I saw him on one corner drinking a whiskey when I entered the club and settled myself in a stool. I ordered for a martini while keeping an eye on him. After learning of Cathy’s marriage, the thought of finally confessing the truth to Trevor has been appealing.

“One more,” I asked the bartender.

I glanced again at Trevor who is on his fifth drink now since I arrived. He looked so down and wretched. His eyes were blank and his shoulders were stooping down. A familiar run of guilt of emotion washed through me. I might be too assuming for thinking about it. sighing, I put the glass on my mouth while still keeping my sight at him. He moved a bit and his eyes soon followed. His eyes met mine. He was a little bit shock but he just raised his glass to me and went back to his own thinking.

I sighed and focused my gaze on my drink. I can’t understand myself. Now that Trevor has dropped his ball on me and stopped chasing me, I am feeling extra squis

    “Uhm, you see what I see, Jill?”I followed Cathy’s gaze behind me and saw Trevor with Sandy entering the restaurant. My face hardened for a second before I reminded myself not to feel this way because I have no right.“Seems like the favorite couple is back, hmm?” I commented and went back eating. I saw them occupy a nearby table in the side of my vision.“Chill, relax. Trevor already assured you that there is no romance that is going on between the two. You can breathe now, okay?” Cathy teased me.“Cut it out, C. You know that I don’t care about them anymore. You must have taken it into a different context when I told you about the new friendship that we have forged. It’s like nothing that you’re thinking.”I twirled the spaghetti in my plate and waited for Cathy to say anything.“Yea, yeah. Whatever, but you know what I think? You need to convince yourself first

    I stood up and excused myself for a while. I need to collect myself after hearing those things from Cathy.“Just for a sec, Cathy. I need to go to the bathroom.”With trembling body, I hurriedly went to the washroom to fix myself. My senses were in chaos. I could not think straight. Cathy’s words were swirling in my head like a broken record on repeat. If I am searching for any evidence to prove that Von really did love me then this is it. This is what I am looking for.“But can I trust him this time? What will be his reaction if he learned about Zeus?”The door opened but I kept my head down, just staring into the running water. I smell a feminine perfume so I looked up only to see Sandy on my side retouching her make-up. She looks different than the last time I saw her with Brad abroad. She is more stressed now and judging from her shaking hands, I know that she is nervous. But why?“Are you okay?” I brok

    “Momma, when will I meet daddy?”“Baby, your father is a very, very busy man. Now be a good boy and go back to playing with your toys again, okay? Rose, get Zeus out here.”My son’s face grimaced into a cry. “Momma, dada.” He stomped on the floor and tugged at my arm so I took off my glasses and carried him into my lap.“Baby, as I said, daddy is a very busy man like momma and he is in a very, very far land away from us, understand?”His eyes were still sad because he has not gotten what he wanted so I just kissed him on his cheeks and tickled his neck to up his mood but he remained steadfast.“But momma, you told me that last night but you didn’t call daddy. I want to see daddy, momma. Please?”It is his turn to kiss me all over my face just for me to give in to his request. But maybe it will be the first time that I cannot hand over what he wishes.For one, Trevor has been out of my reach these past few days. He did not contact me si

    The day of dread happened too soon. Funny how fate played on me again. Looking back, I realized that I should have not let my fear and doubt got on my way. I have always proven that letting them seethe in you will only jeopardize things just like what is happening now. It was just a fraction of a minute but it’s enough to make me shattered inside.It’s also my mistake. I have not been cautious enough. I should have thought this would happen. I let my guard down that’s why the fucking way of things had seen a weakness and it did not waste any time to use it against me.So now I am looking at the two men in my life inside my office who is busy talking to each other like Zeus was never a toddler. Trevor was on the floor together with Zeus who was grinning from ear to ear while looking at his father in his usual glow of joy every time he sees me coming out of the car after work.I blinked my eyes to prevent my tears from falling o

    “Is that the reason why did you disappear?”I nodded and stood up to get a drink. “Partly. The other one is for my mother. She told me that day that she has a terminal illness. On that unlucky but lucky day, I realized that everything is really just a cycle. I have a life in my stomach while talking to a dying mother while on a distance is the man I love looking so happy with his bride.”I drank the liquor form the bottle and wiped the excess liquid off my mouth using my hand. “So tell me, Trevor, if you were in my position, will you have really done what you wanted me to do now? It’s easy to say those things when you are not in one’s position.”I heard his footsteps behind me. I saw him raise his hand as if to touch me but he lowered it down as if he just realized something.“You have years to tell me about Zeus. It’s not that I am do not want to understand you. I do. I know how hard it is and how I wish I was there by your side during those times protecting

    "Zeus is really happy. Look at that smile. Jill, I think it's the happiest smile I have ever seen from that little boy.""I know and I don't how I would feel about it. I'm partly jealous and happy seeing my child like this. I never saw him beam like that to me."I retracted my gaze at Trevor and Zeus who are playing in the yard and flipped the meat in the griller. Zeus requested for a grill party as what he coined because he said he wanted to welcome his father in the house."Now you know that it's not that hard to tell the truth. I think you got the best deal here. Zeus is happy because he has finally seen his father. Trevor is obviously too happy for knowing his son so you should also be happy now that everything is falling in its right place."Cathy forked a meat on the griller, blew on it, and put in her mouth."You mean I should be more cautious. I'm happy for my son but it's a different story

    His words felt like an ice bucket on my head. I broke free from his arms and wiped my mouth. My heart is beating erratically and even if I can't see my face in the mirror, I know that I am red in embarrassment. I gave in to him. I gave in to my desire to him. He's right. Until now, my body is still a slave to him.Shaking, I combed my hair using my hands and tried to bring back my lost will because of that mind-shattering kiss."Shit," I muttered and walked out of the kitchen into the powder room to calm my raging hormones. I'm turned on by him. There's no denying that. It's been so long since I had a sexual relationship since Trevor because I was never turned on by the other guys I have went out with. For that, I hated myself because my body seemed to have a bias towards Trevor.When I thought that everything is under control, I went out of the powder room only to be surprised again because Trevor is waiting for m

    I looked at Trevor in my back who is now approaching me. I just nodded at him and turned my focus back to the pictures."Your stint here is over. You can leave. Leave it to me to give an alibi for Zeus.""No, I will stay until dinner. I promised my boy that I will tuck him to bed later."I sipped on my wine and transferred into another corner of photos. This time, it's Zeus' corner."Your boy. Kind of possessive.""My boy and you're my woman too."He followed me and looked at the collection of photos of our son."That will never happen again."He did not said anything. He just stared at the baby photos of Zeus."How was he as a baby?"I smiled when I went down the memory lane."Zeus is such a kind baby. He didn't give me any hard time. Maybe because he knows how h

    He smiled which melt my heart."I know you have heard me offer it to you countless of times. Only now did I realize what an asshole I was for doing it but Jill, this asshole will shamelessly asked you now if you could spend your life with him for the rest of the days?"He got down on his knee and offered me the ring on his necklace. "Will you be my other half for the rest of our eternity, Jill?"I choked on my tears. I don't know why but something is telling me to give in, that this is the time I was hoping and praying for.Without further ado, I nodded and offered my hand to him. His tears fell which made the whole proposal more emotional than ever."Thank you, Jill. You will not regret it. I promise you."With shaking hands, he put on the ring to my equally shaking finger. We both looked at it with sigh and contentment in heart."Finally, you are mine again."He closed our gap and kissed me sweetly. He didn't try to open my m

    The coast is as white as snow and the water is crystal-clear like it's waving at me to take a dip. The scenery is very beautiful. Everything is sparkling. There were just a few people around since the resort is a very exclusive one. I met the owner earlier who is a friend of Trevor.The father and son tandem were all long gone from our beach room and were enjoying swimming at the waters. I can see them from the terrace of the house. Trevor was teaching Zeus how to swim. I smiled when he put Zeus into his shoulders and swam.This is the greatest sight to behold. Seeing these two guys having the best time in their lives, just simply having fun.It's just sad how I can't be with them now. Earlier, they convinced me to swim but I refused because I'm not really feeling well. My head is throbbing with pain. I took a pill already so the pain is subsiding. I didn't tell them about it because I don't want to spoil the fun.

    Trevor did stand true to his words. He proved to me that he is worthy enough to give my trust back to. Day by day, he showed to us his true colors. He was there in our life every step of the way especially for Zeus.I also saw the video clip he gave me. True enough, it was Sandy who initiated the kiss, not him. I was just too angry that time that I failed to believe his reason.Every day, he is the first person I would see first in the morning because he drives from his home to mine every dawn to drive me to the office afterwards. Sometimes, he cooks breakfast for the three of us whenever he arrived too early in the morning.And this morning is one of the many days that I woke up to the aroma of his cooking.“Good morning,” I greeted him when I was at the entrance of the kitchen. Trevor is in front of the stove, mixing whatever he’s cooking in the pan from which the mouth-watering fragrance is coming from.He looked up to me and smiled

    I barely had any sleep during the remaining hours of the dawn so I just rose from the bed to start my day early. My mind was still left to Trevor. Why can’t he just drop it all so we can each live a peaceful life? Everything would be easier from then on.In the end, I still chose to understand him because I know the feelings. I was once in his shoes back then. I know how hard for someone to be yours. If there's anyone in the world who can truly understand him then it will be me. Actually, I have been thinking and trying to understand him and now, it’s all gradually sinking it to me.I was just sitting on the porch having my coffee while waiting for Zeus to wake up when the man in my mind appeared in the doorway carrying a bouquet of flowers in his hand and a box of chocolates in the other. He looked so fresh and handsome in his casual shirts and pants as if he had not cried and begged to me a few hours ago. He walked to me and kissed my head like nothing happened a

    I can’t sleep the whole night. I was just tossing around my bed staring at the wall clock. The rain is still very hard outside. I also lost count about how many times I have peeked through the curtains to check if Trevor’s car is still outside. He is still there and he won’t stop calling me so I have to block his number and tried to go to sleep but the voice in my head won't stop bothering me.At two am, I can’t really stop myself. I picked up an umbrella and went outside. I braced myself for the gustiness of the wind and the heavy pouring of the rain butJbut I braved through it. I opened the gate and I saw Trevor emerged from his car and met me halfway.“Why did you go out? Go back to sleep. I’ll just be here. We will talk tomorrow,” he said when he stood inches from me soaking in rain. Exhaustion and sadness are what characterize him now.He didn't touch me. He stepped back and put his hands on his pockets not minding the strong pouring of r

    "I shouldn't have put the idea in your head. That was so stupid of me. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I should have thought about your history with the man.""No, Cathy. Don't blame yourself. It was all on me. I made my own decision. I was an adult who is very capable of deciding on her own."She sighed and caressed her growing tummy. Sadness is all over her pretty face."I really thought that everything will be going as what I wanted. I am secretly hoping that you guys will make up and then get married before this year ends. Jill, I don't want to leave you like this. If I could just stay here forever for you, I will gladly do so.""Cathy, you have a life you need to live, too. If you are only doing this because you don't want to leave me alone then forget about it. I have Zeus. He's all I need. I'm a grown ass adult who runs a multi-billion business. This is just a passing moment for me. I have surpa

    I was brimming with so much hope in my heart when I came here. I was so ready to tell him that maybe we can all start over again. I will tell him that as I have thought it all through, I realized that I wanted to give him a second shot, that I wanted to give our son a complete family.But all that has been shattered in an instant when I saw him kissing not just any other girl but Sandy, the woman whom I have been always insecure and wary about.The hope I am feeling earlier went out of the window instantly upon witnessing this heartbreaking scene. I can feel my heart breaking and being blown into pieces. It's like all my energy has been sucked out from my body and I cannot even lift a finger to them.I took a step back and gasped. The two heard me and looked at my direction quickly. Trevor's face was remarkable. His mouth just opened wide and his face is so pale I could paint something on it. There was a considerable fear in his eye

    “Zeus, do you really want your daddy to live here in the house?”“Of course, mommy. I want daddy here with us.”My son took a car out of his piles of toys we bought yesterday courtesy of Trevor. That guy even rented the whole space so Zeus could have all the toys for himself.“But baby, this house will be smaller for us now. You won’t have the whole place for yourself. Do you like that? Are you okay with that?”He nodded and broke the leg off the toy.“It’s okay for me, momma. I want dadda here.”“But dadda is so noisy. He will wake you up all night.”“No, momma. Dadda is not noisy.”“Really?” I put him on my lap and pinched his cheeks. “But daddy will take some of your toys. You okay with that? Hmm?”&nb

    “Cathy, what do you think?”“I think it’s perfectly fine. It’s about time you stop pretending and give your heart a break from all the restraining that you do. I don’t see anything wrong with being happy, Jill.”I wiped off the sweat from my head using my wrist and continued working out.“What if it’s just another trap, Cathy? I can’t risk my heart for the second time around, Cathy. I will lose my mind.”Cathy got up from her stretching routines to drink water from the bottled water on the floor of my personal gym.“Everything is a risk, Jill. Every decision we make is a risk. On my side, you know how I was protective of you. if I have sensed any tiny irregularity with his intention to you, then I will be the very first person who will be on his way. But I can feel and see that he is very sincere of you Jill even before knowing about Zeus. We can’t say that he just did it for Zeus. He loves you, Jill. You know in yourself that it’s true this time.
