Chapter 9Until it reached my thirteen roses dance because Dad was my escort, he was also my thirteenth rose, so that's how I was surprised when the twelve roses dance came and then the emcee announced Dad's name."Dad, why are you my twelve dance?" I asked him in astonishment while we were dancing, he smiled at me as I waited for an answer but the three minutes of song and dance we have are almost done and I still haven't got an answer from him, he was about to let go of my when he looked at me in my eyes and said. "I'll just do everything to make you happy, honey." I am confused and happy at the same time but I love Dad so, so much."I love you Dad." Then I hug him super tight before he leaves me alone here on the dance floor.Until,"And now for the thirteenth rose dance..." The emcee said and then the main light in the event hall turned off and the only lights left were the mini ones, I was also left alone in the middle of the dance floor for a while as I was holding my twelve ro
Chapter 10Just like what Travis wanted to happen after I ate, he asked me if we can go to the garden now. but I don't want to go there and be alone with him there! I feel anxious just thinking of him and me alone in the garden! Now, because I am thinking he might do something not appropriate but it's because I might not control my emotions again and say things I'm going to regret after. So I made way again to delay us going there,"My foot hurts, how about you just leave me here... and just go to the garden alone." He raised an eyebrow at me and obviously didn’t believe what I said, yeah, it's because I forgot to touch one of my feet. Damn! I really suck at lying and acting!He then turned his gaze at me for a moment then looked at his watch. My lips parted and then I thought of another excuse."Are not you hungry? Can you eat first?” I just remember all the time I am eating here like a pig. He never touched the steak that was served."Don't you like the food? Would you like me to r
Chapter 11 Fortunately, before I finished my frappe, my bitch of friends I had been waiting to arrive finale came! I gave them both a glare and at the same time, I scolded them when I saw how fabulous they look like."What's up?" I asked them in wonder, as I raise one of my brows. "Well, we just picked you up here to take you with us." P said artfully.“What do you mean?” I asked her confused."We're going to audition for Asia's next top model." This time it was Addison who answered. “What?!” I don't remember that we had a conversation about us going to an audition, yesterday or the day before!"But we have to leave now because the line we'll be in at the mall might be longer than a plate of free rice," Addison added. And then she and Penelope stood up from sitting so I did the same thing."In which mall are we going? And why are you auditioning?" I asked them one question after another as we walked out of Starbucks."Because Kim Madrigal is there, she’s one of the judges!" P said
Chapter 12 One by one, I read the names posted on the door, the other name I read, is not familiar, however the others I know by name because they are an actress, I even saw two names of singers posted in two different doors.What are they up to? Are they going to audition as models too? Or are they going to have a live performance? I don’t know. Maybe. Anyway, like I care. They are not the reason in the first place I am here so why bother thinking an answer why they are here.I continued walking until I reached the middle of the hallway, I slowed down a bit because there are a few doors that were open, but I still read the name tag hanging.Where is Kim's? Why is it so hard to find her? Uhhm but thinking about how VIP she is, since she is the main producer of this show, so for sure she is in the bigger room and... her room is not in the busy area for sure!Urgh! Why did I just realize that now? Since she's a super VIP, for sure her room is in another floor or a further part where no
Chapter 13"Are you sure, you’re, okay? I can call our family doctor to check on you, hon." Mom told me. She came home in no time; I think one of our helpers called her suddenly when I got home.As soon as I got into our car, which picked me up at the mall, I immediately started crying. Our family driver even asked me what my problem was? He even offered to take me to the hospital if I am feeling sick or if something hurts in me. Yeah, something hurt inside my body but I am sure the doctor can’t cure my broken heart. But I refused because it wasn't the doctor who can help me with the heartache I am feeling right now. I told him I can handle it and I prefer to rest at home, it was good and our family driver believe what I said and he take me home just like what I requested. "I'm okay mom," I answered her with my tired voice and didn’t bother to move from my position. I am facing the wall when I felt mom seated on the edge of my bed. "I just want to rest first mom." I heard mom si
Chapter 14When I go to mom and dad's room for sure they will know that and will be surprised if I ask mom for the Cartier key, they will also know that I am crying and for sure they will have the idea that I am just sneaking in that you are bad I feel.How is it now? How can I remove that twisted bangle from my hand? Shall I cut off my hand? That bangle is too expensive for me to just break it.In the end to pamper myself, I decided to soak just in the bathtub.I thought it was a good idea to soak in the bathtub to get pampered, but when I was in the tub, I couldn't help but be stunned."What's up? Why do we have a sudden fancy family dinner tonight?" I asked mom and dad, because instead of our family driver taking me home after school, we went straight to a fancy restaurant.I even wondered why there were no customers and was about to return to the car because maybe the man from the restaurant who brought me to the restaurant made a mistake one of the waiters approached me and said
Chapter 15 "Why don't you go with us?""I have a lot of homework to do mom.""Even the weekend?" I nodded at mom's question and got busy with my laptop again. It's a good thing she doesn't peek at my laptop screen so she won't catch me just using Facebook."Just like today mom, my assignment reached me." Well, I only said that to get him to leave."That's an important event for Dad, you. The Forgers will introduce him as one of the board members and project engineer.""I know mom, but we've already celebrated so there's no need for me at that party.""But Kourtney –" Before he could finish what he was going to say, I pulled him away.He is angry! I saw it in his facial expression but because the Forgers were there he controlled it and pretended everything was okay. It's obvious that he's befriending the Forgers because he likes Travis!I'm sure because I also like Travis and what he does to impress the Forgers I am doing the same thing! He's just lucky because Travis entertains him,
Chapter 16Desire even held my other hand and then she looked at me sweetly,"Even if you don't admit it Kourt, I know you have feelings for Travis." Desire's words moved my lower lip.He smiled sadly at me again."Forgers are famous, many people want to know their whereabouts, their private lives, including women who are interested in them." I bit my lower lip."I hear news about how female guests get sent home, when you go on vacation with them at their beach house. Often the story comes from Travis' female guests who get sent home and the trouble revolves around you, Travis and his girl. They hate you, your being young is no reason if you both feel the same way about Travis." And then he shrugged his shoulders."But what do they have with the Martinezes who also have a wide influence and have Forger back up?"I can already hear, because I can't hear anything else but my beautiful beauty. They couldn't believe that I was Kourtney, because they said I changed my hair color and like t
