Yeah, the song attached here is an old one, John Lennon, but just a trivia, dear readers, this is actually the song that inspired me to create my Nigel Joaquin Sarmiento. Everything in this song explains why he was kind of irritating mostly during the first part of this book. If you haven't heard JEALOUS GUY yet, then, I suggest you listen to this before or after reading this chapter. Enjoy!

JEALOUS GUY

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
No, no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
No, no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
Watch out, I'm just a jealous guy
Look out, baby, I'm just a jealous guy.

~~~ CHAPTER 52 - MONSTER ~~~

Really a busy man, Nigel had to attend to a lot of things in the office. Though he wanted to spend the whole day with me, he went to work anyway.

The next day, as we agreed, the two of us flew to the South. Before I returned to my apartment there, he showed me his place. I was surprised to know that he had a penthouse suite in the South where, he said, he'd stay every time he was there. It was twice as big as his condo unit in the capital. It was fully furnished, too.

"Stay here as you wait for your graduation," he pleaded as he cuddled me on his couch.

"Just let me stay at my apartment," I pleaded as well. "It's much closer to the university, to the orphanage, and to Mrs. Riviera's. I have to go back to the cake shop, too."

He groaned. "Can I just bring you back to the capital?"

I giggled. "We have just arrived here, Nigel Joaquin! And I have to attend my graduation!"

"Just yourself to attend?" he teased, kissing me in the cheek.

"Of course, mom has to be here during that day. Of course, Elena will be with her... and Kara, too. I invited her."

"How about me?" he asked lovingly. "Are you not inviting me?"

"Hmmm, I'll think about it, Eliakim..." I said, teasing him as well.

"O-okay..." he muttered before he brought his lips to mine.

Of course, he had to attend. He was my S. Eliakim and he, being S. Eliakim, promised me in his notes before that he would be with me during my graduation day.

Before Nigel went back to the capital, he accompanied me to see Mrs. Riviera and my companions in the cake shop. Everyone there in the shop told me they missed me. Well, I was gone for months because of my internship.
