'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me. – Rachel Platten ••• “Eat something, will you?” Beatrice pushed a bowl of cereals she’d made for Annaliese. She almost gave up trying after ten hours. Ever since Annaliese got back to the hotel, she didn’t say a word but stared blankly. Zombie might be the right word to describe her demeanor now. Beatrice turned to Gerard then rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief and pity at the same time. She didn’t like to see her best friend in this phase again. Gerard knew exactly what was going on. Annaliese was in denial, trying to fight the feelings that suddenly came back after all these years. He sat next to her on the couch. “The more you deny it, the stronger it gets, Ann. Trust me,” he said. Nonetheless, Annaliese didn't flinch at his words though she heard them clearly. “You’re doing it wrong. The first thing you need to do is accept the fact that you’re feeling it again. Love,” continued Gerard, emphasizing the word ‘love
And that's why he's spinnin' 'round in my head, comes back to me, burning red. – Taylor Swift ••• Change of heart, change of plans. William surprisingly had his own magic to open Annaliese’s heart for a new beginning. Neither Gerard nor Beatrice had thought that this would be possible, knowing how hard their best friend’s heart had become. However, it didn’t necessarily mean that Annaliese opened her heart to a new relationship. She wasn’t ready for that. Instead, she embraced the fact that she got the feelings again and forgave those who had hurt her before. Additionally, she made it clear that she didn’t want to be romantically attached to anyone but to remain friends with William. After going through four days of a nerve-wracking situation and a day of not-speaking terms, they decided to meet up and talk. This time it was Annaliese who started it; she intended to express her gratitude. It was very bold of her to not invite her best friends along. "How are you feeling?" asked W
And I can’t help but stare, ‘cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes. – Justin Timberlake •• Annaliese found herself in someone’s embrace when she woke up. Again. This time her eyes met William’s, who happened to be the one keeping her body warm the whole night. As soon as their brains came to a wakeful state, they jumped off the couch simultaneously. They both sat on the edge of the couch, keeping a distance between each other. None of them could say a thing. Apparently, awkward situations always got in the way of their efforts to build a friendship. As if it wasn’t enough, what they saw on the table made it worse. A picture of them unconsciously kissing. Annaliese quickly grabbed it from the table and held it against her chest. "You didn't see it, did you?" "Uh, unfortunately… I did." William pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows. "Then pretend you didn't. I'll do too. This picture doesn't exist. Okay?" Annaliese instructed. Her heart beat so fast. She then got up from the
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling. Do you feel my heart beating? Do you understand? Do you feel the same? – The Bangles ••• “Seriously?” Annaliese widened her eyes as soon as she saw the board name of the place. Doolin Glamping. “You know what? I thought that it would be a long journey. Back in Indonesia, the nearest town would take at least thirty minutes for you to get there. And yet, it was only a ten-minute drive? And with this view? Wow.” William nudged her. “What do you expect? It’s Ireland. Besides, they have a baby,” he said, referring to Saoirse and Stephen. “Don’t get me wrong. I like this place. It’s different from Lisdoonvarna. I mean, while it’s only town there, it’s more grassy here. This is actually what I’ve always expected about Ireland,” Annaliese explained in astonishment, her eyes roaming all around her. “Welcome to Ireland,” shouted Stephen who was already a few meters ahead of her. Annaliese scratched her right temple and started strolling behind
And suddenly you're all I need, the reason why I smile. – Avril Lavigne ••• “Oh? I like you too.” William was stunned at Annaliese’s unexpectedly quick response. Anticipating any misconception, he then clarified, “No, no. If you think I like you only as a friend, then you’re wrong. I’m saying, it’s more than that. I like you as a woman.” He stressed the last three words. Annaliese let out a short sigh. “That’s what I meant too,” she said. “Really?” William still couldn’t believe it. All this time he’d received only indifferent responses when it came to such a man-and-woman situation. “Yeah.” Annaliese nodded. Her eyes repeatedly blinked in nervousness and her fingers were intertwined with each other. “I guess it’s time for me to stop denying it. As you said. The more I deny it, the stronger the feelings are. So… Yeah, I like you. You’re unlike the other guys I knew. You value me as a woman. And I can tell you’re not just sweet talking when you compliment me.” William looked Ann
It’s the way I’m feeling I can’t just deny.– Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris•••Who knew that this almost-turned-down project would lead her on a journey of opening her heart to love again? Annaliese was on cloud nine ever since her relationship status had been made official. Everyone could tell from the way she looked at William with an endless smile. They always stuck to each other everywhere, inseparable like a pair of shoes that were always together.Annaliese cherished every moment she was spending with William, knowing they would soon be in a long-distance relationship. It was true that she could work from everywhere around the world given the job she had, for instance in the same city where her boyfriend worked. They talked about it. Nevertheless, signing a contract with Eudaimonia meant she was officially a digital nomad. She would move around a lot.“As soon as you return to Boston, you have to call me, okay?” Annaliese let out a heavy long sigh. She hated to be away from someone
Because of you, I don't know how to let anyone else in. Because of you, I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty.– Kelly Clarkson••• “What do you mean by GONE?” Annaliese turned up her voice, afraid of losing William forever in a car crash or any other unfortunate incident.Beatrice gave a sharp nudge to her boyfriend. “No, no. What Gerard meant was William left,” he said.“Left? To the US? Without telling me?” Annaliese shrieked, almost bursting into tears. “But why? Everything was alright last night. It was in fact the most beautiful night I’ve ever had so far.”“Let’s go inside first.” Beatrice lightly pushed her best friend into the room. They walked toward the couch while Gerard trolled behind after closing the door.They sat next to each other in the same spot where Annaliese and William were seated. Meanwhile, Gerard positioned himself across them.“Did something wrong happen? Did he tell you something?” Annaliese couldn’t wait for an explanation for this mess.////////////
It's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through. No right, no wrong, no rules for me.– Idina Menzel•••The reply never came. There was no more hope for her relationship. The ship had sunk into the deepest ocean. Luckily, she managed to escape so as not to be lost forever in despair.Life must go on. Thankfully, there was still one good thing she could take from the very message that had left her heart scarred. It gave her a reason to not hate love. She might set aside the thought of finding someone to get married to for a long period of time, but she had decided to keep her heart open. Who would she allow to enter into it? No one knew. Not even herself.Her name as a travel vlogger had gotten increasingly known to the world than before. She never expected to gain such an achievement in her life in not more than eight months. Not only had her career as Eudaimonia’s ambassador rocketed, but more and more companies had endorsed her personally.For this reason, her
