GAVIN'S POV
"I think it's about time, Sam. You can now call off the wedding. I will take care of your parents."
I knew Bree is there listening to our conversation. And yes, this is still part of our plan.
But I can't help it anymore. I have been waiting for too long. If Bree loves me, then why can’t she break up with Seb? Why can’t she admit to herself that I am the one she loves and not Seb.
Maybe we want to let ourselves believe the things that we want to think.
Sam, hoping that Seb will finally learn to love her, that is why she makes herself believe that Aubree loves me.
<AUBREE'S POV He wants her to call off the wedding?! He already loves Sam!Oh my! Why he fall for her so fast?!That means he doesn't love me anymore! For him, I'm just a friend! I can not accept it!I don't know what got me, but I suddenly panicked.I went back to Gavin's office to talk to him and asked him about what I heard."Gav!" I called him.Gav immediately turned in my direction and smiled.Gav, I will not be softened by
AUBREE'S POV Until now, I can’t wipe the smile off my face. He still loves me. And he's right. I love him too.I don’t know, but right now, I feel so complete. I know that this will not be easy. I love Seb, and I knew that I could never unlove him. He became a big part of my life, and I have no plans to throw that away. It's not yet happening, but I am feeling hurt for him. I know that he genuinely loves me. I don’t want to break his heart. But I know that I will hurt him more if we continue our relationship.&nbs
AUBREE'S POV "It's okay, Bree. I understand. I will be here waiting for you.”He was about to turn around, but I immediately hugged him.I felt his pain. I want to assure him, and I hug him tight.We just kept hugging. No one breaks or speaks."I love you," I said softly.I know it's not time yet, but I can't help but say it.He hugs me tight and kisses my forehead.
AUBREE'S POV I still feel like I’m on cloud nine. I still can’t believe that it’s finally happening."Are you okay, Aubree?" Mrs. Dela Rama asked me. I looked at her and nodded. “Yes, Auntie, I’m still just not used to it, though,” I admit to her. She chuckled. "I understand, Aubree. Who wouldn't right?"I felt Seb squeeze my hand. I looked at him.He smiled at me, assuring me that everything is alright.
GAVIN'S POV I just came from Bree's place and felt so tired.I’m tired of understanding our situation, tired of being her second choice, tired of being taken for granted.I have never been in love in my whole life. It is not a secret that what I had before with Sam is not love but the fruit of being young, immaturity, and peer pressure.I love Sam as a friend and as a sister, and I know she feels the same.But Bree... It's like love at first sight.
AUBREE'S POVAfter my conversation with Gavin, I went straight to my pad to cry. ‘Aubree, you are so stupid! You are an idiot!’‘He loves you so much, but what did you do to him?!’‘You are so stupid!’‘Now you lost him! You lost him completely!’‘He already gave up!’‘He already gave you up!’‘And it was because of your stupidity!’
AUBREE'S POVI wanted to file an indefinite leave. But I know I can’t because my team has a big project that we need to finish. That is why I only applied for three days leave. And speaking of that project, I met him yesterday to give him updates for the said project. But I knew that if he only has a choice, he would choose not to attend that meeting.That is why I made way for his wish to be fulfilled. After what happened that night, I don’t think that we can handle dealing with each other. I knew what he wants, and even if it hurts
AUBREE'S POV My three days work leave is over. I know that those three days are not enough to absorb everything that happened to me.Before, I was waiting for Seb to return to my life. Now it happened, but another problem appears; my heart now is longing for someone else. And it's none other than Gavin. But maybe I should accept my destiny. If I had loved Seb so much back then, perhaps that love will be able to come back again.I also don't want complications. Everything is fine now. I'm okay with Seb's family, no one is hindering my relationship with him, and I’
