The Mother

I'm at the house right now, sitting on the couch watching the succession of the company to him.

"So it's true he did become the president of the company," I said to myself while staring at the televesion.

He wants to be the president for as long as I can remember, He always tells me that so he could prove to his father that he can achieve something.

We dreamed that day that once he sits as the president, he promised something that I hold onto but that something that faded into oblivion in his mind.

I sighs,I remembered the past when we meet first and it was a weird one.

Flashback

"Hey Jillian"

"Oh hey Maria" I replied.

"How is your day?" she asked.

"it's still the same, you're not reviewing?" I ask back.

"Nah it's too hustle," she said while shrugging.

You're gonna procrastinate, I said in my mind. But it's alright she's smart unlike me I have to double my effort just to make my grades passable.

"Anyway did you notice?"

I asked, "Notice what?"

"Jameson is looking at you" she whispers

"huh? Who? Jame-what?" I turned around my head, I didn't see any-- wait!

I spotted someone looking at me from a table across the cafeteria.

"uhmmm who's that?" I ask Maria. Turn my back at her

"what?? You don't know him? He's the Jameson! Jameson Aguinaldo!" She stresses out his name.

"Do you mean Jameson of the 8th Avenue?"

"Yeah him, look he's still looking at you"

Is there something with him? Why is he looking at me or we are assuming it's us?

"Never mind him, I am gonna continue my review," I said to Marie while looking at my review papers.

Next day

"hey"

"hey" I greeted back.

I look up to see who speaks and it's Marie.

"Reviewing again?" she asked while taking her seat.

"Yeah, unlike you, you don't study," I said sarcastically while she just laughed.

"Just laugh why don't you help me with this" I rolled my eyes at her

She said while saluting "Okay madam!"

During the time that we reviewed, I could see Jameson pass by our table and later on I see him staring at me.I ignore him again.

The next day.

I see him again staring at me. I can feel his gaze on me. It starts to creep me up, why is he looking at me.

"Jillian! Jillian!" Marie called

"Hey, Jillian you're spacing out," Marie asks with concern.

She follows my gaze and sees Jameson.

"Yieee what is happening here? Love is the air is it?" she mocks I denied her.

After a few days.

"Hi" I heard a voice, I didn't bother to look whos speaking because I know its Maria

I say "hey Maria can you help me with this?"

"Ummm" I heard a hesitation and I looked up, I was surprised.

"Oh-h h-hi" I greeted nervously.

"Hello, can I sit here?" he asked.

"uh my friend-d is already sitting in there" I explained to him nervously.

Ring!

Suddenly my phone rang, I picked it up and saw who was calling it was Marie.

I answered, "Hi Jelly I couldn't go with you today, I have an urgent matter to attend, thank you!"

"Hey, Mar--" She ended the call immediately.

I put my phone back in my pocket and "nevermind" I talked to him.

He takes the seat and places his food.

"Hi! I'm Jameson Aguinaldo and you are?" he reached out his hand for a handshake.

I just stared at his hand and to his face "I'm Jillian Vergara'' continuing to observe his face, He had tousled dark brown hair, which was thick and lustrous. His eyes were a mesmerizing deep ocean blue, flecks of silvery light performed ballets throughout. His face was strong and defined, his features molded from granite. He had dark eyebrows, which sloped downwards in a serious expression. His usually playful smile had drawn into a hard line across his face. His perfect lips are ripe for kissing. His strong hands, slightly rough from working, held mine as he stared deep into my eyes. I couldn't help but blush.

He smiled "In which do you want to help you?"

And it all started there.

One normal day.

"Maria, have you seen Jameson today?" I asked her.

She responded, "No, have you?"

"uhh no too, hmm weird" I have a bad feeling about this

"why are asking of him, I am here no need for you to find him"

Someone approaches us "h-hi? a-are you-u J-Jillian?" he said nervously.

"y-yeah she-she's J-j-Jillian" Marie responded mockingly.

"Hey stop it. What is it?" I dissuade her.

"uhh-h Mr-Mr. Ja-Jameson is in the cli-clinic" he uttered.

"What happened to him?" I anxiously asked.

"I don't k-know" the man scratched his head

After he answers I drag Marie swiftly to the clinic.

As I approach the clinic I hear someone scolding. I opened and saw Jameson with a teacher talking to him.

" It's okay Mr. Blanc, I'll take it here," I said to the teacher.

"What happened to your face and why did you fight?" I solemnly said "what happens when something awful happens to you" and I continued to scold him.

"uh guys I'm gonna go out," Marie said.

I just nodded to her.

"I'm sorry," he said apologetically.

"Okay I'm sorry too, I am worried for you" I smiled at him.

"Hey," he greeted.

"hmmm" I replied.

"Look in my eyes," he said.

I followed look into his eyes.

"What do you see?"

"I see a very sincere man," I say to him that made him smile.

"I want you to hear this. Before you, I've only ever played with women, and they were so very different from each other and they have their points. You are some holy blend of them all as if the universe made someone that if I ever met them, I'd know for sure they were unique in all the world. So, I'm so happy to have met you, and I'm scared too; there are such joy and such pain. I've never wanted any form of eternity until now, I never saw the point. I like you, can you be brave enough to take my hand?"
