SEB’S POV
I’m trying to get myself busy when my Mom went to my office.
“Do you know anything about this?” Mommy said angrily as she threw a newspaper at me.
I took that and looked. Its a news saying that Sam’s company is taking Bree as their new face for their traveling agency’s new campaign.
“What about this?” I asked innocently.
“Don’t make me a fool Sebastian! Did you ask Sam to do this for you? Why? To get close to that woman?” He said angrily.
“Mom I don’t have anything to do with Sam’s family business. They are the one who made the decision in choosing her as their new face. I can’t do anything about that.” I said calmly.
“But why didn’t you tried to stop them?! Tell me do you still like that girl?! I thought you already love Sam? Is she the reason why you went back her?! Tell me Sebastian! Tell me!!!” My mom said angrily.
“No Mom. I have nothing to do with it. I don’t want to meddle with Sam’s decision. I know she knows what she is doing. I trust her and she trusts me.” I just said.
I knew that my mom knew who deep my love is for Bree. That is why we had a hard time to make her agree to do my wedding with Sam here in the country. She is not convinced with our acts. But she can’t do anything when Sam’s parents already agreed on what we want.
She never hid her dislike for Bree. I also know that she is afraid that Bree will be close to me again because she knew that until now Bree is the one I only love.
Its all in the plan, getting Bree as their new face for Sam’s traveling agency’s new campaign. In that way I can get close to her.
And because of my Mom’s nonstop talking, she spill to me about Bree and Gavin’s breakup.
I was shocked when I heard the news.
“What did you say? Bree and Gavin are done?” I said repeating what she had said.
My mom covered her mouth.
My mom is telling other things but I didn’t care about it anymore.
‘That girl and the only son of the Inarez are done.’
‘That girl and the only son of the Inarez are done.’
‘That girl and the only son of the Inarez are done.’
‘That girl and the only son of the Inarez are done.’
I hear it over and over again as if it were a very beautiful music to my ears.
When my mom left, I immediately called Sam to confirm to her the news. Because she knew it was very important to me. I almost gave her up.
“Is it true?” I asked her immediately when she answered my call.
‘What do you mean?’
“My mom went here and she spill to me about Bree and Gavin’s breakup. Is it true?”
‘A-ah yes.’ She said stammering.
I furrowed why is she stammering?
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I hissed.
‘I… I-i was about to t-tell you. I’m actually o-on the way to your o-office to spill the news.’ I can sense the nervousness in her voice.
I feel so relieved by the news but at the same time I am guilty because it seems like I scared her.
Well I didn’t mean to. Its just that this news really mean so much to me.
That gave me hope.
‘Okay. Don’t bother yourself. I’m loaded with works.’
When I said that, I immediately hung up the phone.
I rested on my swivel chair like a love sick smile up to my ears.
I almost gave her up. I also thought that maybe this is the right thing for both of us.
I could see the joy in her eyes when she and Gavin were together. I envy not because they are together but because it seems like the two of them have no problem. They are free to love one another without hindrance, without thinking of anyone’s approval.
Why is it so difficult for the two of us?
So I’m torn between our love and her comfort. I am almost convince that its better if I will just let her go since she already moved on. Even though it hurts but she was the one who gave up first.
I am willing to fight for us, though it will take some time because I don’t want to be impulsive and do stupid decision, because in the end I want us to be together, forever.
I also talked about it with Sam. She also think that it was the wise decision to make. She even suggest to me, why didn’t we try to workout our relationship? Since with this kind of setup, everyone will have a peace of mind.
I want to be honest with her. I told her that its always been Bree and will be forever her. And no one can replace her or even be equal to her.
I saw the sadness in her eyes when I said that. I was guilty, but I knew I needed to be honest with her. I don’t want to hurt her. And one more thing, we both in love with someone else.
That’s why I make myself busy this past few weeks. I loaded myself with so much work to get Bree out of my system. But I think destiny or whatever you call it will not allow me to move on and stop fighting for her.
That news gave me a hope and it also became a sign that I am on the right track.
It took me a week before my schedule loosened. I was the one to blame for that though, because I was the one who did it.
When all was said and done, I immediately called Bree to ask her out. This is my chance. Our chance.

AUBREE’S POV
After that incident I try to be casual to Sam as I can. And I’m thankful because she didn’t talk to me anymore regarding my conversation with Seb’s Mommy.
I had no one to share my problems with, because I also have no friends to considered. I was so focused with my career that I lost time making friends.
Gav actually is the only friend that I can consider. Though he knew about me and Seb I still find it hard to tell him about what happen. I feel like it will be an insult to him if I tell him about it.
I am currently reading my new projects when an unknown number called me.
Maybe because of my previous job, I used to answer unknown numbers, usually those unknown number were my clients.
“Hello”
It took sometime before the caller answered me.
‘B-bree…’
I froze. Its been so long since I heard his voice but I could still recognized him.
I close my eyes. “S-seb ..”
I’m nervous. Why did he call me? Was it because of the conversation I had with his Mommy? Will be angry at me? Or he feel pity about me?
‘I just w-want to ask i-if you’re a-available tonight?’ Stammering he said.
I frowned. Is he asking me out? For a date?
I just shook my head. Its so impossible. He’s now happy and in love. Its hard to accept it but that is the truth.
“For what?” I tried so hard to be formal to him.
‘I have s-something to tell y-you.’
“Why don’t you just tell it to me now?”
‘Its important. I need to tell you this in person. I need to s-see you.’
Suddenly my heart beat faster. I don’t want to hope but am I guessing it right? Will he admit that until now it is me that he loves?
Before I could drown in my fantasies I answered him.
“Okay.”
After he told me the time and place of our dinner date I immediately went to my closet to look for a dress for the said dinner.
