When I got off the tricycle, I gave the charge and thanked the driver. When the tric left, the familiar vehicle arrived just in time, so I gasped. Why is this one so weird?

I folded my arms and waited for him to get out of his car. "Why didn't you wait for me?" The anger was obvious in his voice so I raised an eyebrow and secretly rejoiced.

"Why should I wait for you?" I asked.

Seeing him frustrated and looks so betrayed like this makes me wonder if was he ever turned down before? He seems out of it.

He did not answer. Instead, he took a few steps between us and I was surprised when he carefully pushed me against the door of my apartment.

"What—"

"Shut up." He remarked hard while looking at me heavily.

I could feel the warmth of his big hand on my stomach because that's what he used to push me. One of his hands rested on the door behind me.

I am a woman with solid principles. In this situation, I should be fighting. I should be fighting for my personal space, for fuck's sake he's hold

    "Just admit it already, you're dating Loren, aren't you?"I averted my gaze and grabbed popcorn from the bowl placed on Yana’s coffee table. I finished my class earlier. I am here now in her unit and Loren is there in his own unit next door.I said that I was only here because Yana would fix me, and Loren agreed because he said he wanted to see me while fixing.Yana didn't agree because she said she wanted it to be a surprise. As if there were more surprises for me. Loren didn't say anything because this is Yana's unit and she doesn't like to argue either — not like us law students."No way." my answered.She narrowed her eyes at me and slapped me on the shoulder so I was shocked and accidentally threw away the popcorn I was holding. "Heck," I complained as I picked them up from the floor."Ten how would you explain that intense connection whenever you stare at each other ?! And then he trashtalked the woman so badly, ha! The look on that bitch's face! HAHAHAHA!"I just shook my head

    "You're drinking too much," I turned to Loren who had been watching me since earlier. We were still sitting in our seat for the past half hour."Oh, am I?" I was asked because I didn't notice that I was drinking a lot. This is just wine, though. It's delicious and I've only just tasted it now so I can't help it.He just nodded and lowered the wine glass I was holding on the table. He took my hand and intertwined our fingers. I looked down there. I felt electricity flow quickly from there to my body. It was as if I was suddenly burned out and became anxious.I looked up at his face and frowned so that I would not be obviously affected by him. I don't know what's happening. Why am I feeling this way? I’m not stupid, but I don’t want to accept thet idea, okay. I do not want it.We stared at each other for quite some time. We did not speak. His serious eyes looked straight at me as I distracted myself with the taste of the wine earlier left on my tongue. I gulped for a couple of times bef

Otherwise, read at your own risk.**It was twelve o'clock when we arrived at Rockwell. We got out of the car and went straight to the elevator in the parking lot.The moment we got out of the car, he has never let go of my hand. Sometimes he tighten up and he doesn’t let me get away. As if I'm going to run away, there's no turning back, right?We entered the Elevator and as soon as the door closed, he leaned me into the corner and quickly kissed me.I clung tightly on his shoulder and closed my eyes tightly, I promised myself that I would not be like the women he kissed and touched anywhere, but here I am now and hungry responding to his kisses!"P-press the button first—""Sshh," he covered my lips again.So what, we're not going to go up to his unit ?! I pushed him slightly and he backed away. He still looks drunk when he stared

    "Delete that!" I threw a pillow at Loren because he didn't want to erase that picture he took earlier while I was asleep.It was a photo of my back, as in full back, I was lying on the bed and without a blanket, naked. It shows my ass!He propped up the pillow and returned to the bed while hiding his cellphone. "I shouldn't have shown you this," he whispered to himself."What did you say ?! You just took a photo of me without my consent! Let alone I was naked—"I was shut with his sudden move. I found myself stunned in shock and parting my lips while looking at his glory. The flirtatious, suddenly undressed in front of me!"Loren!" I quickly closed my eyes and reached for a pillow to throw at him. I am now sitting on his bed and I have just finished breakfast. I was getting dressed earlier when he showed me my picture."C'mon, you can take a picture of me too. You have my consent, just to be fair."I removed my hands and looked at him wickedly. I even forced my eyes not to look down a

    "W-wait, have you guys met before?" I asked breaking the silence and their opposing glances.Instead of answering I was surprised when Loren grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him. Cole frowned and looked at Loren even worse."Celine, we'll talk." that’s all Loren said before he pulled me out of my own apartment. I quickly turned to Cole and gave him an apologetic look. I want to apologize to him but I couldn't talk.He just stared at Loren's hand holding mine until we got out. I frowned at Loren and withdrawed my hand."What's that? What you're so rude to my guest!" I spat on him. Now his glaring eyes are focused on me and if I wasn't just irritated with him, my knees would have given in to weakness earlier."Guest? Why is he wearing no clothes? Do you know him?" He asked sarcastically."Oh, probably! Cole is like my brother and he will stay here—""What the fuck?!""Watch your mouth!" I spat because his voice rose a little and the old woman passing by looked at us."Why is tha

    I quickly pulled out when it was a few minutes before twelve. I was exhausted while dressing in the locker room when Annie came in frowning and obviously surprised to see me.I ignored her and continued dressing. She approached the locker next to mine because it's hers. She slowly opened it and changed as well. When I finished, I closed my locker and slung my bag over my shoulder."You said .. you're just friends?" I lazily stopped walking and slowly looked at her with tired eyes. Word spread that Loren had a girlfriend, and he did not deny that it was me.I never thought of being mad at her for just simply liking Loren, but please not tonight. I'm tired physically and mentally, I don't want any more headaches."Not anymore." I just said and turned my back on her.Yes, I also feel guilty because I lied to her before, I should not be angry now because she knows nothing else about what is really going on. But I couldn't help but be annoyed because it was a very small thing that she alwa

    "You'll always be careful here." I instructed Yana as we exited her unit. It's already 5am in the morning, and I'm ready for Cole and I to leave back to Nueva Ecija."Yeah, yeah, be careful too .. you haven't introduced me to your childhood friend yet, ah." She says.Of course, I've been busy at school for the past few days — well I've always been busy, but I need to double my studies especially since my GWA is important in applying as an underbar paralegal at Manila and Associates Law Firm .Because of that, I never met Yana for our sessions. Her performance at school is also okay and I don't think it makes such a big difference if I can't teach her for at least two weeks. When I went home to her unit, I'm already sleepy so I didn't introduce Cole to him."Next time," I said and we finally got out of her unit. She was still wearing her silk pajamas suit and she didn't bother to wash before taking me here outside her door."Hmm, all right ..." she answered obviously sleepily.We looke

    Me:I can't go home yet, there's an emergency here. How are you?I waited for his reply. I was supposed to be back early in the morning, but since Gino is sick, I chose to miss class first. Today is Tuesday, November 3. He is for sure busy so I wasn't surprised when a few hours later, there was still no reply.He wasn't able to text or call last night and yesterday. I'm not angry, in fact I'm worried because when I last saw him he wasn't really well.He seems to be neglecting himself and he is too focused on studying that he never did before.I sighed and just left my cellphone at home. I just came home here to get Gino and mama's clothes. Gino was admitted to a public hospital, but when chest x-rays and blood tests were performed and the doctor confirmed that Gino did have Pneumonia, we decided to transfer him to a private hospital today. I will use the rest of my money from my last salary that I should pay for the apartment for this month.Because Gino can't stay long in that public

Keep safe and always remember to put a happy ending in your daily lives.Sincerely,Joji—————6 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDINGOh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God!"Mommy! Mommy! Look, daddy's so fast! He's gonna win!" I heard Cohen's excited voice as I shut my eyes hardly. Praying that this would end, that he'd be safe.I've always wanted to watch him compete on the track, but seeing him run his Lamborghini like a flash makes my soul almost want to come out of my body! My knees were shaking as I heard the sound of tires scrambling and people shouting his name."GO ACER !!""SHIT ACER GO FASTER !!! PLEASE FASTER!! FASTER !!""OH MY GOD, THAT'S AWESOME !!!

    I automatically lost my focus when I noticed someone from the other table staring at me.From my peripheral vision, I caught her examining my uniform and her mysteriously evident brown eyes darted on my face right after.I'm not usually intimidated with this kind of stares, may it be intentionally or not. But there's just something in her eyes that bothers me as time passes by. I couldn't contain it, I feel so uneasy.I blinked as I force myself to focus on my book, but seconds later, I found myself spacing out while blankly looking at the certain page — absolutely not absorbing anything. With that, I heaved a sigh and decided to close my book and stood up.She's now busy on her laptop. With creased forehead and emphatic closed lips, she got my attention. I quickly wrote a flirting note in a peace of a fucking paper because I don't know what the fuck has gotten into my head. I walked towards her table and shamelessly made my move."Excuse me,""Jesus!" she was obviously startled and t

    "This is attorney Felasco, your former professor from Diliman."I blinked and couldn't believe I could talk to him again today."O-oh! Attorney, Oh my god, how are you?" I asked. I went into the room and went to bed."I'm fine .. I'm fine, how about you? I heard your son was shot?" He asked.I nodded, "I'm fine too, Attorney. And yes, but he's recovering now.""Good to hear that, ahm .. I called because I wanted to hand you some things."I frowned and slowly sat down in my bed. "What .. what do you mean?" I asked.He was silent for a moment and I even heard his sigh before answering. "I heard that congressman Lavarias was arrested for plunder and murder .. I have the pieces of evidence for his plunder case."My eyes widened and my chest heaved with excitement. He .. have the evidences? The one I was looking for? But why? Only daddy knows where that is! Unless he stole it from him? But does he know my dad?"I-I don't understand, Attorney, why do you have those?" I asked."Because I was

    I finished my job here at the firm early so I thought I'll just fetch Cohen. I grabbed my handbag and said goodbye to Raegan."Hmm." he just nodded like a boss and I just let him. I'm used to his attitude like that.When I arrived at the Therapy Center, Cohen's session was about to end so I just waited outside with some parents."Hi, are you going to pick up Doc's son?"I turned to the woman older than me. She was wearing a long sleeve dress and was quite large in body. Her make up is also thick and her eyebrows are high."Yes." my answer. Maybe Loren is the only doctor with a child here."Oh, so I was right! that's Doc Iran's son! Why did she deny it?" She said frowning at me. I faced her and stared."What?" I could no longer contain the irritation in my voice.She was stunned and forced a smile, "Doc Iran, isn't it? Doc Loren and Iran are the parents of that handsome new boy." She even said that it was like telling me something I didn't know.I couldn’t believe so I looked at her fr

    "I'm sorry, I was with my family .. yes, yes, you can just update me about the conference tomorrow .. yes, thankyou. Good night, Iran."I averted my eyes and spontaneously tightened my grip on the towel resting on me. Loren dropped the call and went to the drawer on his bed side table and inserted his cellphone there.His eyes came to me again so I stared at him. "Just get out and I'll take a shower." I said. My hair is already wet so the bed and pillow are definitely wet because I slept.He just shrugged and threw his hair back in a swift motion. Damn that. He sat down next to me to my surprise."Let me see,"My forehead furrowed."What the hell? Get out!" I spat. What the fuck is he talking about there ?! What does he think, we're back to normal ?!"Let me see, Celine. It might hurt for longer if I won't check it.""Oh no, I said I'm fine. And I'll take a shower— Fucking shit! Loren!" My eyes widened when he suddenly pulled the towel from my body.My naked body was exposed to him, e

    "Good evening, sir .." I tried to maintain my posture but because of the nerve I'm feeling right now, I just couldn't.Loren's father smiled and glanced at me gently, "Celine .. you can call me dad now, we've met before." He remarked and opened his arms, encouraging me to hug him.I was surprised with the sudden gesture, but I couldn't be more glad that he actually acknowledges me until now. I smiled and hugged him before he looked down at my son who's tugging at the edge of my dress."My grandson,"He smiled wider and crouched a bit to reach Cohen, "Such a handsome kid .. your parents did really good, huh."I almost choked on my own saliva when I heard that and was accompanied by the old man's laughter. I looked at Loren behind Cohen who was just smiling and looking at his father. When he noticed that I was looking, he also turned to me and raised an eyebrow.I quickly averted my gaze and distracted myself by looking around. When dinner was ready, Lea and Sage arrived."You're late,"

    "I-It's my father .." I whispered to myself, I looked up at Raegan who was just watching me seriously."It's papa," I told him.He just raised an eyebrow at me as if letting me to patch everything up. My hands trembled as I remembered what had happened before."This is the ... last case that papa handled."Raegan nodded as he folded his arms. "Late prosecutor Galvez was shot in the chest 20 years ago, right before the preliminary trial of the plunder case filed against congressman Lavarias. When the prosecutor in charge was replaced, the final trial did not take place because congressman Lavarias' name was cleared and also- the new prosecutor drops all charges against him. "My lips parted and my vision seemed to blur with the sudden formation of tears in my eyes. I didn’t expect I would know it all in one fell swoop. I am shocked by what I see, I am afraid of what I hear, and my anger overflows for no apparent reason."Tell me, attorney, has the killer of your father been caught?" He

    I was stunned when I entered Cohen's room. The walls are blue and the ceiling is white. The floor is made of fine and high quality wood so I’m not afraid of Cohen’s feet getting cold every time he walks especially in the morning.There is big aircon, and big windows, but no balcony. It also has its own bathroom and wait, walk in closet? Really? Cohen doesn't seem to need it— and fuck, a built in playroom inside his room ?! This is too much!I went back to her bed and adjusted the comforter because Loren and I were definitely coming, and I wasn't wrong. The door opened and Loren entered carrying her sleeping younger version.Cohen slept in his arms. Probably tired of playing. They bonded with their father all day because Loren did not go to the hospital today. It's just that Iran occasionally calls him for reasons I don't know.By the way, isn't she his girlfriend? Did he tell him that he has a child? Didn’t they fight? Seriously, is she that understanding?I leaned over the bed so he

    "Just put it there."Kyo nodded and carried some boxes of Cohen and I's belongings. He inserted it into the trunk of my SUV without speaking.Cohen was there inside and resting because he had just finished his session today at the therapy center. I still kept him going there because he needed it to be completely and immediately healed. Their nutritionist promised that such a mistake would not be repeated and we also arranged with therapists there.After Cohen's two days in a private hospital, his condition is improving so last week we went home again. Loren gave us a week before finally moving into her house here in the Royal Village as well. That's right Yana, she has a house here.He said he would renovate a room for Cohen and clean the whole house so we could only move there now.For the past week it has been every day if Loren has visited here. He was the one who almost drove Cohen to the Therapy Center because that was also where he was going. I would wake up early to prepare Coh
