I woke up due to the bangings and rings from the doorbell. I already know what this is.
When I woke up this morning, I actually received a memo or a text from the head engineer of our company that I should take this day off.
I don't really need this but they said someone insisted, and I think I already know who.
I went to the bathroom first and fixed myself. It's 11 am and yes, I made sure I would get enough sleep today. I walked towards the door and opened it, of course, who else would be here.
“For Pete's sake, it's already 11 and you just woke up?!” Anine exclaimed and I just went inside, so did they.
“We heard you'll be free today so we thought why not go to the mall with you?” Krysyle asked and I just raised my brow at them.
“Come on, Maesea. It's Clint's order. He called this morning asking if we could take you somewhere no
No! This can't be true. Am I so tired that I have fallen asleep? This is just a dream, right? Tell me this is just a dream! Wake me up, please... Wake me up... This can't be true. Mon Coeur is safe, he is safe, he is in the Maldives safely working. Clint is safe...My friends helped me and Anine stand. Each of them started to tear up too, but it hurts us more... Please tell me my man is safe. Please tell me he is just busy, that's why he can't message me. NO! HE AND HUXLEY ARE BOTH SAFE!I gathered all my strength and pulled myself up.“I gotta go. He is safe. He is not— My man is not on that plane! I have to make sure. I will go to their house and a-ask for an explanation! Th-this must be a joke...” I said as tears were continuously falling from my eyes.“S-sei, he's fine okay? We'll go with you—” I didn't even bother listening and just brushed their hands o
We sat there thinking how we ended up being together. Thinking 'bout how our families met and just decided that we might help each other heal. Thinking about what came to their minds for them to decide that we should live together. I mean, I barely know this guy. I can't even think of any reason how I could help him, same as him to me. I can't risk myself again. Reminiscing how myself ended up building myself over and over again. What if this person gets so close to me somehow? I should say "no". But why does the other half of me pursues to risk because maybe he can really help me? Can two different people really help eachother? I stood up and decided to make some coffee for us. I gave him his americano as I was sipping from mine, then sat beside him and faced him. My mind is made up. “When do we start?” both said simultaneously.
I can't still believe how much we spent our days being with each other for the last two years. Not worrying about the bad things and what could go wrong. Just the matter of creating memories that we would be treasuring our whole lives.It's 9:00 in the morning and I'm currently dressing up for the meet up at a mini-mall here near our houses. Just shorts, black polo, a yellow jacket and my high cut black Converse shoes. I fixed my small backpack, got my pencil case, paper and a bottle of water.I arrived at the meeting place at 10. “Where are they?” I uttered. I've been waiting for the past 10 minutes. Finally, someone arrived.“You have the nearest house that you can just walk it, and here I am who came first.”“Hehe, sorry. I just said I'm already here so when I get here you're already here and wouldn't have to wait.”Can I just push them off
Nine years have passed since I left Manila, and it's been over a year already ever since I came back. I started my own business. My dream business ever since I was only sixteen. Mama called while I was at the café.“You're staying at your office. It's not even safe that you have no one around you!” she exclaimed.Here we go again. I'm doing my best to find a place to live okay? It's just that I'm not comfortable with apartments. I have a couch in my office. This is my workplace. I have my bathroom here. My locker. Isn't it enough, for now? I can afford a place in one of the condominiums here near the café, it's just that, I want something that would make it feel like home. Comfortable.“Ma, I'm contented here already. My office is like my room, and this café is like my home. I'll go now. I still have to help them prepare since we're filled with customers. Gotta go, bye I love you!&r
“Here's your keycard ms. If there'll be anything more you need, just ask me. I'll be going now. Have a nice stay.” He turned around politely and left the room. “We'll be leaving now, too. I still have to open the bakeshop. We'll visit here next time. Babush, have fun!” Mich then left my bag on the floor and so as Krys. I went inside and was just stunned at how simple it looks but still beautiful. The condominium may look luxurious but, the owner of this unit has a good taste in simplicity. The kitchen was next to the hallway passed the door. Looking at the kitchen, this may be embarrassing but I think I'll love cooking here hahaha. I saw a note on the island counter. "You'll see the floorplan of the room right next to the entrance door. Our rooms are 2 meters apart facing each other. Bedroom 2 is yours. I'll leave the door open." I looked at the floor plan and analyzed it right away. In
Oh hell, It's 10 already? Good thing I told my staff I won't be able to make it today since I have an important thing to do. What I mean about the "important thing" is, what happened last night. I stood up, went to the bathroom and cleansed my face. When I opened the door, I saw Mr Sevani—I mean, Clint—about to knock on my door. He turned around and smiled. “Hey, I was about to call you. I mean, for breakfast? I prepared some, come on,” he said and so I followed him. It smells so nice on our way to the dining area. Then, there. The food looks so good. I have been loving the looks of the food on Krys' resto but hell, this also looks good. “I cooked a few since I don't have an idea of what you like,” he said and scratched his nape. Why does he look so cute? “I'm not a picky eater. Still, thank you for the food,” I thanked him as we were getting food. “I am just returning the favour for th
A week has passed, I am still not ok with this set-up. Clint and the gang, yes, the GANG, are starting to be friends. For the past week, they've been hanging out in my out my café. I mean, do they even have jobs? Where are they getting this much time? Especially Levine and Krysyle who's been studying law. Huxley, who's a pilot. And Clint, who's an engineer, and currently has an ongoing project. “GOOOODMORNIIIING!!!!” Mich exclaimed as she enters my office. Next to her was Huxley, who also greeted, "morning, Mae!” This is getting out of hand. I'm a little bit not happy with my decision of not continuing my engineering... career If I did, I might be somewhere right now, enjoying my inspection time. Travelling this world. “Morning, Mae.” Here follows the three. I crossed my arms and looked at them with a serious face. “Don't you people have jobs to do and career to fulfil?!” I asked and they jus
It has been 2 weeks and a half already, and I am telling you, I haven't found a house yet. Wonder why not just take a unit in Clint's building? IT'S TOO BIG FOR ME YOU KNOW?! I just want an affordable simple house. 'Till I get to build my own. It has been a week and I am getting more nervous for myself. “Hey! Good afternoon madame.” I turned around and saw him. “Don't you have work, Mr Sevani?” I raised my eyebrows as I was asking him while he was peeking on my office door. “The construction's almost done and I'm done with my round and inspection for the day,” he said while looking inside my office. “Almost done? What do you mean? Haven't you just had an appointment with your client a week before?” I asked and crossed my arms. “It's just for the materials. They just asked me if they could add something, how many are still needed, how much it'll take for them, etc,” he answered with a sigh. He's being talkativ
