Semua Bab EVAN: Bab 41 - Bab 50

~Evan~She keeps on concealing the freckles on the slope of her nose, the tawny little mole on her lower lip. These imperfections make her perfect in my eyes.If only she sees what I see.I can admire these flaws in her sleep. Having her in my arms at night chased away my nightmares. She doesn’t know this, but she’s the first girl I ever asked to be my girlfriend. I was hesitant about asking her. I know the media painted a picture of me as the epitome of a womanizer. It dawned on me that she might say no and have our relationship as casual as the one we had on the island. People who know me might not believe this, but I’m willing to accept whatever she can give. Just as long as I can have her - even if it’s just a part of her.“Stop staring

~Evan~Cali was acting as if nothing happened yesterday. I am also acting as if I have no knowledge about what she planned with that dinner last night.“Got any plans today?” We’re having breakfast on the patio behind my place. She loves moving around the kitchen more than me. I do have to cook for myself if I want to live longer because I’ve been living on my own since I was sixteen. She gave life to my mechanical way of surviving.“I have to drop by the office and I’m free after that,” she said, sipping her coffee. “You?”It’s nice to have someone who’s curious about my plans for the day and also ask me how my day was when I got home.Is this what Devin has w

~Cali~ “Why isn’t he waking up yet?” I paced Evan’s room, biting my nails, while Ren’s jade eyes followed every movement I made. Breaths of frustration flourished in profusion from my sister. She gave up on telling me to relax and now I want to hear her tell me to settle down. It’s been an entire twenty-four hours and Evan hasn’t opened his eyes yet. I couldn’t close my eyes, even if my body was already screaming for some rest and a wink of sleep. That is why Ren had to show up here, to convince me to go home. But I’m not leaving this place, not without Evan. “Why aren’t you ordering me to calm down?” I grumbled, annoyed that she just sat there in the lounge with a cooking magazine - Jamie Oliver’s face smiling on the co

~Cali~My boyfriend is insatiable and stubborn.His wheelchair that’s supposed to be his ride all over the house is gathering dust in the garage. Two days into his house arrest, the poor nurse sent by Olivia to watch over him quit without further explanation.While I am in the office, Evan called me a few times, whining about how his nurse is making him sit all day. Resting is a word he knows nothing about, all he recognizes is the contrast of it. It’s understandable though, the man is a machine who doesn’t know the meaning of vacation.Even when we are still on the island, he barely sleeps. If he’s not taking care of me, he’d be working on something, anything.“I will pick you up later,&rd

~Cali~ Through the drive back to Evan’s place, confusing thoughts filled my mind. It was never a question of ‘should’ I tell him or not, but ‘when’. With everything that has happened in the last couple of weeks, this will only add up to the stress that’s building around him. The accident at the Brooklyn site resulted in doubts within and outside the company, this is what I heard from one of our directors. Gossips are going around that Magnus Construction couldn’t handle such a huge project. This bad publicity is already pushing a few clients to pull out their contracts. I caught Evan’s silhouette in the kitchen as I stepped inside the cabin. He’s sitting in the dark, one thing he does when he’s in deep thoughts. I guess talking about tonight is unavoidable. From the stiff form of his shoulder, he knows what happe
