Evan had lost track of how long it has been since he and Angel parted ways and it never crossed his mind to bump with her again."So, how did the two of you know each other?"Mr. Jonson asked."Hmm,"Angel gazes at Evan, asking if she can tell that they are exes."We're classmates in high school, Dad.""That's good to know then."Their conversation was interrupted as the waiter put on the food on the table. Evan gazes at his wristwatch to check the time. The meeting might get longer than he planned it would be. He wonders if Bea already awakened."I was speaking with your Mom the other day and she mentioned that you are still single, architect. Is that true?"Mr. Jonson asked as they were having their meal. Evan tries to hide his embarrassment from laughing. Why does her mom always sell him? Those things should have been kept private!"If that's the case, Angel, my daughter is also single. Update me if you want to try. You two would surely click."Mr. Jonson added which made the two o
Bea was feeling exhausted from walking for hours, therefore, she decided to take a break and rested under a tree. She had been looking for an apartment to live in for about almost three days. She realizes that she is running out of money due to her pricey hotel stay and renting an apartment or a condo unit would be a better option to save up. However, none of those she checked passed her standards. Some of them had a lot of stinky cat poop next to the building and some have noisy tenants which makes her feel uncomfortable."I never thought it would be this hard to find an apartment."She complained as she drank a bottle of water. She is sensitive to a lot of things and having a place to stay where she could properly be relaxed would be her priority. Why settle for less just to save money if your health or life is at risk because of its unsanitary ambiance.Bea continued her search and went to her last stop, and if she will not still get satisfied with it, she would then just continue
"I'm leaving."Bea took a step away from Evan. He was too close, causing her to feel uneasy. She pulled out her suitcase but halted when someone rang the doorbell. She looked at Evan with a questioning look."Who's that?"Bea felt nervous for no apparent reason. Evan shrugged and walked to open the door but Bea immediately tugged the hem of his shirt. They heard the doorbell ring again."Evan, it's your mom, open the door.""Mom?""Who? Your Mom? Where should I hide?"She roamed her eyes around looking for a place to hide. No one should know that she is at his place as it may cause misunderstanding."No one should know that I'm here!""Evan, open the door!"Evan's mom pressed the doorbell over and over again, making Bea panic even more. Bea gazed upstairs and saw the door she entered a while ago. Without any ado, she ran down the stairs like a lightning."Mom, what are you doing here unannounced?"Evan asked when he opened the door but she ignored him and went straight inside."What t
Bea was awakened when she felt herself being lifted by someone and placed on the couch. As she opened her eyes, Evan's puffy eye's met hers. His face is too close as if it was a dream. He looks like an angel who came to save her."Sorry, Did I wake you up?"His baritone voice was soothing. Bea promptly sat up upon realization that Evan was the angel she was talking about. It is not a dream! Because of her immediate movement, their heads collide."Ah!"They both whimpered in unison and caresses their heads."Your head is a stone."Evan commented."Sorry. "She apologized to him and innocently placed her right hand and caresses the part he got hurt. She thought doing so would ease his pain but when their gazes met, Bea was taken aback by reality. She immediately removed her hands from his head and fixed her posture. That was awkward."Uhm..."trying to look for words to say.Her gazes went to the wall clock."It's already five-thirty in the morning, you just got home?"She asked. She's
Bea had trouble sleeping after what she had witnessed. Her curiosity is killing her. Who is she? Why are they together? She even rode in his car. Where did they go? She should have just not left the place and followed him yesterday.Therefore, Bea decided to spend her day as his stalker. She woke up earlier than him despite the fact that she didn't have a good sleep. Well, girls will always be girls, who can't sleep not until their curiosity were fed."You're leaving?"Evan was surprised when Bea spoke from behind. He noticed that she is also dressed like him."Yeah. You're up early, going somewhere?"Bea is usually still asleep at this hour because he always checks on her before leaving."Where are you going?"It's Bea."Work.""It's too early for work. Are you working in a call center?""No. I have a business meeting scheduled for six in the morning."Bea raised her right eyebrow at him. Business meeting huh! For her, those are just lame excuses guys made up to hide their true color
Evan's right hand is playing with his pen and making circular motions whilst he is busy reading some documents. He always does that whenever he is too immersed with work, no one dares to interrupt. He usually had a hectic schedule but ever since his sister was engaged, makes it even worst. Leaving him no time for leisure, but he doesn't see it as a burden. Evan is a man who is truly devoted and enjoys working. He got up from his seat after checking his wristwatch, time for the monthly meeting with the board members."Evan!"Simon, suddenly barged into his office, unannounced just as when he is putting on his suit coat."What are you doing here?"His friend confidently sat on the couch as he took on the magazine book placed on the table. "Want to hang out later?"Simon asked as he flipped on the page and then gazed at him. "I'm busy. I still have a meeting to attend. Aren't you should be on-duty in the hospital right now?"Simon came from a family of doctors and their hospitals are
Bea went down to put the garbage outside. She was shocked and confused at the same time upon seeing Anna, not sure if she got the name right, throwing garbage as well. It would be rude for her not to say hi, since Evan seemed to know her. She tried to pry him about her but Evan only said that their families are good friends."Hi."Bea smiled and waved her right hand at her hoping that they can be friends. Why not? She's done isolating herself, she needed new friends too. Their first meeting may not be good but maybe they can click. But to her dismay, Anna rolled her eyes at her and throws the garbage with annoyance. Instead of receiving a smile from her, she receives death glares. "I thought I am smelling something very awful today, and I was right. Someone reeks like garbage. Yucks! I should report this to the admin, how could they let some filthy strangers roam around the building?"Anna stated with disgust as she gazed at her. Bea knows she's trying to pick at her. "The trash ca
"We are here!"Simon unbuckled his seatbelt and went out of the car. After minutes of driving, they finally arrived at My Home, which is a shelter for orphans. Every month, Simon usually visits the children to check their health for free. If there is something he loves about his profession is that he is able to help the children for free. "Let's go?"Bea walks next to him as they enter the premises. "Simon!"A nun rushingly ran towards them and greeted him with a hug."Mother Esther.""How have you been?"The nun examined Simon from head to toe, like a mother checking her own son. "I'm fine, Mother Esther. I should be the one asking you. You seemed to have lost weight""Did I lose weight?"The nun examined herself placing both palms to her cheeks but Simon chuckled. Bea feels like she had seen the nun somewhere before."I was just teasing you. By the way, I brought someone with me."Simon holds Bea in her arms. The nun turned her gaze at her and smiled. Bea was too stunned to speak
