Surprisingly, Nia noticed that Bryce do all the things to make her comfortable on her stay in the hospital.
Bryce didn't say anything after she woke up the following day. He volunteered to help her get up, to guide her in going to the bathroom and even feed her.
Nia is very touched by his gestures and realized he's a warm, loving and caring person although he say otherwise.
It's her third day in the hospital and still waiting for other examination test results. Bryce did all the walking and talking with the doctors the whole day and at night, he will stay awake until the last doctor's visit to check if her vital signs are stable.
Nia smiled at the thought of having him as her boyfriend. She can imagine his pale lips twitching when he will talk back at her every whims but he will give up on the end and he will still give what she wants.
She sigh and silently pray that she can stay
Nia is clueless as to how Bryce manage to bring her home with a wheelchair. She's very uncomfortable sitting on it while all the passersby judgemental eyes were on her until they reached the parking lot. The doctor recommended for her not to think deeply of anything for two whole weeks to avoid stress and not to wash her hair because the fresh wound might open up--the water may came inside her brain and it will decay in less than a year that can cause her death. She still wants to live. She wants to explore, experience adventure and travel--with Bryce if possible. "Why are you smiling while staring at your hands? Care to tell me what is interesting there?", his brows were in a thin line together while his eyes shows he's oblivious of her thoughts. Nia rolled her eyes and murmured to herself, "I thought women are the only busybody." The wheelchair stopped in front of the elevator abruptly. "What? I heard something about busybody
Bryce was left slumped on the tiled floor while staring at his bleeding wound on his palm. When Nia left him, he tighten the small piece of cloth around his hand and since he cannot tie it, he just told the excess inside the other roll. He knew that it was his fault. He shouldn't blame her to what happen on him. It was not her fault that his past is now backfiring. He glance at the messy house. All the things he managed to buy using his own money by earning a living is now a waste. The white antic jar with bulge flowering design that he purchased from his friend--that came from thailand--was shattered into tiny pieces. All the kitchen utensils were cut into half and thrown into a nearby garbage. The couch cushions and pillows were sliced in half. Most of his electric gadgets looks like it was hammered merciless into thin soda cans.
Nia nearly crumble down on the busy high way when the window she leaned on suddenly burst open. Her right foot slide down and she lost her balance. She got scared thinking that she will fell off face first on the cold pavement down the busy street without even saying anything to her mother for the past few days! Her heart sank when she didn't even hold on to the window pane! Nia closed her eyes to think straight--to clear the anxiety that is starting to build up--when a hand grabs her before she could go down further. "Jeez, woman! What are you thinking when you decide to hang out here? It's very dangerous when it's twenty floors downwards!" She abruptly hold on to the man's hand for her to survive. The man instantaneously tighten the grip on her knuckles and pull her up the window. She careen on the floor after touching the other unit's floor. Her breathing
Nia let herself enjoy the companion of Dylan and Wade even if its a little uncomfortable for her. She didn't know why she felt that way when the two of them seems to be friendly. After the early dinner they had, Dylan ask her to come with them in a nearby resto bar and she was obliged to come since they didn't take no as her answer. She didn't regret agreeing with them, this she enjoyed every minute of it. Though Wade and Dylan seem to be drown to the crowd and they left her for a few times in the bar counter, she let them be. Its like one of those night where she partied all night in New York with her friends in the Restaurant she works with before. She smiled at the thought of how she dance with everybody last night while enjoying every drink everyone offered for her. She didn't even had the guts to let the two know when she came back to Bryce unit after three hours. She needed
Nia woke up with a headache. She tend to forget what she do when she reached her alcohol limit. She cannot sit up because when she tried to, her vision is spinning like crazy. In addition to that, there is heavy thing slammed at the lower part of her right thigh. Its as heavy as a hollow blocks and her whole body is aching like she got into a fight! She decided to just close her eyes and let herself sleep some more. Maybe after an hour or so, she can have a late breakfast. Nia clasp the other pillow she remembered that she put on the other side of the bed. To her surprise, what she had touched is something hairy. Did I get a furry cushion from the couch last night? She cradle on it, give a pinch a little bit--which is on of her habits in bed--before he mindlessly hug it. "Ouch!" "Why did it feels weird and yet so comfortable?" She murmure
A/n: The said location on this chapter is purely based on research. I didn't include the entrance fee and the exact place but its somewhere in Antipolo, Rizal, Manila.***When Bryce hit the road with his silver BMW 7 Series Sedan, he knew that their short trip would be fun.He can't help but stare at Nia that has sun reflections all over her face. The dashing smile on her lips makes her look more innocent and naive.She didn't even notice that their hands were still intertwined and that he is using only one hand while driving.He's grinning from ear to ear while sometimes, he's kissing the back of her hand.Nia play her favorite music playlist on her phone--mostly ballad songs--that can hear all over the car. They sang together On the songs while waiting for the traffic until they got on their destination which is in Antipolo, Rizal.Their first sto
On the next day, Nia was shocked to see Bryce roaming around their room half naked. His six packed and is sweaty while holding the tray of their breakfast. He put it on the side table before drying his body with a towel hanging on his shoulder."I heard you loudly snoring and that makes me get up early in the morning." His face is serious and he even touch the bottom part of his eyes with eye bags."I didn't snore! Its past four in the morning when I finally able to sleep while watching your deep breath from the back!" She pinch her lips because she said what she shouldn't in the first place.Bryce intently stare at her and she became conscious. She just wake up and she knew her hair is still a mess. Maybe she sti has dried saliva and morning sun on her eyes!"Argh!" I haven't wash my face and yet I had the guts to argue! She cover her face with both hands before quickly run towards the bathroom to do her morning routine.Bryce on the othe
At four in the afternoon, Bryce urged her to go to Cloud 9 360 Sports and Leisure Club.They arrived at exactly five thirty and an usher guided them for the free parking lot designation.Since peak season is near, they had a hard time to have a room reservation. The receptionist told them to enjoy other amenities while they are waiting. Bryce left his number--for them to call him."Can we eat first? I'm famished! The smell of grilled pork and fish makes my knees wobble a little." Nia broke down on the wooden curved bench nearby and her bag was slumped on the cold pavement."I challenge you to walk with me.on that Hanging Bridge. It's very popular with tourists and it with give you an amazing three hundred sixty degree overlooking skyline view of Metro Manila!"Bryce put his bag pack on his shoulders and picked her duffle bag. He dragged Nia to the entrance of the Hanging Bridge and talked to the security personnel.Nia slowly but
