I could hear murmurs of people chattering and buzzing around us, but I couldn't make out a single word of it, because my entire focus was on the girl who'd been successfully tormenting me from the first day I saw her when were six.
Because I love her.
Because every part of me loves every part of her.
The good, the bad and the ugly.
I fucking reveled and drowned in it.
I knew she was going to come here. I expected her. I made sure I knew exactly where she was sitting. I made sure I would win the race for her. Because in my mind, I still have to do something, anything, to deserve her. To make her proud.
For months I have been tormenting myself with the thought of her moving on from me, however, I felt incredibly proud of how far she'd come.
Ilang beses kong pinigilan ang sarili kong lapitan siya. I followed her everywhere like the pussy-whipped bastard that I was. Ilang beses akong pinagsabihan ng kambal niya at ni Reid na tigilan ang pagsunod-sunod ko at hayaan siya. Leyton had been my only support system towards the entire ordeal of shadowing my girl.
I followed her in Africa with her newfound gang of friends-which by the way I'm so glad about. I even send flowers to Silver to thank her for taking care and loving my Calliope. And I may have forgiven fucking Jethro for having the audacity to steal a kiss from my beautiful girl.
My feelings didn't matter anymore. Whoever made Calliope laugh, I owe them.It was a bitch to follow her when people easily recognize me but thankfully, she never noticed. In fact, my beautiful girl didn't notice a lot of things around her at all.
She never noticed the lingering looks from strangers, men or women, who ogled at her with appreciation in their eyes. As much as I want to bury them alive, I can't even blame them for looking at her. Because fuck, who wouldn't?
Calliope is the most beautiful girl in the whole world. She'd always been the most beautiful girl in the world for me.
Nasa post-office palang ang sulat at painting niya sa pilipinas ay agad na kinuha ko na iyon. I didn't even wait for it to be shipped off here in Monaco. I could'nt wait. Pakiramdam ko ay sasabog ako sa antisipasyon para basahin ang sinulat niya sa akin.
She had said she was trying to get better for me but she didn't even need to do that. Tanggap ko ang lahat sa kanya at kahit araw-araw niya pa akong awayin ay okay lang. As long as I have her, I can get through anything. As long as I can touch, see, smell, and feel her, I can endure anything.
But she also said she was doing it mostly for herself and for that, I'm even more proud of her.
Kinulit ko si Callum na sabihin sa akin ang lahat ng detalye tungkol sa pagkadiskubre ng kambal niya sa sulat at kwentas na binigay ko. Sa totoo lang ay nawala na nga sa isip ko iyon. When my mother demanded where it was, I absent-mindedly dismissed her because she brought it up during the times I was searching for Calliope. Wala sa kwentas o sulat ang atensyon ko.
Had I known the letter and necklace would stain her relationship with her father, I would have preferred for her not to find out anything about it. Dahil kahit gaano kasama ang loob ko noong mga panahon na akala ko ay ni-reject niya ako, hindi ko masisisi ang papa niya. In his mind, I didn't deserve her daughter. And I even proved it when I acted the complete caveman and asshole after I kissed Calliope in her room. Which, I still don't forgive myself and I never will. I will spend my life making it up to her. I will do everything in my power to make sure she continues to choose me.
"Come on, baby. Let's get you out of here," sabi ko sa kanya at hinalikan siya ng mabilisan sa labi bago hinawakan ang kamay niya at nakipagpatentero kami sa mga tao sa audience.
