Chapter 14: The StarTrevor Dmitri's Point of View"That's why you shouldn't let your friend become your coworker." I put my hands on my forehead and didn't even bother to say a word."Oh on the second thought, he's not even a friend but your manager." I was really stupid for hiring someone I know as my manager. I need someone to organize all my stuff and shits. Like handling all our finances, making schedules and many more.My record label becomes so demanding that I have to make music every now and then and travel to the world to promote my music together with my bandmates. Hindi na sumagi sa isip ko na gagawin sa akin 'yon ng manager ko. He fucking stole money from me. His name is Jim and we used to be bandmates way back in middle school.I should have listened to Nikos and not hired someone I'm closed with. But shit really happened. Those who will fuck you from ay ang mga taong kakilala mo pa. Damn."Do you want to press charges?" Tanong sa akin ni Nikos habang pinaglalaruan sa ka
Chapter 15: The Cold EveningVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewThis one-week suspension is surely killing me from the inside. I sighed and rolled my body in the bed.I only heard that Nikos went back in the Philippines yesterday. Hindi man lang siya nagsabi sa akin. But then again, nagkulong lang naman ako sa loob ng kwarto ko ng ilang oras. Besides, his job is done at wala naman na siyang iba pang gagawin dito. I still couldn't believe that Dean is dead for unknown reason. It's just so sudden. And Trevor still giving me the cold shoulders. Nothing is new.His purpose here is still a mystery. What I know about Trevor is that he always has a plan. And this is one of the reasons why I liked him back then. He's decisive and he never acted based on his feelings. It's always about logic. Maybe, that is one of the many reasons why I am attracted to him. Geez, lahat naman siguro ng babae ay na attract sa ganong lalaki at hindi rin ako naiiba. He's a genius. Plus, he's really handsome and gorgeo
Chapter 16: The Cold Night Part IIVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewThey say, that life is worth a shot but I say otherwise. Our life has no intrinsic meaning. And yes, humans are insignificant. Natatawa na lang ako ng pagak sa sarili ko habang iniisip ko ang dating ako. Na walang araw hindi nilulubayan si Trevor. I thought that was my life's purpose – to be with Trevor and make him happy in a way that I know. Pero dahil sa kabaliwan ko sa kanya, instead of pulling him to me, I drove him away. My life... has been getting simple and simple and simple... until it gets to nothing.Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla na lang itong pumasok sa isip ko habang naglalakad si Trevor palapit sa akin. He's wearing a maroon hoodie and blue jeans. When I looked at his eyes, I know how tired he is. What is tiring him? Lumabas si Trevor na may hawak na beer in can, boring his eyes on me. His lips pull into a half-moon of a smile. Fuck! I don't think he smiled like that at me for the years I've known him. La
Chapter 17: The Melancholic EntriesVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewI focused my attention to my phone that keeps on vibrating. Remind me to kill whoever this is. Medyo panira sa ginagawa namin. Kanina nga lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas na loob halikan si Trevor, and he happened to kissed me back, tapos magagambala pa ng kung sinong Pontio Pilato itong kanina pa nagsisend sa aking ng notification. Sinabunutan ko ang sarili ko at sinimulang buksan ang aking phone."This better be good," I muttered to myself and click my email account.Dear DisneyPrincess,Hello there! I've never heard you for a week. Do you already forget that I still exist in your life? Or have you already found something interesting to do? Anyway, these past few days my life has been going into a roller coaster ride, in case you are wondering. For some reason, I am having random thoughts and I suddenly thought about you. So, I am sending you this e-mail to let you know that I am still alive. I have a lot of things to say
Chapter 18: A Day with HimVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewHaving a one-week suspension was a blessing in disguise! I never thought that I will enjoy my day without going to school! I don't have to prepare for anything. I'm just looking forward to what will happen today.Napalaki ng ngiti ko habang inaayos ang buhok ko. Hindi ako makapag decide kung itataas ko ba ito or hahayaan na lang na nakababa. I am trying to look fine not pretty and presentable in front of Trevor. Now I finally admitted to myself that Trevor has still this effect on me at kay FrozenIceyCold ko pa talaga unang sinabi."What a lovely day," masigla kong sambit habang pinapalitan ng fresh flowers and vase ni Mama. I am inside her room and she still look the same, weak, powerless, and vulnerable. Wondering how a small body can take all of those emotions at once. What a shame! Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya lumalabas sa kwarto na ito. Konting panahon na lang ay makakalimutan ko na kung ano ang tunog ng boses niya
Chapter 19: The Sky LoftTrevor Dmitri's Point of ViewI lay on my bed quietly and just stared at the reflection of the moon glimmering from the glass doors. I hadn't slept. Ilang oras na ang lumipas at hindi pa rin ako dinadalaw ng antok. I was wide awake and the scene of me kissing that kid still lingers on my mind for a couple of hours and man! It couldn't quite hard to get her out.I'd been vulnerable. And it is something I can't afford. What happened earlier was something I wouldn't allow to happen a second time.Parang sirang pala na paulit-ulit pumapasok sa isip ko ang nangyari kanina. I tried to hold myself back, trust me I did. But I was losing to her. I was fully aware of our kiss but I couldn't stop it. There is no pretense in her and her mouth is soft and eager, tasting of generosity. Take note that she's on top of me, making me feel her soft body, agile tempting. Victoria's scent drifted away from me, sexually uncomplicated. She's just a kid. I keep reminding myself.One
Chapter 20: The Unwanted GuestsVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewWithout any exhibition done, he claimed my lips with full of intensity. Trevor's lips are the most softness thing about him. And I can assure you that. Hinawakan ako ni Trevor sa aking kaliwang pisngi habang ang isang kamay niya ay nasa aking batok. At dahil sa ginawa niya ay mas lumalim pa ang kanyang mga halik.Hindi ko mapigilang mapaungol sa kanyang ginagawa. He puts his entire attention on what we're doing. Our lips melted lightly and passionately. The intensity of our kiss changed, from a slow kiss to something we weren't able to stop. The way he kissed me drained my energy, feeling the heat all over my body, and reveal the excitement I felt.He deepened the kiss, and I easily obliged. Our kiss grows darker, moister. Trevor drew and drew from me with a simplicity that I couldn't be blocked.Slowly, we parted our lips. Nanatili pa rin ang kanyang mga kamay sa aking pisngi. His hands are so warm. Elevating the coldness
Chapter 21: What's Inside the Cabinet?Victoria Abbel's Point of ViewNakita ko na lang ang sarili kong nakaupo sa sofa sa tapat ni Kalev, Severus, at Alexander. Doon ko lang din napagaalaman na galing Washinton pa si Alexander at nag drive pa siya ng limang oras upang makarating dito.Kalev, on the other hand, is staying here for a night, dahil may attendan itong conference bukas. Samantalang si Severus naman ay pagtapos niyang magpalipad ng eroplano ay dito na siya dumiretso.Suddenly, I felt something cold on my skin. Napatingala ako ng tingin at mula doon ay may nakita ko si Trevor na may dalang ice pack para sa akin."What for?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Itinuro naman niya ang kanyang noo na ngayon ay namumula. I saw a small bump on his forehead. Bigla ko na lang naalala ang nangyari sa aming dalawa sa kwarto niya kanina."On your left forehead," maikling pahayag nito at tsaka naglakad palapit kay Kalev at doon tumabi sa pagupo. He leaned his back on the sofa, while putting the ice pac
