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

Gillian I looked at the huge white box on my table. Cupid and I had arrived at the wedding he was talking about, and I was surprised to see that we were actually in a kingdom. More than that, he didn't tell me that the crowned queen and king are the one getting married today. Now, I was currently in the room that the former king ever-so-generously provided for us, getting dressed for the upcoming ceremony. As promised, Cupid prepared my gown for the event. I haven't opened it yet, but I could just tell from the way that it was packaged that it was expensive. A small print was written on the box, so I scrutinized it further and saw the word "Soleil." I quietly gasped when I recognized the brand. If I recall, these dresses cost a fortune—probably three months' worth of my salary. I was hesitating to open the box, just because it was so expensive, when Cupid came into the room dressed in a gray suit. I stayed rooted in my spot as I stared at his physique up and down. Is it p

Gillian "Oh," Queen Rosalind said. "For one moment, I thought you guys were...," she shook her head, not finishing her last statement. She then went closer to me and offered her hand. "Nice to meet you, Gillian." I smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Queen Rosalind. It's a great pleasure to meet you," I said politely. "You're even much more beautiful up close." I was surprised to see her cheeks reddening in embarrassment. By how beautiful she looked, I thought that she would already be used to receiving such compliments. "It's very flattering to hear that from a very pretty person like you," she complimented. Now, it was my turn to get embarrassed. I smiled at her shyly and bowed my head. "Well, we're not going to be holding you for much longer. You should talk to other guests," Cupid said. "We'll be going back to our seats." King Axel nodded his head. "Alright. I hope you guys enjoy yourselves. I also hope to see you more often in the future." "You will," Cupid smiled. "Congrat

Gillian We were now back in the room, and we were sitting down on the bed. I was fumbling with my fingers while Cupid was standing up, leaning against the wall. After a while, he cleared his throat and straightened his back. "So, what did you want to talk about?" I patted the spot next to me, gesturing for him to sit next to me. He sat down next to me and let out a deep breath. "I just...want to talk about everything that happened for the past week." "Are you finally ready to hear my explanation?" he asked. I nodded my head. "Yeah, but please, I want you to be completely honest with me. No little white lies." I saw a flash of hesitancy in his eyes, but he eventually nodded his head. "I cannot promise you that I'll be able to tell you everything, but I can promise you that I wouldn't tell you any lies." I pursed my lips together. I guess that's better than nothing. "Okay," I said softly. "So, where should I start explaining?" he asked. "I don't know," I shrugged my sh

Gillian I couldn't hold in my amusement, so I let out a huge fit of laughter. I thought that they were joking, but when I realized that I was the only one laughing, I stopped to look at their serious faces. "Wait, you guys are serious?" I asked. "Yes," Claire nodded her head. "I've never been more serious in my entire life!" "This isn't some kind of joke?" I chuckled nervously. "We're very, very serious," Rain narrowed her eyes. "Come on, guys. We're adults; we're not in middle school anymore." "Hey!" Olivia said in an offended voice. "This plan may sound childish, but it has a one hundred percent success rate!" My eyes widened in surprise. "You guys have done this before? And it has succeeded?” "Yes! We've done this multiple times. We told you, we're like mini-Cupids in this office," Claire said. I shook my head in disbelief that they've actually done these things before. "Fine, fine," I said. "Let's say that I agree to your proposition." Their faces showed delight.

Gillian "I'm sorry that I can't drive you to the location of the trip. I have to meet with Cyrus first before I go to the location," Cupid said, tucking my hair behind my ears. I smiled and patted his hand. "It's no big deal, Cupid. I have Claire, Liam, and my other friends to accompany me. I'll just see you there," I smiled. “You won’t take that long, right?”He pouted while nodding his head, causing me to laugh. "Are you sulking, you big baby?" "I'm just sad that I wouldn't be able to drive you there. Imagine the quality time that we can spend!”"Silly," I pinched his cheeks. "It would only be a two-hour drive. And besides, we just can't show up together. What would you do if people would find out about our set-up?" I asked softly. A strange emotion passed his eyes. "Right," he muttered under my breath, letting go of my head. "Then, I guess I'll see you there." I smiled. "Yeah, I'll see you there." "Stay safe, okay?" "You too." We parted ways—he went to his car while I

Gillian We finally arrived at the beach house that we were going to be staying in for the next three days. I thought that the bus ride would be more awkward, considering that I was seated next to Dallas, but it was surprisingly pleasant. He was very easy to talk to, and he knew how to drive a conversation. There were little to no dead airs during the entire trip. Now, I was in my assigned room with Claire, Olivia, and Rain. Each room is designated for four people, so the four of us decided to take one room while Dallas and Liam took the room next to us with two other people. Rain looked around the huge room with wide eyes. "Damn. Sir Cupid outdid himself this time. How do our annual field trips keep on improving?" Claire placed her luggage down on the floor. "Well, that's sir Cupid for you. He never settles for the bare minimum. He’ll always aim for the best!” "Speaking of sir Cupid," Olivia intercepted. "I don't think I've seen him yet. Did he not come with us?" Before I cou

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. Axel quietly went out of the b

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. She hates herself for thinking that the two of them could ac
