Gwyneth’s POV
“What’s that?” I asked Kalex when I sneaked to the kitchen and saw him cooking.
"Beef steak, Fried chicken and Lasagna." He said and laid down everything he cooked on the table.
"Psh. Mostly carbs," I have a complaint.
“Nah, gaining weight better suit you than enjoying to be that skinny,”
Aish.
"You said I gained weight? It's thin now." I said confused.
"No, you're so thin. When I hugged you, I just noticed the extra fats on your tummy quickly disappeared. We just fought, you lost weight again."
"Excuse me? It's not because of our fight that I lost weight again." I defended. Too assuming!
he laughed and pulled me to a chair. I frowned as I sat down.
"Just a joke, don't frown anymore."
I just stared at him and
Gwyneth’s POV"What now? Are you okay?" Kez curiously asked while we are currently having a meal in famous Japanese restaurant in the city."Kind of. We actually talked,""What kind of talk? What did he say?" Zaina then asked after.I took a deeo breath before telling them our conversation. As I was talking, they were carried away by different emotions but above all, the excitement in their expression only matters to me."Gosh! I can't believe it!" Zaina couldn't help but to yell in excitement. "I'm glad that you're finally happy. And everything is true, there is no lie." I agreed with what she said.Really fun. There is no hiding and lying. everything is true, and there is no need to act."So, is he still courting you now? Or are you? I wonder how many times he courted you after several mistake that he had done." Kezza's eyeb
Gwyneth’s POV"Where are you? The photographer is already here.""Just a moment! I am currently stuck in a traffic jam," I reasoned out.Aish! Of all the days that I could be late, why now? Today is the photoshoot of our newly launch collaboration design. We comw up with the idea to name it MoonXRose because our main focus in the design is crescent moon and red rose. I had a lot of work done and finished work last night. So, I woke up, and now I'm late. Kalex is already there because he still has things to take care of. While me? Oh, it's my lucky day to be part of those who got stuck in a traffic jam and has no clue if when will it end.I received another call. This time it came from Mommy."Mom.""Sweetie, where are you?"I looked at the road, the progress was still slow. I'm still a bit far away, but if the traffic speeds up and disappears I can get there quickly.
Gwyneth’s POV"Are you okay? Still feeling dizzy?" I can sense how anxious Kalex is just by hearing his voice.We are currently in his car, making our way to the hospital. I do not want to jump into conclusion so I need make sure if Mom and Kalex's mom was telling the truth.Besides, I am not sure if I can able to have a child after Justine. It's just that... Argh! I am losing my mind!"I'm fine now," I simply said. "What if the opposite happen? I know you wanted to have a kid after Justine, but won't that make you disappointed if ever I am not pregnant?"He held my hand on my thigh with his free hand. "Why would I be disappointed? We already have a son and having you both is much more important. But if God will give us another little you, or my younger version, so be it," he smiled so I smiled back at him.After almost half an hour in the road, w
Gwyneth’s POVFive months been past, my womb gets bigger. I already told Justine that he will going to be a big brother soon and he's so happy about it.I'm still living in my parents’ house. We both wanted something like this, because I was so annoyed with him. It's not that bad that I annoyed him anymore, it's just mild. I also plan to return home next week. so he can take care of me freely, he didn't do that much because of my mood swings.I suddenly felt hungry. So I went down to look for food. Even it's Saturday, there is still no one at home. I was left alone again. Manang went to the market, as usual my parents were at work. I'm still working. When my stomach is eight months old, I will take sick leave. Mommy and Daddy really didn't want to let me work, but I said I could still work.I looked for something to eat in the refrigerator. they are still raw and uncooked. There is
Gwyneth’s POV"Please look after my son. You know how important this day to me, right?" I said to my child's nanny as I saw her heading her way to our room."No problem, Ma'am. I'll take care of him. Best regards!" she responded and took Jase from me."Please be good to your nanny, okay? Mama will just remarry your Dad and I'll be back after, okay?"My little boy just chuckled as if he understood what I just said.I left the hotel room and went to the other room, where all the guests were arranged. It's my wedding day! Re-wedding to be exact. But my son Justine will not be here. He still have exams to take on and maybe he could book a flight after three months from now. Despite his busy sched, he never failed to congratulate me and his Dad.as soon as I went inside, they all had him — he was doing. Everyone looked at
Kalex’s POV[Flashback]"Kalex, be ready. We will head back to the States by tomorrow," Dad said while I am busy with my stuff."All of a sudden? Is there something wrong?" I asked him.It's strange that he decided of going back to States without telling me first."I will arrange your wedding with Gwyn. You already know her, right?"My heart almlst jump in happiness. I couldn't even believe if he was telling me the truth. He has no idea how much I wanted to marry the girl of my dream. It's been a while since I saw her, and if ever Dad is telling me the truth, then I'll be the luckiest man ever live on earth.But what if Gwyn doesn't want to marry me? I cannot just force her to marry me because that's selfishness. I do not want her to get the wrong idea because we've been a good friend before not until I flew abroad. 
Kalex’s POV[Flashback still]We're both busy that day. We just talked when he invited me to Renzo's farewell party, her cousin. I agreed, I will just finish all my work. And Renzo is also a friend, so why not?I couldn't help but be curious when I looked at Gwyn's phone. Lots of messages from different people. I only met a few. I couldn’t help but worry and be jealous. He can be taken away from me at any time, and that scared me."Don't do it first, in case our relationship doesn't work I have a back-up." He joked. But to me, thousands of arrows hit.The hell? Why do we need back-up? I will not let our relationship not work.because of jealousy I could not do anything if I did not take his phone and feel it. I deleted those who messaged him that I did not know. Fuck off dude.She gets mad because of what I did. And I feel sorry about it."I'm sorry if I make you mad ...sorry for make you feel un
Gwyneths POV8 years ago,"Gwyn," I turned to the man who called my name. He was cheerful and playful, but now, he just looks serious and doesnt have any streak of excitement. I ignored him and just drank from the glass of wine I was holding.this is his condo unit so even though I don't want a partner, I have no right to evict him. He has a house so he rarely comes here. He entrusted the other key of this unit to me because he knew there were times, I just wanted to be alone."It was you, wasn't it?" He asked. Of course, he knows. He knew that I was the only one who could do that to Maureen. Which I don't even regret doing because that's just his thing. He kidnapped the man who should have been for me."Yes, I am. So?" He massaged his temple. She sighed and sat down next to me.I hired a p
Gwyneth’s POV"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Local time is ten past three in the afternoon and the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius ..."I can't help but to feel all the excitement as the crew announced that our plane landed. I've been peeking out the window for a while now because I really want to set foot in the Philippines again. It has only been six months, but it feels like forever since the day I've been here. I was excited to see Jase and Kalex. We video called almost every night and they also went to see me at Christmas. They stayed there for the whole holidays but it's not enough to compensate my longing for the two.The hard battle of homesickness!"Have a nice stay ma’am!" one of the crew greeted me before I went down on the plane. I gave her a smile.When I got off the plane, I went straight to a bus that the staff p
Gwyneth’s POVI woke up with the clamorous knocking on my door. I looked at my clock; it's already 11 in the evening. Who would bother to visit me at this time? I don’t even know why I was on my out to see me at this hour when in fact I still had to sleep because my flight will be early tomorrow at five in the morning. I was still yawning while rubbing my eyes as I walk to the door."Gwyn! Gwyneth! Are you there?!" My yawning stopped and my eyes widened when I heard Kalex's loud voice. I immediately ran towards the door thinking that something might have happened to Jase."Kalex?" he was sweating and gasping as he put his hands on his knees to support himself. He's wearing his usual sleeping clothes, his jersey short and a white cotton shirt. "What are you doing here? Why are you gasping?""I ... took ... the ... stairs." He said as his chest is heaving from the gasps. It took me a second
Kalex’s POV"What's up?" Demitri asked as he sits in front of me. I asked him if he could come because I needed someone to talk to. I need someone who could knock some sense out of me. "Where's Jase?""Upstairs. Sleeping." I replied before I took a sip from the glass of whiskey in my hand. I know he's waiting for me to start talking but I fucking don't know where to fucking start."It's about Gwyneth, isn't it?" He asked when I didn't say anything. My chest tightened by the mere sound of her name. I miss her. I miss calling out her name and how she smiles at me in the morning."She's ... she's leaving tomorrow." I said in a low voice as I remember what she said five days ago. I don't even know how long she'll be gone. I was afraid to ask.My mind went crazy by just the thought of her leaving with that fucker and all I ever said to her was that she doesn't need to worry ...
Kalex’s POV"Mommy you're going with us tomorrow, right?" Jase asked Gwyn again as he draws on his book. I peeked at my son's ipad to see Gwyn's face. She's as beautiful as ever."Yes baby, how many times have you asked me that already? You silly kid!" I can't help but to chuckle as I chop the vegetables for our dinner. Jase quickly glanced at me and grinned."I'm just reminding you mommy in case you forget." I shook my head. Jase just reminded Gwyn for the third time in fifteen minutes since they started talking.He was actually referring to her school activity. Since it's family day, parents are requested to attend the said event with their child at school. Jase has been talking about it since he learned that Gwyn and I are both going. I refuse to be absent on his first family day.They talked for an hour. I love hearing their voice and their funny conversations, especial
Gwyneth’s POV"Why are you so quiet?" Quir asked me as we ride the elevator. I was on my way down earlier when I ran into him and he asked me to have lunch with him."Jase is with Kalex now and I don't have anything to do because I've already made all the proposals for my next event. I just need to submit." I sighed.This has always been my problem ever since Kalex and I had an agreement. When Jase isn't by my side I can't do anything so I usually just read a book until I fall asleep. Everything's just boring whenever Jase's not at home.Quir and I decided to eat outside the company. Sometimes the food is also boring because the menu is almost always the same."So I was thinking, how about we go out tonight?" He asked as we eat at one of our favorite place near the hotel. It's delicious here in case there's majesty so we only eat here when new wages.
Gwyneth’s POV"Excellent job, Gwyn." I beamed at as he opened his arms and I ran towards him to hug him. He picked me up and turned me around."I did it!" I shouted at him and we were both laughing. "The senator loved the theme for the party ... he loved everything."They even popped a confetti for me. One of our officemates opened a bottle of wine to celebrate and gave me one. "Cheers to Gwyneth!"After months of preparing one of the biggest events of the year, I'm just so glad I finished the job. Who would have thought that I would host a politician's birthday party?I've been the event manager of big business men in the country but the aura is still different when your clients are influential in the Philippines. I met the president, the vice president, and even celebrities last night! That’s how big was the event that I organized and I'm happy to see the proud look
Gwyneth’s POV"Sorry you had to wait." Kalex said as he took the seat in front of me. I stared at him intently while calling the server to give him coffee.Short stubbles are starting to grow on his chin. There are bags under his eyes and his hair is too long. To some, I'm sure he looked fine, but I know him too well to see that he's not. That's not the Kalex I know. These past few days must've been hard for him.I was making it hard for him."What do you want to talk about?" He asked after his coffee was served in front of him. His eyes made its way to mine, but then he immediately looked away. To this day he still can’t look at me."I'll go straight to the point." He nodded as he mixed his coffee. "I heard you ... at the bar. I heard what you said to Demitri." That made him look at me.His eyes are full of guilt that confirmed that everything I
Gwyneth’s POV"Quir?" He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I'm okay."You scared me back there." He said and shook his head."I'm sorry. She just came out of nowhere." Said a man approaching us. He seems to be the driver of the car. He helped us stand up. "I really didn't see you." The man approached me. "Are you hurt? Should I bring you two to the hospital?""No. We're fine." Quir replied with a smile and then they talked. He glanced at me before shaking hands with the driver who said goodbye."So, what are you doing here besides killing yourself?" He joked. I was embarrassed to close my eyes because of his question."I haven't seen it." Is this man like everyone who sees me like this? I looked up at him when he chuckled. Since Quir is much taller than me he put his hands on top of my head and beamed at me."Let's get some
Gwyneth’s POVI walked into the building and went straight to Kalex's office. I can sense all those stares from the people here. I know others here know me because I was once Kalex’s high school friend. Maybe that’s also the reason why some of them were staring at me.I just ignored them because I have nothing to do with them anyway. I came here because of Kalex and they weren’t my goal. I also hate people looking at me, as if spotlight was pointing at me as of this moment. It looks like I’ll be their topic once I turned my back at them. These dumb as* has really nothing to do instead of focusing on their work. Tch.While walking to Kalex’s office I came across a kid chasing a ball. He was running and not looking to where he's going so I tried to avoid but he still collided with me, causing him to fall to the floor. Awts. His back must be hurt.“A
