Last Updated:
2022-04-01 11:02:19It was late in the afternoon when I decided to go back to the house. All day I enjoyed swimming and I never thought that I'd missed doing it so much.
It's been years since I had a time to swim for hours without worrying about my plans in life.It was as if I was back to the times when I was still living in our province. I remembered back then when I would kill time swimming in the river. It felt nostalgic.I put away all the trash in the sand and got my stuff and cellphone before I walked back to the house. The whole living room and kitchen were quiet as I entered. Maverick's familiar presence is gone.I dried myself first and wrapped a towel around my head before entering. I threw the trash in the trash can, put the cellphone on the table and washed the used utensils on the sink.I'm still contemplating on whether to knock on the room to take a shower or not when the door opened and Maverick went out holding an empty cup of coffee.

"This is really getting out of hand," I whispered to myself while staring down at the sleeping beauty snoring beside me. Femella in all her glory is splayed beneath the white sheets, her legs entangled on his thighs."Man, this is crazy," I softly speak to prevent her from waking up. My heart was debating whether to analyze the strange feeling or just let it be.This has been bugging me for the past days that we were together and was only cemented after our literal heated encounter last night. I scooted over and brushed the sides of her hair. "Femella Alcantara. Femella Alcantara." The way her name rolls in my tongue seems so good to my ears. I stared at the woman who was still sound asleep in my bed."Why.. Why do I feel like I've met you before? Why does it feel like I've known you for years? Your touch, your smell, even your presence felt too familiar."The woman moved and slowly opened her eyes. She seem

"Wow! Just wow! It's so pretty! This place looks unreal!" I exclaimed while admiring the breathtaking view.Before us is a very long breadth of immaculate turquoise water. The white sand was so fine that there was not even a trace of trash from where we were standing.Along the way are all sorts of trees that give a mysterious path to the water. White glitters are everywhere. The sun is kissing the white sand, its light seething into the cracks and folds of the leaves from the trees. I turned to Maverick who had just gotten out of the car. He laughed and pinched my cheek lightly then put his arm around me. He raised the sunglasses to his head and looked at me softly."You really love water, huh."My smile widened as I can't help myself from containing the excitement to soak my body in the inviting water. "Yeah, water is my first language. My mother used to tell me stories about how I love swimming when I was only two

It was already late at night and Femella had been asleep next to me but I was still awake.My mind kept going back to our conversation earlier."My parents are dead. I don't have a sibling and my relatives all lead fucked up lives so I know they can't take good care of me so I am practically alone forever. There, I already answered your question. Satisfied?""You're an only child?""No."It might have been a slip of her tongue or I just didn't hear her right. Maybe she's just bluffing because she remembered how she already told me about her having no siblings. And why did I even ask that question?Maybe because my dreams are coming back.Vague memories of the past went back to haunt me again as if them being constantly in my head every now and then is not enough. They harass me even at night. The memories are clearer now more than before.What's even shocking is the more I think about Femella, the cle

"Wait here, I'll go back in the house to get my cigarette.""Sure."I watched Maverick as he got up from sitting on the mat and walked back to the house. The man wasn't wearing anything on top. It's just his boxer shorts as usual."Tsk. The man's got a thick skin. He didn't feel any coldness."I returned my eyes back to the violent waves of the sea and drank from the can of wine I was holding. The moon is bright in the sky illuminating the white sand and blue ocean. You can also hear the strong gusts of wind around. I have no idea what Maverick has eaten again to invite me for night swimming. I guess he's not satisfied with all the swimming and forcing me to surf all day. I shook the can of beer I was holding and looked out to sea."Maybe he wants to make the most out of the place tonight. After all, it's our last night here in this magical place. It's our last night together."The strange sadness and re

"Are you okay?"Femella turned to me from staring out of the car. She looked so distracted. She smiled at me without the usual glow and fierceness in her eyes."Yeah, I'm okay. Don't worry."I returned my focus to the road. "Where will I drop you off? Will you go back to your apartment first?" I had noticed her strange silence earlier while we were at home and having breakfast. She is not responding to my questions which is making me worry. I tried to put on a conversation but she didn't seem to be buying it. She will just answer me with a small smile and a shrug. I wonder what went wrong.Did she change her mind? I gripped the steering wheel and squeezed my teeth at the thought.No way in hell I'm going to let her go. I've already decided to explore this new terrain I've discovered. This was the first time I felt this so I just had to do everything to keep Femella with me. I accelerated the speed

"A boy named Dave called me last night and leaked out your location. Care to tell me what's going on, princess?""Stop calling me that!" I hissed at Vida. "Then tell me what's this all about. Stop sulking in a corner acting as if you just broke up with your boyfriend. Oh wait!" She paused and inspected my face. "Shut up!" I wiped her hand from my face and looked out of the car. After landing the helicopter on a hangar, we boarded the waiting club car that would take me to my apartment."Gosh! Did you just fall in love with Maverick? Wow! I can't believe it! You have a horrible taste in men, Femella."I glanced at Vida."Okay, I'm gonna shut up. I have to consider your feelings, I know. It's not easy to nurse a broken heart.""Shut up." I gripped Maverick's jacket on my body. I silently cursed myself for being vulnerable in front of him. He shouldn't have witnessed that. "So? Who

I stopped the Tesla Model X car in front of one of my hotels and stepped out of it. I buttoned up my suit jacket and glanced at my security team who also exited their armored vehicles. I nodded to Jex who was their head and walked ahead.I passed through the revolving glass door and into the turnstile where I swiped up my identification card. Every employee stopped in their tracks to greet me. "Good day, sir."I just nodded at those who greeted me as I walked to the private elevator. Anita, out hotel manager greeted me and accompanied me. There wasn't any hint of weariness on her face considering it's a surprise inspection."How's the ongoing renovation of the 63rd floor?" I asked in a casual tone."Going well, sir. The interior designer you recommended is already on her finishing touches. The curated art pieces from Mindanao just arrived. They will be decorated according to the preference of the guests

My whole body was covered in dust and dirt and I was also sticky because of the sweat from a few hours of cleaning the whole apartment but I still went on scrubbing the sticky dried rice on the floor tiles. In my mind, I had already killed a few hundred times and shredded into pieces, the green-eyed monster named Dave. If it weren't for him, I would be at the spa now and enjoying Maverick's money spending of forty-nine million.But no. I'm here now almost scratching my face on the blackened white tiles. I can only imagine Dave's face as I leisurely brushed his face on the floor. When I was finished, I rested for a while while eating a watermelon. I glanced at the wall clock. It's past ten o'clock in the evening. I put my elbows on the kitchen table and ate the fruit while wiping my sweat. I want to take a bath right at this instant but I still need to rest for a few minutes.I looked over my place and smiled. It's back to its tidy and order for

I'm already bathing in my own sweat and my dress has been wet already but I don't care. All I want is to take out everything I ate this afternoon. I clung to the toilet bowl and for the last time vomited. I sat on the bathroom floor while clinging to the bowl.I cried in extreme frustration. Is it really this hard to be pregnant?I heard someone open the door and enter. I did not move. I just kept crying. Maverick sat down beside me and wiped my face with a towel. He also flushed all of my vomit down."Feeling better?" He rubbed my back.I nodded. "A little."He caressed my growing belly. “You guys are really torturing mommy. Behave children. Don't make it harder for mommy, okay? ”I glared at Maverick. He always talk to my stomach every day since we came from the doctor days ago. Maverick shouted with happiness upon hearing it. I was moved to tears by mixed emotions. I'm happy and at the same time scared about this new chapter of my life.I remembered being

I opened my eyes and looked around. Darkness immediately dawned on me and sadness immediately enveloped me. I moved to the other side of the bed in case Maverick was there. I touched a hot and hard flesh moaning. I heaved out a sigh of relief. So what happened earlier is all true. I’m not delusional or just dreaming. Maverick is really here by my side.I opened the lamp shade before crawling to lie back next to the sleeping man. I crouched under the blanket and propped my elbow on the pillow. I leaned my head on my palm and caressed Maverick's chest. He automatically squeezed my waist as he sank into my chest."Hmm," he muttered. He also put his leg on my thigh so I can't move any further from him. I pushed his lower torso away and adjusted my body so I don't get crushed by his immense weight. My bed is just enough for the two of us in terms of space but I just don't know if it won't give up especially if Maverick thinks of railing me again.I co

I followed Femella outside. She's wiping away her tears. I hugged her from behind and planted a kiss on her exposed shoulder. She shrugged me off but I did not attempt to leave."No one is playing tricks on you, sweetheart. What I told you is true."She sniffed. "You should go now, Maverick. We're done. We're done so why are you still here looking for me?"I held her to face me and touched her swollen eye."It's true that I respect your decision to leave me. So now, I'm going to ask you for a favor to respect me for my decision to come back for you. Let's stop torturing ourselves, shall we?"I led her to sit on the first rung of the stairs and took her hands."I don't like being indebted to anyone. It's bad for business. So I have to bring you back into my life so I don't owe anything to your weird friend."She looks at me with her puffy red eyes, red cheeks, and red nose that I can't help but dip a kiss

It's crazy to force yourself to forget the person who reminds you of everything you do. I would wake up in the morning on the other side of the bed thinking that Maverick was there and sound asleep.I would cook a meal then would just stare at the thin air while contemplating his absence. Before I knew it, I needed to make another breakfast because my food was already burning.I'll eat alone, sleep alone, and cry alone. I have experienced being alone for a long time but I was not as sad as I am now. I felt like I lost a part of myself and I can only be happy and content if I take it back.It's been over a month now but I'm not coping well. The loneliness I feel only gets worse.Adding to the emptiness I experience is living here in the place where Maverick and I first met. Everything in this place reminds me of him. When I go to the plaza and to the proper town, he is always the one I remember, especially when I choose to spend the whole day by th

"Anything," I answered right away.Her face became serious. "Take her away from her misery. Please. I hope you can do what I can't do. I thought that after completing her mission, she would let herself be happy but she still thinks she doesn't deserve to be loved." She looked me in the eyes. "Please save her, Fuentebella. Let her realize that she can never be happy without you, please. If you do that, you have paid off your debt." Something stirred inside me at the thought of Femella crying in her solitude. I nodded at Vida."I won't promise anything. Most of all, I'll still respect what she wants. Now, I want her location.""Sta. Barbara."I was momentarily surprised upon hearing that place. Sta. Barbara. Something familiar clicked inside me at the mention of the place."I'm positive you'll get her again. You must not forget that she chose to go back to the place where you two first met." She bent over to pick up the

"Why did you come back? Man, you should have stayed there forever in your cave. It was so much fun here when you were gone."I threw a crumpled paper at Luther, who was sitting on the edge of the desk and tampering with the stacked papers."You're just happy because you're free to flirt with my secretary. I heard from Ivan that you're starting your dark plan. I'm warning you, man. Leave Christine alone. She's like my sister. Don't line her up with your women. "I signed the finalized design for the capsule hotel that Luther and I would be building."Woah! You're really a different person now, man. You seem to be a saint now. Looks like Femella did something good to you other than break your heart."My hand stopped on its own at the mention of the woman's name. Our separation still hurts me until now. I sighed and diverted the conversation."It looks like we're going to have a problem with the acquisition of some properties. A few

"Femella, are you really sure with your decision? Maybe we can change it? Is there nothing to lose?" the surprised Chino asked when he heard what I told Vida that I was leaving this afternoon. He had just come out of the toilet and was in the midst of washing his hands. There were still residues of foam in his hand."I'm sure about it, Chino. My time has come to retire. You're alone again to fantasize about yummy abs at the club." I regretted saying it then looked at Vida who was sitting on the floor like me.I called them to say goodbye properly. Chino was also in his apartment so I told him to stay here. I want to personally say goodbye to the man who made my time at La Vida fun and tolerable.I had already packed up my bags ready to leave. My suitcases are already in the trunk of my old car. I really just went here to say goodbye."Or maybe Adam's descendants won't even look at me anymore. We know they're just trying to pay

I looked up from the papers I'm reading when I heard a knock on the door. I saw Christine reluctantly standing in the doorway. I didn't even realize she's been there the whole time."What is it Christine?" I said before immediately returning the focus to what I was doing."Ahm sir, can I go home now? I already asked for your permission earlier so that I'll be out by nine."I glanced at the watch. I didn’t even notice the passage of time."Go ahead. Just make sure to submit first thing in the morning, the minutes of the meeting with Mr. Kazuki." I picked up the mug of coffee while I'm still busy reading but I put it down when I realized it's empty. I was about to get up to make another cup but Christine immediately approached me and took the mug."I'll do it sir."I just nodded.She laid the steaming coffee on the table minutes after."Thank you," I said after taking a sip. "You may go.""Ahm s

"Femella ..."I bit my lip and closed my eyes when I heard the baritone voice behind me. I want to stand up and greet him with an eager hug. I also endured a week of not seeing him or hearing his voice. I've been dying to see him and be close to him like what we used to be but everything's changed now. The one he truly loves is back so I have no more space in their lives.I slowly stood in front of Maverick whose face was now full of longing."Fuentebella, I'm glad you're here. You may take a seat."His face got confused with the tone I used. I uttered the words so coldly and without any emotion like we did not know each other.It was hard for him to sit in the chair and just stare at me. I went back to sitting and took the wine glass and brought it to my mouth. The alcohol helped a little to calm the nerves in my body.I carefully set the glass down on the table and looked around the elegant restaur
