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,” Khloie said after the event and kissed my cheeks.
Sceven quickly removed Khloie from me and gave me a boring look. I shake my head because of that. My gosh, Sceven! Even to me you are jealous? So possessive to Khloie.Khloie waved her hands to me and enter their car.
I also entered my car and start the engine of it. The venue of the celebration is in their house. I am sure that it is pompous because Sceven is the first grandchild of Abellano and Sandoval. I can imagine how glamorous it is when his birthday celebration come.
When I reached their house, I saw everyone who knows Khloie and Sceven. Even our former classmates are there.And of course, this one will not gonna slide. “Joyce,” Klei shouted.
I raised my one eyebrow on him. Ah why do he need to shout my name? Now we get the attention of others.
He walks towards me and place his arm over my shoulder. “Let’s eat,” he said and pulled me.
I roam my eyes around. I stop when I saw Kurt looking so serious while looking at us.He is sitting beside Sceven. They are drinking alcohol now. Oh, why he is not with that clown? Gosh, I am so bitter. I just shrugged my shoulders off.
Klei stops me when we are in front of the buffet. I also saw Wi there with Hyrie, her cousin. They are really close to each other now.
After placing foods on our plates, we sat at the table near to Kurt’s. Fvcker. Is Klei intentionally do this?
I just simply rolled my eyeballs and start to eat. Klei is so busy telling me things, that is why I can’t help but not to laugh. Especially to his jokes. I even saw Kurt taking a glimpse to us.
After eating, Klei told me that he will just answer his phone because someone is calling him.
I stand up and walk around. Sceven and Khloie’s house is so nice. I headed towards the fountain and just stared at the water.Time passes by and Klei said that he needs to go home already. His brother is coming home from another country.
It is already night. The moon starts to show up. The visitors are already gone. The one who only stayed are us, group of friends.
I moved to Wi and get Stan from her. I played with the cute baby and make him laugh. Ah, he is so cute and handsome. I really want to pinch but he might cry so no.
Wi sat beside her husband. While I stay in another table with Stan. The baby is not allowed there. He will smell the alcohol. So bad.
I am just playing with Stan for so many minutes. When he is sleepy, Khloie gets him from me. I decided to go with them to their room.
“So how are you?” my best friend asked while putting Stan on the crib.
I just smiled and shrug my shoulders off. “Here. Still pretty,” I joked.
She slaps my arms slightly. “Crazy you. I am talking about your love life.”
“Still can’t move on. It is too hard.”
She stared at me. “Argh! I will really pull Kurt’s hair if I have the chance. I know that he is still the one in your heart, Joyce. But why don’t you try to love other man?”
“I don’t know, Wi. Maybe I will just focus on moving on and to my career.”
We changed the topic after that and just tell stories about any things.
I headed outside and decided to relax first. I will not go home today; we will have overnight here. The whole group. Meaning that Kurt will also stay here.
When I reached the first floor, I saw them still drinking. They are just chilling tho.
Anya called me so I don’t have any choice but to join them. I saw that the only vacant seats are on the sides of Sceven and Kurt. And Khloie is approaching us, meaning that she will take the sit near her husband.
I don’t have any choice but to sit with Kurt.
I held my breathe. Why does fate do this to me?
I can even smell him. So fragrant. I can smell him all day long.
They give me five shots. But I am still aware on what I am doing. I don’t want to get wasted anymore. The last time I get wasted, I reached Kurt’s condo. I will be embarrassed if I will do that again
“So when are you planning to give Stan a brother?” Jace asked to the wedded couple.
I saw how Khloie’s face turned to red. She hides her face on Sceven’s chest.“My Khloie is so shy,” Sceven said to Jace.
I laughed with what he said. Reason why Kurt looks at me.
I gulped when he stays doing that. He is intently staring at me. I don’t want to assume but I noticed that he is always bat an eye to me.
He met my eyes and didn’t bother to avoid my gaze. After a minute I surrendered.
Why it is like that? Why I am feeling butterflies on my stomach with his stares.
“How about you Jace? When will you get married to Anya?” Wi asked.
I turned my head to Anya. I saw a pain in her eyes. There is something wrong. I just can’t figure it out right now.
“Maybe next year,” Jace answered and drink the alcohol straightly.
I stood up and excuse myself to go to the comfort room.
When I reached the comfort room, I wash my face. I am so drunk now. I need to slow down or best is to stop drinking.
When I headed outside my eyes widened because someone pulled me. With his smell, I know too well who is he. Kurt.
He stops when we reached the guest room. When we get in, he pushed me. My back is in the door now.
“Kurt,” I warned.
He didn’t speak and instead move his face closer to mine. And now I can smell his breathe.
I look back at his eyes. It feels like I am drowning to the way he stares at me. It makes my knees tremble.“Are you in relationship with Klei?” he asked.
My forehead creased. Does he really think that I have a relationship with my friend?
I don’t know, but I kinda feel happy right now. If he is asking me about that, does it mean that it is bothering him? Is he still have feelings for me?
I sighed. “And what is it to you if we are already in a relationship?” I seriously asked.
The expression on his face changed.He made his face even closer to mine. “Tell me that you and that boy are not in a relationship. You are not together,” he pleaded.
“And if we were?”
He closes his eyes tightly and after that he suddenly grab my nape and kissed me. The way he kisses me is so harsh.
After a second, I can taste blood. He stops when he realizes that my lips are bleeding.
“Sorry,” he said and gave me a smack kiss. “I am so sorry that I made you lips bleed. It just that... please tell me that you don’t have relationship with that Klei,” he said and pressed his forehead to mine.
I stayed quiet. The way he kisses me earlier made my heart aches. He never kissed me like that. I want to cry right now because of that. I feel like he really changed.
I look at the ground and pushed him. After that, I headed to the bed and lay there.
There’s no sense in going out. He is in front of the door and I know that he will not let me go outside.
He heavily sighed and made a step towards me.
I sat and look at him. “Kurt, what happened to us? Why is it like this?” I asked in my trembling voice.
He just quietly stared at me. Waiting for me to continue what I am saying.
“Do you know that I am so envy to you? Why? Because you moved on so fast. You changed me so quickly. And here I am, still stuck. Still in love with you,” I said while crying.
He didn’t answer me.
“You know what? I don’t really know why you left me. Is it because I can’t give myself to you or is it because you don’t love me anymore? Or worst you didn’t even love me. I really want to move forward; I really want to forget you.”
I stand up and walked away. I am so confused to him. He acts like he still has feelings for me. But I know that is too impossible. He has a girlfriend. He has Dessery.
I am just part of his past that he forgot. I thought we will be together until the future. But no. Never.I was about to open the door when I felt him hugging me from my back. “Please don’t. Don’t forget me. I cannot accept that. I’m begging you, Joyce Clara. Don’t forget me,” he said and kissed my hair.
I turned around to face him. And when I faced him, he kissed me. And now I can feel the sincerity on it. I can feel the love, the longing.
“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
The days passed by and he is still courting me. I planned to answer or make him as my boyfriend on his birthday. That will be my birthday gift to him. And I think he’ll love that so much. It will just be five days before his birthday. “Hey,” he called my attention and kissed my cheeks. “Where are we going?” I asked. He smiled at me. “Secret,” he said and wiggled his eyebrow. Argh! Why is he handsome? I will never get tired looking at his face. He opened the door for me so that I can get in on his car. After that, he also gets inside. He moved closer to me. “H-hey.” “Seatbelt, Honey,” he answered and laugh at me. I rolled my eyeballs at him. “What’s so funny?” I grumpily asked.He pinched the tip of my nose. “Nothing,” he just said and started to drive. I really don’t have any idea where are we going so I keep on asking him about it. He faced me and pinched my cheeks. “As I said earlier, secret.” The he flashed a smile. The he faced the road again. I just look ou
