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.

Iron hand?

"Don't you ever think of hurting Michael! Neither tries to lay one of your nasty fingers to him. You see worst from worst if you disobey me."

The man puffed out the last breath of his cigarette laughed frantically. He dropped the cigarette on the floor and stepped and squeezed it really hard. "Do you think I will believe you with that nonsensical threat of yours? Do you think that I will buy that from how you tried to take care of yourself?" He threw his arms around him and pint point the fitness equipment laying down on the floor. "Next time you tried to threaten me with your words, make it more realistic for me to buy it, moron."

The man left America's apartment in a swift moment. He thought, 'how will I give the revenge she deserves if she doesn't want me to hurt that asshole?' While stuffing another cigarette into his mouth an idea came into his mind.

"What if I make that Zoey suffer? Will she be satisfied?"

Compare to what America is experiencing after their so-called break-up, Michael is like living on his own paradise. Being able to see his Zoey makes him happy as ever be.

Bugging Zoey's life, I mean, trying to get her back became his life priority. Within two months, a lot of things became a norm at the four corners of ASC.

1. Michael never missed a day in sending Zoey whatever he thought Zoey would love.

2. Also, flowers have been a regular to the nearest trash bin at the entrance door of Station A.

3. Accounting and Administration staffs will soon be diagnosed with diabetes from all the chocolates and sweets Zoey shared with them.

4. May filtering her emails because Michael will flood him of messages directed to Zoey. Her constant answering of his calls wanting for him to redirect him to Zoey's line.

Maybe to the eyes of anyone, these things don't bear any value nor essence to the persons involved but everything that was mention became an eyesore to Nickel, ASC's COO.

One early morning, Nickel came to the office to attend an early morning conference with the head personnel of Sealed Corporation. Upon entering his office he caught one housekeeper placing a bouquet of tulip and a box of chocolates on Zoey's table. It was five in the morning. Furious of what he saw, Nickel slammed the door wide and said, "And you asked you to do that?"

The housekeeper, a woman at the age of forty, was distraught from being caught on the act didn't know what to do because she blew up the important reminder given to her.

"Don't let Director Fuentes sees you."

"I'm asking you! What are you doing?" Nickel wasn't his normal self, although he was already frightening on his daily basis, this time he was like a demon rose from hell.

"Director… Fue-Fuentes… aaaah aaaa-I ju-just asked for pla-pla-place this to Oooo-officer Zoey. Aaaa-I didn't kno-know his reason to do so. Ple-please believes me." The woman stuttering in explain her version to Nickel, but he didn't bat an eye to her while speaking suddenly said.

"Really? Okay then. You can go out." With his calm tone, the woman didn't know what will happen to her next.

After finishing his meeting around 9 am, Nickel called Liao to inform her to give the housekeeper her last paycheck. "Give her last payment. Pay her to advance and tell her to never step another foot in ASC."

Liao, who was clueless for his reason, wanted to ask him but dropped the idea because she doesn't want to be questioned again for not following what she has told too.

After their phone call, Liao asked the housekeeper to meet her at the conference. Liao passed an envelope with cash inside and said, "Sorry, but we cannot have you anymore. I'm really sorry."

The woman started crying and trying to explain everything to Liao but Liao doesn't know a thing.

"It wasn't my decision. It was from the Director's office."

The woman' weak knees failed her body to support her suddenly fell on the floor. She thought that maybe this is the consequences she had for disobeying him not to accept any commands or request from the Orb representative.

Quote with is words:

"It was ASC whose paying for your service, not Orb Corp. I don't like anyone of you accepting any request nor commands outside these four walls."

Perhaps this is so harsh for the collaborator they gain before establishing the headquarters but that was one of Nickel's conditions for accepting and allowing own representative present all day at ASC branch.
