JosephI stopped in front of a coffe shop as I pulled out my phone from my pocket and diall Madelynne’s number.“Mads, I am right in front of your coffee shop.” I said.Madelynne, a woman whom I have started to got close to these last few months. She is 4 yours younger than me, she’s 25 this year. And she has always wanted to be a writer, and got the chance to publish her book with a publisher. I have always wanted to help her, but she always insist on doing that alone by herself. She wanted to achieve what she want from her own hard work. “Here I got you coffee.” She said once she entered my car and hand me a cup of hot Americano.“Woa, thank you Mads. Always know me so well.” I said.She nodded her head, “yeah, you are welcome, so how is it going with your sister? Has she got better? You promised me that you will bring me to meet her, I also wanted to meet her baby too. And also how is her stupid and abusive husband? Is it true from what I read on social media that both of them are
AaronMiguel entered my office, “damn! Is this really Aaron? How can the Aaron who once love his Gemma a lot suddenly turned into a blind eye and just let his Gemma suffered alone now” he mocked me.I took a tissue from my table and squeeze it into a ball and throw it to him. “Shut up you! Told you I am really changing this time.” I saidHe raised his eyebrow as he looked at me disbelieve. “I really hope so. You should have changed since the day one you are married. But it is also better late than never, so proud of you bro! I wish you a lifetime happiness after this!” She said.I nodded my head and thank him. Thank you a lot Mig. It is also because of you and Malika that I finally got to realize that I could lose anything. But still sane because now I have a family I can go back home to.” I said.He laughed, “damn bro, I just praised you and you are already looking dumb again.” He said.My mouth went wide, what the hell is this bestfriend of mine thinking about.“It is now that you h
Aaron's POV•I hold Emily's hand as we walked in the hall to our hotel room. "I am so happy to spend this whole week with you." I said."Thank you for bringing me to LA again, love" she said. I hugged her. "Anytime Emily." I said.When we finally reach to our room, I opened the door for her, and we have a mini hotel room tour. When both of us finally sat down on our bed, I looked at her, "how's your first relationship? When was it?" I asked her.She smiled and looked at me, "it was when I was 18. And he is my best friend." She said. “And losing him was a nightmare I wish I could wake up to and realize it was only a dream. But it was not.” She said sadly.I knitted my brows, really need to accept the fact that I saw her admiring her ex does make me feel jealous about it. But I decided to push the feeling away, and ask on her again, “How long was that relationship?" I asked her again. "A year. We just finally found that we are better off as friends." She said and after that I sighed i
EmilyI coughed a little trying to warm up the situation a little bit. “Mum, this is a small gift that Aaron, Niles and I prepared for you,” I said to my mum as I handed a small purple velvet box. My mum received her gift happily as she smiled and dais, “Ah thank you to the three of you.” She said as she is slowly opened up the box in her hand.I can see her eyes shine when she looked at the gift in her hand. A 30 carats diamond ring. “This is too much, Emily , Aaron.. with you both coming here to have a dinner with me and bringing Niles along already made me so happy..” she said as I can see tears started to cover her eyes,I sighed as I said, “Mum .. no tears on your happy day .. “ I said. As Aaron also nodded his head , “ Yeah , mum.. we all come here to celebrate with you. For me personally to thank you even more with trusting me to be with your daughter again. Happy birthday, once again mum..” Aaron said with so much respect in her eyes. I know that he respect both my mum and d
AaronI walked to look at Niles sleeping at his baby crib. Then decided to walked out and look for Emily. I found her at the kitchen cooking. So I decided to approach her and hug her from behind.She look shocked at first. “I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to defend her.” I said as I put my head on her left shoulder. “I know I shouldn’t have said that. And I am so sorry.” I said.She nodded her head, “it is ok.” She answered me as she kept on cooking.“Babe.. don’t be mad.” I said as I kissed her cheek.“She will always hold a special place in your heart I know.” She muttered. That is when I turned of the stove and turned her around facing me as both of my palms on her face holding her to look at me. There were tears in her eyes. “I know you will not even look at me if I did not get pregnant. Hell, I do not even think that you will be here with me if the kid that she gave birth to is yours. I might have been long time forgotten by you. She will always come first to you.” She said as the t
EmilyI looked at Aaron once we pulled away from eachother. As much as how I want to take revenge on him, I can not lie that there still feeling that I have left for him.And saw him defending his ex was just it for me. I done cooking for dinner as we both ate. I got a phone call from Madalynne, Joseph’s girlfriend.I stood up and walked away from the dining table, excusing myself, “Maddy is calling me.” I inform Aaron first.“Yes, Mad, what happened?“ I asked her.I can hear her sobbing silently, “hey, are you okay?” I asked her again. “Emily… Joseph..” she started.I started to panic too, scared that there might be something happened to them.“He was going on a blind date. I just.. I do not know who I can call at this time.” She said.“He went on a blind date?” I asked her. I never know that Joseph is this kind of player.“Hey you calm down, Ok, I will call Joseph now. Have you had your dinner? Do you want me to come and visit you?” I asked her clearly know how heartbroken she mig
***• Joseph's POV •I watched as Madalynne drove away, punch my hand in the air. She barely got mad at me. And I don't know why today is different. Cause you were having a date with another woman, dumbass! My mind mocked me.I walked up to my car and think about drive to her place and begging for forgiveness now. I started the engine and drove.I stop right in front of Maddy’s flat as my phone rang, I looked at the caller’s name and saw Emily is calling me.I sighed before I answered her. Before I could answer her, she was already started rambling and scolded me about how stupid I am. I bet Maddy has called and told her about everything, before I could even answered Emily’s accusation. I heard Aaron’s voice also scolding me.Damn, does this guy already forget that he was also so dumb and did even much worse thing that What I did? I closed my eyes and just let him rambling. After that Emily took back her phone and started to talk to me again, “yeah, I am right in front of her flat no
***Madalynne POVAfter we both solved our problems, Joseph decided to order a takeaway for our dinner. Once the food is ready he put it out to a plate and we sat down ready to eat."So how's your meeting went by? Everything's good?" Joseph asked me as we ate our dinner.I looked at him then back to my food and spoon myself the food, "It's good. Myles was so nice, he even started to ramble about making my book into movies, but I told him that it's ok,I better work on publishing my book first." I said then laugh.Joseph look at me, "Who's Myles?" He asked."He's the CEO of Z.H.O.U Publisher." I said."why are you calling him by his first name?" He asked.I looked at him, "cause he asked me to," I said.He sighed, "And it is because he likes you." He stated, I shook my head. "No, he was just being nice." I said. "No, babe. He definitely likes you, who the hell just ask a stranger they barely know to call them by their first name out of nowhere?" He said. "Joseph no, it is just a signi
“are you breaking up with me?” I asked her.She shook her head in reply to me , “I am not asking for a break up , I just wanted us to think again , is this what we really wanted or not.. and until then let’s not contact eachother again. I am giving you time to think again. I can not lie what you said today has really hurt me. And I tried my best to not bring this up again , but you also once went on a blind date, and you asked me to forgive you for the thing that you know you did it intentionally. And I did forgive you. But , when the incident happen on me, unintentionally, you burst out like that. I can not lie, it scares me. It made me doubt again.” She mumbled slowly.I laughed in replied to her, I can tell that now dissapointment is written clearly in my face, “Bullshit! You are just putting words in to my mouth now.

Madalynne shook her head, “You do not trust me even a bit, did you?” she asked. “You are lying to me because of him, how should I react? And you still try to deny it.” Joseph replied back.“If you can not trust me on this then how would our married be like later? If on this small incident make you doubt me this much, then how are you going to make us work?” she asked back.I closed my eyes, as I tried my best to stand up and walked away from them. Clearly not wanting to hear any of their quarell anymore.**MadalynneI looked at Joseph in front of me, “If you can not trust me on this then how would our married be like later?

I shook my head a bit as I look around me. “where am I?” I asked myself, as a short of flashback hit my head about what happened last night. I slowly slapped my head. You are so dumb , Myles. Now , how are you going to face her after this whole drama you just made for yourself? I thought to myself.As I started to pick my things up, I heard a door was opened. I turned to see right behind me, there Madalynne is , “oh , you are finally awake.” She said as I saw there were a glass of milk , “Here drink the milk, heard that was ok for the hangover.” She said as she handed the milk to me. I took it and drank it slowly. She just stood there and looked at me. Once I finished, I looked at her and said, “I am so sorry for the drama I caused you last night.” I mumbled slowly as I bowed my head. “it was so childish of m

Or have you ever listened about something bad that people said about it?” I asked her.I shook my head, “I really not into the social media much, but I do not think that Madalynne

Not right now, at least.” I said.He shook his head, “this going to eat you alive, how long are you planning to keep it from her?” Sergio asked.I shook my head, “I know and I understand what do you meant. But I should take my time first before that. I will definitely tell her about this.” I said.

Look where he he came from, now you look where I came from..” I said.She sighed, “Jasmine, look.. that can not always stop you from live your life.” Lilibeth said. I shrugged my shoulder. Clearly do not want to discuss this anymore.***A week passed so fast that now I am getting ready for work again. In a week that I took day off, Lilibeth has always been by my side. Also last night Joseph called and told me that he will fetch me to work today, which is I agreed with.After lots of discussion with Lilibeth, I finally realized that I should live my life too at some points. My childhood trauma of how my dad and my mum ended up together can not haunt me forever. And I think maybe I should give Joseph a chance. Just as I
“Okay okay, I was wrong, Ok, I am so sorry. I did not mean any of that.” I said.
