She woke up with a throbbing head and a sore body. A surge of panic and confusion coursed through her when she realized she was naked beneath her blanket as a familiar built of man lay beside her in the bed. She tried blinking her eyes trying to remember what happened last night. "Shit!" she muttered when she finally recognized who the man is. It was no other than Cedric Miguel! Trying so badly to recall everything and how they ended up in her hotel room, her memory couldn't seem to cooperate she couldn't remember anything for a moment. Her head was throbbing because of hangover and was confused, she didn't know what to do. Feeling suspicious and baffled, she gasped when flashes of memories started to joy in her mind. Shit! She couldn't believe herself on how she acted last night. She had assumed it was just a dream, but the sight of Cedric Miguel now lying naked and sleeping before her confirmed its reality. Anger surged in her chest, she wanted to blame and confront him. She
First impressions are often entirely wrong. The thing that sometimes gets lost is the way people look at the harder edge of me and get the wrong impression that I'm a mean, selfish, priggish, unreasonable brat, and a very conceited person. That's really something I don't want people to think about me but that is not usually happening all the time. I don't usually care for what people think of me. The less I care, the less I hurt. I have trusted people but ended up being deceived and betrayed. There are people who are good at disguising and have mastered the art of deceit and yet, still know how to look saint to everyone. I'm not a good judge of character but I'm easily judged. Trust me I get used to it...Cedric Miguel Villacencio, the man who never failed to make some havoc in my system. He was almost perfect in every way and excellent in every aspect. I know I won't stand a chance on him and I know he can never be mine. Probably because ther
"What are you doing here? I believe it was Lyzza I was meeting tonight." She angrily told him."Have to convince Lyzza to do this. If I will invite you to go out with me, you will surely reject me so I have no choice but to do this stunt. This is the only possible way I could have a chance to talk with you, Gav.""I can't believe you, Cedrick Miguel," she stated frustratedly while shaking her head in disbelief and feeling so upset for what he did.She immediately walkout and left the place but he ran over and followed her. She might succeed in leaving the establishment but unfortunately failed to get away from him because he blocked her way as soon as she reached the exit. He pulled her outside the bar until they reach the beachside darker area."Get off me! What is it that you want?" She hissed irritably."I'm sorry..." Shocked by her disgust, his face stoop down as his eyes went gloomy.
The wind blew so softly and the peacefulness of the surroundings just added a gloomy and emotional sentiment in her feelings. Sitting in the same hammock in between the two coconut trees where she and her Mom used to lie down in the same spot always brings her to tears. It has been 2 months since she passed but the pain is still in her heart. The house has never been the same after she was gone. She could still remember the last words she told her before she left."I want you to be happy and always stay strong. I want you to grow to be a beautiful, smart, kind, and brave woman in the future. Reach your dreams and be who you are. Always remember that you are the best thing that happens to me. I wished to see you grow and see you finish college but I guess my time is about to come. I may leave this world but I'll guide and will always stay by your side. Do not forget that sweetheart..."She couldn't help to cry every time she though
Days passed and Chelsea had been trying to reach for her. She was generous and usually hang around with her. She finds her fun to be with and she thinks she was a cool stepmom to get along with. She always smiles a lot and she was so sweet to her father. Chelsea brings too much happiness to her Dad and she was well aware of that. She has never seen her father treat her Mom endearingly and the way he looked at her, his face lightened up in merriment which she has never seen him look that way to herMom. Sometimes she wanted to ask her father if he ever did love her mother but she has no guts to do that, of course.As days go by she was starting to like and get used to Chelsea's presence and intervention in the house. She usually helps her do her hair and chooses the right dress and shoes to wear. She teaches her a lot of things like how a girl should properly act and speak and how to treat others with finesse and class. They also shop together in the m
"Hey, Gav come on let's swim at the pool. I asked a maid to make us some snacks there." She was watching the most awaited volleyball match that was being aired live when Leanna found her in her room. She was wearing a bathrobe and inside it was a floral one-piece bathing suit."I'm watching my favorite volleyball match, Leanna. " She stated then switched her eyes again in the TV. She just can't miss every detail of the game. She was so agitated for her favorite team to win."Stop watching that boring volleyball match. Come on, let's just swim." Leanna then pulled her hand that made her laugh."I can't miss this. I've been waiting for this to be aired you know. Can't you see it was live via satellite?" She explained in between laughs."But I want you to accompany me swimming. It's boring swimming alone.""Okay, I'll accompany you after this.""No! I want it now Gav!"
"What was that? That looked so pretty." She was playing with her music box that noontime as she was listening to the soft music with it when Leanna butted in and entered her room.She always barges in and enters her room without knocking. Before she won't seem to mind it but these past few days, it really kinda irritates her. She didn't mind her and continued to watch and play the music box. She used to play the music box whenever she feels like missing her mother. It was one of the best gifts her mother left her. It was a dancing ballerina and her prince and it was actually from her grandmother who was given to her mom and then passed it to her. She just loves watching the ballerina dance with her prince as they spin around inside the box. She remembered when her Mom told her the story about a prince who love to dance with her princess. Simply staring at it makes her dream as that princess who dances with a handsome and brave prince.From
"Are you excited, sweetheart?" Her Daddy asked the moment the car parked at the parking lot of the school."A bit nervous." She stated honestly."That's normal. Nothing to worry about, sweetheart. You'll probably meet new friends and besides, your sister Leanna will tour you around, right Leanna?" Her Dad's eyes then turned to Leanna."Yeah, of course! I'll accompany you so you won't get lost on the campus." Leanna stated cheekily that made her eyes roll in disgust.She really hates her for being such a good actress. How can she manage to act sweet in front of her Dad then rude and hostile when they were alone together? Well, why would she be surprised? Chelsea does the same with her so she probably learned it from her mother. One thing for sure, she doesn't wanna play their game. Her father might have noticed the disgust in her reaction when she didn't reply to Leanna because his face turned dark and grim as if he was giving her a warni
