17M I R A N D A"Mommy you're taking so long." I hear Ben over the other line."I'm already riding a cab honey. I'm coming there." I tell him.Ben whines for more."Could you hand uncle Hugo his phone back please sweetheart?" I ask.I waited for Hugo to speak from the other end of the line as I feel the cab finally moving on this traffic jam. The rain is pouring hard again outside the window pane of the cab's backseat while I glare at my phone. I notice that it is already five forty-five in the afternoon and I'm already starving, a little tired too."Hey Miranda." Hugo finally speaks."Hey Hugo” I greeted trying to sound alive. “I'm on my way to fetch Ben. I'm so sorry I picked him up late. It's just because..." I trailed off. The boss from the hardware store was a maniac and I had to be nice because it's my first day. I thought to myself."Because it's raining hard and there's really heavy traffic." I added, trying to find another reason."You could've called me. I could've picked

17.5I pull my phone out and tried to message Hugo to clarify things about it.HUGO: Penthouse South. I pulled my head up and faced at the smiling attendant and showed him Hugo’s message. Her widened eyes as soon as she stares at the conversation and gasped.I arched my brow at her, “It would be pretty much of an inconvenience if I talk to your manager and try to tell him about how you treated me as a guest here?” I ask her.She looks back at me for about a minute or two, “I-I’m so sorry." She recovers and forces a friendlier but nervous smile. "My mistake."“Yeah an intentional one.” I answeredI walked to the elevator and greeted the man who was operating the buttons who smiled at me. At least he's welcoming than that jealous front desk staff."What floor?" He asks."Penthouse South."He looks at suspiciously.I forced a smile and thought for a second that this one is a suspicious one too, “Hugo is expecting me."He smiles. "Ah Mr. Saintclare. They said he was expecting a visitor."

18M I R A N D A "Too bad I can't see the view from up here." Ben says while looking out at the spacious outdoor terrace while the massive rain were washing down on everything from the outside.I sort of love and hate it whenever it rains because there is always something about the rain. I love it because it's a good time to be snuggled up on the couch or in bed while watching a good tearjerker. I love it because I get to drink hot chocolate milk with Benny which is our own way of spending time together being inside. I hate it because if ever you’re outside then it would totally get you all soakedand your clothes get all soggy."You can always come here if I'm around town." Hugo speaks to Ben and how it causes a sting in my heart. "I'll allow you to watch from here the view of New York if it's not raining. And we can watch the sunset together." He promises."You promise?" Ben asked."Yes. I promise." Hugo smiles.."Ben takes promises seriously." I warned."Me too." Hugo smiles at me

18.5Hugo and I glance at each other in silence. Suddenly, he stands from his chair, walks to the counter and stopped right in front of the bar. He picked up the silver colored phone that hanging against the wall, held it to his ear and clicked one button while tapping his finger over the counter top. Ben and I were curiously looking at him."Mommy what's uncle Hugo doing?" Ben whispers as he moves his head close to my ear."I don't know baby." I answered."Yes, hello. This is Hugo from Penthouse South." He takes a quick pause. "Could you send me three flashlights and three mugs of hot chocolate milk drink with marshmallows and sprinkles on top."Ben was surprised and looked at me with joy in his eyes. “Mommy did you hear that?”I nod with a smile."No. I want marshmallows and sprinkles. Nothing else." Hugo instructs over the phone. He gazes at me but then stares back at his feet while listening to the person talking over the other line.“Will this make uncle Hugo happy?” Ben asks me

19H U G O“You’ve been making me happy too.”Her words puts a smile on my face and it’s just fucking nuts how she easily affects me.I sigh and thought to myself that this was wrong.Completely and absolutely wrong.I stare at Miranda sleeping soundly beside Ben who seems too comfortable. She's slightly snoring and I've never heard a woman snore aside from my mom. Audrey doesn't sleep the way she sleeps and for some weird reason, Miranda snoring is kind of sexy to me. I might be going out of my head but I am doing things and saying things which an engaged man must not say to other women. I should not be thinking about things that an engaged man must not be thinking about.If I only had a family of my own, I would want a wife who is as diligent, hardworking and caring as Miranda and a son that’s witty, smart and kind-hearted as Ben.Hugo what in hell are you talking about?As I take a good look at her, Miranda slightly reminds me of Rose for some reason. I don't know why, but they eer

19.5I walked near her to stop her from waking up Ben. I stand behind her back and I placed my hands over each of her shoulders. I began pushing her gently to the front door of my penthouse so she could go to work already. "You're late right?”“But--”“You'll be much much late if you'll wake Ben. So go. I'll handle him." I persuaded her."Are you really sure?"I nod vigorously and kept pushing her to the door gently. I opened it for her as she tells me, "But I know you're busy with your job.""Okay, stop worrying." I stated."This is the second time I let you babysit Ben. And you might think I'm taking advantage of it. I'll pick him up right after my shift. I promise."I smile at her, "Stop thinking that way. I always have fun with Ben. Now go. I hate to see you leave with no breakfast but maybe I'll treat you this lunch."She shakes her head, "No. Dinner's on me this time."My smile widens on my face. "I'll look forward to it."She smiles shyly, "Me too.""I'll pick you up after your

20M I R A N D AHUGO: I'm terribly sorry I can't come for dinner with you. I know I promised but I needed to go back to London ASAP. Something important came up. I'll still be looking forward for the free dinner next time. Take care! Send my regards to Ben for me. Tell him I'm so sorry. See you both soon. xI read his message that he sent to me five hours ago. He left and I know why he came back. It's already one in the morning and I'm still thinking about the night I spent with Hugo. I wish it didn't stop. I wish it would happen all over again. I wish we'd build tents made out of sheets once more. I wish next time I could finally tell him the truth. I wish next time that I could have some confidence and bravery in me.I sigh inwardly as I reread his message for a hundredth time. I know he went back to London for his fiancée. He obviously went back there to fix the problem that they have had been going through. I just wish it isn't related about me.I mean, we've been spotted hanging

21M I R A N D A He’s really there no matter how many times I have blinked now.He’s there.He’s wearing a black Adidas jogging pants, a plain white shirt, a pair of red running shoes and that drowning light blue eyes of his which are glued on mine.Holy fucking ass!It’s really Landon.The Landon Thompson from Satellite Patrol who I have always adored for so many years now.Joan stands, “I’m glad she’s gained conscious Mr. Thompson.”“I’m glad too. Thank you Joan.” Landon smiles at me, “Hi love.”Holy ass, I should be old for fangirling but I can’t stop myself from doing so since Landon just freaking called me love.He begins to walk closer to my bed and sits down right next to me with curious eyes. I wonder how I’m going to react right now after what just happened to me with Devon. Right now, I want to scream, shout and let it all out. I want to hug him so tight. I want to throw myself at him. I want to do what fans usually do when their idols are around. But I reminded myself that
