Athena called Acia for breakfast.Acia was still 3 years old when we adopted her, now she's been with us for almost 3 years."Daddy! Daddy! carry me!" Acia said pouting, what a cute little girl. I pinched and kissed her cheeks before I carried her."This little girl really loves her daddy, hmp!" Athena said while pouting too."I love you too mommy, don't be so selosa."

PROLOGUE
CHAPTER 01 I was in the middle of driving when my mom called. I answered it immediately.[Anastacia! I miss you baby!] iyon agad ang bungad niya.[I miss you too mom! Teka wait…] I started my car when cars in front were moving, ugh! Ngayon pa talaga na first day of class! Damn this traffic![Let me guess, you’re in the middle of traffic, right?] my mom asked.[Yeah mom, ugh! Ngayon pa talaga] reklamo ko and started moving my car again. Napatingin ako sa relo ko and 10 minutes nalang, my class will start na! Geez.[I told you naman na you should get a driver, o di kaya I will send Hermos to be your driver.] she suggested and finally I was out in the traffic.[No ma, I can handle myself already. Don’t worry ‘bout me.] I answered and drove faster but safely.[Okay, by the way, don’t forget about Nate’s party.] she said at sakto naming na park ko na sa school parking lot. I saw cars who owned by my bestfriends, their probably inside.[When is it mom? I forgot.] I asked while getting my th
CHAPTER 02The day went kind of rough coz juniors and some of seniors that saw us, Grey in the field kanina ay nagkakagulo. Rumors we’re spreading about me and grey, na kesyo nag de-date daw kami. I have to talk to Grey tomorrow so we can clear things out to everyone. Papunta ako sa isang restaurant ngayon, alone. I was about to invite Saf but she said she’s gonna visit her parents. I want to be there for her but she said she can do it alone. Eversince her parents died, it’s like her life turned into black and white. Kaya hanggang andito ako I won’t leave her.I arrive at the restaurant then ordered food. It was kind of lonely coz I’m eating alone. I was just looking outside the window, and it makes me realize that this is life. At the end of the day, you are still the one yourself can count on. I thought I'm gonna be eating alone but someone just joined me. It was Grey.“I hope you would not mind me joining you for dinner.” he said and smiled kaya nginitian ko rin siya.“I won’t min
I’m mad right now, I really am. What just the fudge he just did!? He made the situation even worst. Napilitan lang ako kanina na sabihin sa kanya na pag iisipan ko, para naman hindi siya ganoong mapahiya. Then he replied with cheesy lines which made the crowd go crazy.“Ana—“What the hell did you just did, Grey? Wala 'yon sa napag usapan natin.” I cut him off immediately. I just kept my voice calm kahit na nagagalit na ako deep inside, I badly wanna blow all my anger but I’m just controlling myself.“It was a surprise, I prepared all of it last night—“We both agreed to make it all clear, but you just made it more complicated. Ano nalang masasabi ng parents ko Grey? That I am letting myself easy to get by you? That I’m not even thinking of my decisions?” I can’t control myself anymore. It was truly a surprise pero hindi ako natutuwa sa surprise na yun.“No no no, I can give you time Anastacia, I will patiently wait for it. I'm not rushing you” he said and smiled, I look at him with fr
A week have passed, ganon parin. Crowd was wild,and these past days I’ve been so uncomfortable of my surroundings. Pero still, I kept my positive view, baka akalain nila na ang maldita ko. A week have passed na rin ng nagsimula na kaming mag date ni Grey, minsan nga sabay kaming mag lunch and mag dinner outside.Tonight is Nate’s party. Hindi daw makakapunta si Grey because he has something to do, his parents left her tasks. So I had to go alone, but I know my friends would be there. I’m just wearing my simple white spaghetti strap dress that fits my body well, I also put light make up on my face so I won’t look pale and wore my black heels. Afterwards, I drove myself to Nate’s Residence, sa bahay lang kasi nila gaganapin yung party.Nate is our childhood friend ni Safiela, we we’re living in a same village with them. So when we we're still kids ay kung lalabas kami ni Saf, lagi namin siyang nakikita sa playground kaya naman we invited him to play with us, then our friendship started.
I'm having dinner with my dad and with his trainees, and this is my first time. I was sitted beside my dad so there is a vacant sit beside me, Grey didn’t hesitate to grab the chair and took a sit. It’s like I want someone to sit beside me it’s just ah… nevermind.They we’re talking about their games which I can’t relate but then it didn’t get me bored coz it was my favorite sport they we’re talking about. They we’re talking until the food was served.Different kind of food was served, at talagang nakakatakam ang mga ito. I served myself a steak and also got my self a chicken stew. I also served my dad steak and chicken stew.“How sweet of you anak, thank you.” he said and caressed my hair. I smiled sweetly and mouthed ‘you’re welcome daddy.’“Ang sweet talaga ni Anastacia.” Drex suddenly said, napangiti lang ako.“Ang swerte naman ni Grey.” napanguso pa si Rimo, I smiled awkwardly.“Here, eat this. It’s delicious.” napatingin ako kay Grey mg bigla niya akong binigyan ng shrimp, I don’
