Chapter 77 – Lance “Your dolls are so pretty.” I voiced out as I sat right in front of Marjorie. She has this small table appropriate for her height and it was displayed with lots of toys. “Who’s the prettiest?” I asked wanting to start a casual conversation with her. “They’re all pretty just like me.” She replied as she handed me this one doll wearing a blue and red gown with glitters on it. “Sure, they’re all pretty. Does your dolls have names?” “Yeah, that one,” She pointed at the doll that she gave me. “Her name’s Trixie.” “Trixie huh?!” I looked at the doll on my hand and pretended that I’m talking to her. “Hi, Trixie.” I made my voice cartoonish to sound as if I’m part of the world that Marjorie was playing. “And this is Katya.” Marjorie said pertaining to the other doll that she was holding in her hand. “My mom named them.” “Oh, did she?” “Yeah, it’s from drag race.” Marjorie trailed and even though she was struggling a little bit to speak very fluently, I still understo
Chapter 78 – Jayler I have a boyfriend. It’s been days since Lance and I became official but I can’t deny the fact that I still couldn’t believe that I finally have a boyfriend. I am no longer single and I’m thankful for the stars for granting what I’ve been unconsciously manifesting. Jasper and Kenneth should just kiss my ass but the sad truth is, I can’t even tell them that I’m no longer single. I wanted to brag and be proud about Lance but I’m still afraid of telling them about it. With that being said, I’m still happy about the fact I’m no longer the single one in our circle. They could tease me all they want, however and whenever the like but I’m just going to keep my mouth shut, smile deep down inside and I’m just going to let them roast me for being single. Little did they know, I’m dating a guy. It’s a bit sad though that I’m not hanging out with Lance because I have to be home before dark. It’s even sadder that I don’t have any form of communication with him except when my
Chapter 79 – Jayler Why does it feel like heaven in the most unexpected way? The simple peck on my forehead felt sweet, endearing and above all, I feel secured around the arms of the person that I fell in love with. Why does love feel like you’re floating on cloud nine, jumping in its soft cottons? I stared at Lance’s morning messy look as he was fixing the table for breakfast. He just finished cooking for his breakfast and he even cooked extra thinking that I’m hungry when I already had my breakfast. The truth is, I am not exactly as hungry but I didn’t enjoyed breakfast today, not the food but the overall air in the room. I am now wondering how many breakfast in the coming days that I won’t enjoy just because of mom and dad’s bullshit. This one for sure, I will enjoy. Lance’s hair was clearly messy with thin filaments shooting at every direction. His eyes were still droopy and it seemed like I woke him up too early. However, I would still say that he looked cuter than ever. The La
Chapter 80 – Jayler Starting at the foot of the mountain just near the city, I was already feeling the chilly breeze freshly brought upon by mother nature herself. “The air feels so fresh and clean.” I muttered while sniffing the air around us. I even faced the sky and closed my eyes as if I was feeling this day. The abundance of pine trees and others, along with the slight brush of breeze makes it feel good. “Indeed. This is only like an hour of trekking, you know, less than an hour.” “That’s fine.” “We are just going to follow this road and once we reach the end of it, that’s already the real start of the real hike.” Lance pointed at the direction of the road. There are a few houses that can be seen with towering metal gates, mostly big houses and mansions, most definitely owned by the richest people in the whole city. “There are houses here,” I muttered. We are only a few meters away from where we started. “Yep, belongs to the rich people.” “More like Beverly hills eh?” “Ki
Chapter 81 - Lance I gazed deeper into Jayler’s eyes and behind those bright hazel eyes, I the saw the truth and nothing but the truth. He’s truly serious about this and while we looked like were getting married under a tree, everything felt magical. My heart was pounding pretty fast, it’s almost as if it has its own race going on. Everything felt so perfect. The sky was a perfect shade of blue, the breeze was utterly serene and it seemed like the whole city was watching us from below. “I want to kiss you.” Jayler mouthed and his tone sounded velvety, almost as if he’s seducing me. In fact, he is actually seducing me with those eyes that are telepathically speaking to mine and I am being seduced. I’m willing to be seduced. “Did you miss it?” I teased him just to see how he’d react. Little did he know, I’m the one who missed his lips. He might feel like he missed me so much but I missed him just as much if not more. “I-I do.” “Shut up and kiss me then!” I spat and just like that,
Chapter 82 – Lance I sat at the passenger’s seat as Yhannie drove. We both looked like we haven’t slept for days mostly because we’ve been extremely busy with a lot of stuff regarding this upcoming wedding. I didn’t realize organizing weddings most especially huge weddings like this was going to be that complicated and exhausting. In addition to that, I had my part time job at Fidelitea and the nightly gigs. I’ve been working pretty hard for the first time since I dropped out of college. However, I will say I’ve felt wonderful and galvanized even though I’m absolutely exhausted for the past few days. The last time I felt this way was when I was still in high school where I was the president of the student council. I felt very energized to be working nonstop and I’m going to thank the presence of Jayler in my mind and heart. It’s been several days since the last time I hanged out with him and I might not be talking or seeing him but the presence of his soul was just there motivating me
Chapter 83 – Lance I don’t have any idea why I’m sitting with the all-star cast of this grand wedding during dinner. Obviously, I’m the odd one out and if I wasn’t Yhannie’s assistant, I’d probably be having this dinner at the other table along with my bandmates and some random folks. I feel really out of place and I had to put on that fraudulent mask called smile just to get along with everybody. My social skills are on point even though I feel like I don’t deserve to be in this table. Dominic and Valentine sat right beside each other and it’s really painted onto their faces that they’re both nervous and excited at the very same time. If I was in Dominic or Valentine’s shoes, I’d be shitting my pants. Thankfully, I’m just an assistant and their wedding singer. Beside the conversation, the best thing about this dinner was the food. We are having beef steak and a whole variety of seafood that I haven’t even tasted before in my life. Of course, we are at the beach, seafood’s swimming
Chapter 84 – Lance “You may now kiss each other!” The priest announced after pronouncing Dominic and Valentine as husband and husband. Everybody brought out their phones and began capturing the moment. “Shit, wait, I need to film this.” Yhannie slammed her purse onto my chest once again as she quickly raised her phone to film Nick and Val at the altar. Thankfully, she’s over with the whimpering and the crying because I’m sick of her emotion and it was like a virus and it’s spreading on me. I know this moment is very much special to her just as it was special to Dominic but she’s got to have to get her shit together, she still has a lot of things to check once we go to the hotel hall. I know I have to get my shit together too because I have to perform in the next few hours. The smile on both Dominic and Valentine’s face was just the most priceless thing that I’ve ever seen in this grand wedding. They still both have teary eyes but everyone could discern how joyous their souls and hea
