CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Laura's P.O.V I removed my face from the mirror and continued singing and dancing from happiness and excitement. I went to my wardrobe and opened it wide. I saw a plethora of dresses there and felt confused because of the many choices. After much contemplation and checking, I finally decided which one to wear. I opted for a short yellow romper with a white jacket. I went to my bathroom and retrieved my toothbrush from the cabinet. I also got the toothpaste and applied a generous amount to my brush while humming Boulevard by Rema. I scooped some water from the tap into my mouth and rinsed. Grabbing a nearby towel, I wiped my mouth. As I undressed, I kept humming tunes that seemed unfamiliar but still kept coming to mind. I then turned on the faucet and let the water trail over my body. Ah! so refreshing. *** Fortunately, only my Mom and Dad were eating breakfast. I was happy because it was the first time I managed to get to dinner early. "Morning," I greeted as I sat down on th

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Kelvin's P.O.V "Seriously, Mom?" I asked as she placed a white towel on my burning head. "Wow," I whimpered as I felt the cold towel on my head. I tried to take it off, but her glare made me stop. "Don't try to take that off. That's what you get for getting so drunk and getting a fever," she scolded. She brought out a thermometer from the first aid box and shoved it into my mouth. "Wow, that hurt. You should have gently reminded me. I'm not feeling good," I mumbled, the thermometer causing some discomfort. "Just shut up and let the thermometer do its work." After a few minutes, she finally took the thermometer away from my mouth. "Your temperature is high," she said, looking at the thermometer and then back at me. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked. To be honest, I felt so sick, and my headache was intense. Who told me to get drunk, especially drinking vodka? What was I thinking? "Are you ready to tell me why you got drunk and puked like a zillion times after wa

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Kelvin's P.O.V I look like a creep at the moment, but I don't care. I stand still, observing them as they shower each other with attention. They fed each other and shared kisses occasionally. Anika seemed to be the happiest, dragging her boyfriend to the middle of the restaurant dance floor, where they swayed together along with the others. They captured the attention of people around them, who applauded their performance. Nika, in particular, stole the show with her sweet dance moves and after the dance, they returned to their seats, Nika still holding hands with her boyfriend. As the chilly wind brushed against my skin, I sighed and stole one last glance before heading back home. I scolded myself for being foolish. Instead of fixating on a girl who doesn't care about me, I should be taking care of my health and well-being instead of thinking. I walked slowly towards my house, although it felt like hours, in reality, it had only been a few minutes. Suddenly, I noticed a car app

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Kelvin's P.O.V "So, as my friend, would you like to have lunch together and talk about ourselves so we can get to know each other better?" she asked after our handshake. "Sure, why not," I replied, slipping my hands into my jacket pocket. We decided to head to her office since it was quiet and there weren't many people around. As we walked, I wanted to strike up a conversation, so I asked, "Why weren't you around yesterday?" "I woke up late, and I felt bad coming here after I once scolded you for being late," she explained with a soft chuckle. "That's understandable," I replied, nodding in agreement. Arriving at her office, I complimented her sweater, hoping to keep the conversation going. "I like your sweater." "Thank you! My mom gave it to me," she beamed. "It's so pretty. I'd love to meet her someday," I said, trying to be friendly. "You can't. She's dead, and my dad too," she shared, suddenly looking sad. The mood shifted as we entered her office. "Oh, I'm sorry for askin

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
Kelvin's P.O.V "Hmm, would you like to meet Jessica?" I asked, feeling nervous all over, and she nodded, munching on the French fries she had stuffed into her mouth earlier. "Well, you can't," I blurted out. "Why?" she asked, bringing her face closer to mine, perhaps to check if I was lying. My gaze moved closer to her lips. It was hard for me to resist their allure. I felt like kissing them. "Hello," she interrupted my thoughts. "Yes," I replied. "You were about to tell me why I can't meet your Jessica?" She raised an eyebrow. "Right, you can't see Jessica because... she is currently out of town with her boyfriend. I think they traveled to L.A. or something for a vacation," I lied. Why was I used to lying these days? This was not the saintly Kelvin everyone knew. "Okay, that is pretty convincing," she said, and I exhaled. Thank goodness I was able to convince her. "Wow. It must be really hard for you to accept the fact that the girl you love is going out with another person

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Laura's P.O.V "What! We have to kiss?" I exclaimed, my voice raising narrowly as my eyes widened. He was even crazier than I thought. "Well yeah. We've got to make this whole dating thing real. I need her back in my life, and I don't care how far I'll have to go," he said with determination. "Okay, relax. What if I said no? What if I no longer agree to be your 'girlfriend'? What're you gonna do about it?" I asked, crossing my arms, and he scoffed. "Then you'll be fired one more time," He threatened, and I sighed in exasperation. "Really?" I rolled my eyes. I was so tired of this boy, but I had no problem playing along. "Yeah," He smirked. "Okay, how do you know your girlfriend Modey-" "Molly," he corrected. "Yeah, whatever," I said dismissively. "Just get to the point," He told me impatiently. "Okay. Maybe I'll finish talking if you quit interrupting my speech," I retorted. "So, I'm the bad one here, right?" He seethed. "Well yeah," I replied, and he frowned. "Okay. You'r

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Laura's P.O.V Why does he like doing that? I was taken by surprise as he kissed me again. He then broke the kiss after some time and stared into my eyes. "Good night," he said, smiling, but my smile vanished. "Babe? He only calls me that when Molly is around. I was angry, but I shook it off." "Is Molly looking at us from afar?" I whispered, and he nodded. "Good night, baby," I said dramatically, pecking him on the lips and hugging him. I felt surprisingly comfortable. "Should I take you home, darling?" Steven asked dramatically. "Never mind. I brought my car," I said, trying to hug him, but he moved back. "You can stop now. Molly is gone," he said, and I dropped my hands. Ouch… "Why the hell did you kiss me?" I spoke to him, punching his arm. "Oww, I didn't mean to kiss you. I was only trying to get Molly's attention. I did a great job at that," he said, rubbing his punched arm. "You should at least warn me before you do that. I'm not something you can use anytime without

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Laura's P.O.V "Well, I dunno," Lim answered. "You don't know? You're so dumb. You were supposed to follow him when he carried me inside this room and monitor his every step," I said nervously. "I told you I was downstairs arguing with Madison, or should I flashback to that moment so as to-" "No. Don't flash your stupid back," I said. "Well, don’t blame me. It’s your fault, you were sleeping in that cute guy’s arms all day and enjoying his delicious scent, so don’t act like you didn’t like it," Lim smiled. "It isn't funny, Lim. You were supposed to take care of me when I was sleeping and not leave me in the hands of a stranger," I said. “He isn’t a stranger though. You guys are… I don’t know what you guys are, but judging by the fact that he kissed you, I am sure he is nowhere close to being a stranger," he gave me a stupid smile and winked. "That doesn’t justify the fact that you should leave me with him. I haven’t even introduced him to you guys yet, and yes, he is still a str

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Laura's P.O.V I rang the doorbell and pounded on the front door, but there was no response from him. "Open the door, jerk!" I yelled in frustration. "How dare you toy with my emotions?" I shouted again. "Keep it down! I'm trying to sleep," I heard Steven's voice, seemingly coming from my room. No way, that jerk was actually staying there. I hurried to where he parked his car to get a glimpse of him. "Get off my bed and open the door!" I ordered. He appeared at my window with a toothbrush in his mouth. Was he brushing his teeth in my room? and please don't tell me that was the toothbrush he was using. "Whose brush are you using?" I asked, trying to stay calm. "It's yours, of course," he mumbled with toothpaste in his mouth, continuing to brush. "Get your mouth off my brush!" I growled, but he just chuckled. "Relax, you look so ugly when you're mad, and what's the big deal with your brush that I can't use?" He said, his mouth still foamy. I angrily brushed through my hair, f

CHAPTER THIRTY
Laura's P.O.V "I know this may sound unbelievable, but it's true. You're intelligent, blunt, and attractive – the exact girl I want." he paused then continued. "On the first day, we met and engaged in a back-and-forth conversation. I was stunned because no one had ever done that to me before. I asked you to pretend to be my girlfriend to win Molly back, but I never thought I would develop feelings for you along the way, yet I did." "I might be a bit rough around the edges, but I do have a heart, and it's beating for you, Lau," He exhaled deeply as if he had just relieved a burden. Okay... So, do you guys want to know how I reacted? I was in shock, just staring at him like a fool as he kept talking. My brain struggled to process all that information at once. How could he like me? Was he going through some emotional rollercoaster or something? I thought he despised me. "How can you say you like me when I dislike you a lot? You've been so mean to me, and you're not my type," I told
