Chapter 30

"C'mon, you can choose which phone". Darren promised with a smile.

We are here at the mall because he fulfilled what he said he would buy me a new phone. Even though he said that yesterday, he didn't forget it and this morning he actually invited me to come here to the mall to buy my new phone.

I bit my lower lip and turned to Darren who was smiling at me. I'm embarrassed, I'll admit it because we had to go to the mall just to choose and buy a phone. It's embarrassing for him because he has to disguise himself so that no one will recognize him and of course I still have to be disguised because somehow the person who is my boyfriend, one Darren Thomas Fabio, already knows me.

"Something wrong?" worry flushed in his face. I just shook my head and shyly held his hand and looked at him.

"Nothing's wrong but I'm just ashamed of you because you know--" I didn't finish what I was saying as he just kissed my forehead causing me to stop and look at him.

I saw him smile. "There's no problem with that. Besides, don't you want your phone to have a camera so we can take pictures?" I just smiled at what he said.

He's right, maybe I need to throw away the shame and accept this blessing.

Aiden's Pov

I was fixing things here when I saw this old picture. I looked at it for a moment and sat down on the stool to look at the picture.

The two brothers and I are still happy here in this picture. I still remember him saying that I was his big brother because even though Mom and Dad died early, I still took care of him but unfortunately we were run over by a truck and the driver intentionally ran away from his responsibility.

I wiped my tears for a moment, I didn't notice that the more days I spent, the more I remembered the past where it was full of pain and sorrow.

I hope I never end up in this situation, I hope he doesn't suffer like this. I hope he doesn't get involved in everyone's chaos.

I really miss you, my brother.

Fate Destiny's Pov

After we bought the phone, Darren invited me to eat at a restaurant. I'm happy because I feel like my dreams are starting to come true.

I just felt Darren hold my hand causing me to look back at him.

"Destiny, thank you for giving me another chance". I don't know myself but I feel like I'm in tears. Like this is so good to be true.

"You deserved that chance, eh" and I just smiled.

We spent the whole day together until we reached the resort. Darren's parents did see us and they were very happy because they said they were happy because Darren was happy.

Until we were just here and laying on the sand when Darren's phone rang causing us to stop walking for a moment and he answered the call.

"Oh, Jess" He was silent for a moment and after a few seconds, his face returned.

"Thower doesn't say anything to me. Yes, is it Friday?" Such a happy face. What are they talking about?

"Alright, alright. 7pm at Marigold Colors Hotel? Yes, We'll be there" and then he put down his phone and looked at me.

"Today is Wednesday so you still have time to get ready for Friday." I frowned and my eyes were full of questions.

"F-friday?" I asked him in confusion when somehow I composed myself.

But instead of answering my question, he just laughed at me, making me even more confused.

"Des, you will be my date for Friday. The network will have a party where I am and I'm bringing you there as my date"

I felt like my ears were ringing from what I heard. What did he say? Date? I have to admit, he is my boyfriend, but it's like I haven't accepted that he will ask me out.

I didn't even notice to myself that I was an idiot and Darren had to tap my forehead just to wake me up to reality.

"Huh? .. Darren, I'm sorry" I just went to my shame.

"Don't worry about it. If you're worried about what to wear, I'll take care of that too" and then I saw those smiles that he once showed Chiara, causing my happiness to suddenly disappear.

Is this what they say you are only second choice?

"Des, what's wrong?" I didn't notice that I was bent over again so I just shook my head for a moment and looked up at Darren and said I'm okay.

Maybe I'll just spend two more days and then later we'll go back to reality and in the next few days I'll know if it's just an illusion he's showing me.
