What About Love? Chapter 24
Jeyah's POV "Bubs! Where have you been? Are you okay?", Clarisse asked, as soon as I went back to the party venue. "Bubs, are you crying?", Angela queried while looking at me intently. "Darren was looking for you awhile ago, bubs. Have you seen each other?", Eduard spoke, while sipping a glass of wine. My other group mates were just silent while waiting for my answer. "Uhm, I went to the rooftop to catch some air and yes, Darren and I met there.", I responded trying to sound natural even if deep inside I am already hurting. A few minutes later, I saw Darren and Bridgette entering the hall. Bridgette just walked straight towards the table in the front and just smirked at me when she passed by at our table. I immediately averted my gaze when I noticed that Darren was staring at me. He doesn't even know how much I've tried to control myself not to burst out in tears. I just kept my eyes on them as Bridgette was a having a chitchat with his mom. After a while, Bridgette stood up and

Jeyah's POV It was close to twelve midnight when the party ended. We were the only one left at the venue, since the visitors had already gone home. "Bubs, are you going to ride with us?", Clarisse asked me. "I'll drive her home, bubs", Darren butted in. "No, it's okay, bubs. I'll just take a taxi", I responded. He stared at me and again, I was lost. "I insist, bubs. Your brother entrusted you to me. Besides, it's almost midnight, and it's not good for you to be going home alone. I averted my gaze at him, because I felt like I was melting already. I felt all the butterflies in my stomach, and I was afraid I could not control my feelings anymore. "Okay, guys, let's say goodbye to Aunt Olive, Daphne and Dolly", Angela spoke as she walked towards the direction of Darren's family while we were following behind. "Auntie, we're going home now", Angela said and smiled at Darren's mom. "Mom, I'll drive Jeyah home. Uhm, I already called our driver mom", Darren said, then kissed his moth

Jeyah's POV No matter how much I wanted to close my eyes but I really could not sleep. Bridgette had ruined my mood. She only called me at this late hour just to tell me that she and Darren were already dating. The hell I care! I jumped out of bed and went to my music room. I wanted to be relieved from what I'm feeling right now, so I need the healing power of music. I was also thinking it's been a while since I haven't done live streaming. After setting up everything, I started my audio live stream. In just a matter of seconds, I already had plenty of viewers who were actually my avid fans and supporters. They told me in the chat how they missed my live stream. It was actually overwhelming on my part to receive such messages. I thought nobody would visit my live stream since I haven't done live streaming for two months already, Some of them asked me to reveal my face but I just told them it's not yet the right time. Well, in the first place, I was not doing a live stream for pop

Darren's POVI was awakened by the sound of my alarm clock. It was already seven in the morning, but I still felt sleepy. I still wanted to close my eyes, but I remembered Mom's and my sister's flight at nine. I felt a little groggy, but I needed to take them to the airport, so I hurriedly stood up and took a quick shower. I closed my eyes as the warm water touched my skin. But suddenly, I remembered Jewel's voice while she was singing my song request, "What About Love." Actually, her voice was a little familiar to me. And when I heard her talking on her livestream, I realized she sounded like Jeyah. "Oh, my God! Could it be possible that Jewel is Jeyah?" I uttered while I rinsed the soap off my body with water.But I was thinking, how could it be possible when Jeyah told me she was not good at singing? I shook my head and grunted. Perhaps I just missed Jeyah, so I was having this kind of thought. I took my towel and wrapped it around my waist as I stepped out of the bathroom.After

Jeyah's POVIt was already noontime, and I already felt very hungry, especially that I hadn't taken a heavy breakfast. Right after my class in my major subject, I went to the library to borrow some books, but I enjoyed reading, and I did not notice it was already twelve o'clock."Bubs, my stomach is already rumbling. Let's have our lunch now," Clarrise whispered in my ear, which made me startled. I didn't notice her when she came in. She chuckled upon seeing my reaction, and all I could do was pinch the side of her torso."Ouch, sorry, bubs," she laughed even more.I smiled while glaring at her. Then, together we went out of the library. As usual, we headed towards the school cafeteria. I saw from afar our groupmates, who were already there, waving at us."Hi guys, sorry we're late," Clarrise said and pulled a chair."Hello, bubs, well, we thought you would not be taking your lunch," Angela spoke.I looked at Darren, who was just silent as if he was not in a good mood. I know there's s

Darren's POVOur college Achievement Day had finally arrived, and everyone felt excited. The first day started with a parade followed by an opening ceremony. In the evening would be the Literary and Musical Contest, and the remaining days would be dedicated to ballgames.It was already 7:00 pm, and my groupmates and I were settled in the university gym, ready for the evening's events. But Jeyah was still not around."Bubs, where's Jeyah?" I asked Clarrise, hoping she had some information."I don't know, bubs. I tried calling her, but she didn't answer," Clarrise replied, her eyes roaming around. "Maybe she is on her way, don't worry."Jeyah's absence made me uneasy. I giddily looked at my watch, and it was almost 7:30. The program would start at 8:00, but she was nowhere to be found. I took my cellphone and tried contacting her, but her phone just kept on ringing."Bridgette's here, but I think she hasn't noticed us yet," Eduard whispered."Just ignore her. There are so many people ar

Jeyah's POVI was sitting alone in the school's cafeteria at that time when I heard a group of students laughing while teasing someone in the group. Everyone around in that place was looking at them, especially the girls. I landed my gaze on them since I heard someone speaking, "Guys, the group of Darren is here!"These guys were sitting opposite to each other at a table not far from me. And as I counted them, they are ten—five males and five females. Unintentionally, my gaze landed on someone who was sitting at the center. My eyes were locked on him as he was also staring at me. And oh my God! He is undeniably handsome. He has those deep and expressive blue-grey eyes and finely chiseled features that could make any woman go crazy over him. He was wearing a dark polo that was rolled up to his elbow.But to my surprise, he has similarities with Ryle. I felt the pain creeping gradually inside my heart when I remembered him. How could I ever forget my first love? I quickly set aside those

Darren's POVSince I went through the stages of puberty, I had this feeling of wanting to be adored by girls. And these expectations continued to run through me until I went to college. This shallow craving to be the women's center of attraction was probably the reason why I refused to get into commitments and relationships. I have a lot of friends from all walks of life. But a serious girlfriend? I did not experience it during my first three years in college.I am a half-French and a half Filipino, but I was born and grew up in the Philippines, the reason why I can speak Tagalog fluently, but I only have a little knowledge of the French language. I was very loyal to UP Diliman because I studied in this institution since elementary. But when my family decided to move to my father's place, for some business matters, I left the Philippines and continued my college studies in France.My two years stay in France, was quite boring because I needed to focus on my studies, especially because

Darren's POVI couldn't explain the happiness I felt when I saw Jeyah entering the hall. She is so pretty in her powdered blue maxi dress, and I couldn't help but stare at her for a long time. I wanted to approach her, but I was a little hesitant, and I don't know why. She went to my direction and greeted me, but my group mates were good at teasing when they said, Jeyah should hug me. I know she was not feeling comfortable, but she pretended she wasn't affected by it and just for a few seconds I felt her warm embrace. Then she handed to me her birthday gift. I wasn't expecting to receive anything from her because her presence alone is enough to complete my day.I made an excuse from my group mates and went back to where my family were seated. Then, I gave a 'go' signal to start the program."Who was that woman, chum?", Dolly asked me, softly thumping my arm."I guess, she is special to you. Was she the reason, why you were not in the good mood earlier?", Daphne butted in."Maybe, you

Jeyah's POV All their attention was set on me as I came inside the party venue. I noticed my group mates sitting near the entrance door, probably waiting for my arrival. My gaze landed on Darren's eyes, and I was already melting. I feel so conscious when they were all looking at me as if I am the VIP of this occasion, especially when my friends approached me with a grinning face. "Jeyah, bubs! It's good to see you!", Clarisse exclaimed and hugged me. "We're glad you're here bubs, and we are now complete!", Angela softly chuckled and gave me a hug as well while others gave me a high five. "You look so pretty, bubs", Karen complimented. "Thank you!" "The birthday celebrant is there!", Angela spoke while looking at Darren's direction. And again my heart was beating so fast, when our eyes met. But I need to conceal what I truly feel and act normally. Though, I was nervous, but I need to approach him to give my birthday greetings. "Hi bubs, happy birthday! I'm sorry I'm late!", I s
What About Love? Chapter 21
Jeyah's POVI woke up when my phone was ringing. I'm sure it was a call from messenger and probably coming from my group mates. I reached for my phone and when I noticed that it was a group call, I just ignored it and did not join them. An internal conflict between my mind and heart occurs and I don't know what am I going to do. My mind says, that even I'll not be around at Darren's birthday party, still it's okay for him. But my heart says if I will not attend, he will look for me and will become upset.Suddenly, I heard a soft knock on the door so I stood up and opened it. My brother's compelling aura caught my sight. "Good morning, sweetie! How's your sleep?", Andre asked as he entered the room and sat on the couch near my bed."I'm fine, boo", I responded softly."You seem uneasy, sweetie? Are you okay? Is there something wrong?", he asked again."Nothing boo. I'm fine", I replied casually."I know you're not okay. What is it? You know I won't stop, not until you will tell me the
