I don't think I'm the only girl who wants a man who has money, is nice, good looking, and loyal. I mean, that should be the bare minimum for the criteria of a husband.
Example one: my sister. She is the first in our family who got married. Just like me, she's pretty, funny, and everything you want as a girlfriend and wife.
But she chose to marry that boy she met at church. Urgh, they might have the most beautiful pair of kids but they sure live not up to my standard.
I mean, I've been in that middle class family for eighteen years. I'd be stupid to want to stay that way when I have every means to change my life.
So I really don't understand why someone like my sister would marry my brother in law. Like I get it, he tall he's handsome he's like a freaking model but he's a technician! And now they're living in the same neighbourhood as my parents. Urgh. Poor life decision.
God is sure merciful when He gives me another example with my brother, the second sibling out of four.
He's that famous guy in high school who every girl wants to sleep with. But no, he's gotta be that loyal boyfriend when he stays with his childhood sweetheart and marry her after college.
Well at least he's smart to marry someone rich that helps him leave our small house and move into that giant bungalow. But the thing is, she's ugly. Okay maybe not ugly but mediocre.
And the result is? Yeah, their kids are ugly. Fine, mediocre.
Whatever. I definitely learned my lessons.
Number one, marry rich.
Number two, marry rich and good looking spouse.And number three? Well that's what my second sister taught me; marry someone who has all above but is loyal and treats you like a treasure, or more.
She marries a Greek god who's smart and good looking but sure has a shitty playboy trait. Yeah he has a high paying job so he might not born rich like my sister in law but he knows how to make money.
They live like a nomad, moving to a new country every few years because he itches to find a job with more challenges and higher pay, but I sure know the real reason behind it.
They have this luxury life, producing beautiful kids, but the real reason behind their constant migration from one country to another, sometimes to different continent is because of his infidelity.
Doesn't matter how many times my sister cries on the phone while telling me about the new mistress, I know after the third time she'll never leave him despite whatever I say.
'Time: 3pm
Place: KreyonReservation: PheonixClient: E.E and O.H'This Miss Collins sure works efficiently because I received the email a couple minutes after my phone call with Helen.
"Where are you now?" She asks the moment I pick up her call.
"Don't worry, I'm not bailing." I'm in fact on my way to the restaurant. Just a couple more steps then I'll arrive at the front door.
"I know you won't. Just checking if everything's fine."
"Yeah I am. But, Oh? Really?" I can't help but to laugh reading the initial of my new sugardaddy, "O-H? Really, Helen?"
"He's as easy going as his name is."
"Hm. Interesting. So what else do you have for me besides his easy going personality?" I ask in a mocking tone.
"You know I can't reveal anything about the client except his initials."
"Geesh you-no-fun Madam Helen."
She laughs, "Let me know once you've decided. Though Miss Collins is ready with the contract."
I chuckle, "That easy going, huh?"
***
Fixing my pink colored summer dress, I take a deep breath as I follow the host to the table under the reservation of Pheonix.
I've done this sort of meetings more than ten times already but I'm always nervous. Always, always nervous because this is the first meeting, the one that will determine if I want to be his sugar baby. Or him to decide if he wants to proceed with me or cancel the arrangement.
My heart drums at the sight of a man sitting at a table near the window. There are a few guys sitting alone at their table but I somehow have this instinct that he's the guy.
As I walk closer to the table, just like any other girl when they see an attractive human being, I take a full view of him and judge him from his appearance.
Dark blonde hair with the length of not too long but not too short either, with serious facial expression as he stares at his phone without even realising I am almost there now.
I don't know how tall he is since he's sitting right now but he looks like he is from the long legs and torso. And from the way his muscles fill up that black shirt, well, he sure has an active gym membership.
"Here's your table," the host announces and that's when he finally lifts his face.
"Hi." My heart warms the moment I hear his deep voice along with the dimple on his left cheek when he smiles. Damn it, he sure is a heart throb.
He stands up and walks around to help retrieve the seat for me as I reply his hi, and then a "Thank you," once I sit on the chair.
"My pleasure." He goes back to his seat as the host asks me for my choice of drink.
"Can I have a glass of Rose?"
He nods and leaves the two of us as I place my phone in my pink Chanel clutch; I don't want any interruption during this important meeting. If anything, having manners is one of the things that keeps a woman classy. And I intend to be one until I die.
Wait. Important meeting?I thought I've already decided not to go through with it? Why would it be important, it's just for a free meal.
But honestly, his eyes, gosh I only take a look at his eyes for less than a minute but I sure got sucked out by how mysterious those orbs are. Green? Blue? Grey? Turquoise? Damn it, what color is his eyes?
But I can't gaze at them like a curious fool. I've gotta keep my composure. Raise the bar a little higher by not showing I'm interested or whatsoever.
"Sorry I'm late, it's my first day at New York. Still learning my way here." I grin awkwardly as I look at him again. Damn it, those eyes are doing it again, hypnotising me into thinking what color are they.
"Your first day? Where are you from?" He seems shocked but then he shakes it off with a smile. The dimple is making an appearance again.
"Uhm, London." I answer him with just one word as a waiter approaches us and delivers my drink.
"Could've fooled me, you don't have the accent though," he continues once the waiter disappears after I thanked him.
"I'm from Texas, just studying at London."
"Oh," he nods understandingly but I close my eyes as my attempt to stop myself from laughing. Damn it.
"Sorry, it's just, uhh," I shake my head repeatedly, damn it, this is highly unprofessional. And definitely not classy. Like how old am I, five? To laugh at people's name?
"When you said oh," I somehow managed to control myself, "Your initials. O-H."
"Ohhh." He says it again and that's when I burst into a much bigger laughter that my upper body shakes.
As if my laughter is contagious, he laughs as well making both of us look like two idiots who don't deserve to be here at this luxury restaurant when everyone seems prim and proper.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't laugh at your initials." I quickly apologise once I managed to tone down my inappropriate behaviour. Urgh. This is embarrassing.
"If this makes it better, I'm Estelle Evans, Eeeee."
And here we are, laughing again that some pairs of eyes are starting to divert towards us.
"Owen Harris, Ohhhh."
Definitely two idiots with their Eeee and Ohhh.
So far I've known he's very easy to get along with, has a sense of humor, and definitely gives me this cool-guy vibes. "I don't think I should waste your time," I begin my little speech about not taking the position that's being offered when he suddenly cuts me off, "You're gorgeous, you're hilarious, if anything it's definitely not wasting my time. I'm honoured you'd spend your time with me this long in fact." I grin at his seems-to-be-sincere compliment, and decide to scratch my itch before going further with my no, "You're good looking, and funny, obviously have tons of money, so why would you need a sugar baby? I seriously don't get it." He smiles as he sips his drink, "Perhaps you should say yes to know the reason, hmm?" "You know I'm gonna say no since the beginning?" "Miss Collins did tell me about your rejection." I know how things go in Cupcake. He'd be presented with a few profiles, he'd select one, then he'd have a meeting with her.
As usual, once I steer clear of the client, I take out my phone and type his name for a G****e search to know more about who's I'm gonna be dealing with for the next three months. Or one day. Depending on the top secret requiring-NDA-signed reason. Though yeah, I'm very curious to know his dating history, what he owns or to be specific, how did he gain his wealth. Most importantly, what juicy gossips I can gather from the internet; the ones their PR team decided to be known to the world. 'Owen Harris is an English former professional footballer-' I choke on my saliva reading that last word. Footballer? Professional footballer? Okay. Explains the muscles. 'Born, height, spouse, number, children', okay boring. Because the only part that's filled is the born, number, and height. But good, he's not cheating then. No wife, no kids. Nothing against my principles. Because there's no way I'm gonna be with a cheating douchebag, not even for a m
"Here's your room," he opens the door on our left as I can't help but to ask, "And whose door is this?" when I see another one on the opposite of my new bedroom door. "That would be mine, there's only two rooms on this floor so here, come in," and he pushes the door to reveal my new chamber for the next three months. My jaw totally drops seeing how huge the space is. It's like having a separate apartment. A mini living area with a cream colored couch, a super duper large bed at the end of the room, with a door that I believe is the ensuite bathroom. Don't tell me he also has a walk in closet for me? Cause that would be sick! I've always wanted one, and pretend that I indeed have it every time I stay at those luxurious suites with my sugar daddies, even for a short few-days vacation. But to have one here, on a long stay, dedicated specially for me, "Oh wow." "Do you like it?" He asks as he stands in front of the shelves in the walk-in c
Setting the temperature of the oven after sliding the tray with the giant chicken on it, I admire his back in awe. Mhmmm yummy. "Do you know how to cook?" He asks once he turns around, now standing in front of the kitchen counter, facing me. Only this giant marble thing is separating the two of us. "Not a pro but yeah, a bit." I'm from a middle class family, of course I know how to feed myself. It's not like we're blessed with a helper. But to answer with a confident yes doesn't seem like an option if we were to compare our skill level. The pots and pans picture? The pose in his chef outfit while holding a knife? Well turns out he sells them and is the ambassador of his own brand. That definitely killed my laugh yesterday when I read about that fact. That company alone must have worth millions. Besides having his own business producing all sorts of cookware, he also has five restaurants all over the world. But surprisingly, none in England. Weird, bec
"So we'll bond these two weeks at full speed," I summarise the lengthy discussion we've had while cooking and over dinner just now, "Then perhaps take a snail pace when I start my internship, and go at a comfortable speed once I've adjusted to my new life." He agrees as he tops up my Rose, "Sounds like a perfect plan." Treating me with good food and prepares my choice of champagne beforehand, he really is trying his best to keep me here for his mission of sexual exploration. Honestly, he's so easy going I don't think it will be a bumpy ride. We've spent hours talking and being in each other's space but I haven't even once find myself to have any negative feelings towards him. "So on the full speed part, besides getting to know each other, should we start having sex too?" I ask in the most nonchalant tone I can muster when deep down I'm wondering if I'm stepping on the boundary. I mean, this is only our first day. No, tomorrow is our first day.
It's crazy how we just met last Saturday, then become roomies the next day, and by Monday we're officially sugar baby and sugar daddy. Six days with him, and today is exactly one week since we first met, but I think I've known him for years already. Tonight, as agreed, I'm gonna go to his room for the first time ever; we agreed to share the bed once the weekend is here. Knocking on his door, I wait patiently in my champagne satin negligee, with my hair and make up done. But he doesn't respond to my knocks, making me confused if I should try again in a few minutes or just barge in uninvited. After all, we did agree, didn't we? So I've actually got an invitation. I walk back to my room because I can't bring myself to go against my own principle; I don't do stuffs without consent. So I play with my phone as I hang out at the balcony. Realising twenty minutes has passed, I force myself to go back to his room. I check my hair and make up, m
Every morning once I open my eyes I'd immediately go out to my balcony to watch him pick the vegetables and herbs for our first meal of the day. So sexy yet adorable, he'd squat in his sweatpants, shirtless of course, as he talks to his plants. "Awwww my baby has grown!" to the tomatoes. "Come to papa!" to his first victim when he visits the garden. "I'm sorry I have to eat you today," that apologetic voice towards the unlucky veggies that's gonna fill our tummy. Sometimes I fantasise it's me he's talking to. Hopeless, I know. Anyway, this morning when I open my eyes, instead of rushing to the balcony I realise I'm still lying on the bed at his terrace. The transparent roof is hidden again as I take a breath of the fresh air. It's amazing how he can get a place like this when twenty minutes away from here, it's already the busy city that's too polluted compared to this neighbourhood. I'm lying alone on the bed eventhough I thin
"Do you like it?""Mhmm." "Can I do more?""I don't think-" "But you said you liked it! Come on, one more. Just one more," I'm already grabbing his index finger with evil grin on my face. He sighs, "Fine. One more." I put his hand on my lap then reach for the small bottle in front of us. The moment I've finished uncap the bottle, he suddenly takes his hand back. "I change my mind." He brings his hand to his back, hiding the one thing I want the most right now. I narrow my eyes at him, "Give me." It's a stern order, along with my hand in the air, waiting for him to surrender his precious hand on my palm. "Either you give me your finger or I finger your asshole right.now." Instead of being intimidated by my threat, he chuckles and gets up, ready to leave the long couch we're sharing. "Getting another drink. Want one?" He asks with the empty glass in his hand. "Sit down, mister. We're not done yet."
š±š» "We shouldn't do this, Owen." At this rate I'm just gonna agree to anything she says because tomorrow night she'll be here again, asking for another dose of release. We're in a toxic cycle alright, but we're definitely communicating healthily. I listen to her rant about the guilt she has for coming over to my room almost every night, but she can't help it because according to her, her judgement is currently being clouded with hormones. And I do talk to her as well, opening up about my hope that we unite as a couple, for ourselves and also for our daughters. But she asks for time, since she's still in therapy so she could be heavily influenced by the drugs she's taking daily. We function as best friends from day to day, co-parenting our kids in this apartment, though I do plan sometime in the future to convince her about all of us moving back to my place, to where it all began. "Do you want me to stop?" I ask her after she whines a couple more times. She bites her lips as sh
š±š»'s POV"Papa, can I eat this banana?" Pao asks when I was still supervising Iva gobbling the steamed broccoli, since we're going with baby-led weaning."Are you sure you wanna eat it? Can you take a smaller banana? You just ate dinner, it's too big I think. You wouldn't be able to finish the whole thing. Why don't you grab a smaller one on the counter, hm Princesa?"She turns to Estelle that is still eating her food, "Mama, is this banana too big?""Nahh, it's average." She answers nonchalantly to which I put my hand on my chest, "Ouch. That hurts." Because that banana is the size of my ding dong.She laughs once she realises what she just said, "It is what it is, Papa."
š§š¼'s POVHugo has moved to Barcelona three months ago so we're officially living in one place since then.Yes, we. Including me, the father of these girls.Iva is seven months old now so she has started eating solid food last month. That means she's sleeping better and longer, also drinking milk lesser making both of us much more relaxed since she's only up during the day and sound asleep the entire night.Which only means..."Where are you going?" I ask her when she comes out of her room dressed in an off-shoulder red dress that hugs her curves perfectly. Her boobs look hella amazing with a deep cleavage showed through the
š±š»'s POVShe gives birth to our daughter at the mark of her 39th week of pregnancy after spending nearly two weeks at the hospital, arrested for bedrest all thanks to me and my stupidity.Me, of all people, know how high risk is her pregnancy but of course I have to screw it up by being immature myself for her immature actions. I should've shut up instead of screaming at her when she was obviously scared, her whole body trembled with blood drained from her face. I fucking owe it to her if anything happens to our daughter.Thankfully we're blessed with a healthy dark-haired, clear blue eyes baby girl, or should I say, she gave birth to a mini her. I'm officially a father to three girls.I make it possible to fly her best friends as soon as possible and pla
"How far along are you?"The fact that this would be the first time he has ever said anything to me since the fight makes me stop drinking my water as I put down the glass on the hard surface in front of me, finally taking the whole view of the man I didn't share the bed with last night. Instead, I cried like a pathetic human being on the couch while talking to my best friends.Well, just two more nights then he can relieve his duty to Kimmie since she's wrapping up her work to be here with me until delivery.As of last night's video call, I'm instructed to engage with my psychologist first thing in the morning because according to her, "This is a cry for help, exactly like five years ago. Call her, set an appointment, talk to her before you become suicidal again
I really don't wanna leave work when the clock hits 6, wanting to delay as long as I can by pretending I need to finish up everything though in reality, all those can wait. Time goes so slow until I've had it with my back pain so I packup and leave the office. If he stays, he stays. If he doesn't, so what. Life goes on. Afterall, I never wanted to be with him after the baby's out. It's just me and my girls. As expected, he's not home when I unlock my place at 10. I don't have the appetite to eat because all I want to do once I realise he really isn't home is to lie on the bed and hide under the blanket. It's pathetic of me to look for him at every corner after what I did. I literally sent him away in a silver platter. I drop my bag on the floor then go under the duvet without minding my work clothes, covering my
"Pao, can you tell Papa again what you just told me?"The man who just returned from his morning jog stops drinking his water immediately, eyeing his daughter who's busy making a bead necklace with Mia at the kitchen island."Hmmm? Which part?" She asks, still focusing on her art."The boy part.""Boy?" I knew he'd react this way, "What boy? Why? What happened? And which boy is this? Do I know him? What happened, Pao?""Relax, he didn't do anything." I jump in before he over-reacts further making all of us uncomfortable."Yeah, he just kissed me." The little girl answers nonchalantly to which his Papa raises his voice in shock, "What?!"
"Be honest, do I look pretty?"I have this important meeting today at the office so I'm hoping my pregnancy won't be the spotlight. My work should be, as always. I sometimes hate how I get special treatment just because I'm pregnant, or the fact this is my first baby after ten years. I'm not fragile, I'm just pregnant.I mean, yeah, thank you for being sensitive. But I can work just fine. Stop asking me to go home when it's only 4. I'm capable to stay until late evening, just as I've been doing every Monday and Tuesday for the past seven months."You want me to be honest or to tell you pretty?"I can't believe he had the audacity to joke like that when I'm all serious this morning.He grins perhaps finally catching the invisi
Have you ever done something stupid which afterwards when you've recovered from the high, you now feel the cringe every time you remember the bits of it?I wish I didn't sleep with him last night.I wish I thought about it, and said no instead of diving into it. Though I did say no, I was just weak; incapable to decline his charm. I mean, who'd say no to a fine specimen like that, someone who you've been fantasising for a while now.I wore his shirt for a reason, and why would I settle for the shirt if I can have the man himself. Why would I smell the shirt to feel him when I can have him right inside me, filling me to the brim.I've spent the entire day at the office thinking
