When I finished my shift, I went straight home to start preparing dinner. After a short period of time, Jack arrived as well. I greeted him at the front door as I normally do and gave him a brief peck on the lips as I did so. The action made Jack smile widely as he returned it and hugged me. "Come on, let's eat. There’s - There’s something I would like to discuss with you later," I told Jack while keeping the same smile on my face. Jack raised an eyebrow. "Wow, what a coincidence, mom. I have something to tell you, too. And I swear you’re gonna love it!"Jack was smiling from ear to ear. I didn't want to ruin his joyful mood so I forced myself to smile as well and join in the meal. After eating and finishing dinner, Jack and I went to the living room to talk."So, what’s up, mom? What did you want to talk about with me?" Jack asked me, his eyes carrying a mixture of curiosity and excitement.It seemed as though my back was covered by ice. I looked down at my lap and tried my best n

"You're working way too hard. How about you give yourself a break and get some rest first?"I turned around and saw Ryan standing at the entrance door of my flower shop. I smiled and replied, "You know I can’t. Besides, there are lots of orders today. It would be a waste of today’s sales if I don’t move and make the most out of it today.”Ryan smiled and sat in his favorite spot near the counter. "Where’s Amy?""She was sleeping soundly when I left her. I left her with Gio, her new best friend," I replied as I started to arrange the 20th set of flower bouquets on the table."He doesn’t have classes today?" Ryan asked further. He rose up to his seat and almost grabbed the basket of flowers I just picked up - an action he had been doing for the past few months whenever he visited my shop.I quickly retracted the basket from him. “You don’t need to, I can handle this.” I positioned the basket on a separate table nearby. “And, uh, yes. He has planned to play basketball the entire day actu

When I turned around, I was completely taken aback to find Crista standing in front of me. I couldn't recover from the shock as she rushed up to me and hugged me. “Auntie! I'm so glad to see you again."She took a step back and gazed at me with eyes that were wide with joy and delight. "I- I had no idea you were coming." I had actually planned to surprise you by visiting you at your apartment. This is such an amazing and wonderful coincidence, auntie!I just stood there motionless, my thoughts going completely blank for a good second before I took a long breath and turned to look at Crista again. I was going to return her greeting despite the shock and disbelief coursing through my body when another voice cut me off."Mom."My entire body began to shiver, and it felt to me as though the world had come to a standstill. I took a deep breath and turned around cautiously. It was, of course, none other than Jack.His features had grown a bit, with his jaw becoming more pointed and his shou

I forced myself to forget what had happened and continued to immerse myself in the operations of my flower shop business. I had been receiving quite a number of orders from both new and existing clients, which was not surprising given that the holiday season was drawing near. Fortunately, I haven't heard anything from Jack or his family since that fateful day, either. It was enough to buy me some time to gather my thoughts and get a grip on the situation.It had been only a week since Jack and Crista threw a welcome party for their new home. Things between Jack and me have changed dramatically over the last year. Jonah advised me that despite all that had transpired between Jack and me as well as how tense the situation had become, I should still face him with an open heart. Because he was still my son despite everything that had happened and regardless of whether or not we had been fighting with each other.No one, not even Jack and I ourselves, has ever been able to explain what wen

"O-Oh, you're here as well…" I said with a smile."Yes, auntie. This came as such a surprise to me. Umm," Crista grinned at me and abruptly glanced at Ryan with a puzzled expression."Oh, right. This is Ryan Gonzales, he is a good friend of mine. Ryan, this is Crista, she is Aki's wife," I introduced them to each other. Both Ryan and Crista smiled and gave each other a friendly handshake. “It’s nice to meet you. I didn’t know auntie has a very good-looking guy friend…” Crista remarked and praised.Ryan let out a soft chuckle. “Thanks for the compliment. But I think compared to Jack, my genes are nothing.”Both of them, which included me soon, giggled at their silly jokes. Trying to appear as natural as possible and being the oldest of us four, I then invited Jack and Crista to join us at our table. Immediately upon hearing my offer, Crista's face lit up, which brought a smile to my face in response. Perhaps, I began to consider inside my head, Crista and I could get along too...We

As I gazed into those eyes, my body melted. Seeing him like this made me feel like I'd gone back in time. However, I was well aware that it was foolish of me to wish and imagine that this was the case.I was aware that Jack now had a wife and a child. I could tell he was happy being with his family. And because of that, it was impossible for us to ever be together again. It gave us a stronger reason to not touch, kiss, or hold each other as much as we did back then.In spite of this, I was still unable to manage my own emotions well enough.Jack closed the gap between us and brought our lips together. As I closed my eyes and felt my makeup gradually becoming smudged and damaged, he pulled me closer to him and made our kiss more passionate. I didn't push him, I didn't stop him. Instead, I shifted the angle we were facing one another, which offered him better access to a more powerful and satisfying kiss. Whenever Jack rubbed his lips against mine, I could sense his excitement. Our bo

For the first time in a long time, when I woke up, my mind felt clear and revitalized. When I thought back on all that took place the previous evening, I instantly sat up and looked at the space next to me. As soon as I realized it, my face sank, and my heart stopped beating.That space on the bed was empty. There was no sign of Mom.My veins were suddenly flooded with a chilling iciness that I couldn't deny. As I forced myself to get from the bed and walk away from it, I couldn't even begin to describe how I was feeling. Mom was supposed to be there, but she wasn't.Had I just been dreaming about everything again? How many times had I dreamed of being with mom? Since I left the country to pursue that project, she had never left my thoughts when I went to bed at night, and she continued to do so even when we had stopped talking. My thoughts kept returning to her as if she were the only person in the world. All day and all night...It had been her and no one else.It was beyond my con

"No. "You like that too, Mom," I said with a firm look and tone. This was it. I won’t let her take over and control the distance between us however she wanted.The reality had to be shown to her – that there was more to her and me than she had initially imagined and wanted to believe."Aki, that's enough," Mom insisted yet again. "Look, all I can tell is that you're confused, and...""Damn it, mom, I'm not confused! And I'm sure you aren't either. We both know we wanted what happened."I couldn't help but let out a pathetic sigh. I was at a loss to understand what was going through mom's head. After giving her a fleeting glance, I understood that my tolerance for her had reached its limit. I was no longer able to exert any control over myself. I quickly grabbed mom, kissed her on the lips, and gave her a tight embrace. Mom fought and pushed me away, but her defenses were too thin and feeble to keep me away from her. After a split second of resistance, she finally caved in and kissed m

Everything in the world changes. No matter how much you love something and want it to stay, a day will come when it will disappear and you will lose it.

"Bes, are you ready?" I asked my best friend Crista.She sat in front of the mirror and fixed her hair. She smiled and faced me, “I am."I smiled back and couldn't help but sigh.

Troy's family is quite wealthy and as far as I know, Troy's father is running for governor.It has been a year since Crista was released from prison.

A woman was calling me, her soft voice alluring just like her touches were. I felt with every caress of it the intense love that seemed to never fade coming from her. Chasing my breath, I kissed her while applying our lips. The strands of her long hair were left by the rays coming from the round moon from the window. I couldn’t help but pull her even further towards me, kissing me with full joy and excitement.With this woman, my heart is full and overjoyed.I hastened even more in apprehension and excitement to touch her. It felt as though my heart would explode every time she calls my name. Her hands were warm, soft, yet hot all at the same time while grasping at my back. I groaned, reaching my climax as I held her closer. In those moments, I just wanted to feel her whole and I couldn’t understand but gradually felt anxiety in my chest."Troy."I frowned when I heard another woman's voice."Troy, wake up. You're dreaming again..."I slowly opened my eyes. Almost immediately, an un

"I thought you were tired," I told him between moans as he rubbed his erection against my entrance. He bit his lower lip before emitting a groan and coming closer to kiss me on the lips again. “If it’s you, I don’t get tired,” he said before forcing me to open my mouth so his tongue would come in, tasting and devouring all the parts he could reach.Panting, he lifted my thigh up and pushed in. I moaned, feeling Jack’s cock twitching and growing even faster and sinking into me. I clung to his shoulder, becoming a trembling mess for the thousandth time. Soon, Jack picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. Amy was in the other room and was already asleep. "She won’t hear us," Jack reminded me and even told me to just moan if I wanted to.Muddle-headed, I rubbed Jack’s neck and gasped as he suddenly put me on top of him, my entrance enveloping his erection as I sat down. I shuddered a breath as I felt its enormous tip begin to penetrate, its hardness raw and burning as my hips moved

The next day, Jack was finally discharged and we headed home to the condo where Jonah, Gio, and of course, my very cute daughter Amy were waiting. As soon as I saw her, I quickly picked her up and hugged her tightly. I missed my daughter so much and I also felt that she missed me as the entire afternoon that day, she slept on my shoulder and cried whenever I would try to place her back in her crib. "Mars, how about you put Amy down first?” Jonah suggested while drinking coffee.Jack had excused himself earlier, telling all of us that he needed to do something quickly in the office. I told him he needed to take things slow first as he had only been discharged from the hospital but he just wouldn’t budge, saying it had something to do with his boss and his position too. Worried he might lose his job, I let him go but only with the condition that he would be home immediately. Because of that, I was left here with Amy, Jonah, and Gio. "Shh," I replied to Jonah.She took a sip from her

Jack and I couldn’t hide the truth anymore. We had already kept our relationship for too long and in the process, I failed to think about other people’s true feelings about it. Just like Jonah, with whom I should have been honest from the start. Jack was right when he said sooner or later, the people who knew us would know. It was just a matter of time. “There’s no rush. When it comes to these things, don’t think too much,” Jack told me while holding my hand. We were lying side by side on the hospital bed. According to the doctor, he still needed to stay for a few more days to fully recover. Just a few more check-ups and if they had good results, he could go home anytime then. I let out a sigh and glanced at our intertwined hands. When he said he didn’t want to let go of my hand earlier, I didn’t know it would be for this long. I smiled at the thought.Jack… He loves me a lot and I feel the same way about him. But, how far will this love take us?Before I could think any deeper, Ja

In a slow and weak voice and with a smile, he uttered, “... Mom… am I dreaming?"I shook my head and wiped the tears from my cheeks. "No. You're okay, Aki. You're not dreaming. You’re safe now, and alive… You’re alive, baby.."I grabbed his hand and squeezed it before I promptly turned around and said, "I'll just call the nurse."Before I could entirely break down and cry myself in front of Jack, I hurriedly went out and called the doctor and nurse.They both came quickly and did a check-up on Jack. It went faster than I thought, or perhaps I was too focused on Jack, seeing him well, and finally opened his eyes that I could barely put my attention on anyone else. After a few minutes, the doctor gave me a few instructions before they finally told Jack to stay and get well, and finally left. After discovering what happened to Jack and me, the local high officials gave us a private room. It wasn’t exactly as grand as most of the private hospitals had but it was neat and decent enough fo

Holding Jack's hand, I heard the speed of my heartbeat while in the ambulance. Just when we were about to lose hope, Jonah came with the police. Even Bon and Norman came back and helped us. Jack continued to be unconscious and was lying in front of me, some medical personnel on the side to continue supporting him and pressing to stop his bleeding. I couldn’t even feel my own body anymore. I was just looking at him, praying and praying he won’t slip away… He had lost too much blood… I tightened the grip on his hand, my own stomach feeling as though it was being twisted in excruciating tight knots. My head was spinning but I held in, my trembling fingers continued to hold onto his hand. My Jack’s hand. Time went on like years while Jack and I were in that ambulance. It was probably the longest trip I had ever been on but also the one I was too afraid to end. As soon as we reached the hospital, the medical staff told me to prepare for the worst.Because Jack’s heartbeats were faint.

"No…No… The tribe!" Mom exclaimed with a loud gasp as she moved and was about to run back to the village when I caught her hand in time. “Mom!” I held her. “Aki, t-they’re in danger…!” She exclaimed, her eyes round and full of worry. “They need our help, Aki!”I tightened my grip on her and pulled her to my side. Then I turned to Bon and Norman, waiting for them to speak. Even they were too shocked and seemingly unable to think what to do next. I looked up again, thinking… Then I stopped, finally realizing what it could be. Sh*t… Crista… Her men were the cause of this, weren’t they?!I gritted my teeth, the anger spreading throughout my chest. I turned to Bon and told him, “Head back to the tribe.”Bon seemed to snap back from his shock. He looked at me, clenching his hands into fists as he suppressed his emotions. “No… We can’t. Nana’s order was for us to take you two to the nearest town.” "Aki! We need to go back!" mom almost cried when she said that.I tried to think of the situ
