I LOOKED AWAY WHILE reminding myself that I’m a gentleman – and gentleman doesn’t ogle their eyes on someone sexy… but weak. I won’t be swayed by this kind of petty move. “Just what the hell are you doing? You’re sick, Dawn.”
“And? Come lay here beside me, mine.”
DUSK WAS LOOKING AT me like I was some sort of a criminal. She was sitting beside the hospital bed while caressing her sister’s hair. I, on the other hand, was just standing a few meters away from the bed.“Ready to tell me what happened?” Her brows arched as she asked me that question.
“WAIT, WHAT?” My brows furrowed. “I do something weird?” I looked at her puzzled.She rolled her eyes. “We’ve been telling you that for the longest time, sugar. That’s the reason why whenever you get sick, we leave you at home and never allow you to go outside. But that doesn’t mean we really left you on your own.”
I LOOKED AT DAWN who was avoiding my scrutinizing eyes. She wasn’t able to tell me what happened in the bathroom since she still can’t talk. The doctor said that it’s just temporary – that it happened because of the excessive shock she felt when she slipped. She looked like a battered woman who fought with her husband. She had a lot of bruises which was made obvious because of her white skin. Her neck was supported with a brace since she complain
I took a deep breath as I looked outside the window again. Why do I feel so empty and sentimental today? Am I having a post sickness experience or something?

Never thought he’s dumb when it comes to making excuses.Although Pops looked at him with suspicion, he allowed us to leave in one condition – that Caleb will never leave a mark on me nor he will do something immoral again. That’s what exactly Pops said and I’m aware th
“WHAT SHOULD I DO?” I asked Dusk while looking at her confused. From what I know, gossip like this is something that celebrities avoid. “First, we have to get you out of there so stand still.” Caleb walked towards me and carefully carried me in his arms that made me squeal. It felt weird being lifted by him when we just fought last night but this damn heart was once again beating fast.
“WE’RE GOING TO FILMthe bathtub scene today so please get ready.” Director Greg shouted and the people started to move quickly.“This way please.” Said Maya who’s been assisting us in the set ever since I started as Dusk’s double. She led me and Caleb in a room with a big tub facing a wide glassed window where you can see the wonderful volcano view. We were staying in an extravagant hotel in Batangas.
I FELT THREATENED with what Caleb whispered. What am I going to regret? Why does he seem so displeased? And does this mean that he really despised seeing me in this lingerie?
