Chapter 14: Super fast

Ivy's POV

I deleted his number on my phone and even changed my number. I don't need a cheater like him in my life. I went for seminars to study better for our pharmacy, and all the things I have learned there ai always reached it to my workers. Tita Sabby did a great job when I saw how much she enjoys her job under our pharmacy.

"Ivy, you'll be staying in that condo okay and I tell you this huh, don't ever get worried about the pharmacy here because it is in the good hands," she said as she showed her palms. I laughed at what she have just done.

"Don't worry too much about this Ivy, you should focus on your review okay so that you will get and Ace that board exam!"

That's what I did after packing my things I went to Manila and stayed there for my review. I am so much overwhelmed because the only thing that I care is what book to read after reading the first book. I am so happy at the same time excited to hold my license soon!

Time seems to passed by so fast that here I am now nervously waiting for the results of the examination. I believe that I did well but my anxiousness were still in here. I haven't went home yet I even off my phone deactivated my accounts to remove some pressures but yeah the pressure was still hear while waiting for the call from my mom and aunt Sabby.

I almost jumped and fell outing my balance when I heard the telephone rang.

"Hello..." I answered nervously and all I heard was screams and congratulations.

"Mom..." I said still nervous.

Their voices echoed as they were so loud that I couldn't understand them at all. luckily someone grabbed the telephone out of them.

"Hey, Ivy this is dad, congratulations," he said and I heard him sniff. f**k is he crying?

"Dad are you crying right now?" I ask him and I heard him cry even louder.

I felt butterflies on my stomach my dad seems to be so proud of me right now.

I packed my things and finally opened my social media accounts. I didn't see such notification coming. Did it really happened that was the question running on my mind.

I went home with my things. upon opening the gate I received a warm and loud congratulations from my family.

"Hello top notch Pharmacist," my dad greeted me as he offered me a hug.

"I am so proud of you," he said while giving me warm embrace.

"Thanks dad," I whispered and we walked to mom's side who is now crying so hard.

"Mom don't be such a crybaby," my sister teased my mom and mom just laughed awkwardly while laughing at the same time crying.

"I am just so proud for what she become!" mommy defended herself.

"Oh, yeah, all of us are proud of her. Well done Ivy, " she said and nodded at me. My sister is still casual as before.

The night after the party at home. Levi called me to congratulate me and we ended up talking for about I don't even know how long.

The next day I went shopping with my aunt Sabby and while she was strolling around. the only thing I want is to rest for a while.

While sitting somewhere around the stall I saw some familiar face. I immediately rolled my eyes up.

"Ivy..." he called but I just passed by him and went to search for my aunt Sabby.

Aunt Sabby were kind of getting puzzled by my sudden clingy actions.But I did this to get off Loft away.

The other days become a busy day for me. I was lucky enough not getting and receiving presents coming from that i***t. I guess I moved on, that fast? Yeah, super fast. I do not care about him any more. He was just a mistake, a stranger, not even a mistake, just a man who passed by, I just confronted him and given him some of my precious time that is why we had a thing that has now ended.

I went to the grocery store to buy some snacks and groceries I've been lacking foods in my apartment, apparently after some debates with my parents they finally allowed me to live in my apartment, will soon come back to my condo once the renovation was done. The house or should I say our home is quite far from ours so I told my parents that I should just live here in my apartment. After buying lots of groceries I went to the cashier.

Days and weeks pass just like a boring day. It becomes more boring because Levi wasn't around she is been in London for a while, I wonder what she was doing there. I am quite extravagant.

My old classmates set an event for us to meet again, it is a club party. Well I dressed up as it is. But the effin classmates of mine wants everybody to bring their date and now here I am getting frustrated!

Who the f**k shall I pull for this f*****g event? Damn I hate these idiots for bringing up these kind of party, can't we enjoy our lives, alone? Until I remembered Levi!

"Yes! Hello Ivy!" she greeted me energetically, based on her clothes seems like she just got home from work.

"Got home, from work?" I asks her and she nodded.

"You know what it is albeit a little tiring but I enjoyed the event, the are a lot of handsome and delicious delicacies, rawr!" she said which made me roll my eyes..After what happened I never wanted to date anyone again, well I did tried but I always fail.

"Don't be too bitter! You know what we live to enjoy our lives so let's have and collect some boys too!"

"Says by the one, I mean coming from you, huh?" I teased her she suddenly out of her words. I knew her, she is not the type of friend who can moved on immediately she is too attached to her lovelifes.

"Let us not talk about mine, duh!" she said and rolled her eyes.

"Okay fine, actually I have a problem, we have this event with my batch mates and the goal is we need to bring our lovers in that party, unfortunately I have no one to bring, shall I ask your brother?" I asked her which make her morose.

"Hey! not my brother he was so young, duh!"

"I am just kidding, well that's my problem now Lev, I don't know who will I ask to accompany me, I have a choice not to go there but the punishment is I should pay for the whole event, like what the hell!"

She suddenly stops talking and pretend to be thinking while putting her fingers under her chin. and then her face lit up as is she got a bright idea.

"Well I have known someone!" she said excitedly but suddenly her smiles faded, but also she managed to fixed herself again. Wow such an iconic woman who can change from one mood to another.

"So, what was it, will you allow me to date your sibling?" I asked her and she just rolled my eyes and even showed me her middle finger making me laugh so hard.

"Liam."

Wait, what?

"What did you say?"

"Liam, Liam Vasquez, I can tell him or I can suggest him," she said and smirk at me. What the heck why would I date him.

"Lev, he is kind of related to LOFFY!" I shouted and she just laughed.

"It is not as if, Loffy will be around that man is busy, we can't find his ass of there," she said and she opened her phone I think she called someone else, she muted her microphone.

Liam. Well he is a fine man, some of my classmates knows him, but I am kind of awkward to him, we've been interacting quite some time but he is still different.

"Okay, so what's your decision girl?" Levi suddenly speaks from the face time that made me shocked what the heck I have been thinking deeply here!

"Well, yes, agreed, how could I contact him then?" I asked and she shook her head.

"There's no need for you to contact him, Tell me the details and he will pick you up."

She said and I did what she asked me to do I gave her all the needed information and he forwarded it to Liam.

The day has come and I got a message from an unknown number.

unknown number:

Will fetch you at 6pm.

he said I replied okay, I know it was him. my personal number is now too private that only few has access to it. I was just so unlucky because this was the only number that I have given to Levi.

I wore a simple black dress paired with stilettos and bring with me my clutch bag whick contains my card and of course make up for re touch.

He called me and he told me that he is already in lobby so I immediately entered the elevator to go down. he is looking so find with his clean polo plus neatly ironed slacks. So formal for a club party.

We ride through his car until we reached out destination. I am still awkward with his presence but he always smiled at me that made me think it is okay for me to clung my arms to him. I did, I clung my arms which made him look at me. I was about to get my arms back but he hold it.

"No, just place them there, be comfortable," he said and I smiled at him.

While walki g some people were looking at us and saying something but I don't care think what ever they want to think about us but I only want this party to end.

He never leaves my side even the time when we need to dance in the dance floor, he was so game in doing the dances especially the dance good for two people. Yeah he is even staring intently in my eyes when we.danced tango. Like who the heck played that!

"Let's take our sit," he whispered seems like he think of it like we were dancing for quite a long time.

"You are a good dancer," he complemented me as we toss our glasses. While sitting we had some small talks about random things the party is still.quite formal good for the organizers that's why there are times that we can talk to each other since the there are part of the party which is so boring.

After the party I thanked him.

"Hi, anyways thank you, I appreciate it, I don't know how can I make these thing with you, well anything you want in return I'll do it for you," I said and Is aw him smirk. What the heck Ivy I think you have spitted some lame words.

"Well, let's have a date." he said and bid his goodbye, he even opened the elevator for me. The think sinks in with me when the elevator opened what the heck Liam!

"Okay, date it is."

Basic. I don't need to worry about it too much! I and telling myself to calm down and then typed my response to him.

to Liam:

okay, let's have a date. Basic.

Life had taken unexpected turns, and I found myself standing at a crossroads once again. The sting of past mistakes still lingered, but I had grown stronger, wiser. Deleting his number, changing mine, and immersing myself in studies and work was a remedy I needed. The path to success lay before me, and I was determined to seize it.

The journey was exhilarating and demanding. Seminars and courses filled my days as I delved deeper into the world of pharmacy. My heart swelled with pride as I witnessed my knowledge benefiting not only me but also the dedicated team at our pharmacy. Aunt Sabby's guidance and my own dedication were shaping a promising future.

"You've got this, Ivy," Aunt Sabby's reassuring words echoed in my mind as I settled into my temporary condo. Her confidence in me fueled my drive to excel in my studies. The familiar routines, the solitude, and the focus on my goals kept me grounded, shielding me from the distractions of the past.

With determination, I embarked on my journey to become a top-notch pharmacist. The days blurred together as I immersed myself in textbooks, notes, and endless studying. Each step was a building block towards my dream, and I couldn't afford to falter.

The results of the board exam were a culmination of hard work and dedication. The call from my parents brought forth a wave of emotions. Their tears of joy and pride melted away any remaining doubts, and I basked in the glow of their support.

Returning home, I was greeted by a chorus of cheers and warm embraces. My dad's pride was palpable, and my mom's tears of happiness touched my heart. My sister's casual teasing was a comfort, a reminder of the love that enveloped me.

"Hello, top-notch Pharmacist," my dad greeted me with a smile, and his words resonated in my heart. Their unwavering belief in me had propelled me to this achievement.

Levi, my ever-energetic friend, shared in my joy. Her vibrant energy was contagious as she recounted her own adventures and escapades. Her presence brought a much-needed lightness to my intense journey.

Amid the celebrations and reunions, one name remained conspicuously absent—Liam's. He was a chapter of my past that I was content to leave behind. The wounds he had caused were healing, but the scars remained. As life moved forward, his memory faded into the background.

The upcoming club party, organized by my old classmates, was an unexpected twist. Their insistence on bringing dates left me frustrated, but Levi's suggestion brought forth an unconventional solution—Liam. A hesitant agreement was reached, and before I knew it, the day had come.

Liam's unexpected call, his calm demeanor, and his willingness to be my date left me intrigued. Dressed in a simple black dress, I met him, and together we navigated the formal event. Awkwardness lingered, but his smiles and warmth eased the tension.

Dancing, laughter, and small talk filled the night. Liam's unexpected skill on the dance floor surprised me, and his willingness to be by my side was both reassuring and perplexing. As the night progressed, his presence became a comfort, and his genuine interest in our conversations was a revelation.

The party came to an end, and Liam's suggestion for a future date lingered in the air. My simple response set the stage for a new chapter—one filled with uncertainties and possibilities.

"Date it is," I agreed, and as the elevator doors closed, I couldn't help but wonder about the path that lay ahead.

Life was full of surprises, and the threads of destiny intertwined in unexpected ways. Liam's presence had once been a source of turmoil, but now, it seemed, our paths were destined to cross again.

As I settled into my condo that night, a mix of anticipation and curiosity filled my heart. The future was a canvas waiting to be painted, and I was ready to embrace whatever came my way.
