SUPERHERO
ROYCE
A few minutes had passed, but Nelly never said a word following Roxie's encounter. I brought her to my quarter to calm down. My eyes stuck at her innocent face as she sat opposite me. Her face down as she squeezed her hands. Nelly's chest rose and fell, which is quite different from ordinary; I could hear her breathing because of the silence that dominated between us.
Even if she hasn't uttered a word, I know that she's having an inner argument. The last thing I want her to think is questioning her worth just because Roxie belittled her.
"Do you wanna say something? Ask me anything."
I broke the silence. Only by then, Nelly lifted her head, her sight landed on mine. She straightened her body, her back on the cushion. All the while, never leaving my eyes that

GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE THE SURPRISE
ROYCE"What? That's your car," she said as she pointed at the car."Used to, but this is yours now. I want you to have it as a birthday gift. This was the first car I bought with my hard-earned money. That's why I'm choosing this as my late birthday gift for you. Giving a gift from my hard-earned money would be the best instead of relying upon my grandparents' wealth." I told Nelly, loud and proud, as I opened the driver's seat door.Nelly was staring at me the whole time I was talking and didn't say a word."If this is not your type, we can-""I like it," Nelly said, cutting me off. She pressed her lips before she let out a long breath. I would have offered to buy the latest model for her.&
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE I'M TAKING YOU HOME TONIGHT
NELINAA week has passed quickly, but still, the memories with Royce in the car were vivid to me. I love how he held me in his arms, the touch of his hands that sent warmth on my skin, and the way he pressed his lips on mine. My heart skipped a beat imagining Royce's face, overjoy clouded his features as he trailed his fingers on my cheek. I never thought there could be any safer place than the arms of my dad and my brother Mark.I was cut off from my daydream when the doorbell rang. It must be Marica. I threw a brief look in the mirror before I intended to attend who's on my door.I was about to grab my clutch bag when I saw the Mercedes Benz car key. The sentimental guy.
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE A YEAR TO CELEBRATE
ROYCERoyce inclined his arm around me and gently squeezed my shoulder, which was consoling. He smiled pleasantly when I glanced up at his face, and I took it as my assurance to stay calm."Uncle Philip, this is Nelly, my girlfriend, baby, my this is my uncle, Philip," Royce said as he looked at his uncle back and forth and me."Pleased to meet you, sir," I greeted as I offered a hand for a handshake.His facial expression softened, a smile crept on his lips."Finally, it's nice to meet you as well, Ms. Cruz," he said as he stood up and took my hand for a handshake.I felt a burden lifted from my shoulder when I saw him smile at me; before my thou
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE DANCING WITH THE DEVIL
NELINAI saw Marie dancing with Leo on the far left side, and there was Rico, Santi, and Andi, all of them, who had a girl; only God knows where they found them. Probably just in their circle of friends, it was an invitation-only party."Baby, why did you choose classical music?" I can't help myself but ask Royce. This is not the typical choice of men at his age. My face was an inch close to his. My hands clasped on his nape, his hands on my waist as we swayed to the melody."The music is one way of remembering my grannies; they like classical music," he said, shrugging his shoulders."Well, at their age, it's understandable, right? And to be honest, I was kind of learning to like it as well," he said as he showed an awkward grin. He must have been a little shy to
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE PRECIOUS GIFT
ROYCEI know I have to be honest with Nelly and confront her even though it won't be easy. Every time I lay my eyes on her innocent face, my heart melts."Baby, I have to ask you if you had any strange experiences in the past few days."Nelly seemed to contemplate my questions as we were alone with some of the hotel staff left. Then, finally, she had her own space to think clearly. By the look on her face, I sensed that she indeed had something to tell me."It's okay, baby; any small details would help.""Yeah, but let's not talk here. Can we go home?""After what happened tonight, I can't let you home alone in your condo. Stay with me."
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE ROYCE'S TORMENTING PAST
ROYCE"What are you both doing here?"Their presence came as a shock to me. Never did I dream of having them in my life again. When I was an innocent kid, I had wishful thinking of having them with me, the usual complete family like my friends. But those years are gone. I taught myself to accept things as they are and continue to live my life even without their presence. Who needs complete parents when you have the perfect grannies.Mom and Dad stared at me, both unable to speak right away. It must have been a miracle that got them together because they couldn't even stand being 5 meters close the last time I knew."Royce, who are they?" Nelly asked as she clung to my arms. I was contemplating what to say to her if I should tell her the truth or
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE HARD AS ROCK
NELINAI opened my eyes, and the first thing my eyes laid on was a beautiful man sleeping beside me. His face was a resemblance of stillness. Moving out of bed was hard when I got to see his whole face, eyes closed.Last night was difficult for him. I could tell by how he looked at his parents and when he returned after talking to them. I saw the pain in his eyes, like never before. I could never tell how hard it was for him, he tried to hide it from me, but a smile can't hide a hidden pain in his eyes.My heart tightened and sore for him. Royce sees me through every trouble I was in, not considering how he was in his own dilemma. I feel bad for not looking after him, and I think it was all about me. How did I end up like this? I was selfish.
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE SHOWER TOGETHER
NELINA "You have a late birthday gift for me, and now today, I'll give you my late birthday gift as well. How does it sound, Mr. Park?" Royce chuckled as he trailed a finger on my lips. "Sounds great, Mrs. Park." "Hey, you can't call me Mrs. Park. Take it back." "I said what I have to say, Mrs. Park. You'll be one soon," Royce said, pinching my chin. I rolled my eyes at him. "For now, let me give you a shower first," I said, opening the
