"Click!" The key inside the door lock turned.

"What are you doing?" She confusedly asked as she watched Steven unlock the door.

When Steven turned the knob and pulled the door, it creaked open. He did not reply to her request or previous questions as he walked out of Julie's office. There were so many mixed emotions going on inside his head, and Steven did not want to say something that would hurt her more or make them argue.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut, and Julie was left standing alone with various thoughts running through her mind.

"I should have known this would not have ended well," Julie said as she tried to keep her balance.

However, Julie was unsuccessful in keeping it together. She missed her steps, fell back a little, and landed on her desk.

'I mean, he's in his thirties, and I am asking him to keep us a secret like we are still in high school.'&n

    Steven pulled a chair and sat down as Jackson took the seat next to him. They had about a few minutes of silence before Steven responded. "Julie said she needs our relationship to be a secret."Jackson had been in a relationship long enough to know that this was a conflict of interest going on between Julie and his friend."And how do you feel about that?" He asked."I told her it was okay and asked her out for lunch," Steven said. He felt embarrassed and thought it was too soon for him to complain about his new relationship."I did not ask you for the response you gave to Julie. I want to know your genuine feelings about this issue and if it is what you wish for too." Jackson said.He knew Steven and Julie were two injured individuals, and if they allow their actual emotions to get suppressed, their relationship will be nothing but a lie."I don't know for s

    "Uh, Extravagant restaurant, eh? Why can't I wrap my head around that name?" Julie jokingly asked with a little giggle.Steven glanced at her before staring at the road again. He kept one hand on the steering wheel and used his other to hold Julie's hand, squeezing it gently, but tightly."Come on, babe. It's a new and fancy restaurant that had recently opened, that's why you don't know it. You are my queen, and I want to treat you as such." Steven replied.Julie gave him an awkward smile and reluctant expression that made Steven feel like he had said something wrong or ridiculous."What? Did I say something bad?" He asked, feeling confused and uncertain about why she made such a face."I don't know. But you and I curled up on the sofa watching an old school movie with some bags of chips will sure make me feel like a queen too." Julie calmly answered as she covered Steven's hand

    "Steven!" Chloe shouted when she got outside, but Steven was nowhere in sight."Steven!!" She kept screaming while sobbing.People that were leaving the restaurant, and those that were coming in, gazed at Chloe with various expressions. Some of them look confused, others seem scared, while the rest glance at her weirdly.However, their faces did not matter to Chloe since the only face she needed to see was Steven's. The air was getting cold outside, and Chloe's sleeveless dress was not the proper attire for that kind of weather. She shivered as she paced back and forth, hoping to see Steven's face among the various faces passing by.Matt finally got done with his brief discussion with the receptionist, and when he turned his head, Chloe was nowhere in sight.He approached the doorman and asked, "Excuse me.

    Another waiter came up to Matt and Chloe and directed them into a private room. When the waiter left them alone, Matt finally let Chloe down. She felt so good being on her two feet again but also hated him for carrying her against her will."Look here, Matt! I am not your puppet! And I..." Chloe said, but stopped her sentence in the middle as the beauty of the room caught her eye.The space in the room appeared partly cut off from the noise of the premier restaurant by a gleaming oval curtain, which seemed decorated with four-thousand-five-hundred sparkling fiber optics, which fell dramatically from the ceiling. The crystal chandelier in the form of raindrops made the room more glittery and romantic.Chloe slowly twirled around, admiring the design of this room. Every single detail was breath-taking to her. She felt comfortable as the light reflected everything flawlessly."Do you like it?" Mat

Jackson answered between sleep and awareness."Morning, bro. Sorry for disturbing your beauty sleep. I know your night was pleasant since your wife was by your side last night. Ha, good time!" Steven stated in a cheerful tone.Jackson shifted to the right and gazed at Jennie's sleepy face. He pulls her hair behind her ears and smiles. She had not gotten a new phone, and he planned to pick up an original one that he had custom-made for her this afternoon since his schedule was free."I am glad you know that you are interrupting my sleep.

    When Jackson got into the living room, he still felt this sharp anger running through his veins. The entire house seemed like a cage to him, his body was building up tension, and the stiffness within the air made him feel like he was slowly suffocating.At that moment, all Jackson wanted was to leave the anger and the pain at home and go somewhere else. So that's what he did. Jackson left the house, got in his car, and drove off.After a three-hour drive, Jackson found himself at "Twilight Beach." He packed his car, got out of the vehicle, took off his sneakers, and walked on the sand.

It was a white phone with tiny yellow writings on the frame saying, "I love you."The loneliness in the living room made Jennie feel extra awful as she stared at both phones on the table. She only desires to own one, which is the phone Jackson bought. However, she could not reject the other since it will be at the cause of exposing her secret."Okay, Jennie. You can fix this problem. All you need to do now is to work out everything one step at a time. Let's start with a thank you and see where the conversation goes." Jennie told herself.Jackson sat at the counter, eating a hot bowl of noodles. He sensed a presence in the kitchen and figured it was his wife.

    Jackson walked into the dining room, fully dressed in a suit, and Rose and Miya gazed away from their food and awkwardly stared at him. “Dada!” Milo shouted, jumping in his seat. Then Mila and Milu followed his lead and started yelling, “dada.” Those words brought a smile onto Jackson's lips even though he had heard it countless times for the past few months. Beaming with joy, he walked over to his kids' seats and took Milo, Mila and Milu out of their chairs one after the other, playing with them for a moment before putting them back into their seats. “Where are you going in a suit?” Rose asked, setting her fork down on the table. “Today is Miya's final trial date, and I'm driving her to the courthouse?” Jackson said, adoringly staring at Miya. Taking her focus off her son, Rose gazed at Milo, Mila, and Milu and said, “Can you guys say ‘Nana?” “Mom, you've been trying to make them say ‘nana’ for six months now. Th

    “Mom, bride, where we at?” The wedding planner said, walking further into the room.Mrs. Harper pulled up her daughter's gown zipper and smiled.“We are ready.” She mumbled, gently rubbing Julie’s arms as tears ran down her cheeks.“Awesome, bride, please come with me. Your father is waiting for you at the church door.”The wedding planner said.A look of hesitation crossed Julie’s face. Then she turned around and tightly hugged her mother.“I love you so much,” Julie said, sobbing softly.“I love you too, sweetheart.” Mrs. Harper mumbled, gently patting her back.Now that the bridesmaids were in the church hall, everyone was impatiently waiting for the bride, except Jackson.He was too focused on staring at Miya to care for the stuff going on around him.“Everyone please stand! The bride is about to enter.” The preacher said.

    “Groomsmen, Groom, you guys got to be out of here in the next twenty minutes and be in the church.” The wedding planner said as he walked into the room.Jackson stopped buttoning his shirt, gazed at him, and said, “Oh is the bridal party ready?”“No. I got words from the ladies' planner, and she said that the bridesmaids and the bride will be ready and in the church within the next one hour.”“Oh! Okay. We will be out in ten.”After the wedding planner left, Jackson turned to gaze at Steven, and a frown settled on his face.“Steve, breathe,” Jackson mumbled, walking over to his friend.“I'm getting married today,” Steven whispered, holding in his breath.“I know. But you have to exhale to release the tension building up inside of you.”“There's so much ‘what if’ questions going on in my head. Like what if Juli

    “Hey, mom. I'm heading out to meet with Steven.” Jackson said, walking into the living room. Rose took her eyes off Mila for a second, gazed at her son, and said, “Okay.” Then she focused back on her granddaughter. A look of disbelief crossed Jackson's face. Then he stared at Miya and whispered, “It's like I am invisible to her. Is it legal for a mother to replace her son with her grandkids?” “I think I have lost my rights as their mother,” Miya mumbled, chuckling softly. Rose rolled her eyes at both of them, and said, “Haha, fun… my grandbabies needs their nana.” “How long do you plan to stay here?” Jackson mumbled, struggling not to laugh. “Until they are old enough to call me Nana.” “Well. That's some plan. Anyways, I got to go. Steven is planning to invoke my right as his best man if I don't show up.” In a rush, Jackson kissed the babies on their foreheads and turned to stare at Miya, striving to say the words

    The wind blew aggressively against Miya's face, sending her hair in every direction as she stared into Jackson's eyes.“What do you mean?” Miya mumbled, digging her fingers into the sand.“Well… Ummm… Milo and Milu are men. Well they are babies now but they won't stay like that forever. And they love you even though they can't say it.” Jackson mumbled, taking his eyes off her and focusing on the ocean.“Oh,”“I know how much my mother means to me, and the love I have for her is endless. I think they feel the same way even though they can't speak now.”“How would you know that?”

    When she heard footsteps approaching the living room, Rose lifted her head and her gaze rested on her son and Miya. “Mom, we are going out. I just hired a nanny to come over, but can you stay with the kids for a few hours until we get back? Also, there will be a few other people coming over, would you please supervise them as they carry out their task?” Jackson said. “Sure, you two run about your business, and I will be right here with these adorable cuties,” Rose mumbled with a smile as Milu’s tiny hand grabbed onto her finger. His lips curved into a smile as Jackson watched his mother's face glowed with joy. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thanks, mom.” “You don't have to thank me. These are my grandbabies, and I would do anything for them.” Rose said. The corner of Jackson's mouth raised as he watched the bright smile on Miya's pinkish lips. After a few minutes, Jackson drove out of his yard with Miya in the front seat

    After Jennie entered Jackson's room, he followed her in and shut the door behind him.“You and her?” Jennie mumbled while sadly staring Jackson in his eyes.It took a moment of hesitation for Jackson to stiffly smiled and said, “We are just co-parenting.”It grew silent between them. Then Jennie walked over to the bed, sat down on the mattress, and mumbled, “You are a dad. That was something you always wanted, and it hurt so bad that I am not the one who made you a father.”“Believe me, that's exactly how I felt when I walked into that room and saw you with your son. It hurt, it hurt so bad that I felt like I couldn't breathe, like the air I was inhaling was suffocating me.” Jackson calmly intoned.As her hand gently caressed the sheet, Jennie ushered her eyes closed and took in a deep breath. Then she stared at Jackson and said, “But you don't feel that way now.”“What?
