Gabby’s POV

“Okay! Camille, put your hands on Jake’s chest—yes, that’s it!” I instructed the model and pressed the shutter of my Nikon DSLR camera.

Click.

Click.

Click.

“Stay closer—yes, pull his tie a bit—okay. Nice!”

Click.

Click.

Click.

“Okay! Break!” I shouted. Everyone started taking their break while the makeup artists retouched the models. I sat in front of the computer and inserted the DSLR’s memory card into the hard drive. Perfect! My shots turned out amazing!

“Gab!” I turned and saw Kesha walking toward me. “Ayy, finally! You’re on break, too. You’ve been all over the place,” she said, plopping down on the chair beside me to peek at the computer screen. “Nice shots, huh.”

“Thanks. I’m exhausted already. And I haven’t even put on my jacket. Brrr… It’s freezing here.”

We were now in Tagaytay with some of the staff and models. The view from the resort we booked was breathtaking—but the cold was absolutely deadly. Seriously deadly! I didn’t even have time to wear my jacket beca

    Gabby’s POV“Good morning, Gab! Glad to see you finally showed up,” Kerl greeted the moment I stepped out of the elevator. He was one of my officemates.The second I walked into the office, a wave of hellos came my way. Well, look at that—celebrity treatment. Guess being professional really makes you famous. Ha!“Morning,” I greeted back with a grin.I strolled toward my desk… only to stop dead in my tracks.What in the world—did my desk turn into a flower shop? There were roses. Everywhere. All kinds. Different colors, too.And there’s only one man who’d do something this over the top. Rei.Of course. When you’re rich, you don’t just buy a bouquet—you buy the whole damn garden. Show-off.I spotted an envelope sitting on top of one of the bundles. Curious, I picked it up and read the note inside.For my future girlfriend,These are for you—to brighten your long, heavy day. You’ll be drowning in work, Baby. :D Don’t push yourself too hard.Let’s go on a date later?The man who got you

    Gabby’s POV“Can I… uh… come in?”Should I let him in? What the hell is he even doing here? Damn it, he’s still so handsome even after a week of not seeing him!Why am I even talking like this? Ugh, damn it! Rei looks so good right now, it’s ridiculous. He’s drenched in sweat—okay, maybe more like glistening, like one of those guys from the Cosmo Bachelor Bash 2011. All he’s missing is being naked!What the hell am I thinking? Damn it! This is exactly why I didn’t want to see him! Remember, Gabbriel—he broke your heart. He’s so hot. Ugh, help!“Gab…”I shut my eyes. That voice again! It drives me insane. Why does he always have to say my name like that? It’s—ugh—it gives me chills! See what this man does to me? The moment I see him, it’s like all my anger just melts away. Psssh.“We need to talk. Can I come in?”His voice is low, serious. I stare at him, searching his face. Those eyes—pleading again. Goddammit. Who on earth could ever say no to Reigan Salvador?No. No, no, no. I can’t

    Rei’s POVIt’s been a week now. She hasn’t been coming to work. Even her best friend, Kesha, had no idea where she was. I know she’s a grown woman, but I can’t stop worrying. What if something bad happened to her? Or maybe she’s sick? Or… something worse?And until now, I still feel strange about what happened back in Tagaytay. I keep blaming myself. What the hell is wrong with me? Why can’t I understand what my feelings for her really are? Why… why don’t I know?When I feel at ease just being near her.When my mood shifts because of her, it is a good kind of shift.When I worry too much about her.When I want to see her face.When I want to kiss her so badly.When I hate seeing her with another man.When… my heart beats so damn fast because of her.These feelings are new to me. I’ve never felt anything like this before. I’ve never experienced something like this, and it’s confusing the hell out of me.If only I could name these feelings, then maybe Gabby wouldn’t be MIA right now. I’

    Gabby’s POV“Gabbriel! What’s happening to you? Gino said you haven’t been home for a week! And why haven’t you been going to work? Do you want to get fired?!”I winced and pulled the phone away from my ear. The moment I answered, Kesha’s voice practically pierced through the speaker.Ugh. Seriously? So early in the morning, and this is what I wake up to? I’d barely opened my eyes and already I was being scolded like a teenager. Perfect.Well… to be fair, she wasn’t wrong.I, Gabbriel Lane Tolentino, hadn’t been home in an entire week. My poor brother, Gino, was probably living off instant noodles by now. I hadn’t gone to work once either—and honestly, the thought of facing my boss right now made me want to crawl back under the covers.So where am I?In my condo. The one my father gave me that I haven’t touched and lived in. This is the only place no one knew where to find me.“Hello? Are you still there?!” Kesha’s voice snapped through the line again, sharp and impatient.“Well...” I

    Gabby’s POV“I’m sorry…”When he said those words, the pain only cut deeper.Sorry for what, exactly?Because he can’t like me back?Am I really that hard to like?What did you expect, Gabbriel Lane?You’re the only one who feels this way. Just tattoo that in your mind—you’re the only one who cares like this.One-sided feelings. Remember?I know that. I haven’t forgotten that I’m the only one holding on to this.And I’m not numb. I can feel every bit of the painEverything happened too fast, and now it’s all a mess.It’s only now that I’ve truly confirmed it—only now that I’ve realized what I really feel.And only now that I’ve learned… he doesn’t feel the same.If he ever does, it’s probably as fleeting as a wild weed—something that grows without care, and dies just as easily. Damn it.I didn’t respond to what he said and just walked straight to his car.I saw him follow, looking defeated.Why does he look defeated?I’m the one who’s losing my mind here! Does he even have the right t

    Rei’s POVEarlier that day…Damn it! It’s almost five! What the hell am I supposed to do again? Where did I put that list my brother Gin dictated to me? Shit! I’m freaking out! Damn it, Rei, calm down! What’s wrong with you? You’re a grown man—why are you nervous?!Anyway, to answer her question—it’s a no. I’m just trying to stop myself from panicking because this is literally the first time in my entire life that I’ve been this nervous. Well, except for that time in the sauna room when my “baby” woke up. I admit, I panicked a bit there. That was the first time I ever got nervous… and now this is the second.I just can’t stop thinking.Will this date turn out okay?Will she like it?Will she… Damn it! You’re wasting time, Rei! Just focus and do your job right!But where the hell is that list? Damn it... Oh right, it’s in my pocket. For fuck’s sake! I even forgot that? Seriously, Rei? What the hell is wrong with you?!I pulled out the paper and read it again. I already forgot what was
