When Khali walked into the room, Rye was asleep. Khali sat beside Rye. She was looking at the guy who looked so sleepy. She touched his cheek. "I'm sorry," told Khali. She also stared at the young man for several minutes. Their months together came into her mind. She smiled slightly. Being with him was the best moment of his life after Brady passed away. "Hopefully, when I get back, nothing will change what you're feeling," Khali said faintly. She wiped her tears and pulled her hand out of Rye's cheek. When Khali got up, Rye suddenly caught her by the wrist and pulled her, so she fell on Rye. Rye stared at her. 'He's awake. Has he heard what I said?' thought Khali. "You're watching me while I'm asleep. Does your boyfriend know this?" Rye asked seriously. "Get off my back," said Khali. Rye was holding the back of her head, and one of his hands was right up her waist. Both Khali's hands were over Rye's chest. Khali was even more surprised when Rye turned around, and she was now
"Didn't you enjoy it, Mam?" Mang Delfin asked When Khali left home, he walked right up to the older man. He was carrying a tub filled with fresh-caught fish. "The truth is, I love this place. It's so peaceful and beautiful," Khali said. "But yet you are leaving. Sir told me you'd stay here until Sunday. That's why I'm here, and I took fish so you could fry something." Mang Delfin said. "Whoa, you caught those fish?" said Khali. She suddenly felt ashamed of the older man. She can't say why she has to leave. "Wait a minute. I'll take it inside. Mam Gayle said she's going to prepare kilawin. It's just right for kilawin." Mang Delfin said Khali smiled. "All right. I'll go around first. They're eating inside." When the old guy left, Khali went for a walk. She was looking out at the vast sea. Khali remembered the rocks floating through the air. So she turned around, ensuring no one was there; Khali looked at the shells in the sand. Khali thought they were floating, and that is
Khali and Vincent stared at Rye while he sat across the table. "I haven't thanked you earlier." Said Rye Khali frowned at Rye. "Thank you for...?" As Rye looked at Khali, Rye applied one of his fingers to Khali's lips. As Rye did, Khali felt the heat on her face, neck, and ears. Rye smiled. "Breakfast was delicious earlier." Vincent did not talk, but the irritation was apparent on his face. When Rye stood up, Vincent and Khali followed Rye with their gaze. Rye even winked at Khali before he left. ******** "What did you do?" Kaleb said as he laughed. "I didn't do anything," Rye told Kaleb. Kaleb's laugh became louder. "Would you like to try cliff jumping?" Rye asked. "Whoa! Are you sure about that, Rye? Cliff Jumping? Do you mean it?" asked Yachne. "Yes, that's fun. It's Khali's favorite," says Rye. "Guys, lunch is ready!" screamed Gayle. ******* On the veranda, everybody eats at the table seated next to each other. Khali is in the middle of Rye and Vincent. Friends s
As Khali and Rye fell into the water, Khali was even more surprised when he hugged her. After a while, he kissed her lips rather than swimming to the surface with Rye. Rye then swam with her, not getting up off the water. Every time Khali breathed deeply, Rye kissed him until they reached the water's surface. Khali coughed a bit more and took an immediate breath. He smacked Rye in the arm. "Are you going to kill me?" Khali asked in fury. "I'm so in love with you!" Khali looked at Rye. Her two hands were hanging around Rye's neck while she wrapped both legs around the man's waist. She knew it was awkward, but that's how she knew he couldn't get away from Rye. "Can you just choose me?" Rye said seriously "Rye ..." Khali said. "I don't think you need..." "You know I'm going to back you up, don't you? In whatever you want to do," said Rye. "You're only gonna hurt yourself, Rye," Khali said. Khali was surprised when Rye kissed her. His tongue teased her so much that Khali slightly
Kaleb was the driver, and Mang Delfin was right next to him. Rye, Khali Vincent, and Violet are in the backseat. It's a little far from the resort, and the sun will set. Rye noticed how sleepy Khali was because she was tired. Later, she leaned over Vincent's shoulder, but Rye quickly took Khali's head out of Vincent's shoulder. He enveloped Khali in his arms. "You're not a boyfriend yet, don't assume." Said Rye "You're not a boyfriend either," Vincent said "I'm her best friend and legit guardian." Said Rye Vincent wasn't talking, but it was obvious on his face that he was upset with Rye. A few moments later, the car pulled up. Mang Delfin looked at them. "Here we are," said Mang Delfin Rye had a slight tap on Khali's cheek. "Love, we're here already." Khali, however, trembled and sat down properly. "Let's go," said Kaleb All of them came out of the car. They leave in a hut close to the vehicle, and an older woman comes out of the house. "Delfin, it's you," said the
"I want you off my life, Rye." Rye seemed stunned by Khali's words. He looked at Khali in confusion. "You want me off your life?" Rye asked. "Yes, I thought about it carefully, and it would be better for you if we avoided each other," Khali said. "But you still need me ..." Rye said "I no longer need you..." said Khali. Rye couldn't believe it. He looked at Khali's face, and her words determined her. "It's always you who hurt me. Are you happy when I'm hurt?" Rye earnestly asked. Khali refused to answer. "Are you truly in love with this man? You trust him instead of me?" says Rye. "I can't hurt you anymore. It would be best if you weren't jealous whenever we're together. There are so many girls out there chasing you. Why are you wasting your time with me, Rye?" said Khali. He just got up. "Well, what if I don't? You're the one I want." "I can only hurt you. Don't you feel sorry for yourself? I've always hurt you." Khali. "I don't care. I'm used to it," Rye said Rye's phon
Rye was about to enter Khali's room, but he heard Khali speaking to someone. He stopped by the doorway and listened to the conversation. "Aren't you rich? Why not check my background?" said Khali. "You wouldn't get mad if I did that?" Vincent asked. "Why should I get mad? That's another thing I see in films when a wealthy friend does a background check on your friends," said Khali. "You know I don't just consider you a friend, do you?" said Vincent. "I can if I want to, but not this time. I'm sure of what I feel for you. I want you, Khali." said Vincent Rye clenched his fist. "Babe ...." Vincent said "Vince, I like you," Khali said. When Rye heard that, he would have opened the door when Khali spoke again. "Rules and conditions. You're my first boyfriend, and I don't want to ruin my future by being immature. I look after myself and my heart." said Khali. "I'm your first boyfriend?" Vincent's voice was quite shocked. "I like you, but you will not control me. Unlike ot
Vincent couldn't keep his happiness a secret. Khali has become his girlfriend. He and his friends were getting drinks at the bar right under the hotel."Congratulations, man!" Tristan and Brent said."I thought I wouldn't stand a chance because of her best friend, Rye. I won." Vincent said happily."What did Khali's best friend tell you?" asked Tristan.Vincent had beer first, then talked."I'm not interested in his reaction. It's important. Khali is mine." said Vincent."What are you up to?" Brent asked.Vincent frowned. "What do you mean?""I am certain that you will have only one end. When you're finished with Khali, you'll leave her too," Brent says."No such thing will happen. I told you before that I'm serious about Khali. And about the plan, I'm planning to introduce her to Mom." Said Vincent."Wow, you're serious about her. It's like Cas ...." Tristan said"Stop," Vincent said seriously. "I said I don't want to talk to people who are gone.""It just occurred to me. Khali is
