Amber Pov I suddenly got out of bed when I saw Phil fall down the bed. I didn't expect that he would kiss me so I unintentionally pushed him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it," I apologized to Phil whose face was frowning and barely drawn by a great painter. "What happened, Amber? Why did Phil suddenly fall under the bed?" asked Grandpa Fidel who suddenly woke up from his shallow sleep. "The bed was too small for the two of us so he fell, Grandpa," I answered quickly before Phil could get ahead of me in explaining. Grandpa laughed out loud when he heard what I said. "I said you should just hug each other so you can fit in that little bed and not fall." Phil came back on top of the bed and gave me a sharp look. In my eyes, the old Phil I knew came back again. Earlier, he was acting like he wasn't Phil. It was like he was possessed by another spirit and when he fell, some kind of spirit that was inside his body came out so he returned to his old self. The grumpy and stern-faced man.
Phil PovThe bottle of beer in my hand was almost broken due to the tightness of my grip. I've always been at the bar where Amber works for how many days. After she left the hospital we never spoke again. Every time she goes to the hospital to visit my Grandpa she really makes sure I'm not there. I feel like she is avoiding me. She doesn't want to see my face. And my heart is heavy knowing that she avoided me purposely. I shouldn't feel this way because I don't like her. And then she does her job as my wife, which is to make my grandfather happy for the rest of his days on earth. But I can't understand why I feel this way. I feel hurt that she was avoiding me. That's why I couldn't stand it and went to her workplace to see her secretly.And now I'm back again inside the bar where Amber works but she doesn't know that I always come here because another waitress was entertaining me. And from where I was sitting I could see all her movements. I see how she talks to male customers and how
Amber PovI put on my shoulder bag before I left the staff's locker room. I couldn't stop myself from yawning. It took me almost midnight before I could go home because I covered Mildy's shift. I wouldn't have had overtime today but because my friend went under time, I was the only one who took over her time because we are lack of waitresses. Two of our waitresses did not go to work for their shift so I also need to cover for their time."Are you coming home, Amber?" the waiter Anjo asked me when I passed in front of him."Yes. I'm going home. I've been sleepy for a while," I answered him then yawned again."Be careful when you go home," he reminded me. "You should have a boyfriend so that he will always go with you when you go to work and when you're going home. If only you had responded to my flirting with you, you would have a boyfriend by now," he joked to me. A joke mixed with truth. He has been making me feel like he wants to court me but I don't take what he says seriously so h
Amber PovI felt something soft and warm pressing against my lips as I regained consciousness. What Mr. Gustavo did to me immediately registered in my mind. I automatically give him punches even if my eyes are still closed."Stop it, Amber! It's me, Phil!"Apparently, I couldn't hear what he was saying because the only thing on my mind at this moment was that Mr. Gustavo is molesting my body. I continued to struggle and punch the man next to me. But I stopped what I was doing when the person next to me suddenly kissed me. His lips are familiar to me. Also, the way he kissed me seemed familiar to me. And I'm sure he is not Mr. Gustavo.Phil! I screamed in my mind his name when I finally recognized who is the person kissing me. The anger and fear I was feeling earlier were replaced by a delicious and seemingly tickling feeling. This is how I felt when he kissed me. I wanted more but the kiss only lasted a few seconds because when he felt that I had calmed down, he quickly released my
Amber PovAs Phil said, he picked me up the next afternoon. My things were still at his house so I didn't bring any of my clothes back to his house. I actually had clothes in Mildy's apartment so every time I sleep over with her I would have something to wear and those were the ones I used while I was living with her temporarily."Grandpa is coming home tomorrow morning and I want him to see you as soon as he gets there," Phil told me as he drove his car back to his house."Don't worry because I also want to see Grandpa so I will definitely be waiting for his arrival," I quickly answered him. "But don't think that showing concern and kindness to your grandfather is only part of my job. He and I become closer to each other after I spent my time with him and he was kind to me so I consider him my real grandfather, which is why I am happy that he will be released from the hospital," I added at what I said when I saw him slightly frowning. "Why are you explaining? I didn't say anything b
Amber Pov I had just finished getting dressed because I just took a shower when someone knocked on the door of our room. I'm sure the person knocking outside is not Phil because that person knocks so loudly and seemed angry. And one more thing, Phil won't knock on the door anymore, he will just walk in. If one of the maids that were close to me are outside, they also won't knock like that. So I can only think of two people who could be outside the door. If it's not Aunt Aloha then it's Karen. I dropped the comb I was holding on top of my dressing table before opening the door. And I was right because I saw Karen outside waiting for me to open the door. "What do you need?" I asked her with raised eyebrows. I don't need to be polite to her because I know she will not treat me nicely. I stood in the middle of the door because I had no intention of letting her in. Karen pushed me into the room. Fortunately, I grabbed the doorknob quickly so I didn't fall. It looks like this girl is look
Amber Pov I immediately greeted Grandpa Fidel when he arrived at the house from the hospital with Phil. He hugged me very happily. I noticed that he had more energy now than when he was inside the hospital. Well, even if it was me I will also feel weaker in the hospital than at home. I really don't like the smell of the hospital. But because I had to visit Grandpa, I endured the smell of the hospital. I'm thankful that he's out because I don't have to go to the hospital anymore. I can take care of him in the house. "You're getting beautiful as the day pass, Amber," Grandpa praised me while smiling widely. "That's what it's like when you're beautiful, Grandpa. I become more beautiful in your eyes because you don't always see me. You'll see it in the next few days and you'll say that I'm getting ugly this time," I laughed as I answered him. I saw from the corner of my eyes that Karen smirked and frown but when Phil looked at her she suddenly smiled sweetly. Meanwhile, Aunt Aloha's ex
Amber PovI am still on leave from my job so I took care of Grandpa Fidel. Because Phil is busy with the company and so is Aunt Aloha who works at her father's company. Karen is also busy with her studies because she is graduating this year so she doesn't have time to find faults with me and to fight against me. I can focus on taking care of Grandpa because Karen is often not around and always finds fault in everything I did. Just like today, except for the maids and other household staff, only Grandpa and I are at home because Pao is not there either, he is currently staying at his grandparents' house on the mother's side.I checked the time on my wristwatch because it was time for Grandpa to take his maintenance medicine. Phil strictly instructed me not to forget to give Grandpa his medicine at the right time. I went out of our room and walks to Grandpa's room. I was about to knock on the door of his room when I heard his angry voice while talking to someone on the phone."Something
