~"So, we need to pack at least two pairs of bikinis, slippers, sunglasses, and a hat, and sunscreen oh my don't forget about that!" Lucia was counting on the things she had to bring with her fingers. I exhaled and put some clothes I find appropriate for the beach in my bag. "Lucia, why are you inviting me to come?" Lucia looked up at me and pressed her lips together, giving me the impression that one more question about this and she would really be annoyed. But I couldn’t help it, I couldn't believe that one month into being Lucia's roommate and friends with her brother would make me already suitable for their summer vacation. They're tagging me along on the beach. "Isn't that what my brother and I wanted? Staying here alone is boring. Besides, it's a long weekend, and it's our private island so we can do what we want!" Lucia's excitement was evident, I still can't believe this was happening, though. When we arrived at the airport, she told me that Tripp was coming too and her tw
"We've arrived," Tripp announced. It's a weekday, and Levi's excited to go out, but we have to go to Lucia's house first for the seamstress to get his measurements. I'm not going to have any part at the wedding, but Levi does, so the more reason I can't decline Lucia. She's been nothing but kind to me from the start, and I'm ashamed of myself for trying not to attend her wedding. We've arrived at one of the mansions of the Clarks. I forced myself to be here and believed that I was doing this for Lucia. "Ma, can you hold this for me?" One thing I liked about my son as he was addicted to cars, trucks, and trains instead of the company of his father, which was airplanes. Now that differentiated them more a bit. I happily held the toy cars and told him he could go together with Tripp while I arranged the stuff in my bag. The owner of the school was so nice that he could become the driver of his teachers. But really, he just saw us missed our bus so he drove us to the mansion. That'
I'm certain that Trevor fell first, but I fell harder.My life was suddenly skipped to five years. What happened between those five years? Ah, right. I suffered the pain of life. Now, suddenly, the person who gave me this pain was sitting beside me, staring into my soul as I treated the bruise on his face because of what he did. "That doesn't compare from the hell you gave me," I deadpanned, placing the cotton balls soaked with alcohol on his face. I'm talking about the bruises he got. He flinched and gripped the hem of my shirt. "That's why I'm paying it a million times, I'm going to apologize to you, Sulli, until you accept my apology." I bit my lip to not say anything. There's a possibility that I would cry when I talk to him. It was just not before, and everything has changed. Levi stormed down the stairs and screamed. "Ma! Can we stay here for a little longer? I want to play trains with Uncle Rich!" He stomped his hands on my lap and beamed. "You know what! Uncle Rich has
~ I never thought those words were so impactful that whenever Lucia and I met with Tripp, she'll ship both of us. It got to the point where it was awkward to deny those allegations of Lucia anymore. It's my fault in the first place, I chose the wrong words, and so the one I really liked drifted away from me. "Hey, should we just ride with what Lucia said?" Tripp nudged me. I glared at him and went back to choosing which cabbage would I get, we're on the supermarket, and he tagged along because he likes grocery shopping, and he's the only one available. "What does Lucia say?" Tripp was holding the basket of some grocery stuff I needed to buy. People couldn'thelp but glance over at us because of Tripp's thin white shirt, this was maybe the reason why Tripp became obsessed with white because despite making delicious foods, he also maintains his chiseled abs, doing exercise regularly and playing tennis. "That you liked me, and I shall say I liked you too, and then let's start dating
“Good thing, Yuna and I saw you with Tripp. If it’s other people, I bet rumors will fly.” We arrived at the reception hall, a table was designated for us, Levi was in the middle with Lucia and Richard keeping him company, a host was speaking- cracking jokes- and the audience were focused on him, they didn’t notice we’d arrived, but what I’m confused and awkward about was we’re already sitting side by side, Trevor and me, but his hands still never left my waist, I couldn’t shake it off because I know what I did and some people might be disturbed if I make such big moves. I frowned and leaned at the table, putting my hands over my chin, I like to ask who’s Yuna but his whisper in my ears sends me shivers down my spine, I could see the sparkling wine on the table; I’m going to get drunk tonight. His hold on my waist tightened as he leaned forward to me and gritted his teeth. “Sulli, I’m angry that I caught you having a scene with your ex-boyfriend, I hope there’ll be no other scenes li
Because of that, I got hated multiple times, their mother clearly doesn't like me, and I don't know what their father thinks behind his smiling facade. Although they let me in on their dinner, they didn't let me talk, and I feel uncomfortable throughout the time. I'm glad that I got to beg Trevor to take me home after dinner, or else that would be the death of me. I learned that his parents did a background check on Richard and me: They allow Richard in the family but they didn't accept me, because at that time, I was still in the guise of dating Tripp, and so, his parents think I seduced Trevor into liking me and that I'm treating both his sister and him as an ATM machine. That's the long and short of it. Their looks say I'm a gold-digger, but how could they say that to a girl who's just aspiring to become a lawyer– ah, right, because I came from a poor family and I didn't become a lawyer but instead become a wreck. I think I get it now, five-years ago, I don't like them for bein
That bastard, how could I believe what he said when five years ago it looks like there's more to it than 'nothing'. He had the audacity to lie to me. What a prick! And to think I just realized that after a whole day had passed, enraged me the most. Now, I don't have a chance to confront him with his lie. "Sulli!" Lucia hugged me from the back as soon as I entered the coffee shop– the same coffee shop where we first met five years ago, memories surges in me as I returned the hug and we went to the same table in the corner where I overheard her talking to her brother on the phone. "We didn't get a chance to talk at the wedding! I have a lot to say to you!" She has the same smile as her brother, I can't help but notice the uncanny resemblance, they smile from ear to ear and I got swayed by their charming smile each time. Not knowing that I'm already captivated and was swirling around in their palms. My eyes trailed on her baby bump and I swore if I would get my revenge on Trevor for
~"You're the one my son likes?" The sound of Trevor's mother's voice made me tremble. "I checked your background. My son doesn't need someone who came from a poor family." She sat in front of me and opened her fan. I gaze at my lap, it's not like I'm already in a relationship with his son, how dare she judge me like I'm already engaged to him and was preparing for a wedding? "I'm sorry ma'am, but I think that's a little extraneous, I'm not engaged with your son." "Yet..." she added, which made me raise my head in surprise. She narrowed her eyes and pointed at me with her fan. "What my son likes, he'll get, I believe he's just waiting for the right time, so be prepared, but I don't like you for my son." Woah, I don't know what to say back. She consented, yet she didn't like me, and this whole ordeal was so foolish. "My son is very stubborn, my daughter too, I believe they got that from their father. Once they set their eyes on someone, there’s no stopping them from going all i
