Ang pinagtataka ko lang ay siya lang ang katangi-tanging maingay sa kanila. She's so loud and a
Chapter 28: RaindropsVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewI woke up feeling refreshed and hopeful. I'm still naked while lying on his bed. Tanging comforter lang ang tumatabon sa katawan ko. Tumingin ako sa tabi ko at hanggang ngayon ay natutulog pa rin si Trevor.We didn't do it once, or twice. We actually did three rounds before we collapsed in bed and decided to sleep. I'm still grinning from ear to ear. Trevor was inside of me and I want to feel him again but we were both tired.Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa kanya para hindi siya magising. I leaned forward and stared at his sleeping face.His mouth is pressed into thin line, kaya kitang-kita ko ang pagka heart-shaped ng kanyang labi. His lips are really pinkish and when he's kissing me I can feel their plumpness. His eyebrows are really thick and when he frowns, naeemphasized talaga ang kilay nito. And his eyelashes are kinda long, seems like he got eyeliner on. I love his eyes.I removed some strands of his hair on his forehead and pus
Chapter 29: The BraceletVictoria Abbel's Point of View"I love that look on your face. Full of dread and misfortunes.""Shut up, Theo!" Nabuhayan lang ako ng loob nang makita ko si Theo na may dala ng order naming dalawa. It's been two days. Dalawang araw na hindi kami nagkita ni Trevor. Nang maihatid niya ako sa aming bahay ay agad din itong umalis nang hindi man lang nagpapalit ng kanyang damit. Now, there's no contact from him! Napaka unfair talaga ng mundo. Kapag nakaramdam ka ng sobrang kasiyahan ay katumbas naman nito ay sobrang kalungkutan!Mula ngayon kasi ay pinagiisipan ko pa rin ang sinabi niya sa akin ng gabing iyon. Who is he to talk about my worth? I mean what he told me was perfectly on point but this is my decision. I decided to wait for him, what's wrong with that? Baka ang gusto lang niyang iparating sa akin ay hinding-hindi darating ang araw na magugustuhan niya ako. And I must be lying if I didn't break from his words. He's always hurting me. Hindi naman dahil ara
Chapter 30: The PromiseVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewIt was already dark outside when Theo and I decided to leave the hospital. Doon ko rin napagaalaman na siya ang lalaking nakausap ko sa cabinet. Small world, huh?I also told him that I'll give his bracelet back once I get it to my room. He told me to take my time.Tinago ko talaga iyon nang mapulot ko ang bracelet. I just want to keep it so I am motivated that once I come back, I will prove that Trevor is still the one. Pero mukhang malabo na yata itong mangyari. Now that he wanted me to stop.Theo decided to give me a lift to the house. Wala rin naman akong dalang kotse kaya pumayag na lang ako sa suggestion niya. Inside his car, we talked about nonsense stuffs and it was full of laughter. When we reached the house, nagulat na lang ako dahil nakita kong nakatayo si Trevor sa gate ng bahay. He was just standing there, wearing a black coat and a mask. And when Theo parked his car, nakasunod ang tingin niya sa kotse."Omg!" Napahaw
Chapter 31: The CodeTrevor Dmitrí's Point of ViewI run my fingers through the thick hank of my wet hair. The droplets are rolling down to my cheeks. Nakakaramdam na rin ako ng matinding pagkalamig dahil sa basang mga damit ko. Even my underwear is wet!Napailing na lang ako sa aking sarili habang inaalala ang nangyari kanina. Naligo lang naman kaming dalawa sa ulan at kahit ilang beses akong tumanggi ay alam kong pipilitin lang ako ni Victoria na lumabas.I felt something building up inside my nose and I started to sneeze. Oh, God! The concert is just around the corner and I can't be sick now. But what else can I do? I can't refuse Victoria Abbel.Her image started to flash in my mind like a panorama. And it's true, she's quite charming. At her age, she's such a femme fatale type of person.I never felt good being with a woman. The moment that we've done it, it was good. Far from good actually. Alam ko rin na hindi siya makapaghintay itanong kung ano ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya. I
Chapter 32: See Me NowVictoria Abbel Stanislaski's Point of View"Why are you all looking at me like that?" I clutched my chest. I can feel my whole body shaking from madness. Kahit ngayon ay nahihirapan na rin akong huminga.My brothers' faces are all blurry because of the tears."Cainn, I don't understand you." Whenever Cainn looked at me, it was always annoyed. Na para bang konti na lang ay magkakasalubong na ang kilay niya. Pero ngayon, iba ang paraan nang pagtingin niya sa akin. It was soft. He's giving me a pitying look and I almost want to smack his face with my fist."Our family wasn't ruined, Victoria. You are the only one thinking that way! I'm so tired of you always blaming us." Cainn glanced at me and turned to Damien.I tried to squeeze my eyes shut and try not to let it sink in."I still don't understand." Nanghihinang sabi ko sa kanila habang umiiling. Napahawak na rin ako sa may sofa dahil kahit ang ay bumibigay na rin.The tears begun to slip out of my eyes, no matte
