All The Love, -P

Dani

The drive back home was silent. I was silent. Germaine and Tori know me too well when I am silent. My silence is deadly, and they don't want to see it right here, right now. The air inside the car is suffocating.

I inhaled deeply, and exhaled all of the air I could let go. I badly need to calm myself, but I couldn't. I got a little calmer when I saw our beige color house. Germaine parked the car in front of our lawn. I went out and felt relieve when I finally inhaled fresh air, but it still didn't changed the fact that I'm still frustrated. I went inside and was greeted by the butler. Too bad I'm not in a good mood right now. I ignored him and went to my bed room. I threw my stuff on the floor and so as my glasses that made its glass shatter into pieces.

I screamed in frustration. I heard a small knock on the door and Tori and Germaine came in.

"I called the private investigator. He said he will call us as soon as he finds out who posted the photos." Tori said.

"And I also called Sammy to delete all the photos before your parents finds out." Germaine said.

"I've never been called in my life with such disgusting names. Desperate woman. Prostitute. Slut. My face fits my ugly personality. Innocent outside but wild in the inside." I exclaimed. Damn! I already had enough distraction because of Jackson, I don't want another one because of Patrick. My high school life is already a living nightmare. Now, I think it's going to be a living hell. Fuck those people who don't know how to use their brain right!

"I don't get it why people are so judgmental." Germaine snorted. "But what I don't really get is why Patrick's face was so close to you. It's like he was going to kiss you."

"Care to explain." Tori said. I told everything what happened, especially the part when Patrick whispered on my ears. I shivered as Patrick's voice passed by on my mind. He sounds so sexy. Snap out of it Dani, how can you still think of his voice? You have some issues to fix right now you know.

"Whoa. I could imagine him whispering to you. He sound so sexy." Tori said while Germaine was still in shock, trying to sink everything up. We heard a small knock on the door. Germaine opened it.

"Miss Maxine, someone is looking for you." Our butler said.

"I'll be there in a minute." I said before he left.

"Are you expecting someone Dani?" Germaine asked and I just shrugged. I took off my clothes and changed it with a tank top and shorts and tied up my hair into a messy bun. I immediately went out while Tori and Germaine followed.

My temper boiled up as I saw who was waiting for me. Speaking of the devil.

"What are you doing here?!" I said and stomped towards him. "You get out of here right now before I kill you!" I exclaimed while pushing him to the door.

"Whoa there. Hold up. Did I do something wrong?" Patrick said like an innocent man.

"Tori hand him the phone." I demand. Tori grab her phone in her pocket and gave it to Patrick.

Patrick's aura changed, his eyes are now full of anger. He almost smash the phone on the floor, good thing Tori took it immediately away from him.

"Who posted this photo?" Patrick said in a dangerous low tone voice. I immediately placed my hand on his shoulder, his breathing calmed.

"No one dares to call you names Maxine." He sigh.

"Sammy called and he said he already deleted all the photos and good thing your parents hasn't seen it yet." Germaine interrupted.

"Just don't mind those people around you. They don't know who you are. Don't worry, I'm always here for you." I froze from what Patrick said to me. Just like what was written on the letter.

"Maxine?" He sigh. "I know what you're thinking. I know you think that I'm just playing you around, well in fact I'm not. I'm serious that I'll be always here for you no matter what." I froze again. Is he P? Impossible, but what he said earlier is the same as the letter I had received today. Well he could not be P, but his name starts with P. Is he really P?

I went back to reality as I felt something warm wrapped around me. Patrick is hugging me.

"Thanks, Patrick." I said.

"Are we still needed here?" Germaine asked and I heard Tori chuckled. I immediately let go of our hug.

"What are you doing here Patrick?" Tori changing the topic.

"Oh yeah. I'm here to give Maxine my present." He said and handed me a rectangular box. "I remembered how much you like to have a watch that its face is a panda. So I made you one, but the difference is that I engraved you initials."

"Wow" was all I could utter. "It's beautiful." It has cute panda shape with my initials engraved with diamonds. DMRH.

"This is too much Pat." I said.

"Nothing's too much for me when it comes to you. For me that watch is still not enough." Patrick said.

"Thanks Pat." I said.

"Seriously. Are we still needed here?" Tori asked and I laughed.

"Why don't you eat lunch with us Patrick?" Germaine asked.

"I won't say no because I'm already starving." Patrick said and I laughed.

We all headed to the dining area just in time the maids served our meal. I sat to my usual spot while Patrick sat next to mine and Germaine and Tori across us. Then we started shoving our lunch.

"You know what. You guys can become a perfect couple." Germaine blurted that made me choke to death. Good thing Patrick handed me a glass of water immediately.

"Germaine!" I said and gave her a glare, then I heard Patrick laugh. I immediately turned to him and glare that made him stop laughing.

"Stop it Ger. Don't push her." He said and cleared his throat. "Don't worry, we will get there soon." He added and winked at me, that made these two girls in front of us laugh.

"Nice one Pat." Germaine said.

"Don't worry. We will wear our 3D glasses, and prepare some popcorn to watch you guys become a couple." Tori said.

"Why are you blushing Maxine? Don't be angry. I'll ask you soon." He said teasingly.

"And what makes you think I'll give you my YES?" I retorted that made him silent for a while.

"Good question." He said and rubbed his chin as if he is thinking deeply.

"Maybe because I'm handsome. I have a drop dead gorgeous body. I am smart. And we knew each other for so long. Oh and we have a great business which could become a great partner to your family's business." He answered confidently.

"Are you sure that's enough for me to give you my big YES?" I retorted. Germaine and Tori were silent. They were paying attention like they are watching a live film.

"Maybe. But if you will still not give me your yes then I could just arrange a dinner with our family and ask them for an arrange marriage, I can make you fall for me once we get married. And also I'm here for you to make you feel that there is always someone who will stay by your side no matter what." And I ran out of words after he said that.

Same thing what P wrote in the letter. Is it possible his P? His first name starts with P. Is it really possible? But why would he send me letters if he could just tell me in person. Is this his way of telling me he is P? But knowing Patrick, he is not the type of guy who sends letters and make it obvious that it is form him. Damn! I am so confuse right now.
