The Promise IV (Grand Finale) /On-going

Chapter 1 - Feelings Change

 "It's time." Said a voice from behind the chair.

A man smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's finally our time." He said.

The chair turned, revealing a middle aged woman with a serious expression on her face.

"Nicholas, mark my words." She paused and gritted her teeth.


"I will take back what's mine."

"Ughhhhh!" Lauren let out another frustrated grunt.

She was standing by the bookshelves with a book in her hand. She looked at the top of the bookshelf, trying to figure out how to put the book back at its place. Some tall customer took the book out but refuses to buy it, and now Lauren has to put it back.

"I wish I have longer hands..or legs.." She sighed.

"Let me be your superhero." A voice said from behind.

Harry smiled as he took the book from Lauren's hand before easily placed the book back into it's place.

Lauren rolled her eyes.

"Show off."

Harry chuckled.

"Well, just let me know if you need my help again, midget. I'll definitely come running to you." He said.

Lauren scoffed.

"I'm not a midget!"

Harry walked passed her before stopping before her. He put his hand on Lauren's head.

"You are a midget." He said, serious.

Lauren quickly grabbed Harry's hand in protest.

"Don't tease me!" She said, pissed. Harry laughed at her sensitivity.

"Am I interrupting something?" A voice suddenly said.

Lauren and Harry paused and turned to the direction of the voice.

"Oh honey!" Lauren said, excitedly. She quickly releases her grip on Harry's hand and grabbed Camila's hands.

"Hey Baby, I missed you." Camila said, smiling sweetly.

Harry cleared his throat.

Camila bit her lip. "Do you have any problem? She's my fi.."

"Your fiance, I get it. No need to repeat that like millions of times." Harry said, annoyed.

"I'm glad you get the message." Camila said, bitter.

Lauren looked at the both of them as she could feel the tension in the air.

"Do you really have to interrupt her at work, Camila?" Harry suddenly said.

"What?"

"You're distracting her when she's working. Put some sense into your head." Harry replied, serious.

Camila gritted her teeth.

"Man..you're really getting on my nerves!"

Harry stares at the angry young woman, not backing out.

"Enough you two!" Lauren shouted causing both people to look at her.

Lauren sighed.

"Camila is here to visit me, Ed. I was the one who asked her to come." Lauren said.

Harry shook his head.

"Laur, I don't mind you bringing your friends here, but..don't play around. Work is work." He said.

Lauren nodded. "I know."

Harry  left the couple as he glared at Camila.

"I..don't like that guy. Like seriously." Camila said after he left.

Lauren quickly intertwined her hand with Camila's.

"Don't mind him. So, is there anything you want to eat or drink? Or read?" She said gently.

Camila has forgotten about her little feud with Harry once she heard Lauren's sweet voice.

"Lo, I'm not really hungry.." She said, pouting.

Lauren gently runs her hand through Camila's dark hair and lovingly caressing the girl's face.

"I'm here on request though.." Camila said coyly.

"Request?"

"Yeah, kinda like..a special request for someone who likes adventure.." She said, her face red.

Lauren pondered for a few seconds before suddenly smiled.

"Oh, that request."

Camila nodded as she looked down.

They stood there a few seconds in silence.

Suddenly Lauren grabbed Camila's hand.

"We need to hurry then.." She said, pulling her to the last bookshelf in the store.

Camila giggled as she follows her girlfriend.

As soon as they reached there, Camila pushed Lauren against the wall and stared deeply into her eyes.


"Don't make too much noise, baby.." She whispered as she snaked her hand under Lauren's skirt.

Lauren gasped.

"Oh, I loved that too, baby!" Marley squealed excitedly as she's being surrounded by a few male models in a club.

Mario who was there following his friends shook his head seeing Marley's behavior.

Marley shrugged. "What?"

Mario stood up and pulled Marley's hand with him.

"Hey!"

Mario pulled the girl to the dance floor where they stood there in silence.

The music was playing Love Game by Lady GaGa.

"Yah..Mario what's wrong?" Marley asked, puzzled.

Mario sighed.

"I thought you're dating Mila's cousin, Zooey."

"I am dating her." Marley said, nodding her head.

"Oh really? You don't actually act like someone who's in a relationship."

Marley rolled her eyes.

"You flirted with pretty much all the men and women you met.." Mario continued.

"How do you think she would feel if she sees this?" He questioned.

Marley let out a small chuckle.

"Wow, I didn't expect to hear all of this from you." She said, teasing.

Mario sighed.

"Come on, you know how this business is like. I'm just..having fun with all the attention, nothing serious." Marley said casually.

"Trust me, you will regret this." Mario said.

Marley rolled her eyes.

"You're taking this way too seriously, chill." She said before suddenly pulled by a tall man to dance.

Mario shook his head.


"Do whatever you want, Marley Ora."

The hair designer, Theo Markden can't believe what he just heard.

"You..you..want me to cut your gorgeous bangs?!!" He asked, shocked.

Troy nodded. "Yeah, just cut it off."

"But why?!!" Theo asked.

Troy smiled.

"I want to appear more manly..for someone."

"Did your girlfriend ask you to cut your hair?"

Theo's smile suddenly fades. He looked down in silence.


"It's for..someone..special."

"The top scorer for our Science test is.." The teacher, Ms. Victoria paused.

Heather crosses her fingers, hoping that it will be her this time. She studied hard for that test, with Naya's help.


Heather Jauregui..

Heather Jauregui..


"..Callie Speer!!" She announced.

The whole class applauded as Callie shyly stood up from her seat.

Heather stared at the girl blankly. She's trying to grasp the whole situation.


It's her again..

Callie Speer..

It's always her..


She gritted her teeth before suddenly stormed out of the class.

Everyone was shocked by her sudden outburst.

Callie looked away.

Nicole Scherzinger was walking towards the cafe when she suddenly saw a girl creeping by the window.

She walked closer to find out who the creepy person is. The girl was equipped with a camera as she hide behind the bush.

"Isabel?!!" Nicole shouted.

Isabel Bar was startled and dropped her camera on the grass.

"Hey Nicole! You scared me!!" She shouted in response.

She kneel down to pick up her camera.

"What were you doing?" Nicole asked, suspicious.

Isabel looked away, nervous.

"I'm..taking pictures..isn't that obvious?"

Nicole looked into the shop and noticed a girl sitting alone.

"You're stalking..Zooey?" She asked, puzzled.

Isabel shook her head vigorously.

"No! I'm waiting for Marley!"

She quickly covers her mouth as she realized that she just revealed her own secret.

Nicole chuckled.

"You..got a thing for Marley?" She asked.

"It's not like that!"

"And you're making fun of me being a gay leader.."

"I said it's not like that!"

Nicole continued to laugh as she walked into the cafe.

"Nicole, don't tell anyone! Please!" Isabel continues to plead.

"Tell anyone what?"

Allie and Dinah were looking at them, curious.

"Ah..tell anyone that Isabel here is.." Isabel tries to cover Nicole's mouth with her hands but failed. "..Isabel here is..suffering from diarrhea.." Nicole continued.

It's almost closing time at Al's Cafe and the staffs where sitting at the counter, sipping drinks after a long day of work.

"Can feelings change?" Harry suddenly asked.

Sky chuckled at the question as he dried off a few cups with a napkin.

"I..don't know. I've been in love with the same person for pretty much my whole life." Lauren replied casually.

Harry looked at her and bit his lip.

Suddenly Vanessa put down her glass of juice.



"I think..


She paused.


..it can.."




"Feelings can change." She said.  

N/A: I know, i know it's been a long time. Life just caught me so bad and busy and also i couldn't find inspiration to continue writing or editing convert stories... I am sorry. But what matters best is that I am here right?
