Let Him Love You First

After leaving everything behind, Zoey needs to go home and face all she have left. She thought time can heal all wounds but after reuniting with her friends, she has to face her mortal nemesis as well as her ex boyfriend. Little did she know that there is a guy who is watching her from a far that will help her mend her shuttered heart. --- To: America Message: You know what? If you thought that Zoey was wrong for treating you badly, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to sit down, relax and talk? Remember that you've been friends since childhood. Reply: Earl it's easy to say but hard to do. Yes! We've been considering each other as best of friends but why did she decide to believe other people's hearsay? For their seven years of friendship, Zoey could say that America is a hard-headed person. Zoey pretended to be someone just to have a decent conversation with her. All she wanted was to know the truth. It started when one of her classmates saw both America and Michael, Zoey's boyfriend, at the mall. At first, when she heard about this, she thought that what was the deal of seeing them? What if they were buying some stuff together? She naïvely thought that it would be better than her best friend was on good terms with her boyfriend. In that way, she can help and understand them if they were fighting. But all of those thoughts disappeared in an instance when her classmate showed her a picture wherein they caught in the act of kissing and holding each other's hands while buying Cinema Tickets. She dialed America's phone number and tried to ask where she was last weekend when someone saw them together. America answered her calmly, "I was at home sleeping. Why? You knew that Mom was mad at me, and I grounded and forbad going outside last weekend, right?" After she had heard her reply, she thought that her response was like a big slap on her face; she knew that she was lying because her friend's evidence was authentic. The photo has a date on it, and it was impossible for anyone to edit or change the said photo because she used a film camera. Zoey thought of it before she called Michael and asked the same question. After Michael had answered her phone call and heard her question, his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat. Did Zoey found out about them? He tried to calm himself first before answering, "Babe I've told you that Dad was still mad at me and ordered me to stay at home and that was the reason I couldn't pick you up after your ballet lesson." Little did he know that his answer was exactly the same as what America has said to Zoey? Zoey started to have a doubt about them. After that week, Zoey found more about their illicit romance. They indeed are having an affair behind her. When most of her friends tried to convince to break it up with him, Zoey finally decided to do it. She then again called and asked him to meet her at the park near our village. When he arrived she immediately said, "Mike, let's end this." At that moment, she was already shredding her tears as she was asking him to end their relationship. Mike wanted to hold her hand but before he even had the chance to grab her left hand Zoey already stepped backward to avoid him. "Z I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. I know I wronged you but please don't this to me. I was tempted, I seduced. I don't like nor love America. Babe, please don't say that." Who would have thought that Michael has the audacity to say that? Zoey was confused about what to believe; she didn't know if Michael was telling the truth or if it was another set of lies. But before she turned around and leaves, she took aback when she saw him kneeling and crying on the ground while asking for her forgiveness. She took them back her words.

"Nothing is wrong I just accidentally deleted my file with saving any backup."

For anyone who is working in an office deleting files with any backup file is worse than a heartbreak, for it was just for Zoey? Whoever deleted his or her file with any back up required them to back from square one and do it all over again. In the case of our little miss accountant, she has no other choice but to start all over again.

"Do you want any help?" Nickel tried to extend his help in case he can somehow lessen her work. With a wryly smile, Zoey thanked him and said that she can do it by herself.

The issue regarding the termination of one housekeeper still haven't reach Zoey's ears and because her entire week is a hell week to be considered, she was so busy to listen to the gossips circling the building.

After Nickel removed one of Michael's tentacles, his other servants backed out. Fearing that once the Director knew that they were helping him, he shall also terminate them with listening to their explanation.

Nevertheless, this flower offering and chocolate giving stopped on the next day and forward.

Leaving Michael no other way to beg for Zoey's forgiveness and love.

On a quiet Thursday night, Zoey left the building late due to she attended an all accounting meeting of all the accounting department of all Sealed Corporation branches.

If you'll go to ask where is Nickel? He had a dinner appointment with one of their dealers. He left the office earlier than five in the afternoon.

After hailing a cab going home, one maroon Pajero followed the cab Zoey was riding. Unaware of the possible danger from the car behind, Zoey instructed the cab driver to drop her off at Serenity Condominium.

After an hour and a half drive with the inclusion of thirty minutes traffic jam at the main road, Zoey hops out the cab and paid the driver.

She entered the Serenity Condominium and all the personnel at the reception area greeted her warmly.

"Now I know where you are staying." Michael, the man who drives the maroon Pajero, said to himself. At least now he can conclude why all his packages and gifts were all returned to him. All because he was addressing it to the Alcantara residence.

"Maybe it would be better to visit her instead of delivering her my gifts. Now that I already know where you live I can now visit you whatever day I want."

But unconsciously, not far from where Michael parked his car and not far from the Condominium, a man with a scar on his face was watching the lady who went inside and the man who is inside his car.

"Check for the slut's place." He ticked out the address of Serenity Condominium. Next to his list is Zoey's unit number.

"I wonder what kind of security system I may hack this time around. Hahahaha!" After stuffing his notebook in his back pocket, the man with a scar looked at the man who is laughing I side his car.

"Two birds with one stone." The man took his Swiss knife out of his pocket and stab the back wheels of Michael's car.

Zoey entered into her unit and grab happy with her and sat on the couch. "Do you miss mommy?" Zoey puppy kisses Happy and cuddled with her for a minute. Happy successfully escaped her mother's cuddles and when to her food plate. Happy drag her food plate in front of Zoey and barked.

Without further moment, Zoey put Happy's dog food and her milk and watched her happily eat.

It was already passed nine when her tummy crumples. She remembered that she also hasn't eaten her dinner.

While scrolling down into her phone for any food delivery service her doorbell rings.

Again, no need to ask who it is because there are only two tenants on their floor.

When Happy knew who was on the door. She keeps barking until Zoey approached it. With her unconcerned eyes, she looked at the man standing there. "What is it again?" She asked.

"I've heard that you haven't eaten yet before you left the office, so I'm here again to your rescue. I brought you some dumplings and Chinese noodles. Bon appetit!"

Her unconcerned look changed into a happy and thankful attitude. "Wow! How have you known that I like dumplings and Chinese Noodles? Wow! Thank you so much!"

For Nickel, he would do anything just to see her sweet smile again. "Uhm! Just a wide guess. Anyway, I will not keep you any longer. Go inside and eat those before it becomes cold. Goodnight." Nickel waived his hand to Zoey then knelt to caressed Happy and said. "Goodnight Baby Girl…" he was looking at Zoey will say Baby Girl.

Zoey then immediately turned red after that. But her shyness also turned to embarrassment because all of a sudden Nickel added words into his phrase. "… our cute-cute baby dog."
