I Saw You CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Mission
“We’re here!” Amanda announced. I blinked three consecutive times and Victoria disappeared. Her image glitched in my eyes and it made me anxious. I shook my head to shove the image and looked around restless. “Serra, are you alright?” Grip grabbed the sides of my head and made me look at him. “You look pale.” He put the back of his hand on my forehead to check my temperature. I shook my head up and down as a response. We went out of the car and the lady in uniform led our way. We all entered the elevator at once. They kept on talking but I couldn’t understand anything. My mind was clouded by what I saw in the car. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. I was about to face Grip but through the corners of my eyes, I saw Victoria’s reflection on the elevator’s wall. She was looking at me and was smiling wickedly. I immediately scanned the place but saw no sign of her. I nibbled my lip. I could just ask her what she wanted but I couldn’t in front of everyone. I don’t want to scare them.
I Saw You CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Sorry
SERRA I didn’t report to my part-time job because we spent the night studying for the midterms. I just notified Grandma Harrison earlier that day. Today was the last day of our midterm exams. Every test was difficult especially for those who didn’t study well. I was kind of frustrated because while taking the exam on subjects I find easy the time seemed like slowing down. I ended up receiving an earful from our examiner for sleeping while answering the test. It was the last subject and I fell asleep. I finished answering it after half an hour but didn’t pass it right away to avoid pressuring my classmates so I fell asleep while waiting for someone to pass first. The examiner only stopped scolding me when Grip passed his answers and went out of the room. I stayed about ten minutes long before going out of the room too. I passed my answer at the same time our department’s president passed his. I went out of the room ahead of him. I looked around to look for Grip but he wasn’t anywher
I Saw You CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Too Late
“It’s okay.” I reached his cheeks and planted soft kisses on his lips. He smiled and kissed me on the top of my forehead. I went to my bed and took the box out. I separated the papers we sorted out already. Grip picked up the cups and went to the kitchen. “What do you want for dinner?” He peeped his head. “Anything will do,” I answered and returned my attention to the paper. “Did I hear dinner?” Gugu poked her head out of my bed. “Stop making such creepy entrance, Gugu.” I clutched my chest and took deep breathes. Was this because of the coffee? We spent half of the hour sorting the files with the help of Gugu while Grip was busy in the kitchen. I paused when a spicy aroma burst in the air. I followed the scent and it led me to the kitchen. Grip was preparing three bowls of hot ramen. “About time. Dinner is ready.” He beckoned me and he even pulled a chair for me. “Gugu, dinner time!” he called. Gugu appeared in the kitchen in no time. Grip handed us the utensils and we dug in
I Saw You CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Rank and Pride
Warm kisses of air showered my face. I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Grip’s sleeping face. My lips formed a smile on their own. See-ers are warned through their visions and some visions come in a form of dreams. I got a three-fourth of a sweet dream and one-fourth of a nightmare and seeing Grip first thing in the morning washed my worries away. I slowly raised his arm that was snaked on my waist but he groaned and tightened his hold around me and pulled me closer to him. I studied his face and trailed my finger from the space between his brows down to his bridge to the tip of his nose and his lips. I inclined over and gave him a quick smooch on the lips but his hand on my waist swiftly raised to my nape pulling me back into a kiss. His lips alternately gave love to my top and bottom lip. “Your morning breathe tastes sweet,” he said after breaking the kiss and opened his eyes. I immediately inched my face away and covered my lips with my hands. He chuckled and
I Saw You CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: I Saw You Die
“Isn’t that Shenzhen Nongke orchids?” “That’s two hundred thousand dollars per piece!” “D*mn so lucky!” “Prayer reveal!” “How to be Serra?” I hit Grip’s side using my elbow to get his attention. “This is expensive. You should have given it to me in cash!” I moped. This was so impractical! I would have been rich and be able to leave this place. I may sell this but I couldn’t. It came from Grip and the sentimental value is higher than its price. “Don’t worry. I didn’t pay for it but I picked it and chose every flower myself. I chose the best because that is what you deserve.” He proudly presented that made me frown more. “So you stole these?” I lowered my voice. I don’t want everyone to know it was stolen. It would bring too much humiliation. I felt awful. I got butterflies in my stomach over stolen flowers geez! “They are not stolen. Someone I knew gave them to me...” He paused as if he was reminiscing. “Was forced to gave to me rather,” he muddled really good that I didn’t u
I Saw You CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: We’ll Get There
“When I held his hand I saw his evil deeds instead of his death,” I told him what I saw, every single detail. “Calm down, Serra. Maybe it was what the heavens want you to see.” He held my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. “Does the heavens want me to stay awake all night my entire life?” I said annoyed. Who could sleep seeing that? Feeling that? I was him for god*mn seconds and of all seconds of his life, it was that seconds! I felt like it was me who raped that poor young student. I felt dirty. “Serra, look.” Grip cupped my face and directed my sight to his hypnotizing brown eyes. “It wasn’t you. Okay?” He caressed my cheeks, kissed my head, and put our foreheads against each other. After spending some moments in the garden we decided to go back to the dorm and I decided to sleep in his room. I could bear sleeping beside him with his roommates but he got none. I guess it was a bad choice. Gugu didn’t come along since she was with Amara tonight. Lulu accompanied Kate to her phot
I Saw You CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: I Will Come Running
I woke up with the space beside me empty. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hands. I yawned and got up from bed. I went to the kitchen but no one was there. “Grip?” I called but no one answered. Maybe he went out. I head to the door and went out of his unit. I was frozen to my spot as everyone in the huge hallway turned in my direction. They were all wearing black cloaks and holding a scythe. They are not students. I are not in our dorm! “D*mn, Serra!” Grip wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me inside. I stared at him blankly. It took me time to process what the hell was going on. “Where are we?” At last, I was able to untangle my tongue. “Reaper’s den.” He pulled me with him to the kitchen. He pulled a chair for me to sit. “Is it alright to bring me here? Won’t they reap me? Won’t they report you to the heavens?” I nervously asked. “If it’s prohibited then I shouldn’t have brought you here,” he said while making two cups of coffee. “They won’t reap you unless it’s
I Saw You CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Defective Items
“I just can’t let you die, Jann.” I blocked his way using my body. He didn’t say a word and just dodged me. I ran after him and blocked his way again. He ruffled his hair in annoyance. “Until when are you going to do this?” “I won’t stop until I convince you.” I raised my chin at him to show my determination. “Fine do what you want!” At last, he gave up. Being annoying has an advantage sometimes. We stopped in front of his office. He reached the knob and wrapped his hand around it. I couldn’t take my eyes off his hand. Especially the red stains. He swiftly opened the door and hid his hand behind him. I think he noticed me. I pushed him aside and went in first but he pulled me out using my shirt. “Where are you going?” He raised a brow at me. “Inside?” I responded uncertain and glanced at his hand again. “It’s just you and me inside, Miss Hilario. Isn’t it inappropriate for a grown-up lady and a grown-up man to stay alone inside a room?” he stated nonchalantly and crossed his ar
