“Wow this is pretty! Thank you, Aries!” My sister giggled happily as she stares at the different colors of acrylic paints and canvas scattered on her bed that Aries bought for her weeks ago when he had a business trip to Japan.
It’s been three days since my sister was finally out of the Intensive Care Unit. Aries also decided to have a private room since our spot was taken last week in our old room.
I felt bad, I’m going to miss those ladies from the room who kept my little sister company when Caleb and I are both busy because of our jobs. He also assigned some maids back at home to take care of my sister while I’m away and working. I can’t just let Caleb take care of my sister every time because he has his own life and a job.
Good thing the maids are very trustworthy, they were one of the maids who I keep talking with whenever I’m bored in the h
“Hey! Mrs. Higgins! ” Lea called my attention. I shook my head and looked at the melted chocolate. I quickly removed it and set it aside first to mix the egg and sugar.I felt Lea come up to me and slap me on the ass. “What now? You just came back from your long vacation and now your mind is wandering somewhere else," she said and laughed.“I was just thinking of something,” I whispered while carrying the egg in the mixer. To this day, what Aries said earlier still lingers in my mind.Is he serious about what he is saying?She teasingly poked my sides. “Sheesh, if I know you and Mr. Higgins did some lovin in those two weeks.” She let out a laugh. I turned to her as my eyes widened in embarrassment.“Crazy! We are always in the hospital! And why are you here at my station? ”&ldq
“Nola, for the last time, can you please stop singing?” I frowned at Aristotle who was driving. “You're ruining my eardrums!” He added.“Oh wow!” I scoffed. “So you're telling me that my voice is ugly?” He nodded.I slapped him on the shoulder. Wow! For his fucking information, I was a vocalist in the band when I was in high school! I used to participate in singing competition during our town fiesta and I even won numerous times!Only the deaf will say that my voice is ugly.“I'm deeply embarrassed Aristotle Napoleon,” I said sarcastically. “Let me hear you sing then! You always make fun of me!” I yelled.Today is already Saturday, he picked me up at the restaurant earlier and since Tuesday this man has always been playing some stupid pranks on me. Just plain stupid.
“Emilliana, don't put the tomatoes!” I shouted, but it was too late for her, she already put the tomato in the pan. I face-palmed and approached her. “Am I doing something wrong?” I saw her hand holding a spoon tremble. “I'm sorry,” she said and bowed."Hey..." I mumbled. I sighed. “Look at me,” I said, and she looked up.“Onions should be your priority when you're sautéing,” I said calmly to her as I showed her how to sauté.“You're wrong Nola,” Keegan said, causing us to turn to him. He was still sitting with the four whose chins are rested on their hands.“Onion is not the priority,” he said while staring at us seriously. Emilliana and I blinked
“Since I can't get to our meeting personally, I would settle for this for the mean time.” Aries said in front of his laptop. My sister and I looked at each other who was now lying on the bed and shrugged our shoulders at the same time.My sister's therapy was just finished earlier before lunch and this idiot right here, has not left yet. He canceled their board meeting this morning, but the board appealed to him. So here he is now, facing his laptop. Wearing polo and coat while wearing pajamas at the bottom.He just looks ridiculous.“Can you tell us why you can't attend the meeting personally, Mr. Higgins,” I heard from his laptop.He cleared his throat and then looked at me for a moment with his soft eyes. “My wife needs me right now,” he answered.
"Aries, Caleb, and I will just go shopping," I said goodbye to my husband who's too focused on his laptop. He's too focused! It's Sunday, so Caleb and I are both free. He looked up and stared at me for a moment. "Do you have money?" he asked. I paused and think, do I have money? "I guess... we just got paid last Friday," I answered him. He shook his head at what I said. Later, he grabbed something behind his back and saw that it was his wallet. "Here, save your money. Use mine instead. " He handed me his black card. I stared at him in disbelief. "Eh? Is this legit? " I said as I walked closer to his desk. He nodded. "It's my black card. It is limitless, buy anything you want," he said nonchalantly. This man is filthy rich, he looks like he won't run out of money even if I buy a who
"What are you still there, Aristotle Napoleon? You've been inside for ages!" I shouted at him from our bed."Wait! I'm still packing up! " he replied inside his closet.I sighed exasperatedly. It turns out that this man hasn't packed yet. He was the one who's ordering me to pack my clothes yesterday, yet he hasn't done anything yet.It is already noon, and we will be leaving the country in the afternoon. I'm already dressed up. I'm wearing Caleb's chosen clothes for me, and I paired your GG Marmont sandals.I often use these sandals now.It's just nice, and comfortable."Hey! Don't tell me you are sleeping inside? The plane will leave us! " I shouted again. This man is just a slow-mover! I'm already excited to swim in the Maldives, maybe I get the chance to talk to the Little Mermaid there!"Can you please be p
It was already afternoon when we decided to go out of our villa to buy groceries on the main island. I have decided that I'll be the one who'll cook during our stay here, because what's the use of his Chef wife?Even though I only bake cakes or make desserts at work, I am capable of cooking various types of dishes.We rode a speed boat to get to the main island and walked to go to the market. As we were walking, I realized that this island is not just a resort, it is also a home for some locals here. Aries said earlier that most of the residents here work for them and others had set up businesses like selling souvenirs and delicacies here.Some restaurants are owned by his family.It's nice here. The surroundings are clean and are taken care of. You can't see a speck of single dirt on
"Woah! Aries, come here! Quick!" I shouted at Aries who's chilling at the sun lounger, drinking coffee while reading a newspaper. I rolled my eyes.He's even wearing sunglasses. What the hell.It's 15 minutes before 8 o'clock that's why I'm here at the sea swimming.He brought the cup and the newspaper to the table beside him. He turned his head to me, showing his usual blank face. "What now, Nola Florentina? Can't you see I'm reading?"I rolled my eyes for the second time because of what he said. This man just really loves reading huh. This is our honeymoon for God's sak
