" Yes, we'll be there after an hour."
Jack was talking to some business partners. We are in Francisco Bangoy International Airport. I'm just waiting for my brother to end his call before we go inside. We'll be going to Zamboanga City and stay there for three days.
"Let's go." I followed Jack as I saw him finished talking to someone. He went first and I even saw some other men on their balck suit followed us while carrying our luggages.
It was a private plane owned by our father. I felt ashamed because of the attention of other people as they looked at our direction. There were even four stewardess aligned and smiled us which I smiled back.
Jack is on the pther side then will look at me once in a while. When I got to my sit, next to my brother, I instantly take a nap. It will only take one hour before we can land.
I deaved when someone tapped my shoulder. I installed saw Jack's face and met his
We roamed around the City Hall since morning. When lunch came, we got bqck to our hotel room. I asked our driver, Paul, to bring me some food. I don't know where he lives as this is his hometown. When I asked him, he just answered just near the bay.I received a text from Chelsea when I've open my phone. She asked if I'm free. I typed a message that I'm not and that I'm in Zamboanga right now. Tinatanong niya kung kailan ako free. Maybe after this trip, I will meet them.I really miss that girl. I really feel comfortable when we're together. She has that feels that can make you comfortable when you're with her.When night came, I immediately came to my brother's room. He's been very busy the entire day. I received a text from him that he just arrived so I'll visit him. I also want to asked permission about James' offer, a dinner.I knocked on the door three tomee before entering his
He was slightly startled and lost his grin. His looks were different compared earlier. He immediately sighed and nodded.“ Yeah, it really is a friendly date.”Our ordered lomi were already served. We talk about each other while eating. He shared some details about himself.He's a Scorpio, same as mine. He is an only child so at an early age he was helping his family. I wish I have that attitude too. That I can do things even though it's not my passion. I no longer want to be forced into something I do not like.“ I want to be an Engineer yet my dad wants me to manage our company.” He said. “ I almost finish my studies. Two more years and I can feel freedom.”He laughed slightly."You're accelerated?" I asked.He nodded and then drank some water. Wow. He's really amazing. He's still 19 yet he almost finished his studies."I want to pursue Nurs
TWO days have passed and I really enjoy my stay here in Zamboanga.My older brother just came home from Malaysia and before we returned to Davao, we ate at a restaurant. We also went around, he said he would spend time with me on the days when I was not with him.At first, I was upset to my brother because I thought I couldn't be with him. I understand that he's very busy and I'm still very grateful because he still give me his time to bond with him.Now we were on our way home and boarded a plane when we saw James sitting in the front seat, on the other side where I used to sit. He was wearing a simple v-neck shirt and pants fitted on him. Add to that his aviator shades that I don't think are necessary. It's gloomy today, so I thought, for his style?“ James?”“ Hey.” he greeted and slightly nodded.I felt my older brother behind me so
I went home with a heavy heart. I immediately went to my room and lay down. I can't understand myself right now after I heard what Aunt Gisselle just told me. Is James already in America?And he didn't inform me. I was shocked as I heard that. I kinda feel disappointed and confused at the same time. I don't know the reason to why he left. He just told me that he will back to America but I did not expect that it will this early.As far as I know, we're in good terms. We did not meet for four or more days and during those days, he didn't show up. Not that I miss him, it's just that, I'm used to always seeing him.I feel sad that I will not meet him again, maybe. America is too far away. Eventhough there's social media to where I can use to communicate to him, it's still different when I talk to him personally.Surprisingly, he did not say that he would leave suddenly without saying goodbye. I thought he wo
"Jane, you have a visitor, they are downstairs."I was surprised when I heard what Jace said and the word 'they' mentioned. Why so many? I thought it was just Chelsea and me.Today is the day Chels and I agreed to hang out. It's been two weeks since she asked me to go and we agreed to do it now because my older brother didn't allow me to go out last week. So I'm very excited because and at last, I can go out again.I wonder who's Chelsea's companions, she said that we are the only two to hang out. I just don't know who's with her because I've been here in the room now and tidying up." Thank you. I'll go downstairs."I tied my hair tightly while looking on the mirror. I just wear a simple black ripped jeans and paired with plaid shirt.When I saw that my look was fine, I immediately left the room. I found Chelsea looking around while looking at the paintings displayed on the wall. S
My forehead creased to what she said, didn't understanding what she meant.“Why did you move from your house? If we hadn't asked Ethan, we wouldn't have known.”I was stunned for a moment and looked at Ethan who's now turned his attention to me."Ah, daddy took me from Grandma, the one where I used to live.""You're hella rich, Jane," I heard Luke said. I looked at him and nodded slowly. “That's why your surname is familiar because you are the daughter of Mr. Valdez, my dad's friend. ”I couldn't answer and just looked away. Why didn't I tell them about my situation?“Yes, everything you said is true. We are rich and I am one of the heirs of my family, but I don't like that kind of life. I just want something simple and peaceful. It does have pressure and great responsibility because of my family business. ” I answered as I
“ Nicole?” I asked.She give me a me and looked again at Ethan who was staring at her intently. She smiled and looked up at him. Ethan averted his eyes and turned to me. He approached me and grabbed my arm."Jane, come on." he said and pulled me away from that woman.We moved away from the woman named Nicole. She looks sad when I look at her before I turned my gaze to Ethan.“Do you know him Ethan? She likes you.” I said. I'll gossip about the lovelife of this guy.He didn't look at me and just took me to Chelsea."She's my neighbor, a very clingy neighbor." he answered.“Hm, new to you? You don't know her though.”"They moved a few days ago."I just nodded at his answer. I feel something different about that woman. Maybe, she just really looks like someone. I can't remember though.We immediately called Chelsea whe
We gaze at the driver's seat when the door opened and Nathan entered.“Snacks guys. We're close to Jane subdivision.”I nodded. I got a snack for myself and opened it. I eat quietly while thinking things. What if, Cheska didn't left? What if she just told us her reason? And is there really only one reason for her to leave or something else? What could have happened if ever she hadn't rejected Zaine's confession? Will it give a change?Even me, I can't seem to find the answers to that questions. She has her beautiful life here. She has friends and family here that are willing to be with her.I can't understand myself, the first day she left, I understand her situation but as days passed by and many questions weren't answered, I'm confused. Is it because I envy her for having the things I wanted to have or is there something else?I hope this feeling won't change my relationship with her. I really wan
