What About Love? Chapter 8
Darren's POVI went home quite not feeling well. I really felt bad about what happened the whole day. It all started with my dad's call, then Bridgette's stupid kiss, and Jeyah's acceptance as a new member of our group. Tssk...As soon as I went inside my room, I slumped down on the soft mattress and focused my eyes on the ceiling. I heaved a deep sigh and stood up to take a hot shower for my muscles to be relaxed and for me to get enough sleep. I closed my eyes as I feel the warm water dripping into my skin. But damn! Can't take her out of my mind. No! the other side of my brain scoffed. Jeyah is already a member of our group, so I need to suppress this feeling I have for her. I pressed my hands against the wall as her vision kept on lingering in my mind. Her pink lips, smooth and rosy cheeks, and those dark expressive eyes made me lost for quite some time. Her innocent and cute smile is indeed captivating that I will never get tired of staring at it. I wanted to feel her petite and

Darren's POVAfter our last class in the afternoon, Angela, Eduard, and I went to the school oval as our agreed meeting place. Other group members were already there sitting on the benches, laughing while throwing jokes and funny stories. We were like this ever since, and we treat each other as sisters and brothers. As we came towards them, my eyes immediately looked for Jeyah but she was not there yet."Hey bro, bubs!", I greeted them all and we gave each other an exuberant high five."Jeyah and Clarisse are not yet around bro. But I guess, they're on their way now", Andrew spoke.I just nodded and sat beside them. But suddenly, Bridgette appeared together with her group of friends."Hi everyone, hello my love!", she said and was about to hug me, but I quickly stood up and dodged away. I was just trying to control myself because I don't want to ruin my mood. No! not this time."Are you guys wanna join us for a night out?", Bridgette asked, showing her flirtatious smile. Her other f

Jeyah's POVI did not know that I had fallen asleep inside Darren's car when he was driving me home. I was only listening to some of the songs played on the stereo when my eyes became droopy. The last song that I heard before I fell asleep was "What About Love" by Lemar. I remembered I asked him if he likes that song. He replied it was his favorite and he would be happy if anyone could sing it for him. After that, I did not know what happened next.I just came back to my senses when I heard a sweet voice, whispering in my ear.I frowned and when I opened my eyes, Ryle's face was caught before my sight."Ryle!", I exclaimed as I stared at him."Hey, are you okay Jeyah?", Darren asked me, with his voice a little confused.I rubbed my eyes and looked intently at him. It was Darren. I realized we were already at the gate of our house."I'm sorry for waking you up, Jeyah. I could have just carried you. But I am just worried what could be your brother's impression if he would see me carry

Jeyah's POVI suddenly woke up when my brother was softly knocking on the door. I stood up and stretched my arms. I flipped the doorknob and opened it."Happy Valentine's Day, sweetie", my brother hugged me as he handed to me two bouquets of flowers. One bouquet of pink roses and another bouquet of red roses.He stepped inside my room and sat on my bed. I sat beside him while holding the flowers."Thank you boo. Happy Valentines'!' I responded."Uhm, why there are two bouquets boo? I know these pink roses are coming from you, but who sent the red roses?", I asked curiously, smelling the sweet fragrance of the flowers."Hmm... someone delivered this a while ago. Why don't you read the card attached to it, so you will know, your secret admirer?", Andre spoke with a teasing smile on his lips. I'm sure he knew already who could be the sender.Yeah, I forgot the flower card. I opened it and there it reads,"Happy Valentine's baebubs. See you around."I smiled after reading the message, kno

Jeyah's POVDarren's eyes were glued at me as I went down the stairs. He stood up and reached his hand for me."You look perfectly beautiful baebubs", Darren complimented."Thank you, I responded, averting my gaze from him.I was a little shy because my brother was also there in the sala, secretly observing us with a teasing smile on his lips. I glared at him and gave him a warning gesture. Gladly, he got what I meant to say and he stopped teasing me around."Please take care of my sister, bro", Andre said in a pleading tone of voice."Yes bro, I will", Darren responded with a gentle smile."Bye boo!", I uttered and hugged my brother."Bye sweetie. Enjoy the party. Take care", Andre replied and kissed my cheek."Enjoy also the party later, boo! Take care", I responded. Then, Darren and I left the house after I said goodbye to nanny.I couldn't help but feel uneasy while I was sitting beside him. He was so handsome in his navy blue long sleeve that was folded up to his elbow. It was ha

Darren's POVI did not know what came to my mind when I decided to be the escort of Jeyah at the Valentine's Party held in the UP campus. I never had done like this before. I mean, it's always the ladies who asked me to be their escort. It sounds conceited, but that's true. It's because I never experienced admiring someone in my entire life. It's always me who is given much attention and it's always me who is adored and loved. That was all I ever wanted from the beginning.But since I met Jeyah, everything turned the other way around. I'm the one who is giving her much attention. I drove her home, I called her, and I even gave her a bouquet of flowers through a delivery. And most of all, I offered to be her escort at this Valentine's Party. I find all of these very unusual.And the fact that she is with me now, gives me an overwhelming emotion.It's my first time feeling this way. Is this what they called 'love'?Until the sweet music echoed on the dance floor. I offered my hand to he

Jeyah's POVAs soon as I entered my room I slumped down on the soft mattress, covering my face with a pillow, and burst into tears. I thought that joining the party would make my day, but I was totally wrong. It was gone wrong more than I ever expected to happen.Why did Darren kiss me, yet he kissed another woman? What was that? A joke?I don't have any right to feel this way. Darren and I are just friends. But I am really hurt and I couldn't do anything about it.Suddenly, I heard steps coming into my room and I know it was my brother Andre."Sweetie, are you still awake? he spoke and flipped the doorknob.I hurriedly wiped my tears away because I'm sure my brother will be worried of me if he sees I'm crying. I stood up and leaned my back on the headboard."Uhm, yes boo", I replied with a casual tone.My brother went closer and sat on my bed."How's the party sweetie? I saw you coming inside", my brother asked while intently looking at me."It's okay boo", I responded trying to hide

Jeyah's POVAfter my class in the afternoon, I fixed my things and bolted out from the room. I told Clarisse that I need to go ahead and couldn't go with the group mates this time because my brother texted me telling me that he already booked a ticket for us to take our flight to South Korea."Oh, so you'll be out of the country for a while bubs?", Clarisse spoke."Yes bubs, we need to be at my mom's wedding or else she would be upset. I already asked permission from our professor bubs, so I think there's no problem anymore. Anyway, I'll be out for only two days. Kindly tell our group mates bubs. Thank you", I said and then left, heading to where I parked my car.In my mind, it's better to stay away from Darren even just for a while and divert my attention to other things so, it's easy for me to forget him. I know I can do it. I need to do it because the feelings I have for him, could never be reciprocated.After I settled the steering wheel, I started the engine and pulled my way hom

What About Love? Chapter 29
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
What About Love? Chapter 28
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
What About Love? Chapter 27
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
What About Love? Chapter 26
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
What About Love? Chapter 25
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 "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
What About Love? Chapter 23
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
What About Love? Chapter 22
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
