"Are you hitting on me?" I almost slapped my mouth for saying those words but it's too late, he heard it.
He chuckled while scooping some ice cream. "I'm sorry if I make you feel like that, but I'm not. I like someone else," he replied directly, like he wasn't offended by what I accused him of. It was as if the cold wind was hugging me, my chest aching because of what he said. This is so awkward!
"Whoever they are, they will assume the same thing I thought when you told them what you just told me," I defended myself in extreme embarrassment. Why does he have to tell me those words? I almost think that he likes me. Grr.
"Really? But I'm just describing you," he said as he made eye contact with me, my lips parted. So, I'm the only one who thinks the meaning of what he said?
It has been eight months since Auden with his ex-girlfriend left and went to the United States. Each day has been tough for me. There were times that I would suddenly burst into tears. But I have to accept that we are just up there. It was a big slap in the face that he left me. Slap of reality that everything will only happen in my dream. Getting married and our union was a big mistake and wasted because of the person who was truly the content of her heart.I let out a deep sigh as I watched my fellow graduates take pictures with their friends and family. Today is the day I graduate from college. My eyes wander in every corner of the university. I observe the surroundings as I reminisce about the past. I found myself imagining Auden also wearing a black gown. He's smiling while going in my direction. To my suprise, Adeena came out of nowhere, running towards Auden and smiling like a happy an
So many questions are swirling around in my head. I'd like to know the answers to these questions. What is happening has made my mind befuddled and concerned.Even though I still haven't recovered from the shock of Dash's confession that I hadn't been paying attention for months, Kenny's reaction has added to my perplexity. She baffled me as our gazes connected and I felt the envy and grief in her eyes. But why is that?I'm curious what she was thinking when she saw me and Dash hugging each other. I'm sure it wasn't good because of her expression on her face, which was also evident that she was stunned.Dash shifted a little bit between our embraces, and I flinched. He is still reluctant to let me go. I felt terrible that I couldn't return his feelings for me. This is
From the middle, I pulled the curtain on either side, leaving it open. Next I opened my sliding window. Fresh, cold breeze blew and touched my face that I could not help but close my eyes just to feel.The sun from outside illuminated my entire room. I put my arms on the edge of the window. I looked down and then observed the quiet and beautiful atmosphere in the village. I'll see it in a moment. I don't know when I will be able to see this favorite place where I grew up again.Next I went to the front of the vanity table. I sat down and looked in the mirror. I started combing my long red hair. I stopped when I remembered what happened yesterday. Kenny must have been really hurt and I feel sorry for him. I'm guilty but I didn't want that.If I could just change how Dash feels, I’ll make sure he will like her. My life is still complicated like thread that tied in a knot. It's not that easy to fix so the knot has to be cut.Since yesterday we haven't
A week later, the day of my departure arrived. I am now dragging a suitcase while my assistant has my other belongings to take to our rest house in Batangas. It will be my temporary home in the next few days, months or maybe years.When we got to the gate, Dash and our driver grabbed the heavy baggages from me and our maid to help us get them inside the van. As I watched them put my belongings away I felt someone approach my side so I turned my attention to it.She sighed as it could be seen on her face that she was about to cry. "I will miss you..." Kenny said in a trembling voice, uncontrollable and hugged me tightly. "I will visit you, just tell me when you're bored there," she reminded as she parted from her hug."It won't take me many years there, if you talk like we'll never meet again," I said after striking her softly on the hands.As my daddy and I discussed, I will stay at one of our rest houses lo
My tears were starting to fall down my cheeks as I painfully stared at him. Seeing him brought me back to the day when he chose her more than me. Up to the day he left me in pain where crying was the only way to alleviate the pain. I was sobbing as my heart continued to pound hard.His presence was enough to hurt me and I could not stop my tears from falling. I’m sure I feel sorry in front of him now. I can no longer face him. I can’t hide anymore that fact that I’m still hurting and I’m still affected.I turned away without saying a word. Why? how?There are so many questions on my mind. How is he here in front of me when they are in the US? Why does he even need to go back? Of all places, why here?It was painful to see him. Why is it that every time I try to fix myself, he is here to ruin my plan and stop me? Is it fun to see me hurt and struggling to move on?
"You missed me?" I repeat what he said. I faced him while unable to believe what he said. "Are you playing with me?" annoyed I asked him. I didn’t have time to play with him. Because no matter what I do, I’m also the only one who loses the game he wants.If before he was laughing, now his face is serious. He's looking deep in my eyes. His stares touches my heart but my mind refuses it. I'm sure this is one of his games."I don't have time to play with you anymore, Auden. We're done, so, could you please stop giving me false hope? I'm so sick of this. You have given me too much pain. So that's right, please..." I couldn't stop the outburst of emotion and the flow of tears down my cheeks. His lips parted as he looked at me.I gave him one last look before turning my back at him. But before it happens, he suddenly grab my waist and pulled it to his body. I don't know why he keeps doing this. He's acting weird.
That's not true! I was still rolling around in my bed. I woke up earlier because I couldn't sleep thinking about what Aria said. It keeps messing with my mind.I lay down and pulled the blanket over my body up to my chest. I made myself comfortable with it. I let out a deep sigh as I faced the ceiling. The lamp to my right is the only source of light in my room.Aria's allegation is patently absurd. Closure? Auden wants closure? That is impossible. If he really wanted to, he would have done it a long time ago. Why did he need to stay a few more months? A few months passed before he took action.Maybe he was just being forced. If he wanted to, he would have taken me to our house then. What if I don't see him here? No closure to take place?What are these thoughts. I send too much of Aria's words. Allegations are untrited. I still don't know what caused Auden's return. There is uncertainty about whethe
"Now, tell me what's your relationship with that a*shole?" he asked emphatically after kissing me. His eyes seemed to be burning in anger. Did Dash made him jealous so he keeps acting like this? I still can't go back to my senses. I'm still shocked with what he just did. Is he the real Auden who is infront of me? I walked away a little and kept my eyes in gaze. I could still feet the sluggishness of his lip on mine. "Answer me or I'll kiss you again," he blackmailed me. I closed my eyes as he tossed my breath away. "He's my friend, Auden. Friend. Are you happy now?" I hissed. His expression changed rapidly. A corner of his lip glowed. "What was the kiss for? Are you really playing with me? I don't understand why you're messing with my mind, Auden. Can you stop? I'm tired and sick of being hurt—" "I like you, Cami. You are the reason why I came back. It's because of you," he said seriously as he smiled at me. My jaw
