Chapter 20 So much sparks (1/2)
Jeremy blinked his eyes sleepily. A smile formed on his face when he saw her sleeping face. His hand reached out to caress her cheek.
However, she disappeared.
His eyes widened. He looked around. His hands patted around.
Where was she? Where was Ryn?
”Ryn? Love?”
He looked around the room.
”Not again…”
He kept dreaming waking up with her. He remembered he always woke up earlier than her, especially when she was just starting to be a model. They always had a hard time to stay together when he was always busy with his work, and added with her being recognized as a model.
With their busy life, his temper and jealousy easily flared, especially when he saw her taking pictures with male models.
The months before they broke up, they always argued. He wanted her to decline her jobs while she stubbornly accepted a lot of works.
Because of his identity as a singer, they hid their relationship. She begged for them to reveal their relationship but he refused.
No one likes a singer who has a girlfriend.
They must hide their relationship for the sake of his career.
She cried because of him. She cried many times but he refused to introduce her as his girlfriend in front of everyone. Only those close to them knew about their relationship and he liked it that way.
A week before their breakup, he had a long weekday. So many shows to do and she was not there waiting for him at home. She had to work in another country and would only come back two days after that.
He was exhausted, wanting to be in her arms but all that welcomed him home was an empty apartment. He checked his phone, wanting to know what she was doing.
A collection of photos of her work, credit to Mei Li made him smile. He loved seeing her being so serious in everything she does. But he hated it when she was so busy until she had no time for him.
He looked for more. In the middle of frowning and smiling, he received a message from an unidentified sender. Without thinking his finger tapped on it.
His face darkened.
”No. Don't think about it. The past is in the past. Right now I have to work harder to take her back.” He shook his head a few times. He checked for the time and went to the bathroom to freshen himself. He still had to go to work today.
Later he would go to her place for lunch.
~*~*~
Ryn sighed and burrowed her body in the heaven called blanket. No plan to go out. She did not even want to have breakfast and lunch. She just wanted to sleep the whole day.
”I'm hungry,” she murmured sleepily but her body still refused to wake up.
”I need to eat,” the mumble continued beneath the thick blanket. She loved the smell of this blanket so much. Maybe she could nibble it to ease her hunger.
Her stomach growled even stronger.
She finally pulled herself and walked slowly to the kitchen. It was almost empty of food except for some tubs of yogurts and steaks from Harry.
Her eyes lit up at the sight of the steaks. She quickly heated them up and brought them to the sofa.
”No schedule today but I still need to exercise after all these steaks.” She closed her eyes in blissed. So delicious.
It took her no time to demolish everything. She rubbed her stomach happily.
”Need to buy grocery today.”
She grabbed a cap blindly after a quick freshen up. Her eyes were still heavy with sleepiness but she needed to buy grocery today or she would not have anything to eat for dinner.
She was just opening the gate when a familiar car stopped right in from of her.
