Our Story Rhymes prologue

It's already midnight but I'm still awake. Waiting for the person who is not sure if he will go home.

I'm here on the balcony of our condo. I was sitting on the rocking chair, while watching the lights flickering at night.

I took my phone out of my hoodie, and tried to call him for the fifth time again.

And as I expected. He's still not answering, like the first one. I called him again and this time, he answered.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

What! Do you need something?! I can't go home tonight, we were going to Makati because our client is there."

He quickly said and immediately hung up...

I laughed weakly. Ok, he forgot for the second time again.

He hasn't been home for a week, he said, because of his damn work.

It's our 9th year anniversary today— and for the second time, he forgot again. And it's already over.

I put my phone back in my hoodie and stared again at the lights almost twinkling in the sunrise

I slowly rock the rocking chair, and holding back the impending tears that wanted to flow from my eyes.

Oh fuck, I'm going to cry... Again?

'Fuck Clyde, aren't you used to it?'

I thought I was, but I'm not. The pain is still the same as last year. Does he still think about me? Or our relationship? Or am I just being dramatic, like he said?

The pain in my heart, what he told me before is still fresh as Fuck! I am crazy or what.

I wiped the tears falling from my eyes. I missed the old Aldrich, the Aldrich who always thought about me, cared about me, and paid attention to me. And Aldrich who always tells me that he always loves me.

Because of those thoughts. I just cried more.

I leaned my head on the rocking chair, and closed my eyes.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered our happy memories in Marikina park. We were in college at that time, and it was our first anniversary and we went there, because I didn't want someone to prepare food.

Eight years ago...... Flash back

I pulled him.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"Come on! Let's go on the pirate ship!"

He stopped me, Like a child whining.

My face mediately turning red

"I don't want, I might just vomit on you. My boyfriend's outfit is nice"

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Yiiiieee... you was blushing,"

He even squeezed my nose.

I slapped his hand.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"O-ouch...."

And i immediately rubbed my cheek.

His face seems so worried now.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Ohh... Sorry babe,"

He gave me facepalm.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"You're so cute,"

He smirked at the end.

I just looked at him anger, while his hand still covered my face.

He rubbed my brows.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Oh... Your eyebrows are going down again... Tsk, tsk, tsk"

I relaxed my brows and he smiled because of that.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Just give me a frech kiss here, I agree to let's ride there,"

funcking..?

My brows furrowed again.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"B-Are you crazy? It's embarrassing,"

And would have walked out.

I saw him immediately sulked because of that,

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

" GUYS! MY BOYFRIEND DON'T WANNA KISS ME ANYMORE! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!"

My eyes widened and I returned to where I was standing earlier because of his shout.

I hit him on the shoulder.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"What! a shameful Aldrich,"

I almost whispered at the end.

People are looking at us, but this man, it doesn't matter.

He sulked at me more and gave me a pouting lips. I just closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Damn! These guys are so crazy...

'I don't look at people anymore, and I don't care if we are judged.

I'm just going to do what he wants to, coz his so fucking embarrassing.

I pulled his collar to me, and gave him the fucking french kiss.

Every movement of our lips is intense, as if we have our own world.

He smiled at my lips.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Hmm... Let's go to the pirate ship babe!"

He excitedly pulled me to the pirate ship. We got on ship and boasted that he wouldn't shout.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"FUCKK!!! AHHHHHH!!! STOPPED THE FUCKING SHIP!!! PABABAIN NIYO 'KO DITO!"

He screamed and clung to me.

I couldn't scream, because I was laughing at him. He is like a child caught in a fight.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"I thought you wouldn't scream?"

I teased him when we got down.

I sat next to him.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"Really? Even if I give you a french kiss every day?"

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

He turned his gaze to me. "Even if you give me a head every day babe, i will not get on that fucking ship ever again. Even if I get old."

I was surprised by what he said and hit him on the arm.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"What kind of head are you talking about?!"

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Head?! You think differently do you?, wanna do it??"

He smirked and gave me a seductive look.

I elbowed him and immediately stood up.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"Your brain is so dirty!"

I walked away from him and I could feel him following me.

He caught up with my footsteps, and now we are almost at the same pace.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"do you want a head babe? I will give you if you want,"

He put his arms around me.

I quickened my pace and he also quickened his pace. So I ran. He chased me. And we are like children chasing nothing.

End of flashback.....

I felt fingers tap my forehead so I opened my eyes a little. I fell asleep thinking about those memories.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

I saw the man bending over me. "Why are you sleeping there?! Don't you have any legs?! The bed is just across from you, you're torturing yourself!"

And walked out.

I checked the time on my wrist watch and it was getting late in the afternoon.

Shit! It's been so long since I fell asleep.

I stood up and stretched, I rubbed my neck because of the pain of my neck earlier. I watched the beautiful view for a while, here on the balcony before going inside.

I didn't see Aldrich in our room or in the living room. So i think he's taking a bath.

I went to the kitchen to cook our dinner. I opened the stove to heat the pan. I turned my neck for a while because of the pain I felt.

I felt arms wrapping around my waist and his hair was still wet.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Babe i miss you.."

He whispered and kissed my ears.

Miss you? But you forgot?

I elbowed him

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

" what the hell, I'm not in the mood."

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

I was about to put some oil on the pan I was heating, but he suddenly grabbed my wrist to face him.

He was furrowed.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?! ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU NEED THAT'S WHY YOU BOTHERED ME?!"

I frowned.

I pulled back my pulse, but he was too strong.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"What the hell! Can you let me go!"

I sneered at him.

He violently let go of my pulse. I immediately turned off the stove. And would have walked out.

He was about to hold my hand again, but I immediately took it back.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"WHAT! WHAT AM I A PROSTITUTE?! JUST CALL WHEN YOU NEED IT?!"

I cried at the end, because I couldn't take the pain anymore, and I was full.

His eyes widened.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

" HOW DARE YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE TO ME?!"

I straight stared at his frowned eyes.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

"How dare you raise your voice to me too?!"

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

" You've changed a lot, Aldrich. "

I sniffed.

Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin

" I don't even know you anymore,"

He sighed.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"Please, don't act like a girl like a having monthly period. Your so dramatic"

"Don't act like a girl?' I'm not acting like a girl, I'm just saying that you've changed a lot, because I miss you. I miss the old you. I just let you know that you were changed. So where's the drama there."

I wanted to say those words to him, but I couldn't.

I just cried in front of him.

Aldrich Masen Fortelejos

"FUCK!"

He pissed. And went to the door outside and closed it loudly.

I just sat down and leaned against the kitchen counter cabinet. And continue cry.
