Secretly Dating Her (Spotlight Series #1) [Complete]

Chapter 12

Jayde's POV:

"Reeve is really beautiful and talented," one of my colleagues said watching Reeve on the TV screen.

I proudly flash a smile and said quitely," she is. And that's my girlfriend."

I really want to tell everyone that I'm dating that beautiful and talented girl they're talking about, but I know I can't. Perhaps, someday.

"I read about Reeve's article," Dad said in a monotone. "How are you going to address this issue? Our name is involved."

I looked down. Gathering my thoughts and preparing my answer. Our photos together got leaked online. It's not some kind of intimate and cozy photos, it doesn't show any romantic context, but fans went crazy about it and accused Reeve of cheating on that dumb and stupid Kirk.

"I'll clean this issue myself, don't worry." I assured. "I'll answer the interview and have someone to investigate about the person who leaked our photos. It won't happen again, Dad. My apologies." I bow my head.

Daddy sigh and touch my hair. "You don't have to apologize, AJ. You're dating someone in the industry, something like this is inevitable," he said. "I know that you can handle this." He smiled to me.

In the midst of the issue, I contacted Reeve. I called her many times, I sent her tons of messages to know her whereabouts and to tell her that I'll handle the issue myself and she don't need to worry about it.

Reeve, loves her career so much. She value her career and I saw how she struggled to reach where she was right now, and I don't want to be the cause of her career's downfall. She worked hard for this.

A feeling of fear takeover my soul when I thought that Reeve would leave me because of this issue. I sat down on my couch weakly. Tears rolled down my face, a pang of pain penetrate my heart. The thought of losing Reeve in this life, is too much for me to handle.

I can't see my life without her. I can't even remember what my life was before she came into my life; I can't remember life before her.

After I addressed the issue, I moved to my new house—my father's present for me. I cut my hair short and waited Reeve to reach out.

When my birthday came, I almost lose hope. I looked up at the ceiling and thought that it's really over. Reeve walk out of my life without saying her farewell to me.

And then suddenly, she came. When I open my eyes, I saw her standing in front of me. I blinked twice to make sure that I'm not hallucinating or imagining things, but it's real. She's really here.

My face lit up when she greeted me a happy birthday and apologized for what happened. I get up, pulled her for a hug. I'm relieved to see her, to hold her, to have her in my arms like this. Having her with me right now, my fears vanished in thin air. It looks like I'm alive again because she's here. My energy came back, my lips began to form a smile again. I remember I haven't smile for days, even when my Dad gave me this house as his gift.

I forgot to how to smile because my eyes are craving to see her, my mouth want to mention her name, my lips are aching to kiss her. Now, that she's here, everything became all right again. I feel the essence of my birthday because of her presence.

She gave me her gift and ran to the door to get the cake from the delivery guy. I saw her letter above her gift.

My hand trembled and my heart pounding while unfolding her letter.

Dearest Jayde,

Jayde, I can't put into words everything I want to tell you. I can't seem to find the exact words to communicate to you what's in my mind. I'm not really good at words.
