"What did you just say?" I asked her with a raised voice as I sat up from my bed glaring at her and was ready to have a catfight with her if I need to. "Don't use that tone at me. I should be the one asking who you are and what you're doing in bed with my fiance?" She asked arrogantly while returning my glares, making me want to smack her in the head. "Get out Kacey. You don't have any business being here so just leave." Gavin said to her through gritted teeth, but she was not having it. "I'm not leaving until I know who this b*tch is and why she's in bed with you?" She said with a loud voice but unlucky for her, I don't get intimidated easily, especially when it's about Gavin. She was about to pounce on me but Gavin stood his ground in between us. "You are not in the position to demand answers from me, Kacey. So, just leave." Gavin said to her but she just wouldn't budge. "I am in the position to demand answers, Gav. I'm your fiance for Pete's sake. We've been together for a lon
"I don't even know where to start, love." He whispered to me as he looked me in the eye. "Then start from the very beginning." I said to him with a smile as I nuzzled closer to him. He took a deep breath and finally, he began. "We were friends in high school, it was the start of our last year in high school when she confessed her feelings towards me. I didn't see her as more than a friend at first but she decided to pursue me and after almost two months of taking care and following me around, I decided to make her my girl." "So, she's the one who pursued you?" I asked him with a proud feeling filling me up to the brim. "One point for me then." "Yes, love, but I don't think you need to keep points. You already won." he said to me which made me laugh and gave me a warm feeling in my tummy. "Okay, now back to our scheduled broadcast." I said to him and he laughed before continuing. "After that, we went to different universities but they were close enough to be in the same apartment
"Love, are you sure that I look fine?" Gavin asked for a hundredth time as we were on our way to my parent's house. "You look fine, love. Stop worrying about it." I told him as I focused on driving. He spent the whole morning making sure that everything about him is perfect. I can't believe that he's really this nervous about having a meal with my parents. "You've met them before, Gav. What are you worried about?" I asked him as he was fixing his hair. "The first time I met them, we were in the hospital. Their first impression on me is me on a hospital gown, they didn't even stay that long." He said and I can't help but find him cute when he's this anxious. "It's just dinner, love. And besides, you're not the only one who's gonna have dinner with them for the first time. Charlie is also coming." I told him, holding his hand trying to reassure him. I saw the gates from a distance and I can help but be nervous as well. I stopped in front of the gate and rolled down the window to sp
"Love, you haven't told me why you left home in the first place." Gavin said as I came out of the shower after our dinner with my parents. "To be honest, you haven't told me anything about your family." I sat down in front of the vanity and was drying my hair as he lay in bed waiting for me to answer. I guess it's time for me to tell him the whole truth. I started putting on my skincare and started telling him my story. "To be honest, tonight is the first time that I saw my parents act so lively and welcoming." I started. "They weren't always like that?" He asked and I shook my head at him. "Nope. Me and Zab grew up under their very judgemental and micromanaging environment while our parents were anywhere around us." I said to him, finishing up my routine and then coming to the bed and lying next to him. "The only time I felt free when I was a child is with Nana Rosa. She gave me the freedom to do the things that interested me, that's when I started to do my comics and Nana Rosa
After causing a big scene in the office, Kacey was the center of gossip for the rest of the day. I didn't even have a chance to talk to Gavin after it happened. Gavin ordered food for everyone in our office but he didn't leave his office after the scene with Kacey. "Cath, I told Xander to meet me for dinner at six o'clock." Andrea said, suddenly appearing from behind me. I looked at the clock and it was almost four o'clock. I looked around the office and saw that there were only a handful of people left. "Yeah. Dre, is it okay if I meet you there?" I asked her, I'm kinda worried about Gavin and I want to make sure that he's okay before going to dinner with Andrea and Xander. "Of course, Cath. That's fine. I guess I'll go first, I have to get ready. I'll call you, okay?" Andrea said to me and I just nodded at her. She then left the office and once I was sure that I was alone I saved everything and got my things to go fetch my boyfriend from the confinements of his office. I saw Kyl
My body stopped moving as Xander asked Andrea the question that none of us really expected to hear that night as he got done on one knee. I looked at Andrea curiously and after a few seconds of staring at Xander, her eyes finally started to wander around. He caught me staring at her, looking for answers but I just shook my shoulders not knowing what to do with the situation. Finally, Andrea snapped out of her daze and started pulling Xander up to his feet. "Get up, Xander. Please." He whisper-shout at him while pulling his arm. I guess he noticed the panic in her actions because he stood up and sat back down on his chair. Me and Andrea both looked around and saw that not a lot of people were looking at our table and I saw Andrea drew a breath of relief as she focus her attention back at our table. "What's going on, Andrea?" Xander asked as soon as his eyes met hers. "Xander, no offense but I don't want to get married." Andrea answered her at had both me and Xander shocked. I looke
I still don't know what to make of the message I received last week. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, so I didn't tell anyone about it. I guess it was a good thing that I didn't tell anyone about it cause nothing followed after the first message. "Cath, about the script for the new volume, I'm kinda having a hard time connecting the plot of this to the last one." Janice opened up as we were having a team meeting for the new volume of one of our comics. "Send me a copy and I'll see what I can do." I told her and she nodded. "Anyway, if we don't have any concerns, I think we're all good." And I ended the meeting with the agreement of everybody. I went back to my desk and dropped off all my things, grabbing my wallet and phone before going to Gavin's office. We agreed to have lunch together today and because Andrea already had plans with Xander, we decided to go out for lunch. "Hi, Cath. Going out for lunch?" Kyla asked me as I walked by her desk. "Yeah. Have you had lunch?
"Why are you doing this Kacey?" I asked her before she could leave the office. She stopped at her track and then turn around to face me. "Because he's mine." She replied. "No, he's not. You lost him when you cheated." I said to her and she simply smirked at me. She then started walking back toward me, I was intimidated but I stood my ground. "I would never let anyone take away what's mine. Yeah. I cheated on him but that doesn't mean that I would let go of someone who can give me everything that I wanted in life." She replied. "Money, power, and everything that goes with being privileged." She said then turned her back on me and left me, alone in Gavin's office. So that's all that Gavin is to her. Someone that could pull her up the food chain. I felt angry, infuriated, but then guilt and worry washed over me. Can I judge her for lying to him, when I also lied? Am I even worthy of his love or his forgiveness? He's been through a lot and I added more to that. My knees buckled and
