We are now in the car heading to church.As I watched the buildings and scenery that we were passing by, my mind was lost and I didn't realize that it had been a few weeks since I worked for him. Because every day of my life is happy, I don't think about the passing of the days anymore."I hope not only days, months and years pass that we are together, even forever.'WHILE riding in the car we were both silent, but the feeling was not strange and awkward. Even though we didn't talk, we felt each other's presence is enough. The airy feeling and weather really add to the good mood of this morning.Due to inexplicable boredom, I was able to press a couple of button it in front of me and I was even surprised when suddenly something rang."That's a radio, my Ry," he said, still laughing.I just nodded and remembered that I know now how to wear a seat belt b
RYLAN'S POVWHEN we got home, Dylan started teaching me."Ry, go ahead and try to take a picture of me," Dylan said cheerfully, while handing me my new cellphone.I agreed, but I was laughing because the camera was so close to him. When I made sure the angle was right, I pressed the capture button. When I looked at his photo, I couldn't stop smiling, he's really handsome and his smile is so beautiful.'I'm really nervous because I can feel so girly towards him.'I also think that maybe it's because he's kind and we're always together that's why I feel this way, but Nico is also kind and handsome but I don't feel anything special for him. Only Dylan really has it."Look at me, Ry, is it ugly? Why are you laughing?"I watched him with a smile while he was busy looking at his pictures on my cellphone. I am very thankful to God because he granted me to meet the person who will change my life. If I hadn't met him then, my life would definitely be different now. I don't have a good job, a

"Boss, do you have a problem?" he asked, while arranging the documents in his hand and sitting in the accommodation area inside Dylan's office."Huh? Nothing," he replied casually without even looking at him.He's busy, but it's obvious to him that Dylan's mind is floating due to the deep thoughts he has. Nico doesn't have to think too much to guess who is the reason for his Boss being like this."Is that about Rylan?"He was not wrong because of Dylan's reaction. He suddenly turned around when he heard the name of the special man come from his mouth."No," Dylan denied, while looking away from him."We

'I hope he doesn't get bored while we are in there because of me.' This is my only wish.Ever since he discarded the 2nd rule at home, I felt true freedom. Now, I can go out even if it's not my day off, that's why I can go around the whole subdivision and get to know our neighbors.Most of them were surprised because they didn't know that I actually lived here, maybe because I rarely went out before so they didn't see me, but even so they still welcomed me warmly.Most of all, even if it's not a week I can play basketball on the court with my friends. At first, they were still surprised when I told them Dylan's good news."Brot
Chap 19RYLAN'S POVWHILE talking, I quickly handed him something to drink. "Dylan, drink first to cool your head.""I don't get hot headed.""What do you 'No'?, you just scares my friends earlier," I replied, placing the drink in front of him.The scrunch of his eyebrows is back again. "I just didn't like that they were forcing you to come with them, if I hadn't come I'm sure they would have convinced you by now?""But, it's only normal when it's an invitation between friends, isn't it?" Because I don't see anything bad in my friends' intentions."Yes, but you don't know them that well yet, there's nothing wrong with being careful," he insisted."Hay, I said, I'm sorry." I know I can't win this argument against my talkative boss so i just accepted my defeat."Ry, promise me that you won't go anywhere with them. Back then, I wasn't worried because I knew you were just here inside the house and waiting for me, but that's not case anymore. Everytime, you didn't leave my mind, especially

Rylan was happily watching his friends and boss who you thought were kids just met after a long time."Ry, don't you have a towel, you're already sweating," Dylan said to him.He gently removed his wet bangs that were obstructing his eyes. His friends just laughed while watching them."I brought something, I put it there," Rylan answered, pointing to the bench where his things and tumbler were placed.He was about to leave to get the things when Dylan stopped him. He took a handkerchief from the back pocket of his pants and gently wiped his face and neck."I can do it, Dylan. I'm not a kid anymore," Rylan complained shyly because his friends were laughing at him."Boss, you love him too much," Benny smiled mockingly at them.Jeff, on the other hand, was just looking at the two because he couldn't participate in everyone's jokes bec
Chap 21RYLAN'S POVDylan and I left the house early so we wouldn't spend the night on the road. A strong wind was hitting my face as I looked out the window of the car we were riding in. The scenery and places we were passing through were beautiful."Ry, go to sleep first, we still have a long journey.""How about you Dylan?" I asked him back, knowing he would be tired from the long drive."I'm fine. Do you want me to sleep too? Who's going to drive?" he will tease me even more.'I can't, Dylan. Your hopeless' I just shook my head because of what he said.After a few hours of sleep I woke up to a soft pat on my cheek and something soft still touching it."Ry, wake up.""Dylan, where are we?" I yawned before facing him properly."Still here in the car."I just frowned at him. Didn't he want to answer seriously? I would have ignored him if he hadn't offered me lunch. Because we had a packed lunch that I cooked before leaving, we had no problem even if there was no restaurant on our way
Chap 22RYLAN'S POVThe place is dark, no matter where I look, I can't see anything. It was also cold and there was no sound to be heard around, even if I wanted to scream I couldn't.Soft footsteps brought me back to my trance, it was getting closer and closer to where I was, I wanted to get away, but something was stopping me. As the sound got closer, my breathing got heavier and my heart beat faster.Faster and faster and it's getting closer and closer...He stopped in front of me and violently removed the covering from my eyes.A man, his face was familiar. He grinned at me as if he was out of his senses. As he gradually brought his face closer, I could see it gradually, as well, my breathing became heavier as if I was about to run out of air in my lungs.That's it, just a little while and I will know this man but suddenly..."Haaa! Haaa!" I quickly took my breath back, releasing the heavy arm resting on my chest. Just a little while and I will see the man's face the man but I wok
RYLAN'S POV"Aaah~ Ry, please go slowly.""Do you not want it anymore, Dylan? Am I not good at this? I've been tired of doing this for a while now," I said with a trembling voice."It feels so good, Ry, but let's take it slow," he replied, catching his breath."Stop it, Dylan. Someone might hear you, and who knows what they'll think," I said irritably, even though my face was already turning red."It's okay, Ry. It's just us here," he said with a grin, lying face down on the bed."Seriously, Dylan, I don't want to anymore. My hand is getting tired from massaging you," I replied, getting up from behind him."Wait, Ry. I was just joking. Just a little more," he pleaded."Don't you have something to tell me, Dylan? Why don't you start now?""Oh, right, thanks for reminding me," he said, and I frowned. It meant he really forgot.When he came home earlier, he mentioned that he had something important to tell me. After we ate, he asked me to come to his room to talk about it, but suddenly h
RYLAN'S POV["Can I talk to you?"]"Of course, what's it about?" I heard Brandon reply to Dylan.I saw Dylan take a deep breath before speaking, as I continued walking towards them. "I just want to apologize for my behavior earlier," Dylan sincerely said to Brandon."No worries, man. If I saw another guy dropping off my loved one, especially if he's my wife, I'd be mad too.""That's actually what I wanted to clarify.""Dylan, can I clarify things for him?" I asked for permission as I reached them."But Ry--" Concern was still evident on his face."I'm okay, and it all started with me anyway. I'm really sorry, Dylan, for dragging you into this." I looked straight into his eyes to show how remorseful I was."Wait! Cutiee, don't take all the blame because I'm the one who started it all."I was surprised when Lily suddenly appeared behind me."Lily--""No! Dylan, Brandon... I'm really sorry for my joke leading to all this," Lily earnestly apologized to Dylan and Brandon."Lily? Do you kno
RYLAN'S POV"Happy birthday to you!!! Happy birthday Gabriel!" cheered the guests at the birthday party."Thank you so much, everyone!!!" Gab enthusiastically responded to everyone.I scanned the room and saw Benny, Rico, and Jeff, along with other kids we often play with on the basketball court.The occasion was grand. It was obvious it was well-prepared with lots of balloons, food, and games ready. There was even a clown making everyone laugh. It was such a joyful scene. Seeing all this, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. I wished I was born into a wealthy family so I could experience this too, maybe even still be in school. But even though we're not well-off and there are many things I didn't experience in my childhood, I would never trade my family for anything. I love them dearly.I sat at a table with Lily and Nico. Mrs. Mimi wasn't around because she was busy with the guests. Brandon was also mingling with the guests. I knew his boss was attending too."Miss Lily, thank
RYLAN'S POV"Cherry? I wonder where the cherry is," I whispered to myself while searching for the jar that was just beside me earlier.I'm in the kitchen now, busy making desserts for the party. Lily and Brandon wanted to help, but I declined knowing they're busy preparing the program and games. They decided to hire a catering service for other food. I've finished making some desserts like fruit salad and coconut pandan. I also made cookies and macaroons for giveaways. I was almost done with the black forest graham cake I was making when I realized the cherry I needed was missing."I'm sure I left it here," I murmured to myself.No one could have taken it since Dylan is at work and I'm alone here now. I couldn't help but feel a bit sad because I miss him again."Where could it be?" I muttered in frustration.I've been looking for it for a while now but still couldn't find it. I've searched the entire place but it's nowhere to be found."Are you looking for the cherry?""Yes, that's i
RYLAN'S POV"Ry ko, what you did earlier was dangerous, don't do it again, okay?" Dylan lectured as we entered the house.Because of his sudden braking earlier, we almost got into an accident. It seems he really didn't like my joke. I know what I did was wrong, "But why is it okay for him to tease me? Since he's annoyed now, might as well push it, right?""Why? Is it wrong to call you my dear husband?" I grinned playfully and affectionately. I noticed his cheeks turning red again, 'He's really cute.'But my little victory quickly ended when I saw the sudden change in his expression, his forehead creased, and he glared at me as he walked towards me. I swallowed nervously, fearing his next move, slowly backing away until I leaned against the wall."Dylan, I was jus--"He didn't finish my explanation as he suddenly blocked me on both sides with his body and arms.I became even more nervous as he brought his face closer to mine, not seeing any emotion in his eyes, which only increased my

They've already given me the ingredients.Now, I'm wondering what design I should make for Gab's cake. I can't help but sigh because I still haven't come up with an idea.Only three days left until Gab's birthday, so I need to start making the desserts for his party. Dylan has a freezer at home, so I'll just put them there, and they'll be ready by Gab's birthday. The last thing I'll do is the cake.As we walked back to the parking lot, memories of Lily and Brandon bringing the ingredients to the house came flooding back. One afternoon, I suddenly heard the doorbell.Peeking outside the gate, I saw Lily and Brandon."Oh, it's you guys. Thank you, even though it's embarrassing, you went grocery shopping and even brought it here," I said."Don't mention it, Cutie. Thank you so much for agre

That's just something I watch in movies. I've forgiven Leo already, so I should bury everything in the past.After cooking, I went to wake up Dylan and prepare his clothes. "Dylan! Wake up, it-- Ahhh!!!" I shouted in surprise as he suddenly pulled me onto his bed."Good morning, Ry," he grinned while hugging me."If you're awake, you should get up.""You're so grumpy early in the morning, Ry," he chuckled while walking towards the bathroom.I just shook my head while fixing his bed, then I prepared his clothes for the day.▼△▼△▼△▼△"Dylan, I added more to your packed lunch, give Nico his share," I reminded him while handing him his lunch."Why does Nico always have some?" he complained under his breath."

He also took a week off from work since that incident occurred.Life goes on even though there are many trials we face everyday. I still remember what happened that night. After they got Leo in the ambulance, they took us to the police station so they could take a statement because of the kidnapping.There I narrated everything that happened.

But I told them that it didn't hurt me and that I think he's going through a lot.When we left the police station and entered Dylan's car, he never let go of me in his arms, I just let him do what he wants because I know he was worried
