View MoreTYSHASeeing Rue after I opened my eyes again was like a dream come true. My head throbbed, and I clutched the edge of the bed, trying to steady myself. Rue sat in the corner, his face etched with worry. His knuckles were white as he clenched the armrest of the plastic chair.The door creaked open, and a middle-aged doctor stepped inside. His eyes were kind, but his expression held the weight of countless diagnoses. He glanced at the clipboard in his hand, then back at me.“Tysha,” he said, his voice gentle. “I’m Dr. Hernandez. Rue here tells me you took quite a tumble.”I nodded, wincing as the movement sent a jolt of pain through my skull.“Yeah… I hit my head pretty hard,” I just said, not wanting to mention that I got this bump from my abusive ex.Dr. Hernandez pulled a pen from his pocket and scribbled something on the clipboard.“Let’s take a look, shall we?” He approached me, his fingers deftly parting my hair. His touch was surprisingly gentle, and I closed my eyes, trying to
RUEAdam: Here are your pictures with Tysha. Just forward them to her.I stared at the photograph that Adam gave me before we left Isla Llevaste. It was a picture of Tysha and me on the sea. I was smiling at the camera but she was looking at me.It reminded me of another photo, one from six years ago, taken at an amusement park. Tysha had looked at me the same way then, her eyes full of a warmth and affection that words could never fully express. My lips curved into a smile as I studied the picture, the familiarity of it stirring something deep within me.As I gazed at Tysha in the photograph, her eyes locked on me while I was focused on the camera, I couldn't shake the feeling that they were trying to tell me something, something that contradicted the words she had spoken just hours before. They held a depth of emotion that went beyond mere words.Her eyes… kept on telling me the exact opposite of the words that were coming from her mouth. And thinking that eyes never lie gave me a
TYSHAHookup?! One night stand?! What are those lame excuses, Tysha?!To be honest, I was just embarrassed of myself that was why I purposely left Rue on the bed after our first night—after a long time.I was ashamed of myself for acting so horny last night despite the one being sober. Like, gosh! Where's my dignity? I just realized how embarrassing my actions were when I woke up. Fortunately, Rue was the type of guy who was competitive enough not to give up easily. Gosh! The relief and warmth that I felt when he said he wouldn’t give up. After breakfast, we busied ourselves fixing our things. Then, when it was time to go, we bid our goodbyes to the people who accompanied us on our whole three-day trip. Rue and I stood on the shore of Isla Llevaste, a bit awkward, a bit unsure, with Cecilia and Adam. They had been great, making us feel at home on this little island escape.“Tysha,” Cecilia said, her voice soft but strong, “it’s been lovely having you both. This place needed your l
RUE I woke up to an empty bed after the most unforgettable night with Tysha. Panic surged through me as I reached out, my hand groping at the vacant space where she had been only hours before. But she was gone, leaving behind nothing but the faint scent of her perfume lingering in the air. Where is she? After realizing that, I rose from the bed. My head ached from suddenly getting up. But fuck it! I looked around her room but I saw no signs of her. Fortunately, I saw her luggage still in the room. Somehow, it calmed my heart. Damn! I thought she left me for good again. A sense of déjà vu washed over me, memories of our past flooding back with painful clarity. Tysha had done this before, disappearing without a word after making love. Now, I couldn’t help but freak out, thinking whether I had done something wrong and fucked up again. Even so, I still wore my clothes back and looked for her outside. “Tysha?” I tried to call her name. Then, I found her in the dining room of the
TYSHARue's words kept replaying in my head, swirling around and bringing with them a tidal wave of emotions. The moment he expressed his willingness to still be the father of my future children, despite his belief that I betrayed him, it struck me deeply. I couldn't help but wonder… if only I had stopped to truly listen to him before resorting to deception, maybe my children wouldn't have to face the prospect of growing up without their father. If only I had trusted him just one more time, perhaps I could have avoided jumping to conclusions. Now, our lives are in disarray. Gosh! It's so frustrating! Rue also told me that he never married anyone else and legally adopted Henry after taking legal action against his only relative, Leilani.“You should sleep,” Rue said when we got to my room’s door. He walked me to my room after everything he told me. Even though he was the one who clearly needed assistance, he still chose to put me first. "Are you going to keep drinking?" I inquire
TYSHA"I have a surprise for both of you," I announced, calling my kids over as Rue and I returned to the resort. I was lying on my bed, exhausted from swimming."Really, Mommy?" Addison and Aiden asked eagerly. I could already imagine their eyes shining with excitement."Yes, I'll give them to you when I come back," I promised."Yay!" they exclaimed at the same time. Hearing their happy voices seemingly took all my exhaustion away. I spent some time dozing off after the exhausting swim in the sea. Eventually, I stirred awake when a knock sounded on my door. It was Cecilia."How was your swim with Rue?" she inquired."It was fine," I replied, keeping my response brief.I felt the urge to add more, to say "it was fine, I just relapsed a little bit" but I held back. Cecilia smiled at me warmly."We've set up a simple beach feast outside. Let's all eat together," she invited.Since I didn't have anything else planned, I agreed to join her. As we stepped outside, It was already dark ou
TYSHA I was rummaging through my drawer for something to match the new bikini I'd brought for this trip when my fingers brushed against the smooth, cool pearls of the necklace Rue had given me. It was a simple thing, but the most special piece of accessory I had. I picked up its shell pendant and stared at it again. Rue had made it himself, each pearl and shell carefully chosen, strung together with a patience I didn't know he had. It was like proof of the care he put into everything that mattered to him. And somehow, that included me and my twins. Holding it now, I couldn't help but smile. It perfectly complemented my royal blue bikini under my sheer cover-up. "You ready?" Rue asked the moment I stepped out of my room. He was already dressed in his summer outfit, sunglasses perched casually on his shirt. "Yeah," I replied. I noticed his eyes lingered on the necklace he had given me, and a small smile tugged at his lips. My heart raced and my cheeks flushed at the sight. Gosh
RUE After doing my morning routine, I stepped out of my room. I had promised Henry a souvenir, and I was planning to get started on making it. However, as I made my way to the dining room, I saw Tysha, sitting at the table who gave a slight smile when she saw me coming. She looked surprisingly... normal. “Morning,” she said, and it threw me off. Since when did she start the day with anything but a cold shoulder? “Good morning,” I managed to reply despite my confusion. Breakfast was laid out in front of her, but nothing was touched. It looked good, and I was hungry, but this was weird. “Have you eaten breakfast?” I asked, trying to figure out what was going on. “No. I was waiting for you,” she answered, and I was taken aback. Again. Waiting for me? Since when? I sat down, still trying to wrap my head around this sudden change. Was she being nice now? What happened overnight? But hey, I wasn’t going to complain. If she was offering an olive branch, I’d take it. Maybe we coul
TYSHA Adam's words really struck a chord with me, pushing me to gather the courage to apologize to Rue. His honesty and concern for Rue had been a wake-up call for me. After saying sorry to Rue, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders and I woke up earlier than usual the next day. Of course, the first thing I did was to message my mother and ask about my kids. I even left them a voice message. Then, after doing my morning routine, I decided to go out of my room. In the kitchen, I found Cecilia busy preparing breakfast, the aroma of coffee in the air. “Morning, Cecilia,” I greeted with a smile. “Need a hand with breakfast?” She turned, a smile brightening her face. “Oh, no. You’re a guest here.” “Just let me,” I insisted. Even before she could agree, I already stood beside her and joined in her cooking session. She then sighed, giving up. “Alright. Whatever you please.” I chuckled. We started cracking eggs and flipping pancakes. The conversation naturally turned to catching
