View MoreIn front of us is the magical sight of bioluminescence plankton, which I have only seen in pictures.My eyes and mouth widened in amazement as I looked at the beautiful sight right in front of us."Oh my God! It is so beautiful!" I exclaimed in pure wonderment as I couldn't take my eyes off it."Do you want to come closer?" Caesar asked, to which I quickly answered with a repeated nod while smiling from ear to ear, causing Caesar to chuckle."Give me the bags then. I'll hold them for you," he said. And due to my excitement, I did not hesitate anymore to give him the bags I was holding. He then added, "You could also walk and swim on them if you want.""Nah. I'm not comfortable walking on them, and I think they wouldn't be comfortable with it either," I replied to him before I started walking closer to the plankton and stared at it in amazement once more.I can feel my eyes twinkling as I keep muttering the same word, 'wow'.I have never seen something as magical and enchanting as this
“Would you like to go somewhere with me tonight?” Caesar asked me, which took me aback for a little.After everything that had happened between us, that was the last question I expected him to ask. I assumed that despite our reconciliation, he would still distance himself a little from me, at least for a little while. But I guess I was wrong.Well, if he was able to be romantically involved with another woman just a few days after I rejected him, then I guess asking me to hang out is not that much of a big deal for him. And since it seems that he's okay with everything now, I don't see any reason why I should decline his invitation. This could also be a way for us to clear up even the tiniest awkwardness that will suddenly surround us from time to time, just like now. Also, it would be a good opportunity for me to ask what the real score is between him and Mara, and why did he deny that they were on a date when that was clearly what he was implying when I asked him yesterday?"Tell me
Tyler’s POVAfter the work-related call ended, I quickly went back to our table. My feet have been itching to get back to the three girls I was with. I was worried that the moment I left, they'd start fighting violently. I definitely doubt Brae would stoop that low, but I'm not sure about Raine, especially Mara, whom I've only recently met and am unfamiliar with her attitude. But one thing is certain about Mara: she is not the sweet and kind girl she tried to portray.The way she stared and the words she told Brae from the very first time they were introduced, I could already tell that she's trying to be someone she is not. So I can't really blame Brae for showing the same behavior to Mara. She was just letting her have a dose of her own medicine.As to why I was putting up with her, letting her get close to me as much as she could, and even accompanying her, it’s simply because I don’t want to be rude to her and also because I have a hidden agenda.This might sound cliche and somethi
I couldn't help but throw a couple of glances at Caesar and Mara's sides.They were sitting side by side, while I and Raine were sitting together. Mara, as usual, was being extra attentive towards Caesar again. I bet if Caesar allowed her, she would spoon-feed him.Thankfully, they haven’t gone there yet, or I might really end up throwing up all the food I ate due to disgust.“Is there a problem, Brae?” Mara asked when she suddenly looked at me and caught me stealing a glance at them. Caesar and Raine stopped eating to look at me in curiosity. “Or are you finding something funny about me to laugh at again?” Mara then added, her voice still filled with hostility directed not only towards me but only towards my Raine, who immediately turned her attention back to her food and ate again, acting as if she didn’t feel the animosity Mara has been giving the both of us.I sat straight and finally looked at her properly. I smile at her insincerely. “Look, Mara, I am sorry for offending you. I
"What are you doing here? I thought you planned to stay at home all day?" Caesar asked me, surprised but smiling.I gave Caesar a forced smile. I was suddenly confused and nervous, and my brain also seemed to go blank, which is why I couldn’t immediately come up with something to answer him.I remember telling him yesterday, after he dropped me off, that I had no intentions to leave and would simply stay at home. I also told him that Raine and I had no plans to go out, but now he saw me in the same mall as he and Mara, who were out on a date.I was still trying to construct a lie when Raine came to my rescue."Ahm, hi, Caesar? I'm here if you haven't noticed."Caesar was surprised again, and it wasn't until then that he looked at Raine. He appeared to have just noticed Raine was with me."Oh, Raine!" He exclaimed, startled. "I didn't recognize you."Raine lifted an eyebrow. "You noticed Brae even though we were both wrapped up, but you failed to recognize me? It's not very obvious who
"Ahm, can you remind me again why we are doing this?" Raine asked me as we were secretly looking at Mara and Caesar, who were inside a boutique, looking at clothes while having a conversation with smiles on their faces.We are currently in a mall, sitting near the escalator and only a few steps away from the boutique where Caesar and Mara are."We are just purely doing this out of curiosity." I answered her in a weak voice without even looking at her because I didn't really separate my gaze from the two.Raine lifted one of her eyebrows as she stared at me. "We? You mean to say: out of your own curiosity?" She snarled before adding, "And we're not really sure if we're really just doing this because you're curious."I was still staring at Caesar and Mara when I answered Raine. "Be quiet, Mara. I didn't force you to come with me. You're the one who insists on coming because you just want to catch gossip.""Hey, that's such a mean thing to say. What are you saying that I just want to cat
Caesar looked quite surprised at the answer I had given him. "You thought I wanted to end our friendship?" he asked after a few moments. His voice was filled with disbelief."Well, you were avoiding me, so I thought..."Caesar turned speechless for a moment as he stared at me, who was staring back at him."Well, honestly, part of the reason why I avoided you was because I was still in pain after being coldly rejected by you. But the main reason is because I thought you didn't want to see me anymore," Caesar said in a calm manner after a couple of minutes.As soon as I heard the first line he uttered, my heart tightened with guilt, but I ignored it to keep things from getting awkward and answered his second statement instead. "And I thought the same thing. I thought it was you who didn't want to be near me, and that is why you were avoiding me.""I was avoiding you because I thought you hated me.""Hate you? No. I don't hate you!" I quickly answered, surprising Caesar and making him go
Tyler’s POV "What was that?" I asked my cousin Mara when Caesar and Brae were finally out of sight. Now I can finally hold my cousin accountable for what she did to Brae. "What do you mean?" Mara questioned, trying to appear innocent despite the fact that she was well aware of what I was talking about. I put down the wine glass I was holding. “You know what you did, Mara. You were provoking Brae,” I said in a serious tone while facing her. "You might not have directly said it, but I knew you were insulting her. Why? Is it because we used to date? If that is the case, then do you want to insult me too? Since I am now marrying my ex-girlfriend's cousin, do you now find me disgusting?" "No!" Mara quickly replied. "That's not it..." "Then what?" The tone of my voice is unchanged. It remained serious as I continued to question my cousin. "It's because she's close to Caesar!" "Because she's close to Caesar? That is why you were being mean? Mara, they're best friends! Of course they ar
“Hey, cousin.” It was Tyler who first responded while I just stared at the two blankly. I centered my gaze on Tyler’s cousin, namely Mara. It seems that being good-looking runs in their blood because she’s definitely beautiful; I won’t deny that. She’s got such a sexy and alluring figure that any guy who sees her would probably give her a second look. If I'm going to base it on looks, she would really be the perfect match for Caesar. But looks aren’t the only thing that’s important, right? The personality, attitude, and behaviors are way more important in creating a relationship, and I would stand by my opinion that her personality and Caesar’s personality do not really click, at least for me. “Won’t you even introduce me to this beautiful friend of yours?” Mara asked Tyler, a smile plastered on her face as she glanced at me, then back to Tyler. “Oh, of course. Mara, this is Braelyn, Raine's cousin and Caesar's best friend,” Tyler said, turning to me. “Brae, this is Mara. My cousin
