"Isn't that too much?,""Why? you can't afford it?" I was bored when he questioned the number of piercings I had taken. I no longer thought and looked at the price. I just picked up the earrings I liked."I can. But will you really wear all that—""And you care because? You want me to forgive you, don't you? Why are you complaining?"I explosively placed the piercings on the transparent glass counter top which I think where we will pay off. Because there were silver and high quality stainless steels earrings clinking so the two men looking at us were shocked.Luke blinked and his lips parted as he resisted my heavy gaze. He seemed surprised at what I said and did so I raised an eyebrow at him. Finally he sighed and nodded softly."Alright, sorry."I stared at him and folded my arms in front of the counter where there was still no one to take care of my pieces. I was surprised to see those two men and when our eyes met they almost pushed each other to insist on who would take our payme
Just as Luke said, he left before Monday and flew to Palawan. I don't know the reason why he was so anxious to leave, is he hiding something?It's been a week since that day and he still hasn't come home. I don't know, I just really remember him every time I wear piercings after school.Renovation of Sage’s studio on the second floor began on Monday and by next month it will definitely be finished. I don't ask him what the reason is but it looks like they will return to playing. It stopped then because Sage was in trouble in El Nido. I think it has something to do with his girl there, I heard he's going back and forth there e.Luke also can't be fixed here so they decided to postpone the playing for personal reasons — which is I don't know anymore.It's Friday and my class is early so I also left the mansion early. I only wore a white round neck shirt and high waist denim jeans because LCIU students don't have uniforms. Our lab coat is only worn when we enter the lab or when needed.I
My mind went blank when I stopped the mercedes at Lesyel’s Ink. I slammed the door shut and went inside.The wind chime rang because of the movement of the door so the two men who were also here last week looked at me.They looked at each other and someone with shorter hair quickly complied as I approached."W-what is it? Luke isn't here—""I don't need him. I'm going to get a piercing."The two looked at each other and seemed to be talking with their eyes, just as one of the two doors opened and a man with the same body as Luke came out.White, even in the distance is obvious being tall. Her complexion looks clean because she is white and has no tattoos, no piercings and I can’t deny her remarkable beauty.He walked towards the counter carrying some papers and when our eyes met I realized that Luke and I had a resemblance in the eyes."Yes?" Even his voice is as baritone as Luke. Are they siblings?"Boss, she's here to get a piercing.." Said someone close to me and walked towards the
"Damn it,""Shit wait,"The buzzer next to me rang, signaling that he had finished answering. I removed my gaze from the microscope lens opposite me and quickly wrote the name of the parasite in the parasite column of the answer sheet I was holding.I left there and pressed the buzzer before heading to the next microscope. We were almost dizzy at the excessive speed of the rotation. Others are too fast so our rotation is faster, no one can get caught because the next reason is more stuck in the queue for the stopping to be sympathetic.My left eye narrowed as I poked the microscope and tried to catch the microorganism that was there. I saw one of your bacteria and struggled to remember the name then. The buzzer next to me rang so I had no choice but to write.When I finished I pressed my buzzer and went straight to the next microscope. Just repeat, press, move, look, think, answer, and press again to move.I'm sure the names I answered are correct, the only problem is whether they are
After Sage and I had dinner, I went upstairs. Earlier, his bandmates came home and they didn't have dinner here so I didn't have to lock myself in the room to eat there.I took a nightgown out of the cabinet and went into the bathroom. I was immersed in the bath tub while thinking about what Luke had said. Will he also do something in Manila? So what? And why do we have to be together when I can do it myself?Why is he able to act normally and seem like nothing? Has he forgotten what he did to me? Then I don't. Because every time I close my eyes I see his puffy eyes staring at me. I could hear his low and baritone voice meeting my hearing. I could feel his warm and soft lips on my ear. Fuck, that doesn't seem to get out of my mind!Then he's just nothing? Looks like he didn't beat me up ?! I gasped and irritably buried my shoulders in the water. I don't want to see him. Just thinking that I can go with him on the trip makes me anxious. I’ve been restless lately because of overthinking
I was wide awake last night, I think I fell asleep at two o'clock and woke up at four o'clock because of our early trip. So when we were on the plane, I couldn't help but fall asleep. I just woke up when I heard PA so I frowned and opened my eyes.I saw the back of the flight passenger seat in front of my seat. I closed my eyes again because of the weight of my eyes. I adjusted the incline of my right cheek and became comfortable there again. The window is on my left and my right is— what the fuck!I quickly opened my eyes and got up from the incline. My vision rotated for a moment because of the speed with which I was moving. I turned to Luke who was looking at me in astonishment. All this time I fell asleep on his shoulder ?! Putangina ?!"Why are you so shocked there?" He seemed to have no question while holding a magazine.My annoyance did not subside and it only increased the thought of me leaning on him! Embarrassing and annoying! I guess I was so awake I didn't realize I did th
I woke up early because my body was used to that time during school hours. At six o'clock my eyes were awake but I did not get up. I was just stunned at the window covered by a thick and red curtain. Because of that it seemed dark inside my room even though the sun was shining outside.I don’t know if it will be midnight, or really midnight that I slept last night because I was restless. After Luke's answer to me, I stopped talking and turned my back on him.I approached the sleeping mother Ida and tried to get her to sleep so that she would be comfortable here on the sofa. He told me that he would sleep here so that Luke could use the room. That was another one of our long arguments but in the end I did nothing either.Luke soon went inside. When he saw that I was having a hard time getting along with my mother, he approached me."Why is she sleeping here?" He asked as he approached.I deliberately stepped aside to avoid because I was still confused by how I felt before and until now
It's one o'clock in the morning. I was wearing a black hoodie and black pants. Both of my hands were slid into its pockets and both were tightly clasped. The hood covered my head as I stood inside an old warehouse.Here I am at the place Benj said where the customer will meet me. I haven't done this in a long time, I told Benj before that I don't want to because I'm scared.We quarreled and I thought we had agreed to stop together, but he asked me earlier that I would deliver it here because he was already hot on the authorities. It was there that I realized he hadn’t even stopped.It was frustrating to know that, but my love for him still prevailed. Eventually I just tried to understand his reason.I hope this is the last time we do this, we talked before I left that it would never happen again and I would just do it to help her study. He needs to pay as much as tuition for the next sem. We were both in senior high school and just minors.I really didn't want to participate in this a
