RYLAN'S POV"Cherry? I wonder where the cherry is," I whispered to myself while searching for the jar that was just beside me earlier.I'm in the kitchen now, busy making desserts for the party. Lily and Brandon wanted to help, but I declined knowing they're busy preparing the program and games. They decided to hire a catering service for other food. I've finished making some desserts like fruit salad and coconut pandan. I also made cookies and macaroons for giveaways. I was almost done with the black forest graham cake I was making when I realized the cherry I needed was missing."I'm sure I left it here," I murmured to myself.No one could have taken it since Dylan is at work and I'm alone here now. I couldn't help but feel a bit sad because I miss him again."Where could it be?" I muttered in frustration.I've been looking for it for a while now but still couldn't find it. I've searched the entire place but it's nowhere to be found."Are you looking for the cherry?""Yes, that's i
RYLAN'S POV"Happy birthday to you!!! Happy birthday Gabriel!" cheered the guests at the birthday party."Thank you so much, everyone!!!" Gab enthusiastically responded to everyone.I scanned the room and saw Benny, Rico, and Jeff, along with other kids we often play with on the basketball court.The occasion was grand. It was obvious it was well-prepared with lots of balloons, food, and games ready. There was even a clown making everyone laugh. It was such a joyful scene. Seeing all this, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. I wished I was born into a wealthy family so I could experience this too, maybe even still be in school. But even though we're not well-off and there are many things I didn't experience in my childhood, I would never trade my family for anything. I love them dearly.I sat at a table with Lily and Nico. Mrs. Mimi wasn't around because she was busy with the guests. Brandon was also mingling with the guests. I knew his boss was attending too."Miss Lily, thank
RYLAN'S POV["Can I talk to you?"]"Of course, what's it about?" I heard Brandon reply to Dylan.I saw Dylan take a deep breath before speaking, as I continued walking towards them. "I just want to apologize for my behavior earlier," Dylan sincerely said to Brandon."No worries, man. If I saw another guy dropping off my loved one, especially if he's my wife, I'd be mad too.""That's actually what I wanted to clarify.""Dylan, can I clarify things for him?" I asked for permission as I reached them."But Ry--" Concern was still evident on his face."I'm okay, and it all started with me anyway. I'm really sorry, Dylan, for dragging you into this." I looked straight into his eyes to show how remorseful I was."Wait! Cutiee, don't take all the blame because I'm the one who started it all."I was surprised when Lily suddenly appeared behind me."Lily--""No! Dylan, Brandon... I'm really sorry for my joke leading to all this," Lily earnestly apologized to Dylan and Brandon."Lily? Do you kno
RYLAN'S POV"Aaah~ Ry, please go slowly.""Do you not want it anymore, Dylan? Am I not good at this? I've been tired of doing this for a while now," I said with a trembling voice."It feels so good, Ry, but let's take it slow," he replied, catching his breath."Stop it, Dylan. Someone might hear you, and who knows what they'll think," I said irritably, even though my face was already turning red."It's okay, Ry. It's just us here," he said with a grin, lying face down on the bed."Seriously, Dylan, I don't want to anymore. My hand is getting tired from massaging you," I replied, getting up from behind him."Wait, Ry. I was just joking. Just a little more," he pleaded."Don't you have something to tell me, Dylan? Why don't you start now?""Oh, right, thanks for reminding me," he said, and I frowned. It meant he really forgot.When he came home earlier, he mentioned that he had something important to tell me. After we ate, he asked me to come to his room to talk about it, but suddenly h
Chap 1'Psst.''Pssst.''Hey handsome!!! Notice us~'I was hearing that while I was walking here on the side of the road, the sunlight was still hot even after twelve o'clock in the afternoon.'Pssst!''Handsome!!! Handsome !!!'I can still hear the hissing coming from somewhere in the distance, I can't turn around because it's definitely not me they're calling. First of all, I don't have the appearance of being handsome because I'm just a humble provincial who landed here in Manila to look for a job. But in an instant, my thoughts quickly changed when suddenly someone grabbed my arm."Hey handsome, can't you hear us?" a gay man frowned."Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I wasn't the one you were calling.""You're still humble, you're really handsome. Aren't he, girls?" he said again while asking his another colleague.'Is he with someone else?' I was confused and can't help to question in my mind what's happening.Maybe because of hunger and tiredness that's I can no longer notice some thing
Chap 2RYLAN'S POV"Would you like something to drink?" he asked."Oh, don't worry, thank you very much for the food you gave me. The last time I ate was yesterday," I said, taking a bite of the fries that I dipped in ketchup."Also, thank you for saving me earlier. If you hadn't stood up for me, I might have become a call boy.""You thank me too much, all of it are fine ," he replied, I also noticed that he was standing in front of me."You stay here, I'll just buy inside."I couldn't stop him because he was walking so fast. I just continued eating. It didn't take long and he was back."Here," he offered, handing over the purchased soft drink to me.I just accepted it and said thank you. A few minutes later, I was about to finish eating, but suddenly he spoke and I turned to him.'He's still here,' I thought. I was amused by the food because I only tasted something like this for the first time."It's been a month since I came home to the Philippines, because I worked abroad for sever
Chap 3RYLAN'S POV"Here's the banana cue, eat it," I said to the children who were begging and sitting on the side of the road.I really thought Dylan would eat all the banana cues he bought from Grandma. I can't help but remember our conversation earlier."Can you really eat all that, Dyan? That's a lot," I asked him as we walked away."Of course I can't eat it all, so let's take four, two for each of us, then we'll give the rest away," he answered happily and still laughing.Dylan is really amazing, first of all he is kind because he saved me earlier and even gave me a job and now he is giving food to the children we see begging here."Brother, thank you," said a boy, bringing me back to my trance."Don't thank me, thank him," I said as I pointed at Dylan, because he was the one who actually bought the food.In my beliefs and impression are the same as others when it comes to the rich peoples. I thought of them as full of their selves and arrogant, but when I met Dylan I knew I was
RYLAN'S POVI WAKE UP early, I looked at the clock hanging on the bedroom wall. It's four o'clock so it's still dark outside.I woke up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, it was my first day at work. I'm so excited that I rushed what I was doing.A few moments later...I'm already in the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Dylan. I cooked eggs, hotdogs and fried rice, because this is the only thing I could cook based on the contents of his refrigerator."It's done, I have to wake up Dylan," I whispered to myself. Look at the clock here in the kitchen. It's 5:30 am right now."Dylan!!! Wake up, it's late and you still need to take a shower!" I gently shook his shoulder."Rylan?" he called me while yawning.I look around, in fairness, the interior of his room is beautiful and cozy, its design is also simple. It's just that, due to the mess it ruined everything. His clothes and belongings were scattered all over the place."I'll just clean it when he leaves," I whi
