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.

Dinner (2)

"What is so special with this director of yours that makes your father asked him for a meal in our house? Alfie helped you a lot, but he never gave him favor the same as what he did to your director?"

"Achoo!"

Our Alfie, who is meeting his prospect partner, sneezed for three times. It actually made him happy after he had released his third that makes him asked his Australian businessman any number that he thought.

"What was the number for?" The Australian asked as he was confused whether this number will lead him to pay any monetary condition to their deal.

"Mr. Smith just chooses any number from one to twenty-six, then I'll tell you why."

Mr. Smith scratched his head then casually said the number 'twenty-six'.

Alfie smiled from ear to ear after hearing his favorite number. Twenty-six correspond to the letter 'Z' in the English Alphabet. Z means Zoo or Zebra. But for Alfie Z only means Zoekella or Zoey.

Mr. Smith somehow feels chills from the way Alfie grin from ear to ear. His smile will soon rip his face it won't stop smiling.

"Mr. Smith because of this I will approve this proposal and ascend it to my father. No need to explain nor elaborate my questions a while ago. This is perfect for me. Ask my assistant later for the further procedure."

Mr. Smith didn't know if he already hit the jackpot but just choosing a number, to cure his curiosity he asked Alfie, who is already packing his things up.

"Mr. Hidalgo may I ask what is happening??"

Alfie stops what he was doing than sit down and looked at Mr. Smith with is shining eyes.

"Here in the Philippines, once you sneeze three times in a row it means that someone remembers you or talking about you."

"Wasn't it a bad thing if they are talking behind your back? Like Bad-mouthing?" Mr. Smith couldn't stop himself asking.

"Well that would be true but good or bad mouthing depends on who remembers you."

"So how would you know that it's a good or a bad mouthing them?

"Remember that I asked you from one to twenty-six, right? That represents the alphabet as one for A, two for B and so on. Twenty-six is for Z and that letter is the first letter of my amour." While explaining this Alfie saw he reflect the mirror ornament of the restaurant.

He wants to act like himself, but he tried to stop it because he was in front of a business partner. They might think that he is weird.

"Wow! I didn't know that Mr. Hidalgo is a lovesick man. Congratulations with you and your mon amour."

"I don't know. It was all of a sudden offer from dad that day."

The household became busy after the arrival of Mr. Alcantara that night. He arrived with a bunch of fresh ingredients and pastry.

He asked his daughter whether she knew his preference but his daughter didn't know anything.

"You know nothing."

"Maybe you can answer this question now. What time does Director Fuentes leave ASC?"

Zoey wanted to say that she doesn't know because she really doesn't know. Nickel sometimes stays in their office late at night. He stayed they when Zoey instill in the office. He always said that he would drive her home as they are living in the same building.

"He will be out after 6 pm dad." Zoey just estimates that he will be out by that because he is the one request for this.

"Okay then, stay here, and no one enters the kitchen. I don't want one unskilled person to spoil my specialty."

"Zander, I heard you. Don't make me let you sleep at the couch later. I'm warning you!"

Inside the Alcantara residence, the ranking in terms of culinary skills is Mr. Alcantara, followed by Zick then Zoey and lastly their mother, Mrs. Alcantara.

The simple dinner turns to be a grand festive to the family, even Zick, who haven't had any complete sleep for three days, was confused whether he entered a wrong household.

"Mom!" He shouted after seeing his dad inside the kitchen. Mrs. Alcantara was busy finishing her masterpiece, the cross-stitch project that Zoey gifted her.

"Son, right here." Zick saw his mother busy doing her thing. He wanted to ask if she knew that her husband was doing.

"Mom, didn't you see dad inside the kitchen? Or am I seeing things now??" Mrs. Alcantara knew that her eldest child will ask why on earth is his father is inside his forgotten place.

"Your dad is expecting a guest tonight. Take a rest for a while then change into your casual wear. Zoey said that her boss would probably arrive by 7 pm."

P.S. phone update :))
