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.

Preoccupied, stressed, extremely busy

The firing of the housekeeper instantly became a talk of the town in ASC headquarters. Employees are so intriguing on how did she triggered the utmost patience of the COO and why did it have to end with him firing the hardworking lady.

At the cafeteria.

Employee 1: Ate Marie got fired? Why?

Employee 2: I don't know the entire reason, but they've said that Ate Marie did something that Director Fuentes didn't approve. She was canceled right away.

Everyone talked about what had happened, and to minimize the hotness of the topic the HR department prepared a memorandum saying that to have a harmonious workplace let us practice and maintain the remainders given to us. It was like an innuendo for those who are being too friendly and close to the outsider in ASC.

The peaceful workplace has now become the opposite after the arrival of one person.

That person was also inside the cafeteria when those two employees were talking about Marie, the old housekeeper. Actually, he didn't know what is her name, why would he bother using his brain cells remembering her name, as long as there is no debt of gratitude among them he promised to himself that it's worthless keeping them remembered. For him, his conscience is clear because she agreed to do it in the name of money. The paid her, she does the job. That is as simple as that.

Hearing about how Director Fuentes remorselessly fired one person because of the affiliation makes him wonder, does this boyfriend of her really insecure with him? That it drives him to make someone jobless because he is helping him?

With this thought, Michael relieved that his effect can drive a person crazy, crazy like how Nickel is becoming.

Inside the four corners of the Director's office, Zoey was still oblivious of what had Michael did this time. She was clueless that Nickel fired one accessory to Michael's doing. It was her month end closing week. So basically her packed up schedule become or tighter, and she was asked to finish her reports on or before Wednesday, which is two days after this.

Nickel, who was watching her being disconcerted on her desk, placed her lunch set on her table. Even though he called her thrice, Zoey was so into her monitor screen. He thought maybe Zoey wants him to feed her? Well, did she?

But he immediately dismissed his fantasies and turned his back to her and went to his chair. Ten minutes had passed but Zoey hasn't touched her lunch. Nickel crumpled on scratched paper on his desk and made it into a ball-shape. He was aiming to hit her head with the crumpled paper when suddenly Zoey screamed and slammed her head into his desk.

"Waaaaaaah!" she screamed like a kid whose candy was snatched by someone. After that, a loud bang surrounded the room.

Nickel, on his chair, was shocked by what had happened. He let go of the paper and straightaway went to check Zoey.

"What's wrong?" Nickel was clasped her shoulders and helped her raise her head wherein a red spot was too visible on her forehead.

"Hey! ZOEY WHAT IS WRONG?" He asked once again. Zoey was too disoriented today. She wanted to release her stress that is why she tried to scream and band herself out.

"Nothing is wrong. I'm just sleeping and hungry at the same time." Zoey looked at her wristwatch and see at it was already past twelve. She looked at Nickel and said, "Why didn't you tell me that it was already twelve noon. I've been waiting for this break time since I entered this room."

Nickel was lost to everything that she had said, the only thing he can explain was him not telling it to her.

"Well, excuse me. I already called you three times. Three freaking times. Sometimes I have thought that I should ink myself with your name so whenever you looked at me you will see me calling you all the time."

"Hahahaha! In case you will do that, ink my name to your forehead, so I can really see it all the time."

"Be careful what you wish for because the day I will do that you have to take responsibility to me from making my life with your name."

"Whatever you say." Zoey brushed him like that but Nickel was already thinking it hard.

Zoey was trying to enjoy her meal when Nickel questioned her about her progress.

"Is there a problem with your data?" he was a concern of her because she is always like this every month end closing.

Preoccupied, stressed, extremely busy, that was just all her norms every end of the month. He thought that bringing her here will lessen her talk, but he was wrong.
