I silently put my attention back in front and pretended not to see him. What was he doing here? Suddenly, my mind wandered back to when he joked, 'See you there', when we're still in EGL. Looks like he did exactly what he said. But I thought he was just kidding me!
Sighing, I tried hard to ignore his presence and put my mind at ease. Then I joined the other fans when they sing along. "I am drowning in your lifeless eyes, they meet mine. You captivated my soul. Oh, I am under your spell."
And I yelled, "Vine! I love you!"
I got drunk in their song. I spun around, jumping up and down. I headbanged and screamed at the top of my lungs. "Oh! I'm under your spell! I love you, Vine!"
"Why are you shouting so loud?" Lyndon asked suddenly, but because the music was so loud, I didn't hear what he said. So I ignored him and kept looking straight ahead. But he made his voice louder for me to hear. "Miss Larica!"
The corner of my lips twitched. I th
I stayed inside the covered court because I thought Lyndon would not enter. But who I was kidding? It's foolish to think that he's restricted to enter the covered court. When I saw him entered while panting slightly, I walked away from the crowd so people wouldn't notice that he and I both knew each other. I saw from the corner of my eye how Ate Rosan, like what she did earlier, gave Lyndon a bottled water too and even invited him to the activity. If I hadn't begged Ate Rosan to let me stay earlier, I probably would have run outside as soon as I saw him walk into the court. But I can't just run away after I asked to stay, right?"I am the youth minister of our church," Ate Rosan said. She pointed a finger on the decorations around the place. "We will have an outreach program to the youth here in Tawala. It should start at seven o'clock but the worship team hasn't arrived yet."Lyndon nodded then glanced at me. I quickly looked away and pret
After saying goodbye to Ate Rosan, I quickly went out of that covered court. I didn't notice Lyndon following me. My feet halted when I heard footsteps behind me and when I turned around, I saw him following me.I frowned. Still not done with what he's trying to do?So I ran away but he chased after me! My jaw clenched and I thought about halting and waiting for him in an alley.I folded my arms. "Let's get it straight to the point. What are you getting at, Lyndon? I said I don't know what happened in that victimless crime, okay? No matter how many times you ask me, I'll always give the same answer!"He stopped in front of me. I couldn't read his thoughts because he kept staring at me with no emotion in his eyes. After a while, he sighed. "But all evidences are pointing at you, Rishell."I blinked, the corner of my lips twitching. "Maybe the gunshot that the two witnesses heard were fake." Then I stared at him. "Aling Pechay said tho
I was quietly reading CLGF's story when suddenly someone knocked on the hotel room door. I quickly put down the cellphone and opened it. A man wearing the hotel crew's uniform was the first thing I saw. He smiled when he saw me. "Good morning, Ma'am! Room service!""Oh." I smiled back and looked down at the tray of food he was carrying. "Thank you. Just put it on the bed."He stepped inside and placed the tray on top of the small table that he had also brought earlier, before he bid goodbye to me. I closed the door and stretched my arms out, yawning a little. I've been reading on the phone for hours and my eyes were a bit tired.I approached the entrance of the balcony and opened the curtain. I closed my eyes when the sunlight hit my eyes. I just noticed that the sun has risen completely in the east.I left the curtain on the balcony open to let the sunlight in. Then I hopped to the bed and enjoyed the food. A few minutes later, the crew came
The saleslady smiled and said, "5,990 pesos, Ma'am." I gazed on the dress she was holding. "Too expensive. Is that the fix price?""Ah, Ma'am, the prices on the Mall are fix," she said then looked at me from head to toe.The corner of my lips twitched. I was offended by what she did but I have no reason to confront her. It was true that the prices in this place are fix and the woman in front of me might be thinking that I was one of those who couldn't afford it.Well, the truth was that I can afford the dress, but I worried that I won't have the money to pay for it later. Afterall, it was Tiden's money that I would use. Mama took back my credit card because I spent too much for these past few months. Both of my cheeks burned red in embarrassment when other customers in queue looked at me differently. Some of them even snickered as they whispered to each other. So I had no choice but to give my the card to the saleslady. "Here," I said.
My heart is pounding. I can't help it. I don't even know what can be done to get rid of my feelings for him. Nope. I don't know --- or it's more correct to say I have no intention of letting go of my feelings for Levi.He's the first. Out of the many men who came into my life, he was the only one who stood out. I can't explain why. If only I could pull him to my side... If only I could.I stepped back and pushed him lightly. He turned his face away from me. "Rish?" His eyes were asking.I looked away and panted slightly. "W-What are you doing, L-Levi?""Kissing you."I quickly stared into his eyes again. I'm not stupid. I know he's kissing me. "I mean... Nicole. How about her?"He frowned. "What about her?""She's... Uhm..." What is the relationship between the two? I touched my cheek. "Your fling?" I sighed. Of course. I knew that I was more of a fling than Nicole who's been with him the all this time. But he said
Morning, they say, is a new hope and a new beginning. But not for me.I was awake for the entire night, staring at the wall opposite the bed while my back was leaning against the headboard. When Levi brought me back last night, I didn't sleep anymore. My eyes were tired but all I could do was yawn and keep them open, staring at the wall dumbfounded.I'm tired. My eyelids are very heavy but I'm afraid if I sleep, I'll forget Levi and what happened last night, thinking it's just a dream. I slowly raised my finger to my lips. I can still feel the heat of his kiss as we stood at the entrance of the door. ~Earlier~"Levi," I said. I slid my hand from his shoulder down to his chest and my palm stayed there.He rubbed my back several times, and sometimes he put his hand in the side -- looking for an entrance into my dress. He let go of me and caught his breath. "Rishel..."I drew a breath again and again. I grabbed the
I dreamed of Levi kissing me under the stars. I don't know what his kiss tastes like because I woke up and couldn't remember anything. The wind caressed my face. I looked outside the window. I'm in the car, and the sun is shining. What did I dream again? I looked at the driver's seat and was stunned for a few minutes. I frowned. "Lyndon?""You're awake."I looked outside the window. "Where are you taking me?""Sit back. We're driving home.""Home?" My forehead creased even more. "What home?"The car stopped when the traffic light turned red in the distance. The Lyndon turned to me. "Stop playing tricks, Larica. What happened to you? Earlier, you seemed stressed and haven't slept.""Huh?" I turned to him and stared at his face. The car started running again. I shook my head and closed my eyes tightly. "Hey, what am I doing in your car?"He clicked his tongue and laughed a little. "I'll take you f
Tiden still hasn't called me since the concert. I was wondering but I didn't dare call him too because he might be busy. I frowned at the phone but it remained silent.Someone knocked on the door so I opened it. I saw Husea standing there. She smiled when she saw me. "Someone is giving this to you, Miss."She handed over a paper bag which I immediately accepted. I closed the door again and peeked inside the paper bag. I raised my eyebrows when I saw a CD. What is it?I walked over to the bed and opened the paper bag, then I went to the DVD player and turned it on and connected the player to the Bluetooth speaker.I was shocked to hear Vine's latest music. I smiled widely but frowned as I remembered something. I quickly reached for the paper bag that contained the CD but there was no note where it came from. The only thing I'm sure of is that it's Vine's latest album!I laughed and shook my head. It might be from Tiden! He always send
