What About Love? Chapter 9
Darren's POVAfter our last class in the afternoon, Angela, Eduard, and I went to the school oval as our agreed meeting place. Other group members were already there sitting on the benches, laughing while throwing jokes and funny stories. We were like this ever since, and we treat each other as sisters and brothers. As we came towards them, my eyes immediately looked for Jeyah but she was not there yet."Hey bro, bubs!", I greeted them all and we gave each other an exuberant high five."Jeyah and Clarisse are not yet around bro. But I guess, they're on their way now", Andrew spoke.I just nodded and sat beside them. But suddenly, Bridgette appeared together with her group of friends."Hi everyone, hello my love!", she said and was about to hug me, but I quickly stood up and dodged away. I was just trying to control myself because I don't want to ruin my mood. No! not this time."Are you guys wanna join us for a night out?", Bridgette asked, showing her flirtatious smile. Her other f
What About Love? Chapter 10
Jeyah's POVI did not know that I had fallen asleep inside Darren's car when he was driving me home. I was only listening to some of the songs played on the stereo when my eyes became droopy. The last song that I heard before I fell asleep was "What About Love" by Lemar. I remembered I asked him if he likes that song. He replied it was his favorite and he would be happy if anyone could sing it for him. After that, I did not know what happened next.I just came back to my senses when I heard a sweet voice, whispering in my ear.I frowned and when I opened my eyes, Ryle's face was caught before my sight."Ryle!", I exclaimed as I stared at him."Hey, are you okay Jeyah?", Darren asked me, with his voice a little confused.I rubbed my eyes and looked intently at him. It was Darren. I realized we were already at the gate of our house."I'm sorry for waking you up, Jeyah. I could have just carried you. But I am just worried what could be your brother's impression if he would see me carry
What About Love? Chapter 11
Jeyah's POVI suddenly woke up when my brother was softly knocking on the door. I stood up and stretched my arms. I flipped the doorknob and opened it."Happy Valentine's Day, sweetie", my brother hugged me as he handed to me two bouquets of flowers. One bouquet of pink roses and another bouquet of red roses.He stepped inside my room and sat on my bed. I sat beside him while holding the flowers."Thank you boo. Happy Valentines'!' I responded."Uhm, why there are two bouquets boo? I know these pink roses are coming from you, but who sent the red roses?", I asked curiously, smelling the sweet fragrance of the flowers."Hmm... someone delivered this a while ago. Why don't you read the card attached to it, so you will know, your secret admirer?", Andre spoke with a teasing smile on his lips. I'm sure he knew already who could be the sender.Yeah, I forgot the flower card. I opened it and there it reads,"Happy Valentine's baebubs. See you around."I smiled after reading the message, kno

Jeyah's POVDarren's eyes were glued at me as I went down the stairs. He stood up and reached his hand for me."You look perfectly beautiful baebubs", Darren complimented."Thank you, I responded, averting my gaze from him.I was a little shy because my brother was also there in the sala, secretly observing us with a teasing smile on his lips. I glared at him and gave him a warning gesture. Gladly, he got what I meant to say and he stopped teasing me around."Please take care of my sister, bro", Andre said in a pleading tone of voice."Yes bro, I will", Darren responded with a gentle smile."Bye boo!", I uttered and hugged my brother."Bye sweetie. Enjoy the party. Take care", Andre replied and kissed my cheek."Enjoy also the party later, boo! Take care", I responded. Then, Darren and I left the house after I said goodbye to nanny.I couldn't help but feel uneasy while I was sitting beside him. He was so handsome in his navy blue long sleeve that was folded up to his elbow. It was ha
What About Love? Chapter 13
Darren's POVI did not know what came to my mind when I decided to be the escort of Jeyah at the Valentine's Party held in the UP campus. I never had done like this before. I mean, it's always the ladies who asked me to be their escort. It sounds conceited, but that's true. It's because I never experienced admiring someone in my entire life. It's always me who is given much attention and it's always me who is adored and loved. That was all I ever wanted from the beginning.But since I met Jeyah, everything turned the other way around. I'm the one who is giving her much attention. I drove her home, I called her, and I even gave her a bouquet of flowers through a delivery. And most of all, I offered to be her escort at this Valentine's Party. I find all of these very unusual.And the fact that she is with me now, gives me an overwhelming emotion.It's my first time feeling this way. Is this what they called 'love'?Until the sweet music echoed on the dance floor. I offered my hand to he
What About Love? Chapter 14
Jeyah's POVAs soon as I entered my room I slumped down on the soft mattress, covering my face with a pillow, and burst into tears. I thought that joining the party would make my day, but I was totally wrong. It was gone wrong more than I ever expected to happen.Why did Darren kiss me, yet he kissed another woman? What was that? A joke?I don't have any right to feel this way. Darren and I are just friends. But I am really hurt and I couldn't do anything about it.Suddenly, I heard steps coming into my room and I know it was my brother Andre."Sweetie, are you still awake? he spoke and flipped the doorknob.I hurriedly wiped my tears away because I'm sure my brother will be worried of me if he sees I'm crying. I stood up and leaned my back on the headboard."Uhm, yes boo", I replied with a casual tone.My brother went closer and sat on my bed."How's the party sweetie? I saw you coming inside", my brother asked while intently looking at me."It's okay boo", I responded trying to hide
What About Love? Chapter 15
Jeyah's POVAfter my class in the afternoon, I fixed my things and bolted out from the room. I told Clarisse that I need to go ahead and couldn't go with the group mates this time because my brother texted me telling me that he already booked a ticket for us to take our flight to South Korea."Oh, so you'll be out of the country for a while bubs?", Clarisse spoke."Yes bubs, we need to be at my mom's wedding or else she would be upset. I already asked permission from our professor bubs, so I think there's no problem anymore. Anyway, I'll be out for only two days. Kindly tell our group mates bubs. Thank you", I said and then left, heading to where I parked my car.In my mind, it's better to stay away from Darren even just for a while and divert my attention to other things so, it's easy for me to forget him. I know I can do it. I need to do it because the feelings I have for him, could never be reciprocated.After I settled the steering wheel, I started the engine and pulled my way hom
What About Love? Chapter 16
Darren's POV"I think we are lacking now!", I said as we gathered at the oval."Yes bubs, Jeyah is not around, she is now traveling to South Korea with her brother", Clarisse responded as he combed her hair with her hand."Oh no!", Eduard mumbled.I was just silent because I don't want to be obvious to my group mates. But deep inside my heart, I'm a little sad because she is not with us right now."So, shall we go now?', I asked.Everyone answered in chorus. So we get inside the car and as soon as we're settled in, we left the school campus, heading in our way to our favorite hangout place. I feel so empty while driving. I missed her already, but it's better to set aside these feelings because it's not gonna work out. She is still in love with Ryle and I don't want to be her second choice.We reached at the Ninyo Food Cuisine and as usual, we're at the table intended for us. We ordered food and wine then as soon as our order is served, we began partaking in it. Sam, as the clown of ou
