My hand was in my pocket, the other was holding the thin sling of the bag as I looked back and forth at the floor and at the closed door of Sage's room.I felt uneasy as I waited for him to come out. It was only recently that I had the courage to do those things to him. But now that I'm in the right state of mind, I realized I was too careless with my words and actions.The door clicked. I looked up at the door. At the same time was the release of Sage. He's now wearing a gray shirt. It looks like she has a lot of clothes here. Well, it's his family's mansion. That's natural so I shouldn't be surprised.He gestured me to walk first, and so I did. Even in the back I could still smell his scent. Or maybe I was too struck with it a while ago that it didn't left my senses until now."I'm sorry for the accident. I'll be more careful next time," he said as we walked down the stairs."Don't be sorry for something that's not your fault. You didn't want wha

"Let's enroll together on Monday, ha! I said goodbye to Mama so you can take time off from work that day!" said Rose when she visited me at the coffee shop after telling me about a man she met on a dating app."Are you sure Tita is okay?""Yes!"I nodded and smiled. "Thank you ...""Sage will pick you up today?""Yes why?""I hope all the lovelife is abundant, what?" She laughed. I was shaken."Because I would have taken you to the mall, eh! You know, like we always do. You can bring your boyfie and then I'll bring a boylet for happy–""I do not have a boyfriend."He smirked. "It's ungrateful, oh! Just your baby boy Mongreco!""Stop it, Rose!"He laughed. "Okay, fine! Your poging driver. Okay?""I'm not his driver either." That term doesn't suit him."E, what? Your wife, girl? Is also the height of the dream!" she joked and sipped on her milkshake. Her eyes rolled. I just chuckled.

"Oh, is that your face? You have a period, girl?" said Rose and took my arm. She looked around. "Brenda said your baby boy is here. Where is he — oh, he's there!"I lowered his hand to point at Sage. I pulled her towards Brenda."Why is there a woman with that? Wait, it's Lorie, isn't it? Your guest from the Education Department?""Yes, that's him.""Hey, why did you leave? I'm sure he's flirting with Sage, Kaia! Yard your man properly! Don't let that slut steal something from you!""There's nothing to steal, Rose. What do I care if Lorie flirts with her? She seems to love it so they'll take care of it," I said bitterly. I almost struggled with annoyance."Why are you late, Benita Rose ?!" said Brenda as we approached her. She was talking with a boy earlier. He also moved away as soon as he saw us approaching."I even bought drinks! I brought brandys and whiskeys! They were in the car. Those are my gifts to you because we're goi

"The heat! Can't we just insert in the queue? There are a lot of people who like you there so I'm sure they'll let us go first," Rose said while shrugging herself with her hand. I can't count how many times he struggled."That's not possible, what are you. Maybe before we can enroll the women in the back will pick us up."Rose just kept on renting. Many were the first to get the priority number because it took us a while to arrive. Brenda namana is supposed to enroll on the second day. He still seems to have a walk today.It was past twelve when we finished there. He almost got into a fight because a woman bumped into him and he almost fell down. Fortunately, I stopped. Rose really has a bad temper especially and she just came from a long wait."Will you eat?" Kenneth asked."Yes. Don't come along," Rose said once dragging me off campus. I turned to Kenneth and found him shaking. I mouthed, 'sorry' and he just nodded. Two men approached him so I fa

Sage brought me to their table. Lorie was nowhere to be found. Only his friend is left. Sage offered me the seat next to him, so there I sat. Jonas faked a cough that made my cheeks burned. With his swearing earlier I’m sure he saw what happened."Kaia, aren't you singing?" Livius turned to me. I felt Sage's hand touching my shoulder. His arm was on the ledge of my chair. It was like putting lines on his territory.Jonas playfully smirked."Maybe later ..." he glanced at Mama who was karaoke. I don't want to ruin their moment. Besides, I think I like it better ..."You want us to duet? I'm good!" Livius suggested that made Sage hissed."Silly! There might be an earthquake when you sing!" bara ni Jonas na natatawa."I'm ashamed of you! You're good at singing, huh? That's why when you locked up that Crim student, you were ignored! You were so stupid!""She has a boyfriend, idiot! So she doesn't touch me because she's loyal to her
