Chapter 11
THEY went back to Sorsogon after a week. They spent little time exploring the City of Baguio before going home.
Einille suggested trying ghost hunting, but they couldn't do it due to her tight schedule. Besides, she was sure that Vale would be around anytime she needed him.
Vale sent her home because he left his car there. And they could not miss the teasing stare of Shari. Her cousin was off-duty and waiting for them.
Shari immediately asked her about their activities for the past week when Vale left.
“It seemed the mountaineering adventure refreshes you. And surprisingly, you and Vale looked closer now. Is this a rebound relationship?” Shari tickled Einille’s waist.
“We’re friends now. Don’t get me wrong, I never planned on getting into a new relationship. When the time is right, I will. I’m thankful to Valentino. I like his company. He is witty and funny, plus drop-dead gorgeous.” Einille did not conceal her smile while Shari rolled her eye

VALE moved fast, and he pulled his caliber .45 pistol and pointed it to Hero while he shielded his body in front of Einille. “If I were you, don’t try that.” Vale’s voice sounded dangerous. His usual playful expression was gone, only a stern face of an assassin. “Hey, easy! I’m just getting my car key.” Hero stepped backward. Perhaps he knew he was on the losing side, especially that Shari was only a few meters away from him with her gun in hand, pointing at him as well. “Einille says, get out! Don’t bother her again, or else you’ll have to deal with me.” Vale slowly puts his gun down. “I’ll go for now, but I’ll come back soon.” Hero strolled fast, going out of the house. They all breathed out in peace when they reached the roared of an engine going away. “Sorry about that.” Vale sharply exhaled. He lightly scratched his hair after he rested his gun to the holster behind him. Shari came closer to them. “I swear, I would h

EINILLE’S eyes traveled around when she reached the firing range. And somehow, she felt a disappointment because Vale was nowhere in sight. She held herself not to frown since she had expected him to be here earlier than her. “Hey, your neck might crack. Are you looking for someone?” Rab teased. He just came, wearing the black and red uniform of a Range Officer. “Excuse me? I’m just checking around the number of participants.” She rolled her eyes to conceal her embarrassment. “You say so. Vale won’t be around now because he had to run some errands. He sent a representative, though. Didn’t he tell you?” Einille shook her head, “He dropped by at home last night. He said he’ll be here.” “There must be an emergency. Although I’m surprised, Vale used to be your worst nemesis. Why a sudden change of heart?” Rab giggled. Einille got the notion that even she didn’t tell anything to Rab, this man knew what was going on between her and Vale.

EINILLE quietly settled on the passenger’s seat. Vale concentrated on driving beside her. He would give her a furtive glance from time to time. He appeared lost in his thoughts “Are you still uncomfortable with me?” Vale broke his silence. “It's not like that. I’m just conscious because I’m reeking of gunpowder.” “Don’t worry, no one will smell you. I won’t do it either.” He giggled. “Crazy! Where are we going to eat?” “I know somewhere. By the way, are you still on a diet? Because the last time you told me you’re into intermittent fasting.” “Intermittent fasting is not a diet, but an eating schedule. Besides, I’m not worried even if I gained weight. Is that a problem?” “Of course not. You’re still pretty even if you gained weight. It won’t change the fact that I like you.” Vale’s eyes still on the road, “Being confident is the new sexy,” he added Einille swallowed and cleared her throat. Vale had always been straightfo

“IF I hadn’t heard about what happened to you and Vale, I would’ve scolded you for forgetting Uncle Ricky’s birthday. Are you sure you’re all right now?” Shari said while they were having their dinner. At this moment, Einille was feeling better. Thanks to Vale, who stayed at her side when she almost broke down in shock. Although her marksmanship skill was impeccable, it was her first real encounter. Since the day she entered the service, she was usually in her office in the Crime Laboratory. What happened earlier gave her body a chill. She knew this would happen and thank the heavens she survived unscathed. “Don’t worry. I’ll get used to this. This is a part of our job.” She reassured her cousin. “So, it won’t bother you attending the birthday party tomorrow?” “We can’t say no to our uncle. The only problem I had in mind is the dress for the party.” “Consider it solved. I bought a few formal dresses.” Shari proudly said. “I’ll

THEY reached the venue after almost half an hour. It was located on her uncle’s private resort in Irosin.There were a lot of visitors. Shari and Kyler were waiting for them. They were on the veranda, then the celebrant came and greeted the two.“Uncle Ricky, Happy Birthday!” Einille greeted her uncle when they reached his location.“Einille, darling. Thank God you made it here.” The old man beamed. He exchanged hands with Vale, who greeted him, too.“That’s impossible, Uncle. How could I forget?” she sweetly held his arms and exchanged more pleasantries. But she casually distanced herself when her cousin, Meja, was going in their direction with a wineglass in hand.“Einille, Shari! My dearest cousins.” Meja greeted them by kissing on their cheeks. She appeared tipsy, and maybe she had been drinking since earlier.Meja looked at Kyler and Vale, and she couldn’t h

DAYS had passed, and Einille expected Vale to show himself after what happened at the party. Although he tried to reach her via call, she didn’t answer. She was even more disappointed when he didn’t put in an effort to see her. But what to expect? They ended it up so badly the last time they talked. Perhaps this was the perfect time to realize that Vale was just the same man who couldn’t stay loyal.This morning, she went to work with a heavy heart. She missed Vale’s presence, but she couldn’t reach out to him. She was still perplexed about her feelings. She had to remind herself that Vale was just a nobody. She regretted the day he let him be closer to her. And now she was not used for him to be missing in action.I hate him. She gritted her teeth. They were not officially dating, yet he had shown his true color. A cheater!The thing she witnessed between Vale and Meja wouldn’t leave her mind. She didn&

EINILLE finally agreed to meet Vale’s parents. Vale sent her home to be prepared. She decided to give him another chance. He was sorry, and she forgave him. She reasoned out that nobody was perfect. She only made sure that such an incident with Meja would not happen again.She composed herself while inside the car. She was feeling uneasy. She had an idea that Vale came from a well-off family. What if his parents wouldn’t like her?Einille filled her lungs with oxygen before entering the Grefaldeo’s mansion. Vale offered his arm, and she held it tight.Their house was a three-story building with a spacious roof deck. She silently swooned to the paintings hanged inside.The helpers greeted them, and from there, she plastered a warm smile on her face.“This is my father’s ancestral house. I just had it renovated. My parents would stay here while in the Philippines. I have two other brothers, both living in C

“WITH that smile of yours, I knew something happened,” Shari said the following day while on their breakfast. She held a cigarette while drinking a black coffee, “Did you sleep with Vale last night?” she flashed a teasing smile.“No! Don’t give me that look.” She giggled.“I don’t believe you. Tell me, is Vale yummy? On a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, where would you put him? How about the girth size?”Einille laughed, “You’re crazy. Nothing happened. And even if we did, I don’t kiss and tell.”“So, you’re keeping secrets from me.” Shari blew a cloud of smoke to her side.“I am just happy, and I deserve this, right?” she drank her tea, “How about you and Mazareno?”“We’re doing good!”“Good to hear that.”Einille told her cousin about Vale’s
