Patricia“Alright honey, I’ll give the phone to grandpa now, so don’t be shy to read him the poem you wrote for him,” I told Nellana, while making sure the phone didn’t slip from my fingers. I wouldn’t have drunk that much if I knew the wine was that strong.I didn’t enjoy wine much, but I guess I got carried away with pushing my feelings aside after my unintentional confession to Ethan. Although we didn’t talk much after that, there wasn’t any air of awkwardness around us. After my walking in on my conversation with Marcel, he just came closer to me and pulled me out while playfully telling his father off for ‘questioning’ me.I spent most of the day with Stephanie, mostly to avoid Ethan so he wouldn’t have to pretend to be fine with me beside him more times than necessary. Even after all that I still had to stand next to him as we cut the cake and took pictures. His arm was draped around my shoulder the whole time with a huge grin on his face. I almost thought he actually felt at ea

Ethan’s POVWhen she realised I was looking at her, she laughed nervously and tuck a lock of hair behind her ear. “It’s uh…been a while…hasn’t it?”I shrugged, hoping to appear nonchalant. “I guess.”She didn’t say anything as she walked towards the bed, so I spoke up.“I cleaned up a little. This should be okay for you for one night, right?”“It should be,” she repeated, sitting on the bed.I nodded. “Goodnight then.”She frowned and stood up. “Goodnight?”I looked at her in question. “Is there anything else you need?”“Where are you going?”I jerked my thumb over my shoulder. “Guestroom.”Her face fell immediately and she did nothing to hide her disappointment. I looked away and headed out, but she stopped me again. I turned around, surprised I wasn&rsq

Ethan’s POVShe turned her head and opened her eyes. An overwhelming sense of déjà vu took over me as her eyes met mine immediately. I expected her to look confused, so I could feel a little confident, but her calmness drove me even more crazy. “Why are you awake already?”I moved my hand away from her face. “It’s ten o’clock silly.”She raised her brows. “Really?”I nodded. “I was beginning to think you were sick or something. Guess you enjoyed the bed more than you thought you would.” I eyed her, looking for any form of recognition in her eyes.Her eyes darted away from mine for a moment as she pulled herself into a sitting position. Then she smiled and stared at me for a while before saying, “How was your night?”My eyes narrowed. Did she know something? “I feel refreshed this morning,” I decided to say. “So I guess it wa

Patricia's POVHe returned the smile so genuinely and I felt bad. Don’t get me wrong. I held nothing against him. It’s just that we weren’t too close, and I didn’t really want to think about how a conversation with him would be like after what happened with Jessica and me.“How is it that I meet you here of all places?” he asked casually.“Oh, I was just in the area, and decided to stretch out a little bit.”“Alone?”I shook my head. “No, Ethan’s waiting for me in the car.”His brows shot up in interest. “You guys are still…together?”I nodded, slightly clenching my jaws. “I’m guessing you’re aware of our situation.”“Oh.” He suddenly raised his hands up nervously. “I’m not being judgemental, neither do I wish to make you feel bad in any way.”“Oh, I know.

PatriciaI finally got back home at four pm. My hands were full of bags clothing, perfume and obviously romance novels. I liked today. I got to put flowers in Ethan’s hair and I had a nice time with my mum. There was still this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn’t think too much of it. It was normal to have a bad thoughts when things were good for a long while.When I had sorted my bags, I plopped on my bed and called, my dad.“Hey, sunflower,” he greeted cheerfully.I smiled automatically. “Hey, dad. How are you?”“I’m as happy as I could be with Nelly here. The real question is how are you doing?”“I’m okay.”He was silent for a while before he spoke again. “I won’t press too much on that, since I don’t want to have this conversation over the phone. I’ll give the phone to Nelly now. That’s obviously t
