The next morning Gail didn't let me go to work but I pushed her to go to hers. I don't want to cause her trouble so I promised her that I won't accept any visitor today. I also told her about my plan to talk to Xavier dad today while she's not here. She was a bit hesitant but then I managed to convince her that I'll be fine.

"Make sure to call me when something happens, Okay? I'll go ahead now. Love you," she said and then hugged me.

"Sure thing. Take care, love you."

After she left, I prepared myself to go to Tito Felipe’s office. I decided to talk to him now to explain everything to him.

I don’t have any clue on what will happen next but I hope he’ll understand me. His understanding is important to me because I owe so much to him. Tito Felipe, his dad, gave me work that supported me and my studies. Without his help, I don’t think graduating would be that easy for me. Even though he did not just give me money right away, he did not think twice to trust me and let me work for his bus

    “Do you want me to court you again, that's why you’re being hard now? If that’s what you want then fine! I will court you again. Just let my Dad know about us again and then I’ll court you. Come on Vy, I can’t lose my career just because of this.”His voice doesn’t sound like he thinks of me. He really is a very self-centered person. He only cares about himself.I will never be hard on you just for you to court me again. I would never do that, I won’t let myself. My heart hurt so badly again but I didn’t show him that.“You know what, Xavier? You’re bullshit. Leave us alone! How dare you say that to my best friend! You’re a piece of trash. Leave her alone and don’t ever come back!” she was about to attack him but I stopped her. She looked at me very mad but I smiled at her. My tears are still forming at the side of my eyes but I managed to hold it back.“You don’t have to court me again, Xavier. If you can’t lose your career then I’ll try to talk to your father and make him understan

    “But we were not there with Samantha, Gail. Even though they have a plan he can just simply be with me and not do those things he did for me. He could just be there and let me do my own thing because Samantha’s not around,” I explained.She looked at me with so much suspicion, “So you really have something for him huh?”I smiled at her even though I knew she could see how sad I am, “Gail, with that short period of time, I knew him unexpectedly. Even though I do not know much about him, he made me feel that I am safe with him. That he will protect me. Those times that I am hurting because of Xavier, I didn’t expect him to be there but I am so thankful that it was him. I didn’t feel alone. He guided me and took care of me. I’m not sure if I’m just assuming things or he really did make me feel that way. Except you and Sister Mona, he was the only one who made me feel that way. That’s why I am confused now. Knowing that I still have feelings for Xavier even just a bit. I have loved him fo

    I suddenly felt weak. I don’t even know why I feel this way. It was as if there’s new baggage that I had to carry.The way he looked at me before he left scares me. I feel like he would stay away from me after this.I don’t want to lie to him, I still like Xavier. I just know to myself that I couldn’t just remove it right away, although my feelings for him are not the same as before. If I was hopeful before that we could still fix things between us but I don’t expect anything anymore.I wanted to tell Lucas about that but he didn’t let me finish. Maybe he thinks that I was just flirting with him.Is it really that, Veronica? Are you just flirting with him? What do you really feel towards Lucas?I almost pulled my own hair as I thought of that. I also lost my appetite and didn't even do anything. I don’t remember how I was able to go in my room and change my clothes. I felt so heavy so I let myself cry until I fell asleep.I woke up feeling thirsty. I pushed myself to get up and get so

    I was like a baby crying on his chest. All we could hear was my sobs and his soft curses sometimes. He hugged me tight and I felt like he was doing that to protect me, and just like that he calmed my mind and my heart even though my tears continued to flow.“Come here,” he said softly and tapped beside him. I was sitting calmly on the single sofa while he was sitting on the long sofa. After I cried, we decided to go inside my apartment and stayed silent. I didn’t say anything and just let him wonder his eyes on me.He walked towards me and sat in front of me to match my gaze. He tucked some of my hair behind my ears and sighed. He looked at me softly, wanting to start a conversation.“What did he tell you? What’s making you upset?” he asked softly. My eyes started to tear up again but I managed to stop it from falling.“Let’s stop this,” I said feeling heavy. I saw how his jaw clenched and how he looked at me deep. I couldn’t look back so I looked away.“What did he tell you?” I cou

    Walking up the next morning was exhausting. I haven’t done anything yet but I already feel tired. I wanted to take a rest but I couldn’t skip work. So, I endured the heaviness in my insides.After fixing myself, I decided to skip breakfast and go straight to work. But I almost wanted to jump back into my room when I saw Lucas, seriously looking at me while he was waiting for me outside of my apartment.I couldn’t move much; I felt my heart beat so fast; I couldn’t stand firm. And hell, I couldn’t even talk!I looked away to avoid his gaze. I really don’t know what to do, I’m not expecting to see him here. I wanted to think for the meantime, that’s why I’m trying my best to ignore and avoid him. I needed time for myself. I can’t just accept anything that Xavier said. He’s accusing me of something that I am not.He kept his gaze on me for more than a minute before he walked towards me. I was shocked to the point that I stepped back after his move. He tried again but I still stepped back
