25 : "Baby"Baby25When we finished having dinner, we got back inside his car and started driving right away. He asked me where I wanted to go next but I really wanted to go home."Tate?" He calls while his eyes were set on the road."Yeah?""Do you remember how we met?" He asked with a grin."Football straight on my head." I pointed to my head and he laughs.I ended up laughing too as I remember it."And do you remember how I met you again one night while I was on my way to Dan's party?" He asks.My smile begins to widen."You hailed my taxi cab then you sat on my lap." He grins evilly.I snorted. "Hey on my defense, I didn't know there was someone who sat there."He laughs under his throat."But I'm glad it happened. I met you and we became good friends." He says.I smile."We're still good friends right?" He asks.I glanced at him."I mean after we've been through, we're still good friends right?" He assures.I remained quiet."I don't wanna lose you Tate. You've been a huge part
26 : "Why"Why26"Why not?" He asks.I shake my head. "Nothing."He remained quiet and just looked at me."Just don't call me baby." I added, saying it really softly.He slightly pulled his arm and himself away from me then looks away suspiciously. "Ex-boyfriend used to call you that?" He asks.I close the chocolate box and placed it on top of the table. "Yeah." I answer honestly."It's kind of our thing." I added.I stare back at Gage and he was just looking straight ahead. He chuckles softly then shakes his head too. His eyes travelled back at me. "Okay. If you say so." He answers.I sigh, "How long are you staying here in New York?""Well, I'm leaving tomorrow for London.""That soon?"He nods. "Management wants to talk to me then I'm flying to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow. I'm going to attend a friend's party."I fake a smile. "Well, I guess we need to spend most of our time today huh?"He nods as he rested his chin over my shoulder. "You're studying?""Yeah. Midterm week i
27 : "Big News"Big News27Last night was fantastic.Well, it's always fantastic with Gage.Sex with Gage is always the bomb.I lay my naked self next to a naked Gage. We were on top of my bed while my white-colored blanket was the only thing that covered us. His arm was under my neck and I was looking up at him while he was in his deep sleep. He's so handsome, dangerously and deadly handsome. Undeniably a fact.It was already five in the morning on my digital clock as I take a glance at it and to be honest, I was glad that I woke up earlier than him. He's leaving for London this afternoon, and I don't know when I'll see him again. He mentioned to me that he's going to Los Angeles for a friend's party I'm sure it involves Nadine.I sigh and take a pause as I sigh again.I pull myself away from his body, careful not to wake him up. I gently flipped the blanket off from us and watch his soft length still asleep. I bite my lower lip as I look at it, it's still damn huge even if it's not
28 : "Issues"Issues28Later that night, I still haven't asked Gage about his recent and shocking break up with Nadine because he still has not answered my messages from him since a while ago. I don't have the guts to actually ask him about it and my mind is so confused. He told me they were never together but now news got out that they broke up.Did he lie to me?When I got home, after going out with Monique to her doctor, I instantly googled about the recent news that Monique told me. I've read a few stuff and some of it really got into me. I think when he was in Los Angeles, he spend time with Nadine. I think he really went out with her at his friend's party. It was an exclusive party for sure because no pictures of Gage were circulated around online.I've spent the entire night googling about Gage and Nadine. And I've read so many things that actually hurt me even if I know I should not actually be jealous of them."Remember how earlier this year, everyone assumed Gage and Nadine
29 : "Los Angeles"Los Angeles29We've been on this plane for two hours now and I'm already excited to get off. Here I am, sitting on this chair next to Sam, on our way to Los Angeles to see Gage. I'm still mad at him but I know I need to hear what he has to say and it is up to me if I should believe it or not.I sit here as I look outside my window and of course, I feel nervous and thrilled at the same time to be able to see Gage again after eight days of not seeing and talking to each other, also after he actually seen zoned me. I have so many things to ask. I have so many things I wanted to know about him and Nadine."Sam?" I called out.Sam moves his head back to me. "Yes?""Did Gage really date Nadine?" I ask.He was surprised by what I asked and he just awkwardly looked away."I read online that she was thinking Gage was cheating on her," I speak softly. "Gage was also coming to New York when they were still together. I just don't wanna get involved."He glared at me. "I'm not
30 : "Proposal"Proposal30"I do not trust you." I say instantly.Gage pushes his hair off his face and looked troubled. I watched as his long fingers rake through his mop of hair before he pulls his head back up to me and looks me in the eye."I am being honest with you right now Tate. I am." He admits to me and in the back of my head, I want to believe him. I do want to so badly."I really love the thing I have with you more than the thing I was having with Nadine." He says with his doleful eyes. "I am not lying Tate." He persuades me.I roll my eyes at him because I do not know if those words would actually be nicer to hear that fucking was far more enjoyable than what he has with Nadine."Remember that time when I called you? When I was on tour? You kind of went off when you overheard Nadine in the background but I really wanted to talk to you than to spend the time with her." He explains and his words are tempting.I exhale heavily as I try to shake the thoughts off my head and
31 : "The Game"The Game31I enter Starbucks and I was welcomed by a line of five people heading to the counter. I walked up and joined them anyways. The people before me were all looking for something to eat and to drink, discussing what they were going to have while I'm here still undecided on what I will be having."I actually don't know what I'll be having," I say to no one in particular. "What are you having, G?" I ask him. "I'll see for myself. I'm hanging up." Gage says over the line."Okay." I ended the phone call.I kept my eyes on the menu board that was above me while I kept tapping my finger against my chin then my eyes landed on the availability of their foods, seriously if I only had a huge appetite, I'd be eating every single food in the menu. Every single food seems so delicious and really great that it makes me so hungry.My phone suddenly vibrated in my hand and it was a message from Gage.Gage: It's so nice to be standing close to you in public :)I smile right aw
32 : "Rough"Rough32Once I got off from the taxi cab, I literally flew myself up to my suite. No, I really didn't fly. I don't have wings or super powers but I ran as fast as I could just to get there first before Gage does. If I win the game, I want him to take me on a private yacht where it's only going to be me and him, where we can't be pictured together by the paps and no one would know that we were there. I want to enjoy the sea with him. Swimming and sunbathing. There'd be sex on the beach for sure or inside the yacht. It'd be an endless and sleepless night. I want that with Gage. I want to try that with Gage.I slipped my keycard in and rushed my way inside the living room but my shoulders slumped when I saw Gage sitting by the couch with his leg crossing the other. I was devastated that he got here first. He smiles at me sweetly, the smile that tells me he won. His arms were spread along the backrest while his fingers were busy tapping against the black leathered couch."Hi
FINALEI watch as Tate teach Beatriz in perfectly cutting the cookie dough out of the Santa Claus head shape-cutter. She was asking a lot of questions to Tate if they'd make flower cookies tomorrow or a small chocolate cake the next day. Beatriz had a lot of questions in her mind and I wonder where she had inherited that kind of interest in baking since my mum doesn't really bake, but then maybe this trait must be coming from Tate's mom. She had mentioned that her mom loved to cook and bake and that she was a great cook.As they finished all of it, they began to press down tiny chocolate kisses over the dough and as I watch my five year old little girl having fun making cookies with her mother, I know I've chosen the right woman to spend a lifetime with."Dad! Don't just stand there. Share duties with us. C'mon!" Beatriz calls out.Tate chuckles. "You heard the boss, Gage."I laugh with Tate and jogged my way closer to my two favorite women as I kiss Tate's cheek then she flashes me h
103 : "First Birthday"First Birthday103T A T EMy heart is pounding against my chest as soon as we arrived at the venue. I'm sure that there's going to be trouble because Miller is here. I know he wants to be a part of his daughter's first birthday party but Monique said days ago while we were preparing for this party that she won't even let Miller come near Tarry.I just don't want Miller to be ruining this day for his own daughter. I've prepared days for this day to be perfect and I've tired the hell out of myself the past week just for my godchild. Gage even helped with the preparations too and he even lavished voluntarily money for this event. I know he doesn't want this day to get ruined too. And I can't let Miller ruin this day for both Monique and Tarry."I'm nervous." I say to Gage.Both of us hopped off of the car and walked inside the hotel. He fixes the button of his polo as he pushed his hair back to his forehead and says to me, "Don't worry about it."I exhale heavily.
102 : "Olivia Tate"Olivia Tate102G A G E SPAINThe following morning, Tate showed me around Spain too like how I showed her Cheshire. I've been to Spain before but not as fun as I have with her and I've never been toured this much around this place. I didn't even know there were places around here that existed and I never even knew about it if Tate didn't showed me around. And when we were here, we never got to see Spain that much because we were on tour.Tate showed me off to some museums, some art galleries, magnificent sceneries that truly wowed me, amazing cathedrals, we even went to the school she went to when she was in elementary and so many other places that we enjoyed till we got tired. There were fans who crowded us though when they saw me and walked up to us to ask for my picture and autograph but my good thing Sam and Ryan were there to secure us.By almost six in the evening, Tate wanted to go to this last place that she wanted me to. Of course I wouldn't say no to he
101 : "Kavanaughs"Kavanaughs101G A G E After we had dinner, I was still nervous. Even though I've talked to them and her father seemed nice to me, I am still nervous.With her two brothers.I know they're really worried about my relationship with Tate. I know they don't want me to be with her because of my fame and it will be a great hindrance between us. I know that but I won't let them ruin what I have with Tate. I've already done too much to save us.And I know how families get so overprotective and they're just like Gemma. But they're the boy version of Gemma which is crazy. I know how Gemma gets so worried when I'm seeing someone new because she's worried that the past might happen again and I know how her brothers are also worried for her because she's a woman and that's just normal.I sigh. I just wish they see that I am really serious with Tate."Hey..." I hear Tate's voice from behind me.I stare at her over my shoulder and smiled. I feel her hands holding onto my shoulde
100 : "Spain"Spain100T A T EWhen we landed Spain, a lot of people took photos of us the second we arrived at the airport. We hurriedly got inside Gage's car and quickly drove to my home. Gage has been silent since we landed and he hasn't talked much too. He was looking straight ahead to the road while the GPS was teaching him where to go."Hey..." I placed my hand over his hand that was holding the clutch.He travels his head to me. "Yeah?""You're awfully quiet. What's up?" I ask.Gage exhales. "I'm just so nervous to be meeting your father and your two brothers. Like seriously how huge are they?""Hulk-like." I answer.He gapes at what I said and I could see now how nervous he really was to meet my family. I didn't even know that he was anxious this whole time. He tries to keep his cool after what I said but I really had no idea that the reason why he's been quiet all this time since we got here was that because he's nervous to meet them.I laugh softly."It'll be okay." I say t
99 : "Holmes"Holmes99T A T EWhen dinner was ready, we walked to the dining table to have eat together."Aunt Josie is a really great cook. I must say she's better than mum." Gage playfully says."Don't tell mum I said that." He adds.Aunt Josie and I were laughing together but I as I look at Gemma, she was just plainly looking at me while she was already starting to eat."Oh Gage you always compliment my cookings. Thank you but I think you just miss it." She says while chuckling."No aunt Josie, it is really good." Gage insist.I smile."You gotta try this sweetheart." Gage placed a piece of tenderloin on my plate. "That's a family recipe." He smiles at me."Thank you." I tell him."So, what are your plans tomorrow?" Aunt Josie asks."Well, I'm actually planning on touring Tate around town. I wanna show her where I grew up. I'm also planning on introducing her to my cousins so I hope Jake is around." He answers her."Oh don't worry. My son just got back from university and I'm sur
98 : "Small Town"Small Town98T A T E"Here's your order sweetheart." Gage placed my macchiato in front of me after grabbing it from the counter. I smiled to thank him but I was inwardly distracted.We were sitting inside Starbucks, just having an afternoon date together. It wasn't like it used to and now he'd always sit away from me. We were actually sitting right across each other now and letting all people look over our table. I watch as Gage signed some autographs and talked casually to some fans who came up to our table. I watched him do his thing and I was so amused that he's still so calm at how he treats his fans. No, he doesn't treat his fans as fans. He treats them as if he had known them for so long. "Thank you Gage." The little girls bids goodbye.When his fans had left our table, he turned to look back at me again. "What's wrong?" He asks.I shake my head sideways. "Nothing. I'm just always amused at how you treat your fans."He smirks. "Well they all have a special pl
97 : "Once Again"Once Again97T A T EGage groans as I hear him shifting on top of my bed just next to me. I was facing my back to him while his arm was loosely wrapping around me. He slowly pulls me in as I felt him pressing his self against my body which felt great. I was happy having him here again. I mean waking up so early in the morning having him here just makes everything feels okay. It feels like nothing even happened and us just continued.All of a sudden I felt him kissing the back of my head and it just makes me smile. It maybe just a simple gesture but it shows love. It shows that he still loves me so much despite the shit stuff that happened all these months. And I am so happy just being like this with him. I feel so grateful because he's here and he's just here."I love you Tate." He speaks to me softly. He tightly wraps his arm around me just a little bit quick and it really makes my heart flutter even ten thousand times happier than it already is. I just kept smili
96 : "Eli"Eli96G A G EI have never been mad and disappointed in my entire life at someone this much. I really hate all of the people that composes the Scanty! Management. Eli has always been right since the beginning of this, they're all liars. I can't believe we stayed to such people for a long time and actually trusted them that they can actually give us the real happiness. I was so wrong about them. All of them. They always make us want to lie to the fans, to our family, to the people around us and even to our own selves.They are all so selfish.I know every signed artist has rules to follow because of the contract but I just couldn't believe that I let them rule my life all this time and all these years. I've never been this happier when I signed for Jeff and finally left them. I am glad that he has my back unlike how Scanty would actually do dirty things without our knowing.When I look back at it now and the things that they did to my life and the mess that they've caused n
