When the weekend arrived, they traveled early, going north, to the Bay Hotel. He was wearing a fitted dark blue retro suit which complimented his masculine body underneath and out of the chest pocket, a wine red handkerchief was placed half its corner visibly peering out. Glancing down, you could see a perfectly thick butt and legs leading to freshly polished brown leather shoes.
As they arrived at the hotel's main entrance, the valet ran quickly upon seeing his car stopped right at the center. He continued to walk inside the hotel lobby and sit on the couch at the waiting area. He was handed a cup of coffee and a magazine for him to read. He was looking intently at the magazine but at the same time, his focus wasn't there. He keeps glancing at every person who arrives at the hotel. Until such a familiar form wearing a floral dress and dark glasses entered the lobby together with another woman. He automatically covered his face with the magazine, so that the woman wouldn't recognize.
He waited for a few minutes to follow them into their hotel room. She seemed to not have noticed his presence yet. He was just looking at her back, her sexy back as he followed her. Until he found the right timing to finally approach her... but to his surprise, he was tossed up in the air and dropped into the floor forcefully by this thin woman. He gasped with her sudden action and smirked secretly. He didn't know she could pull him off this easily. By just looking at her outside appearance, you will only see her as a very modest woman, she's thin but not short, she doesn't smile but her face is lovely and beautiful, her eyes...her eyes are empty.
He tried to face her and approach her but the only thing he got was a hard headbutt and a strong step on his toe. As she stormed away from me. What an amazona! He said over his head. He was left there dumbfounded, when he snapped back to his senses he walked towards the door and stared into the peephole and smirked, 'You are making me want you more… my dear Rayzel Faith Fuentes.' He thought over his head as excitement built up all over him.
Who would have thought that those ten long years would change her so damn much. He knew everything about her from five years ago. He has let his men to look for her and investigate. He followed her till then. He wanted to help but he couldn't get himself near her. Ashamed of what he did to her.

Meanwhile, Mika crossed her arms upon witnessing her best friend looking like she's hiding from someone as before she stepped out of the room, she peeked outside and narrowed her eyes from left to right and right to left making sure that no one was there.
"What on earth are you doing, Rayzel Faith?" She asked, raising her one brow and still arms crossed over her chest. I stand straight realizing what I am doing and just look at her and roll my eyeballs.
"Girl! We are not here for a hide-and-seek!" She yelled, causing me to instantly cover my both ears.
"Whatever!" I shrugged and went out of the room first and did not wait for another word from Mika.
As we entered the dining hall, an elegant round dining table welcomed us with a chandelier right at the center of it. I could see familiar faces sitting at that table, so I concluded that it was the table reserved for all their batch. As I narrowed my eyes to the four corners of the dining hall, my eyes stopped right at the very unpleasant sight that was happening on the big roundtable. Scott was staring at me intently while he was encircled by women smiling widely at him, talking and flirting with him. I breathe heavily as I rolled my eyes at him and went straight to his opposite chair beside Mika and a guy that I completely forget the name of.
Everyone was already eating and chit chatting at the same time while I focused myself on the food. I never wanted to be here anyway. Suddenly, I felt the guy beside me move and tilted his head over to see me, wanting to make conversation. Which I declined, but he still continued on poking my arms softly.
"What!?" I groaned and forcefully dropped the spoon and fork into my plate and turned my head to face him with a poker face.
"Ahmm...I just wanna ask… how have you been… Ra-Rayzel?" He stammered. I was shocked to know that he still remembered my name. So I frowned at him as I can't still recall who his name was. "Michael? Remember? The nerd?" He introduces as he scratches the back of his neck.
"Oh…" I casually replied and focused my attention to my food again. Now, I remembered him, he was once bullied by Scott and his friends before. He would only sit in one corner without any friends. I must say that his looks have changed, he doesn't look like a weakling anymore. His up to shoulder hair was put back in a neat way, he doesn't have thick glasses anymore, that gives more access to his eyes making it more attractive and full of life.
He continued talking, which I didn't give a damn and just continued eating my food also. I called up Mika but she's being herself, her talkative self. I am not into mingling with other people especially, with guys...So I needed Mika's presence at this moment.
I am close to being irritated again as I kept on sighing until the breakfast was over.
Scott on the other hand, was just sitting right across the table, he was annoyingly relaxed and seemed loving the attention he gets towards our high school classmates. After a while, a man in black tuxedo, if I'm not mistaken he's one of his bodyguards came near him and whispered something from his ears causing him to frown as his jaw clenched. He quickly stood up and went out of the room in a hurry.
I felt relieved upon seeing him storm out of the dining hall. I felt my breathing became at ease so I sat properly. The girls who were encircling him a while ago returned to their seats as the two of them went closer to my direction with an irritating smile flustered on their faces.
"Hey! Rayzel!" Danica called out my name acting so friendly in front of everyone. I just stared at her and tilted my head up and down. I know where this is going, I should've returned to our hotel room. Shit!
"How's life going? Are you now married?" Tracy asked me as they sat on both sides of me. I narrowed my eyes and looked for Mika, I didn't realize that she's not beside me anymore and also Micheal is sitting in the other chair meters away from mine. I am arguing in my mind if I should go out of the dining hall now or just remain sitting here and let these two freaks corner me for the rest of I don't know when will it end. I've always hated them both ever since when we were still studying. They were called the war freak Kikays during our school days. I knew that was a long time ago, and maybe they have already changed but...Naaaah! I can sense their attitude from here, IT IS STILL THE SAME.
"Come on, Rayzel! We are not the same girls from ten years ago! People change, you know." Tracy laughed a little as she clapped her hands excitedly.
"So?" I answered sarcastically.
"We were only asking. We wanted to catch up with everyone here." Danica smiled while she looked around and our other classmates smiled at her in return. "Come on. Who are you married to? Did your father return home?" She added.
That's it! I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and slammed the table harder than I expected, I was breathing heavily because of frustration. Everyone stared at me, surprised at what I did. I hate people mentioning about my father in front me. I clenched my fist as I gritted my teeth, I wanted to punch her in the face right here right now.
I didn't notice that Mika was already standing beside me, grabbing my arms trying to calm me down. She looked awfully worried about me. She knew how I would act when I got frustrated, I couldn't control my emotion. Especially, when it's about my father.
"Don't you ever dare mention that damn father of mine here!" I glared intensely at Danica as I point my pointing finger at her face. She trembled in fear and quickly stood up and stepped back a little.
"Hey… calm down, Ray." Mika said as she tried to move my arms which she was holding trying to calm me down. She even dragged me softly away from Danica and tracy. I closed my eyes and inhaled and exhaled air. I immediately turned around and walked towards the door. The dining hall remained quiet until I was completely gone.
"I'm so sorry everyone. Please continue whatever you're doing. Don't worry about it." I heard Mika apologize to everyone embarrassed before she followed me.
