Porter asked Janine when he noticed that she's not talking much. It's not like she's talkative and all but she's abnormally quiet. She doesn't even answer Porter’s questions and just kept eating.
Porter became worried. If this was about Czarina, he couldn't forgive himself.
What in the world is she doing here anyway? She should've just stayed to where she is.
Janine just nodded and continued eating her steak, without uttering a single word.
"Please, Baby, talk to me." He pleaded.
"I'm not your baby." She curtly replied.
Porter sighed. What the hell is wrong with Janine? It's good if she's jealous but she doesn't have to act like this.
"Janine," he started. "If you're jealous, you could just—”
"I'm not jealous. Why do I have to be jealous? I don't have the right to be jealous. Not even a teensy bit of jealousy." She remarked and Porter was taken aback.
So, she is jealous. Or may

So, that explains why Johann hasn’t contacted her for two days already.“Are you okay?” Yasmin asked her as she sat on her desk.Yasmin’s voice was a bit loud so everyone looked their way.

She blinked thrice before she realized what had happened the night before.They made love.She gulped as she looked at Johann who’s smiling widely. “Good morning?” She spoke awkwardly.

This isn’t the first time that she woke up with Johann beside her but she felt really uncomfortable.Johann chuckled and kissed the top of her nose. “Good morning, Baby love.” He whispered softly. “I love you.”Janine smiled at him but the truth is, her heart suffocating. She isn’t feeling any good for this. She isn’t feeling good at all.Johann didn’t even notice that she hasn’t replied to his I love you because he is so into missing her. He is missing her.

This girl isn’t ordinary. She will never be ordinary.Her thoughts and feelings would always be a mystery to Porter. Sure he knows that she likes him but to what extent? He didn’t know. Damn, he wanted her to tell him directly. He wanted to hear it from her even though he’s contented of just being the second.He was true to his words when he said he will not be jealous.

Johann smiled at Porter and even offered them to sit with them. “Nice to meet you too, cousin.” He beamed a little more sincerer than how Porter sounded and Janine could sense a very tensed atmosphere.Porter sat in front of Johann and a little to the side of Janine in this round table. She could sense that Porter isn’t amenable to this surprise dinner but she couldn’t do anything about it.What can she do if he’s boyfriend is just too generous to offer their table with them?She looked at Czarina and smiled weakly.Czarina is not actually a bad woman, to be honest. Taking out her clingy side, she’s actually a decent woman. She’s not nosy or what. She has a good family background. She is pretty and elegant at the same time. She’s perfect. Almost.“I didn’t know you have got a new girlfriend, cousin.” Porter started to speak but anyone who could hear him would notice the sarc

Or else, she would have told her to break up with Johann right here right now.Sure, Henney was all for her happiness but she’s not amenable to cheating. She won’t side with Janine on this. Not when Janine holds her fate on this relationship.“I love you.” Porter whispered making Janine ticklish. He chuckled. “And I’ll love you even more.” He added making Janine chuckle.She gave him a look as she tried her hardest to impose a poker face.“What?” Porter asked but was smiling from ear-to-ear and seeing that makes Janine smile as well.

Porter and Janine stared at each other. Janine felt like her whole world is going down the drain the moment she heard what Serge said.It’s the end. It’s going to end now.That was all she could think of. Although she knows that Porter isn’t going to raise the white flag, she’s still so scared that she’d lose him now. Hell, she couldn’t lose him now or she’s going to die.Porter laced his fingers with hers and stood up. “Come on. Let’s face them.” He told her calmly. There was no trace of anxiety in his voice.Janine stared at him. “Porter, what if they disapprove our relationship?” It was not a new question and L has answered and assured her a thousand times that she’ll always be his choice.

“What would your parents think of me? Of us?” Janine asked Porter as they were watching movies on the living room of his condominium unit.She loves Porter so much and she knows that it would be hard for them to be approved by their parents. Her parents know that she’s with Johann. And Johann is Porter’s cousin. What would they think of her? She’s worried of everything others would think of her, of Porter.Porter looked at her with a raised brow. “They don’t matter at all, Janine. I don’t like them meddling with my personal life anyway.” He replied as he planted a kiss on her ear. “If they won’t approve us, then we won’t insist.
