I stayed for another hour, I still waited for him. Hoping he will come but Calvin didn’t come. Tears started to fall again.
“Here!” Suddenly a handkerchief appeared on my face.
It was Tobi, one of my classmates.
“Wipe your tears away.” He said while sounding annoyed. “You look like a fucking idiot.” He added.
Tobi is the guy, who’s hot, cool, famous, and cold as fuck.
“How long have you been?” I asked.
He rolled his eyes and said, “Yeah. I have been here from the very beginning.” He turned around and started to walk away.
“Tobi, wait.” He turned around to face me.
“What?” He asked.
“Can you give me a lift?”
I didn’t want to ride a taxi or jeep because I’ll look like a fucking idiot. It’s very obvious that I just came from crying.
He looked pissed but he still gave me a ride.
“Thank you,” I said to him when I got out of his car.
He just nodded and drifted away.
I entered my apartment feeling empty. It’s my fucking birthday yet no one is with me to celebrate, how fucking exciting this is.
Maybe this is my life, I’ll be forever sad and alone.
------
From Calvin: Sorry I didn’t make it last night something important came in, had to attend to it.
From Calvin: Love, come on! I’m sorry.
I deleted all of his messages, as much as possible I don’t want to talk to him. The only request I made was to be with him on my birthday, yet he didn’t come. I had hope for nothing.
Why is he always like that? Why was he willing to make a promise he couldn’t actually keep? Why does he always hurt me?
Maybe Rachel was right. I’ve been very stupid on loving the same person who keeps on hurting me.
I took a deep breath and started getting ready for school. After all, what benefit would I get if I keep on remembering that jerk?
“Andrea!.” I turned to the person who called my name.
It was Rachel.
“Why?”
“Are you okay? Why do you seem to be not in your right mind?”
I shook my head.
“It’s Calvin, right? Let me guess, he didn’t come to you yesterday.”
“I don’t wanna talk about it,” I said.
“This is why I keep on telling you. Break up with that guy. There’s a lot of guys out there, yet you keep on seeing Calvin. He’s not even proud of you.”
Tears started to pour out again.
“Oh look at you. You’re crying again,’
I couldn’t handle it anymore. I stood up and quickly ran.
“Where are you going?” Rachel yelled.
I didn’t stop running, I never looked back. I had enough.
Maybe the pain will go away if I end it right now.
The last thing I heard was people yelling at me.
----
“She will be fine. Don’t leave her alone for the meantime.” It was a voice.
I opened my eyes only to see Tobi and the Doctor talking.
The Doctor glanced at me.
“You’re awake. Good thing, I’ll leave the two of you,”
“What am I doing here?”
Tobi looked at me pissed.
“You pass out in the middle of the road. In front of my car,” He said.
“Oh.”
“Oh?! Is that all you can say?”
“What do you want me to say?” I asked.
He looked at me irritated and from his looks, he wanted to yell at me but he didn’t.
He took a deep breath and said,
“Any family or guardian I can call or inform them about your condition?”
I quickly shook my head.
“No. Even if you call my parents, voice mail will be the answering voice you’ll hear. They are both busy running their business abroad.” I said.
“I’ll just call Rachel.”
I looked at him confused.
“You know Rachel?” I asked and Tobi nodded.
He pulled out his phone from his pants and started dialing up.
I quickly motion him not to call her.
He ended the call.
“So what’s your plan? The doctor said you can’t be alone in the meantime.”
“I’m fine. I just need rest, if Rachel’s here I’ll just get more. She will keep on bugging me.” I said.
“Fine, whatever.” He then opened the door and left.
Every house the nurse keeps on coming back asking if I were okay.
“Can I ask, if I could possibly get the hospital bill?”
She smiled at me.
“No need Miss. It’s already been taken care of.”
“Huh?”
“Your boyfriend a while ago took care of it.”
I just nodded. Turns out I own Tobi a lot.
I got out of the hospital that very night. Thank god, I was discharged. I didn’t want to spend the night at the hospital.
Hospitals are giving me nightmares.
I was about to open my door when someone showed up out of nowhere.
“Love,” He said.
I took a deep breath. I needed to control myself.
The doctor advised me not to stress myself out.
“What?”
“Let’s talk.”
“No. Leave me alone,” I said.
“Love, please.” He uttered.
I wanted to yell at him. Slap him. I wanted him to feel the pain I was feeling.
I started dodging his hold on me, but he won’t budge at all. Instead, he pulled me into a hug.
“Tonight, in my place. We will celebrate your birthday, I just really couldn’t attend to you yesterday because something urgent came up. I’m sorry.”
Tears started to pour out.
“Then you shouldn’t have given me a promise because I fucking waited for hours, Calvin. I was there standing waiting for you to come.”
We hugged for a few seconds. I don’t want to forgive him so quickly but this freaking heart of mine is so fast in forgiving him.
I hated myself for that. When it comes to him, I’m so soft.
“What time are we going to your condo?” He smiled at me.
“Right now, so that we can stop in a nearby grocery to buy food.” He said
I smiled.
I was an idiot when it comes to love.
When Calvin and I arrived at his Condo, he started cooking and I was just watching him cook.
I continued to watch him but stopped when my phone vibrated.
It was from an unknown number.
Where are you?
I decided to ignore it. Maybe it was the wrong number but again it vibrated.
Where are you? I'm in the hospital right now, the nurse here says you got discharged. This is Tobi.
I quickly picked up my phone and was about to construct a reply to him but Calvin got my attention.
"Who's that?"
I couldn't tell Calvin that a classmate of mine helped me. He will be furious and add the fact that it's a guy.
"It's just a wrong number. I’m just reading the text" I said as I kept the phone in my pocket
For the next few days, I didn’t bother going out of the house. I was scared of going outside, and the fact that I might bump into Calvin out of nowhere.“Will you be going out today?” He asked.I immediately shook my head in response. “No, I’ll just stay at home.” I replied before laying back again in bed.These days I’ve been experiencing way more painful backaches because of the pregnancy hormones.“Do you plan on just staying at home for the rest of your pregnancy?” Tobi asked as he wore his office coat.I nodded willingly.Tobi then pulled me out of the bed, I ended up on his chest. Then there it was again, the beating feeling of my heart.“Get dressed.” He said. “I’ll bring you with me to the office today.” Tobi said before pushing me inside the walk-in closet.Even though I didn’t want to come with him, I had no choice but to obey him. He won’t stop bugging me until I say ‘yes’ to his plans.When we reached the building, some of the employees were standing outside the building p
Who would have thought that Tobi would bring a smile onto my face. I would smile a little every time he would ask the salesperson about this certain furniture for the nursery room.“Do you have this in a neutral color?” He asked.“Yes.” the salesperson replied.Tobi smiled then moved his gaze at me. “What do you think? Do you think we should get this now?” He asked.I nodded at him and he smiled at me.“We’ll get this one.” Tobi then continued on browsing that nursery section.We were both quietly roaming around the shopping mall when someone hastily approached us. I looked at Tobi confused,“How have you been, Tobi?” He asked.I pressed both of my lips together then I felt Tobi tighten his hold onto my waist, he then smiled at the guy who is right in front of us.“I’m fine bro.” He replied. “What are you doing here?” Tobi asked.“I’m checking out the stores, it’s been a while since the last time I became hands on with the company.” He explained before turning his gaze at me. “This mi
My forehead creased upon seeing two queen beds in the master’s bedroom. When Tobi entered the master’s bedroom.I moved my gaze towards him.“What exactly is the meaning of this?” I asked, confused.He looked at me confused.“What do you mean?” Tobi asked.I pressed both of my lips together. “I mean, why are we having two beds in the master's bedroom? Are we supposed to have separate beds?”Tobi’s forehead creased even more but he eventually nodded then explained. “We both know that we didn’t want to get married to each other and I totally understand that, that’s why I purposely told the interior designer to put two beds in the master’s bedroom.”“Why?” I asked.He looked shocked after hearing what I just said.“What do you mean, why? He asked back as he put books on the shelves.I sat on one of the beds and stared at him.“How can we make this marriage work, if you're purposely having your distance from me?” I asked while moving my gaze away from him.We were both quiet for the next
When I got near Tobi, he’s forehead creased upon looking at me. He pressed both of his lips together then pulled me into his embrace.He then whispered onto my ears.“What the hell are you wearing right now?” Tobi asked.I just shrugged at him.“I don’t know, this was on the hanger for the reception outfit.” I simply replied. He closed both of his eyes for a brief moment before whispering again onto my ears.“It’s very low, I could see the guys peeking right at your boobs. Who the fuck designed this gown?” He asked as if he was losing his patience.I moved my gaze towards the crowd and saw Tobi’s friends staring at the both of us.“Your mother, she was the one who designed and chose this gown.” I replied as both of our parents walked their way towards us.I plastered a big smile.Tobi then uttered a few words about the long gown I was wearing to his mother. Specifically the fact that he didn’t like the design of it.“Mother, why on earth would you design this kind of dress? Have you f
Today is the day, the big day came and everyone was so excited. I was fidgeting since I couldn’t handle the pressure I’m having right now.“Can you please calm the fuck down? Tobi won’t be the one running away from you, we’re both more worried about you, we think you’ll be the one running away.” Rachel uttered.I glared at her.“I don’t have any plans on running away. I’m scared that something might happen unexpectedly.” I replied.She chuckled then fixed the end of the wedding gown, laying it down flat on the floor. The wedding gown is so long that I had to literally wear it inside the church.I couldn’t ride the car while I was wearing the wedding gown, I won’t be able to fit inside the wedding car.“Just take a deep breath, you don’t have to think about anything else. Alright?” Maria said.I both nodded at them as I calmed myself down.Minutes la
Tobi continued to be busy with the things he’s doing for the company but would make sure that he would have time for me and the baby.“Will you just be staying at home today?” He asked.I nodded.“Yeah, but if something comes on. I’ll inform you.” I replied back to him. Tobi nodded before kissing me in the forehead and taking his leave.He’s been doing that since we started to be more open with each other and I find it cute sometimes for no reason at all.Our wedding is also getting near four days from now.My mouth agape seeing how Maria and Rachel showed up once again in the doorsteps, carrying all these kinds of fruit baskets.“Don’t you both have jobs or work to attend to? Why are you always here?” I asked them to take a seat in the lounging area near the backyard.Rachel smiled at me.“We are just enjoying your company while you’re still single. Have you forgotte
