“U-uhmm, are you going home now?” Heaven asked me as we’re now walking outside the restaurant. We are actually done with our dinner and it takes almost one hour for us to finish because my friends, can’t stop talking about many kinds of stuff with Heaven and I just let them. Laurene and I just talk to each other because it seems that we’re not existing and look not we’re not with them as they are busy chit-chatting Heaven. The heck. Speaking of that--it does not give me time to talk to Heaven about some important matters, especially what I wanted to say to him. But I think, I’ll just say it to him about our dinner and why my friends were with me at our dinner. Ugh! I feel now that I am becoming guilty because of what I did. Ugh! Damn! “So what about you, Lola? Are you going with us now?” it caught my attention when I heard Laurene asking me. Talking about this--I didn’t notice that we are now here in the parking area and my friends are now getting inside the car that we use going

Throwing those thoughts, I take a look at him again and I noticed that this time, his expression became serious. He stared at me for a moment, making us surrounds a silence. It seems he was reading me, if what was on my mind as his eyes were on me--meeting our eyes to each other. As I feel uncomfortable at this moment, I sighed and tried to chuckle. I was intent to open my mouth to continue what I will say also. Ugh! I don’t know but I feel awkward as he was in front of me. Maybe because I am not used to it and my androphobia is a bit attacking me. Yes, it is because just of what happened in my past--about what Kade did to me. But with Heaven’s case, I know this is just the first time that we’re in this situation. Particularly, there’s something that makes me feel a bit uneasy about what he will really say and his looks toward me. Ugh! I just don’t know. I always feel it every time I was with Heaven alone. And talking about him--I can’t deny that he is handsome. His black sleeves

I stepped out of the car as we passed through the gate of the house. Heaven opened the door for me, graciously allowing me to exit first before he got out of the driver's seat. Once he was out, he closed the door, and I turned to face him, finding that he had done the same. "Thank you, Heaven, for dinner and for taking me home..." I briefly lowered my head, then looked up at him with a smile. With his hands tucked into his pants, he responded, "You're welcome," a radiant smile spreading across his lips. For a moment, silence enveloped us, and we stood there, neither of us uttering a word. Suddenly, I noticed him exhale deeply, the warmth of his breath reaching me. Breaking the silence between us, I spoke up, "Anyway, I'll go inside now." he simply nodded in response, and I pressed my lips together. Just as I was about to turn away, I caught a glimpse of him trying to say something, his mouth slightly open. "Lola..." he called out suddenly, our eyes meeting in that instant. "Yes?" I

"I want you to take me there! There's a beach over there!" Tyler said excitedly as I brought him to a park next to a large mall, surrounded by towering infrastructures.I wanted to take him to the playground, but he refused. He preferred to relax by the bay walk and breathe in the fresh air. He said he would just get tired of playing, and he claimed he was too old for toys and games.I sighed at his actions because it seemed like he was more mature than me. Earlier, we almost argued about the playground and his preferences. Damn!"Let's sit here, Adam! The view here is beautiful!" he had a trace of joy on his face as he looked at the view in front of us."Why do you want to come here and not listen to my suggestion? It's fun to play..." I tried to persuade him, but he suddenly turned to me, giving me a blank look.Then he spoke, "Aren't you happy that we're resting? You've been chasing me around because of my playfulness. Think about it now, Adam..." he immediately returned his gaze to

Lola ValderramaWe walked quietly and peacefully towards the bench by the bay walk. We were walking together, but neither of us spoke. Suddenly, I found myself sitting there, next to Adam, with Tyler seated on his left side.I felt like I had become mute, unsure of how to start a conversation with him. It was as if my tongue had become paralyzed, and my mind refused to function.Ugh! What's happening to me? I don't want this uncomfortable moment between us."So, why did you bring me here?" he asked, his voice deep and calm. His words caught me off guard.I glanced at him briefly as he continued speaking."I-I mean, why are you here alone? Don't you have friends? Aren't they with you?" I quickly averted my gaze from him as our eyes briefly met. I focused my attention on something else.Shocks! What's going on with me?!"U-uhm, I just accompanied Laurene here to buy a dress and stuff for the event this coming Sunday," I stuttered. I paused for a moment, then continued."Then suddenly, I
