“I’ve never felt this relieved and great to apologize to someone.” Tristan said, shutting the door to the hotel room and switched the lights on.
“I’m glad you shared your pain with me. You’ve been holding onto it for way too long. She’s probably happy with someone else, and has a good baby while you still hold on to the past.” I turned to him.
He stared at me poker-faced for a few seconds then chuckled, walking to the bed.
“Where were you? I was worried.”
“Just roaming around, going to different clubs— a lot of men flirted with me, some of them were really hot.” I smiled.
A frown formed on his face but he didn’t say anything, only taking out our pajamas from the wardrobe, throwing mine to me.
“You should have a bath, I’ll order d
“I hope you aren’t forgetting anything.” Tristan asked.“No. I don’t think so…” I scanned the entire hotel room but it didn’t seem like anything here belonged to me anymore.“Are you sure?”“I think so. And you aren’t forgetting anything too?”“I’m Tristan, I don’t forget things at a hotel room— well, except one day I forgot a woman I was supposed to hook up with at a hotel room.”“Are you serious?” I laughed out loud.“Yes, and it’s all your fault. Let’s go.” He intertwined our fingers, leading me out of the hotel room.“How is it my fault?” I wondered.“It was during my 3-month trip to New Zealand.”&n
“Will you make breakfast this morning?” Mike asked, strolling into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. “Yes, I’m obviously doing that already.” I grinned. “For everyone?” “Yes.” “Including the boss?” “Yes.” I arranged the ingredients for the meal I was going to prepare on the counter while Mike leaned against it, not saying anything. I had decided to make a quick meal so it didn’t waste my time because I had to head to work. Gosh, I missed going to the bakery so much. I placed the pot on fire then left to do other things while waiting for the meal. After a few minutes, I called for a man I assumed was a worker here. “Good morning and welcome back, ma’am.” He greeted. “Good m
“Who is this?” I replied, extremely confused.“Is this Hazel?”“Who is this?” I repeated.“Bye.” The call ended.‘Confused’ couldn’t express what I was feeling. Who the hell called someone just to say 'hi' and ‘bye'?I tried calling again but the phone was switched off.I tried to recall if the voice sounded familiar for a few minutes, but it wasn’t. “It’s probably just a stupid prank call.” I shrugged, refilling the glass of orange juice I had placed on the table at the center of the three large grey sofas, opposite his main leather chairs behind the mahogany table.Taking a gulp of the juice, the door was pushed open at the exact time my phone rang again.I answered the call grouchily, feelin
(RECAP: Tristan has agreed to give their relationship a chance and things are gradually going well in their relationship. Tristan said they’ll be going to his parents' house. Hazel received a strange text from a random stranger but hides it.) *** ~ HAZEL ~ Tristan had been frowning so much throughout the drive. He had decided to drive today. I couldn’t do anything but stare at his handsome face all along since he wouldn't talk to me. “You can’t possibly stay mad at me forever.” I chuckled, earning an eerie glare from him. His anger was justified; I had been preventing him from kissing me for the past two weeks, and it was clearly pissing him off. He claimed we were starting this relationship as friends, so… I wasn't at fault here, was I? I realized it was best to not both
~ HAZEL ~My phone just wouldn't stop ringing from my pants pocket. I tried my absolute best to ignore it and sleep some more, but my brain immediately drove out of sleep after thinking of the possibility of who it could be that was calling.I tried to reach for my phone, but my movement was restricted by Tristan's arm around me.The ringing stopped, and I carefully removed his arm from around me, stealthily crawled out of the bed, tiptoed to the bathroom, and shut the door.It was a private number who had called; I received a new phone call from a private number again which I quickly answered and placed the phone on my ear with shaky hands.“H-hello?” I said quietly.“Hi, Hazel.” Indy’s voice swam into my ears.I heaved a sigh of relief with a br
“See? Hazel clearly has a problem with me.” Nikita scoffed, shutting the car trunk.“Who wouldn’t?” Tristan said jokingly and opened the door to the backseat for her.She rolled her eyes and got in then he shut the door, turning to me. “What?”He asked, probably noticing my disapproval.I was trying my best to hide my infuriation, but it just wasn’t working.“So you thought it was best to just make this decision without asking me first?” I said brusquely. His face contorted into a frown so I quickly added sarcastically, “I’m sorry. It’s your house, so you can make any decision regarding it.”I got into the passenger seat and waited for him to get into the driver's seat. He started the car and zoomed out of the compound.The drive would’ve bee
~ HAZEL ~ “Is Tristan still asleep?” I asked Mike, who seemed extremely excited this morning. “The boss still hasn’t gotten out of his bedroom today, so I can’t be certain.” He replied. “That’s strange. He has never slept this late before, as far as I remember. I hope my effort doesn’t go to waste.” “Your effort is really evident. You look way too hot today; I almost got blind when I saw you this morning. Can I have your number, baby?” He said, clearly as a joke. “My husband will murder you.” I laughed and he only rolled his eyes. “As if.” “Oh, we'll see.” I smirked then decided to check up on Tristan. I had made breakfast for him and had tried to dress sexy, wearing a very short, red, hip-hugging skirt with a little slit, a crop top that had a knot tied below my breasts to show off an indecent amount of my c
“Wow!” I exclaimed, placing my hand on her heavily pregnant tummy. “You’re pregnant!”“Yes, Hazel.” She grinned, her sky blue eyes were filled with intense joy.I pulled her into a hug, not tight enough to squish her tummy, but a tight one.“Hazel, is this really what has been making you so secretive recently? Because she’s coming back?” Tristan was clearly very pissed off for some reasons I didn’t understand. “So why did you suddenly return, Indy?”“What do you mean?” I turned to him.“Why the heck are you back?” He was almost yelling at her.“I… uhm… I don’t—”“Tristan, why are you being so mean?” I frowned at him.“He’s clearly still the same.” She
