CHAPTER 1 | Forget me not
↓
SIX in the morning.
The chirping of the birds can faintly be heard from inside the room owned by the famous actor.
Who wouldn't know him?
Tall, dark and handsome can describe how perfect he is. But no one realize, that the perfect guy under the fake visage also felt pain inside his heart. No one can figure it out. Simply because he can easily make off a facade hiding his emotion, by his acting.
Five years.
It's precisely five years since then. Since his heart wrecked painfully.He has that one best friend before in his life, who helped him,cared for him and supported him like a lover would do. Sadly, after his so-called best friend met a guy who swept her feet off of the ground, everything changed.
No talk.
No late night walk.
No texting.
More fights.
It is surely frustrating.
He wasn't sure before if the feeling inside him was strong enough to the point that he can confess. So, he decided to hide it. Even if it kills him.
Mellisa met this guy.
Pale, average height and has this beautiful eye smile.
Andriusㅡhimself knows he can't produce the same eye smile to Mellisa, that the latter adores a lot. Till she left without a farewellㅡ She left a broken guy that can't be fixed.
Only Jerico, his loyal friend put up with care of him every single night. Nights that he wanted to cry, the nights that he desires to end his life.
Therefore, when those times came, focus on his studies, shoves himself to become better ㅡno, to be outstanding and one of a kind in acting. To the point that his University introduces him to a nice entertainment company. He did well, he made himself a name that surely, each person would know if they heard the name Andrius Ranz Stanford, they would praise him.
And the name Melissa Rage? It's long forgotten.
He grabs one and a half hours inside the shower, maybe he's too deep. Thinking if ever Melissa and him would ever cross each path. He doesn't think he is ready for that. After taking a few steps afterwards, standing in front of the mirror. Staring at his own reflection who produces nothing but emptiness.
"Mel. It's been five years. Where are you?"He thought to himself, as he caresses his cheeks.
He keeps on staring blankly as if he provokes emotions, but no. Not until the ringing phone startled him, he sought heavily. Hand reaches for the device and settles it in his right ear. "Hello?Andrius deeped raspy voice coated the comfort room.
Hello, Ranz.A seductive voice speaks from the other line. He smirks, biting his lower lip. Do you miss me?The latter added.
Of course Jem, I miss everything about you.He answered with his powerful tone, which includes deep and raspy echoed tone. How are you? Do you want me to come over?
The giggle from the other line makes him smile, did he move on ㅡor he thinks?
Sure, I will cook everything you want. How about watching a movie then cuddle?The latter offers that he can't reject. He doesn't have a cold heart.
Sounds like a plan. Sure thing, Jem.He answered shortly, smiles tugging from his lips when he listened to that soft chuckles. Jem, I'll just wear some clothes and go there.He teases.
You idiot!The other spat and chuckles again. You can just wear nothing, cos you're taking off it later."The latter speaks again, "If you know what I mean?"
Jemiaiah, stop teasing me, alright. I will be quick. Bye.
I love you, Ranz.
...Love you, Jem.
He turned off his phone, continued his commitment. He dried himself and wore comfortable clothes. After that he wore sunglasses and a face mask to hide his identity.
Closing his condo unit fastly, sauntering to the elevator, he gets on the parking lot for his car. After that he then started the engine to see his beloved Sweetheart.
Once he reaches the place, Jemiaiah yanks him inside the room and positions herself on top. Kissing him hungrily while roaming her bare hands inside Andrius shirt to touch the defined tone chest. Andrius is confident with this. He smirked widely and sucked Jemiaiah lower lips and bits roughly, Her tongue asking for entrance. "Hmm-mm."Hearing soft moans as his hand grip the other waist.
Teeth clashing and tongue sucking was the only sound except from the air condition.
Andrius quickly shifts their position and wanders on top of her to take off her clothes. He tosses it out of nowhere and commenced sucking the supple buds that made Jem wailing in pleasure. "Ranz, please."She helplessly pleas.
Jemiaiah hands yank Andrius hair, while Andrius busy, biting her nips using his clenching teeth. "Finish."Andrius then said and took his clothes to wear.
"What the ㅡno way."Jemiaiah exasperatedly said. "You're not planning on leaving me with a thirsty!"
"It's your prob, Jem. You teased me on the phone and that's your punishment."Andrius laughed hard and nuzzled his nose on the latters neck. Jemiaiah scoffed loudly and just hugged the brunette in return.
"Whatever, let go off of me. I'll cook. Just go watch something or jerk off ㅡwhatever you want."Andrius shows his rectangular shapes, smile and puts on a peck of kiss to the woman. "Don't you have any schedule?"
"None, i fixed my schedule to have some quality time with you."Jemiaiah redden with a tint of crimson pink and vacates the latter to hide her embarrassment.
While Andrius is unaided again, He recalled something.
A promise to himself that when he finally found someone who can love him like how much he loved Melissa before, he will give everything and anything.
Promise to give it a chance to love again. Even though it can't strive to be his love for the raven haired girl.
He won't hurt Jemiaiah feelings, He won't hurt her.
He vowed.
After his Girlfriend simmered something, they ate happily and stared at the movie while cuddling on the couch. Jemiaiah feeds him ice cream while Andrius performs the same. After they finished the movie. Jemiaiah decided to invite Andrius to stay but Andrius refuses recalling, he got plans tomorrow morning.
Jemiaiah kissed her and led her outside before they bid a goodbye.
While Andrius's striding and heading off to his unit he saw something ㅡno someone standing outside his condo. Step by step he felt uneasy and hurt thriving inside his heart.
The raven haired girl with a big stomach, of a child crying and holding a bag of things. "Ranz."
"Melissa."
CHAPTER 2 | Forget me not
↓
Both of them didn't want to begin any conversation. After Andrius led Melissa inside his unit, he offered him a seat and gave her food. Melissa already halts from crying but Andrius gives her a blank cold stare that scares her.
Andrius can't imagine after five years. He can talk to the girl he loved ㅡMelissa didn't change a bit. Same as the most attractive and innocent face he's ever seen except her baby bump on her stomach.
Andrius wanted to cry, to shout, to caress the raven but he avoided it. He wants to stop himself because it's for the best.
After almost an hour, Melissa slowly took a bite of a baked cookie, eating it silently as she sipped the now cold chocolate milk to produce a voice, then wiped her mouth and looked at Andrius in his eyes. "Ranz."She started, voice still shaky. You can determine that the raven haired cried.
Andrius waits, following the raven movement. "R-ranz, can i stay here."Melissa almost choked and urged herself not to cry. "I don't have anywhere else to go. Iㅡonly have you."
Andrius groans. The pit of his heart is too much. "Sㅡsure. Just don't invade my privacy and we're cool."Melissa nodded and poured tears when she heard the brunette voice. She thought of how that voice soothing and comforting her before. "Feel free to use my spare room and eat the food on the cupboard and fridge. But, stop asking me aboutㅡ forget it, it's nothing."Andrius stood up and went to get something to drink.
He harshly took the mineral bottle and swallowed it to ease the burning sensation coming from his throat. After that he steps through the living room, directing Melissa to her own room. Melissa eyed her, just wanted to hug him tight. "Ranz."
"Hmm?"
"You're not going to ask mㅡme?"Andrius shook his head and glanced at him sternly. "Are you mad?"She added, silently.
"Mel, I am not here to ask you or interrogate what happened to you. It's your life. And as your former friend, I am here to offer help. Because as you said, you only have me."Melissa swallowed her spit roughly. "And I am not a jerk of a friend who just leaves you outside. Now if you'll excuse me. I have to rest."Andriys leaves Melissa. The two did not see their own eyes, with longing and sadness.
The moment Andrius reaches his room he jabs the wall that made his hand scrapes. Dripping blood oozing on it.
He cried silently, holding his chest. He can't believe that the feeling before was still inside of him. He really did not move on. He can't. And now he is crying like a pathetic guy five years ago and accepting his best friend who hurted his feelings.
"I'm so pathetic. I'm still whipped."He sobs again, punching the ground. "Shit."
Andrius woke up with bloodshot eyes. He rubs off the pain and puts up with a bath. After that he fixes himself and ready something to eat for them.
He cooks some pancakes, fried rice, egg, hotdogs and bacon. He also prepared banana milk. When he's done, he noticed that the food he made was all Melissa's favorite. He eats silently and tooks a bite slow while drinking the hot chocolate, after a minute he listens to a light foot step coming. He wipes his mouth using a table napkin and stands up.
"Good morning."Melissa greeted him while rubbing her baby bump. The brunette nodded silently and suggested the chair to take a seat and eat.
"Where are you going?ㅡoh, m' sorry."Melissa recalled that he can't ask anything.
"Eat now as long as it's hot. I'm leaving. Just prepare yourself something to eat like lunch and dinner."Melissa nodded. "I will leave my other credit card if you want to eat outside and ㅡyeah, i remember there is a yoga class for pregnant on the ground floor."Melissa almost choke herself, stopping herself to cry.
Andrius also saw that and made his heart shattered into pieces, the effect of Melissa Rage scares him. So he shifted his gaze. He might keel over and fall deeply.
"I'm going."Melissa just nods and eats.
The brunette straight off to his schedule. He scanned his phone and saw that he doesn't have a tight schedule at all. He is planning if he can visit his Girlfriend after.
When he already arrived, his Personal Assistant and make-up artist approach him and help him with his things.
They take their shooting short, after a few shots, they take a break and rest a little. His Manager Jericho talked to him.
"Problem?"Jericho asks, curiously. Eyeing him from head to toe. Seeing Andrius acting different.
"Nothing."He politely whispers.
Jericho smirked and tapped his shoulder. "You know you can trust me right?"Voice resonated with concern.
"Yes. But seriously i don't have one."He scoffed and sipped another cappuccino that they ordered. "But thanks for the concern though."He added.
"Okay! So after this we will go to Jeju Island to shoot a video clip for a commercial."Android furrowed his eyebrow.
"I don't remember accepting ads?"Andrius confusingly asked.
"Sorry i forgot! But, who wouldn't say yes to Shane Yu?"Android agreed and smiled "See, she's pretty."He added.
"Yes but not as pretty as MelㅡJemiaiah."He sipped another and stood up.
After a couple of shots they all gathered to fix their stuff and head to Jeju Island. He saw the crew fixing the entire place and Shane smiling from a far.
"Andrius!!!"Shane blurted out and hugged the brunette. He hugged him back. "How have you been? How are you and Jemiaiah?!"
"Well we're getting married."Shane gasped.
"Kidding."
Shane slapped his arm and pouted. "You got me there! You're mean!"
"Okay guys, Andrius and Shane please get the script."The crew say The shoot finished in less than 3 hours. Shane wanted to catch up to the latter, but he rejected because he's hoping to pay a visit with his Girlfriend.
10pm when he came into Jemiaiah place. Jemiaiah opened the door, dripping and soaking wet. Looks like she took a bath. Andrius grinned and pushed Jemiaiah inside but Jemiaiah shook her head. "No, Darling. We can't do it."
"Why?"Andrius whined and pouted like a kid. "You're so sexy and irresistible."
Jemiaiah giggles and smooches the brunette cheeks. "I have patients tomorrow."Andrius nodded and contended to hug her. "Thanks for understanding Babe."
"No problem. Love."
"Anyway, are you sleeping here?"Andrius wants to, but he recalls Melissa was staying in his unit by herself. She's pregnant.
"I want to. But i can't. My friend stays on my pad and she is pregnant."
"Ohh who?"Jemiaiah waiting for the answer with anticipation.
"Melissa."Jemiaiah just smiled. "You're not mad?"
"No. You're mine. And she is pregnant. What's the bother right?"
Andrius's heart fluttered. He can't think why he deserves someone like Jemiaiah, she is so good to be true.
"Yes, there is nothing to worry about."
Andrius takes his leave with a food container, Jemiaiah readied something for Melissa. Andrius feels so blessed. Having Jem in his life.
