They stared at each other while Charlotte and Jay watched them. "How do you expect me to prove it?" Kim asked her in a soft voice. "I will be in my room." Riele stood up and was about to leave but he caught her by her wrist."If you aren't a coward, tell me." Riele jerked her hand away from his. "I don't care if you know about love or not all I know is you are nothing but a..." before she could go further, he pulled her close and kissed her.Jay and Charlotte opened their eyes in shock. No one expected that. Kim pulled away and when he noticed her shocked reaction he said, "It's obvious you haven't had your first kiss yet. I won't be surprised if you haven't dated anyone either." "I hate you!" Riele yelled and ran to her room.Kim was satisfied with what he did, this would make her shut up for a while, he thought.Jay didn't know if to feel angry or jealous but he wasn't happy with what he saw."Make sure she comes to work when she is fully okay and make sure to take enough rest a
The following day, Riele got dressed for work. She left early to avoid Charlotte from stopping her. It was seven in the morning, the weather was chilly. She ran back inside to get her scarf, gloves, and coat then she headed for the road. She boarded a taxi that took her to her office. Arriving there, she met someone she never expected, Kim Utter. What the hell is he doing here? She asked herself. Just as she was about to walk to him, he entered the office, straight to the elevator. Riele had to wait till the elevator was ready for use. After some time, she got in and it took her to the third floor where her office is. Jay was the first to see her so he ran to approach her. "What are you doing here? Chae Woon said you should stay home. Why did you come to work?" "I am scared he is going to deduct my salary. I don't trust him a bit." Jay noticed she was restless like she was searching for something. "Are you looking for something?" He asked. "Did you happen to see which way Kim Utt
Jay took Riele out to a beautiful place. It was filled with flowers and there were a few couples there. "What's this place?" she asked him. "It's Called, 'A place of love." Jay watched her stare at the place with amazement. "It's where lovers come to spend some time or where someone comes to profess his love to the one he loves." Riele turned to look at him when he heard it. What does he mean by that? She thought. They weren't lovers. Does that mean... "Riele, I have been dying to let you know this." he paused, grabbed her hands, and placed a tiny kiss on them. "I love you, Riele. I don't know how long this feeling has been there but I can't seem to hold it in anymore. I can't seem to pretend that we are just friends when I feel something deep for you." Riele was about to speak but he continued. "I get jealous when I see someone else making you smile. I was angry when Kim kissed you and it was then I realized that... I love you." Riele was shocked. She wasn't expecting this wh
“Riele,” Kim called with a smile on his faceRiele was confused. First, he came to her house unannounced and now he is smiling at her. “Listen, I know you are wondering why I am here and I will explain all that if you just stop standing there and staring at me like that.” She couldn’t believe she had been standing there for a while. She mustered up the courage and sat down next to him. She wanted the night to be over so she could sleep through all the whole happenings today. She waited for him to say what he had to say so that he could get the hell out of her house. “How was your day with Jay?” Why is he asking me about Jay? She asked herself. “It was great,” she answered. “I had a good time with him.” “I see.” He rubbed his palms together and his eyes were fixed on something she couldn’t place her mind on. He slowly turned to her and asked, “Did you tell him yes?” What? Does that mean he knew about Jay’s plan? Is that why he is here? But why would he be
The following day, Riele went over to Charlotte's house. She was unable to get any sleep because she didn't trust Utter with her best friend. What if he decides to hurt the baby? She arrived at her place and pressed the doorbell several times but there was no sign of Charlotte. She was about to kick the door with her leg when the door opened only for Charlotte to see Riele in a karate style. She was shocked."What is going on?" She asked.Riele cleared her throat, ignored her question and went inside the house. "What took you so long to open the door?""I was just coming out of the bathroom and you didn't tell me that you were coming around." Charlotte was watching her friend search the whole apartment. "What are you looking for?""Where is he?""Oh! Kim?" She asked.Riele came to meet her and she could tell that something definitely happened last night. "Yes, Kim. The one you said came over last night drunk, the one...""Chill girlfriend, I know the Kim you are talking about.""Well
Jay and Madison were through with the shoot and Jay ran to meet Riele who was lost in thoughts as she walked aimlessly around the company. "Hey," he called.She turned to look at him and flash him a bittersweet smile. "Hi, how was the shoot?" She asked.Jay could tell that there was something different about the way she sounded. He knew something had happened in his absence."It was okay. I finished fast so I could catch up with you. What are you doing here though?""I was just getting some fresh air.""Is there something you aren't telling me?""Uh?"Jay held her hand and pulled her close. "Your face..." he stroke her face. "...your eyebrows..." he touched them as he straightened. "...and the sound of your voice tells me something is wrong.""It is nothing... I just...""Is it because of what happened last night? I apologized and I told you that I will wait for you.""No, Jay, it is not about you.""Then who?"Riele bit her lips as she looked at Jay. He was so worried about her. Why
Kim and Jay were seated in the office discussing about something important. "There is a new gig and I feel I had to let you in on it." "What is that?" He passed the documents over to Jay and explained the details to him. "We will be going to California for a fashion show and from what is written there, you can see that our presence is very important." Jay flipped the pages as he read the documents. "So you are saying that we are all going for this trip." Kim nodded. "You, me, Madison and Charlotte." Jay stopped reading when he noticed Kim stopped without calling Riele's name. "Aren't you forgetting someone?" "Who?" he pretended as if he didn't know what he did. "Where do you leave Riele in all this?" "It is not compulsory for her to be there." "What is going on, Kim?" "How do you mean?" "I thought you were trying to build a bond with her but with what I am seeing, I feel like you are trying to distant yourself away from her." "That's not true." "Really?" "Can we not talk
Riele decided to visit Charlotte after work and then go home later. She entered the apartment and saw her preparing dinner. "You love cooking," she dropped her bag and joined her in the kitchen. "It is not me but the baby. " "But the food will still pass through you. " "What are you driving at?" she cast her a quick look before going back to what she was cooking. "I am saying that you love food." Charlotte laughed. "How was work today?" "Well, the usual." "What did Jay and Kim say about your dress?" "Nothing." "What do you mean nothing? Were they busy?" "Kim is acting strange and I don't like it. " Charlotte noticed the sadness in her voice. She knew they had so much to discuss so she turned off the gas and gestured for her to sit down. "What happened?" "Remember yesterday I told you that he came around..." "Without any purpose, which of course I doubt." Rifle looked at her and she could tell she was making fun of the whole Kim coming without a purpose thing. "Ar
