I quickly pulled out when it was a few minutes before twelve. I was exhausted while dressing in the locker room when Annie came in frowning and obviously surprised to see me.I ignored her and continued dressing. She approached the locker next to mine because it's hers. She slowly opened it and changed as well. When I finished, I closed my locker and slung my bag over my shoulder."You said .. you're just friends?" I lazily stopped walking and slowly looked at her with tired eyes. Word spread that Loren had a girlfriend, and he did not deny that it was me.I never thought of being mad at her for just simply liking Loren, but please not tonight. I'm tired physically and mentally, I don't want any more headaches."Not anymore." I just said and turned my back on her.Yes, I also feel guilty because I lied to her before, I should not be angry now because she knows nothing else about what is really going on. But I couldn't help but be annoyed because it was a very small thing that she alwa
"You'll always be careful here." I instructed Yana as we exited her unit. It's already 5am in the morning, and I'm ready for Cole and I to leave back to Nueva Ecija."Yeah, yeah, be careful too .. you haven't introduced me to your childhood friend yet, ah." She says.Of course, I've been busy at school for the past few days — well I've always been busy, but I need to double my studies especially since my GWA is important in applying as an underbar paralegal at Manila and Associates Law Firm .Because of that, I never met Yana for our sessions. Her performance at school is also okay and I don't think it makes such a big difference if I can't teach her for at least two weeks. When I went home to her unit, I'm already sleepy so I didn't introduce Cole to him."Next time," I said and we finally got out of her unit. She was still wearing her silk pajamas suit and she didn't bother to wash before taking me here outside her door."Hmm, all right ..." she answered obviously sleepily.We looke
Me:I can't go home yet, there's an emergency here. How are you?I waited for his reply. I was supposed to be back early in the morning, but since Gino is sick, I chose to miss class first. Today is Tuesday, November 3. He is for sure busy so I wasn't surprised when a few hours later, there was still no reply.He wasn't able to text or call last night and yesterday. I'm not angry, in fact I'm worried because when I last saw him he wasn't really well.He seems to be neglecting himself and he is too focused on studying that he never did before.I sighed and just left my cellphone at home. I just came home here to get Gino and mama's clothes. Gino was admitted to a public hospital, but when chest x-rays and blood tests were performed and the doctor confirmed that Gino did have Pneumonia, we decided to transfer him to a private hospital today. I will use the rest of my money from my last salary that I should pay for the apartment for this month.Because Gino can't stay long in that public
The next day, I left to Manila. Cole drove me again but I was alone when I got to my apartment.I didn’t expect the landlady to meet me with her forehead furrowed and holding her big belly."Two weeks ago the rent was due, hija. I'm about to give birth, I need the money, I hope you understand ..."My grip tightened on the door knob. I haven't even been able to enter, yet, another problem will confront me.I sighed and nodded softly, "I'm sorry, Celly, I'll just send it to your house when I have money.""Oh, when will that be?"I scratched my eye because I didn’t know what to answer. Honestly I have really nothing right now. I left the rest of my money with mama, I didn't spend it on the trip because Cole answered that. The only thing left for me is the fare to the Rockwell building."I'll take a look ..."As planned, I went straight to the hall after I put my things down in the apartment. I didn't even take a shower, I didn't even think about how I looked so stress of school even thou
A year after that incident my life has not been easy. Mom almost exploded in anger when we found out I was pregnant.I was always dumbfounded and didn’t know what to do. I can't believe I lost in my mind that I had the possibility of getting pregnant. I was so mad at myself, Loren, and Ella. If they get together because she got Ella pregnant .. what about me? How about our my child?I postponed taking the BAR exam. I hated myself even more because I thought I would never fulfill my dream. I had intended to work while I could, but Cole stopped me. We only cling to him when we have problems all this time. It's embarrassing but we can't do anything.I finished the last sem of law school, my tummy wasn't growing yet. I passed, but there were no special awards I should have gotten then. I am grateful to Atty. Felasco because of the consideration he gave me. He said the MALF offer is still open for me because I am still qualified. But I didn’t get that right away because I was pregnant.Mom
"For now, come with me."I almost fell on my knees when his familiar smell wafted through my nose. My knees were weakening, but when I realized what he had said I quickly turned around and saw him walking away.I wondered as I watched him not look back. God .. he's here. He's really here! I even managed to slap myself just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I wish it was all just a dream, my son is in danger!"Celine, stop that." Kyo stopped me when he saw I slapped myself. I turned to him."I'll be back, you're stay here first." I said and quickly turned away from him even though he hadn't answered yet.I followed Loren. He turned into a hallway and I tailed. He was a bit far away but I didn't speed up the walk. I let my eyes scan his back.There is something in me that motivates me to run and hug him. I want to cry and apologize, I want to say that I'm sorry I left him — that I didn't listen to his plea. I didn’t give him a chance no matter how many times he listened to me. I regret th
Cohen has been transferred to the recovery room after a successful operation on him. I thought he will be in the intensive care unit, but Dra. Iran that he has no chronic illness and he is also not critical. He just needs to recover from the operation.According to the doctor, six or more months will be counted before he can finally recover. For her first two months, she will need to wear a shoulder immobilizer or sling. He also recommended that I register with Cohen for a physical therapy program next to the hospital so that he could recover quickly.I was devastated to realize he had to go through it at a young age. He is now asleep in bed and I am the only one with him here in his room. I sat next to him and rested on my thigh the Envelope containing a copy of my CT Scan earlier. I haven’t slept yet and I also have no news from the firm because I don’t want to leave and take my cellphone out of the car.I thought Cohen might wake up and suddenly go hungry, but there was no food her
"How's your son now?" Atty Ismael Moreno asked.We’re talking now on the phone while I’m packing Cohen’s clothes. He was confined to the hospital for a few days so his belongings had to be fixed so that I would not have to go back and forth."The operation was successful, he's recovering now, Attorney." my answer.I called him because I was planning to say I'm taking leave for a few days. I don't want to write a written excuse since I don't have time anymore. They found out what had happened and delivered support to us."That's good to hear, are you planning to take legal actions regarding this? This is a direct assault of attempted murder, Celine."My teeth chattered when I remembered that. I took a deep breath and let go of the dress I was holding. I know very fucking well what to do with those fucktards, but the witness wasn't that of help since the suspects weren't recognized. There's no cctv cameras around the area and the vehicle used doesn't have a plate number. There are also
