I am eating the food when the door opened again that cause me to stop eating. It is him who is intently looking at me now. I avoided his gaze, while he faked a cough.
He entered the comfort room inside is room. I just continue eating. It is so yummy. Who cooked it? Him?
I smiled because of that. He still cares for me huh. I know and I am sure of that.
When I'm done eating, I drink the fresh juice and get the medicine to make this headache vanish.
I rest for a bit and after that I decided to wash my plate.
As I am washing, I remember something. Does Kurt change my clothes? Oh my gosh!
Wait, why I am smiling widely with that? Am I really insane?
After that, I go back inside his room to get my phone and dress.
At exactly entering his room, he is heading out from the bathroom. He is topless now. The water is dripping over his body. His abs are shining right now. And his muscles are bulky, I want to pinch it. Where is the justice? Why he is so hot?
The room suddenly get hot even tho it is air conditioned. I simply fanned myself.
"Done staring at my body?" he asked and smirked at me. He is teasing me and looks like having fun.
I avoided his gaze again and faked a cough. "Ehem." I look at other direction and speaks. "For your information, I am not staring at your body. Duh. You are not even hot," I lied. Okay. I am so bad. I'm a liar. Because the truth is he is really hot!
I heard his steps. I flinched when I felt his breath on my ear. "Really?" he seductively asked.
I faced him. How many times my eyes widened in shock? The space between us is only an inch. I gulped. "For real," I answered.
"If you say so," he muttered and held my waist. "You're not good at lying, Joyce Clara." Then he smirked again.
I pushed him slightly so that we can have more space between us. But that's just so nonsense.
He didn't even move out from his place.
"I'm not lying," I sternly said. This is suffocating. We are sticked to each other and I can feel his abs on my body. And I can clearly see his muscles. I know that my face looks like a tomato now.
He moves even closer to me. My reflexes tell me to move, but he just made me closer to him again as he is holding my waist.
"I'm not hot? Really, Joyce Clara?" he repeated and raised his one eyebrow.
I pretended that I didn’t hear what he said. "Anyway, where is my phone and dress?" I changed the topic. I cannot breathe properly anymore to our previous topic.
"And now you are changing the topic. Answer my question first."
Because we are so close to each other, I can smell his breath and it is so fresh.
"Fine. Yes, you are hot! Okay?" I pushed him after that and finally, he moved.
I pouted and sat on his bed after that. Just then I focused not on his top, but to his bottom.
He is just only wearing a towel. I gulped with that sigh. I imagined so many things already.
I shake my head and diverted my attention. "Can you tell me now where in my phone and dress?"
He put is one hand on his waist. "Your phone is in my drawer and your dress is in my closet. By the way, don't reply to that assh*le. Is he making a move to you?"
I raised my one eyebrow. Assh*le who? Who is he pertaining to?
He noticed my facial expression. "That Klei," he clarified.
I pursed my lips to stop myself from laughing. "Klei? Are you crazy?" Then I laughed. I just shake
my head on him and stand up to get my phone and dress.
He stays still in his place and just watch me.
I checked if there is really a text.
"Where did you go?" That was Fea.
After that I opened my Daddy's message. He is asking where I am. I'm late to work.
Then I decided to open Klei's message. It was just an hour ago.
"Hey! Do you want to stroll tonight?" he asked.
I was about to type a reply to him when my phone suddenly vanished away from my hands.
"Didn't I told you that don't reply to that boy?" he asked irritatingly.
I faced him and throw a dragger look. After that I get my phone form him. I walked towards the comfort room and lock myself there.
I wear my dress back. But before I go outside, I replied to Klei. I answered that I want to stroll tonight. So that I can have a fresh mind.
I am so sure that Fea and Troy are in good terms now. While Khloie is not available to go outside with me. Sceven doesn't like her to get out of his sight. And she may be busy to Stanley, their child.
When I get out, I am planning to say I’m leaving to Kurt. But I heard him talking to someone on the phone.
"Of course, Babe. Yeah. I will see you later," he said while there is a smile on his face.
I smiled bitterly with that. Right. He is in a relationship. He has a girlfriend already. And I am not that.
I am crying while walking outside. Why the world making me feel this psin? Eight months already passed, but I'm still here. I still cannot move on. I still cannot believe the truth that I am not his anymore.
When night came, Klei fetched me.
We are inside of his car now. It is silent. The only thing that making a sound is the music from the stereo.
After some minutes, we reached our destination. I smiled when I saw it. Ah, I am so lucky to have him as a friend.
Thankfully, he really knows what will make me happy.
We walked towards the street vendors. The foods make me hungry. There are quail eggs, fishball, ballot, and barbecue.
"You look so happy huh," he muttered.
I look at him while smiling. "You're the best," I said and gave him a thumbs up.
He just pinched my nose and lead me to the vendor of barbecue. He ordered intestine, feet, and legs of chicken. Also, betamax, hotdog, and pork. As well as buko juice for drink.
It takes fifteen minutes to get all that be cooked. There are small tables here and we sat there to start eating our food.
I am busy chewing when I stop. "Why?" I asked on him because he is intently staring at me.
He shakes his head and start to dig in his food. Sometimes, Klei is weird.
I just shrugged my shoulders off and eat all my faves.
"Slow down. You might get choked," he warned.
I stared at him and pout. "This is so yummy."
He gets a tissue and move closer to me. I get curious about what will he do. I was about to ask him about that when the tissue touched the side of my lips.
"You have sauce," he said.
I get quiet while he is still rubbing the tissue on the side of my lips. He is just intently staring there.
Awkward.
"Ehem," I said. “Let's go back to eating. I'm still hungry," I continued and faked a laugh.
"Did you enjoy?" he suddenly asked.
I smile widely at him. "Super!" I answered in a joyous tone and eat some quail egg. Yummy!
He smiled at me too. "You know what? You look more beautiful when you are smiling."
"I know that I am beautiful even if I am not smiling duh," I joked.
"For real. I will not deny that fact," he said.
"Why can't you deny that?" I asked while still eating.
"Because that's the truth. You are really beautiful," he said in a low tone.
I stop on my track. Okay. Sometimes Klei is really honest. "You are spoiling me so much," I said and laughed. "I though you said that I am ugly?"
Back when we are in outing, he always said that I am ugly. I am just surprised that he is telling me now that I am beautiful.
After we stroll slash food trip, he takes me home.
"Good night," he said while smiling at me.
I hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much, Klei. You made my night so happy."
He chuckled with what I said. "I might get out of breath with your hug. So tight," he joked.
I moved and slap him in his arms. "Duh! Go home now. Text me when you reach your house, okay?"
"Yes, Ma'am.” He even saluted to me.
I wave my hands. I just watch him go away.
As I enter our house, smile can't be fade away. I am really thankful to have a friend who is ready to make me happy.
I am so glad because in the morning I am crying like a baby because of Kurt. And now I can't even erase the smile on my face because of Klei ad foods hihi.
I walked towards my room and take a shower before diving on my bed.
When tomorrow came I became busy in the office. Daddy makes me do so many things. I need to submit it later to him.
I also heard that there will be a merging. It is between the company of Casupanan and Martinez.
Ahm... I hope that it is not Kurt’s company. Besides, there are so many Martinez in this world.
When lunch time came, I headed outside the building and decided to go to the near café. I am not in the food to eat proper meal right now. I want to eat some sweets like cake and drink some coffee.
I ordered an oreo cheese cake and cappuccino. I sat at the table and roam my eyes around the facility. There are so many quotes written on the wall.
I stop at one quote. "Let go of the pass and be happy."
I smiled bitterly with that. Looks like that quote is for me.
After eating there, I go back to the office to continue my work. I need to finish it all.
Time passed and finally I’m done. I commanded Yvet to pass that to my dad. Then I fixed all my things and walks towards the parking lot.
I get in my car and decided to go to the mall. I will buy gift for Stanley. His baptism is approaching. And of course, I am one of the godmothers.
After buying gifts for him, my tummy growl. I headed to one of the famous fast foods. I don’t like to eat a social class restaurant now.
I am busy digging my food when my eyes reached two people. They are holding each other hand and smiling. It was Kurt and Dessery the clown. Her make up is so thick, just like her face.
I irritatingly look back at my food. Maybe I should really try the quote in the café earlier. Let go of the pass and be happy. I really need to do that.
Maybe it's time for me to really move on. Kurt is not the only man here in this world. I will move on. Maybe it will be really too hard, but I know that when days or months passed by, I can finally move on from him. I can finally accept the fact.
I cannot deny now that I am still feeling the pain because it is still fresh for me.
The worst feeling in this world is being hurt by someone you love. I hope I can unloved him. I wish that I can truly let go of the pass.
I am heading towards the church now. I am about to get late to Stanley’s baptism. That boy is so cute. He inherited it from his parents. Khloie is pretty, while Sceven is handsome. Their combination is so good. I am really happy for them.Hay! When will I get settled down like my best friend?I shake my head with that. How can I settle down when I still can’t move on? Ok… no, I shouldn’t think about him.When I reached the church, I parked my car and get inside. It is not starting yet because other godmothers and godfathers are still not here. The only one who is required to go here in church are the godmothers and godfathers. While other visitor can go straight to the food venue. Me, Jace, Hyrie, and some are already here. I am so glad that they did not make Kurt as Stanley’s godfather. They are planning to make him one to their second child. Oh right. Amazing. There are no second baby on the way yet but there is already a godfather. “Let’s see each other at our house, Joyce,” Kh
“Hey! I am speaking since we get here and yet you are not listening to me. My gosh, Joyce! You are even smiling like an idiot there. You look like crazy,” Fea said and eat her ice cream. We are here at ice cream parlor. She invited me here. She is craving for an ice cream. Hmm... is she pregnant?She pinched my waist. “Why are you smiling like a fool in love? Share it to me.”I just smiled stupidly at her and shakes my head. “Nothing. Can you repeat what are you saying earlier?”“I don’t want to. I am so tired saying things to you then you don’t give me attention. Let’s just change the topic. Share your story to me.”“It’s just nothing,” I said and scoop from my chocolate ice cream. She glared at me. “Ah! It’s a boy. The reason why you are like that is because of a boy, right?” then she looks at the ceiling. “Is it Klei or your jerk ex?”“Just don’t think about that anymore, Fea. Finish your ice cream and we’ll go to the spa.”Then I diverted my attention to my ice cream.But since
I woke up feeling something on my tummy. I slightly open my eyes to look at it. My eyes widened when I saw that it is a hand. I look on who is the owner. It’s Kurt. I slowly move his hand. I was about to sit up when he placed it again to my tummy. This time he tightly hugged me. I tried to move it again but he make it even tighter.“Just stand up later. It’s still early,” he said with his eyes close. I just quietly look at the ceiling and try to remember what happened last night. As I realized it all, my eyes open wide. My gosh, Joyce Clara! You are so embarrassing. You really have the guts to flirt with your ex huh. Stupid. I slap my forehead. Why is he always there whenever I’m drunk? Does something happen between us?I look at him. He is topless. Then after that, I look at what I am wearing.“Ah!” I shouted. This is so hilarious. I am just wearing bra and panty. Kurt wakes up because of that. “Why are you shouting?” he grumpily asked.“Why are you shouting your face!” I irri
"Tell me the truth, Joyce. Is there something going on between you and Kurt?" Khloie asked like a curious cat and even put her hand on her waist while suspiciously looking at me.We are preparing now the dinner. While Anya is in the room taking a rest. And the boys are busy telling each other story."Nothing, Wi," I answered. I diverted my attention to the pitcher of water and I poured it on my glass. I drink it straightly.She pinched my waist. "Hmp! Spill the tea now," she said and while her one eyebrow is raised.I pouted with that. "There is really nothing going on between us.""Nothing you say. But the way he looks at you? Ah you'll melt." Then she smirked.I sighed. "I really don't know if there is something going on between us. I am confused too.""But is he giving motive to you? Like he'll talk to you and say that you are only his."I nod my head. "Yup. But I don't know if I'll believe that. I don't want to assume especially that he has girlfriend now."Her eyes chinked. "But
Klei and I was about to go outside the mall when I suddenly remember something. Ah yeah. I need to buy gift for Fea. “Klei? Why don’t you go first? I need to buy something,” I said that made him stop on walking. I didn’t really remember it earlier. And now I need to go back to second floor and buy gift. He faced me. “What? I bring you here so I should send you back,” he said seriously. “Eh.” I scratched my nape because of that. I’m really shy because I might take his time too much. I will take so much time in choosing gift. It is Fea’s birthday tomorrow. As a friend, I want to give her something. She is not really that too materialistic but I still want to give her a gift. He was about to answer me when his phone rings. He answered and placed it on his ear. “Hello,” he said. It takes them minutes to finish. When they finished talking, he faced me again. He sadly looked at me. “I’m so sorry, Joyce. I really need to go. There is an emergency to the company.”“It’s fine,” I said
I really know that voice and I am sure who is he. I diverted my eyes to him and I am right. It was really Kurt. “Kurt, hijo,” Mr. Martinez said. He takes the sit in my front. And now, I can clearly see him. He intently stared at me and I cannot take that so I avoided his eyes. I can feel the redness of my face now. Why I am feeling those butterflies again just because of him staring at me. “Are you alright, Joyce?” Daddy asked, he noticed how red I am now. Maybe he is thinking that I am not feeling well. I smiled at him. “I am, Daddy,” I answered. I cannot say the truth to him. He smiled back at me and go back in talking to Mr. Martinez. “By the way, Joyce, this is Kurt Martinez. Son of Gregorio,” he said after a while. I nodded at him. I know him too well, Daddy. If you just know. “Kurt, this is Joyce Clara Casupanan.”“I already know her, Pa,” Kurt said. My dad and his dad gave a curious look at him. “I think she's the one,” he continued. His dad laughed because of that.
“Joyce, where are you?” Anya asked from the other line. I wear my high heels. “I’m on my way,” I answered. “Alright. Be fast. We are almost complete here,” she said then hang up the phone. I look at the body size mirror in my room and scan myself. I am wearing a fitted red dress and a choker on my neck. My cleavage is showing a little. I am also wearing a black pointed heel. And of course, I am wearing a light make up. I put my phone on my pouch and go outside. I called our driver. I don’t want to bring my car, I know that I will get drunk there and I can’t drive anymore. Minutes passed and I arrived at the location. It is a high-end bar. I saw Kurt on front of it. What is he doing there?“Thanks,” I said to the driver and get off the car. I walked until I reached the entrance. I stop when I saw him scanning me. My heart beats faster to the way he stared at me. Just like the usual.Why do I feel like the time became slow?His forehead creased and walks closer to me. “Your dres
After eating with Kurt at the restaurant, we take a rest for about five minutes, then go outside to head to his condo unit. When we arrived inside his condo, he said that he will take shower first. I nod my head at him. Before getting inside the bathroom, he winked at me. I just smiled at his antics. Oh, Kurt, what are you doing to me. While waiting for him, I walked towards his closet and find clothes there. I don’t have my own clothes here so I will just borrow from him. But the problem is I don’t have underwear. I don’t like to repeat my underwear. I think that was so gross. After some minutes he finished taking shower. I avoided looking at him when I noticed that he half naked and the only cover on his lower body is the towel. Yeah. His abs are waving at me again. I heard him chuckled. Then he steps towards me. “Why are you blushing, Honey?” he teasingly asked. I rolled my eyeballs and pouted at him. “I am not blushing. It just that it is so hot in here,” I reasoned. He
