I woke up feeling heavy, my sensitive part was hurting too. The sun’s just rising at this moment, I peeked at the man on my side who was sleeping soundly. My face warmed when I realized we were still here on the sofa. He did not even move me.
Damn, Ayesha.
I acted cautiously to get off from him. I immediately looked for the dress I was wearing last night, I did not have a hard time because it was folded to one side. I got dressed quickly even though my bottom was sore.
When I finally got dressed, I took my belongings and finally walked away from him.
We should not meet again.
I thought for a moment I gave him a one last look before finally leaving the place.
"Where are you from? Why didn't you come home last night?" Mommy greeted me and then looked at me all over.
I swallowed and looked away. "I-I slept at my friend's house," I answered.
I could see in the corner of my eye Mommy's eyebrows rising. Who wouldn't be surprised? No matter how drunk I was, I still go home.
I bid goodbye to Mommy and went upstairs—to my room. I laid down on my bed and just stared at the ceiling, remembering all the stupid things I did.Fortunately, I did not say my name, I did not expect him to follow me but it was still good to be careful.
Well, maybe he won't make that a big deal. He's a playboy for pete’s sake.
I deleted all the ideas and thoughts forming in my brain and decided to go back to sleep. I was so pissed off even before I fell asleep my phone rang.
Only one person I know calls me except my family, Cassandra. I punched my cellphone where it was ringing, when I managed to get it I just answered it.
"Can you come into my office?" my friend said with her serious tone.
I let out a sighed. "Give me a minute. I'm going." I simply answered and turned off the call.
I got up and took a shower even though my body was very lazy. I adjusted for a while and finally went to his office.
As I expected, she was in trouble again with her husband's set up. I really do not understand why, why her husband have a girlfriend even though the love for my friend is obvious in his eyes.
As much as possible I do not want to interfere with their feelings so all I can do is to make her think of her feelings. I also want to strangle her because even if she does not voice it out, she have a low self-esteem. We were in the middle of a conversation when its secretary called to inform someone who was looking for her so I knew in that thought that it were a businessman.
I bid my goodbye at her. I was really drowsy so I hurried home and went to bed without getting dressed.
It was night when I woke up to the ringing of my cellphone again.
"Argh! What else does you need?" I whispered to myself and answered the phone.
I immediately sat up from lying down when she immediately greeted me.
"D-Daddy" it was all she said in the middle of sobbing.
"Sshhh.. I'm going, where are you?" I said and quickly got out of bed.
"Home," she answered and I ended the call.
I quickly grabbed my belongings and ran out of the house to find a car. It was only then that I remembered the car I had left at the bar. As I made my way to Cassandra, I texted Daddy to get my car.
A few minutes later I also arrived at Cassandra's house. My knees were shaking as I walked in, I saw a few guests in the house familiar to me. When I finally entered, Uncle's coffin was exposed to me. Cassandra was sitting next to it with swollen eye.Feeling weak, I tried to calm down and finally approached her. Slowly, she drifted her eyes on me. Her tears immediately flowed as soon as our eyes met, I quickly hugged her and let her cry and cry around me.
"M-my father .. please bring him back to me .." she said emotionally. My tears run down spontaneously and I hugged her even tighter. This is all I can do to accompany her.
I almost consider Cassandra a sister and I know she is the same to me. I also became close to his parents so it also hurt me to accept that Tito is gone.
"We ready our self for this. But still it's hard to accept Ayesha," she mumbled as she hugged me tight.
"I'm sorry for your loss Cass. Stay strong bitch, I'm always here for you." I said and caress her hair.
"I know. Thank you Ayesha." she whispered and cried silently.
"Where's Andrei?" I asked because I have not seen him since before. She and auntie were the only ones I saw who were currently paying attention to the guests. Her eyes also showed fatigue and pain of losing her love.
I could feel Cassandra's grip tightening around my waist. She took a deep breath and let go of me, before it was full of sadness but now she seem to be cold.
She looked and smiled at me for a moment. "America," was her sparing answer.
I frowned and stared at her. She shrugged and looked at his father's coffin. "For business," she simply followed.
"Did you inform him?" I asked try not to offend her or something.
"I know Mommy did," she replied simply.
"Something's wrong. What happened?" full of concern I said while looking at her.
She turned to look at me and then smiled again. I don't know why he makes it difficult for herself to smile even though I know how she really feels.
"He wants an annulment, his girl brought me the papers when you left my office." she said that made me stunned for a bit.
He wants an annulment?
She let out a fake smile again before turning to his father. "They went to America together," she whispered, enough for me to hear.
Four days have passed since Cassandra's husband returned from America, his face full of remorse as he apologize to them. Auntie understood that while Cass's attention remained on uncle and simply nodded to Andrei. Although I feel sorry for my friend's condition, I just let her go first, the important thing is that he knows I am here for her.In the days that passed, I told Mommy that I would stay with Cassandra first, because apart from wanting to help untie take care of the guests, I also couldn't help but worry for Cassandra. I was thankful that somehow she did not miss the meal, she seemed to know that she had to take care of herself.
Since Andrei is here I decided to rest first. I didn't interfere anymore because I don't want to get involved in what they are doing. I was walking up to the guest room when I stiffened in my position.
No ..
Maybe not..
I thought I really saw him ..
The man who took my virginity.
Well just looks like I was just imagining it. Probably because I was tired so this is how I felt. I finally entered the guest room where I was sitting and slept.
The next day I woke up from a gentle tap. I slowly opened my eyes and Cassandra's tired face was exposed to me.I tried to smile at her to lighten her heart, she response with a raw smile although it was fake it was okay because somehow and she was trying."Be ready, we'll leave in 1hour" she said bitterly.I got up from lying down and hugged her. It was as if she automatically weakened and just went to my shoulder."This will be the last time that I will be able to see my father Ayesha," she whispered softly.Auntie decided to bury uncle for only five days and this was the last day. I said nothing more and just let her weaken in front of me.A few seconds later she voluntarily let go and smiled at me. "I'll go outside, Mommy and I will just wait for you downstairs," she informed. I just nod and she instantly left.In a snapped I remember the man I shared my body with.Chill Ayesha, in this generation it is almost no longer a b
Two days had past since I locked myself in my room. The food was delivered every time by a maid because I really don't want to go out, I still feel bad for my parents.I can't marry someone like him because just in case I fall in love with that man I will only be hurt.I got up from lying down and checked my cellphone that was almost a few percent.I need to fix myself, I can't just sulk all the time.I plugged in my cellphone and took a shower. I was fixing my make up when my phone rang.Only one can call me when I am here at home, Cassandra.My instinct is right when I see her name at the screen. A small smile crept in my face when I think of her missing me."Hello?" my artistic response while looking at my nail."I'll pay you 30k for this favor." I don't know if she is serious on what she said on the other line."What do you think of me? Poor?" I spat angrily then walked to my vanity mirror to check myself."Well, I just
I almost stumbled on the floor just to get out of the bar. I had not yet reached my car when a strong force pulled me and then dragged me.I was about to shout, but I stunned when I realized who’s dragging me, Daevon.I was back in reverie when he stopped and I was just deposited in his car."YAH! WHAT THE FVCK ARE YOU DOING ?!" I shouted and glared at him.I was surprised when he suddenly kissed me and bit my lower lip before he pulled himself.He smirked at my reaction. "I'm not going to let you drive. I don't want to be widowed early." he said and smiled before closing the door. I saw him walking to the driver's seat and when he got in, I hit him there."You mother fvcking, asshole! How dare you kiss me after kissing another girl ?! What if she have an aids ?!" annoyed, I shouted loudly as I slapped him.I just stopped slapping when he grabbed my two hands and held me tightly. I gave him a death glare, but instead of being scared or shy h
For the second time, I woke up in his room again. I don't fvcking know why, all I know is that after what happened to us last night I fell asleep.Maybe he carried me to his car and drive home. I just slapped my forehead because of my own stupidity.I carefully lifted myself, as before I left the house again without him knowing.I was not surprised when I came home Mommy did not ask me where I came from, maybe Daevon told her that I was with him.Damn it! I really don't have a net escape anymore.I really want to, I want to give him a chance but I am scared. Ivann, the man I know, cheated on me, he can also do that. In the first place he’s a womanizer.I shook off my mind to erase those things. I better not just focus on that until I come up with a plan so that the marriage does not continue.I bathed and adjusted myself as I normally do. I was about to leave when my phone rang, thinking it was Cassandra I answered it quickly without l
Several days had past and I always thanked God that my friend was safe with her baby. Well babies rather, it's fun to think that my friend will have a two baby in just one birth.I heard a knocked on my door before my assistant entered, she was carrying a bunch of red roses. It's been a few days since I always received flowers. Who sent it? The one and only, Daevon Castanio. I don't know if I will be annoyed or happy when he said he will court me while we are not married yet. He also often ate at my home after work. I just found out how rich he is, his company is one of the famous suppliers and producers of wine and various kinds of expensive wine here in the Philippines and abroad so it is not surprising that my parents did not object when I was promised of that man's marriage. It's like hitting two birds in one stone—aside from the feeling that I will be tamed, my future will be better with that man. My family is not poor, nor is it too rich. My family business
I was fixing the cutlery when I heard the bedroom door open. I immediately looked there, Daevon walked out as if he was carrying the world. What happened to this asshole?"Goodmorning" I get his attention.I saw him stiffened and then slowly raised his head to my direction. He blinked several times with his parted mouth.What's his trip?I was surprised when he walked quickly towards me, he suddenly grabbed me and locked me in his arms. I could feel his hot breath hitting my neck causing me to think of something bad, nasty neither.Seriously? Early in the morning Ayesha. I mentally talked to myself.Damn. I also want to question myself why I let him do this to me, I ask myself why instead of pushing him now I just let him get tired of hugging me.Maybe because it was his birthday yesterday. Yeah yeah that's the reason."I thought I would never see you again when I woke
Fuming anger was consuming me when I decided to leave the mall. I could hear Daevon calling after me but instead of turning around to look at him, I went straight to the parking lot and stretched out my hand as I called for a taxi. As soon as the vehicle stopped in front of me, I got inside and left without even batting an eyelash at him.I told the driver the address of Cassandra’s condo and immediately, he was about to start his engine when someone emerged in front of us.“Honey!” His dry voice echoed throughout the open area but I only looked at him, raising one of my eyebrows.The driver didn’t start his engine first, as if he wasn’t sure of what to do and so I turned my gaze towards him.“Ma’am, he might get hit by my car,” the driver said.I sighed, shaking my head and went back to looking at Daevon who was now busy knocking on my window.“Hey, talk to me please,” he begged.It wasn’t that hard to interpret his w
I blinked several times before finally responding. I shook my head as an answer to his question and entered the car, quietly.The door stayed open on my side as he gently moved his head forward towards me. He made sure our eyes met at the same level as he opened his mouth to speak.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you mad,” he started. “It’s just that…” As if he couldn’t continue his words, he bit his lower lip, not knowing how to say it. He yanked his head away from me as he messed up his hair. “Argh! Fuck!” he shouted.It looked like he was having a hard time explaining himself.I smiled secretly in my head. I was now a little relieved and contented with his reaction. I heaved a sigh and tried my best to act cold. “Get in,” I said, trying to look unfazed by his actions.He sighed then closed the car door on my side. He went towards the other side of the car and as he opened the door from the driver’s seat, he s
