Twelve...
My mom and David were happy when I told them that I had a job. Albeit I was happy, I couldn't stop worrying. Nate wanted to date me for what reason? How could he ask a girl out when he barely know me?
I was trying to call Sabrina for relief but I bet she was busy. She was not online since morning.
'Here I am, can't sleep because of overthinking,' I thought as I was trying to imagine how uncomfortable I would be around him.
'Waaaah! This is crazy!' I whispered in my mind as I flipped over in my bed and I buried my face in the pillow. I was dwelling on the same thought oftentimes. It's driving me crazy! I kept feeling anxious when I heard my ring tone.
"Who is this?" I whispered when I saw an unknown number calling me.
"Who will call me at this hour?" I thought, thinking that it was already 12:45 am.
I wasn't sure if I should answ
Thirteen...I hurriedly pulled David near the sink and told him to continue what I was doing. He stared at me in disbelief. I was in a panic and I didn't know how to explain it to him."What? I'll be late for school," he whispered."Just finished those. Hurry!" I whispered back and hurried inside my room. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked like an old woman. Wearing an oversize shirt, pajamas, and has messy hair. I hurriedly comb my hair but I suddenly stopped to realize...'The heck? Why am I concerned about my look? So what if he sees me like this?' I whispered and I couldn't believe that I just tried to fix myself but I did anyway, it was awkward to let my boss see me like this.Letting out a deep sigh, I slowly pulled the door and went outside and I saw my mom talking with Nate. On our old simple couch."So, what brought you here, Na..." I paused
Chapter fourteen...Cally's POVI couldn't look at him in the eyes while the crew is serving our food. He brought me to a restaurant and I don't know but this set-up was crazy."I love your mom, she's funny," he started a conversation, he was smiling at me and I just smirked awkwardly."Yeah, she is. So, you get my address in my resume, isn't it?" I asked and he chuckled as he nodded his head, agreeing to my statement.Chewing his food, his eyes stared at mine, they were beautiful, he wasn't doing anything but they looked attractive. I must be crazy. His eyes were like hypnotizing me to keep staring at them."So, later, it's going to be a lot of work, so don't just stare at me and eat, I know I'm too attractive but you have to gain strength," he said, blinking my eyes, I couldn't help but to cackle. Where did he get that too much confidence in himself."Who said you're attractive?" I raise
Chapter Fifteen... Cally's POV It's been a month since I started working with Nate. It was Sunday and my day off. Sabrina and I talked about him, again. It seemed like we used to talk about him lately like he was the topic of the year. Well, Sabrina kept asking me about our status, well it's complicated, I didn't know if I would be supposed to let my heart skip a beat. On my very first day, it was cool, we became comfortable. And on the second day, I was starting to feel butterflies in my stomach every time I saw him, and since that day, I could feel how excited I am every morning just to see him. I'd always loved the way he was all serious and focus on his work, he was not distracted but after our duty. He was there texting me, sending punch lines, I never expected he would do. We were too old for that but honestly, he got me there, every punch line he was sending me brought a smile to my face. I couldn't understan
Sixteen... Nate's POV My driver stopped the car and I got out while he drove the car to the parking lot of the building... I was heading inside the building when I noticed Cally, and she obviously noticed me as well. I was about to call her name when she suddenly hunched down her head and covered her face with her bag. It was funny to see her like that, why did she have to cover her face when I saw her already? She really amazed me every day in a weird way. "She is crazy? Isn't it?" Amanda said, one of the models. She walked beside me and I glanced at her and smiled. "Isn't she's cute?" I said and she reacted annoyed, although she was hiding it, it was transparent to me. She didn't respond and just gave me a fake smile, how mean she was. I went to the elevator and Cally was nowhere to be found, I wonder where she went or did she run tha
Seventeen... Cally's POV He held me so tight in his arms that I couldn't move. Trying to resist was hard for me, he was damn strong but then I couldn't understand why my body wanted to respond to him. I tried to push myself away from him before everything could get worst but it didn't work and the worst happened. I was trying to escape from him but I admit, I had this feeling that I liked the way he was kissing me and then the worst happened, I couldn't control myself anymore, I kissed him back like crazy. Pinning me closer to him, I could feel his breathing. I loved the way he pushed me to the door, having him too close was bringing butterflies to my stomach. I didn't know but I guess, I missed his kiss. Yeah, the boy I kissed before actually never faded away in my mind after that night. He was my first kiss so how could I forget him? And honestly, I've always wanted to meet him again someday, and him kissing me made me real
Eighteen... Cally's POV "What?! Are you crazy? You rejected that handsome guy?" Sabrina said on the screen and I hissed and told her to be quiet as if we were in the same room. "It's your chance to have a boyfriend. And come on, Cally, are you crazy? You both kissed," she rolled her eyes. I didn't know why I was talking about it to her, I just want to let out my thoughts so I could sleep but I guess she's not the help I needed right now, all she did was scold me and told me that I should just accept him. "Well, anyway, what's your reason? Why did you kiss him back if you won't date him?" she asked and I was speechless for a moment. I wanted to let her know about me, being impoverished was not a perfect match for him but I didn't cause I know she would not understand, and she would only push me to date him. I know I was crazy about kissing him but it was be
Nineteen...Nate's POVI pulled Sabrina out of the office and went to a place where just the two of us could talk freely. When no one is around, Sabrina let go of my hand and let out a laugh.So, what can you say? I act so great, right? I even pretend sad to make it believable for her, she won't believe me if I say it as if I am happy," Sabrina chuckled and I smirked. I just couldn't believe I would meet a woman like her, a total psycho who can do this to her friend. Well, I met Sabrina the other day, she came to me telling me she's Cally's best friend and told me that Cally likes me but I didn't believe it and there goes the plan, she asked me to join forces with her to get Cally, of course, I didn't agree with her, but her reasons were valid and I actually want Cally to be mine, so I agree with her plans.***FLASHBACK***My driver sto
TwentyCally's POVTyping on the computer, I couldn't help but to steal glances at Nate who was busy signing and reviewing the documents of the models. I wanted to ask how he suddenly know Sabrina nor how did they end up being engaged but it broke my heart that Sabrina didn't tell me about it. She was just all crazy about pushing me toward this guy, and scolding me to just start a relationship with him, but she appeared unexpectedly and introduced herself as his fiancee. It was too strange but knowing Sabrina I knew that she has a reason and I wanted to hear all that, why she didn't tell me?"You won't finish anything if you just keep staring at me like that, Cally! Do you have something to say to me?" I felt embarrassed that I couldn't move my face away from him when he suddenly faced me and asked me those questions. I was lost in my thought that I forgot to pay attention to his movement. He looked seriously at me and damn it, I froze and didn't know what to say to him, my tongue fel
