Chapter 12
What am I gonna do? Ethan said that he’s gonna call me and I just nodded. I didn’t even tell him my answer to what he confessed to me. Should I tell him that I like him too? I wanted to be honest with myself and to admit that I like him is one of the best options to do. I was cleaning one of the rooms at around three in the afternoon when I felt my phone vibrated; I looked at who was calling me at this hour. My heart leaped when I saw that it was an unregistered number. This could be Ethan. I answered it and waited for the person on the other line to speak.
“Hello?” He said.
“Hi.” Yeah, it’s Ethan.
“Are you busy?” He asked me.
“Yes.” I said without blinking an eye.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll—“ He said but I cut him off.
“I mean, with the internship and all,” I said because I thought I sounded rude.
“Of course, how silly of me to call you at this hour.” He said while laughing. “I’ll just call you later tonight?” He said
“Is everybody here? Who’s missing?” The HR head said.Today is Sunday and the schedule of our meeting for Mr. Nathaniel Ledesma’s retirement. Klaress and I sat beside each other.
I snapped back from my imagination when the seatbelt lock clicked. I opened my eyes to see Ethan back in his seat. “You shouldn’t forget your seatbelt every time you ride a car.” He said. “That’s for your safety.”
I was staring at my reflection in the mirror. It has been an hour since Ethan dropped me here earlier. I still can’t get over what happened today. I had so much fun with him. My heart is full of happiness.I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on my door. I stood up and opened it.“Hey,” Klaress said. “How was it?”“It was fine.&rdqu
Abbigayle’s POVI went to the hotel earlier than usual because today is the retirement party for Mr. Nathaniel Ledesma. The hotel staffs were pretty much busy and that didn’t exclude us. We were back and forth the hall and the hotel for the decorations, tables, chairs and everything that’s needed to be done for the party.“Abby, can you put these on the chairs?” Miss Sam said.
Abbigayle’s POVI looked at myself in the mirror, I looked presentable and formal. I put on some lipstick and I was ready to go. I went downstairs and entered straight to the hall where the party is held. This is gonna be a busy night for me. I scanned the whole place and saw Klaress talking to some people, probably her aunts and uncles. I looked for Ethan, he’s nowhere to be found. Where is he?“Looking for someone?” I smiled when I heard him from behind me. I turned to face him.
Abbigayle’s POVI woke up feeling a bit warm. I sat down and noticed that I am in my bed already. Why am I here? I remembered that I was locked at the storage room. I scanned the whole room and saw Ethan sleeping, sitting on a chair and his head is on the bed just by my side. I stared at him. What happened? Why is he here with me? I couldn’t recall what happened, I just remembered that I was at the storage room and maybe I fell asleep. Did he found me there? I wanted to wake him up and ask him but I am too guilty to do that seeing that he is sleeping peacefully. I ran my eyes through his face; he is gorgeous even when he’s sleeping. I smiled at that thought.
We arrived at our house at around one in the afternoon. I told Ethan to just park his car in front of our house.“Right here,” I said. “That’s our house.”“Wow, it’s good-looking,” Klaress said. “I’m excited to see the inside.”“Let’s go,” I said. “I’m sure they’re waiting for us.”I took my bag from the backseat and waited for them to step out.“Come on bro, you’re too slow.” Klaress said“I’m coming, chill.” Ethan said.“Abby? You’re here already!” Mom said.“Hi, mom.” I said.“I missed you so much, you silly child you seldom call us.” She said. “Dad! Abby’s here.”“You’re really home,” Dad said and hugged me. “I’ve missed you.”“I missed you too
Abbigayle’s POVI was laughing at Klaress while she was feeding the goats. She looks like she’s having so much fun. “Oh my God, no, not my hands! Aaaah!” Klaress squealed.“Don’t you want to try it?” I asked Ethan.
