It was late at night already. They didn't notice this since they were busy having fun with each other. It looks like both of their plates are empty and clean. The steak that Drake prepared is already in their stomachs. "Wahh, that was a fine dinner." Kianna compliments the food that Drake prepared. "Next time, can you prepare dumplings? You know, the ones that can be sold in Japan. I heard it's Japanese cuisine. They have fluffy meat inside and their outside is crunchy, and... hmm, I like that." Drake smiled not because she complimented his food but because she said, 'Next time'. Knowing that she looked forward to that moment, he was delighted. Kianna notices it and giggles as she asks him. "What, why are you smiling? Is there something funny?" He shook his head and laughed. "It's nothing. I'm just happy." "Hello, about what? Would you mind sharing it with me? "I'm happy because I'm with you." Their sweetness was interfered with by a phone call. They look at where it came fro
The final piece of the item that Drake is creating is now attached. After such a long time, he let out a satisfied sigh. Finally, the item is done. He didn't have enough sleep for those days. That is why he is more than happy that the item is done. Fixing the thin platinum on his pulse, he gently put the watch on his wrist. With a somewhat nervous feeling, he clears his throat and smiles. Closing his eyes, he thinks of Kianna. Word started to type on the screen. In such a short time, his thoughts are now written on the screen of the watch. He smiled as he saw the words written on it. Still, the final feature is about to be seen. It's a success? or perhaps a failure? DING A notification was heard coming from Kianna's phone. She was holding a cup of tea and about to take a sip when she heard the notification. What might it be? She asks herself. Not looking forward to anything, she saw the notification saying that a message was sent by an unknown number. ' I hope I can see you as so
"Is this the place?" Kianna asked as her eyes were covered with cloth. Drake asks her permission to blindfold her so she won't see his surprise. While gently guiding her on where she should step or not, Drake tried his best to not make Kianna slip on the floor. ''Yes, but you have to walk a little further. '' Kianna can't help but complain. She's been hearing those words, such as 'a little more' or 'almost there', but they still haven't reached their destination yet. ''Drake. We aren't lost. Are we? '' She heard a chuckle in response. ''Of course not. I promise we are near our destination.'' ''But you've been saying the same thing since then. How am I supposed to believe you now? '' They stopped their walk, and a smile can be seen on his face. ''Are we stopping here? '' ''Yes, are you ready? '' He asked, which made Kianna smile in excitement. ''Bring it on.'' Her eye fold was removed, and so the music started. Kianna POV [You are the one that I will love for eternity.]
Exequiel continued walking in the area of the bathroom where he could wash his hands, but as he tried to recall the face of the man he just bumped into a while ago, he couldnโt help but feel a little uncomfortable. โI think I saw him somewhere before." Trying to recall who it was, he just let go of his thoughts. Giving up on recalling who it was, he made his way to where he was going. Back on the table, Scott notices the necklace Kianna is wearing. He asked his cousin where it came from. โKianna, that necklace looks nice. Who gave that? โ As soon as she heard Scott's question, Kianna couldnโt help but blush. She tried to hide it, but she failed. The blush on her cheeks can be seen as a clear red as she tries to avoid their gaze while holding the necklace hanging from her neck. Patrish let out a sigh and slightly giggled. โYou know Scott? You always act like an overly protective big brother when it comes to them. Aren't you that kind of..." Scott glared at his best friend Kyler.
Hera arrived at the restaurant, but she was late. The ambulance was on its way to the nearest hospital. She looked at the surroundings and saw Patrish with Kianna patting her back. Without any further ado, she made her way to them and asked between her heavy breaths. โExeโฆ Where is Exequiel? โ Warren and Scott are the ones who went to the hospital together with Exequiel. Kyler was still shocked by what happened. He was walking back and forth behind Patrish and Kianna.โI said, Where is he?! "She shouted as no one had the courage to answer her question. Kianna took a deep breath and looked at her with worry.โHe was on his way to the hospital. Scott and Warren are with them.โAs soon as Kianna finished her answer, Hera didn't wait for a moment and asked again. โWhat hospital? โKianna canโt help but feel that something is not right. She was sure that there wasnโt something like this that would happen in the future. Exequiel gained a serious head injury, and this isn't something she wo
โI donโt know what I should do." Kianna mumbled as she leaned her forehead against her boyfriend's back. They are on their way to the hospital. Kyler was with Patrick, but as for Kianna, Drake was the one who picked her up. After knowing what happened... โDo not go anywhere else. I will go and fetch you. Stay where you are. Iโll be there.โ Drake puts down the call, which makes Kianna unable to respond or even decline his order. Kianna let out a deep sigh, which made Drake a little worried. โEverything will turn out alright. You just have to believe.โ He ran his motorcycle faster. The wind blows and touches their skin. The sky above is completely dark. โBut for now, you have to hug tighter.โ Kianna smiled and laughed. โYou know what? You have a cute side too.โ Drake let out a laugh, which made Kianna calm down from her thoughts. They have not uttered a word since then. The way to the hospital was calm, and the only thing one could hear was the sound of different vehicles making t
Hera feels that someone is looking at her. When she looked at her friends, all of their eyes were on her. She started to feel anxious. Hera knows very well that it is her fault. Still, she can't accept the fact that her friends are looking at her that way. Itโs not like she wanted that to happen for Exequiel. Looking down at the tiles, where only white can be seen, she looks at them with dismay. She is disappointed in herself. โI created the LACIDO to protect them, yet it is I who bring harm to those who are important to me.'The ground on which she is standing is white, and the walls surrounding her are white. Even the ceiling above her is white. She bites her lips as she gazes at the cold floor with a bitter smile.'I hate this feeling'She mumbled to herself.Everything around her is all white. As. If it is telling that she is different compared to them, as if she were the darkness in their light, Itโs as if the truth is slapping the thought that she is the black sheep among them
"Drake..." Francis repeated that name. He heard it many times from Kianna when they were still close. She would tell Francis some things they did or even some memories Kianna couldn't forget. At first, he thought that Kianna was simply telling him her thoughts, but as he realized Kianna's feelings for him, he couldn't help but doubt if Kianna said those things without any intention. They say that if you are close to someone, you should tell them things about yourself or even the things you are interested in for your bond to grow. However that saying also goes with the part that if you talk about someone when you are with another person, they may find jealousy in your actions,.. 'Did she do that to make me feel jealous? ' He thought to himself. His friend Nikolai is talking to him, but his words are passing through his ear to one another. "Francis, are you listening?" He looked at him with a plain look. His arms are resting in the back of his chair as he bends to face his friend
The television turned off as Drake pushed the power button and put down the remote. โThe food is ready! โ "Yes, love, Iโm coming. Woah, that smells nice.โ โSee? I told you I could cook a dish, but... It is nothing compared to what your food tastes like.โ The delicious aroma of my recipe filled the air. โI will still find your food the most delicious among anything else.โ Drake hugs me from the back as I turn off the stove. Yes, I am now living with him. โYou know what? We should celebrate." He mumbled and whispered it into my ears. "Yes, everything goes according to our plan.โ โIt was you who thought of it; that is why it is effective. โ โBut it wouldnโt work without you, Drake," he said, brushing his nose into my cheeks. He is still courting me, and I am planning to answer him the exact same day as I answered him back then. I hope he proposes to me the same day he did before. Isnโt it amazing and wonderful that it did happen? The plan I created happened just as I wanted it t
โSo what you mean to say is, he is someone connected to me?โ โYes, I thinkโฆ we shouldnโt talk about this on phoneโ โShaun, send me the locationโ โSure. See youโ I put down the phone and look at Serena who was sleeping in my bed. After we ate food that we made ourselves, she lay there and play some games on her phone and yesโฆ she now sleeping soundly. I donโt know what I should do about the maid who put a poison in my drinks.. if I havenโt stop Serena from drinking itโฆ who knows what is bound to happen. I shake my head and took a deep sigh. Holding a usb drive in my hand, I clench it and smirk. Who would have thought that all this years I never use my mind for my sake. I went out of my room silently. Trying to not make any sound that can wake Serena up. I texted her to let her know where I am. With that, just like a feather falling in the water, I make no sound nor ripple as I go. This time, I will make things right. *** โWhat? That thing happened? Dare who?โ โA old maid wh
โWhy are you pushing yourself like this? Thought you hate doing works? Even a sketch of a dress was a big hassle for youโฆ but now look at your room Kianna. It is full of this messโฆโ Serena just put her palm in her face as she was tired of picking up tons of papers scattered in my room. What am I doing? I am investigating Marco. Drake seems to be wary of him and regarding what happened in the pastโฆ when I came back and tried to redo thingsโฆ I now notice that something seems odd. There are relationships about this future and the past I recreate. People who is not suppose to meet each other met because I change the flow of things. Thenโฆ if people will still meet I they are meant to meet each other. People who are meant to die will dieโฆ just like Rocco. People who arenโt meant to die will be saved just like Exequiel. Why? Because his death was because of me. It has connection about my actions. With that saidโฆ even if I didnโt do anything nowโฆ even if I escape my first deathโฆ I will s
I want to ask what is happening but then I realized that it is not the right time to feed my curiosity. I look around as I sit in the chair that Drake pulled for me. He sat beside me and wear his usual smile. โThis place is niceโฆ isnโt it?โ โYeah, it sure is.โ I look at the corner and saw different shells that serves as a wall decoration. I can see that this restaurant is a buffet but it feels like it is a seafood bar. There is stool and a bar seat on where you can get cocktails. Maybe it really is a seafood bar but the twist it is a eat all you can buffet. How niceโฆ โWe will go get some food now, โ โI heard their specialty is the cheesy baked oysters. I want to try some of it.โ โI think I will choose the buttered shrimp" โThe lobster monster is also a good pick. That is too big for me to handle on my own, baby share it with me okay?โ โSure sure, if that makes you happy" โCoughโฆ ehemโฆ um.. babe, would you want to share a love-ster too?โ โYou know what Warren? You know
We head in the direction of the stadium. While the others is asking about the things that are needed for us to start fishing, I and the others who is left wander around the big and wide fishing area. It was so massive that makes me feel that the depth of this area is un imaginable. Thankfully, there is a fence pole that serve as safety measures. It also contain different boards who says where that certain fishes are abundant. Milk fish? I never saw one of that kind I wonder if that fish is big as the book about it says. I look at the water who have different rocks and somehow visible water. โBut, I canโt see it clearlyโฆโ I can barely see those fishes, maybe I can get near it to have a good view? Hmmโฆ looking around, I saw that everyone is busy. Some are looking at the fishing rod they would use, some are looking at the instructions and some are already fishing. There is no board saying you canโt enter the fence, its height is also small that it is barely reaching my legs. Just a
โKianna, I know we just met again after a long while butโฆ would you like to go out with me?โ โSilly, do you think we are still children to go out and get to know each other?โ โBut I donโt want to make things fastโฆโ I smiled, is that why he ask me first to be his girlfriend? I remember that our first date was also the first time we met since I travel in the past. He treated me dinner back then. I wipe my tears as I turn my back at him. Smiling as I face Drake, he give me his genuine smile. โYes, letโs dateโ The group date that was suppose to be me and Scott hanging out since we donโt have any relationship or sort turns out to me one of the memories that I will build with Drake. I canโt help but feel happy. He is like a medicine in my sickness. When he is around I always feel comfortable. He really is my comfort zone. โDrakeโฆ why didnโt you greet me when I graduated. You was there, right?โ He was startled for a short while. So he is indeed there. That happened in the past I
โSister beautifuw wady? You are here too?โ I saw the son of Drake hugging the turtle designed neck pillow. I bend my knee a little just so I can face him comfortably. I hate it when I look down to someone, even if it is a child. โHello Mavrick~ why are you here?โ โDada bring me here~" He said while hugging the turtle neck pillow. It looks like he really like it. I pat his head and smiled. Iโll buy this for him. Butโฆ wait, he said thatโฆ Dada? He meanโฆ Drake? So they went hereโฆ is that so? I feel sad. Not that much but, I still miss Drake. I donโt want to be a burden in their life. Drake is happy now with his own family. He have a sweet little kid and a wifeโฆ that isnโt me. I smiled bitterly. โWosh" Mavrick mumbles as he let the turtle touch my nose. Did I just zone out? โWhatโs with that?โ โMr. Turtwe wiw wosh bad bad" I giggled. How cute!!!!! โThank you Mavrick~ โMavrick? Ow, there you are. You shouldnโt run and leave like that.โ โDada!โ As soon as I heard his voic
As what Patrish said, we had a group date. Thankfully, Scott agreed since he is not busy. My parents let me since the culprit of that incident was caught. I thought it was Francis who shot the painting causing the vase to shatter. My conclusion is wrong. I had a hint about that since I saw a bullet hole in the wall glass of that building. Before I fell out of my consciousness, I thought it is just my memories who created that. Turns out it is right. Now, I find it odd since, the day I diedโฆ I saw him holding a gun. That is why I thought that it is him who is the reason of my death. I hurt his fiancรฉ and that is the thing he respond. Killing me with my own hands. If that is the conclusion that the police saidโฆ thenโฆ. Does that mean it isnโt Francis who killed me? Did I think wrong about him? If it really isnโt himโฆ then who? โKianna, letโs go?โ โAhโฆ sure.โ Scott drive me to our destination. While on our wayโฆ โWhy are you still single?โ โBecause I choose to be?โ he answered c
โKianna?โ he utter in surprise. I canโt say any more words as I feel different emotions flowing in my heart. I want to hug himโฆ and tell him how much I miss him. I want to kiss him and tell him how much I love him. I want to put my hands cupping his cheeks and ask him if he missed me. I want to feel his embrace that is telling me I am safe in his arms. Yetโฆ I canโt say anything. My head turns blank and my voice wonโt work. I went here not exactly hoping to see him yetโฆ here I amโฆ standing in front of the man who I am looking for. Here right in front of meโฆ is the man who treated me as his princess who he wanted to be his queen. โKiannaโฆ? Umโฆ I donโt know what to say. It is nice meeting you!โ I replied with a smile. Kiannaโฆ wake up! Say something! Youโฆ have toโฆ answerโฆ โYeahโฆ it isโฆ nice meeting yo-uโ Did I stutter? Ahhh why do I feel as if I am a teenager who was meeting his crush for the first time!!
