Olivia felt relieved after bursting into tears. She was also a bit embarrassed for crying so suddenly and right in front of Conrad. She lets go of Conrad and wipes her tears away with her hand. Conrad gives her his handkerchief and tells her to use it to wipe her tears and to blow her nose.
“Feel any better?” Conrad asked.
“Yeah, I do,” Olivia answered. “I guess I needed that.”
“Look, whatever it is you’re feeling at any day, you can always open up to me about it.” He said. “Or maybe I can comfort you if you just want to cry or anything,” He continued. “And it’s fine if you can’t tell me right away. I just want you to know that I’m always here if you need someone to talk to.”
“Thanks for being a good friend, Conrad.” She said as she gave Conrad another hug.
After they hugged each other, Olivia gives Conrad’s handkerchief back. But Conra
A week has passed since the incident happened. The two never talked to each other nor went to class. Both of them took some time off to rethink everything, especially Conrad. He knew that he never meant to say any of that. It was a difficult decision to make since he was protecting his relationship with Jaiden. And for him to protect it, he knew that he had to break Olivia’s heart so that he could be with her. But, even if he did get to protect it, he still regrets breaking Olivia’s heart. He knew that she doesn’t deserve any of that, she’s a great person, yet he did it anyway.Meanwhile, Olivia regrets confronting her feelings towards Conrad. She thought that maybe it would be okay for Conrad to hear it, but instead, she received a thousand stabs by Conrad himself. She never expected that to happen since they put their problems aside and they were perfect partners for each other. Aside from that, they were getting closer, as if they were more than fri
While class is in session, Alfred went into deep thinking, not realizing that he wasn’t listening anymore. He just couldn’t face the fact that Olivia just ignored Conrad earlier. He thinks that maybe what Conrad said to her did hurt her badly. And because of that, Olivia pretended as if Conrad never existed. He starts to have a hard time wondering if the two of them can stay as friends or probably never see each other again because of it. Break time occurred, and Conrad excused himself to use the restroom. Alfred wanted to come with him and talk to him but didn’t go through with it after seeing Conrad’s regretted look. He also wanted to talk to Olivia as well, but she is busy talking to Chef Austin, asking about what she missed in class while she was gone. He decides to follow Conrad instead and try to talk to him regarding him apologizing to Olivia. Meanwhile, in the men’s restroom, Conrad splashed himself with water to realize if what happened earlier was real or n
As the glistening snow falls on the city of Philadelphia, people from all over the city prepare for the most joyous time of year, which most people like to call, Christmas. The one holiday where people would get together with their friends and families to celebrate this momentous occasion. Wherein they could enjoy a cup of cocoa by the fireplace, set up a Christmas tree and fill it with ornaments, drink eggnog with all their friends until they had enough, and most importantly, receive and give gifts. But on this momentous occasion, Conrad decided to do something different this year, along with his friends and family.It was a snowy morning. Conrad and his friends, Connor, and Jaiden were busy brainstorming ideas for their special surprise. They decided on treating the birds in nearby bird rescue.“Okay, what made you think to do this kind of thing at this time of year?” Connor asked.“Well, remember the time when Phili got out of his cage accid
Once Chef Austin dismissed his class, he asks Conrad and Olivia to stay for a private conversation between themselves. After hearing that, they stayed in their seats and waited for everyone to leave the room before approaching Chef Austin. Conrad told Alfred that he can go home first since talking to Chef Austin might take a while, and he didn’t want for him to wait outside. Alfred agreed, but before he leaves the room, he whispers to him that he should try to talk to Olivia after their little chat with Chef Austin later. Conrad agreed by saying that he’ll try talking to her once they're done talking to Chef Austin.Once everyone else left the room, Chef Austin walks up to them with a serious yet worried look on his face.“Do you know why I wanted to talk to you guys?” Chef Austin asked.“Is it because that we missed a week worth of lessons?” Olivia guessed.“Yes, but there are two more things…” Chef
Chef Austin suddenly shows up and interrupts Conrad and Olivia’s moment. The two felt embarrassed after getting caught by Chef Austin himself. Words weren’t coming out of their mouth, and both started to blush a bit. Chef Austin, on the other hand, was surprised to see the two making out just outside the building.“I’m sorry to break your moment, but it’s better if you guys do it somewhere else.” Chef Austin said. “It’s a good thing that I caught you and not guidance,” He continued. “Or else the two of you are going to be in big trouble.”“We’re sorry for that, Chef Austin.” Conrad apologized. “We promise that it won’t happen again.”“Now, go somewhere where you lovebirds can have fun without any disturbance.” Chef Austin said jokingly as he went on ahead.“Sure thing…” Olivia agreed shyly, as she was still recovering from t
The following morning, Conrad was chilling in the living area with a cup of coffee in his hand. He didn’t get to go back to sleep after writing an entry in his mental journal. Even when he wrote what he remembers in his dream, he couldn’t stop thinking about it.Alfred goes out of his room and notices Conrad up so early in the morning. He also notices that Conrad hasn’t slept after seeing him looking drowsy.“Good morning Conrad!” Alfred greeted.“Hey, good morning!” Conrad greeted back.“You’re up early…” Alfred said worriedly knowing that something is bothering Conrad.“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep after waking up in the middle of the night…” He said anxiously while scratching the back of his head. “You’re going out for a run?” He asked noticing his athletic clothing.“Well, since you’re up early, you want to join me for a ru
By the time Conrad and Alfred arrived in their apartment, Conrad was glad that Mike visited him. They let Mike settle down in the living area and told him to feel comfortable while he waits for Conrad to freshen up. But before he freshens up, he prepares Mike a cup of freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen. Once he's done making his coffee, he approaches him to give him the coffee.“I can’t believe you would visit me on your own,” Conrad said as he hands Mike the cup of coffee. “Not that I have no trust in you or anything,” He continued. “It just seems like you and mom are inseparable ever since I knew you guys we dating.”“Well, you’re not wrong there.” Mike agreed.“Where’s mom by the way?” Conrad asked.“You’re mom has a meeting with her new client right here in New York,” Mike answered. “She’s actually the one who planned to visit you while we&r
While they were enjoying their brunch, Elizabeth questions them about their conversation earlier out of curiosity. “Well, I’m going out on a date this Friday night,” Conrad answered nervously. “And Mike gave me some tips to prepare myself…” “That’s great!” Elizabeth said excitingly. “With Jaiden?” She asked. “I know you two were made for each other,” She said. “Wait, who’s Jaiden?” Mike asked out of confusion. “I thought you were going out with a girl named Olivia,” “He shared his first kiss with her,” Elizabeth answered, leaving Mike surprised by the thought that Conrad is going to date someone else. “But, who’s Olivia?” She asked. “She’s the girl I’m dating this Friday night,” Conrad answered. “We met at culinary school…” “Did something happen between you and Jaiden?” Elizabeth asked. “Nothing happened between us,” Conrad said. “I just thought that maybe it’s better if we stayed as friends.” He continued. “That way we could s
