I could feel his warm breath on my face, and waited but his lips never reached mine. I could then feel his absence, so I opened my eyes and I was right. He was gone. Moments after, he came out of his room, this time fully clothed. You can't blame me for being a bit disappointed with that.  "I'll just get the food from the lobby." he said to me before heading out the door. As soon as he left, my knees buckled from under me and I collapsed on the floor. Gosh, does he even know how much effect he has on me? I can't believe I'm really falling for him. I went and waited for him on the couch as my heart started beating at a normal pace. I grabbed my phone from my bag to send a message to Zab. Got caught in the storm. I'll be home late. Just order some food. Let Charlie stay the night if you want. I'll see you when I get home. I stood up, looking around, trying to search for the air conditioner because I feel a lot colder than usual and

Focusing on doing your work is hard enough without your co-workers constantly stealing glances at you. I could hear all of them talking in hushed tones when my face was buried in my screen, but the moment I lift my head up, all of them would stop and pretend to be doing something else. "Let's have lunch." Andrea suddenly appeared behind my cubicle. These are the times that I'm absolutely grateful that I'm working at the same company as my best friend. I nodded at her and saved all my files before following her to the elevators. We got in the elevator and thankfully, we were the only two riding it down. "You sure you can make it through the rest of the day?" She asked as soon as the doors closed in. "I think so. No memo from the admin yet. I don't know if it's a good sign. I'm just worried about how Gavin's doing." I confessed to her and my surprise, she actually smiled at me, for the first time today. "You're having a hard time yourself, but

My mom did as she promised and immediately sent the details to me the very next morning. I know it was a rushed decision, but that was the only way I can think of. Another week passed and it was the day of the engagement meeting and me and my sister will be attending it.  The meeting was set for lunch so, I spend the whole morning with Zab as we fixed each other's hair and make-up and put on the outfits that we agreed on wearing. And before we know it, we were now, in front of the gate of our family home, where it will be held. The gates slowly opened and I can't help but feel a bit jittery and nervous because of what was about to happen. "Are you sure you want to do this, Zoe?" She asked me for the hundredth time since I told her my plan the next morning after my late-night call with our mom. "I'm sure." I said to her and drove into our estate.  It feels a bit weird standing in front of the house I grew up in and left just a couple of years

I was right, it was a strange meal. Gavin was silent the whole time as Gabby placed Grayson in a full-on interrogation. Grayson on the other hand is seemingly answering her questions with gusto and I hate him for doing that. "I'll make sure that you'll hear from HR as soon as possible." Gavin said to me before walking away towards his car. "Jealousy doesn't look good on him." Gabby said, rolling her eyes at her brother. "Anyway, it was nice meeting you, Grayson. Hope to see you soon. And Cath, make sure to call me, okay?" I nodded at her. "Yeah! Yeah! Your brother is waiting for you." I said to her, shooing her away. "I better get going, he's a bit in a bad mood, I guess." She said as she ran off to her brother's car. "So, you're telling me that you don't know if that guy likes you." Grayson said as soon as we were left alone. I looked at him, confused about what he was saying. He let out a deep chuckle and then ruffled my hair before

The song started and I couldn't believe his choice of song. It was a love song, more appropriately, a confession song. I knew this because it was the same song I sang for my first crush, Caleb when we were in high school. It's been a while since I heard this song. Gosh, the nostalgia. Our attention was then all focused on Gavin as we waited for the first verse to start. And when it did, my jaw almost hit the floor. And I wasn't the only one, I looked around and saw that everybody, except Gabby, was in awe as Gavin continued singing. His deep voice was so smooth that he can pull off the song so well, even the high notes. He sang with so much emotion that I can't help but be carried away by his singing. It makes me think that he means every word and that he's really confessing his feelings to someone, right at that moment. I couldn't take my eyes off of him and when he reached the bridge of the song, my eyes caught his. He held my gaze as he continued singing,
