"I don't know Candy. It's vague. It's really vague. That person is guilty of both heat and cold. I don't even know where I'm going to be. To make it worse, Jack even accused me of stealing Troy from him. ""That's really what your goal was in the first place."I was tormented by what Candy said. She didn't seem to care about what came out of her mouth because he just kept eating and even offered me her sandwich. I took it and shoved half of it in my mouth.Candy has a point in what she said. That was really my main goal, but that has all changed because, little by little, I have accepted that it is not possible. Someone will get hurt, especially myself, if I insist, even though I know for myself that there is no certainty in what I want to fight for.A few days passed before Troy headed home. We ended up falling asleep, even though I just woke up. I thought he would stay at home for a while; he is the type to reach in the dark, but when his phone rang and I saw that the caller was Jac
"Eat a lot and put your tupperware in the kitchen so I can serve you. Make the most of it because it's only once!" My aunt Anne announced it loudly.I shook my head when she even used the mic to really shout that. When our eyes met, she winked at me and once again focused her eyes on the guests and some of my classmates, who, after our graduation ceremony, went straight to Aunt's house to invite them because of the number of people who were ready.Candy and I looked at each other and both laughed. We both got up from our seats and went straight to the food piled on the very low table."Aunt Anne also prepares very well; it's like the goal is just a debut." She said this while steadily taking the lumpia."There are also many guests. Besides, they are very happy." I shot at the laughing guests, including Troy and Brando, who were also invited by my aunt earlier.I snorted. Ever since he dropped me off that night, he has been doing what a lovely man does every day. It's not that I'm acti
"It's Troy's birthday tomorrow. I heard you were invited." Candy said this to me while I was arranging my clothes to put in the suitcase. I was stunned for a moment and stared at her."Who said I was invited?" I snorted because I don't remember anyone inviting me or even Troy taking care of my invitation."It's Brando; who else? He gave me an invitation card earlier. I thought it was Troy's birthday; he was supposed to be debuting. Look at that card; it's a butterfly."I quickly reached for the envelope in his hand. I opened it with a snort, and it's true. The violet butterfly is the concept on the card; the debutante is overcome. I gave it back to Candy, who put it in her sling bag. Our eyes met again, which I quickly avoided."I asked Brando for you because I know that even if I forbid you to go there, you will still go. The case he made is that Troy said he already gave it to you."I looked at Candy in surprise. She was looking at me with her lips pressed together."Don't say no."
WARNING! This chapter contains sexual scene. Samuel and I continued walking. We both laughed in his car as he drove back home. He's been fooling me for a while now, and whatever barber story comes out of his mouth that I thought was true, when he finally retracts it, it makes me wince at him.We no longer noticed the time. It was three o'clock when we left the house and went to an expensive restaurant that he had reserved before inviting me. After that he took me to the mall, we went to the arcade and went to the cinema. The theme we chose is horror. I thought I would have someone to hold on to when I screamed or was startled, but the ending, he was the first to scream and sit on the floor as if he were a toddler. Instead of being afraid of what we were watching, my laughter prevailed until we got out. He was still pale and didn't seem to be able to move on yet, so I ran to buy water just so he could drink and not lose his life. The strength of the horror, he was the first to scream.
It's been a month since something happened to Troy and me. I can't get that out of my mind, and I'm really ashamed to meet him here at school, especially since it's the beginning of the school year. It's inevitable that he won't go to our building, even though his batchmates go here every time they go home because they're also picking up someone.It's not that often, but it's a different kind of anxiety that I live with on a daily basis."Hey, girl who likes a gay man. Aren't you going home yet?"I looked at Candy. It's really crazy. I pulled her closer and brought my face closer to her. "Is it negative, Candy? Not in our hallway?" I asked nervously and looked around.Candy snorted. "No, sister, wait." She pulled her head against my arm. "Why are you so afraid of seeing each other? Do you know that no matter how big this university is, it's still not unlikely that you won't see each other? " She said."Yes, I know, but it's been a few days, hasn't it? We don't run into each other bec
"Is that what it's like to have a child, Abigail? Your blooming has been different this past week. You're getting better, you bwakangshit!”I laughed at Candy. "It's broken, I just tried really hard to fix it, so my schedule is like this."They way she praise me, it's as if she doesn't see me every day. While my daughter and I were in Palawan, we made via calls every day."Ah just, you're beautiful! There must be a lot of people flirting with you there, right? Care to share, sis."I shook my head and was about to answer when Casper, who was still carrying Stacey from the kitchen, intervened in our conversation. I looked at my son, what flavor of lollipop was in his hand."Of course, I'm one of them!" He said, that's why Candy and I laughed. "Just kidding, I've been waiting for two years, still nothing?"I shook my head. Casper's face crumpled as if he was hurt even though the truth was that he accepted it and it was clear to both of us that we can only be friends with each other.I no
"You really saw him?! Oh my god, what did you do then?" Candy asked curiously after I told her about what happened yesterday.As usual, the reactions she released to me were very overacted.I looked at her, and I could clearly see how the popcorn in her bowl would fall."No, what should I do?" I asked, confused, looking away at the same time."Hug him?..." Her eyes widened.I couldn't help but be shocked. "Yes, Candy. I'm sorry, okay. When I gave birth to Stacey, that's when I realized that I was doing something wrong. Stacey, that's when I realized that I was doing something wrong. That's why I confess every week, right?"I was left speechless when I thought about how awesome I used to be. I almost ruined a relationship because of my illusion. I knew what I was doing then; I was just too blinded by my will to realize that my behavior was excessive. But since I moved out and until now, all I have asked for is forgiveness. Even if I can't tell them face-to-face, I just pass it on throu
"It's like you don't want to let your mother and daughter back into my house, Troy. You can just haul away their things." Candy commented while watching how Troy and his partner took out all of Stacey and I's belongings.Even I have the same thought. He really didn't leave one. Even though I tried to single him out, there was absolutely no way out."I think we should go; you have no more things here." Troy stood in front of me, but my friend interjected."Come on, run away right away. Can't you bond with us friends first?"Troy raised an eyebrow, apparently not liking what Candy said. "No. You've been together for a long time. And one more thing." Troy suddenly paused and again looked at me. He took a deep breath. Its eyes darkened. "Perhaps this friend of yours will decide to leave me again, and I won't be able to find you again." He turned to Candy again.Candy grinned. "You don't want that; play hide and seek again? It's fun, don't you want that?" Troy's face crumpled and eventual
