I nodded, sincerely willing to grant him complete forgiveness.Things from the past wouldn't matter anymore because my love for him is just as powerful as it forgives no matter what mistake he’d made."I love you, Ryn. Back then and always will. I really do love you."I burst into tears, feeling loved and cherished and delighted."Do you love me, too?" He asked me full of hope."I love you so much, despite the fact that you've been a bad love to me in the past." In the midst of our sobbing, I made a light-hearted joke. "As much as time has passed, my feelings for you have not lessened in the least. This affection I have for you has not faded despite all the suffering we've been through together."We were in the middle of happiness when my phone suddenly rang in the pocket of my shorts. I picked it up and saw mom calling."It’s Mom," I said as I dearly glanced at Zack.He nodded, giving me a go signal to answer the call."Mom?""Irryn, where are you now? Zack is waiting for you! For th
Zack nodded gently and spoke, "It's okay. Answer it, Ryn." He reassured me it was okay. I answered the caller. "Dencel..." I said while glancing at Zack. He just stared and listened intently. "Hello, Ryn?" The caller spoke from the other line, too. I turned the loudspeaker on for Zack to hear whatever the conversation will be. "Why did you call?" I could feel my knees as weak as jelly as I was looking at my husband’s eyes. "Uhm, I just thought of your specialty coffee. Can you make one for me once I visit your cafe-resto maybe within this week?" he asked in his friendliest voice. Oh that! My promise to him. I suddenly frowned. "Uhm. Okay, Dens-" "Great!" He sighed with delight and in excitement. "So, when do you think is the best day to visit your cafe-resto? Tomorrow, maybe? Will you be there?" "I guess not, Dens. I will not be in Latte and Meal tomorrow." "Oh? Why? Where are you now?" I was about to answer when Zack suddenly held out his hand in front of me, an indicatio
Now, both Zack and I have realized that trust is one of the most important core parts of a harmonic relationship. At least as of this time, we knew where we were lacking, and we are starting to correct our flaws from the past... "I'm sorry too, Zack, if I lost the trust in you the moment you left and I was hurt." "I understand. Always have been, Ryn." He nodded. "At least you had a reason, and it was valid. But mine? My jealousy let me suppress my whole mind, which led me to hurt you, and I was truly regretful of what I did. Little by little, I'll work hard to gain your full trust in me as how you trusted me when we used to be happy together during our school days, Ryn. I'll gain it back. I will wait for the day that you will trust me completely once more. I am never going to be leaving you or hurt you again. I'll work hard to earn back your trust." I nodded. "I love you so much, I won't deny you that thing, Zack. Everybody deserves another chance, and you deserve it. We don't need
The beautiful Anya smiles and blushes. "Irryn, can you tell me where Zack is?"She's from the College of Nursing. One of the top students comes from the medicine department. She has short curly hair that reaches only up to her shoulder top, is very suitable, and looks so fashionable.She has a skinny body, just like mine, but the only thing that differentiates me from her is that I ain't as tall as she is, maybe because of our 3-year age gap. She is three years older than I am. Another thing, she isn't as pale as I am, doesn't make her any less beautiful. She's still as beautiful as ever, and I wouldn't wonder why my stepbrother Zack adores her from head to toe and the other guys on the campus.Anya has a light touch of makeup on her face, and it suits her so well. She looks even lovelier when her cheeks blush, and that puts an emphasis on her petty makeup. It's very unlikely to me because I don't do makeup since I am still a kid who is just starting to be a teenager. I'm just in Seni
"IRRYN, isn't this your last week of school and vacation nearly approaching?"I nodded at my mother's question as I entered our yard and met her on our small terrace."Yes, mom," I politely answered after sitting in the chair with my backpack removed.I just came home from school as classes had been done.What mom said was true. It is now Wednesday in the last week of March and we have two days left to go to school before summer vacation."My dear, we're going to General Santos City next week for a vacation.""Really, mom?" I exclaimed, full of enthusiasm and excitement, "Are we going to Gensan for a vacation?"Mom smiled. "Yes, dear but..."Her next words sounded hesitant. She appeared to have something to say or confess to me, but she was doubtful."But what, mom?""We will be staying there for good and not be returning in this house anymore."I was taken aback. "Huh? Why, mother?""I have something to tell you..."I was nervous... but I was ready to listen."I am listejning, mom."
"SIR Zack is kind, too. It's just that he has a rebellious side and always seems to be angry. He has a high temper but he has a good heart. Surely, you will have no trouble being with them."As we pulled up to the Lamont Resort's front entrance, I found myself speechless.The car stopped at the parking area and Pako led us the way."Come straight in and sir Alanson Lamont is waiting for you both."Mom nodded. "Thank you very much, Pako."Mom and I entered. I couldn't help but be impressed by the scenery we drove through. The resort is spacious and well-kept. There are two large vintage ancestral houses, one with cabins, and a large hotel.Finally, I could see the sea and hear its forceful waves, which appeared to entice my eagerness and longing to feel its salty water all over my body.We could already see a few people waiting for us at the cottage not far away. A man who appears to be the same age as my mom, a man in his mid-twenties, and a girl who appears to be a few years younger
"IRRYN, Rhian, come here now, and the meal is ready. We're going to eat.""Let's go, Irryn," Rhian said to me when uncle Alanson called us both.I nodded and smiled at the youngest. "Yeah. Let's go."We all sat down on the picnic carpet and started eating."Just eat as much as you want, Irryn. Enjoy the food, don't be shy." Ryle smiled as he served food on my plate."Thank you, but maybe I can't eat it all, Ryle!" I slightly laughed."She's right, son. Maybe Irryn will not be able to eat all the food you put on her plate!" uncle Alanson cooly followed."Daddy, I want to make sure that our Irryn will be well fed. Look at her—she's very slim."I know that fact. I'm really unintentionally thin, and by nature, I don't know why but no matter how much I eat, I don't really seem to gain weight."Anyways, Ryn, are you really like that, or you aren't just fond of eating at all?" Ryle asked me."I suppose this is how I am. My body will not gain fat no matter how much I eat.""When she was young
"SHHH." Mom instantly placed a calming hand on uncle Alanson's shoulder. "Just let him, Alanson."I turned around to observe Zack's back as he walked away from us. I could not dispute that even when he was on his back, he had a naturally vicious and disdainful appearance. He was just as tall as his brother. In comparison to Zack and Ryle, I would appear so little. His aura and stance were quite masculine and somber.I have never seen such a gorgeous man before..."That disrespectful bastard! He never really knew to respect his father even in front of guests!!" Uncle Alanson continued.Mom squeezed his hand lightly.His expression softened, and he looked at her.
