I woke up in a good mood that I decided to invite Ace to hang out, date to be exact. I missed him even though we meet yesterday.

I took my phone out on my bedside table and texted Ace.

“Good morning, baby. Are you busy?”

I waited 3 minutes, but still no response. I guess he really is busy.

I’ll just surprise him at his father’s company.

His father wanted him to be on top as soon as he graduated and got his license, but Ace insist that a way to success is to start and feel how hard it is to achieve the top.

I can say that he is the sweetest man I have ever known. I am so lucky that he is mine.

As I am showering I reminisced how I meet Ace. Every time that our first met slipped on my mind, I can’t help myself but to laugh. It was so funny. He looks like a kid that time, being shy to come up with a conversation to someone he got a crush on that he just muttered some childish sh*ts.

He was literally clowning himself that time.

I was at mall searching for a good dress to give. It was Ate Kendra’s birthday that day, when he walked close to me and asked me if how much the dress he was holding when in fact the price tag was just visible.

*(“Ate” is a Filipino call sign for big sister.)

I didn’t know it was his tactic, so I could notice him. Silly, Ace. But for sure, he got me. His tactics work because I noticed and fell for him hard.

He courted me for a month after we meet and I feel that something sparked. He is not the same with anyone that I didn't bother to make him wait longer. I accepted him.

As 11 o’clock strike, I took my purse and located Ace through Life360. I was lucky that Ace’s location is on, but I was confused as he was just at the coffee shop. I thought he was busy that he didn't answer me a while ago.

I shrugged my thought. Maybe his phone is dead batt that he didn't reply back. I hastily got myself on my vehicle and drove to Ace’s location.

I thought that I’ll be able to surprise him, but it was the latter because I am the one who got surprise.

I saw with my own two eyes how my boyfriend flirted on Ate Kendra or should I say b*tch Kendra.

How could they sneak behind my back? I should have known that Kendra would snatched my Ace to me.

I wanted to slap her. But I want to understand that maybe… maybe, they have something important to talk to that they are talking without me… that they are talking some surprises for me that they meet without my knowledge, even though they just knew each other. I understand it.

I wanted to understand Ate Kendra because she’s not a woman that would destroy someone’s relationship. No, she’s not like that. She's silent and my best friend, my sister. She would never do bad things. I trust her.

I wiped my tears when I saw how Ace held Kendra’s hand. I still understand that, but when he kissed Kendra’s hand and Kendra didn’t bother to push him away, that’s when I decided that even though how much you knew and trusted someone with all your life, she would still hurt you.

I gathered my strength and walked myself out from watching their sh*ts. My heart can't no longer take the betrayal I am seeing.

I got home while my tears are pouring like crazy. I can’t forget what they did. It is not easy. I can accept and begin a fight right there when it is not someone I look as a sister.

I know I just recently knew Ace, but I fell in love with him. I am serious with him. Kendra know that. Of all people, how and why?

I stopped myself from crying and wiped my tears again when my phone beeped. I took it, and open the notification.

And I hope I didn’t because the message that was sent to me by someone anonymous is more painful.

Someone sent me a video of Michelle and Ace making out in a public place.

How are they able to fool me easily? F*ck them all.

I hope that I didn’t meet them. I hope that I didn’t get close to them.

They know that I love Ace, but they still bother to fool me behind my back? They make me a stupid *sshole.

I want them to die.

I hate how I trusted them and they f*cking hurt me.

I cried all my heart out, when something popped in my mind.

I won’t let them be happy while they are fooling me.

F*ck them.
