Amellie Cruz
I have a phobia that when he eats outside for dinner, he’ll drive even if he is just tipsy. I don’t want him to be involve in a car accident again. Or should I say I’m afraid that the he’ll remember everything and he will…
“Is there any problem, Amellie?”-nanny Susan. I just smile on her and nodded.
“Yes, nanny Susan. Why are you asking me that question?”-I ask her back. She smiled.
“I can tell that your worried. That must be the accident that happens a year ago.”-she said.
“Is it obvious?”-I ask. She nodded.
“He learned his lesson. Knowing Ethan, he won’t drive if he’s tipsy. He will surely call the driver and fetch him up.”-she said, I sigh.
“Maybe I’m just afraid that when an accident happen again, he’ll remember everything. I’m not ready yet, nanny Susan. I’m afraid with that thought.”-I said.
“That’s normal when we love a certain person. We have fears but promise me that you won’t strangled yourself with that. Trust your feelings and his to you. His heart will tell him if he stays with you or not.”-she said.
“Thanks, nanny Susan.”-I said. She just smile and tap my back and get inside the house first. I just smile and stretch my back. He just drop me home because he didn’t want me to commute as much as possible. He said that there are perverts in subways and everywhere.
“Mom, dad, I wanted to plan something for Ethan’s birthday. This will be his 31st celebration.”
“It’s on your hand, sweetie. Your his wife and anything you plan for him will surely made him happy.”-mom said. I smiled.
“Boys are just simple. But husband’s are much simpler. Anything that their wife do for them even if its just a simple dinner will be sweet for them. Just trust your guts, sweetie.”-dad added.
“Thanks dad. I have something in mind.”-I said and tell them what I have planned for him.
“Hi. You came home early than I expected. I thought you and Peter will be having a bachelor party after your meeting.”-I said. I saw the time and it was just 9:30 in the night. He lay down.
“We did. Sora, Satoshi, Peter and I just celebrate a bachelors party in his pad. We just drink sake and play cards.”-he said.
“No girls? Knowing brother Peter.”
“Well, that is a surprised too. But I told him not to, we can enjoy his bachelor party with the boys only. And we indeed enjoy it.”-he said.
“I see. Go to bed then.”=I said and cuddle him.
Ethan Andrews
She puts a blindfold in my eyes. Today is my birthday and throughout our journey in the road my eyes are closed.
“We are here. I hope you like my arrangement for your 31st birthday, love.”-she said.
“Happy birthday, Ethan!”-they said. We are on our vacation house and she sets-up a picnic themed party. She smiled and look at me.
“Happy birthday.”-she said. I signed her to come closer and she looks at me.
“You didn’t like it–uhmp.”
I held her jaw and kiss her passionately. She kiss me back and I smile on her.
“Thank you.”-I said. I give her more kisses and everyone is laughing and clapping their hands.
“Thank you guys for coming.”-I said. Peter’s parents, Asami’s parents are also here which is my parents friends as well.
“Happy birthday son.”-mom and dad said. I hug them. They tap my back and we started to eat the food that is being prepared. Nanny Susan is here too with her grandchildren.
“Uhm, did you made all the food? You have been busy in the kitchen ever since the morning. I thought we will just celebrate in the garden of the mansion.”-I said. She nodded.
“I wanted to cook something for my husband’s birthday and I don’t care about the time I spend for it. Dad is right, husband’s will be happy on things that his wife prepared for him.”
“Of course.”-I said and put an icing on his nose.
“Hye, that’s unfair…?”-she said. Her eyes widened when I lick the icing that I put on her nose.
“Hey, your flirting too much Mr. Andrews.”-she said.
“Because I can’t help it. My wife is beautiful in every aspect, whoa. I’m not that good guy but how come that I have a great woman beside me?”
“Tss. Sweet talker. Eat instead.”-she said. I laugh and continue to eat. I went to Edmond that is standing in front of the lake.
“Good thing that you came. Your family will be connected to us from now on.”
“I already cut my feelings towards Amellie and now I’m starting to fall in love with Sam especially that I saw how fantastic woman she is. How can she be a great mom even if she’s busy providing for the family. I owe her a lot.”-he said.
“I can tell. Daniel is really happy that he can now live with his dad and mom. I’m glad you didn’t runaway from your responsibilities.”
“I’m not that kind of person. Anyway, happy birthday Mr. Andrews.”-he said. I smiled.
“Don’t be too formal. Call me Ethan.”-I said. We stayed for a bonfire camping for tonight.
Peter Brown
I smiled when I saw Luna enjoying the bonfire camp that Amellie set. Good thing that today is Saturday. I still remember when Vivian came.
“Vivian, I already–nope. We already lost the chance when you decided to let go of me at that time. Yes, I became playboy and didn’t have any serious relationship since then. Yes, up until now I still knew the feeling that I have for you. But…”
“Exactly. So it means that we can still start over. We can still continue, this time I won’t be naive again. I won’t make stupid decisions again. I won’t let you go this time.”
“But I already found a woman who made me realize that I’m not the playboy type. That I’m still the man who wants to commit, to settle down. She is the woman that made me realize that I’m coward if I will add her to women that I only have once in bed. Luna isn’t that girl. She chased me. She made me laugh and smile. She can easily give warmth in my heart and I found things that I didn’t in our relationship.”-I said to her.
“No. Please listen to me, Peter. I am really sorry, I want you back and I’m serious this time.”
“And so do I. I’m sorry Vivian. Don’t try, because I’ll be marrying my woman in a month and you have no left space in my heart anymore. Goodbye.”
I ran away and drove my car to her place. I open the door and I saw her hugging her knee on the couch. She is surprised to see me. I went to her and hug her tightly.
“Please listen to me, darling. I need to explain.”
“She is your first love, the one that your Diary speaks about.”-she said. I knew that she read my diaries and I thought it won’t haunt us.
“She is just my past. When I saw her again, she is nothing but a total stranger to me. I can’t lose you Luna. Not the woman who put me into the man that I really was. Not a playboy instead someone who valued relationship. So please, don’t think that I will be with her again and leave you.”
“Are you sure, I can feel how much you love her through your words.”-she said.
“Sshh. My life is with you and not to her. How can I leave my Luna, hmm? This cute and warm woman who made my world rose again, of course I won’t exchange her to an ex who leave me alone.”
“You said that. I won’t let you go then.”-she said and embrace me tightly. I smiled and kiss her.
“Here’s your hotdog, darling.”-I said. She get it.
“Thank you, darling. Here, have some too.”-she said and feeds me. Yes, I made the right choice. Luna is my future and she is my warmth.
“Peter-kun, can you pass me two hotdogs too?”
“Here, Sora.”-I said and give it to him.
Amellie Cruz
I went out from the tent and I saw the sea of stars on the sky. I was supposed to take a pee when I felt the cold wind and made look above.
“Whoa. This is the first that I saw this kind of stars again. So beautiful…”-I mumbled. Should I wake everyone to let them see this? I saw a shooting star and I close my eyes.
“Let my husband love me forever.”-I mumbled. A warm hug suddenly embraces me and a kiss on my cheeks made me open my eyes.
“Granted.”-he said. I look at him. His arms is on my shoulder. I smiled and kiss the back of his hand.
“I love you. How can I explain this?”-I said.
“There’s no explanation for that because I knew it myself. It is an abstract feeling that you can only show through actions. Just like this.”
“Can you promise me that no matter what truth lies and uncover when time comes, you’ll hug me, kiss me and love me Ethan. I hope you still do.”-I said.
“Hmm… what’s wrong love? Is there any problem? You seems to be weird.”-he said. I just smile.
“Do I? Never mind anyway.”-I said. He won’t understand anyway. Because our situation is a world where he creates as his shield from pain.
“I will always choose you and love you until my last breath. Don’t ever think that truth will set us apart. That won’t happen, Amellie.”-he said in my ears and put his chin my shoulder. Why does it feels like he is Ethan who didn’t have any twisted memory? As if the real Ethan is the one who gives his promise today…?
“Let’s go back inside.”-he said and carry me. When we get inside the tent, he embraces me and made me fall asleep. Let tomorrows determine our love to each other and I have faith that we will stick together forever.
And regular days came back and we are at the meeting room and watch the first commercial launch in several stations about our perfume. Everyone claps their hands but I can see Tyra’s sour look. I just let it slid.
“Wow. That is just a commercial but we can see the love between the two of you Sir Ethan and Amellie.”-Hazel. I just smiled.
“Congratulations to everyone.”-he said and gives us a clap. We smiled and clap ourselves.
“Thank you Sir.”-we said.
“The lunch is on me and your bonuses and incentives is on the way. Let’s see the sales for the first week of release.”-he said.
“Thank you Sir!”-we shouted.
“Ethan, can we talk? Privately.”-Tyra. He looks at me and I just nodded as I give him a sign that he can. They left the meeting room after that.
