sorry for not updating. Anyway, hope you like this chapter! <3
For a while, it makes me throw those thoughts when I heard someone cough behind my back. The heck! I didn’t remember that Heaven was here with me! Damn! “U-uh-ahh, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean--” “No, it’s okay…” he said when he uttered, cutting off my words, then he chuckled, making me do it also. "If you don’t mind, are you just okay?” I know he noticed that I am in deep thought and like I am worried about some things. That’s why maybe, he asked that. I looked at him straightly on his face as I spoke. “Y-yeah. I’m just fine. Nothing to worry about..” I said smiling and nodding at him. With that, he averted his eyes from me. He rubbed his neck for a moment then afterward, he just put it in his pants. “Anyway, could we go back there inside? Or you prefer?” he was waiting for me to respond as his attention was on me. I pressed my lips then replied. “Yeah. Let’s just go back there..” I said and he nod. At this time, I noticed his expression change to serious and there was something th
Throwing those thoughts, I take a look at him again and I noticed that this time, his expression became serious. He stared at me for a moment, making us surrounds a silence. It seems he was reading me, if what was on my mind as his eyes were on me--meeting our eyes to each other. As I feel uncomfortable at this moment, I sighed and tried to chuckle. I was intent to open my mouth to continue what I will say also. Ugh! I don’t know but I feel awkward as he was in front of me. Maybe because I am not used to it and my androphobia is a bit attacking me. Yes, it is because just of what happened in my past--about what Kade did to me. But with Heaven’s case, I know this is just the first time that we’re in this situation. Particularly, there’s something that makes me feel a bit uneasy about what he will really say and his looks toward me. Ugh! I just don’t know. I always feel it every time I was with Heaven alone. And talking about him--I can’t deny that he is handsome. His black sleeves
For a moment, I took a glass of wine and sipped it. “Anyway, did you too Adam already have time to talk with each other? I mean, you too are closed with each other?” I stopped sipping the wine when my ears become interested in hearing his words as he uttered them. I inhaled first before I let out a word. “Honestly, no. We're not...” he said straightforwardly. I noticed a glimpse of his smile plastered on his lips. He leaned his back on his seat and took a glass of wine, sipping it. “U-uh, okay..” I just said. Maybe I'll be looks like a detective if I keep asking about him and Adam, and he might be asking more for questioning him. That’s enough for me for now to know it. I shrugged. I just sipped my wine in my glass. “Lola, about what did you say to me…” he placed his glass on the table. He crossed his legs while his hands were still holding his wine. “Oh. Is it about my friends? Am I right?” making it clear to him. I smiled while putting down the glass to put my attention on him
I stepped out of the car as we passed through the gate of the house. Heaven opened the door for me, graciously allowing me to exit first before he got out of the driver's seat. Once he was out, he closed the door, and I turned to face him, finding that he had done the same. "Thank you, Heaven, for dinner and for taking me home..." I briefly lowered my head, then looked up at him with a smile. With his hands tucked into his pants, he responded, "You're welcome," a radiant smile spreading across his lips. For a moment, silence enveloped us, and we stood there, neither of us uttering a word. Suddenly, I noticed him exhale deeply, the warmth of his breath reaching me. Breaking the silence between us, I spoke up, "Anyway, I'll go inside now." he simply nodded in response, and I pressed my lips together. Just as I was about to turn away, I caught a glimpse of him trying to say something, his mouth slightly open. "Lola..." he called out suddenly, our eyes meeting in that instant. "Yes?" I
Adam Lopez I woke up to the rays of the sun hitting my face. The window was open, probably because I forgot to close it, allowing some air to come in because it can get hot sometimes and it might be uncomfortable tomorrow due to the surrounding atmosphere. I immediately got up upon remembering that it was Friday—a day when I planned to visit Tyler again because I promised him that I would take him out for a walk since he also wanted to go out with me. It's been weeks since I last visited him because of my consecutive work schedules, and I hardly had any time to fulfill his request, although he insisted on it because he wanted me to take him out. Regarding this matter, there's no problem since I talked to Mother Isabella and Mother Amy, who take care of and watch over them, and they're happy that someone visits Tyler from time to time because some of the children there, especially the orphans, are not content with just being there because they long for their parents or families. It'
"I want you to take me there! There's a beach over there!" Tyler said excitedly as I brought him to a park next to a large mall, surrounded by towering infrastructures.I wanted to take him to the playground, but he refused. He preferred to relax by the bay walk and breathe in the fresh air. He said he would just get tired of playing, and he claimed he was too old for toys and games.I sighed at his actions because it seemed like he was more mature than me. Earlier, we almost argued about the playground and his preferences. Damn!"Let's sit here, Adam! The view here is beautiful!" he had a trace of joy on his face as he looked at the view in front of us."Why do you want to come here and not listen to my suggestion? It's fun to play..." I tried to persuade him, but he suddenly turned to me, giving me a blank look.Then he spoke, "Aren't you happy that we're resting? You've been chasing me around because of my playfulness. Think about it now, Adam..." he immediately returned his gaze to
Anyway, going back, after a few minutes of sightseeing at the bay walk, I invited her to accompany me to a store inside the mall where they sell gadgets. Yes, I managed to save some money to buy a cellphone because I need it now. I didn't buy one before because I wanted to prioritize my family and save up for it. To be honest, my salary is decent now, and I can get by day to day. Speaking of which, I bring Tyler his favorite food and other things he needs whenever I visit him at the orphanage. I discussed it with Mother Isabella because I also want to help take care of Tyler. Besides being my sibling, I don't want them to struggle to provide for Tyler when I can manage it somehow. As for my father, I sent him some money the other day because it was my promise to help him when I can. I don't really know his current situation or if things are still going well for him. Sometimes I can't help but worry about him, especially since he's alone there without anyone. After visiting Tyler, I
Lola ValderramaWe walked quietly and peacefully towards the bench by the bay walk. We were walking together, but neither of us spoke. Suddenly, I found myself sitting there, next to Adam, with Tyler seated on his left side.I felt like I had become mute, unsure of how to start a conversation with him. It was as if my tongue had become paralyzed, and my mind refused to function.Ugh! What's happening to me? I don't want this uncomfortable moment between us."So, why did you bring me here?" he asked, his voice deep and calm. His words caught me off guard.I glanced at him briefly as he continued speaking."I-I mean, why are you here alone? Don't you have friends? Aren't they with you?" I quickly averted my gaze from him as our eyes briefly met. I focused my attention on something else.Shocks! What's going on with me?!"U-uhm, I just accompanied Laurene here to buy a dress and stuff for the event this coming Sunday," I stuttered. I paused for a moment, then continued."Then suddenly, I
