Gwen woke up the next day without even
realizing that Holden is not anymore in the house as she cruise the living
room, which is also their dining room she just saw an empty plate. Things are
getting worse every minute and it is hurting her, maybe she can hang out with
Dave and it can take away all her pain and longing for Holden.
She decided to go to work early and just
hang out in the theatre for awhile. The loneliness of the house is eating her
alive.
Holden was very happy he finished his first
book, “How Can A Geek fall in love with Ms. Popular?” He called his publisher
that he sent the last chapter of the book and the publisher was very happy
about it. Now he can buy his surprise for Gwen.
After work, Gwen decided to go home early.
Despite of Dave calling her, she ignored it. She doesn’t feel good going out
this night. She just had to call her next day to hang out with him. She’s not
in the mood to do anything. On her way out of the car, she smell the aroma of
mac and cheese.
She opted to go to Erin’s house first and
they chatted for awhile. Erin offer her dinner but she refused. There’s a mac
and cheese dinner leftover and she doesn’t want them to get spoiled, that would
mean losing money. She needs to be thrifty and she’s embarrassed with Erin.
She’s been a good friend and she doesn’t want to abuse her hospitality. She
decided to freshen up and go home. Maybe Holden will be asleep so she can’t see
him trying to avoid her at any cause.
As she stepped down the cab, the front door
opened.
“Where have you been? I have been waiting
for you.”
Gwen could not believe what she heard, as
she look up she saw Holden, grinning at her. As Holden comes closer, she could
feel tears falling down her eyes. Holden reached her hand at gave his hanky.
She tried to say something but Holden just
hushed her to keep quiet.
Holden: “C’mon dinner is waiting. I cooked it
for you.. and I’m sorry.” Holden paused pat her hear. “This is also my
celebration for finishing my first book”
She could not believe her ears. This is one
of Holden’s dreams to write a book and she knew that Holden is happy. She
looked at his eyes, she can see fulfillment.
Gwen: “Let’s go in and celebrate”
They celebrate for the whole night until
6am that morning, but Holden is full of energy that he had seen before. The
publisher called him to meet with him at around 7am. Without sleep, Holden just
took a shower and went to meet him. He said he will go home early to catch
sleep.
Gwen, now really tired. Decided she had to
sleep and she had work at 3pm. As she entered her bedroom, she saw a lovely
guitar. There’s a post it note in there:
“I’m sorry Gwen. I can’t promise that
I won’t be absent minded but I will try
to
lessen it or avoid it. Don’t be mad.
This
is my gift for you. Hope you like it.
For all the days that I annoyed you”
~H
Gwen played the guitar, strummed a few
notes with it. This is a lovely gift. She’s been saving it for almost 1 month
but a guitar is expensive. It costs 600§ and she knew he couldn’t
afford that so she knew she was behind her colleagues in the theatre. She’s so
overjoyed right now with this gift. She knew from that moment she really love
everything about Holden.
Holden came home and she saw Gwen playing
the guitar she bought for her. When Gwen saw her she put down the guitar and
hugged him tightly and whispered, “Thank you”.
Holden thought now it’s the time to tell
her everything he feels. He had to take this opportunity.
Holden:“Gwen, you’re the most beautiful
girl in the world. I have something to tell you.”
Gwen face turned pink after hearing that
compliment.
Gwen:“But first let me tell you something,
I have been keeping you this the whole time.”
She gazed into his eyes and He felt his
temperature rose.
“I
Love You, Holden”
They
finally face their fears and tell their feelings to each other. Can they
continue the risk and go all the way to each other’s hearts? See the next
chapter to know!
