The room was filled with momentary silence as soon as my phone stopped vibrating. It was as if there were crows cooing on the background.Everything went in a flash and he was the first one to see the notification. It must have been a message.Although Sol can contact me anytime, she probably won't be calling me since she knew that I'm at work. Even texting me might have bothered her so much while pondering if she should or should not. That's just how sweet and understanding Solenn is."Ha! I knew it. 'Not what you think' my ass. This just proves my suspicion. You were just about to deny it a second ago. Now, it's proving what I thought itself." He smugly announced.I want to rip that smug look on his face. "So ... what did she say?" I asked.There's no point denying it any further than now. If he wants to, he can even make a personal visit to my house at this very moment under the guise that it is something important and no one will suspect him for that, except for me.He comes and g
Days passed but Solenn and I remained awkward to each other whenever we bump into each other at the coffee shop where she works at. It was usually because our faces will blush intensely as we stare at each other's eyes.I always remember our hot and passionate endeavours during our nights together. Though I am not sure if she's just the same as me. Our bodies and personalities clicked to each other. Even our desires matches which is why we always remain busy at night.But despite that, we arrive at work fresh and energized. It was as if the two of us are fully charged for work. My colleagues noticed the sudden change and glow in me and are starting a weird rumor. It was only circulating around some certain departments saying that I am already planning to settle down with my lover, and what-nots.It's partially true though. I just don't have any idea as to who started it. And it is highly impossible for Jeff to do it. Though he loves to hear gossips, he's not the kind of guy to make an
"... I used to believe that life is just like a fairytale. Just like a princess falling for the prince for the first time in her life. Or a damsel in distress who was saved by her knight in shining armor when she was In danger. However, those thoughts were nothing but straight-up fantasy. And I was awakened from this bitter-sweet dream of mine to the world of reality ..."... Like a cold bucket of water being poured down on my body ... my feelings and beliefs soon turned numb. And everything that I could think about was the will to survive and support my poor family." Solenn Alva is a plain, sweet, and diligent 18-year-old lady who then set off on a journey from F City to S City. She has dark brown wavy hair, and perfect brownish-red pair of orbs adorning her eyes. Her long eyelashes make her look enigmatic whenever her eyes flutter open. Her figure is well maintained even though she came from a poor family that lives in the far southern part of the boonies in F City. The city was m
SOLENN'S POVI slept soundly on the warmth of a soft bed and under a roof that has no leak or whatsoever. The walls and windows contain no cracks where cold chill from the weather could seeps in. The stay in my new house is comfortable indeed.But no matter how suitable and comforting this place is, I cannot get the thought of my family I left behind out of my mind. I can't fully relax since I am feeling guilty about their situation when I left them in that place and did not take them together with me to this new city.The condition of our house back in F City is awful enough for me to not feel relieved even if I had gotten myself out of that poor living. My father whose health is now deteriorating. My mother is eager to help my father in earning a living but has her hands full just with tending to my father's health. My sisters ... who are helping our parents by taking various jobs to earn some measly change from others.And the fact that I had the nerve to sleep soundly despite all
The one I picked out for the place where we will eat our lunch according to my preference, is a family restaurant across the street. Once you entered the restaurant, you will be welcomed by waitresses that are dressed in maid costumes. The background music is that of a lively tune. It makes every child sing happily and make a positive vibe inside the restaurant. Despite the simplicity and vibrant atmosphere, we can still infer that the restaurant itself is of high value because of its interior and exteriors. We occupied the table for two which is located just beside the glass window. One of the waitresses then approached our table to ask for our orders as they gave out the menu.I ordered some chicken glazed with honey and garlic sauce. On the other hand, Sky, the man who offered himself to treat me for my help twice, ordered a sweet and spicy chicken. Both meals are served with rice and lemon iced tea.The waitress confirmed our orders once more before leaving to hand over the list
I got reprimanded by my colleagues as well as the manager for leaving the coffee shop in a rush. They were quite worried for me, the moment I dashed out of the shop to follow the customer and give the purchased order to that person.Some of them were even teasing that the reason why I acted in that way was that I fell in love at the first sight of him. Some ladies around my age were fantasizing about Sky since he indeed has great facial features.His natural ash brown hair color, his golden-brown orbs adorning his eyes like some sort of mysterious jewels, his pointed nose which makes me feel small for some unknown reason, and the veins that popped out of his fair-toned arms.My girl colleagues squealed by themselves as they described Sky's features which were only inside my head at the moment. I shuddered at the sudden thought, so I shake my head to get rid of those rude and perverted thoughts.I could be considered as an adult but still, I am too young for thoughts like that. Aside f
Raya and I decided to bring the kinds of stuff we purchased to work this morning. We might not be able to make it if we want to go back to the shop yesterday because the manager decided to close the shop early.Right now, Raya was the one who made our breakfast. It was because she insisted on doing so since I was the one who prepared our breakfast yesterday. Although I refused her proposal a few times, she was persistent in making our breakfast, so I had no choice but to do as she say.I woke up at the same time as Raya so while she is busy making breakfast, I decided to take a bath. With this, we may save more time in our morning routines and get to the shop much earlier than before.We have to move quickly so as to not waste time, since we also have a lot of things to bring with us. One good thing about the coffee shop where we work was the fact that it was a few blocks away from the manager's house. It makes it easy for her to arrive at the shop as early as possible especially if o
The four seasons have passed since then, and another Spring has come. This means that my 21st birthday is now coming quickly. Days that I spent here, then turned into weeks. Weeks to months, and months to years. Three years have passed since the first time I got to know Sky.Now, our relationship has made a huge leap. We consider ourselves as something more than mere acquaintances. The two of us have a relationship similar to that of closer than friends but less than lovers or something of the like.Right now, I am about to ask him for a meet-up since he seems troubled for the past few days whenever he visits the coffee shop to buy his coffee. He looks like he is in a daze and when I try to talk to him and ask him about what his matter is all about, he would only look at me as he is in deep thought, and he will also respond to me much later than usual.For the past three years, I got to know his usual temperament. When he answers his phone to talk with his clients, about anything rela
