Love Reciprocated
James POV
Late night, on the balcony, sitting at the hammock and watching the sky alone. This is not what I've used to do. I was always with Net when we are having alone time moments. It's just like, all memories that we have suddenly vanished. It's hard to accept the fact that you are the only one who cares about your relationship. I hope this pain ended soon. I don't want to feel this pain anymore.
It's been three weeks since we last saw each other. I don't have plans on chasing him, he was the one who broke up with me. Wait! We don't break up. He was the only one who leave me. He didn't even bid goodbye or even say anything to me. He left me dumbfounded. What kind of person he is? Such a heartless man.
My mother named me, James because he reminds me of my late father. He died in a car accident. I was 4 years old at that time. Since then, my Mom was the only one whom I have and my uncles. They are always there for me.
I remember when Mom told me I got into an accident when I was 6 when I was preparing to go to school and got hit by a car. I always cried that time. I can't remember anything, thankfully Mom is always by my side and she helps me remember everything even though it is impossible to bring them back. Until now, I can't still remember my childhood past. I don't even know if I have a friend or not.
On May 10, I turned twenty at that time and suddenly felt happy when I can finally take my glasses out. Mom says when I was four, I have always eyeglasses that time. My eyes before are not healthy.
It was the celebration of the company I am working with when they decided to have a celebration dinner at a fine restaurant. That time, I saw a guy, got interested and later on when we get to know each other. I fall in love with him
Flashback...
I and Net are having our dinner date at Boracay Island. This is the best dinner date that I have had. I've never travelled so far just because of the date but now. Net made my experience that date from other places are amazing
The night is getting deep and yet we didn't endure the cold outside. I was leaning my head on Net shoulder while Net hands are on my waist
"I wish we can travel here again" Tomorrow is our flight back to Thailand. I will miss this island
"We can always travel here whenever you want. How's that sound?" net never fails me to fall in love with him.
Instead of answering him, I kiss him on the lips which made him surprise. Net was always the one who initiates to kiss but this time it was me
"I love you" Net whispers to my ear. That sounds so good
"I love you too" I whisper to him too.
We both laugh and look at the sky with a smile on our hearts. I wish this doesn't end. I want to keep my heart forever with him. Net is the only person I am comfortable with except for Mom.
End of Flashback
If Net will come here and explain everything then I will accept him but if he didn't come after midnight then I don't have a choice but to let him go. It's not that I am still hoping, I'm sure he is already happy to be with his true soulmate. I guess we are not meant for each other.
Who is the foolish man who will wait for his boyfriend to come home even though it is impossible to happen? I can't help to cry whenever I think that Net hurt me.
Should I let him go?
If does want me to do that then I will do as he says. I don't want to be selfish. Net own his life and decision, not mine to interfere.
I tried to call his number hoping he will answer my call but he didn't pick up my call. It was unintended. Maybe he is busy.
I hope this is just a dream.
NuNew POV
Zee and I are still not on good terms. I don't want to see Zee bad for Granny and so I think I will act as he says. Even though I'm still mad at him I am not that heartless person to do that. Zee is still my husband. Husband in the paper.
I was preparing for dinner when I saw Zee walking distance from me. His face is not mad anymore. What happened to him? Did something good happen to him?
"What's for dinner?" I'm surprised when I heard his husky voice. What's with that? Is he trying to seduce me? Scratch it. As if he likes me.
"Ahm... A chicken fillet and beef steak. We don't have any veggies in the fridge so I cooked this"
Zee doesn't look like listening to me because he gets close to me and grabs my waist
"What are you doing?" I whisper it to him. I don't want everyone to hear it since Zee is becoming weird by now
"I am embracing my husband" It's the same answer I got earlier
"Can't you see I'm putting the plates on the table? It might fall if you are blocking my way" I can't stop but gulp and have goosebumps when he is trying to travel his hands on my back
"NuNew, am I not a good husband?" Why is he suddenly asking me about that? Earlier he is in a good mood and now he seems sad
"You are a good husband Zee" I tried to speak normally but my heart. Oh gosh! My heart didn't stop beating so fast. I can feel my knees trembling not in fear but the tension between us.
"NuNew, can I... Kiss you?"
I took my face away to hide my cheeks. Crap! This man
"Wh-why are y-you su-suddenly ask m-me about t-that?" Oh gosh! Did I just stammer?
"You're cute when you are stammering, this is why I like you" Uh? Did he just say he likes me?
"You like me?" Pointing myself with my eyes wide
"Yes, I deeply like you NuNew. And I am not doing an act. My feelings for you are real. NuNew, don't say you don't like me. I don't want to hear that" I can't help but laugh when he says 'don't say you don't like me'. Such a bossy husband
"I thought my feelings are not reciprocating" I can't help my tears to fall
"You mean to say..." I nod. Zee instantly hug me and so I did too. I miss this hug
"I like you Zee" It was just slow but enough for him to hear my word
"What did you say?" There's a playful smile on his lips
"I LIKE YOU, HUBBY" then we shared a sweet kiss. I don't even think that I have some things to do before kissing him. But that's not important anymore. Zee and I both have feelings for each other. I don't regret the moment I have to meet him, being.......
his secretary,
his husband and
his life.
A/N: So, who is the real Net's childhood sweetheart? James or Yim? I want to know your thoughts readers 🤔😍. I can't wait... 😘
