The vacation was over. We really had a great time. My family loved Zach already and as soon as we left, Dad kept texting me when would be visiting again. I told him once our schedule frees up.
"Hey! Irisian!"
When I arrived in the office, Romeo was so eager to talk to me.
"Don't shout," I whispered to him.
"How can I not shout?! I didn't even know you were married! What's even more shocking is... You are married to our boss! And it's not just our boss but the owner of the company we are working for! And it's not just the owner! It's the one and only Zachary Levi Esqueza!" My friend whispered excitedly.
I was shocked at the moment. I didn't know what to respond. But this was my friend, my bestfriend. Maybe he was the only one whi knew about it?
"H-how did you know?"
"Excuse me! Let me pass!" I hurriedly back to my desk.Crap. My heart was beating fastly. Whenever I see that woman, I really got nervous. She really was something. "Sissy, have you seen her already? You don't like her too, do you? Hey, sissy! What happened to you?" Romeo stopped. "Did you see a ghost?""I-it's Ericka..."Romeo sat down next to me. "What about her?"I was tensed when staring at Romeo. I was about to talk when his eyes widened."Oh my goodness!" He put his hand on his mouth. "Don't tell me it's Ericka?!"I just nodded and felt my phone vibrate.Zachary calling...I did not answer.How dare he let Ericka in here and be the boss in my department.1 message received.-From: ZachTo: Iris10:15 a.m.Answer your phone.-I wasn't in the mood to argue with him. I was so annoyed that I threw the phone i
"What are you doing, Zach?"This place is was awesome. I found peace and there was joy in it."Counting footsteps? Go on try it." Zach steps on his foot. "Eight three... Eighty four...""Eighty five..." I turned to him and stepped in on the footsteps near him. "Eighty five foot steps and counting," I said. "Is this the end of it?"He smiled at me and touched my face. "Nope, not until we find what we are looking fo."I creased my forehead. "Thats it? You just kept going though you don't know what you're looking for?"He released thr grip on my face and looked at me seriously. "I somehow know what I'm looking for. How about you?"I was taken aback. He knows what he's looking for while me? I don't know, I'm looking for something but I couldn't find it. My head was aching. Suddenly it got dark around me, I sat on the sand and covered my face."I don't know!" I shouted as my body panicked. "I really do
My heart beat faster when it suddenly thundered. Holy crap. I immediately looked out at the window. It looks like a storm is coming.It will be soon be dark and Zach is still not here. What is he doing now? Will he and Ericka still be together? I felt the jealousy in my chest again. I trust him. Of course, I trust him. I trust Zach even if it's late at night and I don't receive any text from him. I shoved my cellphone in my pocket and checked it again, no message at all. What happened there?I flinched when I heard a crack in the other room. Oh god, is he home?"Zach?" I said.The crackling continues."Zach?"
I was stunned for 5 minutes on the blank folder in front of me. Wait? What am I going to do there? My body was holding back to the things my brain wanted to do. I kept blocking and blocking it. I sighed. Two normal days had passed. Can I really call two days normal days? Ericka became the official head of this department. Or should I call her, "The woman who wants to seduce everyone." And take note of the clothes she wears. It didn't fit the company's standard! It was too short! I could hear the heels of Ericka's shoes from behind. Stumping back and forth. She's still bugging me about what we talked about. "Irisian, have you seen the one I asked you?" She smiled forcely and acting as if we were talking about office stuff. "Not yet. I'll tell you right away just in case." She lowered her head a little to me and whispered, "fine, it looks like you have no interest in what we talked about. Well, let me do what I want." Rose who was next t
Sitting in a taxi cab with Zach is the best moment in the world. As long as I'm with him, I felt whole. Is it really like that when you already love someone? Uggh. It's not that I haven't loved someone before but Zach is different. I know literally that he is different from the men I have been in a relationship; sexually different, I guess?I was stunned when I noticed that Zach hadn't moved next to me. Oh the moody Zach again. He is maybe thinking deeply. I looked at him and he is seriously looking at the taxi driver as if the driver is going to do something bad. I laughed."What?" he asked when he heard my laughter. I bit my lip to refrain myself from laughing. Zach touched my lower lip. "You don't dare to laugh at me like that, Mrs. Esqueza." He turned to the driver again "Not here in a semi public cab."
My heart is sinking from what I've heard. I alsp don't know what to say and I was focusing on my breath. He was raped? My husband got raped?My mouth was still open as it was slowly being registered to me. Oh my god, oh my god, My Zach... He was raped. That's why he's too hard with himself, that's why he doesn't want to show attachment, this is why he thinks that he doesn't deserve to be loved. The rules, the punishments and everything. Oh my god... Zach... My poor poor Zach...I placed my hand on my mouth and my tears started to flow. How come? Why would some people do this to him?"Are you okay?" I suddenly heard Zach's mom talking behind me. I also felt she supports me so that I could sit in the chair next to the table.
The Esqueza's decided to celebrate Newyear's eve at their house. Almost everyone I knew at work were invited. We were in Zach's room and I was lying on his chest while he was playing with my hair."They're leaving tomorrow," I said to him as the though of my family having their vacation without me. They will be gone for a few weeks although I'm a little used to them not getting along but it's really different when you know they're leaving the country, I'm having abit of anxiety."Hmm, don't be sad. I'm here," Zach said and kissed my hair. "You do smell good even in the morning, love," he teased."Are you flirting with me, Zachary?"Zach leaned over causing the bed to shake. "With you, I guess yes." Zach's lips began to descend on my neck. He seems happy today. I wonder if this is the same guy that was rape when he's still a kid?Suddenly my body stiffened at the idea that entered my mind. Zach stopped."Why?""What why?" I lied."I know when something is bothering you."He really kne
I was waiting at the airport. Today is the day my family would finally have their vacation. I was feeling abit uneasy since this would be the first time they would be out of the country without me. I don't know why I'm feeling sad right now, my mood was messing up with me again today. "Did they text you yet?" I asked again for the fifth time this day. My possessive husband trying to refrain himself from smiling. "Are we a little impatient today, love?" he asked then kissed my forehead to calm me.I frowned. "I'm worried about them," I said then bit my lip."Nothing will happen to them." Zach assured me. "It will be fine."He held me by the waist. I could sense an instant eyebrow raised from people around us. Especially girls. Of course, I couldn't blame them. I looked like a maid everytime I'm next to him. "Iris! Iris!" I jumped when I heard my Dad's voice."Dad!"I ran to hug Dad, he was with my Mom and Anya. Mom also hugged me as if we wouldn't be seeing each other for good while
"You really look so hungry, Iris!"Romeo was eyeing everything that Zach bought for me. I insisted to order all of this food but he was so pushy about it. I bet he wanted to make me look fat. "Did you see the fight outside, Iris? It was Ericka versus Ashley Esqueza! Goodness. I want to sneak some popcorn if only I see it."I don't want to say that I was in front of the two when they were fighting. Knowing Rose she's so into gossip. "Not even a single hair," I replied."I'm so excited later!" Romeo shouted "I'll see more boys!"I just laughed I really need the girls night out tonight. I've been so stressed lately I have to unwind. So in the evening, Ashley lend her dresses to us. I feel so beautiful with this fitted dress even Romeo looked so handsome tonight. He dressed up fine; like a straight man."Wow. Romeo." I said in shock.My friend frowned. "How would I flirt with this kind of outfit?"Ashley got into the car. "You're so handsome! Don't complain. You only have to dress up lik
"Better the best you'll give me next time" Zach replied when I teased him.He went straight to his library looking annoyed because Brent bothered 'our' time. He was hugging his book next to me while eyes closed. I couldn't help but smile, he had the look of an Esqueza. It really runs in the blood to be this good looking.I was surprised when he suddenly popped his eyes open. "Why are you looking at me?"I laughed. He was really an Esqueza, so moody. "Because you're so handsome like Zach.""But I'm more handsome than him!" he argued."Yes, of course," I giggled while shaking my head. "But it's a secret, okay? I don't want him to be angry when he finds out our secret."Brent childishly giggled before closing his eyes. I caressed his hair when he moved slightly next to me. I wondered what was it like to hold someone that was your own child? Hmm. I shouldn't be thinking something like that, knowing my situation, I would just hurt myself if I expect more from him. The bed moved again and
Maybe it would be better for me to just go home. But should I find the key to his room first? Then the pendant? I don't know. My mind was fighting over matter. I was about to walk out the door when I saw Ashley not afar to where I was standing."Iris!" She waved at me."Ashley," I greeted back and look surprised. "What are you doing here?""I've been looking for you, of course!"I was suddenly nervous. "W-why?""Why? I need you to come home with me! Grandma keep asking about you!" She clung to my arms and started pulling me where her car was. "She wants us to cook spaghetti!"I was taken aback. "Spaghetti?""Yup. Yup! Let's go, come on!""Hello, Iris," Hunter greeted me. He doesn't look serious anymore now that he greeted me with a smile. Oh, that was new."Hi, hunter," I replied back."Do you know how to cook spaghetti, Iris?" Ashley asked excitingly."Sort of..." I don't cook. But I was about to enter the culinary school is Zach's ex didn't show up. "I know how to but I don't really
