"Hi." There was an immediate smile on his lips when I faced him. Like the moonlight it was dazzling. Honestly speaking, his good looks are always dazzling. Damn it, Gia. If Bryce came to read your mind, I swear you'll be digging your own grave because of embarrassment. I was exhausted. "What trip did you and Braylon have, hmm?" I kept asking to somehow get rid of the reddening of my face. "What do you mean trip?" His forehead immediately wrinkled when I raised my forehead because I couldn't help but smile. I like it every time his blank face gets different expressions when he talks to me. It makes me feel special because he becomes like that only to me. "This is not a trip, Gia. This is what you called a date." I couldn't help but feel sorry for him confirming that. I know what it is. I already have an idea but I'm preventing myself from assuming anything about this and the fact that he confirmed what brings butterflies into my stomach. When he guided me to sit down, I just let hi
"Braylon," I called the man one morning when I saw him just finishing helping to organize the things that would be needed that day. "Gia," he also called me and then approached me. He took my medical bag and then we walked to the tent where I was assigned that morning. "Aren't you going to ask where Bryce is?" he suddenly asked and then placed the medical bag on the nearest chair. I smiled and then shook my head. "I already know that he is on the other island to accompany some of their investors." I can't help but be confident as I answer those words. I couldn't stop biting my lips either. Braylon suddenly winced. "Tss. I hope everyone is updated with each other," he promised and then sat in the seat next to the one where he placed the medical bag. "Yours, even if I try to update every minute with everything I've done, I'm doing and I've done, there's still nothing and I don't think there's any hope of being cared about anymore." There are traces of sullenness and sadness in his vo
"Are you sure you want to take me?" I asked Bryce while we were on the yacht going to the other island where we were supposed to buy clothes that I would wear on the day of the prayer for his brother's death anniversary. I didn't have any clothes that would fit in such a gathering, so I was having second thoughts about going along, and another thing is that I'm still not that close to his family. I am only close to his grandparents and I feel comfortable only with them. Because it is certain that on the day of the prayer, many of his relatives will go there. "Yes. You looked restless a while ago. Are you okay?" he asked me. I couldn't avoid my two cheeks getting puffy as he gently pressed them so I gasped. I heard him laugh. "You're really cute, Gia." His compliment to me immediately caused my face to blush which I avoided by stroking him. "I can't help but be nervous because I'll see almost your whole family there," I said while bowing down but my forehead was wrinkled like that an
"Good afternoon, Nurse Gia. "What's up, Nurse Gia?" "You're getting better and better, Nurse Gia." "You're even hotter than the sun in the afternoon, Nurse Gia." I simply shook my head at the pleasantries from the interns at the business where I am currently employed. Because my friend is rumored to live nearby and misses me as well, she planned to meet up with me when I just came out. Although I still had work to do, I first didn't want to go, but by the time my working hour was through and it was time for lunch, the frenzy hadn't subsided, so I went to the Starbucks close to the business. "Gia!" When someone yelled to me unexpectedly from behind as I turned around, I merely groaned and turned around because I realized I had been right to assume it was Curt Stevens. One of the cruel ones tried to court me by flirting with me despite my refusal to do so. "Where have you been?" His question caused me to arch my brow. I glanced at him without making any facial expressions after
"Grandpa, you know that I don't have any issue with helping people especially when it concerns their health but do I have to work with your daughter?" I can't count how many times I've asked Grandpa about this because I don't know why he has to send me to a place where I can be with his daughter even though he knows that I don't want to be with her. "You're losing your manners, Gia." I swallowed my saliva hard in no time due to the sudden seriousness of Grandpa's tone on the other line. "I'm sending you there to help people and yes, also for you to be with your mother." "But you know that I don't want to be with her, don't you?" I'm losing hope of confirmation while I'm here on the beach and waiting for a boat to board the island where the medical mission started by my mother will be held. "How long are you going to ignore your mother?" I heard Grandpa sigh on the other line as if he was losing patience because of my stubbornness. "She was the first to ignore it," I reasoned as
"You're heavy." I suddenly went back into a trance when he lied about that because I'm not that heavy! Because I was also ashamed of our position, I immediately stood up. When I got ready, I could feel the sharp eyes on me from girls my age and gay men who were fantasizing about this man. I looked up at him again but he and Grandma Briella were already walking away when I looked back at them Grandma and I still met our eyes and then she smiled and let her grandson guide her again while walking. That's when I realized the position that Grandma Briella and Bryce had. Based on the whispers I hear from the elders around, they are the owners of this island. "Are you all right, sweetheart?" I turned to Dra. McKenna but I chose not to answer her. I sighed because of what happened. I was so surprised because of the closeness between the two of us earlier that I was not even able to move my eyes around his whole face. My eyes were fixed on his emotionless hazelnut-colored eyes. I don't see a
I don't know why Bryce looked at me that badly but I just tried not to pay attention to it even more and Braylon’s noises grabbed my attention. He is talking so much while I'm busy taking care of the medicines that haven't been taken out of the box yet. He also picks it up and then places it on the table in front of us while raising both eyebrows and giving me a silly grin. I made him suffer because he looked so annoying. Not because he's not handsome but because of the nonsense I read there. "I know you want to know how Bryce described you last night, Nurse Gia. Come on. Don't be shy. I'll tell you, eh." He even got a wink at me. "How sure are you that I want to know about it?" I raised an eyebrow at him and I don't know why he suddenly burst out laughing causing those people close to where we were to look at us and it felt like someone was watching me. "Because I can see it." Braylon’s simple response to my question made him frown. "What do you mean you can see it?" Braylon imme
I don't know how in such a quick time Bryce immediately got in front of me and immediately caught the blow that I was supposed to get from the furious man. As far as I remember, he wasn't with Braylon when they came to us, but he was here and Braylon came before them to help me. "Let go of me and don't interfere!" That terrifying voice of Alvin echoed throughout the place, causing Mam Elishea to feel so scared that her hands that were holding me trembled. I looked at her and it was obvious that she was very scared and that she was traumatized because of the behavior and actions of her husband. I was just about to turn my eyes to Alvin and Bryce when suddenly Alvin pulled Mam Elishea with one of his hands and because the lady was clinging to me, I was immediately taken by surprise. "Oh! My! Gosh! What is going on?” "Who asked Alvin to drink again?" "They know that's how he is when he drinks, eh." "I did see Alvin drinking with Kevin when I passed by Jayson's house." "Oh! My! Gosh
