039 | First Rejection
Liam’s P.O.V.
Being unsuccessful in getting Diane’s sweetest ‘yes’ for tonight, I must admit that she was my first rejection. But it was fine—I still liked her.
In fact, I loved everything about her: her simplicity, her beauty, her talent, everything. Even with her head down, she still drove me crazy. There was nothing like her. No one could surpass her uniqueness, and her rejection would not make me stop pursuing her.
I should have taken her to an Italian or French fine-dining restaurant because I was craving for *Coq au vin, but I followed my instinct that she would prefer Filipino delicacies. Her simplicity made her even more classy. Besides, I could always order for delivery.
Diane’s choice was what mattered to me now, and seeing her ogling her eyes over a sisig made me want to order for more. I would probably ask her to dine-in at other restau

Liam’s P.O.V.I was able to catch half of his body and decided to lay him down on the sofa first. If I hadn’t done that, his body might have just been injured by the shattered glasses waiting on the floor.That was when I noticed that his right knuckles were wounded as if he cracked them against a firm and rocky object. I went to the guest’s restroom, brought the first aid kit, and returned in front of him.No matter how I tried to ignore his recklessness, I had to treat his wounds immediately so it would not get infected. It didn’t take long for me to treat them. I removed the dirt and some torn skins before disinfecting them. Since his knuckles were no longer bleeding, I used direct pressure to control swelling. After that, I wrapped his hand with a sterile gauze bandage.There was no question that Leandro was too sloshed, but I wanted to call it a night. I

Liam’s P.O.V.I ended up pushing him back on the couch before leaving in front of him and climbed the stairs again. No matter how I tried to explain to him, Leandro’s mind was already closed, so he would never understand it.“Let’s stop this nonsense issue, Leandro! Feel free to rummage through that first aid kit and treat your lip wound. But first, let me ask you these. How many times do I have to prioritize you over the other things? How many times do I have to let go of something just because you asked for it? Damn, stop acting like a kid!” I yelled while glancing at him.He stabbed me with his deadly stares. “Why? Does it mean that you still love Isabelle, huh? That after all these years, you can’t still forget her? Then, leave Diane alone!”I was stunned for a moment, making me remember what happened years ago in Boston…

Diane’s P.O.V.And now, it’s Monday again. The worst day of the week!My class would still be at one o’clock in the afternoon, but I woke up earlier than usual to finalize our documentary thesis. I was assigned to edit and double-check the computations, as well as to proofread its technical writing.Although I considered myself an average student, I must admit that I was quite good when it came to Mathematics and English. That might be the reason why I landed as second honorable mention way back in my high school years.Karen and Lorenz would surely kill me later, so I needed to finish everything today. Wearing skin-toned sleeveless and short black beach shorts, I was leaning on my bed where my chest and tummy were facing the not-so-fleecy mattress.My fingers were busy typing on the laptop as if those were in a rush. My knees were bent

Diane’s P.O.V.“Hmm, I’ll think about it. But right now, I have to end the call first. I’ll just save your number, okay? I’m still tied up with something important, and I have to finish everything today,” I told him.Even though I still wanted to talk to him for a little while, I couldn’t because I had to finish our documentary thesis. The deadline would be this afternoon, and it would be embarrassing for Karen and Lorenz if I would not be able to do my part and finish my assigned task.Well, I have to finish the thesis first before I take care of my love life.Love can wait, but I can’t fail my grades!“Okay, I understand… but can you go and look outside your terrace first?” Still, Liam doesn’t want to let go.“At the terrace? Why? What’s i

Diane’s P.O.V.These were merely paper dolls and toy houses by Denise. It would only be a year before she finally became a teenager, but she was still fond of playing these.“No worries. Denise might say that I am not fulfilling my promise as her new big bro. Hmm, but may I know what you are working on? I mean, the one you are finishing earlier?” he curiously questioned me with light wrinkles on his forehead as he gave me some of the paper dolls.“Ah, that? Our documentary thesis,” I replied. “What’s left is just double-checking of wordings, computations, and I would be all set. However, I have this one problem that I couldn’t solve for almost two hours, and the deadline for submission is today. My friends would kill me for sure, but I don’t know what to do anymore. Hmm, wait here!”After placing Denise’s things on the

Diane’s P.O.V.Liam kissed my forehead.Actually, I was ready to close my eyes and submit myself to him because I thought that he would kiss me on the lips rather. I might deny it in words, but I always got betrayed by my own actions.“Get up now, my lovely Diane. I’m afraid I couldn’t control myself soon, and that could lead me to do something unnecessary to you.” Liam smiled as he gently placed his right arm on my back and supported me from getting up.Oh! How unlucky, Diane? He didn’t kiss you as you anticipated,mocked by the little voice inside my head.I almost sighed due to disappointment.I truly hope that he just continued whatever he liked to do with me. Now, I’m becoming a flirt already. Tsk!Hello? You didn’t even say ‘yes’ to him las

Diane’s P.O.V.There at the door—holding a bouquet of red roses was an unexpected visitor. My mouth hung with lips slightly parted while looking at Liam’s brother, none other than Leandro.“L-Leandro?” That was the only thing that came out of my mouth due to the intensity of my shock. Liam and I got paralyzed on the couch as our eyes got widened with alarm, sweat covering my hands.Liam’s hands were still on my waist. My excitement earlier was suddenly replaced by unforeseen nervousness and fear. Seeing Leandro had streaked terror within me, that I couldn’t think of what to do next. He was the last person I would expect to be here.But what is he doing here?I creased my forehead.For two years, I couldn’t remember even a single time that he brought me here. All I knew was the fact that he had ey

Diane’s P.O.V.“For you. I’m sorry for being a jerk and if I acted that way. Do you want anything else aside from the flowers, Diane? Just tell me, and I’ll buy it now. I can give everything you want,” Leandro offered, but I didn’t reply.His face was so close to me that I could tell right away that he came here after drowning himself in liquor. He reeked of alcohol, and his breath was too stinky that I wanted to throw up everything I ate earlier.He placed the bouquet beside me, knelt in front of me, and held my hands tightly. I was quite shocked because even though Leandro was obsessed, greedy, and egotistic, he doesn’t deserve to kneel in front of me. Actually, no one deserved to kneel in front of anybody.Leandro was the type of guy who would never take the blame and would never allow someone to block his way. He would never say sorry bec
