Especially Hera. That girl is beautiful but her attitude is the opposite or is she just treating me like that because she doesn’t like me?
He looked down at the tattoo on his left arm. There is no on the right breast. It has a tattoo but I can’t see it clearly because I’m not wearing my glasses and I also removed the contact lens that Aunt Herma gave me. There’s so much going on that I can’t even remember everything.
They wouldn’t allow me to wear glasses because they said it didn’t fit the style of the clothes I was wearing. So I bought contact lenses. Where are my glasses? I hope it’s just in my stuff.
I didn’t know he had a tattoo even before. I didn’t even see that when something happened to us because he didn’t let me take his clothes off.
And I’m too pleased to even look or focus on his body because all the time my eyes are closed while doing it.
“Like what you see?” He said chuckling.
“Stop it..” I promised shyly.
I grabbed the bid size shirt near the lamp table and wore it.
He started to look for his clothes in the closet. While he was getting dressed, I turned around, I decided to organize my things.
“What are you doing?” He asked. “Fixing things.” I answered without looking at him.
“What I mean is why are you doing that?” He asked next. “I’ll be home later. I still have work to do.” I said still without looking at him while packing my things. While I was fixing it, I saw my glasses. It’s good to keep it aside.
Really, Fertine? Do you want to go home?
I shook my head.
I also pulled out my cellphone from the outlet.
I checked my messages.
I looked for mom’s text but still nothing.
I opened Kirk’s message.
Kirk:
Hey, why don’t you come in? Boss is looking for you. Didn’t you say goodbye? Very angry because no one could find a replacement for you right away, there were just as many people because it was Friday, so the work was doubled. You look dangerous.
Reading Kirk’s test made me nervous.
Looks like I’ll lose my job.
To Kirk:
I’m sorry. I will talk to Sir. Thanks for saying.
I haven’t taken my eyes off my cell phone before it replies right away.
Kirk:
Whatever reason you didn’t say you weren’t coming in is valid. At least you would have told me. I was the one who let you in here, I wish I could have said.
I didn’t reply to his text. Now I have a reason to go home right away because I have work to do. I can’t be fired because I only have a small source of money to spend on a daily basis.
“No, you’re not going home.” I turned to Wilder when he said that.
“I can’t stay here anymore Wilder. I didn’t inform my boss that I won’t be coming in, I’ll definitely be fired if I don’t show up later.” I said trying to make him understand what I’m saying.
“I will pay for your time. Just tell me if you want it double and I will do it.” He said. He just doesn’t seem to have the money.
Since he is not the one who is struggling for that.
“It’s not possible, Wilder. I can’t rely on you just because something is happening between us. You’ve done too much for me.” I said.
He didn’t say anything.
“You even bought me clothes and shoes.” I’m next. “That’s nothing. I told you that I will help you change. So don’t go home.” It promised.
“It’s not possible!” I raised my voice. I saw his jaw clenched slightly while staring at me with his bloodshot eyes. I just saw what it looks like now.
“Anyway, you got what you wanted from me, so that’s it.” My eyes widened when he said that. “W-what are you saying?” I asked wonderingly.
“If it’s about the stuff you bought me I’ll just remind you that I didn’t ask you to buy me those.”
He walked towards me. “ You have captured my attention and heart Fertine. So now you are going to leave me?” He said without any emotion.
What does it say?
Attention and his heart? I got?

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about Wilder.” I said while looking at him
“Yeah. You don’t know what you are doing to me.” He said with sadness in his voice.
Am I correct? There was sadness in what he said.
He wrapped his arms around me, caging me in his chest and muscles. “W-wilder…” I promised.
My face is resting on his shoulders. “Let’s leave the town.” He said.
I lift my head.
Is he serious
“W-what are we going to do? Then you know it’s not possible. I have work…” He pulled away from the hug. “Quit your job.” It promised.
My eyes widened with what he said. “What?! No. I need this job. I’m not like you who’s rich… who doesn’t need to work and struggle for anything.” I said.
He stared at me. “You don’t need that job anymore. I’m here. I will handle your expenses.” He said firmly. “You know I don’t understand you, Wilder. I know it’s all going too fast. I’m even confused as to how we got into this situation.”
“Let’s take a vacation so you can think about us.” He said. “
“We have school on Monday, Wilder. We can’t take a vacation yet, it’s not that easy to take a vacation. Then we have mid terms to worry about.” I said.
“I can take you to Palawan in just an hour. It’s not that hard when you are with me, Fertine. I have ways and money.” He said. “That’s the problem Wilder, you have money, you don’t need to worry about what you’ll spend after all.”
“I said, I will handle your expenses. Can you stop thinking about what you need to do for a while Fertine? Prioritize what you want first before anything else! Follow your heart and not your fucking smart brain.” He said furiously. It went away for a little while.
As I opened the door to my small apartment, I never expected to be met with a sight so astonishing. There, standing before me, was a display of sheer opulence that took my breath away.
The room was adorned with countless bouquets of vibrant, fragrant flowers, their petals delicately arranged to create a symphony of colors. Sparkling candles flickered in every corner, casting a warm glow that danced upon the walls.
The air was filled with the intoxicating scent of exotic perfumes, evoking a sense of enchantment that enveloped me entirely.
And then I saw him, the man responsible for this grand spectacle. He stood tall, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of excitement and adoration.
In his hands, he held a beautifully wrapped box, its golden ribbons shimmering under the soft lighting. It was as if time had frozen, and all that mattered in that moment was the overwhelming feeling of disbelief coursing through me.
I was a girl accustomed to a life of simplicity, finding joy in the little things that often went unnoticed. But this, this was beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
It was as if he had plucked the desires from the deepest recesses of my heart, bringing them to life in the most extravagant manner. I couldn't fathom how he knew, how he understood the depths of my desires so intimately.
As he approached me, a smile played at the corners of his lips, his eyes never leaving mine. With a tenderness that was both captivating and overwhelming, he handed me the box. I gingerly untied the ribbon, my fingers trembling with a mix of curiosity and awe. The anticipation swelled within me, reaching its crescendo as I lifted the lid.
What lay before me was a sight that made my heart skip a beat.
Nestled within layers of satin lay a necklace, its intricate design a testament to the craftsmanship of the finest artisans.
The jewels glimmered in the ambient light, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors that mirrored the emotions swirling within me.
But it wasn't just the material extravagance that left me stunned.
It was the realization that someone cared enough to bring such beauty into my life.
It was the understanding that my happiness mattered to him, and he was willing to go to great lengths to show it.
The gestures, the grandeur, it all overwhelmed me with a profound sense of appreciation and gratitude.
In that moment, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions—joy, astonishment, and a touch of trepidation.
How was it possible for one person to shower me with such lavish gifts and affection? Would I ever be able to reciprocate the overwhelming display of love and adoration that he had shown me?
As I stood there, captivated by the opulence surrounding me, I realized that this wasn't just about the extravagance itself.
It was about the connection we shared, the way he had taken the time to understand my deepest desires and make them a reality.
It was about the beauty of being seen, valued, and cherished beyond measure.
In that moment, as I looked into his eyes and saw the genuine love and sincerity shining back at me, I knew that this was the beginning of a journey—a journey filled with surprises, passion, and a love that defied all expectations.
And as I basked in the opulence of his gestures, I couldn't help but embrace the uncertain yet thrilling adventure that lay before me.
