Gillian

This was the first time that I've seen Cupid like this. He was usually calm, composed—like nothing can really phase him, but right now, he was a stammering, blushing mess.

"I—I...What are you talking about?" he spluttered.

I kept my face serious since I wanted to see him get flustered for a little longer.

“I'm just kidding," I finally said when I saw that he couldn't find the right words. I let out a giggle when I saw him become even more embarrassed than before.

"Why are you so embarrassed? It was just a joke," I chuckled.

He cleared his throat and ran his fingers through his hair. "Y—yeah. I was joking too."

I raised one of my eyebrows. "Now that you don't seem so uptight as before, do you want to talk about why you've been avoiding me since yesterday?"

He coughed out and then patted his chest. "What do you mean? I'm not ignoring you,” he awkwardly said.

"Are you sure?"

He sighed. "Yes. I'm just...tired."

"Did Cyrus say something to you or something? Or maybe

    Gillian The strange man quickly disappeared within the crowd before I could even get his name. I was left dumbfounded, just staring at his retreating back, and only when Cupid came back did I snap out from my trance. "Hey, sorry I took so long. There was a line to the restroom, and I also bought us something to drink," he said, handing me a smoothie. "Oh, yeah. It's okay," I mindlessly said, taking a sip from the refreshing fruit smoothie. "Did...something happen?" he asked. I shook my head. "No. Everything's perfect, " I smiled, although I think it didn't sound sincere. The strange man from before still lingered in my mind, and I had an internal battle about whether I'll tell the incident to Cupid or not. "Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to go home—" "No, no," I interrupted him. "As I said, everything's perfect," I smiled, reassuring him. He looked so sad when he thought that I was uncomfortable, so I decided to push back telling him about my weird encounter with the

    Gillian There has been an implicit change in Cupid and I's relationship. After having sex in his car yesterday, we did it once again in his room. It was different from the first time that we had sex, and I honestly didn't know what to feel about it. It somehow felt more...special. It was now the next morning, and I struggled to open my eyes because I was engulfed by immense warmth. I snuggled closer to the warmth and heard a deep chuckle when I did so. I looked up and saw Cupid looking down at me with amused eyes. "What's up?" I awkwardly said. He once again chuckled, sending vibrations down my entire body. "Everything's good," he said. "Do you mind?" he pointed towards my hand. I looked at the position on my hands and saw that my right hand was right on top of his crotch. I quickly withdrew it away and untangled my body from him. "Sorry," I muttered under my breath. He sat up from his bed. "No worries. Do you want some breakfast?" "Yeah, sure," I mindlessly said.

    Gillian "Do you want to give us a try?" He froze. I was also left speechless after I said those words. Truthfully, I wasn't thinking that much when I said it. I think I was just too carried away by the situation and by my emotions. I coughed out and turned away from him when I realized the weight of what I said. "Sorry, sorry. Don't mind what I just said." He held onto my wrist and pulled me back in front of him. "Wait—wait. Repeat what you just said." I shook my head and looked down at the ground. "Forget it, Cupid. It was stupid." "It's not," he argued. "Please. Just...repeat it again. I want to make sure that what I heard is right." I sighed and finally looked him in the eyes. "Do you want to give us a try?" I repeated slowly. He stayed silent for a while, making me more anxious than I already am. I sighed and removed his grip on my wrist when he still did not respond. "Let's just go home, Cupid. It was just an innocent suggestion. You don't have to think so hard abo

    Gillian Cyrus snapped his fingers in front of our eyes. "Hey, guys! Did you hear what I just said? I said that Jared was finally caught! That lunatic is finally in prison!" he repeated in an excited voice. I still wasn't able to react or say anything. I know that this was supposed to be good news, but it somehow made me feel sad because I knew what was coming next. Cyrus noticed that Cupid and I weren't saying anything, so his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Why aren't you guys ecstatic about this? Ya'll should be jumping in joy?! Or maybe...," he pointed at the two of us. "Are you two speechless because of the immense happiness that you're feeling?" He nodded his head. "Ah, yes, yes. I know that feeling. But you shouldn’t hold your emotions back! This is a very happy occurrence!”I chuckled, finally composing myself. "Yeah. Yeah. This is just so sudden, that I wasn’t able to react right away. I'm so happy that he's finally caught," I half-heartedly said. "Right?" he patte

    Gillian"It's great to have you here, Gillian! We should have lunch together more often," Claire excitedly said as she looked at the full table. I was currently eating lunch with Claire, Liam, and the others in the company's cafeteria. I am not able to have lunch with Cupid for today since he and Cyrus has a meeting with some other people during this hour. Actually, he's been very busy with work these days, and we don't spend that much time with each other anymore. If it weren't for the quick kisses that we exchange all throughout the day, I would think that everything between the two of us was just a whim—a simple figment of my imagination. "Earth to Gillian!" Liam said, snapping his fingers in front of my face. "Oh," I said, snapping out of my trance. I smiled. "Yeah. We should do this more often.""We wanted to invite you to lunch for such a long time now, but sir Cupid's office was just too intimidating. We couldn't call you even if we wanted to," Olivia said. I chuckled. "W

    Cupid “Free up your schedule at lunch. We’re going to be meeting some people,” Cyrus said as he came into the office. I leaned against the swivel chair and groaned. “That’s my only free time for the entire day, Cyrus. Why would you set up a meeting at that hour?” I glanced towards the door to Gillian’s office and sighed. I was even planning to take Gillian out for lunch because I acted quite cold during the weekends. I know that I should have been more coaxing, but I just can’t help but act like that. Cyrus was wandering around the property, and I also saw Arthur watching us from the car when she was about to hug me. Arthur knows about my past, and I’m sure that he’ll definitely tell Cyrus about his suspicions. So, I just pushed her away for the time being. “Exactly! It’s your only free time, which means that it’s the ONLY time I can squeeze in a meeting. You have consultations all throughout the day!” he exclaimed. “Who are these people anyway? Are they so important that I need

    Gillian I leaned against the door and let out a deep sigh. I feel like Claire and Liam were right. Cupid is probably dating that beautiful woman. I was suspicious all throughout their conversation, but it was only confirmed when she came back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I sat down on my chair, already feeling defeated. I want to ask him about these things—to confirm if he’s together with that woman, or to ask if our relationship was just some kind of game. But then again, I can’t. Because who am I next to Cupid anyway? I was nothing but a bundle of awkward nerves with a futile wish for perfection. I wasn’t as confident or as smart as him, nor did I have even half of the amount of money that he had. Cupid deserves someone better. I could list so many people who would be a better fit for him, and I was better off without a spot in it. Not even an option...not even anything at all. I’m just Gillian, after all. And the woman who kissed him on the cheek looked to be the

    Gillian I was still avoiding Cupid. Thanks to our ever-busy schedule, it wasn't that hard to avoid him. However, I'm slowly losing excuses to make during the end of the shift whenever he tries to drive me back home. I could tell that Cupid wants to speak to me, but I am just not ready to hear his explanation. Rather, I feel like I'm afraid of hearing his explanation. Because if it's really what I'm thinking, and if he really has a girlfriend for the whole duration of our unlabeled relationship, then I don't think I can handle working here anymore. And this company was way too good to let go. It was once again the end of the day, but I was still sitting down on my chair, trying to come up with some excuses to tell Cupid. "Should I say that Claire invited me out once again?" I shook my head. "I've already used that excuse during lunch.” "Or maybe I have a haircut appointment? No...," I trailed off. He'll definitely insist on driving me there and waiting for me to finish. Just

    It has been exactly eight months since Axel and Cupid called each other to share that their respective wives were pregnant, and it has also been eight months since they’ve been seeing each other every month. Axel sighed as he packed his bags once again.“Are you ready, love?” Rosalind called out from the bathroom.Axel smiled and tried to sound cheery. “Yes, love. I’ll just load the bags in the car.”“Alright, I’ll come down after peeing,” she called out.“Stay here while I load our things, love. I’ll go back here to come and fetch you.”Rosalind flushed the toilet and moved out of the bathroom. “Wait, let’s just go together,” she walked toward her husband. She held onto her back as she walked since her stomach had gotten so big that her back failed to support her by itself anymore.Axel clicked his tongue and shook his head when he saw her struggling to walk. He placed their bags down on the ground and walked over to where she was. One hand held onto her back while the other held on

    Axel excitedly dialed Cupid's number, ready to tell him about the unexpected news. As much as the two of them try to deny it, they both know, deep inside their hearts, that they treat each other as very good friends. "Yo," Axel said into the phone. "I have something to tell you." "Axel!" Cupid greeted in an equally jolly voice. "I was just about to call you too. I also have some great news." Axel became a little suspicious when he heard that Cupid, too, had some good news, but nothing could really take away from his happiness after the news that he had just heard. "You go first, then," Axel presented since he is in a good mood. "Nah, man. You go first. You're the one who called me first. Go ahead," Cupid responded. "No, you." "No, you go first." "No, YOU go first." "No, you're the one who should go first." They endlessly said to each other. In the end, Axel sighed in frustration. "Let's just say it at the same time, alright. Then we'll explain it individually afterward." "Fi

    "Did you get it?" Rain excitedly said as she went out of her office. Liam looked up from his laptop and focused his attention on Rain. "Get what?" Rain sighed in frustration. "The invitation!" "What invitation?" he asked, confused. Rain walked closer to him and went behind his back. "I told you to check your personal email more often. Come on, open up your account." Liam quickly opened up his personal email account and clicked on the latest message. He read the contents of the email. "A high school reunion?" "Yeah," Rain nodded her head. "Let's go together." Liam smiled. In the course that they have been dating, he could feel that Rain had changed for the better. She had gained so much confidence over the past few months, and Liam feels proud knowing that she had grown to love and appreciate herself even more. "Yeah, let's go together. I also miss some of my high school friends." Rain smiled. "That's settled, then. Let's also buy our outfits together." *** Rain and Liam t

    "This is it," Cupid removed his hands from Gillian's eyes, revealing a spacious yet cozy-looking infrastructure filled with antique designs. "Our new bakery." Gillian looked at the infrastructure in awe, and suddenly got teary-eyed when she realized that they were going to be having a new chapter in their life. Cupid chuckled as he observed his wife's teary eyes. "Why are you crying? This is supposed to be a happy event, love." Gillian wiped her tears with her sleeves and tried her hardest not to cry. "I know, love. I'm just so proud of the two of us." Ever since Gillian and Cupid had been married, they started thinking more about their future. They both knew that Cupid's investments would be more than enough to provide for their everyday needs, but they still would want to have a steady, stable income where the two of them can work together. And as someone who enjoys cooking and baking quite a lot, Cupid suggested that they open a cafe near Briana's restaurant. He thought that

    No matter how many times Axel wakes up to Rosalind in the morning, he still can’t get over how beautiful his wife is. He smiled and leaned closer to her face, tracing her features from her eyes down to her lips.“Axel, stop that,” Rosalind swatted his hand away and scooted farther away from him.“Love, stay here,” Axel whined and pulled her closer, peppering kisses all over her neck.“I’m tired, Axel,” she grumbled and closed her eyes to get more sleep.“Why, my love? Didn’t you get enough sleep yesterday?”Rosalind clicked her tongue and glared at Axel. “Of course, I’m tired! You fucking ruined me yesterday.”Axel smiled with pride. “But you liked it, right?”Rosalind rolled her eyes and turned away from Axel, trying to hide her reddening cheeks. "Whatever. I'm going to sleep."Axel chuckled and placed a chaste kiss on top of her shoulder. "Rest well, my love. I'll be cooking some breakfast.""Mmh," Rosalind hummed, willing herself to sleep once again.

    Olivia and Dallas gazed back and forth between Liam who was on stage and Rain who was sitting right next to them. Olivia couldn't help but let out a small chuckle when she saw Rain's flushed face as other people also started teasing her. "How the fuck did he know what I was going to wear?" she asked. Dallas shook his head. "I went with him. He definitely didn't know. He just grabbed the first sweater he saw at Target. Must be destiny or something." Rain knew that Dallas was joking when he told her about destiny, but she couldn't help but blush at the thought that they might really be destined for each other. Liam, who saw Rain from a distance, was also shocked to see that they were wearing the same sweaters. He smiled to himself as he watched Rain getting teased by her other co-workers. 'I knew that going to Target would be a good idea,' he thought in his mind. "Good evening, everyone!" Liam finally said into the mic. The crowd cheered and clapped their hands, ready to star

    When Liam told Rain that he would show her how he truly feels, she thought that he was just joking. There was no way that the guy she has been liking for the past seven years would suddenly show interest in her and make the effort to prove it.However, much to her surprise, he wasn’t lying. Ever since that day, she would always see her favorite coffee on top of her desk. On the weekends, flowers would suddenly show up on her doorstep. And during the end of her shift, Liam would always be waiting for her to take her home.She arrived in the office and saw yet another coffee, accompanied by two blueberry muffins, on top of her desk.“Damn, girl. I’m jealous of this admirer of yours. You’ve been receiving free breakfast for the past week!” Olivia saidRain chuckled and handed Olivia one of the blueberry muffins before taking a sip from her coffee. Olivia smiled in delight before taking the blueberry muffin from Rain's hands. "Do you already know who this admirer is?" she asked. Rain st

    “I like you, alright?” Rain bursted out.“I’ve liked you for so damn long that it’s killing me inside! I know that you don’t see me that way, and I also know that you have something going on with Claire, that’s why I hate myself for even thinking about you—for thinking we could be together. So, stop doing this—whatever this is that you’re doing. To you, this might only be an act of friendship, but to me who has liked you from the beginning, I am starting to misinterpret your actions. It’s so fucking difficult for me to act platonically with you if you keep doing these things. So, please. Stop. I’ll also stop bothering you from now on.”Liam intently listened to every word that Rain said. He never expected this, to be honest. To him, Rain was like an honest friend that always had his back. She would always be there to comfort him whenever he felt down, and even when he had problems with Claire, she’d always be there to listen. Looking back on it, Rain must have suffered a lot because o

    Liam felt giddy as he parked his car in the parking lot. Even if he didn’t get much sleep last night, he still somehow feels energetic. It’s like there’s something, or rather, someone he’s looking forward to seeing to in the office. Rain, on the other hand, had a full night of sleep but she still felt like she didn’t get enough rest. She placed her things down on the table and sat down on her chair with a deep sigh. Olivia saw this, so she walked towards her and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Hey, you alright?”“Mmh?” Rain looked up at Olivia and smiled. “I’m great, Liv.”Even if Rain smiled, it somehow didn’t feel genuine. “Did everything go well yesterday?” Olivia asked, wondering if something bad happened during the dinner, causing her to act like this.Everything went well. Too well, if you ask Rain. Liam and her had the best conversation they ever had, but it only reminded her that their relationship stops at that.
