With our eyes still locked into each other, I was the first to look away from Axis' gaze. Diverting my attention into something, I just turned to Darrel and smiled at him.
"We are already here at my unit. Thank you for delivering me here, Darrel." When I saw him smiled back at me, I waved my hand and I quickly went inside my unit.
When I closed the door, I just felt the hot liquid that flows down my face. "You're too shallow Yasha!" I angrily scolded myself and just laughed bitterly at the end.
I guess this is the effect of being hurt. You stupid idiot, it's your fault! Why did I like you? Why did I fell for you?
I emitted a long and deep breath. Letting few minutes to pass, I approached the vanity mirror near the door and looked at my own reflection. There were still tears trailing down my face.
"I thought you're going to forget about him, Yasha? You just saw him with that Kelly Jocson and now you started crying!" I feel like a madman scolding myself.
I was sitting in a single sofa while Axis was in front of me. Only the center table mediates the distance between the two of us. Obviously, we were inside his unit. I didn't know how it happened or maybe I was too pre-occupied because of what have happened earlier to the point that I didn't realize that I followed him here inside.I remained quiet and felt like I'm totally a statue here at where I sat. I couldn't move nor I couldn't able to move. Everytime my eyes were meeting Axis' gaze, I end up looking away. Darn it! I can't look directly into his eyes.I bit my lower lip and took a deep breath. I looked in Axis' direction again, secretly, only to notice that he's looking at me. He was leaning against the backrest of the sofa, sitting with legs crossed and was smiling broadly.My forehead creased. "What are you looking?" I rudely asked, raising my left brow, but truth is it's my only way to hide the awkwardness I'm feeling because I don't know how to behave norm
Axis told me that this place was a private island. That's why there aren't too many people. As what he has told me, everything is really complete in all things. The rest house has two rooms and is also spacious. The living room was made of glass wall where in you were able to see the beauty of the sea.In the afternoon, Axis and I grilled the fishes we got on the shore. There are also fruits around. Even though the island is private, there is still electricity. I actually message Aishi that I was here in Batangas with Axis so they don't have to worry about me. After that, I just place my phone to the bed and I never touch it again. I just really want to make the most out of this vacation.The next day, I woke up because of the sunlight hitting my face. I stood up from bed, went to the window, and when I opened it, the blue sea and the green leaves of the trees welcomed my eyes. Gosh, how I love this view."Good morning sunshine!" I greeted happily. I even laughed w
Months quickly passed by and during those months, lot of things happened.Starlight became now the top modeling agency in the country. They were already training teen model ages 13 and above which is quite amazing and it's an opportunity for me to be one of those trainers who train them.As for the mean time, I'm having my break time in showbiz industry. The restaurant was doing well too. There were times that we're encountering different problems because of some customers, but we always make sure to do our best to fix everything."You think all of these are okay now?" I asked Aishi after putting what I cooked in a flat circle plate.We've accepted catering because the granddaughter of one of the most famous artists which is Mrs. Gina Malabar will be celebrating her debut and luckily, they chose our restaurant. Who am I to not accept it, right? Besides it's a great privilege for us as well to the restaurant itself to make its own name."Yeah, don'
After fixing so many papers on top of my table, I turned to my side and saw Axis busy watching on what I'm doing. Oh, I almost forgot that he's here.I looked at him and arched my brows. "Why are you still here?""Why? Don't you want me to be here?" he asked innocently."Of course not!" I immediately refused and I saw how smirk formed on his lips. Darn! "I... I m-mean... yes... uh... no..." With my voice stammering, Axis adjusted his seat and addressed me properly."Is it that hard for you to admit that you want me here woman?" he teased, wiggling his brows."It's not like that!" I nagged, defending myself. "You're not doing anything here anyway, why don't you just go to your office, then?" I abruptly changed the topic."Visiting you, watching you, and being with you. So, for you am I still doing nothing?" he asked staring straight at me. All I could do is to avoid an eye contact with him. I really can't stand his stares especially since he's just
"What do you mean postponed?"[The photoshoot for today was postponed.] Aishi, who's on the other line answered back. My forehead furrowed. Why am I not informed about it? And why was the photoshoot postponed?"Why is that?" I asked curiously.[I don't know. That's what the photographer told me.] I nodded even though I knew Aishi couldn't see me. Why so sudden? What's the reason, then?After that call, I immediately put my phone down. I already dressed up. I was supposed to go to the place where the shoot would be held but then I was told that it was postponed. What should I do now?Without thinking much, I took my phone again and stormed out of my unit. When I got off the elevator, I went directly to where my car was parked, went inside it and started the engine. I don’t know where I’m going. I just found out that I'm already in front of the building with the big initials AC on its top.Oh! Averion Company? I stopped the car and got out, and went
True to Axis' words, we traveled at 3 in the afternoon. After three hours and a half, we arrived in Batangas. Before going to the rest house, we first bought some groceries and such that we will need.As we went to the seaside, there was a boatman supporting us. After minutes of paddling, we went off the boat as we arrived at Axis' private rest house. Long shoreline complete with white sand welcomed us. I missed the breezy feeling in this place.We placed our things and everything on top of the table. Later, I went inside the room I used before and there I change my dress."Go get change. I'll be the one to cook." I told Axis. He hasn't change yet since we arrived here. He just went straight to the kitchen to cook because it's already seven in the evening.Axis did what I told him and he let me cook what he has started in the kitchen. I just heard him turn on the television in the living room. Minutes of cooking, I called him so we could eat together.N
We went deeper to the sea and then we went up together. Both of us were panting, needing air because of the time we spent under the sea. While Axis is dragging me earlier, we didn't realize that we reached the middle of the sea. In our spot from here, the rest house is too small to look at. Because of Axis' doings, we have come a long way here."Let's go back." We started swimming again to get back to the sand. My body felt tired as we got back to the rest house. Axis offered me a towel and I took a bath to get dressed."Tired?""Yeah." We just had our dinner after that and we fell asleep quickly due to the fatigue in our bodies.The next day I woke up late. Morning sunshine greeted me. Wearing my robe, I went to the glass window and examined the clear sea below. After that, we had our breakfast together.Axis and I have been here for almost a week now. We indeed had so much time to refresh and relaxed ourselves. Thanks to him for bringing me here. Tomo
I sat at the dining table while staring at Axis with his back turned. My elbow rested on the table while my left hand was on my chin, watching him.We're here in my kitchen. Axis insisted on cooking. When he came home from work, he went straight here. He just removed his long sleeve and coat. Now he is wearing only a white sando, slacks and a black apron.Every time he moves, his mucles flex. His arms became more and more tense. Back when we were in Batangas, he also cooked. The way he moves inside my kitchen, I'm wondering if he also loves cooking. I just don't know if he just knows how to cook or he's really good at it.I love you Yasha Reese. That words of his suddenly cross on my mind when I remember what happened in Batangas. My face instantly flushed red. Until now I still can't believe what happened there and it is so hard to absorb everything especially that we are now officially on. Gosh! I can't help but smile. This man was mine now.As I fantasized
