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.

Summer Outing (2)

"Hop in." Nickel invites Zoey inside his car but before Zoey opened his back door, she first admired his car. Zoey is not a car enthusiast but she still has the basic knowledge for cars and other automobiles. Nickel's car is the last edition of this year. Only the riches of the riches can secure a reservation for this edition. How influential is he then?

Nickel looked at her suspiciously because she was eyeing his car as if she was undressing his car naked. How he wishes Zoey will someday look at her that way. Zoey touched the door too dearly and because of jealously Nickel honk her again which surprised her.

He rolled his side window and asked her if she wants to harass the car until the day ends or will she goes in or not. Zoey put her things at the compartment and sat on his shotgun seat.

Nickel smiled secretly because he just realized that Zoey is already growing comfortable with him driving her. During their first stages, he has to convince her that he doesn't want to look like a private car driver if she will sit behind him. "I'm not your personal driver, Alcantara." That is his usual words to her before. But now, what an improvement? Zoey will initially go and sit beside him.

The two entered the road after securing that everything has been settled. Zoey told him the story why she overslept and Nickel's so-called comforting words are, "you're so dumb sometimes, Zoey. But I like it."

Although Zoey heard his last four words she just let it passed and don't give a comment with this. They continue talking and talking until Zoey fell asleep again.

Nickel could do anything but to let her sleep again. He emergency parked his car at the side of the road and slowly help her leaning the seat so she can sleep soundly. He even stocks a blanket and small pillows inside his care just in case of emergencies like this.

He prepared himself for situations like this because he knew has a sleepy head that when she rested her head anywhere she will instantly fall asleep in just a second. It was his wildest discoveries of her.

It took them three hours before they arrived their destination and by that time everyone from ASC was already playing some activities that the HR department prepared. Nickel didn't wake Zoey up, he went off the car and called May to help hem with their accommodation.

May excused herself after receiving that the Director has come and to her surprise, he indeed brought Zoey with him. She has a stinky feeling inside her after seeing Zoey sleeping soundly inside the Director's car. Although she considers Zoey as her peer in ASC but still why is this can of scenario stinks her heart.

"I saw here in ASC when I finished my meeting and thought that maybe she overslept that is why she missed the bus this morning. Anyway, how is everything else?" Nickel diverts her attention to his question after seeing her looking so intense to Zoey inside the car.

May suddenly lost her tongue in a split second before answering the director's question. "Everything is fine, Sir. Your room is on the third floor and Zoey will share a room with me. Everyone was assigned a roommate a week before the event. And as they are the only two female officers in ASC, it is never a question that they automatically are roommates. As for Nickel, everyone was given to be frightened around him so to make everyone feel comfortable, they have decided that they will give the Director his own room.

After assuring that they will have room to stay, Nickel opened Zoey's door and lightly tap her hand to wake her up. "Zoey, we're here. Wake up." His keeps on tapping and squeezing her hand to wake her up. "Uhmmmm." She moaned.

Nickel eyes darken because of that made him squeezed her hand too tight.

"Awww! Why did you do that?" she asked. Nickel returned to himself after hearing her. "I'm trying to wake you, missy. We are here." Zoey turned her head from left to right and saw May standing in front of the car. She waved her hand and smiled at her brightly.

On the other hand, May also waved her hand and smiled at her even though she slightly feels jealous seeing Nickel cares for her that much.

"May said that you will stay with her in the same room. You can now go and see your room." Nickel informed her.

Zoey unbuckled her seat belt and took her things before following May to their room. Nickel did the same thing and gave his keys to the valet driver before he proceeds to his room.
