65 : "Her"Her65T A T EI sigh heavily as I read the news online all about Gage. I watch recent photos of him too and it just makes me furious. He was just having dinner with me last night and now he left just like that.Me: You didn't even tell me you were already back in London.Gage: Sorry. Had to come back home ASAP. Something urgent happened.Me: Urgent???Gage: It deals with the management so I can't tell you any other details sweetheart :( Things with them needs to always be confidential.I sigh heavily.Me: It's fine. I'll talk to you later.I walked out of the apartment to head to Wendy's. I want to get one free dinner slash visit the preggy, I wanna see how she's doing. She said her tummy's been aching lately, I think she's having trouble. I want to make sure that she's fine, I've been away for a while since I left for my Machu Picchu field trip. I have been worrying about her because I haven't seen her for days."Welcome to Wendy's." I was greeted by a waitress once I wal
66 : "London"London66G A G E"You're seeing her again?" She worries."No." I snapped. "I'm not seeing her again." I continued."Then what?" She snapped at me."I just... I just saw her. Okay? I just saw her. That's it. That's all." I explained.She sighs heavily. "And don't tell me your feelings are coming back for her just because you saw her again."I remained silent."Gage are you really out of your mind? You're letting her affect you again." She continues to whisperingly nag at me."We'll talk it out tomorrow G. Please? I'm really tired and sleepy."She sighs. "Just get your decisions made up before you'll realize it's too late.""What decisions?" I asked."You and Tate." She answers right away.I look back at my sister as she tells me seriously, "Remember, you're not the only guy that's after her. You need to keep that in mind Gage. You might not know there's someone else aside from you that's already pursuing her.""There's none." I assured."There's none that you know but a
67 : "Photoshoot"Photoshoot67T A T EI nervously watch as Gage pose for the camera and he could be a great model since he looks like a natural at doing it. He hasn't smiled his natural dimpled smile that I used to love when he does it. He's been furrowing his eyebrows since he started his photoshoot and he looks like he's mad even if Dillion tells him to smile, he doesn't seem to listen."Alright! The photos were great, man. We'll review it in a while." Dillion calls out. "Let's take five before we start the next photoshoot Gage." He adds.Gage just answered him with a nod. My eyes follows Gage as he leaves the studio without even looking at me."You alright Tate?" I hear Dillion speak.I smiled at him while he walked towards me and handed me a bottle of Snapple."I'm fine." I answer."If you're hungry just tell me, I'll tell Fred to buy us dinner." He says.Fred is his driver, like Gage he also has a personal driver to drive him around when he's really tired from doing photoshoots
68 : "End"End68Nathan was the last one for the shoot and I was amazed that the photos of Gage and me turned out pretty great. It's either Gage did a great job on pretending to be in love with me or maybe Dillion's just the greatest photographer and took the photos from amazing angles. Either way, the photos were magnificent and I wanna save them on my phone.Though Gage's face on the most of the photos looked serious, he still looked handsome. There were photos of him smiling too but not his usual happy smile. To be honest, I haven't seen Gage after his shoot, he left the studio right after I told him I have a date with Dillion after this photoshoot. He didn't even say anything after I told him I have a date with Dillion. He just remained quiet and left when he was done. He didn't even thank me for participating. "Could you tell Dillion that I'm just going to find the bathroom?" I ask one of Dillion's crew.She nods at me.I began to march my way out of the studio and started walk
69 : "The Beginning"The Beginning69"Are you okay, Tate?"My head moved to Dillion who was sitting next to me while we were riding inside the backseat of his luxury car. I nod. "I am. Yeah.""Well you've been quiet since we had dinner and after." He tells me.He moves a bit closer, "Is there something wrong?"It's about Gage. And sex. And it's sickening when I think about it all over again.I sigh. "Nothing. I'm just tired.""I'm sorry if I let you stayed that long at the photoshoot. I should've--""It wasn't about the photoshoot Dillion." I cut him off. It's about Gage. "I enjoyed it. Really.""Don't worry, I reserved the best hotel suite for you. In that way you'll get to relax for a bit during your stay here. It's been indeed a very long day for the two of us." He says.I slightly smile."Are you tired?" I ask him."Me? Sort of, I am. Well I tend to get myself used to being tired." He answers with a cute smile."We can't teach ourselves to get used to being tired." I tell him.I
70 : "Wrong Move"Wrong Move70G A G EI hit the doorbell continuously that I think I just break it, as I nervously kept glancing at my watch. It's already one in the morning but who cares about how late it is? I began to knock too but no one's responding to it."Fuck." I cussed. "Open up." I knock again.I quickly pulled my head up as soon as I see the door swinging open and she looks at me in shock but I know that I woke her up."Gage?" She asks me."Hey." I greeted. "Did I wake you?""You didn't." She answers.She gazes at a clock, probably, hanging inside her living room. "It's late, what are you doing here?"I sigh, "I need a drink or two.""And.... You're here because?" She asks, fixing her silky pink night gown, showing off her beautiful long legs by that skimpy panty-like silky shorts.I try to smile. "Looking for someone to drink with me."She laughs softly. "And you really had to come here inside my condo. How'd you know I was here?" She arches her eyebrow."because I hear
71 : "Regrets"Regrets71T A T EI have been crying since I saw the pictures that Gage sent me a few hours ago.I can't find a reason why I still have to be mad when I already wanted to end it. But what bothers me is that he asked for a chance for me to think about staying and yet he slept with another woman. That's what makes me even more mad at him. He can't have any consistent decisions made up for the people around him.I don't know if Gage's even the one personally sending it or Kendall just used his phone and is the one who sent it instead. But whoever did, I'm really pissed at Gage for even constantly calling and texting me yesterday but then he's sleeping around with other women that same day too. And I'm even more pissed at myself because here I go again getting jealous over someone else when I know for a fact that I shouldn't.Is he even sincere when he told me that he really wanted me to stay in his life?But then as I think about it, I wonder what's Kendall's point of sen
72 : "If I Could Fly"If I Could Fly72G A G ELater that night, I was just sitting inside my room doing nothing else but reaching Tate's phone. I'm so sure that they already landed in New York. I've been trying to call her, her phone's already ringing though, but she's just intentionally ending my calls and mostly not answering any of it. I've been rereading the messages for hours that I have been sending her since I realized that Kendall sent those photos to her.Me: I know I should have a good explanation for those photos. Please listen to me first, I didn't send those.Me: Tate please talk to me. I need you to hear me out. Hit me up when you land. Please.Me: Tate you have the right to be mad but please just let me explain. Please talk to me.Me: I know I begged for you to stay and I didn't something horrific but please just hear me out.Me: I wasn't the one who sent those photos, trust me. I swear to god. I didn't do that. Please Tate. Talk to me.Me: Tate. Please.A few more me
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
