HE’S SERIOUS ABOUT marrying me. That’s the only fact that ran through my mind as we prepared for our wedding. And now, we’re here in a known local boutique to have our fitting. "Good morning, Miss Jannah and Sir Jeremy. This way, please." The lady lead us towards a room where we were greeted by a lot of wedding dresses, making my mouth hung in awe. The room is massive, and each side of the room has a hanger rack on which the dresses were hung. There was a couch in the middle of the room and in front of it is a huge closed platform with double doors. Oh, wow. I turned to Jeremy, and I almost blinked when I caught him staring at me with a small smile on his face, causing my heart to kick. Damn. I shouldn't mind his stares. I cleared my throat. "What about you?" "You first. I want to see you in your wedding dress." "You might fall harder," I joked and smirked at him. Taking a step closer to me, he playfully grinned as his stares became intense. "I already did."A gasp escaped fro
MY FEELINGS FOR him started when we were in high school. I was about to get hit by a flying ball when he caught it for me, and he ended up getting hit. After that day, I started to notice every small movement that he makes, starting from the way his fingers brush his hair, up to the way he bites his lips whenever he’s thinking, frustrated, or when he wants to say something but chooses to keep it with him instead. I couldn’t accept that I am feeling this way for him— for my best friend since I was still in my diapers. And he doesn’t even have a single idea about what I feel for him, and I kept it for years. Until something happened between us. We play with fire over and over again every time he gets drunk, and he doesn’t even remember that I am the woman who he was making love with. Although it hurts, I accept what he can give just to feel his warmth until I get used to our set-up. Not until I got pregnant.
“YOU'RE DRINKING AGAIN. Stop." I was about to grab the bottle he was holding but he quickly moved hia hand away. I shook my head. Here he is again, drinking. I smiled sadly as I looked at him. He looks so broken. His hair is really messy and his eyes are bloodshoot red. “Don’t stop me, Jannah. I need it,” he said firmly and drank again. I let out a sigh as I watched him drinking his heart out. Jeremy just found out that Jella has already a boyfriend and this time, Jella took her relationship seriously. Jella is Jeremy's first love. Jella was the first woman whom Jeremy took seriously, and probably the last. But then, Jella cheated on him last year and even though the bitch cheated on my friend, the jerk still loves her. “Jeremy, why don't you just move on? She cheated on you, okay? She fucking cheated. Even if she cheated, why do you still love her?” I blurted out in annoyance. Jeremy is stupid as hell. Why does he always set his eyes on Jella only? If only he would open his he
After 6 years I SIGHED as that memory flooded my mind. That was the first time something happened to Jeremy and me and after we did it, he fell asleep. I dressed him up even though my core was hurting as hell. Later, in the morning, he thanked me and he still treated me like before. He didn’t remember the memories we shared in his bed which is a good thing. But it wasn't just the first time. That went on and on until I could no longer count the times we did it and to this day, I know he still doesn’t have any idea about our sexual affairs. Good thing he has a lot of women but I know I’m the only woman he fucks. According to him, he’s always loyal to Jella and he can’t just do it with another woman. I rolled my eyes at that thought. Loyal, my ass. But here he is, fucking me. We were both 18 when we did it and now, we're 24. He's a doctor and I'm a veterinarian. We're both working here in one of the fam
“DOC. JANNAH. ” I looked at Ashley, my assistant. She's been my assistant for three years already. Hardworking and efficient, I must say. Her wavy hair is tied into a half ponytail and her soft features contorted in pain. My forehead knotted in confusion. What's going on with her? Her face is slightly pale. "What is it, Ash?" I adjusted my reading glasses. She scratched her head as if she’s confused on how to tell her situation before touching her stomach. I looked at her stomach and back at her. She’s getting paler and her face contorted even more as if she’s in great pain. "Dysme?" She shook her head as she blew air like she was having difficulty. Her breath is shaky and beads of sweats formed on her forehead. I couldn’t help but be worried for her. Is she okay? "LBM," she whispered, enough for me to hear it. Oh, I thought she was on her period. I nodded at what she said and took the medicine kit in my drawer. I took a one tablet of Diatabs and gave it to her. “Take
"WHY DO YOU LOOK ANGRY?" I asked him when we had finished ordering our meals. Jeremy frowned at my question. “Angry? What should I be angry about?” I raised an eyebrow at him. He didn’t meet my gaze and just focused his attention on his food, making me roll my eyes heavenwards. Okay, he likes to act clueless, then? "A while ago. You even left me there and went inside the cafeteria first. What the fuck made you angry?” I sipped on my soup and moaned in delight. The soup is still hot, which makes it even more delicious. "Yummy,” I mutted. Licking my lips, I threw my gaze at him. He gulped upon looking at me and when he noticed that I was staring at him, he immediately averted my gaze. My forehead knotted in confusion. Sometimes, I don’t really know what’s going on inside his mind. "Nothing. I wasn’t angry. Just hungry,” he playfully replied and shrugged. My eyebrow arched. Really? I didn’t bother to make a reply. Obviously, the fool is just lying. If he doesn'
I JUST stared at Jeremy who was drinking heavily. He already drank a lot and he has been telling me to drink with him a lot of times but I always refuse. I don't know the reason why he's drinking. There is a part of me that feels sad because I know, after this, something will happen between us again. Jannah the bedwarmer. "Shot, Jan." He handed me his shot glass which contains a hard drink. I shook a him to show my refusal and gently lowered his hand. I sighed and looked at the clock. It's already eight in the evening. "Jeremy, I need to go," I said without looking at him. I stood up to pick up my bag but I was so shocked when he pulled me to sit on his lap. I cursed on my mind and closed my eyes tightly. Shit. This is what I’m saying. "No. Let’s have fun first,” he said huskily and lowered the shot glass on the table. He wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled his face on my neck. I swallowed hard when I felt his breath on my earlobe. It sent shivers down my spine
Chapter 6 AFTER JEREMY and I did it, he immediately fell asleep while I was left lying there, staring at the ceiling, dumbfounded because of what I heard. I quickly dressed Jeremy and myself up, not even minding my sore body, and went straight to my apartment. My mind couldn’t think of anything else but his words. He muttered my name, not Jella’s. I think I’m going crazy because of the situation I am in. Fuck this. Sleeping with your best friend is really not okay, especially if you aren’t a couple. Damn, does he know? I mean, he was drunk, right? I couldn’t sleep last night even though my body feels tired already! I was sleepy but my mind was awake for 20-fucking-4 hours! Letting out a frustrated sigh, I messed with my hair and gripped it in frustration. I looked myself in the mirror. My clothes are already packed because we are going to Sumilon Island today and my eyes. . . fuck. My eyebags are hella huge! It was so freaking obvious that I lack of sleep! I jumped

Chapter 32"I ALREADY GOT a wedding coordinator, but they're not available on weekends. Do you have any dates in mind so we can meet them and plan the wedding?" Jeremy wiped my lips with wet wipes and wiped the sweat off my forehead.I just had morning sickness, and Jeremy was there by my side to make me feel better. His warm hand, caressing my back, made me feel better."Are you free by Tuesday?"He threw the wet wipes in the trash can under the sink and I saw him nod his head. "Yeah, sure. I'll clear my schedule. This is a lot more important." He stood up straight and smiled gently at me.I bit my lip as his words sent butterflies flying at the pit of my stomach. The way he said it sounds like our parents hadn't set us up, and that it's our decision to get married.I couldn't do anything but nod as my gaze moved towards his messy hair. I lifted my right hand to fix it, and as I did, he was just staring at me.I didn't mind him.When I was done, I was about to put my hand down when h
MARRIAGE. WAIT, what? Are they serious?Jeremy and I looked at each other. His expression is just calm and composed as if what his mother said didn't bother him. What the hell? He should be bothered! It's his freedom that's on the line! I angled my face towards him, making sure that his parents couldn't see my expression, and widened my eyes at him, silently telling him to protest. But he didn't even budge. "Jeremy! It's your freedom! Do you want to be tied to me even if you still aren't sure about your feelings for me?" I said in a low voice, just enough for him to hear. His eyes are still fixed on his parents as if he didn't hear anything from me.I jumped from my seat when something warm enveloped my hand and when I looked at it, I saw Jeremy's hand wrapped around mine, his thumb softly caressing the back of my palm. My forehead knotted. And? What is the meaning of this?"Sure."A gasp escaped from my lips when I heard what he said to his parents. Is he fucking serious?! This is
SOMETIMES, THE way time flies too freaking fast makes me wonder how the universe spins. I can't believe it's already a month since we found out that I am pregnant. Our baby is already growing inside me, and I know the time will come when our parents will know about this. At that thought, shivers ran down my spine. What will their reaction be? We haven't told them yet, and Jeremy and I haven't talked about telling them. Now, I wonder. When will we tell them? I want to tell them as soon as possible."What's the matter?" I felt him kiss the side of my forehead. We are watching a Netflix series, but no matter how hard I try to focus my attention on what we are watching, my mind always goes back to our parents. It kind of bothered me that we still haven't told them about our situation until now. It's been a month.I let out a sigh. "When are we gonna tell our parents?" I looked at him. He was staring at me, and I couldn't name the emotions in his eyes. He was caressing my hair as if think
Chapter 29 JEREMY SETTING my picture as his wallpaper is something I didn't expect, but I guess I have to expect the unexpected whenever I'm with him. I looked at my phone when it beeped, and oh, it was my bitches. I immediately opened the conversation and did a backread. My eyebrows rose at what I read. So, the bitches are planning to dine at a samgyupsal restaurant tonight. Woah, this was so out of the plan.I replied that I'll go, and I will be bringing Jeremy with me. I know, Frostine will also bring Ayden. Nothing new about that. I was about to put my phone down when Jeremy sent me a message, making me jump from my seat. Shit. My index finger immediately tapped on the notification bar and read his message. Do you have any plans for tonight?Biting my lip, I stared at his message for a long time and remembered my plans with my friends. But, oh, yeah. I'll be bringing him with me. With a sigh, I clicked on the message box and began to type a message. Yes. Come with us. We
DATE. THE word I didn't expect to come out of Jeremy's mouth with regards to me. The word I didn't expect Jeremy would ask me about.I stared at him, mouth hanging open, trying to let his words sink into my brain. I keep staring at his face, looking for signs that he was just joking, but I didn't see any. Wait, did I hear him right? He wants to ask me out on a date?I blinked my eyes, trying to absorb the things he had asked me, or trying to wake up from this silly dream my brain had created- if this was a dream. His words still keep on repeating inside my head. I tried to convince myself that maybe, I was just dreaming. That him, standing in front of me with a smile on his face is just a mere illusion my mind creates. But then, he laughed, making me blink again. Raising his fingers, he flicked my forehead, and I jumped out in surprise. "Silly. I know that look. You're not dreaming, Jann," he said with utmost gentleness and looked straight into my eyes. He held both of my hands an
Chapter 27 "WHY ARE you always here?" I rose an eyebrow at Jeremy when I saw him enter my clinic. He flipped the door sign to the other side, and the words 'come in, we're open' was facing at me. There was a smile on his face as he handed a bill to Ashley, signaling her to go out for a while and buy the foods she wants. With a smile, Ashley accepted the bill and went out of the clinic. My eyes rolled back to my head. God, Ashley chose foods over me! But if I were in her position, I would probably choose the former, too. "Why? Is it bad to visit you and our child?" He grinned at me and put something on my table which I didn't realize he was carrying. My eyes widened at the sight of foods. Hell, yeah! Jeremy chuckled upon seeing my reaction and took the foods out from the plastic. "Foods are the only things that calm you down. Hell," he ran his fingers through his hair, "what about me?" he dramatically asked. I scoffed at him and sat properly, ignoring his question and focusing my
Chapter 26 AND JEREMY was really serious about making me his woman. I know, he feels nothing for me, but he's the one who put a label to our relationship. But it's fine, though, and I don't complain. I can benefit from this. At least, I won't have to lie anymore when someone asks about my civil status."What do you want to eat?" Jeremy asked me as his eyes were fixed on the menu. I looked away. Looking at the menu hurts my eyes. Its brightness makes me feel dizzy and nauseous. "Spicy chickenjoy, chocolate sundae, and fries. And I want to upgrade my drink. Coke float," I muttered in a soft voice. We're in Jollibee right now because I told him I wanted to eat dinner here.A small smile formed on his lips as he nodded his head. "That's all?" He threw me a sideway glance. I nodded and yawned, feeling sleepiness kicking in. Fuck. "Yeah." I couldn't help but hug Jeremy from the back and press my cheek against his back. I closed my eyes and hugged him tighter. I could feel him get froze
Chapter 25 I STARED at him, dumbfounded. He. . . he won't let me move on from him because maybe. . . maybe he will fall with me, too?I laughed bitterly and stared at him in disbelief. My chest felt like it was being torn apart and it tightened, making my tears well up in the corners of my eyes. I gasped in pain and worry flashed in Jeremy's eyes upon seeing my reaction. I tried so hard to prevent my tears from falling but they fucking did. Fuck this. "Jann, did I say something wrong?" He tried to wipe my tears but I pushed his hands away. I shook my head and wiped my tears before looking at him. I didn't bother hiding my pain and my teary eyes. Heck. I let out a deep breath, hoping that doing that would make my chest feel lighter, but it didn't. I let out a sigh again before opening my mouth to speak,"I'm," I gulped, "I'm not just another 'maybe', Jem." I looked at him. "Please, don't. . . don't say those words to me. I want something. . . certain." I sniffed and wiped my tear
