Friend's Talk

"YES, I accept it," I told in a clear voice in front of my friends.

"WHAT?" they answered me in shock and at the same time.

"Yes," I nodded to them. "I officially accepted the business marriage."

My two friends ended up choking on food. We are having lunch inside our favorite restaurant at that time.

"Really my friend?" Cedy looks shocked.

"How? I-I mean, how they convinced you to accept it?" also Nancy can't believe what I've said.

I sighed and wiped my mouth with a table napkin then looked at them. "I have no other choice so I accept it, there is nothing to lose since we talked and we both agreed to our setup if we ever get married."

"We?!" Cedy's eyes widened again.

"Meaning, have you met, faced, and talked to the man that Uncle Raul was trying to negotiate with you before?" Nancy couldn't believe it either at that time.

"Really? Do I have to repeat it again and again, huh? I said, yes, yes, and yes. And yeah, I got my business marriage soon. It's purely business. Get

    SurpriseI WAS smiling while I made a shake hand with my boss, the owner of the Bélla Resort where I worked for two years."Thank you for accepting my resignation letter, Sir. I thought you still wouldn't allow me. Thank you again.""Well, Aurora, to tell you frankly, I don't really agree with you leaving my company. But your reason is valid. So, even if I don't want to, there's still nothing I can do. It is your decision and choice. Since there is also someone who asks me to let you go."I was surprised by what he said. "Who?""My hidden business partner," his response."Hidden?" I frowned.He smiled. "Yuh.""Uhm, I thought you owned this company, sir. I mean—""Of course, I owned this company, but that was then. For the past 2 years, I had a partner here. That's why this company changes a lot. We renovated it in such an elegant resort on the whole Island."I can only nod at what I heard."Since my hidden identity business partner offers an awesome partnership, I grab it. I was not w

    Black CoffeeDAMIEN brings me to one of the luxury restaurants near, Bélla Resort. It was surprising but I let myself go with it.I stopped myself to ask something when the waiter immediately put down our early dinner one by one."Is there anything you need, ma'am, sir?" it is a question for both of us.Damien shook his head, then looked at me."How about you, ma'am?" The waiter also turned to me."Nothing, thanks.""You are welcome, ma'am. Enjoy your meal,"Damien and I just nodded at the waiter."Then, let's eat," he said after the waiter was left.I looked in his direction. "Well, can I ask you something?""Hmm?""Did you follow me here?"His eyebrows arched suddenly. "No.""Then, why are you here? Enlightened me, Damien?""What's wrong if I'm here right now?"I clicked my tongue. I was embarrassed by the way he asked. "Nothing, I was just wondering."He looked seriously into my eyes. "I am here to settle some important matter, that's all.""Ah, okay. But what are you doing at Béll

    Unexpected Visitor"AH, that's the only way to brew the right flavor of the coffee." I nodded while watching him blend the coffee.He looked at me. "Yes, you can also use a coffee machine. Here, taste it." He brought the cup closer to my mouth.I tasted a little amount of it. "Hmm, that's delicious. Perfect..." I thumbs-up and smiled at him."You want coffee? I'll make it for you."I shook my head here. "No thanks, I'm preparing to drink tea rather than coffee.""Okay.""Let's go in the living room," he followed. "Uhm, you can watch movies if you want. Feel free.""How about you?" he ask when I didn't sit down on one of the sofas.I shook my head. "First I have to organize what I'm going to bring for tomorrow. So, I guess I should have been in my room now,""Okay. I will watch a movie alone, and later I'll sleep.""It's up to you. As long as you feel sleepy, go back to your room to rest."He just nodded at me.I left with my tea. I immediately arranged my baggage. I put all the import

    Guilty Feelings"T-TRAVIS?"He smiled a little at me. "Hi.""W-what are you doing—" I mumbled and eased the door open then turned to Damien. "Uhm, will you leave us for a while, please?" I said while looking at his serious face looking at Travis.He faced me and nodded. "Sure."I closed the door and stepped closer to Travis."Hey,""Is he the reason you broke up with me?" He asked in a serious voice.I take a breath. "How are you?" I don't mind his question. I don't want to answer it because I don't know what to answer."Have you come here to resign from your job?" that is his second question.I nodded. "Yes, I announced my goodbye yesterday. And my boss already accepts my resignation." I answer him."Yesterday," he smiled weakly. I know, he feels sad and disappointed. "So, you were here yesterday?" I nodded again. "With that man inside your apartment?"My mouth closed. I don't want to release a statement about Damien who opened my door for him."U-uhm, w-who did you know I was here?"

    Seafood RestaurantWE are on the road, I keep looking at the beautiful scenery we are passing. For sure, I will miss the beautiful healthy living, on Maldives Island.I turned to Damien who was busy typing on his laptop keyboard. "Um, can I open the window?" I ask him before I will open it.He looked up at me. "Yes, you can.""Thank you,"I faced the car window again, then I slowly opened it. I immediately felt in my nose the fresh air coming from the entire ocean surrounding the whole place. I also close my eyes because of the good feeling of being close to green nature.The Maldives offers very clean surroundings; such as seawater, a healthy atmosphere, and very wonderful trees anywhere. When you were on that island, you could really enjoy your peace of mind. That's really what I'll miss most of all."For sure, you will miss the island,"I opened my eyes and looked at Damien. "Yeah, that's for sure."He shrugged. "Aren't you planning on going to see or visit before we go home?""Are

    CameraI WAS not even surprised when we arrived at the airport of Maldives Island, and the private plane we were going to take us home was already there and just waiting for us."Is it your plane?" I asked him when the car stopped right next to it.He slowly nodded. "Let's go, Aurora."We got out of the car together. The driver took out my luggage to put it inside the plane.When we are going to the stairs of the plane, someone's cell phone suddenly rang in its pocket."Go on and answer your phone," I said when he looked in my direction.He nodded and moved slightly away from me to take the call.I embrace myself and I look around the airport until my eyes set on his direction again. I saw that he was smiling a bit while talking on the other line. I wonder who he is talking that time.I quickly removed my glance from him when he suddenly turned in my direction.What the heck? He always catches me looking at him. Shit... I get angry with myself.I just sighed and glanced at my surround

    Workout I was inside the fitness Healthcare gymnasium with my two friends. They both invited me that Saturday. It was their day off from work so I agreed to bond with them because it had been a long time since I had been there with them. My friends and I always visit that place when I am in the Philippines. We always care about our health so that's one of the workouts and fitness that we like to go to. "When will you start your job at your company again?" I turned to Nancy when she asked me again. I rolled my eyes. "Again, on Monday, Nance. Monday." "Ah, yes... it's Monday. So, will you be busy with that again?" "I guess, yes." "Hey, friend. Are you getting married immediately?" I raised my eyebrows at Cedy's question. "That's what I know too. But I don't know when is the official date of the said ceremony." "Oh, come on. Bride to be who knows nothing?" he smirks. "Nah, what do I know? It's up to the Harrisons when is the exact date. As long as they don't keep coming to our h

    First day"I'M GLAD that you finally work in your daddy's position, darling."I looked at mommy while chewing. I had my breakfast with her at that time. "Me too, mom," I answer her with a soft smile."How do you feel, darling?""Afraid, a little bit nervous, and...""And?""And—" I sighed then wiped my mouth with a table napkin. "I couldn't imagine working with that company before. But now I'm excited, mom. Knowing that I will be in my father's office. Even if not in Daddy's position.""I feel happy to hear that from you, baby.""I hope Daddy Raul will appreciate and be happy where he is right now," I smile a bit."He is babe, and I'm happy too because I know he's happy to finally get what he wanted... that our daughter will finally sit in his office to work."I just smiled even though I wanted to tell mommy that I was still saddened by the loss of Dad... but of course, I won't say that because I don't want to see her sad."How are the grapes you planted, mom?"

    1 Year LaterFamilyA BABY'S wail is trying to wake up my sleepy spirit. I slowly opened my eyes. I immediately smile as I open my eyes.Who wouldn't smile when you wake up and the first thing you see is your husband and child?I was just looking at my beloved husband, Damien. He is now standing at the open window while our precious daughter, Danniella is in his arms. He puts our daughter to rest on his chest."Shh, baby... Mommy is still sleeping. Come on, hush my love... Mommy will wake up with your cry. Mommy was awake last night," he said softly.Our daughter still does not stop her weak wail. Danniella is always like that in the morning. I think because she feels that in the morning his father will leave again and go to work."Hush, hush, my love. Daddy's here. Look for mommy later, hm? Daddy is here for you... Let Daddy cuddle you just this moment, baby." He continued comforting our daughter in her sobbing.My smile widened. It sounds like he was begging our daughter to stay and

    A Promise"HMM..." I was distracted by someone trying to wake up my sleeping spirit."Sweetheart, wake up..." The soft voice trying to wake me up."Hmm..." was my only response."Sweetheart, wake up. It's already six in the evening,"As I hear the said time, I forced my eyelids to open. I immediately glimpse Damien's face."What time?""Six," he answered and kissed my forehead."W-what? Oh, God. My mom might be looking for me," I sat up suddenly, not minding my naked body. "Damien, get up... get dressed.""Take your time," he said just looking at me while getting dressed.My cheeks suddenly turned red. "Get up," I pulled him by the arm after I finished putting on my clothes.What I didn't expect is that he pulled me on top of his body."Let's skip the dinner, and let's stay here for a while.""No way. Come on, stand up." I stood up and pulled out myself from him. "Damien, please. Mom will wonder where I am right now,""Don't worry, I called her and said you were with me now,""Really?

    Making Love"D-DAM..."Damien pinned me immediately on the door as we got inside the house. It was a house where we used to live together.I didn't protest anymore when he pressed a kiss to my lips. I relented as I wrapped my arms around his neck."H-hey, maybe someone will see us here." I Huskily said when our mouths parted."There are no other people in this house now except us, sweetheart." his eyes glint."S-so?" I stammered."So?" he's like teasing."U-um,""Don't worry because we are alone in the house."I blushed and nodded and swallowed a little. "G-good... Ahy—" I gasped as he suddenly lifted my body.I didn't even protest when he claimed my lips in an intense kiss.I felt him sitting on the wide sofa bed in the living room. I immediately felt the life of his member when I was right there in front of him and sitting on his lap."Yeah, good. Because I can do whatever I want to do with you," he whispered while his eyes looked at me.My eyes were also glittering as I look intent

    Wedding RingsI IMMEDIATELY let go of my embrace with Damien when we heard someone knocking outside the conference room."Sir— oh... Where are those people?" Jina asked in surprise as she opened the door.I smiled at Jina because she couldn't look directly into her boss's eyes."Nice one, Jina.""Huh, Sir?""For your collusion with your Ma'am Aurora," he said seriously to his Secretary."Well, sir—""Tsk... Damien, leave your secretary, please? It was my plan. I'm the one who did the orders, that's why she didn't answer you earlier when you called her." I glanced at his secretary. "Jina, it's fine, you're pardoned now, right Damien?" I said while smiling at him.He was still scratching his head. It seems that my defense of her from his boss was not enough."I'm sorry Sir... Please?""I only just forgive you if you will leave us now, Jina." his face is still serious at that time.Jina nodded and smiled slightly. "Thank you, Sir, Ma'am..." Then she went out and closed the door again.Dam

    My Wife"IT'S you, Ma'am Aurora..." She squealed and happily approached me. "Oh, it's really you." And she embraced me out of excitement."Hey, Jina." I shyly looked around because the attention of everyone in the hallway went to us."Oh, sorry... I just got carried away, Ma'am Aurora... I thought it was a model that had been lost in this area," she scratched her head. "Hey everyone... Our most beautiful boss,"The employee's mouths dropped. Perhaps they are also wondering what Jina said."Jina? Stop it...""Anyway, our very own, Ma'am Aurora Torres—""Come on, you're such a talkative." I pulled her towards Damien's office."Ma'am, you look even better today." she is still smiling widely."Oh, thank you. Anyway, where's your boss, Jina?""Oh, God! How come I forgot Sir... Shit, he will probably scold me again, for sure," she hit her forehead when she remembered her boss."Why?"

It's not the new house that Daddy handed down where mommy and I moved before I left for Spain last year.I suddenly wanted to ask my mother, I have a lot of questions for her but I respect her when she told me that she will speak as soon as we get home.I stayed silent, I also feel, Pasing and Fe are both muted behind mom and me.After we arrived at the house... the driver even helped us to support mom to her room which is now only on the first floor of the house.When I entered our old house, I was amazed. That's because something changed in that house of ours. Especially my parents' room. That room used to be on the second floor but is now on the first floor. It was a connecting room upstairs."Fe, I'll take care of mommy. Thank you very much." I said after we helped mommy change her clothes."Sit down here, daughter..." mom starts as Fe already gets out of her room.I looked a

My mother happily greeted me as I looked at her smiling face."Good morning, Aurora." Fe and Pasing who were standing at the foot of the bed also greeted me merrily."Good morning..." Then I smiled at them all. As usual, I approached and kissed their hands one by one, and also my mother."God bless you, darling." Mommy was smiling, she was happy to see me there. "When did you come, dear? You haven't told me to come home.""This morning, mommy. And I came here right away to see your situation. How are you doing?

He can't stay any longer because he will face an emergency meeting that will be held today.He nodded slightly at me and said goodbye to my friends that he was talking to at that time.I took him out of mom's room."You should also need to go home and rest, Aurora," he said when we were out of the room.I shook my head. "I will stay here, I will watch over mommy until she wakes up. I also need to talk to her doctor to clarify what happened to her and how her condition.""But you look tired.

    ExplainingI Have never talked to him since he forced me to take to his private plane that will travel back to our country. I wanted to say no, but I didn't because it would make my trip home easier, and I was so eager to catch a glimpse of my mother.When we arrived at the plane, he approached me, and then he offered to sit behind him but I refused. I know that he can sense that I am avoiding him by sitting in the same seat.I still didn't take it. I kept looking into the distance and all I could think about was my mother who is in the hospital right now. I sighed looking out the window."Sandwich, chocolate milk?"My spirit returned because of that voice. I looked at him slightly."I don't feel like eating," I refuse it."Oh, come on Aurora. It's time for dinner. A few more hours before we arrive in the Philippines. So, here, accept and eat this food. You have to be strong for your mommy,"I sighed and reached for it.
