Lovella

Remained composed and acted as if nothing had happened at all. That's how I can get through in front of him.

One of the staff members brought me to this location, which is secluded and separate from the restaurant's diners.

Nakahanda na nga naman ang pagkain nang pumasok ako at si Riley ay nakatayo malapit sa malaking bintana na tanaw ang dagat. May kausap siya sa kabilang linya.

"That's all for today. Thank you."

Rinig ko ito mula sa kanya. Ibinaba niya ang cell phone at saka ngumiti sa akin.

"Lovella. . ." He looked so fresh and looked so good as he strode towards me, ready to embrace me.

"Pasensya na kung natagalan ako." Umiwas ako sa kanya, at umupo agad ako sa pwesto na para sa akin. Dalawa lang din naman ang upuan rito.

"Thank you for the food. They all look delicious. Let's eat!" My body shook at that. I still avoided making eye contact with him.

Hindi ko na siya hinintay na ma upo sa harapan ko. Hindi ko pa nga siya makuhang titigan dahil magpahanggang n

    Chapter 24.Lovella's POV"Where are we going?" I asked, confused now.Binuksan niya ang metal na pinto patungo at pa rooftop ito. At nang makalabas kami ay tumambad sa amin ang isang pribadong helicopter. Naka-andar na ito. May piloto na sa loob at hinihintay lang kami."Let's talk somewhere, " he said as he brought my hair to my back and tied it together with his hand. I could only look at him, and he was serious about it. I held my hair on my side as he let go and removed the necktie he was wearing. He wrapped it around my hair and then smiled."Let's go."Maingay, pero nababasa ko ang bawat salitang bigkas ni Riley. Pumwesto ako sa loob at siya na mismo ang naglagay ng seatbelt ko. Tumabi siya at saka automatikong sinarado ang pinto. At bago umangat ang helicopter sa ere ay pinasuot niya muna sa ako ang headphone rito."Can you hear me now?""Oo...""Good."I feel the thrill, and I'm anxious about the situation I am in. Riley holds my hand and gently squeezes it."It will only ta

    Chapter 23.Riley's POV"Are you okay, son?" si Mama sa akin. Itinago ko na agad ang cell phone. Naka-mute na ito."Yes. All good, Mama. I was just messaging someone," I said, now holding her hand."Oh, I see. . . Importante ba? Go on, you can call her. I'm good.""No, Mama. All good now. How's your leg?"Mama's leg was a little sore. She fell, and that leg part is where she got hurt."It's getting better, son. Thank you."Hinawakan ko na ang kamay ni Mama at iginiya siya para ma upo muna. Nakatayo lang din ako sa tabi niya habang hinihintay naman na matapos ang lahat.It's the company's celebratory event for the night. The visitors are all a mix of the business and close ones."Uhm, I invited a few people from the scholarship program, Riley. Remember your school back in the university?"My eyebrows met. I nodded as I remembered it."May isang galing sa school mo noon. Full scholar siya ng C&Co."I smiled sweetly at my mother. "Who, Mama?""Oh, you didn't know? I forgot her name. But

    Chapter 22.Lovella's POVKabado man ay nilakasan ko ang loob.I feel confident as I look around me. The place is majestic, covered in the new era of designs. It has a business vibe mixed with ancient design. The people around me are not familiar to me, and I'm sure most of them belong to this elite society.Swerte na ako na nandito sa event na ito at na-imbitahan. Malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa C&Co. Sila ang kaisa-isang sponsor ko noon, at hinding-hindi ko iyon makakalimutan.Riley called me this morning. He will be busy for the day and he will meet me tomorrow. Gusto ko sanang isama siya ngayon sa event, pero hindi natuloy ang pag imbita ko sa kanya, dahil may magaganap raw na importanteng meeting siya ngayong gabi. Kliyente raw ito ng kompanya at hindi niya puwedeng iwan.Honestly, I'm getting used to Riley being with me now. It feels like my day is not complete without him. I'm okay with him visiting me in my unit. I'm happy being with him and spending time talking. Kahit na manon

    Chapter 21.Riley's POV"You have someone important to you? Who? Do I know her?" Megan looked at me in confusion, shocked by the revelation I had made."Look, Megan, you are a great person, and what happened to us back then was meant to happen. I have no regrets.""But I have my regrets, Riley, and I'm here to correct them. Am I too late?"I nodded weakly. "I'm sorry. . ."She scoffed and shook her head in disbelief."Then why invite me here? Why show me your family? Why accept me again?"I took a deep breath and faced her once again."Megan, magkaibigan ang mga magulang natin. Gusto ka ni Mama at walang duda iyon. Pero hanggang dito na lang tayo," napaigting ang panga ko."We can never be the same again. We've passed that already, and it's too late to mend everything...""I'm in love with someone else and I don't want to lose her.""Oh, I see. . ." Mahina siyang tumango at saka natawa sa sarili."I have move na rin naman, Riley. Ano ka ba! Nagbibiro lang naman ako kanina. Of course,

    Chapter 20.Lovella's POVSo, it was true.Ugly feelings enveloped me, making me feel uncomfortable and defeated. It hurts me badly. Why is that? To think Riley and I have no label at all.Wala namang kami. Hindi ko siya boyfriend. Hindi ko hawak ang mga gusto niyang gawin. Hindi ko siya pwedeng pagbawalan na makipagkita sa ex niya o makipag-date sa iba. Pero bakit masakit? Nasasaktan ako at hindi ko ito gusto.I walked to my room after dinner with Theresa. She talked the entire time while I just nodded.Walang pumapasok sa utak ko. Hindi ako makapag-concentrate man lang. Ibang damdamin ito. Hindi katulad nang kay Liam noon.I cried when I saw Liam and Ivy making out. It hurt me, but those feelings were somehow different from what I am feeling now. After that, those feelings vanished quickly into thin air. But with Riley? I felt it right through my gut. It's hurting deeply, and I'm jealous.Gusto ko siyang tawagan at kumustahin. Gusto kong ipaliwanag sa kanya kung bakit un-attended a

    Chapter 19.Riley's POVI was disappointed to see them together, and I couldn't move now. They had just left a minute ago, and I couldn't bring myself to walk away.Damn, it. I'm so jealous. Why does she have to go with him?Akala ko ba ay wala na sila? Akala ko ba ay galit siya kay Liam dahil sa ginawa nito? May mali ba akong nagawa sa mga nakaraang araw? Hindi niya ba talaga ako gusto?"Riley? Is that you?"I composed myself and looked in the direction from which someone called my name. It was Theresa."Oh my goodness! Kanina ka pa ba? Did you see Lovella leaving with..." She couldn't finish the right words to say, and her eyes went down to the flowers I held."Uhm, I believe they're only talking. Akala ko ba nasa Maynila ka pa?"I smiled and sighed. "I will be back in Manila now anyway. I only escaped an hour from work to see Lovella. But it seems like she's not here... that's alright." I gritted my teeth, and my chest hurt."Can you give this to her." Inilahad ko ang bulaklak kay
