While they were cooking dinner, the others went to swim at the beach. Later on everybody returned and took a shower before settling outside. It was already night, a bonfire was in the middle as they sat in a circle, there were even chairs for them to sit on. Drinks were brought out along with some snacks and the dinner which the two of them cooked. It was Aileen's idea to eat dinner by the bonfire tonight, with teamwork they finally settled the environment just like how she imagined it. They sat chatting about different things, Tiffany sharing a place with his boyfriend while Aileen sat across from them, seeing every single thing they were doing, she would force herself not to look at times but then her eyes were watching anyway. Then everybody got up and went to serve themselves dinner. There were two men who were there to clean the house whenever they retired from any of their activities. With their help Aileen was able to set a buffet and the whole bonfire thing for the night afte
Aileen's POV The next day the two of us had to wake up early and prepare breakfast. Actually I was the one who woke up first and went to knock on his door so that we could start serving their punishment. Seems like, just like me he too has decided to forget about the issue, he helped me make sandwiches and toasts silently and then we made tea as well before setting everything on the table. I can't believe we both have become servants now for all these people who were still sleeping their a** in their rooms. He was the source of all of this! He was!. However, I was grateful that he didn't pick any tricks or his shameless acts today. It was simply peaceful. I wish for everyday to be like today with him in the kitchen. We all ate breakfast, I noticed the tension between the two of them. Did they have another fight? I asked myself and then brushed off the thoughts, it was none of my damn business even if they kill each other. Later on we decided to go to swim, Alan took his girlfriend
Alan's POV I can't tell exactly what came over me last night, but I can guess that it was my jealousy that drove me to kiss her, even if it was only on the corner of her lips. The joy that I got just from that simple act was so great, I can't explain. And the craziest part was that I was doing things without a care, it's like something inside of me was pushing me to do it, I wasn't even afraid that anybody could come and see us like that. Or then the possibility of what could happen if Tiffany saw us. At this rate I can't even tell if I had any fear left inside of me, I was becoming even more unbothered by the day.Rafael was only looking out for me and Aileen, I know that but then I can't help it! Whenever I'm together with her, I can't help it, everything that happens on their own and I can't control them. I even forgot that I had promised Tiffany to go back to her. I hate what was happening for real, I wanted to have control of myself again but it's impossible with Aileen in my li
Alan laid her down, not even knowing what to do. He shook her body but she wasn't moving at all. "No!" Jemima started to cry, "Is she dead?" Asked one of the employees, they were all worried and shocked. "Shut the fuck up! Nobody is dead! She is not dead! She can't leave me!" Alan shouted scaring the poor lady, he was shedding tears but thankfully his tears were mixed with the water dripping from his hair so nobody really knew that he was crying. He checked her breathing and her heart, they were both gone, quite like she was dead. Without a second thought, he cleared his airways and gave her a mouth to mouth resuscitation, he pressed his mouth against hers and began to blow air into her lungs, with hope she would wake up but she didn't. He pressed on her chest with both of his hands and then joined their mouths blowing air into her again and again. "Please! Please come back!" He continued pressing her chest with all his might, the rest of the people were praying for her. Tiffany was
Since Aileen had an accident, Jemima thought of covering for her for the lunch and dinner today. She cooked with the boss instead and behold, she wished she was all alone in the kitchen because the man was way too worse than a mannequin. Not talking and just responding to what she was asking only. How did Aileen keep up with him for the whole past day because she can't deal with him. She is used to talk too much like a chatters box but then she had to seal her lips because she feared annoying him with her big mouth. Today was the last day of their stay on this vacation, they came on Saturday and they would be leaving on Sunday night so they could wake up to work on Monday, their boss doesn't play when it comes to work. Together they made lunch for everyone, she was asked by him to bring her food to her room, she was going to do that even if he hasn't asked her, this only added to her suspicions for he was caring too much for her.Later on, Aileen was talking to her family over a video
Alan's POV I don't know why was this happening but one thing for sure, she was doing something to my body with her warm mouth. The way it wrapped around my index finger was just so enticing, my dirty mind started to wonder how it was going to feel if the same mouth was wrapping me somewhere else. I was losing my senses with each suck that she made, the pull making me forgetting the slight pain on the cut, all I felt was the pleasure of being sucked on my finger, by her.I was then dragged to the sink, she turned the water tape and washed my hand, this whole time I just looked at her like a fool."You and your stupid pride! Are you planning to cripple your hand?" She scolded with teary eyes. I couldn't even say a thing, words have failed me before they could form on my mouth. It was just a mere cut for heaven sake! One thing was however very confusing to me. Why was she angry? Why does she look like she was about to cry? Why? When I was the one who got hurt. "Wait here, I'll get the f
Rafael was surprised when he received a call from his boss about the sudden changes, they were having a dinner outing? Wasn't he the one who said he was going to cook dinner with Jemima as usual since Aileen was sick? What changed? He thought but wasted no time and made some few calls, asking for reservation at any good restaurant available. After a few minutes he was able to get one, the reservation was made late so they got one with so much difficulty. He then went to inform the rest of the people about the dinner plans so they could prepare before the time comes, their boss hates delays. Later on, everybody was already outside, stepping in the hired van that had brought them here from the airport. Alan was the last to come out, his eyes searching around for that one person who always gets into his nerves, but she was not in the van. "Jemima," he called with a frown, Jemima had to get out of the van quickly and came to stand before him "Is there any problem sir?" She asked. Alan
After dinner they all got ready to go back to the house, some still wanted to go and pack their things for tomorrow, they would be leaving tomorrow. While everyone had already gotten into a van and Tiffany in his car, Alan and Rafael were still inside the hotel. Alan had asked for a takeaway of food for someone, when the bag of food came he handed it to Rafael. "You know what to do" he said and started to walk off, "Oh nobody knows better. What I don't understand is why the hell are you doing this?" His boss was quite confusing, he would say one thing and then do a totally different thing. "Just do as you are asked to" he deadpanned and got into the car, Rafael shook his head and got into the car as well before they drive away from the hotel. The ride back home was silence and Alan was glad for it. Suddenly Rafael received a phone call, "Hello" he uttered, placing the food bag down. The person over the phone spoke while he listened patiently "What do you mean by that?" He asked wit
That day, the two went to pick up the boy only to find out that he was already picked up by his aunt. Shocked, they started to make a few calls only to find out that it was no other but Rue. She picked the boy and took her to Aileen’s house already, left with no choice Alan gave her a ride there. They found her very engrossed in a conversation with Sharon that it left them wondering what they were talking about by the convenient store. Alan stopped the car and made a honk to call for them. Not too shocked they both got in his car, heading to the house. The little boy was happy to see his parents again. “I want you to inform me next time if you are planning to take my son anywhere, Rue. People are messy out there, you can't keep us worried all the time” complained Alan after seeing off the family. “Shut it already, he is my nephew. Stop overreacting, dad!” she brushed him off. “I fucking mean it Rue. And what the hell were you talking to Sharon about? You know that I don't trust you, d
“Will you calm down first, little brother?. It wasn't me who made this decision, it was our dear father and mother, you should lash out at them and not me, do you get it?” siad Rue, she wasn't going to tell him what the whole family was up to, never. He should just sit back and let them take care of his future now because he seemed too confused to even date someone like Tiffany. “Not even you Rue, please! He is my son, don't you understand? Do you people know how much danger you have gotten my son and his mother into? Do you know how many enemies I've made out there?” He was very angry that he wasn't informed about the matter that concerned his own son's life. He should've been informed about it, he would've made preparations about it. There was media to deal with, there were the board members to inform and secure the formalities about their relationship to them and there is a damn society who are always ready to pick and judge things even without knowing anything about it. With the
“Here, he sent me this text this evening. Read it” he lost the phone to her parents and then they passed it over to Neil and Kylie. “Oh my god, that poor boy,” said their mother. “Right. How could I respond when my six years old nephew asks me such a question? I was speechless and didn't even know how to explain things to that smart little guy. Thus why this meeting is important” explained Rue.“He literally asked why his parents aren't living together like the rest of the children at school. He probably talked to classmates about their families and was very disturbed to realize that his parents are the only ones who aren't living together. This isn't good for his poor little mind” she added. “He is just a young boy who deserves more than to be raised by both of them.” she promised to get to the bottom of this, it really disturbed her when the boy told her about it.“So what do you suggest we do?” Asked Neil. “There is only one way, we have to get them back together so that they can
Leelan was happy to have his daddy over, they played a little before taking him to sleep, the two of them did. When he came out he spotted Sharon with two cups of coffee “Here, it's been a while, have a seat” she said. Aileen was still tucking her son well and making sure he didn't wake up because he couldn't feel her warmth. Alan sat down, gripping the cup, not even knowing how to look at her. “How is everything? I am sorry for your loss” He asked. “Thank you, things are going well. How is your family doing?” Sharon noticed how uncomfortable the man was. “They are doing well, they send their condolences actually” he answered. Sharon got up “Come here” she said. Alan was dumbfounded but he too stood up. Sharon hugged him, “I am sorry for everything that has happened to you my dear,” awestruck by what just happened, the man stood still, letting the woman embrace him. His eyebrows knitted together, it took all in him not to shatter right there and cry like a baby. He never knew that th
Aileen glared at him, she then scoffed “Why do you care who I talk to?” She asked. “I want to know,” he demanded. “And who the hell are you to say that? Wait a minute, are you jealous?” She was surprised, getting angry little by little at their current conversation. “I asked who were you texting, Aileen?” He somehow wanted to know at all cost, even if it was not his place to know. “Wow! This is very funny now.” Aileen shook her head with laughter. “I don't freaking ask a thing about you and your Tiffany! Why are you so curious about my life? What happened to not interfere with our personal lives?” she paused watching him stare at her. “Does she even know that you have a son with me?” She asked the most important question, it was bugging her this whole time. “That's between me and Tiffany” he responded, fuming. “Right! Then this conversation is fucking over!” She just doesn't understand him at all. What was wrong with this man?.“It is not until I say so” he uttered and then snatched t
The next morning, they took the boy to school as usual before heading to the office. The car parked at the parking lot, where other employees were also parking their cars. “Don't you think coming to work together like this might cause unnecessary drama for both of us? I should've taken a taxi or an Uber.” she aired her worries. People have already begun to look at her differently since the day she was told to give her opinions on the meeting last time. It was an important project, she had to be an important person to their boss to give her opinions like that and they were actually executed. People have started to think of it that way, forgetting that she was also an employee who had the right to do so just like them. What are these people going to say the moment they find out that the two of them actually had a thing in the past and the fruit of it is their little boy?. Her head was aching at that thought. “Oh, should I take you back then so you can call your Uber?” He teased, placin
In the evening they had to leave and head back to Alan's house. They talked about it and thought of spending two nights at his house every week, starting with this week. Aileen had no argument for this since she would be going along with her son or else she would be going crazy with uneasiness of being far from her son, even for two nights. Leelan received a lot of gifts when she left his grandparent's house, Aileen wondered when did they get the time to prepare for everything. But then she answered herself, it was a rich people thing to get things done with only a snap, she witnessed a lot already from working with Alan for over half a year now. What gave her a headache was where were they going to keep all of those gifts at. Because those things were definitely not going to her house, uh uh it's not happening ….her house would be flooding with toys at this rate.When they arrived at his house, all the boy was talking about was their visit to his grandparents as if they weren't toget
“You did a great job raising him Aileen, he is so respectful and composed for his age” complimented the old man. “Thank you for not giving him up and keep him until today, you were brave” he added. Aileen blinked her tears, responding with her forced smile. She felt like crying aloud, brave wasn't something she expected to hear from him at all. “Yes, thank you very much. It must have been hard for you” Claimed the old woman, although her face was saying something else. Was she angry at me? Because she wasn't even trying to hide it whenever she glances her way. God please! She thought. “Thank you too” she replied, trying as hard as she could to keep her composure. She really doesn't need to be thanked for raising her own son for all these years, because she was going to do it all over again if she was asked to. That accident might have been her biggest failure but she doesn't regret having Leelan, he was the reason why she kept living. He practically saved her life and gave her a purp
Aileen's POV On the way, I was quietly looking outside the window while the father and son were playing. I can't lie, I was so scared to face his family after what happened between us. I ….I just can't get past the fact that they all tried to pursue me back then and all i remember doing was casting them aside. They all tried but I treated them badly that day, and to think that it wasn't even his fault to begin with made it even more hard for me. That was the biggest error I have ever made in my life, my life took a big turn since that accident and it was all for some lies, deceit!. “God, please forgive me” I sighed, rubbing my chest. Alan must have noticed my troubled face, he held my shoulder “Nervous?” He asked. I let out rashly “No! Why would I be?” He pulled back his hand, “Should I give you a mirror then?” My eyes widened. “Is it that obvious?” I thought I was good at hiding emotions until this man proved me wrong. “Very, it's all over your face. But there is nothing to worry
