ShantelleAs I looked at Gavin, waiting for him to respond, my heart was racing furiously. I didn't want to hope that he would say he loved me, but I couldn't help it. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for what he would do or say. Gavin still wasn't speaking even after a few minutes had passed. He was just clenching and unclenching his fist continuously as he glared at Baron. Then he heaved a deep sigh as he forced himself to keep his cool. "Please, don't joke around and mess with me, Baron." Gavin uttered those words softly, but when they reached my ears, it was as though his words were a sharp blade that cut my heart into pieces. It seemed that he didn't want to answer Baron's question at all. Baron suddenly laughed sardonically at Gavin's remark. "Do you think I'm merely playing mind games with you? If you're not serious and can't love her, then I will do it in your stead. I'm really sincere with her."His voice was dripping with sincerity and determination. From the
ShantelleI could only stay silent because not a single word came out of my mouth. My heart thumped furiously when I heard his following words. "When I asked for your hand in marriage last time, I was being serious. I just used your pregnancy as an excuse because I know you won't believe me when I say that I love you. I want to take care of you and our child. Please believe me that I want to build a family with you," he said pleadingly. I took a step back when he tried to touch me. As though he didn't expect it, Gavin was stunned when he saw my reaction. But I didn't want to face the same heartbreak even though his words were quite convincing. I need to guard my heart against him. I already had enough. Nonetheless, I want to give him a chance. I remembered the words Cara told me that I should not forgive Gavin easily even if I gave him a second chance. It will take time to regain my trust in Gavin... and I will do this so I won't have regrets later. I sighed when I made a decisi
ShantelleWhen I turned my body to the side, I saw that I was on a soft mattress. My forehead wrinkled up in puzzlement. I thought about how I was still lying on the couch, waiting for Gavin to come back. ‘Did I fall asleep on the couch and then, half-awake, walk to bed?’I got out of bed and looked at the clock. It was already seven in the morning. ‘What was Gavin doing? What happened to the food I asked him to get? He should have woken me up.’I got out of bed and went to the living room with a frown, but Gavin's shadow wasn't there at all. The lines in my forehead got deeper. ‘That guy!’ I want to yell at him so much. I was often like this, and every morning I was in a bad mood.When I smelled something strange coming from the kitchen, my nose turned up. I ran there because I thought something might have happened in there.The first thing I saw when I walked into the kitchen was Gavin. He was wearing black pants and nothing else on his upper body except for an apron. Even though
Shantelle I looked at all the food on the table and looked at each one separately. The strawberries in the strawberry sundae are fresh, and the cheese-flavored fries are still fine. It looks like he asked for it to be brought to him.“How did you get it?” I pointed to the egg pudding and asked."At the gas station," he said as he put the plate in front of me."This fruit salad?" I asked again."I made it," he said.I turned my head up and gave him a suspicious look. I asked with a look of doubt, "It wasn't poisoned, was it?"He did nothing but laugh and shake his head."And what's this?" I pointed to the white bun as the last thing.He said, "From a random Chinese store."I gave him a nod and looked at the breakfast he had made himself. Fried eggs, bacon, hot dogs, and cooked rice were his specialty. It seemed like he didn't fry the rice because I didn't like the smell of the garlic.I stopped talking and put my head in my food. I had been hungry for a long time, and my mouth watered
ShantelleI was interested in what Gavin had to say, but I didn't say anything. I would rather enjoy the food than worry about what he says.I was enjoying the food and the atmosphere of the place, and I could feel a light breeze. We didn't like how sweet and romantic it was.I stole a look at Gavin. I wasn't sure what to say to him. I was too amazed by his surprise to say anything. I didn't know how to tell him how I felt. I still wanted to mess with his feelings, but the way he was acting made it look like I would give up right away. ‘That wasn't fair at all!’"Do you date a lot of women here?" I asked Gavin. He looked at me funny and gave me a look. Since we were almost done eating, I decided to ask him."Of course not. I brought no one else with me. Do you want to spoil the fun?" He asked in earnest.I didn't say anything because I had nothing else to say.He had a point. If he had said he had brought another woman here, I might have been angry. We're going to fight anyway. I'd
ShantelleThere is still some sweepingly beautiful music playing in the background. Gavin came over to me and extended his hand to shake mine.He said, "Will you let me have this dance?" He was beaming his warm smile in my direction. And just because of that, I found myself becoming a little bit more irritated with him. I reached out and took the hand that was extended to me, and he pulled me to my feet.He took my hands and placed them on his shoulders, then he took me by the waist and softly held me. The music was gentle and played at a leisurely tempo.We got going right away. The song has a romantic feel to it. I had no idea why my heart was racing at such a rapid rate. In spite of the fact that I am well aware of how corny it sounds, I appreciate it. This is something that I had only ever seen in movies, and it's a cliché. That wasn't an innovative concept at all. On the other hand, it was the very first time that I danced with another person. It would seem that this very ins
ShantelleA few of weeks ago, I made my way back to Gavin's condo unit. Yet, we were sleeping in separate rooms. It's amusing how every night he attempted to charm me so that he could sleep in my bed, and it's even funnier how he failed. Honestly, I really considered allowing him to stay in my room, but I decided against it because I wanted to torment him, more. It was still impossible for me to forget what he had done, despite the fact that I had compassion for him. I need further time before I can really forgive him with all of my heart.I was up and out of my room as soon as I opened my eyes. The moment Gavin started cooking, I could smell his food. This is how he conducts himself first thing in the morning on a daily basis. He said that he was pursuing me romantically and exerting great effort to win back my confidence.As soon as he saw me go into the kitchen, he spun around to face me. Even though his hair was still a mess, he managed to maintain an attractive appearance. My
ShantelleWe arrived and was aready parking the vehicle in front of the company's main building."Gavin?" I whispered his name in his ear. As he stopped the automobile, he quickly shifted his eyes away from me."Alright. That must be before eight o'clock. But first, kiss me," He showed a smile.I was upset with him because I thought he was going to destroy my lipstick.He smiled and added, "If you don't want to, it's before six then." I sighed.As it seemed like there was nothing else I could do, I went up to give him a kiss. I was aware of how he clung to me by one of his hands and held it around my waist. I should have known that he would smudge my lipstick given that fact.In spite of the fact that all I wanted to do was give him a fast and light kiss, he prevented me from trying to move away from him in order to prevent me from doing so. He wrapped his arms around me and began to passionately kiss me. My lips were softly caressed by his.I was caught off guard, but I was quick t
