Emily watched her toes dancing to a tune audible to just her, a sigh immediately escaping her lips. She was home alone and had absolutely nothing to do. Thus, left with the task of entertaining herself with literally anything she could think of.Her legs were stretched in front of her, her thoughts continuously roaming about. Luckily though, she was able to think of things other than Giovanni, her thoughts focusing on Tyler and August for a while. The mere thought made her giggle as she wondered what could have happened between them. As much as she no longer wanted to associative with anything related to Giovanni, August seemed like a decent person so she had decided to make him that little exception. And for that to happen, she was going to need him to get along with Tyler well. Smacking her lips together, she recollected his face and how desperate he looked to get Tyler’s forgiveness. It only struck a nerve of curiosity in her and immediately allowing it take over, she reached

August received text messages every single day. From work related messages, new schedules and reservations confirmed through texts, random messages from his few friends and acquaintances- 90% of the times his phone vibrated in his pocket, it was to signal a text. So it wasn’t strange when he picked up his phone to check what text message he had received. But much to his great surprise, it was a text from no one but Tyler, asking them to meet up. Giddy was an understatement for how he felt, his whole body suddenly at alert. Why did he suddenly want to see him and talk to him? The possibilities were literally endless and he allowed his mind roam freely, taking even the wildest guesses. In a rush, he ran to his room from his living room and immediately began to ransack his closet in search of what to wear. Since it was just a random meeting, he couldn’t show up looking overdressed. But at the same time, he couldn’t show up looking underdressed. “Casual? Formal? Sporty?” He could s

For some reason, Tyler felt his heart sink as he read the the name flashing on August’s phone screen.Babe? His babe was calling him? He had a babe? He had a boyfriend all these while?He shook his head, trying to remind himself he had no reason to feel funny about it. Whether he was dating someone or not was none of his business so he had no reason to be worked up about it.It was absolutely none of his business.“What did you say?” August finally walked back into the living room, a glass of water in his hand. “I heard you call my name.”“Yeah,” Tyler mumbled, stretching his arm to hand the phone over to him. “You had a call.”“Who is it?” August dropped the glass on the table to take his phone from Tyler. “Was it work?” “Didn’t seem like it,” Tyler looked away from him as he handed the phone over to him. “It’s your partner.” “My partner?” “Your babe,” Tyler had to fight the urge to roll his eyes. “Your boyfriend, I guess.” “What?” August exclaimed, quickly collecting the phone

It was another day of Giovanni skipping work and he was spending it at home, staring at his laptop as he browsed the web.He had been on it for hours, navigating different sites as he looked for the answer to one singular question he had- ways to impress a lady and get her to forgive you.90% of the sites he visited suggested the same thing, getting her tons of gifts. He could do that but instead, needed something else in addition to the gifts. And that little addition was exactly what he was yet to find out.With a sigh, he decided to at least act on the information he had already and that was to get her gifts to show his sincerity. As quickly as he could, he got freshened up and stepped out of the house, his card and car keys in his hand. His destination was a mall close to her school. That way he could get all the things he wanted and then, go straight to her school to have them delivered to her in person. He got to the mall in no time and immediately hit the female category, his

Finally at home, Emily stared at the pile of gifts in front of her, contemplating what to do with them. She could toss them all in the garbage but it would mean two things- one, she had accepted them from him and two, she was wasting so much money. It didn’t make any sense to her. What she wanted was him tending a proper apology to her not trying to bribe her with so many gifts. She was just going to have to return them to him. It was a two way thing. Either she wrapped them all up had them delivered to his house or she packed them all with her and delivered it herself. A sigh escaped her lips as she decided to gently go through the bags to at least take a peek of the things he got her. Gently opened the packages, she could spot bags, clothes and even shoes. And suddenly inside the bouquet of flower, she caught sight of a card. She immediately picked it out of the flowers and stared at it for a while before opening. It was cream colored with red ribbons hanging around it loosely t
