THIRD POINT OF VIEW
She shut the bathroom’s door,flipping on the light. She  was instantly startled by her own reflection. Ash grey eye color ,tan skin ,real thick eyebrow , pointed nose ,chubby cheeks,and long eyelashes. her locks of long blonde hair tangled into a mess. Almost like a bird nest .she sighed. No matter how much she tried her hair always tangled in her sleep.she turned the knob to the shower letting the cold water heat up. She slipped out of her lingerie before stepping  into the water. She felt her muscles start to relax soon.
She’s about to step out of the water when a scenario flash into her mind. She was dancing very sexily with an erotic music surrounds the place. She was dancing infront of a man. She moved from one direction to another then face a man again. In the man’s brown eye you can see the lust. She secretly gulped then moved  to another direction. She  know’s how to make them fall know why? Because she is the one and only Maxxane heartfilla braid. the most prettiest girl in town.a woman born  with a golden spoon on mouth.
Maxxane father was a CEO of there company while her mother was a manager of an bank in there town. Maxxane back into reality when someone knock the door. She hurriedly went out of the water and wear her bathrobe and open the door it was her mom. “oh(mom what  is it?.” She asked. “Your  boyfriend  is waiting for you outside.you didn’t tell us that you have a boyfriend.” Her mom answered. “what is it again mom? Let me her it again. I think I heard it wrong. I don’t have boyfriend mom.
“you don’t? just face  the handsome boy downstair. Wear nice cloth my dear.and be faster.” Her mom said again. And left her. She wear her a high waist jeans and croptop. She really have a plan to go to the mall to buy some things. She was shocked because she  really don’t have boyfriend. If you think that she was flirt.well she’s not.

She’s nervous because maybe some assuming guys went in there house again and she pray that its not.
MAXXANE HEARTFILLA BRAID POV.
I hurriedly went downstair after wearing my clothes. When I reach our  living room I saw a man comfortably seating on the couch. his back was familiar . I feel my world stop when the man turned around. The man that I always dreaming on for the last five years. A man that I was thinking a while ago. He’s wearing a while polo and slacks. Or should I say a business suit. He really looks like a business man. I think we are on the same age but he’s taller than me. “hi sir(do I know you? I asked very frankly.
I really don’t know his name. i only know how good he is in the dancefloor. I need to take it slowly for my pride so don’t judge me easily. Im rude yes.but in the rude people too. “Ouch( thats hurt. You really don’t know me? or you didn’t remember me do you?.” He said. Im just looking at him while raising my eyebrow. “Oh(you really don’t know me because you left me five years ago.” He said again. Yeah you read it right. We meet five years ago in the bar. As far as I can remember im at the bar because I was broken hearted.
My boyfriend that time left me together with my bestfriend and its damn  hurt because he was my first boyfriend. I was in the bar drinking liquor when I spot a hoy guy. He’s alone and he’s the only one who caught my attention . I walk towards him I don’t know if im just carried along by the liquor or if im just broken but I really want to dance to the man infront of me and I know he already notice me. When I reach  him. I drag him in the dance floor. DRAG yes( I really drag him .i don’t want to argue with him just to dance with  me.
After that sexy dance we shared I left the bar.it was a very amazing but painful day for me. I was  back into my senses when someone clap and I notice I was looking at him in a very long time. I was taken a back when I realize that we are near to each other like when one of us make a move we are going to kiss. “sorry sir(.” I exclaimed. “do I look like I have a transmitable disease? If you distance yourself from me it look s like I have one” he said and chucked. “sorry for being rude sir. But who really are you? I really don’t know your name.” I asked sincerely.
“ I am Ace matthew scother” he answered . I was really shocked on what his name is. It’s familiar. oh(I think he’s the CEO of the company I used to work before but I never seen him before because he’s so very private person. “come again? Ace matthew?  The CEO of CARDS company? I asked with amusement. “yes(its good to know that you’re aware of who I am.” He said very proudly. “im here to ask you if we can go out? You can say that it’s a date” he added.i want to be with him for a day but before I spill out my answered mom entered.
“ oh(baby  maxxane let ace take you out.we are going somewhere so it’s better if you have someone accompany you. I don’t know where are they going. Even though they are here I still let aceet ace to date me. My mom  informed me that they will be out of the country for business matter and they will be out for a month. Luckily I have work to do. Im a model in right now but the past year I’ve been working as a secretary of a company or sometimes just a employee of a big company I don’t want to work in our company for some reason. Maybe next time.
I am pretty sure that im going to be busy but I really don’t know why the hell im allowing ace to be with me and take note he ask permission to my parents if I can be with him for a month. He said that if I need to work he will accompany me there. Or he just fetche me there. After the date I asked my manager for my next schedule and guess what. It fully loaded.. i will be having a photoshoot for tomorrow but its out of the country. I don’t know if ace will join me there but I guess not.
Being with ace in a month is so happy  and  unforgettable. Even though  im busy we still have time to talk,to stroll in the mall,we go a lot of place.  He join me there. Did I mention that he will ask me to be his girlfriend? I allow him to court me and after my photoshoot I answer him to be his girlfriend. I thought he was damn serious I know even just together for a month I still fall for him. But after we came back in the philippines . he never show his face again. I feel so devastated ,lost ,empty and I tell what happen to my parents at first they said maybe ace was so busy, I try to call and text ace for so many time but he never answered any of my call. My parents said that I should move on because if ace really love me he will inform me of what really happens.
I was here in the mall when I saw a familiar face in the boutique . I thought It was just my imagination  but no. it was real. I was about to approach him but a girl went to him and kiss him in the lips I was so shocked like I froze for a moment. Guess what the girl he’s with is no other than kate queenzel paroah  my bestfriend who stole my boyfriend five year ago. I don’t know if she was born to steel boyfriend.
I don’t want to approach  the both of them because I feel like I was the one who will put on shame. After I go to the mall I go to the club just to drink. I don’t know if god really hate me because when I enter the club I saw ace and kate making out in the couch near the counter .i directly went to the stool bar and order tequila .
I already drink 6 glass of tequila but I still feel the pain. I want to get drunk until I feel dumb. I ordered again. When a saw a man vision standing in the side. I turn around to see who the man is. And im shock that ace is standing near me. He looks pale, sad, in pain, and hopeless. I don’t know why because he was happy when I see him but right know?urggggh.
I was about to ask him why the hell in the earth he’s here infront in me but he hug me so very tight that make me stop and hug him also. I don’t know why but I feel I love him even though he cheat , just the air nearly suffocate us all. I hear is his loud heartbeat and mine. We stay for a little while when he tear us apart and bring me into the dance floor.
As music change into sweet music. My mouth curves just as ace does.  When we move around I saw another ace in the couch. Im not that drunk to think that it was my illusion. I was about to ask ace if who is that but ace sudden speak. “he was my twin. Spade dane scother. If you think that im the one you always saw your wrong. Let’s talk outside please”.
Were here in his car. He was holding his hand while his head buried in my neck. We just stay like that for a long period of time. Until we decide to talk. “ I have to leave you. I’m really inlove you . but I still choose to leave you. I can’t maxxane I just cant be with you.” He started. “I don’t what are you talking about ace please just tell we what the matter”.
“ I have a cancer” he said. “the doctor said I only have a month to stay.” He continued. I can’t still process what he are saying but I literally crying. He was hugging me so tight . “you only joking right?.”I ask  finding hope in his answer. “ I’m not baby.im  not. How much I want to stay with you. I really cant”.
“ Can I be with you even for a one last time ace?” I ask “No baby. You can’t .” he declined. We spend our night together. We went in his house watching movie. Telling how much he love me. Telling how become my admirer for a years until we fall asleep. I feel that it’s a longest night we spend together.
I wake up without ace beside me. So I immediately stand up but the door open. He was wearing a gray t-shirt and faded jeans he looks so hot but he also look pale. His hair was not the same the first time we met but he still looks hot. His move seems so different like the old time. He so very slow in terms of walking unlike the same time we walked together.
“done checking me?.” He asked and chuckled. I don’t know why but my tears slowly dropping. He immediately sit beside me and hug me tight I don’t wanna end this day because I feel like there’s no tomorrow. I buried my face on his neck and sing. “ you’re always on mind, from the time I wake up ‘till I close my eyes, you’re everywhere I go, you’re all I know.”
“ you’re the reason why I waking up with no enough sleep. you  don’t know how I am hurt when you suddenly no reply to me.you always making me sad. Always making me happy but one thing is for sure I love you and I want you to fight for me. Don’t let the pain tear us apart ace. I’m begging you please” I said while I’m mourning in his neck.
We spend the day like that. I never let him far away for me. It’s been five days since he confess that he has a cancer. I’m afraid that he might died anytime but I really praying not to. I was here in my house with him because he want me to wear the dress I wear five years ago i declined at first because its short for me now but he insisted so I wear it.
We go to park play around. Eat like usual and go to his house. I you’re wondering why ace isn’t in the hospital. He said he want to spend his last day or month without smelling the scent of the hospital although he has a doctor that checking him out and he has a medicine for him to be able to live longer.

MAXXANE HEARTFILLA BRAID POV.
It’s been 1 year since he pass away. But the pain I feel is the same like it’s the 1st day. I was here infront of his grave. I’m waiting for his parents to come. They want me to wait for them because they have something for me. And they really hope that the pain I feel will ease after they give that.
“oh(maxxane sorry for keep you waiting.” They said “ it’s okay tita. I also want to stay with ace.” I answered “ace want us to give you this. But we cant give it to you because we’re out of the country. And he want us to give you this personally”. His mother said. After our little chitchat we separate our way.
I was here in ace house. The same room he surprised me. He titled this house under my name so I have a authority for this. i open the envelope tita gave me. There’s a picture of us. Its great number of picture and also there’s a envelope. Inside the envelope there’s a paper. I read it the whole night.
“hi my baby maxxane. I’m assuming that while you reading this. Im surely die. Iloveyouuuu. Don’t forget that. I want you to keep safe always. Enjoy everyday without me. Find a man that will stay to you, that will love you for the rest of you’re life like I do. Maybe I die but my heart, my love, my soul is always alive for you. I’m guiding you always. Don’t cry please. You’re the one I will love. You isn’t my first but you’re the girl I love until the end. Ilove you my queen.”
That’s what the letter say’s. my tears are bursting out. I cry out loud. “I need you here, here right now. Im breaking down without you’re love” i sing while crying. Even he was not here im lucky that he left a precious gift in me. Our baby she is now one years old I name her heart safira that stans for the burning heart that ace and me shared.
