LOGIN“APOLLO’S POV” Everything that’s happening right now is still a puzzle to me. I don’t know who or what she really is. Those questions are still stuck in my head. I sighed because I suddenly keep asking things without thinking about what I’m saying. She might notice that I’m still suspicious about their identity—close call. I stood up, about to follow Astrid, when Shaun suddenly spoke. “You’re not serious, are you?” Shaun said. I looked at him, frowning at his question. Psh. This is exactly what I mean. “What are you talking about? Of course I’m serious,” I replied, about to leave when he spoke again. “Give her some space, don’t go there,” Shaun said. I wanted to punch Shaun, but I listened because he had a point. Astrid is still in a stressed state—I don’t want to add to it. “Apollo, it’s not all about you. It’s not all about your loved ones’ safety. What about them? I can read your actions—don’t put Astrid in danger. They won’t do anything to you,” Shaun told me.
I don’t know how to react to what’s happening right now because I didn’t expect this. I don’t even know any enemies of Grandma here—I am innocent. “Hey, let us go!” I shouted, because Jenifer and I were both tied to a very dirty chair. Couldn’t they at least clean it before making us sit there? “What do you even want from us, omg! We’re just freaking maids!! What could you possibly get from us, are you out of your mind!!” Jenifer said angrily, thrashing around. “Shut up already, you’re too noisy!” snapped the bald man’s companion who had grabbed us. “You don’t have the right to shut our mouths because you’re the ones who dragged us here. You don’t even know us, idiots,” I retorted. “Gag them, they’re too noisy. You can let them talk later when Ma’am arrives,” he ordered. I wondered who this “Ma’am” they were talking about could be. My mind refused to process everything that was happening—I couldn’t understand it. “Mhmmmm!!” Jenifer groaned while struggling. “Be quiet!”
We were at the shore, just staring blankly at the waves crashing against the sand. I wanted to swim, but my body didn’t seem to agree. “I–I’m so tired. I don’t feel like doing anything right now,” Jenifer said in a bored tone. I felt the same—so bored. Ever since our conversation, Jenifer and I kept thinking about our feelings. Every single day, these emotions kept bothering us. “Did you get any answers yet?” she asked me. I looked at her and shook my head. I hadn’t found any answers from all my staring and watching the waves. “Ah!! G! Have mercy on us!” Jenifer cried, almost in tears. I wanted to laugh at her antics—she was practically ready to bury her face in the sand. “Crazy. Maybe we should just let our feelings be. We can’t do anything about them anyway, they’re already here,” I sighed. “Ahh!! No way, this isn’t right! We need to clear our feelings, or else we might gamble on the wrong person and end up hurt,” she insisted. She had a point. We could get hurt if
I smiled when Astrid finally left. Right away, I grabbed my phone and called my private investigator. “Hello, Sir,” he greeted me. “Prepare some chocolates and a bouquet of flowers,” I said with a grin. “Copy, Sir,” he replied before ending the call. I quickly stood up and rushed to take a shower. I didn’t realize it would be this easy to make her dance to my tune. I just want to know the truth—I want to uncover her real identity. While showering, I couldn’t help but think about what happened between us last night. A smile crept onto my face. “Sh*t, Apollo, that’s not allowed,” I scolded myself. “You can’t fall in love with that girl. Everything is just an act!” I reminded myself to snap out of it. Afterward, I got dressed and sprayed on a heavy amount of perfume, wanting her to catch my scent even from afar. “Hey.” I turned to see who called me. “Where are you going?” Brix asked. “None of your business,” I replied with a smirk. “Wow, it is my business to m
I woke up because of the heavy weight pressing down on me. Unbelievable—because of how drunk I was, my dreams had gone wild. “Hays, really,” I muttered. When I looked to see who was on top of me, I suddenly felt nervous. “OMG!!” I whispered, frozen, afraid he might wake up. “A-Apollo,” I said, trying to wake him. “Hmm,” he murmured, eyes still closed. I wanted to punch him—damn, my nightmare was real? “A-Apollo,” I called again, shaking him. Slowly, he opened his eyes and gave me a wide smile. “Good morning, sweetie,” he said. Was this real? Was I not dreaming? I pinched my cheek. “It’s not a dream, it’s real. You didn’t tell me you’re wild in bed,” he teased. I blushed at his words, embarrassed beyond belief. I couldn’t remember anything from last night because of how drunk I was. “Are you okay? Do you feel pain down there?” he asked, moving off me. “Kind of,” I admitted, unable to look him in the eye. Aish!! Did I really go for round two? Seriously?!
After that failure, we never tried plan B again because Brix and Mico got smacked. “Ahh!! I hate them, such a waste. I could’ve experienced that again if not for Brix and Shaun’s stupidity,” Jenifer complained, still unable to move on even though two days had already passed. During those two days, Apollo kept taking me out. Sometimes he even accompanied me to visit Bon Bon, of course along with the “boys over flowers” who acted like girls were chasing after them. “What should I do? It’s like I became a red flag to Shaun because of those two,” Jenifer said, pouting. “You’ve been sulking about Shaun for two days now. Shaun this, Shaun that. But does Shaun even mention your name all the time?” I asked her. She looked at me with a scowl. “You’re such a terrible bonding partner. It’s because you’re always with Apollo, acting all sweet with him,” she said, as if it was my fault Apollo treated me that way—even though I didn’t really like it… well, maybe just a little. “It’s not
