One Night Mistake (English)

There are people that you have to let go of even if you want to keep them. There are people who, even if they make you happy, you need to avoid. There are decisions that you have to make even if you're forced to. There are times when if you do the right thing, you will be the one who will suffer. And there are things that if you insist on in the end, you will still be the one who will be hurt. *********** “Mom, where is Uncle Vince? We've been waiting here for an hour, I'm tired.” I smiled while watching my child, who had a cute scowl on his handsome face. I removed my face mask since no one would probably notice me here, and everyone is busy, plus I am wearing a eyeglasses. It's a good thing I didn't say that we're going back to the Philippines, no media, my child and I are safe. We're here at NAIA waiting for my brother Vince. He volunteered to pick us up because he wants to see his nephew right away. Unfortunately, he texted that he's stuck in traffic a

R18– Damn, I'm so drunk! I can feel the alcohol coursing through my body. I don't care about anything around me anymore; I'm just going with the flow. Then I felt someone dancing behind me. Because they were so close, I turned to face them and without warning, I put my hands around their neck. Shit, why did I suddenly feel this heat? I wanted to do something, but I couldn't understand it. Damn this alcohol! The man in front of me encircled his hands around my waist. He pulled me even closer to him, making sure I couldn't escape. Because of what he did, I could smell his scent – addictive, like I wanted to bite him. We danced as if there was no tomorrow. I also did a sexy dance in front of this stranger. I had no idea where my best friend was – maybe she was dancing with someone else or looking for a handsome guy. I knew she could handle herself and was used to this kind of situation. I was getting carried away with what was happening. I was enjoying it immensely and wa

Vivien “Sweety, wake up. We're here.” I groggily straightened up and looked at Mommy. “You seem really tired, dear. I've been trying to wake you up. Come on, get ready and follow me. Your grandparents are waiting inside,” Mommy said. I nodded to Mommy before she went down first. I peeked out the window. Wow! I've missed it here in Bulacan! Yesterday, Alexander dropped me off, but just outside the subdivision. I didn't want him to drop me right in front of our house, fearing Mommy might be surprised. She might think I went to a bar with Penelope and suddenly got a boyfriend. Upon arriving at the house, Mommy warmly welcomed me. She mentioned that we were going to Bulacan because Grandpa was sick, probably from climbing the mountain too much. They insisted that we stay here for a week. It wasn't a problem for me since it's a break for me. I also texted Penelope to follow here. Only Mommy, Kuya Vince, and I came to Bulacan. Daddy stayed in Manila for some paperwork, As I st

“Omg! really?! Your so-called boyfie seems fascinated by your beauty, girl! That's why he followed you even here in Bulacan. Take note, he knows your number and knows that you came here. You know, girl, this is your love life, push it!” I rolled my eyes at my exaggerated best friend's comments. Earlier, after lunch with Xander, he dropped me off in front of our house. I didn't bother inviting him inside; I wasn't ready to introduce him to my family yet! Just as I arrived home, Penelope showed up. And here I am, telling her what happened. “I asked him how he knew everything, and he just said, 'I have my ways.' But I feel like he's a good guy. Look, one night stand should have been each to his own, but look, he didn't leave me in the VIP room at the bar, he even prepared breakfast for me and brought me home. Then he mentioned some responsibility towards me, even though he has no obligation to me. And earlier, I saw how he values their workers, so I told myself I should giv

NEXT DAY… I woke up early with excitement, I sent a text to Mom and Dad, updated them so they wouldn't worry. Also messaged Xander as promised, though no replies yet – maybe they're busy or still asleep. I put my phone down to pick out for today's outfit, I chose a blue bikini and denim shorts. Headed to the bathroom for a quick wash, toothbrushing, and a change of clothes. No need for a full shower since Penelope and I will get wet later. Speaking of Penelope, where is she? She said she'd be right back after going out for a bit. We decided on an island-hopping adventure today and picked a package tour last night. includes snorkeling, Kawa bath, paddleboarding, and a Disco boat. Tomorrow, we'll tackle package two with Jet Ski, Flyboard, banana boat, flying fish, and kayaking. Penelope has a visitor coming, so she wants to save some activities for tomorrow. I asked her who it was, but she responded with a sly grin. Well, it's fine, Xander will join us too, just wondering w
