Harold Lee looked at Kieran after uttering those words. "Hi, Kieran! I didn't know you were here, too." He beamed with a smile.

My back's turned at Kieran so I couldn't see what his reaction was. I didn't want to know, though. Anyways, I know that she's holding onto Bianca's waist, pulling her close to him.

Damn.

"Joshua invited me." Kieran replied curtly. I can hear frustration in his voice. What could be frustrating him? I don't know. Is it because I didn't text him back?

What did he even text me anyway?

Gina looked at me with narrowed and questioning eyes. I shook my head and she smiled at Kieran, fake in nature, of course. "Nice to meet you and your Bianca, Kieran." I know that sarcastic tone.

I heard Bianca enthusiastically greet her happy birthday and hug her. I can only imagine Gina's explosion inside. She must be dying to pull each of her hair out.

Bianca looked at me and smiled. "You're Ashin, right?" She asked and I nodded.<

    Friends.I have always wanted to have a lot of friends. I have never been hurt gaining friends in my life. I have never been this bitter over a friend before. I used to be so happy to have many friends and I am even happier to gain more.But hell, I hated how he easily asked me to become his friend as if it was the most normal thing to happen when he knew the truth about us. We were once lovers. We didn't have the closure we needed for us to end our relationship properly.Or maybe, perhaps, he did have the closure. I didn't.Perhaps, I am a fool for still wishing for him to remember me even though everything is telling that he is not going to. Not in a million years. Not when he’s always with his girlfriend. How can I even expect him to think of him when his hot model girlfriend is right in front of his eyes?I must be crazy!It’s been a week since I last spoke with Kieran and now, I’m going to the office. I didn’t wa

    “What do you want, honey?” Bianca was all over Kieran in front of me. She was a slave for him. Damn, she does everything he wants.I looked down and just focused on my food. I need to eat to be strong. It doesn’t matter if I live with Kieran or not, I just needed to be strong. I needed to be strong for myself. I can’t be so dependent on one person when I’ve lived my life perfectly before he came.How come it happens like that? We are too broken, sometimes, that we tend to forget that once, we have lived perfectly without that person who left us. We were fine with ourselves alone. We were fine with our own group of friends. Until he comes and everything just changes. Then he leaves and everything just comes crashing down. No self-worth. No dignity.“Are you not hungry?” Harold’s voice brought me back to reality.I was thinking too much. I was thinking too deep that I know is not healthy anymore.I look

    Kieran and I stayed inside the restaurant for a few moments more. He waited until my tears all ran dry. To be honest, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to feel. All I know is that I needed to cry my heart out. Even for one last time.“Are you alright now?” Kieran asked me so softly that I think he’s trying to be careful of what he’ll tell me. I believe he’s scared of making me hurt more.I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing, though.I nodded and took a deep breath. “You should forget about this.” I told him.He narrowed his eyes on me. I know he’s very curious but I don’t think it’s the right time to tell him yet. He’s still hasn’t been fully recovered from his amnesia. He may seem to think that he is, but he’s not. He’s still uncertain. I can see it in his eyes.“Ashin,” he held my cheek to make me face him but

    Kieran was not beside me when the morning came. I woke up alone and…wrapped around blankets.I knew I was making a mistake last night. I also know that there’s no one to blame other than myself. I gave in. Just like that I shouldn’t be acting like it is been robbed from me. I was not a virgin anymore before it happened last night but why do I feel like I have just been devirginized then left behind. Hit and run. Why do I feel like I am a victim of hit and run? I don’t even get it.I shut my eyes and remembered everything that happened last night. He came to my unit yearning for me. I know. I can feel it from his kisses, from his touches. I cannot stop myself from asking questions in my mind – questions that I didn’t even verbalize.Does he remember me?Does he remember us?Does he want me back?Does he want us back?I sighed and went straight to the bathroom and tried to live normally.

    My phone is ringing incessantly because Gina is asking me to come with them to the beach. It’s actually the beach resort that Louie is managing. He offered the whole circle that he would pay for our stay in his resort.“No. I don’t want to go.” My words are marked with finality. I don’t want to go. Going there would just mean ninety percent of seeing Kieran and Bianca. I won’t risk for that ten percent of enjoying the resort.“But—”“No.” I couldn’t make her reason out. She’s a daughter of a lawyer. Hell knows no decline when she begins to reason out. “I am going to prepare for my book signing tomorrow.” I replied. “I don’t want to be tired today.”I heard her huff from the other line. I can only imagine her pouting face. “Okay. Okay. I won’t push you to come. But please, don’t be alone inside your apartment. At least

    “I really like your book! You’re the best writer in the world!” One fan exclaimed as I was signing my book that she bought.I chuckled at her. She’s a high-schooler and I might say that she’s in the target of my books. I know how teenagers are so into the concept of love.“Thank you! What’s your name?” I asked her.“Janra.” She replied and I wrote my message for her.“Be good and study hard!” I reminded her and she nodded as she hopped out of the line. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her bubbliness. She reminds me of Gina who’s very bubbly and jolly.The book signing went on for a couple of hours. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who bought my book. Everyone kept saying that I am a good writer. I doubt that though. Were they only got smitten by the fact that I wrote a tragic love affair? You know people always love the words love and pain. They keep s

    My heart didn’t reach its normal beat even after the whole car ride. I’ve been with Kieran before for a longer time than this but I can’t really explain why my heart is beating crazily like this right now. I don’t know what to do.It feels like I’ve already run out of choices and all I can do now is stay…or leave. But I can’t afford to leave him, so I must stay.Kieran glanced at me as we walked inside the restaurant of his choice. I remember this place. This is where we first ate our dinner. If he could remember me now, then did he purposely bring me here?“Are you alright?” He asked me with those dark and addicting eyes.Damn it. How can I even think straight? I wonder if this is how Anastasia Steele felt like when Christian Grey was staring into her eyes. I wonder if she felt the butterflies in her stomach flip around like there was a storm right in there.I nodded even though I know that it

    I woke up with the rays of the sun beaming through my eyes. I couldn’t help but smile as I saw Kieran sleeping soundly next to me. His serene sleeping face will always be my heaven. I’ve always dreamed of this to be happening and right now, I can’t believe it. He’s here. He’s here beside me.I planted a kiss on his forehead before slowly getting up from bed. I don’t want to wake him up yet. He looked so tired when I saw him yesterday so, I want him to rest.I went straight to the kitchen to cook us breakfast when my phone rang. It’s Gina.“Hello?” I answered the call.“Ashin!” Her voice was so deafening I had to move my ear away from the phone. “What is this that I heard?!” She’s still squealing.I narrowed my eyes at him. “What do you mean?” I asked.“Kieran was raising hell to find you!

    “Are you trembling?” Zion asked me as I fixed the cuffs of my suit.I looked at him. Trembling? More like I’m terrified. I have wished and prayed for this moment to come but right now, I cannot feel anything but my heart beating extremely and incredibly fast. I’m nervous…or maybe even more.I glanced at the entrance of the church for more than ten times now, waiting for the bridal car to come. I have never been this scared, too. A lot of things are going inside my mind—things that I don’t ever want to think about.“Ashin’s gonna be here any minute now.” Louie tapped my shoulder as he waved his phone in front of my face, reading Ashin’s message.I shut my eyes and sighed in relief. They don’t know how terrifying it is to wait for the bride. What if she suddenly thinks that she’s not ready for marriage yet? What if she woke up late? What if…hell, I don’t even want to

    “Is she going to be okay?”I wanted to open my eyes but I feel so weak to even move my eye lids. I can feel something on the back of my hand. It must be an IV or anything.“She’s stable now, Mr. Wu.” A foreign female voice said. “We’ll just have to be really careful. Her condition needs continuous monitoring,” she added.Someone lets out a deep sigh as I feel a hand caressing my face. “Thank God!” Kieran breathed as he planted a kiss on my forehead.I tried my hardest to open my eyes because I want to see Kieran. I want to see him so bad. And I was right, he’s right beside me, waiting for me to wake up. “K-Kieran…”His eyes widened when he saw me awake. He immediately stood up and brought his face close to mine. “Ashin,” he kissed the back of my free hand. “Thank God you’re awake.” He muttered in the most concerned and worried voice I

    I don’t know what to feel after hearing conversation. I ran back to my car and revved it and drove off to nowhere. I don’t know where to go. I don’t even know what to think.If Harold is Bianca’s cousin, then does that mean that he’s been granting her wishes? Is he always telling me to get away for his cousin to be with Kieran? I don’t know. I don’t want to think that way because Harold is such a good friend of mine. He was always there when I was in my darkest times. He’s a good man. He is, right?I heard my phone ring and it’s Kieran. I answered it and connected to the Bluetooth speaker.“Love,” his voice is still so beautiful as ever.“Kieran.” There’s a smile about to breakout from my lips. Just one word from him and everything’s right again. I don’t even care about anything when I’m with him.“What are you doing?” He asked. He seem
