Don't You DareI REACH for the telephone beside me when it's ringing. "RD DEPARTMENT, hello...""I miss you,"I was struck by what I heard on the other line. "Excuse me?""I love you,"So, it was him again."Is there really nothing you can do with your life? And part are you wasting is my working hours?""I miss you, Tamara. Will you please come over here? I just can't go to your office now I feel bad.""Don't order me and dramatize me," I said irritably. "What else you needed and you are messing with me again?""You. I always need you. The reason I moved to this company is because of you. And I want to be closer to my wife,"I just rolled my eyes. How many times have I heard that from Magnus? I can't count.This is what I'm saying, eh? It's not just he is the new boss he will mess up me right now, even my work.I sighed. "If you have nothing to say, please, leave me alone. I am busy here, Mr. Wellington!""Can you come over here, Mrs. Wellington, please?""Don't call me that way, Magn
Zenith AFTER I send Magnus to his condo, here I am now, cooking his food. I did that because how he was able to take his medicine if he didn't bother to eat breakfast this morning. And it's almost lunchtime.Oh, why would I be doing this?After cooking, I immediately knock on his room to wake him up for lunch, so that he can now take the medicine, and I can also leave immediately.I frowned when I saw that he still hadn't changed his clothes. I think he really feels bad.I came over to wake him up. But I was tempted to watch him closely. I don’t know how many moments I stared at him. So when he caught me, I immediately averted my eyes."Tamara,"“U-Uhm, you're awake. C’mon, get up and eat your meal first before you take your medicine.” I turn around to hide the redness of my cheeks. I was ashamed when he caught the act that I was staring at his lips.Magnus immediately followed me to the dining area. He didn't sit down and he just watched the table."You cooked?" he asked me while loo
I Love You, PeriodI WAS nervous but excited about the year-end event and the dance contest tonight. Well, this would be the first time I’d showcase my talent again after how many years. And worse, right in front of the new Ceo.I'm not sure if my dancing skills are still the same as before, or if I can still impress those people tonight, especially my husband. But I prepared myself for this dance contest, and also my group mates practiced a few days before the final show."And now, may we please call on the next group!" A shout from the hosts. "Are you ready, guys?""Yes!" shouted the people around the whole stadium.“But first, may I introduce to you the number one and the most famous, lovely, princess, and a campus queen during her Secondary. The sexy, vixen, and gorgeous cheerleader...”What’s that for? Why do they even know that?“A well-skilled dance instructor and choreographer during her College days,” added another host.My forehead is really wrinkled.“You know, this woman is
Wonderful TonightAFTER an intensive conversation, Magnus and I went out holding hands in the dressing room. Magnus didn't agree he was the first to go to the party venue and he never let go of my hand.I know, he was ready to introduce me to everyone tonight. But for me? No. I'm not afraid or whatever, I just don’t want to confuse everyone with me and treat me special. It's okay to be their ordinary employee.“Magnus, you go first. Maybe someone will see us.”"I don't care," he still held tightly on my hand. “What’s important is for me to be by your side. To be my wife’s exclusive date.”“Magnus, again. Please, let go of my hand. You can hold it again after this party, promise. Even all night long,”He suddenly turned to me and smirked. “Yeah, sure. I’ll do that even if you don’t say it yet to me."My face turned red. “So, let me go first now and I will do what you want after the party,”"It seems my wife is teasing and blackmailing me, huh?" I laughed a little. “Not working, wife. I
MaceyTHE CHRISTMAS party was over, but the issue between Magnus and I is still not over.The issue is widespread throughout the whole company, not just the issue but also the pictures we had at the last Christmas Party. Those intimate pictures were posted online. Many have also criticized me. Even Aunt Damian was wondering what the real score was between me and the CEO.I am diced with issues and gossip all around the company but I still tried to avoid it.I don’t want to answer and I don’t want to be more affected, especially when I heard negative comments from others. But it's too much sometimes when others try to gossip when I am so near."Sshh… She's already there, look!" I heard a whisper from an employee who was still staring at me from head to toe.“Well, she's really beautiful. And even the new owner was immediately hooked on her venom,” said another employee.“Let's say, she's such a flirt! It's really her intention to flirt with our poor CEO. Look, she has always ignored the
MommyI WAS surprised when I opened my eyes. She was there, wearing a wide smile, showing off the cute dimples on her little cheeks.Macey immediately ran towards me."Daddy," he hugged me tightly.No doubt this child is my child because almost three-fourths of her features were like mine. Her dark fierce eyes, her dimples, her nose, and the shape of her beautiful face."Oh, my darling daughter," I hugged her too tightly and I sat her down on the table."I missed you, Daddy.""I missed you, too, my baby." I kissed her forehead.I laughed as the child's face wrinkled. I pinched her little nose. "Yes. You’re not a baby anymore,” I said while brushing her wavy and shiny long hair with my fingers.This hair always reminded me of her, when she was still in high school."I am no longer young to be called a 'baby.' I will be going to seven soon, I am no longer a baby, Daddy,” she said while pouting.“Yeah, I know. But you can’t blame me, princess. You’ll always be, Daddy’s baby.” I patted her
Too Much Pain"MOMMY."I swallowed and did not move immediately when the child hugs me on the waist. I was really shocked at what she did, as well as the others people around us. Some even stood up to see more scenes.I wanted to protest but it seems my voice couldn't go out. My whole body stiffened and grew cold, while also the strength of the heartbeat in my chest."Mommy... Mommy,"Why was she always insisting that I was her mother?"M-Macey," Magnus's mother whispered."Marrah Celine," Karen called the child.Confused, my eyes got widened at them. I wanted to ask but nothing really came out of my mouth. I sighed, then glanced at the child who still hugged me tightly."U-uhm, y-you're just mistaken, baby," I stuttered at the beginning. I forcefully moved my hand and held his little arm around my waist.“No! I'm not mistaken. You really are my mommy.”I blinked when she suddenly sobbed.“U-uhm, no. Please don’t cry, baby,”'Oh, God! Why is it like this? Why do I want to hug her and c
DNA Result"W-WHAT did you say?" I was confused while I stared at him.“She is our daughter. Macey is ours. I planned earlier to tell you about it,” he covered my face with both his hands. "She's our daughter, Tamara." he wiped my tears.I removed his hand from my face. “That’s not a good joke. Stop it!” I turned my back on him."I have proof, here..."I angrily turned to Magnus. I looked at the cell phone he handed me.“Take a look at this DNA result. It’s yours and Macey’s hair sample.”I stared intently at Magnus's cell phone. I was swallowed. I don’t want to follow him but my heart pushed me to reach for it with my trembling hands. I sighed hard and breathed before starting to read the email from a well-known hospital.I gradually became depressed, confused, amazed, and hurt by the result I have read.“You remember last time when you were looking for your comb? I stole that and my daughter’s comb to submit to a doctor I know.”My mouth dropped as I listened.“I did that because I w
