Kalex’s POV
"What's up?" Demitri asked as he sits in front of me. I asked him if he could come because I needed someone to talk to. I need someone who could knock some sense out of me. "Where's Jase?"
"Upstairs. Sleeping." I replied before I took a sip from the glass of whiskey in my hand. I know he's waiting for me to start talking but I fucking don't know where to fucking start.
"It's about Gwyneth, isn't it?" He asked when I didn't say anything. My chest tightened by the mere sound of her name. I miss her. I miss calling out her name and how she smiles at me in the morning.
"She's ... she's leaving tomorrow." I said in a low voice as I remember what she said five days ago. I don't even know how long she'll be gone. I was afraid to ask.
My mind went crazy by just the thought of her leaving with that fucker and all I ever said to her was that she doesn't need to worry ...
Gwyneth’s POVI woke up with the clamorous knocking on my door. I looked at my clock; it's already 11 in the evening. Who would bother to visit me at this time? I don’t even know why I was on my out to see me at this hour when in fact I still had to sleep because my flight will be early tomorrow at five in the morning. I was still yawning while rubbing my eyes as I walk to the door."Gwyn! Gwyneth! Are you there?!" My yawning stopped and my eyes widened when I heard Kalex's loud voice. I immediately ran towards the door thinking that something might have happened to Jase."Kalex?" he was sweating and gasping as he put his hands on his knees to support himself. He's wearing his usual sleeping clothes, his jersey short and a white cotton shirt. "What are you doing here? Why are you gasping?""I ... took ... the ... stairs." He said as his chest is heaving from the gasps. It took me a second
Gwyneth’s POV"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Local time is ten past three in the afternoon and the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius ..."I can't help but to feel all the excitement as the crew announced that our plane landed. I've been peeking out the window for a while now because I really want to set foot in the Philippines again. It has only been six months, but it feels like forever since the day I've been here. I was excited to see Jase and Kalex. We video called almost every night and they also went to see me at Christmas. They stayed there for the whole holidays but it's not enough to compensate my longing for the two.The hard battle of homesickness!"Have a nice stay ma’am!" one of the crew greeted me before I went down on the plane. I gave her a smile.When I got off the plane, I went straight to a bus that the staff p
Gwyneth’s POV“Are you really sure you’re not going to attend the party at Denver’s house?” Zaina asked me as we walk down the corridor.We just ended our class sooner than I expected. Our professor got a call from our school administrator, telling him that there will be an emergency meeting together with other faculties, the reason why he dismissed us earlier.“I'm gonna be busy tonight, you know doing usual stuffs and all.” I repliedI don’t have much time to have fun, besides, I have an appointment later with one of my client.“But this is the first time Denver got a ball to invite us. It will be put to waste if you’re not gonna come.” She tugged the hem of my top, pouting her lips on the process whilst gazing up at me with those puppy dog eyes. “Accompany me later, please.”“I can't .”“Even just for an hour?&rdqu
Gwyneth’s POV“I'll be your girlfriend from 6am up to 5pm only. If the time is up and you're still in need of my service, you had to pay for my overtime. Aside from that, you need to inform me firsthand if you have events to attend and need me to escort you there so I can prepare ahead of time." I clarified things up with Kalex before giving him the contract he had to sign.A goofy smile crept into his picture perfect face as he reaches for the documents I was holding up for him. “Is this really necessary?" he asked, pertaining to the contract.We are currently here in my own apartment, discussing the do's and don’ts when I'm gonna be his contract girlfriend.I opened my bag, rummaging for my pen and handed it to him when I saw it. "Of course it is! This is not some silly jokes you could just crack, Kalex. This is my job, better be sure before diving in." I replied to him curtly."What if the con
Gwyneth’s POV"Are your parents in here already?" I immediately asked Sean when he greeted me first thing, the time I stepped into the restaurant."Yeah, they just got here not long ago." he replied so I just step my pace up to somewhat regain my composure before meeting his parents."I'm sorry for making them wait. Something came up that's why I didn't make it on time." I reasoned out while we're heading to the VIP room of the resto."It's okay."Together, we entered the room filled with dim lights and as I wander my eyes around, my very own eyes landed on an elderly couple I assume Sean's parents. They were now sitting in a luxurious seat and seemed to be waiting for our arrival."Hello, good evening." I greeted politely.Sean's mom offered a smile making me feel a bit at ease. “Have a seat, sweetie." Motioning to the vacant seat near me."Thank you." I muttered when Sean pulled out a chair for me
Gwyneth’s POVThe entire room was filled with a deafening silence that got me fidget in my seat even more. It's as if they are waiting for me to explain the whole thing to them. What am I getting myself into?I silently calm myself down before standing up. "If you don't mind, let me excuse both of us for a moment. We're just gonna talk and sort things out first. It's seems like Kalex over here, is having a misconception. We'll explain everything when we get back, I'm sorry. "I said goodbye to them before turning my gaze to Kalex." Follow me.“ Gesturing for him to come with me.I sashayed on my way out of the room with Kalex hot on my tail. When were out of their sight and into a solace corridor, I whipped my head towards the asshole who just ruined the whole thing."What the hell was that for? Are you out of your mind, Kalex? You screwed us up! What are we gonna do now, huh?" I lashed out outrageously at him whilst tugging my
Gwyneth's POVA few minutes later, we're in his car and he's driving like a mad man, he's making me nervous as hell."Take me back to the resto this instant! I'm not happy with what you have done back there. Now take me back so I could atleast apologize in your stead." I am restraining myself not to rebuke him even more.He didn't seem unfazed at all instead he is more focused on finding a parking spot in the front lawn of an enormous house or more like a mansion.From here, I could clearly see the whole party design at the entrance gate. Party music blasting like there's no tommorow and I could say that everybody is having fun in there, dancing and grinding each other's body like a wild animal."Sean is going to be mad at me if I didn't make it in there." I insisted.He unbuckled his seatbelt before turning sideways. "Come on, the party started earlier than I thought." He's not even paying attention to my consta
Gwyneth's POVThe irking music blasted the whole place. I've seen a group of people smoking weed, aside from throwing drinks in the air and consuming alcohol. It's creeping the hell outta me.“I would have you home before midnight.” Kalex whispered to my ears before walking crisscross going back to his troupe busy playing game flip cup, which gotten them boozy.Is he nuts? He's insanely drunk, so how is he going to drive me home?Most of the people attending this party spend their leisure time getting intoxicated. Even Zaina? Well, she's nowhere to be found since she left me a while ago.How I wish Kalex didn't showed up earlier while I'm with my client. Tch.I stood up and started to walk down the exit of this house, or should I say mansion. Denver is fucking loaded.I don't think I can stand this kind of atmosphere any longer. I'd rather wait for Zaina outside than breathing the same ai
