Chapter 61 – Lance My day went on pretty smoothly which was already expected from my point of view and you know what romantic people say, you are blooming when you are in love. I’ve heard that phrase probably a lot of times before, from my workmates to my classmates in college to even random customers that go to the acoustic bars that I perform at and I just don’t know if it was true to life or that it was just a usual saying to exaggerate things. To be fair, I haven’t seen it myself and I honestly really thought it was just some random phrase taken off of a page of a romantic novel. I guess I’m in love now because everyone noticed how I was just filled with bright energy. I don’t see it myself but they’re seeing it and that’s more than enough of a proof. When I got to Fidelitea, my crewmates, Frank and the rest, even the manager, they all asked me if I’m in love or that if I had a really good sex last night because they noticed the apparent glow and the different energy that I’m res

Chapter 63 – Jayler “What?” Pretending as if I didn’t hear what my dad had uttered, I continued shoving waffles into my mouth. I’m already shaking deep inside and I don’t want to show him that I’m extremely guilty of what he’s accusing me of. I don’t even know who told him that I was out last Saturday night. I’m pretty confident that my sister didn’t rat me out and Lala, she might be the culprit. However, I don’t think she wants to be that person and she’s been trying to stay out of the family drama so I don’t believe she’s the one who told my dad about it. “A little birdy told me that you were out last Saturday night.” Dad went on and I could tell he was trying to keep his voice controlled to a much lower level as compared to his usual shouting tone. It’s the first time that he wasn’t shouting but I could clearly discern the anger gritting in his tone. I’m sure he’s only talking like this because he doesn’t want the tension with my mom to erupt all of a sudden. I kept my mouth shut

Chapter 65 – Lance Yhannie and I had a surprising catching up and quite shockingly, I didn’t know that the restaurant where we met each other was owned by none other than one of our groom-to-be, Valentine Grande. That’s probably the reason why the name of the restaurant sounded very much familiar to my ears when I first heard it. It felt like I’ve heard it from somewhere else before even I’m very much aware of the fact that I have never been to that place. It turned out that it’s Valentine’s restaurant that’s why it’s called the Grande restaurant. It’s pretty obvious but to be fair, I have been disconnected with them, with everyone from my high school in several years. I don’t even know anyone way back in high school because I tried to block everyone from that era. I’m so bitter that I distanced myself away from them and tried not to reconnect with anyone from that point in time. I have seen a few of them visit the bar every once and a while but I never go out my way just to meet them

Chapter 67 – Jayler I am not really expecting for something grand when Lance asked me out today. In fact, I wasn’t expecting him to ask me out at all. I thought he’s busy with his part time job at the café and while he already told me today’s his free day, I still know he has an upcoming gig later tonight. Needless to say, I still want to see him again and I have a higher expectation that seeing him would surely make my day better. I’m sure it would. I just started my day with my parents fighting right in front of me and my sister, almost disrespecting everything, the food, the things that they preach. And while I didn’t necessarily have a bad day at school, it was plainly the same old boring school stuff and it was just the usual routine and nothing exciting that would take my mind off to somewhere else happened. I still feel sad and horrible. I don’t even want to go home because I’m unsure of what to expect. Are mom and dad still fighting? Are they still mad at each other for what

Chapter 69 – Lance I wasn’t expecting the rest of the coming days for me to have a somewhat hectic schedule, not that I manifested it but I became busy. My usual routine before was just to go to my part time job at Fidelitea and serve some teas and coffees, and then after that I group up with my bandmates for our usual nightly gig. That was how my life went for the past five years and it’s basically stagnant ever since and it was never the progressive type of adult life. Everyone who thought I was going to be the most likely to succeed right after high school and college were all dead-ass wrong with that and I guess that’s one of the main reasons why I didn’t want to meet a lot of people from my past. The reality is that I don’t really have any plans on making any efforts to better my life and that was just it. Or at least that’s just how I was thinking, the mind set was very negative and nonprogressive then I suddenly remembered most of the conversations that I had with Yhannie. I kn
