Nine months later…Amber was lying in the labor and delivery room wearing the white polkadots hospital dress.

I was feeling deaf and numb as my whole world had stopped. My knees were slowly losing their strength and my chest was squeezed so hard making me feel breathless.My Blake didn't survive because he saved me. He saved me and our child.With a blank mind, I stepped my heel out of nowhere. I don't know where to go, I just did let my feet decide. My tears were streaming down on my cheeks while walking along the hospital halls. This is such a curse! I am a curse!"Hey, Aly. Where are you going?" I shoved Celestine's hand on me. I want to see him so badly. He can't die this time. He can't die this young!"I have to see him, Celestine," I replied without taking a single glance at her until I reached the emergency rooms.I immediately asked the nurse whose sweat was visible on his forehead and was pacing back and forth, assisting some

"Are you alright?" Blake asked, cupping my face while we were both sitting on the green grass of their garden. The loud bangs were gone anymore and the surroundings came back into normal.I nodded at him with my shaking nerves."Sir, are you alright?" Their guard asked. Blake shifted his view at him."Yes, I am. I am always fine when my baby is around," he started, giving me a toothy grin. I smirked at him. "Kindly report the incident here," he continued, to which their guard immediately agreed.I narrowed my eyes at him. "Did you make any trouble for the past weeks?" I inquired, crossing my arms over my chest.He chuckled then gave me a quick smack. "I stayed in the condominium and isolated myself here after to push me away. So, the accusation is denied," he replied.I shrugged my shoulders at him and took my

***"When you're sad, look at my eyes and you'll be happy.""Your eyes are really cute. I am happy already. I think you should also put a shining stud on your ear so that it would match your sparkling eyes.""You want me to?"***"Shit! Blake!" I cussed to myself while holding my head in pain. The constant flashing of episodes makes my head hurt a lot more and more."Ma'am, are you alright? Are we going to the hospital, instead?" The taxi driver asked, meeting my eyes in the rearview mirror. I shook my head at him as a response."No, Kuya. Let's go straight to the address I have given to you." He nodded at me.I hope he was there at his condominium. I want to see him. I want to be with him. He was supposedly the one I should marry and not his best friend. I am such a fool!

After the honest feedback from my sister, I ended up wearing straight-leg jeans and a striped tee-shirt with a pair of flat black sandals then Celestine braided my hair so that I would look blooming and fresh.I said to myself that it's fine if I gained weight but now, I'm taking it back. I'm not happy to see myself like this. I looked so stressed!"Maybe I should start my daily routine exercise, what do you think?" I asked Celestine in the middle of our trip. She was leaning her head on the seat while listening to music from her earphone."Just enter your classes for the whole week and you'll be back into your natural figure," she replied. I raised a brow on her in confusion."What do you mean? Does it even help me?" I asked.She pulled out her earphones and looked at me with a blank face. "I mean… You, as a president, have a lo

Though it's hard for me to wake up this morning, I still did my best to force and convince myself to stay awake. I promised them last night that I will attend my classes today and I'm fulfilling it now.I was in the middle of eating my breakfast in bed when I felt a sudden spinning. I closed my eyes, trying to feel better. Then, I reached for my hot chocolate and took a few sips on it but after a moment, my stomach flips, I am feeling puking once again.I hurriedly jumped off on my bed and ran in the bathroom, positioning myself on the sink, puking out. It's really gross. Food poisoning seriously hit me so bad. Dizzy, I turned on the faucet and gargled water to release the sour taste then washed my face afterwards. Am I really going to school? Could I do it today in this condition? I might puke in the middle of our class. That's a total disgust. I questioned myself and weighed the situation.If

When someone says ‘adulting’, it means backpains. Earlier when I woke up, my lower back was seriously aching. I didn’t know how did it happen because I was just watching movies the whole time yesterday and it seems like so impossible that a couple of minutes while carrying my son was the main cause.I was stretching my body in front of the mirror when Barack disturbed me. “Mi Amore, you all right?” he asked then gave me his morning kiss. He knotted his hands around my waist and looked at me through the mirror’s reflection.“I’m having a backpain.” I held his hand. “But I’m all right. Your comfort eases the pain,” I said with a sincere smile.He kissed my shoulder and lifted his Dark Hazel eyes. “What did you do yesterday? I mean, have you played? Worked? Or carried heavy loads? That might be the cause,” he worriedly inqu

The bumper to bumper traffic tested my patience a lot. The usual fifteen to twenty minutes ride became almost an hour and a half because of rush hours and road interruptions. I texted my son’s phone immediately when we arrived at the condominium, waiting in the lobby. I decided to wait him here to avoid long chats with Blake and waste time as Barack was waiting us in the hotel. A minute after I sent the message, my phone beeped.“Come here upstairs, mom. I am still playing with dude,” it says. I smirked and typed my response. “Don’t use your scheme on me, Blake. My son doesn’t know how to read and type. Bring him here because your extended time is up.”Ethan doesn’t know how to read properly at his young age. He prioritized his play but he thinks very mature than a usual five-year-old kid. The only reason why I put phone on his bag was that for emergency and he can ask someone to read my

Amber’s POV“Hey, Amber!” We got startled when Thunder greeted from our back. Celestine and I were staying here at the living room, planning for a movie marathon while I was patiently waiting until it’s time to pick up my son. Mom and Dad were not around, it was so boring that I have to listen Celestine’s blabbers for the whole time.Thunder gave a short kiss on my cheeks before he sat on Celestine’s side and kissed her baby bump. What a sweet scene that I haven’t experienced during my pregnancy. “Amber, are you the only one who got here? Where’s Ethan?” he asked, shifting glances from Celestines swollen stomach to me.“He’s with Blake,” I replied casually that made his eyes grew in circles.“Did I hear that right?” He tapped Celestine for confirmation which she only answered with a single nod.

Blake’s Point of View Amber had been my life since we’ve met. She was my childhood best friend and my first love. I even proposed to her when we were seven at their wide garden where we usually play. However, a day after, I heard that she and her sister got into accident. That was also the last time that I saw her lovely face. Starting that day, I always get worried, hurt and anxious when I hadn’t saw her for days. I always make a time to peek on their wide metal gate to see if she was already home but years passed by, no Amber-- no Aly, showed up. I became a shit during my freshmen years. Alcohols, cigarettes, gangs and gang wars have been part of my life but never girls. I didn’t cling with women not until my dad let me transfer a school. Few days of my stay was quite boring as I tried to avoid fights for some reasons making some shit of men conclude that I am a fucking gay. Thankfully, I was gifted with masculine body and

I couldn’t explain the extreme gladness that covered me when I saw how happy Ethan was after seeing the sleepy face of Blake. He immediately ran to him and encircled his arms on Blake’s feet. Unable to process the situation, he made a facepalm and blink a few times before he realized that it was all real then he lifted my son and caged him on his arms.“Dude, it’s almost noon and you just woke up? Don’t you have any work to do like my Dada?” Ethan asked. Blake smirked and patted his head. “I have loads of things to do but I prioritized cleaning the place last night because I assumed that my Son will be here soon.” He met Ethan’s eyes. “I didn’t expect it to be an early visit,” he continued with a half-smile.We were visited by an awkward silence for a while before Blake broke it. “Can you please slap me?” he ordered which made our forehead scrunch

It's already late in the evening when I decided to check on my son before I go to bed. Earlier today, when we arrived at the hotel, the three of us talked that no one would tell anything to Barack. We will just let the moment pass and after this, we will forget everything. I mean, I'm not being dishonest to my fiance but I just wanted to be at peace. It's better that he would know nothing about us— Blake, Ethan and I.I reached the cold steel door knob as soon as I found my son's room and twisted it open. What welcomed me was a young man happily playing with his new toys. A smile suddenly made its way to my lips while stepping my foot towards his direction."Still up? Aren't you getting tired for the whole day?" I asked before plopping myself on his bed.He turned his head to meet me. "I love these toys, mom! Dude really is a nice guy because he brought everything that we like! And t
