Rejection and YOU Chapter 18
I went home after spending two hours in the children's care. Somehow, my emotion lightened and I knew that Catie had a huge part in it. My mind and heart were still in chaos about adopting her because honestly, I think I'm not ready. I was in my room packing some stuff because I'm flying to a neighboring country the next day. I booked a ticket for a three-day vacation alone to Cancun as I badly needed to breathe fresh air away from the hustle of my everyday life in Harrisburg. They say that traveling alone is fun for the reasons that you can plan or adjust your trip however you want it as well as improve your confidence. I only wrapped a hand-carry suitcase because I didn't want a lot of things to bring. Truth be told, it would be my first trip to the beach, and I felt excited about it. I'd been to Mexico for an educational trip in their city center before I graduated from University, but traveling for leisure is totally different. I had a hint that I'll enjoy it this time. "I hea

I flickered a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I couldn't be mistaken and I verified it with my very own eyes. My heart raced faster like a horse in a race and couldn't believe he was staying next to my room. "What is he doing here?" I uttered perplexedly. And of all the rooms available on the premises, we were next to each other. Absurd.I wanted to think that he was following me but I didn't want to assume. I had no right to accuse him because he could go wherever he wished to. "What if he's around for business errands? Or just to enjoy his time for vacation, too?" I'm just nonplussed to see him in the same resort where I was and I couldn't confirm either if it was a coincidence. I lay down, feeling the comfort of the queen-size bed, but still, I was mystified. My mind was filled with the thoughts of Denver and I didn't know what to say if ever our paths crossed around the resort. I left the City to ease my mind and heart away from restlessness but here he was next to my

I couldn't ever forget Denver's face that moment I left him in the restaurant. It had been hours but I could still remember it vividly. It bothered me to the core. I didn't know if I was on the right track because I told myself to throw out Denver from my system but I felt dense. I promised not to get affected by his presence but it was the other way around. As a matter of fact, the jealousy I endured because of Meadow was making me crazy. Why? He confessed that he still love me and wanted us back together but I only find it funny. How dare he say that to me when she got another woman beside him? "Is he playing games with me? Did the agony I felt because of him not enough? I twisted my lips in annoyance. It confused me at what was the real score between the two of them. They were close together and it irked me that they looked like a match made in heaven. "Why does Denver keep on pestering me if he got her around? What is he trying to do?" I hissed. Denver broke and ripped me into

Under the shower, I couldn't help but think about the man from the door next to me. We arrived at the hotel on the same day and it puzzled me about the reason why he transferred his suite. Also, it bothered me that Denver and Meadow left in a rush. I couldn't hold to wonder if Meadow got an emergency. I didn't know but a portion of my heart was sad about their sudden departure. Honestly, it should ease my system but I couldn't decipher why I'm feeling that way. I shouldn't get bothered anymore because they couldn't wake my agitation around their presence, but it felt the other way around. It stirred my rational thoughts and emotions. Right after I was changed into a floral string dress with a length right above my knee, I prepped for my dinner downstairs. Since I wasn't that famished yet, I got ready at my own pace. I even applied a lotion to my skin and thankfully, no sign of sunburn could be noticed. Well, it wasn't sunny when I soaked my body on the beach so it was impossible to g

Denver knitted his brows and stared at me with questioning eyes like he realized what I was trying to say. He propped his elbows on the table and laced his fidgety fingers against each other followed by heavy breathing. "Ara, you know her. We've known each other since our university days. You are aware of that, right? Everything between us is all about business," he made it clear and I felt restless hearing it from him. I kept on listening because my emotion exhausts my energy to the edge that I couldn't respond. "As soon as I settled with my goals in Seattle, I worked hard to push and build my business here in Harrisburg because of you. Only because of you!" he expressed with certainty. I felt like my system got paralyzed as his words penetrated my heart. He shook his head. "Meadow isn't the woman who made me fall in love," he said soberly. My lips parted. I felt like we were talking for like eternity. "Baby, after everything that happened, I still can't make myself unlove you. Y
Rejection and YOU Chapter 23
I didn't know for how long I was in deep thought when I realized that Denver was sitting a seat away from me. Thank goodness there was one more seat that separates us. It was crazy to think that he was at the same resort where I chose to spend my leisure time, he left the hotel on the same day that I did, and we had the same flight. My gut feeling was telling me he did it purposely, but I saw him dealing with his business the entire time, too. Dense!The flight felt extraordinary because I experienced the best services the business class could offer. I was served wine, savory foods, and even dessert. I never once imagined being in the luxurious seat but it already happened.Denver asked me a few times if I need anything but I assured him that I'm fine. Well, I refused him every time because I didn't want us to talk for long. Actually, he was on the edge of winning my heart again, and that I'm scared about. However, I had no plans of showing hints to him yet.When the aircraft landed s
Rejection and YOU Chapter 24
Because of so much exhaustion, I wasn't able to unpack my stuff from my suitcase. Seemed my energy and emotion were congested because of Denver. I couldn't believe he went to that measure. I meant, hired someone to follow me around? Absurd. I flopped on my bed with a heavy feeling and prayed that sleep would knock me down in a breath. I wanted to free myself from disappointments even for a night. I was hoping I won't dream of him in my slumber. Gladly, I was very tired from the flight that the heavens heard what I'm asking for. The next morning, I woke up early and prepped to go to the children's care. I needed to let out my emotional distress and as always, the kids could really make me better. As I checked my mobile device, no piece of any message was received from Denver. I bet he was hit hard by my words the previous day. As soon as I stepped inside the institution, "Hi Ara, we missed you here! How's your vacation?" Mrs. Victoria was joyous at the sight of me. I told her that I
Rejection and YOU Chapter 25
Without concealing any hypocrisy, I felt displeased to learn that it was Meadow. I'm aware she's our incoming clientele because it was mentioned during our yacht dinner that her modeling office is under construction. She was absolutely in need of high-quality glass walls but I did not anticipate that it would be sooner.Indeed, it was ironic because of all the days that Miss Vera could ask for help on a factory visit, coincidentally, it happened when her client is the very last person that I wanted to assist. Not that I don't want, but somehow, I'm not comfortable around her.Since I didn't want to complain about it, I replied and accepted the task. I had no other choice because it was part of my job. I could only wish all of a sudden that Meadow herself would cancel the schedule due to some personal reason. I shook my head at the idiotic thought.The rest of my day ran smoothly, however, I could sense some eyes staring playfully at me whenever I opt to go out of my space. Even Alici
