KATE ROSE
"Do you know Lisa Roxas?" I asked my fake boyfriend while he's driving me home one afternoon. He glanced with a frown at me. He was surprised when he heard the name I mentioned."W-what? Lisa Roxas?" He answered, bitterly. I gave him a quick nod and opened my mouth to speak. His eyes widened."Yes, Lisa Roxas. Do you know her?" He gritted his teeth."Why do you ask about her, huh? Do you know her, too?" he asked."I know her. Do you think I wouldn't ask you if I don't even know her? Of course not. I won't ask you," I said, harshly. He grimaced and didn't speak next. I sighed heavily and broke the silence in his car. He stopped driving his car."Don't be mad at me, please. I'm just asking you if you knew her. You can answer it yes or no. If you don't know her, it's really okay, but if you knew her—""If I knew her what you would say to me, huh?" He said, intensely. I rolled my eyes."What do you mean? You know her, huh?" I asked. "It'sKATE ROSE One night, my cell phone rang while I was preparing for our dinner, so I decided to stop. I picked up my cell phone immediately and answered the call of my fake boyfriend."Hey! Why are you calling me tonight?" I asked him. It takes a minute before he answered my question. His voice was hoarse. "Are you okay?" I added. He sighed heavily. "Do you think I'm okay?" "What do you mean?" I asked, dryly. Minutes had passed before he speaks to me. "Can we talk tonight?" he asked me. I felt there's something wrong with him tonight. Is he having a problem? Well, I don't know."Why do you want to talk tonight? Is it important, huh?" I asked, hastily. "Yes, sweetie. It's important," he said. "By the way, what are you doing, huh?''"I'm preparing our dinner," I said. He breathed deeply on the other line before he speaks to me."Okay. I thought you were not doing anything. But I just want to have someone to talk with tonight. Do you want me to fe
KATE ROSEI sneak out of my auntie's house just to accompany my fake boyfriend to eat his dinner in a restaurant near our university."Do you want to eat, sweetie?" he asked."No," I refused. "I'm done eating dinner. Thanks, by the way. You must eat your dinner, please." He smiled at me."Yeah, of course..." he said, hastily. After he had eaten his dinner, we left the restaurant and drove his car. We don't know where we are going next."Do you want to go to the bar?" he asked me while driving his car. "W-what? To the bar? Are you serious?" I asked. He chuckled."Yes. Have you been there before?" Dark Louiz asked. My eyes narrowed."Of course not. Why would I go there? Do you think I'm a party girl, huh? I'm not like you," I said and crossed my arms."I'm only asking if you want to go to the bar, sweetie. I just want to have some fun there and forget my problem in the meantime," he explained to me. "Do you think it's the solution fo
KATE ROSE "Where are you?" I asked my fake boyfriend after our class in the morning ended. I can't see him around and he's not even calling me. I'm waiting for his call, but I received nothing from him. I don't know why."Why are you asking, huh?" He answered."I can't see you around. What's happening to you, huh? Where are you? Did you go to your class this morning?" I asked him again. He took a very deep breath before answering me."No, sweetie. I didn't go to my class this morning. And I'm here in my room," he said."W-what? You're in your room, huh? What are you doing in your room?" I asked."Yeah, I'm here in my room. I'm all alone here, sweetie," he said."Why didn't you go to your class this morning? What happened to you? Are you tired? Is there something wrong with you?" I asked him."No! I'm not tired, sweetie. Where are you?""I'm here at school. I'm waiting for your call, but I haven't received earlier. Why didn't you go to your c
KATE ROSE I woke up early the next morning. I went immediately to his house after I wore my clothes. I waited for him outside their house. Luckily, her parents didn't see me waiting outside. "What public transport do you want to ride? You have to choose. Do you want to ride a bus, taxi, tricycle or jeepney?" I asked him. He thought for a minute before answering me."I want to ride a jeepney, sweetie," he said."Why do you want to ride a jeepney? Can you please explain," I asked him. Dark Louiz shrugged his shoulders."I don't know why. Maybe it's because most of the commuters rode a jeepney everyday. And you always rode a jeepney before going to our university, right?" I nodded and gave him a smile."Yes. Good idea. So let's wait at the waiting area for a jeepney to ride going to our university. We need to walk, but don't worry it's not a long walk," I answered."I can walk, sweetie. Do you think I can't walk, huh?" he said and gave me a frown.
KATE ROSE I couldn't believe Chloe would say it to me. I didn't cover up his mistakes. I have no right to say everything to his parents. Chloe did the right thing to do and I didn't blame her for telling the truth to his parents. Just like what I've said before, his parents have the right to know the truth about their son and that's what's happening right now. The truth has finally been revealed. "Where are you, sweetie?" Dark Louiz called me when I arrived at the house of my auntie. "Are you already at home, huh?""Yes. I'm home. How about you, huh?""Yeah, I'm home too, sweetie. Finally, you were at home safely. But don't forget tomorrow..." he said, reminding me to fetch him tomorrow morning."You don't have to worry because I'll be there," I said. He chuckled."Good to hear from you, sweetie..." "Thank you!" I said. "What are you doing now?" Dark Louiz took a deep breath."I'm in my room," he said. "I'm changing my clothes." "Ah, okay
KATE ROSE "Did you hear what my friend Brandon says to you, huh?" Dark Louiz asked me while we're eating our lunch. Some students are staring at us, but we've ignored them. I gave him a frown. "He says a lot, right? So, I can't remember it. Can you tell it to me, please?" I said, requesting to my fake boyfriend to tell what his friend Brandon said to us. He quickly nodded. "You've heard it, sweetie. Brandon told me you're a good girlfriend to me unlike my ex-girlfriends. Do you agree with him, huh?" He reminded me. I didn't speak first, I don't what to say to him. Should I agree with him or not? I don't know if I'm a good girlfriend to him. Well, I would say we're not lovers, and we don't love each other. How can I be a good girlfriend to him? I'm only doing what's good for him. I shrugged my shoulders before I opened my mouth to speak with him who's waiting for it."To be honest with you, I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say about it," I said and to
KATE ROSE''You're special, sweetie." It was the words from him, which echo through my ears until now. We're both eating our dinner. I put the bouquet of flowers beside me. I couldn't believe he would give me a bouquet of flowers. It's my first time to receive something like this. For all of my life I've never experienced to be given by a bouquet of flowers. He was the first person who gave it to me. I'm happy because of what he'd given to me, but I didn't tell it to him. We were both silent when we're eating our dinner. A few minutes later, he broke the silence."Is the food delicious, sweetie?" Dark Louiz asked me. I nodded and smiled at him. "Yeah, it's delicious," I replied. He smiled. "Do you like the bouquet of flowers I gave to you?" He asked me. I sighed and spoke to him. "You gave me a bouquet of flowers and you told me I was special. Why did you say I was special, huh? Can you please explain to me?" He smiled at me again."You know what's the mea
KATE ROSENo one tries to speak while he's driving his car. I finally found out the reasons why he became a playboy and hurt a lot of women before. His ex-girlfriend Ella hurt and cheated on him and that's why he decided to hurt and cheat on women to think he'd revenge on her ex-girlfriend. He wasn't able to have a revenge on his ex-girlfriend because he was in love with her before."If I didn't ask you about it, you would never tell with me the reasons why you became a playboy. I asked you before, but you don't want to answer me, right? I think this is the right time for me to know the reasons why. Now I know about you," I said. Dark Louiz breathed deeply before he speaks to me. "And now you know the truth, do you want to leave me? Do you want to finish what we had started before, huh?" He asked me with his husky voice."Do you think it'll be the reason for me to leave you and finish what we started before? I knew already the truth from you, but it doesn't mea
