My feet brought me to the second floor. I decided to sleep inside my mom's room. I can still smell her scent everywhere. I don't want to touch her things and everything she owns in the basement. I want to feel her as if she's just sleeping beside me. I know I can be comforted by the warmth of her bed if I will do it. Laying down here feels like she is still hugging me even if her physical presence is gone already.
I slowly got up and walk towards the window like I used to do when mom is still around. We used to appreciate the leaves slowly falling off the trees around the house. We even laughed at the sight of squirrels chasing each other for wallnuts that's scattered around the vicinity. All those simple things we're both happy about. It is a painful to know that my life will never be the same again without her.
My knees started to lose its strength that I can't help but to lean on the window pane. Instead of bringing back good, old memo
“What’s wrong? Is everything alright?” Gavin suddenly asked when her facial reaction changed a bit. She smiled again to hide what she recalled.“Yeah. Of course, everything is okay.” She said as she nodded.“Alright, then.” As Gavin put her backpack on his shoulders,he held her hand that didn't carry anything. It made Rebecca’s heart beat fast once more. It is only Gavin that could make her feel like this.They went inside the car and Gavin could really feel Rebecca being overjoyed with the whole idea. He was driving his car while she’s enjoying the random music he’s playing.
She was the one who insisted on placing Gavin in the picture. My goodness! Even if she's far from me, she never failed to disappoint me sometimes."I guess we'll be having a lot of leftovers." I said and he nodded right away."Yup. We can eat them later, right?""We?" I asked him back."I will still go with you until dinner time. Remember that I am your guardian angel now.""No you're not. You're more than my ultimate stalker." He laughed as a response. For him, th
“It was a mistake. I admit it.”“What?!”“Goodnight, Gavin.” I ended the call right away before he could put me in his own trap. This is what I hated the most. Being put on the spot that I couldn’t react anymore. I hate this part of me. Trembling, I got the glass of water again and gulped all of its contents in the quickest way possible. A while ago, I was still sleepy but hearing his voice woke up my entire senses. Now, I really hate his effect on me. He’s like a drug I’m slowly getting addicted to. I can’t stop myself from thinking about him. No matter how I tried avoiding him, it’s the thought of him that’s insisting on me.----
“Miss, there were three pending orders waiting for you to serve tables 10, 11 and 12.”“Yes, of course. I will. Thank you!” I heard my fellow co-worker as she passed beside me. She is also serving all the other tables.I tried to smile as I carefully placed the coffee and pastas on the table of the people who ordered them.I really want to enjoy my work without thinking of the rest of what happened last night. It was crazy. I guess I will lose my mind if I continue doing it for always. It was his question that I never saw coming. I was too shocked to even respond. Although I am imagining this situation to happen, it’s a different feeling once you were able to experience it first hand. It’s a totally different feeling of both being anxious, excited and terrified in one.
“Girl, what is the meaning of that? A rekindled passion? Rebecca, you shocked me!” Sheira can’t help but to almost overreact to what she noticed. When she turned her back as she walked forward, she could see Rebecca following her with a sullen look.“Look at you! The party is not even starting but you look drunk and you badly wanted to go home by that expression.” Sheira stopped blabbering when Rebecca looked at her straight in the eyes. She looked annoyed as she took a deep breath.“Look, it’s not the way you think it is, okay? He approached me all of a sudden. What shall I do?”
Rebecca's POVI went home happy. I can't help myself smiling a lot because of what happened today. Also, I noticed that there was no stalker following me ever since I went with miss AC.“You heard me, you’re not deaf.” She said while grinning. Rebecca couldn’t help but swallow. What is the meaning of this? Her heart started to race very fast.Did Sheira see that kissing scene that they shared a while ago?“C’mon! Look at you! You seemed guilty about my joke! Duh! You’re too much!” She said while laughing at her. She poked Sheira’s arm out of frustration. That
