Greg's POV
It was my duty to follow boss around wherever he went during my work hours so I had to go with him to miss Cruz's graduation. I went there wishing him all the best for boss but who knew I'd end up meeting a person from the past I tried to forget. Ava first looked like she was admiring me then her stare turned cold. But hey, why's she the one getting angry, I suffered too and it was entirely her fault. I mean how should I have known that she was going to confess to Sebastian in the gym room.
Flashback: I was in my last year of high school and had applied for a scholarship at my dream University but that dream came crushing down just because I chose to help a friend. Sebastian and I were tight, we have been best friends since childhood.
On that fateful day, Sebastian told me that he had an emergency and had to rush away. He told me that he had to meet Ava in the gym room but since he can't go I had to take his place. Good thing I didn't have lessons during this period.
I was heading to the gym room but found the principal, gym teacher and the gym students also heading there wondering why there was a 'don't disturb' sign at the door. I entered the room with the rest behind me and the room was decorated like an event was happening and there she was Ava started talking. Wait, was she confessing her feelings? But to who? Probably to Sebastian since she asked him to come and now things are going to take a turn for the worst. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time most certainly with the wrong people.
How could she be that stupid though, to start confessing before turning around, I mean she should have at least confirmed it was Sebastian but noooo she didn't and now it looks like she's confessing to me. I know I'm in a big pile of s*** I'll definitely get into big trouble because of this.
When she was done and turned around she ended up not mentioning the name of the guy. Sebastian...was that so hard to say, regardless of the shock. If only she had finished her statement.
We were called into the principle's office, were lectured, she got expelled and I was suspended and to this day I still donno what I did wrong. She was crying so hard like it was the end of the world and she kept giving me this murderous glare like it was all my fault. Honestly how should I have known that she was going to make a love confession and plus I didn't call the principal, I found him headed there, you guys know that right?
When we left school I got an earful from my parents despite me explaining that she wasn't confessing to me. I know I was just suspended but my parents found that a not good enough punishment so they decided to send me away to a boy's boarding school which was the worst, they said they weren't taking chances..they weren't ready to become grandparents just yet. I spent the rest of my school year miserable and the worst part is I failed to get that scholarship to my dream campus that I've been working so hard to get. My parents even chose the course I must do. With all this, I called Sebastian about the mess we were in but the thing he told me left me speechless. How could he be that heartless, is he still my best friend? I donno but I had to cut all ties with him and I did.
When I graduated from campus it was really hard to get a job not until I met Mr Delavega and we became friends and he offered me a job. End of flashback.
At karaoke, Miss Cruz and Ava drank a lot that they were totally wasted and speaking nonsense. I barely drank because I had to drive. Tristan took care of Miss Cruz and told me to take care of Ava which I totally didn't want to do because that girl sleeping over there is the reason why I failed to do what I love but I should also thank her cuz if she didn't do what she did I would probably not be here. Though why does she look so cute and innocent as she sleeps there but in reality she's a total vixen.
I went to carry her but she turned and opened her eyes and I could see a bit of pain in them. She immediately recognized me and moved away from me like I'd harm her. I tried to reapproach her but she got further away and wait, is she crying? Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she screamed, "I hate you, stay away from me. You're the reason why I was sent away by my own parents, they still haven't let that incident go and hate me now. Because of you, I lived a tough and hard life for five freakin' whole years with my alcoholic uncle but I endured and put up with it. When I come back, try to set my life in order and become as happy as I used to be, you just had to show up and remind me of the past. I hate you Gregory to the very core of my being." she said sobbing louder. I walked walked up to her and engulfed her in my embrace no matter how hard she tried to get out away I didn't let her go. I hugged her tight and told her to let it all out. Why? I guess I feel sorry for her.
When she finally stopped crying, I carried her back to the car and whispered, "I'm sorry" I don't even know why I did that but if Sebastian couldn't apologize, I could at least do it. I looked for Tristan who gave me the car keys and told me to take Ava home and he'll handle Trish. So I left after asking for another car to come pick him up.
Tristan's POV
She was finally going to kiss me at her own will but as if the universe was against me, instead of our lips touching, she leaned to my chest and puked on me. I just couldn't help throwing her down as the hot liquid fell on my coat. I like Trish but I'm also a neat freak who can't stand germs. Trish got a little angry with what I did and said so she staggered out of the bar and I had to follow her after getting rid of the coat. I called out to her but she wasn't stopping she instead started running that no one could guess that she was actually drunk, she run so fast but when she finally got tired I caught up with her and hugged her from behind. Gosh she smells so good.
I held her tightly and said, "I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to throw you down, I just can't stand germs and what I did was out of impulse, sorry." She struggled to get out of my arms and I thought she wanted to get away from me but to my surprise she turned around and put her arms around my neck and I pulled her closer by her thin waist that looks so fragile and was meant to be in my arms.
"Where's that massage you said you'd give me." she playfully whispered. I was surprised but quick to act, I moved my hands from her waist to her butt and started squeezing those cheeks. She slightly groaned leaving her mouth open and I took that chance to get my kiss. I pressed my lips against hers and slowly slid my tongue into her mouth. She didn't resist but pulled me closer and our tongues were moving along with each other.
We were in our own world kissing the breaths out of each other when headlights flashed our way. It was the driver who came to pick us up, why did he have such bad timing. Trish pulled away and I stared at her but then she passed out. I carried her to the car and told the driver to drive to my place. I sat and pulled Trish into my arms and also fell asleep feeling happy.
