CELINE’s POV

-

My picture on Tristan’s lock screen is me looking at the camera, but as far as I can remember, no one took a picture of me like this when I was in school. I barely talk to others. I didn’t even have social media accounts because my parents forbade me to create any kind of account.

Tristan glanced at me, then he took his phone and looked at my picture displayed on it.

“About this?” When Tristan looked back at me, he paused for a while. “You look like you didn’t remember?” Tristan asked, laughing.

“Which one? Which one did I not remember?” I asked in surprise. “You’re not a stalker, are you?”

“What?” Tristan laughed out loud. “When I saw you again six years ago, I thought it was destiny that we would meet, yet you think I’m a stalker?”

“I don’t understand, Tristan.” I was still confused as I asked him.

Some of my memories then I forgot something, because nothing stuck in my mind was how I suffered from my family since I was a child and I only remembered a few things and t

    CELINE’s POV-I was dumbfounded by what I heard and speechless with astonishment at what I found out behind Tristan’s lock screen. It was so meaningful that even I couldn’t believe it.Tristan drank his ice chocolate drink before speaking again with a dazzling smile. “It’s okay that you still don’t remember what I said, but maybe you won’t think that I’m a stalker?” he playfully said.I shook my head. “No... But I am lost for words. Because I’m not… I can’t believe it.”Tristan moved closer to me. “Can I hug you?”I nodded absentmindedly. “Yes.”As Tristan gently hugged me, my chest tightened. I felt the edge of my tears. Suddenly, the fear and pain I felt at the hands of my parents returned. I was scared, I was helpless.....**(FLASHBACK: Third year middle school)**-Just like the previous years, no one planned to make friends with me this school year. Because besides the fact that I still don’t know how to talk to other people, my fellow students are already avoiding me because

    CELINE’s POV - Tristan broke away from the hug and gazed at me. He cupped my face and wiped my tears with his thumb. “If you’re not ready for me to even hug you, that’s fine with me, Celine. Just because I told you I have been waiting for you to love me for a long time does not mean you obligate you to love me right away. I’d rather wait over ten years than force you to love me.” Tristan took a step away from me, then let out a sigh. “I thought I couldn’t talk about it. I have no intention of telling you about this matter yet.” “Why?” I question curiously. “You might think that I’m pressuring you to love me back. Because of this picture,” he said, laughing. If I hadn’t asked about that picture, maybe I wouldn’t remember what happened then. The thing I don’t even remember is that I once had a crush on Tristan. What a playful chance. My intense fear crippled me, preventing me from fulfilling my wish of being with my crush, Tristan, even for a moment at the prom. “Tristan, why d

I squeezed my pillow.“I have a tickle there, Celine.” I heard Tristan giggle.Immediately I opened my eyes and the smiles of my twins and Tristan’s face opened up to my sight.“Good morning, mummy!” The three speak, but the voices of my twins are loud.I hugged Tristan while one of my feet rested on his thigh.Tristan and I talked a lot last night, and I just fell asleep here.He opens up to me with something about his family, just like his brother, who is looking for his first love, the reason he doesn’t want to get married either. His father has been cheating on his wife several times and he never does not want to imitate his father in such a thing and one of reasons Tristan doesn’t want to come back to his family.

The travel time will only be ten minutes, unlike here where the travel will take almost an hour to get there.I signed the contract, the one Tristan gave me. Afterwards he asked me who I wanted to be there with so I said it was Bianca and the rest that I would be with was Tristan, who asked our staff.Due to the impending reduction in staff, Tristan is busy dealing with the applicants who have applied here. He wants to screen the applicants himself like before, but the problem is that there are too many applicants.It’s fine with Tristan that the applicant has no experience, however most of the girls who applied flirted with him. There’s even a woman who asked Tristan to marry him during the interview.“There are still a lot of applicants.” Bianca said, laughing after taking the resumes of

After Bianca got a menu book and left us, I put my total attention on Lance.“Good day, sir.” I smiled at him.“Your smile makes me melt.”“I hope you melt now,” I whispered.“Ha? What are you talking about, Celine?”“I said here is the menu book, sir.”I handed the menu book to Lance that he accepted and looked at. Unlike a while ago, when he was looking at the menu book with a bored look, his smile now reached his eyes.“You can sit down while waiting for me to order.” Lance stated that the smile on his lips would not disappear.I shook my head. “No, Sir. We can’t do that.” I reason.We had little strict house rules here at the restaurant, as long as we served well and there was no harm.“Your feet may get hurt while waiting for my order.”“You don’t have to worry, sir.” I kept smiling.“It’s up to you.

    CELINE’s POV-“Thank you,” I told the server who helped me with what I ordered.“Ma’am, what are you planning to do here? Why did you put the table here?” he asked me.“Nothing. Suddenly, I thought. Alright, you can go back to work.” I said.He nodded and went down, though there was clear doubt on his face. He must have been curious about what I ordered for him because for the five years he was here, this was the first time I just did this kind of special treatment to a customer. Well, this is for my special VIP customer.I walked closer to Lance and, as before, a smile on his lips slowly fluttered once he saw me.“Celine.” He warmly called my name.My heart skips a beat every time Lance joyfully and excitedly calls out my name, even after all this time. I’m still not used to it. Every time he sees me and calls my name, he suddenly smiles. For three years we have been together. He barely calls me and if he mentions my name is lifeless.“Lance, I want to apologize to you for the mista

They miss you so much. “Are they excited about tomorrow?”“Yes, they are so excited about tomorrow.”“Glad to hear that. I have already booked our flight to Florida. Also, I have already booked a hotel where we will stay.”“What? What?” I asked in surprise.Tristan stopped arranging his things on the table, then looked at me. “Why? Is there a problem? Don’t you want to go to Florida?”“No… that’s not what I meant. I’m just surprised that you’ve taken care of everything. I am about to ask you about our hotel and flight, which I would have taken care of now, but you have already done it. And it makes

I put the basin back in its original place, threw away the white towel, and washed my hands. After drying my hands, I walked out of the bathroom. The moment I opened the door, I found Celine standing in front of it, waiting for me.“What now?” I asked with annoyance. “What do you need again–”I didn’t expect what she did. With her kisses, she silenced me.She came close to me, tip toe, and pulled the collar of dress polo and kissed me. Her lips moved slowly and gently. My body reacted quickly to her simple kiss. My hands moved spontaneously towards her body and brought her body closer to mine. I slide my tongue inside her mouth and gently bite her nibble and, a moan escapes from her mouth.I brought Celine to the bed without breaking the kiss. I let go of the kiss when she sat down on the bed and I leaned forward as she held my nape.“Lance…” she ca

But if she deceived me for five years, she was capable of doing it again.I wasn’t mad at Bianca for having an affair with Lucian. I was mad at her for ignoring our friendship and my trust in her.“About…”I looked at my phone screen and saw she ended the call. Out of nowhere, worry overcame me.I attempted to phone her number, but my attempt failed. Was it possible she had something important to say? If so, what about it?
