31M I L OI groan as soon as my phone kept ringing over the dresser next to my bed. I don’t know what time it was but I guess it was already three in the morning. I reached for my phone half asleep and half awake when the call ended. I rub my eyes then I take a good look who just called me and as soon as I notice that it came from Lindy, I hurriedly called her back. “Hello?” Lindy sobs softly on the other line. “Lindy baby what’s wrong?” “Milo…” her voice soft, almost like a whisper, and sounded scared. I can feel her cupping the phone with her hand as it sounded a little breathy. “What’s going on?” I ask again as I pulled myself up from the mattress.“Someone is watching me from outside the house.”My brows, “What?” I feel a little bit nervous that I pulled the duvet off me. “What do you mean? What are you talking about?” “There was an unknown number who messaged me and it said I’m watching you.” I feel a little fright beginning to grow, “Where are you? Have you made sure you

33J A K EI hated school. As soon as I finished college, I only had one goal and that was to become a model and do whatever it takes to become one. I am not very good at academics and hell I don’t even want to lift a bone in studying. I didn’t know how I survived high school and passed all that crap.I hated football too although I used it for scholarship since my father is a completely broke human being. I used to do part-time in waiting tables and it was something I was embarrassed about but I needed the money. Although I almost seemed to resort to joining exotic male dancers but then there’s school. I know I have more potential in me and I know I look damned good. I get it, I am charming and sometimes it’s just so easy to get girls these days. Most people think I am an aloof, or so they say I am because I don’t really like to talk to people who are not really worth my time. I didn’t have much male friends in high school because they are always so intimated by my presence to whic

35I breathe out heavily, "How could you say that about a guy who actually opened his home for me?!”Milo annoyingly runs his palm over his face before he pushes his hair off his forehead, “That is the problem! He is not a hero here!”“Hero?!" I gaped before I scoff. "Hero or not, he was the one who was here and not you!” I paused and realized that my words went too far knowing the current situation that we are both in. I can tell from his eyes that he was hurt by what I said and I have never been more sorry. “Milo, I did not mean….”“You are right anyway.” He answers as he nods at me and it hurts me that those words slipped from my mouth even before I could think about it. “You are absolutely right. I was never there when you needed me and it fucking kills me every time I think about that Lindy!”There was silence."Do you have any idea how it hurts me so much that I am here and I am not with you?! You have no idea how I want to quit with everything with work and just be with you!"“

37L I N D Y The following evening, after we drove Gwyneth to the airport for her flight back to London and bid her a temporary goodbye, Milo and I decided to have dinner in a restaurant. As much as I wanted Gwyneth to join us, she had to leave because she still had paperwork to finish we soon as she gets back. The paps were literally following us everywhere we went to and it was almost pathetically getting me a little annoyed. Despite the struggle of being surrounded and followed, I felt happy knowing that I was finally able to hold his hands in public again as we walked along the streets of Connecticut. It just proved to everyone who doubted our relationship that we are still together and that the news about our breakup was never true. There were even fans coming up to our table asking for a picture and Milo was just kind enough to smile for the camera and sign autographs. Personally, I think they should have respected Milo’s personal time since he was having a meal but then he

39L I N D YLater that day, Milo and I spent the entire time with my mother while dad was the one who settled her hospital bills since she will be discharged tomorrow. I was amazed at how Milo was so good at keeping a conversation going despite the age gap that they both have and he even made my mother feel a little happier. He was incredibly good at entertaining people.Dad decided to go home to shower and change his clothes so we decided to stay with mom for the night. I was beyond thankful that Milo was here with me and guarding my mom even if there was only one long couch for us to sleep on.“Where would you sleep?” I ask Milo as we lounge on the sofa while mom had fallen asleep soundly on her bed.“You don’t need to worry about that.” Milo smiles. “I can always sleep while I am sitting down.”“This means a lot to me, Milo.” I smile back at him as he pulls me in so he can kiss my temple.Suddenly the door opens and there enters Avery who had her eyes glued on our mom who has been
