It didn’t take a while to give the housemaid what she bought for me. It does fit me but I am uncomfortable wearing it. I don’t have the courage to flaunt my body because I am skinny and not that curvy like the others. “What took you so long there?” Johnny asked. My eyes quickly searched for Peter and I found him in the pool with the girl whom I said stands out clinging to his arm. I looked back at Johnny when Peter was about to turn his gaze at me. “I was just doing some things. Why? You should entertain your guests, Johnny. Don’t worry about me. I can manage myself.” “Someone already entertains them, Tara. You looked so fucking hot in that bikini. Damn.” I know because Peter is already entertaining one of them. “Thank you, John but I am not confident wearing this kind of clothing. Look at your guests, they looked so fine wearing swimsuits.” I was just saying the truth but the jealousy in my voice is consuming me. “You looked so fine, Tara. Do
They left.“Tara! Don’t you want to swim?” Johnny asked me, making the others search for me.I was about to leave the place but now that Johnny shouts my name, I think I can’t escape easily. I saw the look on Lester’s face, it is like he is telling me ‘Told you so’. I looked at Johnny again, he is looking at me, waiting for my answer.“I will, John, later.”He shook his head. He got up from the pool. The water is dripping down from his body to the floor. He smiles at me, a genuine smile like what he always gave me. “Come here, let’s get that robe off of your body,” he said.Extending his hand to me but I didn’t accept it. I don’t like the attention that I am gaining in this scene. I can feel the stares of his guests and I am not wrong when I met their gaze. “Come on. What’s the use of
"Tara! Can you please lower your music? I am studying here. Just so you know."I walked out of that scene and I went all by myself. They tried to stop me but thankfully, there was a cab on the outside that didn't take me long enough to get out of that place. I already told them that I am okay, and I lied that my head hurts and I need to rest for a while. My clothes are wet because I quickly put my clothes on before I walked out."You can study in your room if you want, Jane. Let me have this moment please."She rolled her eyes at me. "Whatever."She picked up all her workbooks and left me. My mom slept already. She sleeps early than usual right now but I just let her because she needs it as well. Right now, I was the one who take her spot along with her music box. My heart is aching but I forced myself to not cry. I chose this and I deserve this pain.
"Peter!" I hissed when he gave me a quick kiss but acted as if nothing happened. He pretended to be asleep and walked back into the couch where he will be sleeping tonight.I can't react to it anymore because I don't want my mother and my sister to know that someone is here with us, and worse is, he is going to sleep here.One looked for him, I went inside my room and locked the door for safety that he will be going to come here and do something not nice to me.After that encounter with Peter, I feel like I had a good sleep. My mind was just worried about him being alone outside, freezing in this cold winter season. I don’t want to cause any trouble for him because I will be the one who will be at fault if ever something will happen to him and I am glad that he was fine. My mind puts at peace after that. What makes me want to throw him again was that quick kiss. I want to kill him but I can't because I know my body likes his kiss as well.This morning, I woke up pretty early than usua
“Can I have this when you two are done listening to this one?” I asked Lena. We are watching the boys while they are discussing the event that they are going to attend. They will perform there and I don't know if they are going to attend to it because their faces don't seem to look pleasant while listening.Lena handed me the album she and her husband listens to every night. It is a podcast about life and I happened to love the title of it. The title attracts me so I want to have it. I know my mom will like this one because these days, she always listens to something like this. This perfectly fits her and I know she will love this piece. She needs to hear this. “We just finished listening to the last episode last night. Do you really want to have it? Are you a fan of listening to the podcast as well?” I shook my head and looked at the cover of the album. The artist knows how to paint something that is not sorrowful to the eyes and heart but inspiring to look at. I like the aesthetic
There is really no serious moment when they are rehearsing. Their sudden craziness comes out. The papers are everywhere. I don't know if they are at the right age when they act like this. They act like kids. They are rehearsing while playing in between. If there is one person who could be labeled as a killjoy then that is Lester. He closes his eyes while peacefully feeling himself in the corner. I am sure that he is wide awake because he just sit there a minute ago. He just don't want to talk to anyone.Like Johnny said. I should be used to seeing Lester like that."Let's buy snacks and food for them," Lena whispered. She just came back running some errands for the boys. I glance at the time on my phone and found that it is almost lunchtime already. I didn't notice the time because I was busy looking at them. "Okay, let me just get my wallet," I said and went to my seat to get my wallet in my bag. Lena will pay for the snacks and food but I want to bring it for emergency. I always br
“What are these, Peter?” I asked him when I saw the flowers in his car. He initiated to drive me home. I already told him that I don’t want him to drive for me but he was so persistent and all I could was follow him because if I won’t, his next move would make my knees shake in fear. “Flowers, obviously.” I glared at him but he just smiles at me. “I just want to ask for forgiveness, my lady. I am sorry if I let a woman kiss my cheeks. I promised that I only let her do it because I liked seeing your face when jealousy kicks in.” My mouth was wide open when I looked at him. I don’t know why he said that. Did he really think that I was jealous? I already told him that I am not. I was just annoyed with him. That couldn’t be labeled as jealousy, right? “I wasn’t jealous,” I said, stating the fact. I already told him that I wasn't jealous yet he won't believe it. Maybe because he can see the lies in my eyes but he is so annoying. He always makes me mad even by doing nothing.He laughe
The ride was long because of the traffic. I don't know what the traffic was all about but I just slept in between the rides because of my eyes and falling.My eyes wanted to have a good sleep but when I was about to swim in my peaceful sleep. Peter woke me up."We are already here," he says. I waited for him to go outside first before I followed him. When I went out of his car. I jumped out to stop myself from sleeping. I stopped when I saw that the house looks clean and quiet.At this hour, I know Jane would be outside waiting and looking for her friends playing outside. But why is the door locked?I quickly went to the gate to open it. It was open but the entrance of our house is not open. Where could they be? I have a spare key and I open the door with it. “Jane?” I can’t find her in the living room. There is no one in the living room. I went to their room and found nothing. My mother who rarely leaves this house is not here as well. Where did they go? Where are they? I walked th
