Flowers "What the hell is your problem?!” I struggled violently to get away from him. He held my arm tighter as he continued to pull me out. He managed to take me to the parking lot. I can feel my arms hurting. I swear it will leave a mark the next day. But that's the least of my concerns now. I have to get out of his hold. "Santi, what are you doing?! Let me go!” He stopped walking but still didn't let me go. He turned to me, eyes bloodshot and angry. He clenched his jaw, holding back his anger. "What the hell is your problem?!" I shouted again. Who does he think he is to just pop out of nowhere and pull me whenever he wants? He is really so frustrating! He pursed his lips and looked away. He seems to be holding back himself. I glared at him. Now he has nothing to say? He just ruined my night totally and then he won't even talk about why he did this? Damn, bastard. I was about to turn around when he stopped me again. Now the pain in my arm is evident. "You're going back ther
Kiss "There is something you need to know about Xander," his voice dark. I was about to go past him when I got stunned by what he said. I looked at him, tired. Is this one of his tricks? Using Xander to get to me? I had enough roller coaster of emotions tonight. And his being here doesn't help at all. "What is it?" "I shouldn't be the one saying this but I just think you need to know," he sighed. "Stop beating around the bush and just say it," I crossed my arms and glared at him even more. "Xander is seeing someone." Surprised is not even enough to describe how I felt when I heard that. He's joking, right? Cause that doesn't sound like a funny joke! "Liar," I gritted my teeth. "I wish I am just lying," he said seriously, his eyes dark. "You can go home and see for yourself. I'm telling you this so you can stop wanting him to love you back. Cause that won't happen. Especially now that he's with someone already." "You!" I screamed in annoyance. I was about to rush at him when
Miserable I have everything planned out already. If I had to follow Xander every step of the way, I would. I just want to know who the girl he likes is if there is one. It was a good thing I heard from Tita Alondra he's working on a project in Baler. And I have a strong feeling that the woman Santi is referring to is there. But if she's not there, I will try to find other ways to know where she is. Xander didn't even need to know what I was going to do. And he doesn't seem to have any intention of letting me know. All I want now is to talk to whoever that girl is. I had to put on the best disguise I could get just so that what I was doing would not be recognized and would not be noticed. It was all normal until half of the day. He went on-site inspection and he also went to several meetings. Afternoon came and I just kept following him. My eyes widened when I saw where he went at nearly five in the afternoon. He went into one of the biggest universities here in Baler. I know this
Mistake I was out of focus even though I was busy with the shoots for that day. All I could ever think of is that cryptic message from Xander. I can't help but be nervous. Does he know that I talked to Aurora? Is that why he's asking to meet me? Still, I shrugged the thought. Although it's very unusual of him to text me like that and ask to meet me, I just thought he just wanted to talk. I saw him waiting for me inside the coffee shop just a short distance away. I smiled at him when our eyes met. "Hi!" I greeted him warmly. I was about to hug and kiss him when he took a step back. I stared at him for a long time and cleared my throat. I just ignored it and smiled again. He remained serious, his expression unreadable. I ignored what he did and just called the waiter for my order. I smiled at him when the waiter went to prepare my order. "What are we going to talk about?" "What did you tell her?" He asked immediately that I was not prepared. So he knew what I did. That fast? Doe
Special We boarded the plane that morning. I received a few more sermons from Bailey when I got back to the hotel that morning. He kept on asking me where I'd been the whole night. I can't tell him that I got drunk again and he will only scold me more. "I almost search the entire Metro Manila just to find you! I was worried sick!” I stared at him tiredly. I have no energy to quarrel with him. He was slightly stunned. "Can I rest for now, please? I'm tired from the flight. After all, the go-see you're talking about is still this afternoon." He chose to check in at a hotel in Tagaytay where the go-see will be held. I would have been more satisfied because the organizer chose a good resort if only what happened last night would stop bothering me. First with Xander, and then with Santi. But I shouldn't think much of the latter right? Because for me it was just nothing. “I-I'm sorry. I was just really worried because you didn't come home last night. Okay fine, take a break first. I'll
Smitten Ever since I heard their story from Grandma Gracia, although I did not experience the same intensity of pain, I empathized with him. Ever since I heard that, unconsciously I tried to understand him. As Grandma Gracia begged me. Even though there are many times when I don't really understand his behavior, I just think that's how he really is. That's how he deals with his issues. And that no matter how many times I try, I will never fully understand. Their family seems to have a lot of secrets and mysteries. I have an idea but my understanding of his family is not that deep. He was raised alone by a grandparent. It can still be considered family, but I know that somehow he still misses his parents' care. The things Elize and I talked about have not been removed from my mind. That's why I feel like I'm floating when I get home to the condo. Bailey wasn't there when I came in. He usually would lurk around my unit when we were not that busy. Either to annoy me or just entertain h
In Love I almost ran out of breath when I opened the door for Bailey. I kept looking at the terrace to check if I could see Santi from there. I was relieved that it wasn't. I forced a smile when Bailey and I locked eyes. His frowning face greeted me. "What were you doing that it took you so long to open the door?" He went in and checked my luggage. Right, I haven't packed my things yet. He looked at me with raised eyebrows and gestured to my suitcase. I smiled shyly at him. "What did you do here and you still haven't fixed your stuff? The briefing will begin anytime soon," he said and looked back at the luggage. "J-Just resting. I forgot, I'm sorry.” I kept looking at the terrace when Bailey wasn't looking. My chest is throbbing so fast that I feel like he could hear it. “I'll just freshen up a bit. I will come down afterward," I assured him, afraid he could think of something else to ask. "Okay, fine. You go freshen up while I organize your things," he said as he started openi
Punch I woke up feeling warm that morning. I haven't fully opened my eyes yet when I tried to feel the surroundings. I started moving my hand to where I remembered he was last night. I slightly traced his hairy chest with my fingers. I heard him groan painfully above my head. Then I felt his warm hands envelop me for a tight hug. "Hmm," his morning voice and warm breath touched my cheek slightly. "Wake up now, baby. You have a shoot at nine, remember?” I slowly opened my eyes and our gazes met. "You're still here," I said as if dreaming. He stared at me darkly and smiled slightly. "Of course. Where else should I be?” His morning voice sounds sexy. He pulled me closer to him and kissed my lips. I slowly closed my eyes. His feathery kisses are heartwarming and painfully slow. He was the one who let go and kissed me on the forehead. The way we’re treating each other felt new and raw to me. Nothing is clear between us two and we haven't talked about it yet. All I know is that I am
