"What did you guys talk about?" Caesar asked as he sat beside me."Not much at all. We were only reminiscing about our adolescence." I responded hastily, terrified that Raine would reveal the truth.Caesar gave a nod. "I see.""What brought you here?" I asked."I just wanted to come hang out. Do you mind?""No, of course not. We're already hanging out, so the more, the merrier.""It sucks that I wasn't invited, though." He stated it with a disappointed tone in his voice.I laughed. "This wasn't planned, okay? These lovers appeared out of nowhere in my room, waking me up from my deep slumber.""That rhymes.""Hm?""That was the last sentence you said. It rhymes."I laughed once more. "You still took notice of it?""That was because I was listening closely.""So now you know how to listen closely."Caesar cocked one of his eyebrows amusingly. "And when did I not listen to you closely?"I pretended to be thinking and trying to recall things. "Um, I can't remember the exact details anymor

Caesar’s POVTyler arrived at the bar while I was already on my second glass of rum.He tapped my shoulder to let me know his arrival before taking a seat on the stool next to mine.He drew the bartender's attention and ordered his own drink before placing his clasped hands on the bar's counter and looking at me."So, what is it this time?" he inquired. "Will this be another night of sharing your feelings?" He was grinning from ear to ear, which irritated me to no end.I was already aware that he was doing and saying irritating things on purpose to irritate me, but he still managed to provoke me.To be honest, I never imagined that one day I'd be hanging out with Tyler.I used to despise him. And I despised him even more after Brae departed, and he refused to tell me anything, despite the fact that I knew he knew something. I even made a scene, causing us to fight. But after learning and realizing some things, as well as having an emotional chat with him and Raine, we gradually began

"What's up with this sudden outing? Were you two not preoccupied with wedding preparations?" I asked Tyler and Raine. They unexpectedly called me yesterday night to invite me to an outing with them and Caesar. And because I had nothing planned for my vacation, I gladly accepted their invitation. So here I am, currently at their house, awaiting Caesar's arrival. Raine told me that Tyler and she agreed to live together only three months ago. They bought a house with their savings and began a new chapter in their lives. And, according to Raine, it was in this house that they had their baby—something I didn't want to know but Raine decided to reveal regardless. "The preparations were nearly finished with little supervision required, so it's fine. And our parents will be there if the organizer, coordinator, or planner needs anything or has any questions. And this outing is not unexpected, okay? We've been meaning to do this for a long time but haven't gotten around to it because you have

Caesar was in the driver's seat, and I was in the passenger seat, and we've been leaving for a few minutes now. Tyler and Raine's car were ahead of us, and Caesar and I were following. "How long will it take to get to the resort?" I asked Caesar. Without looking at me, Caesar replied, "If traffic is light, it will take longer than an hour but less than two hours." I gave a nod. "Quite a long while." I commented, and Caesar just responded with a hum. After a few moments of silence, Caesar replied, "You can play some music." My head shook. "I prefer the silence." I've grown to prefer calm and quiet since becoming a writer. It's likely that I started using it in my daily life because that's what I needed whenever I had to write. I don't mind the noise, but I love it when it's quiet. "I'll keep quiet for the rest of the drive then," Caesar remarked. I cracked a smile. "But I don't mind having a conversation with you." "Then, what do you want us to talk about?" I raised my head,

"Hey! Brae!"Raine's yelling at me was what jolted me out of my trance.Raine sat alongside me, and I gave her a blank expression."What's going on? You seemed to be in deep thought. Did something happen?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.Did something happen? Yes, absolutely!I'm still having trouble processing what Caesar said. Even after we arrived at the resort, and even now that I'm inside the room Raine and Tyler reserved for me, my mind seems to be stuck on the talk Caesar and I had in his car.I have no idea what happened next or how we got to the resort. After Caesar's response, my mind was already racing with questions.I was already surprised that Rhea had broken up with Caesar, but the reason for this surprised me even more.I had no idea Caesar was in love with someone else.I believed he was in love with Rhea the entire time. It turns out he was in love with someone else.To think about it. Caesar has told me several times that he likes Rhea, but he has never expressed t

Caesar and I decided to walk around the resort and check out the various areas and services.We are staying at a destination resort, specifically a beach resort. It wasn't as large as the other resorts I have been to, but it wasn't nearly as crowded, which I like.Perhaps it's because the resort is quite new, having only opened two months ago, and is also located in a somewhat quiet place. Only a few tourists have discovered it and are interested in it.We can enjoy a variety of facilities and activities at the resort. Among these are beach massages and kayaking and paddle boarding, both of which I intend to do with Raine.After becoming weary of wandering about, I persuade Caesar to get us drinks before we settle into the resort's open garden.The open garden contains a wide range of tropical flowers and fruits, the vast majority of which I had never seen before.Caesar and I sat on an oak garden bench in the middle of the many species of orchids, smelling their various fragrances—fr

When I heard what Caesar said, my brow furrowed.I'll be surprised? Why? Just who is Caesar in love with that he won't tell me about? Is it really someone I know, as I suspected?The more questions that came to mind, the stranger I felt, and I'm still not sure why.I am certain that I am no longer in love with him. So I'm not sure why my heart was racing so rapidly. Nonetheless, I was able to keep my emotions under control.After a few moments of staring at him, I finally opened my mouth to voice my displeasure. "You can't say that now. You're just going to tell me that after getting me curious? No, I'm not going to let this day finish without you telling me who the woman is who stole your heart and held it in her palms for 10 years.""Brae…""No." I answered firmly, shaking my head. "You're not going to be able to avoid this conversation, Caesar. Because I'm even more determined to find out who she is."He let out a sigh. "Why do you want to know her?""Because I'm intrigued? If you'

When I noticed Caesar approaching me while putting his phone back in his pocket, I quickly stood up from the bench, clutching my drink tightly. "You're done?" When he was already in front of me, I asked him. He responded, "Yes." I nodded and merely muttered, "Okay," because I didn't know what else to say. Caesar opened his mouth and appeared to want to speak again, but I had already beaten him to it. "Can I go back to my room now? I was tired of strolling around the resort and wanted to lie down. You can stay if you want to." I said it quickly, despite my best efforts to smile. I'm just not sure if it's the smile Caesar saw in my face or a wry one. Caesar looked at me closely, as if he were trying to read my mind. I cursed quietly. I could barely keep my emotions in check at this point. Why does he have to keep staring at me like this? With the way Caesar was staring at me, I expected him to say something or ask me a question, so I was already planning how to avoid any question
