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 POV I 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 and my sister's flight at nine. I felt a little groggy but I need 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 live stream, I realized she sounded like Jeyah. "Oh, my God! Could it be possible that Jewel is Jeyah?", I uttered while I rinsed the soap on 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 I d
Jeyah's POV It was already noontime and I already felt very hungry especially that I haven'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 ears that made me startled. I haven't noticed 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'
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 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 on 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 need to focus on my studies, especially that my dad was
Darren's POVI told my friends about "Jewel" and like me, they were also interested to know her.But where on earth, could I ever find this woman? I don't know her face, not even her real name. Well, I only knew her age and some of her likes and dislikes. She did not tell me where she lives but she only said, she is currently schooling as a 4th-year college student at a certain university in Quezon. The same with me, because I am also in the 4th year. But what university she is going to? There are a lot of schools and universities here in Manila, so how could I find her?At school...My friends and I used to hang out during our vacant time in the school's cafeteria. So one time, we were having a food trip and while busy throwing jokes at one another, I spotted someone sitting alone in the corner. She was eating a burger, while busy reading something and I guessed it was a book. For the first time, someone caught my attention. I stared at her for a long time, because honestly, she is r
Jeyah's POVI went inside my room after having our dinner. And as usual, my brother was asking me why I came home late. He told me not to spend the night on the road, since I am a girl, and it's not safe for me to be alone at night time. He's right anyway. It's for my own good that's why he is so protective of me.I was sitting on the bed with my back leaning on the headboard while reviewing my lessons. And most of the time, when I'm studying, I used to turn off my phone to avoid any disturbance or interruption. After studying my lessons, I went to my music room to prepare myself for my live stream. Yes, I'm a streamer on three platforms. And if you want to ask what kind of streamer I am? Well, I am a singer. But no! I'm not a professional singer. I just want to sing because this is my passion. I'm not streaming to earn money, but just for some sort of relaxation. Starting from 8:30 in the evening until 9:30, I stream on the first platform, then from 9:30 to 10:30, on the second platf
