'You're the only girl I'd ever want in my life.' he said there in the letter.I don't want to go home like this. I don't want to explain to anyone at home. I want to think all night about how it all happened, and how it all led to this."I want to stay with you, Ze. But I have something to do. I'll be right back. Promise." Keion said.He took me to his unit because I didn't want to go home. People there might just ask me why my eyes are swollen. I also didn’t tell them to where I was."Zella baby, we'll be right back, " Elton said who also came with us in Keion's unit."And who says you'll come here later? This isn’t your home, so you're not welcome here." Keion smirked and Elton's evil look shot at him.Keion took me to one of the guest rooms of his condo. His unit is nice but I don’t have time to appreciate that anymore. My brain is too buoyant to pay attention to things."If you need anything, call me. Anything. I'll be home right away." said Keion and I nodded.I always knew he’s
When is it necessary to step away for oneself and when is it necessary to face an issue in a relationship? I do not know. I also bid my goodbye to Madam when Sofiya left to go upstairs. I didn't say anything to Keion and neither of them nor Taiden. I avoided his gazes. I was afraid they would see in my eyes how much I was affected by what I saw. I held back the tears until I turned my back on them.One by one the tears fled from my eyes but I did not wipe them away. I was afraid they might be looking at me as I went up the stairs and see me rubbing my cheek.I was breathing up and down because my chest was so tight. Why did he suddenly change? Why does he look angry? I should be mad at him for what I saw him and Sofiya did! But why do I feel like it’s me who did something wrong?I slumped on the cold bed when I entered the room. I felt the pain in my chest that I have only now felt in my whole life.I said, I’m not going to give in Sofiya’s tricks. But it's really different if you'v
It's midnight and I'm ready. After I had prepared everything, I went to Madam’s office. I knew she was no longer there so I walked straight ahead carrying my belongings.I laid on Madam's study table the letter containing my farewell and gratitude for the good shown by this family.I knew it was only half a year and I am going to graduate but then, I would think about it. I have been able to save money over the years of my service. I will still finish school. But far from Taiden.The whole house is quiet. It is late at night, but here I am, leaving.I also went to the kitchen to put on the table my letter for Mother Helen. I knew they wouldn't agree to what I’m going to do because they do not understand what I was having. And I don’t want to see Madam get angry because I love her son.Before, even before I entered this house. If I ever leave, I'm sure the reason is because of my employer's bad behavior or maybe they are not satisfied with my service. I was wrong, I was so hurt and ins
Anjo came with me to buy a cellphone, even if it's not expensive, it's okay. We also didn't stay long at the mall and went home immediately because I still had a lot to do."Zella ?! Where are you ?! Do you know what's going on here ?!" Suzie opened up to me when I called her.I was held on the forehead because of the problem I left behind and the person I aggravated when I left."I'm sorry Suzie. I'll explain to you, promise. I need your help." I said and I heard her breathing deeply on the other line."You know I won't reject you, right? Just text me where you are. Even if you're in Tawi-Tawi. I'll go to you." she said and I smiled there."Yes, but don't tell anyone where I am, okay? Anyone ..." I said, even though it was impossible for Taiden to ask for me."Did you know Taiden almost squeezed me? To tell him where you are? He scared 'me Zella! Gosh. He looked scary when he came here a while ago." I sighed at what she said."D-Did he go there?" I asked tremblingly because my hear
I was in the middle of filing my vacation leave when my cellphone rang. I smiled when I saw who it was."Suzie!" I greeted her happily."What's up? When are you coming home? Don't tell me you're in virtual attendance again for Sienna's birthday?" she sounds annoyed.I laughed and shook my head."No. We're going home this week. I'm preparing my vacation leave as we speak."Suzie didn't speak and I heard the other line was loud. Like the voices of men."Zella, turn on your cam. The monkeys want to see you." she said laughing and someone shouted on the other line."Hey! You're so mean in us Suzie!" said the man on the other side of my line whoever it was.I turned my cam on and immediately saw Suzie while a wide smile is plastered in her face."Hi! You're so beautiful! What kind of air does San Francisco have? Take me with you." she laughed at the same time and shook her head when she saw me."Where's Sienna? Show me." I said because I only see her daughtet occasionally.“With his Daddy.
Sienna's birthday will be held later tonight, so I went with my older brother to buy a gift. My older brother Keion and I went to the nearest mall.I heard Kuya swear softly when we entered the Toy Store so I turned to him."Why?" I asked him in a confused question because he also looks like bothered. He ignored me and I followed where he looked.He glanced at the female sales lady of the toy store and entered a room. Who is that?"Kuya, who is that?" I asked."Nothing." he said and I just shrugged.I chose the human sized play house and have it delivered to Suzie's address tomorrow. After shopping, we decided to have lunch first.Kuya is still quiet and I'm sure it had something to do with the girl earlier in the Toy Store."That's your girlfriend." that's not a question. He looked at me and nodded slightly. I was amazed because I didn’t think he would admit it! I just guessed that."You fought?" Kuya looks bothered.He nodded. "She thought I was hooking up and you’re my girlfriend
If only the stares could melt, I would have melted earlier. As soon as I look at him, I find him staring at me. He was next to Elton who was in front of me while Kuya was next to me."Baby, we heard about your Dad. It's a good thing our friend is really good." at the same time Elton patted Taiden on the shoulder.I looked at him again and he looked at me the same way. I immediately averted my gaze because I could not hold his gaze."Thanks about that," said Kuya. Taiden frowned."It should be her, thanking me ..." our eyes met again. "Not you...” he said and his eyes pierced through my Kuya."Why not? She's my girlfriend." Kuya said politely and I saw the tension in Taiden's jaw. He looks irritated.Those with us at the table seemed to feel the tension so they changed the subject."By the way, are we clubbing tomorrow? We'll finish early today, it's too late. We still gonna welcome you, tho.” Macsen trying to change the topic."Great! We haven't completed in a long time." Mozes suppo
Arabella ran back outside, and Taiden and I immediately followed her. But we arrived too late."She’s not fooling me." Kuya said politely. I felt like Kuya was going to say everything, and I wasn’t going to stop him.Arabella's disbelieving face was obvious from what my brother said."Wtf, Taiden? What did you do?" that was Elton. Taiden and I looked at each other and I didn’t know how to say it all, that we were just pretending."You don't believe me ?! I saw them! She's cheatin-.""She's not my girlfriend." Kuya said calmly which further dropped everyone's jaw.I saw Taiden's eyes narrow at me and at Kuya."Uh ... Can we please calm down? And let's let whoever should speak first." Suzie said as she cast a sharp stare at Elton.Even before Kuya could speak, I preceded him. I am the cause of all these. So I just have to fix it."We're siblings. He's not my boyfriend. It was all fake. I'm sorry." I said sadly and everyone looked back and forth at me and to my brother."Y-You what ?!"
