“Munchkin, why don’t you send an invitation to Isaac your neighbor/boss/friend to join us for dinner tonight”, Ryle asked with his teasing voice. “Why should I? I sarcastically replied. “Coz you’re best friend wants to meet him, don’t tell me you are being unfair and going to hide him while I'm around”. “Me? being unfair? and why is that? why I would do that? “Coz Tamara, meet him already and I didn’t know him at all. I just want to satisfy my curiosity”. “Well for the record Mister, Tamara only meets him accidentally. I just bumped into him before and I didn’t intend to introduce him to her”. “Okay, fair enough but she still knows him and I don't”. So invite him over, what’s the harm in that? Tell him that Tamara is here and if he wanted to join dinner” “Fine, I will try”. --- I get my phone and thought about what should I send to Isaac. I hope he will not misunderstand my invitation to him. Me: Hey, do you have any plans later at dinner? He replied instantly Isaac: Nothin
Isaac POV I started my day at the office with a smile on my face. I felt like I’m floating in the clouds. Bettany occupied my mind after she sent me a good morning message. I imagine her beautiful face, her green eyes staring at me, her sweet smile. I didn’t expect that she will send me a good morning greeting today. I couldn't wait for a lunch break. I want to invite her again to have a meal with me outside. I distracted myself from thinking of Bettany with my work. I still don’t want to admit that something is going on with me from how I feel about Bettany. It’s just only a few days passed. Hours passed, and the lunch break I’d been waiting for finally arrived. I decided to send a message to Bettany to confirm if she had already taken her lunch break. Me: Did you have your lunch? After a few minutes, I received her reply. Bettany: Yes, done. I got disappointed with what I read. I’ve been waiting and looking forward to having a meal with her again but I think it’s not my lucky
Bettany POV “What took you so long munchkin? Is everything okay? , when I came inside my apartment Ryle gave me a questioning look. “Yeah, Isaac and I just had a little conversation before we said goodbyes”, I explained to them. “Is prince charming couldn't help being away with you? Tamara teased. “Of course not, we were just friends okay”. Don’t assume anything he is my boss as well.” “Oh, come on munchkin, I saw the way he looked at you. It is not just friends at all, believe me.” “Whatever floats on your boat, enough of me. Let’s plan our small escapade tomorrow”. I changed the topic coz I don’t want to overthink everything. I am comfortable enough with what I and Isaac have right now. Let’s not jump out to the ship if it is not sinking yet. The three of us settled in my living room area. We plan our escapade for tomorrow. We decided to visit my parent’s home first before we went straight to another town. After we finalized our plan we headed to our different rooms. Ryle went
“Mom, Dad we will come back here before Ryle’s flight. We need to go now we are traveling to another town.” I explain to my mom and dad. They thought we are having a night with them. I explained to them that we had planned for the entire week of my vacation so we will come back before Ryle went back to Paris. “Okay sweetheart, just be careful and take care of each other okay”. my mom reminded “I will mom, I'll call you when we arrive there, okay.” “Don’t worry Mom I’m with them all the time,” Ryle reassured. “Enjoy your trip then. Tamara, Ryle come back here before you left the town again okay.” my dad told to the three of us. “We will Dad”. Tamara and Ryle said in unison. We exchanged hugs and kisses with my mom and dad and we said our goodbyes to them. In no time we were on our way to the town where we going to stay for the night and days. Ryle is the one who is driving again. We started to hum to the song “We Got the Party by Hannah Montana [feat. Jonas Brothers]” It’s like
“Wow, can I live here? Tamara is still awestruck by the place with each passing moment. There was not much crowd in the hot spring by the time we arrived. It’s a good thing for us so we could enjoy ourselves without much disturbance. Tamara and I removed our outer clothes and only our swimsuits remain. I felt some stranger's eyes checking us out. I didn’t glance at them even though I feel their eyes on me instead I show them my confidence. “Wow both of you, boys are already drooling can’t you see? ha.ha.ha., Ryle teased us while he put his arms around our shoulders and protected us from prying eyes. “Oh, come on I know we’re hot that’s why my boyfriend is all crazy about me. Tamara teased back. “That’s the confidence I say cupcake, too bad to them you are both taken”. Ryle faked his face as he is regretting. “Excuse me, I’m still single and ready to mingle." ha.ha.ha. “Oh, come on, don’t pretend now, you have a prince charming remember? “No, I don’t. How many times do I need to
Isaac POV I decided to fly back to New York City. I needed some time to clear my head. Everything happened so fast in Ohio in a good way to the point I felt scared that one day it will be gone again and my past might repeat once again. I’m always excited to see and be with Bettany. Somehow I felt that I’m with my old self again. Because after I broke up with Livy I choose to drown myself in my work. I close myself to everyone. I lost myself from being hurt by someone I love more than I should be. I felt cold inside but when I came to Ohio and meet Bettany I felt warm again and I couldn't explain why. Do I’m ready to embrace all these feelings and go back to my old self and be vulnerable once again? --- “Bub, I’m home,” I called for my sister. She is in the living room watching tv. “Oh my god, Bub you’re finally here. When did you come back, why you didn’t tell me you will come. I miss you, Bub”. my sister uttered with surprise on her face. “I just landed today I came here directl
Bettany POV Our group of friends is still inside the restaurant. They still savoring the fresh seafood on their plate when suddenly my phone rang. I saw Isaac’s name pop up so I answered it regardless of the noise in the background. “Hello, Isaac? I greeted him calming myself. My heart went giddy knowing that I can hear his voice. “Hi did I disturb you? His deep voice echoed in my ears. “No, it’s okay just wait for a second I will go to some quiet place so we can hear each other clearly”. I mouthed to Tamara that I will go out and pointed the phone at my ears. I went to the beachside not too far from the restaurant. “Isaac, are you still there? I asked Isaac making sure he didn’t hang up on me. “Yeah, I’m here. How are you? “Good, actually I’m enjoying myself. You should visit this place in your free time. The Garden of Eden is really amazing. You can relax at the same time you will have a good time.” Me being the cheerful one I excitedly share with him my whole day's activitie
A day passed and we were still at the Garden of Eden. Ryle and I wanted to try the Hiking activities offered at the Garden of Eden. At first, Tamara disagreed with it coz she is not a fan of long walks but in the end, we both convinced her to come along. “Guys I already booked our hiking tomorrow. I think we were accompanied by 3 more groups. It’s going to be more fun”. I eagerly announced to both of them but Tamara is still sulking on the side. “Cupcake, don’t give us that face now. I’m sure you will be enjoying the scenery tomorrow, we will fall in love again watching the sunrise.” Ryle coaxed the pouting Tamara at the side. “Come on we will love this, are you not excited to meet some stranger so that we can be friends once again? I comforted her as well. “Fine, I don’t have any choice now do I? She gives us a sarcastic smile but we both know that she’s looking forward to it as well. We decided to take a rest for today in our room so we have plenty of energy for tomorrow morning
Bettany POV It’s been four years since our lives changed completely. After I wake up in a coma, I focus on my rehabilitation to recover my strength easily. Isaac has been on my side every step of it. He didn’t leave me no matter how I assured him that I was already okay and I had fully recovered after two months of my rehabilitation. I come back home where my little bundles and our whole family waiting for me. They gave me a warm welcome once again. Tamara and Bryan are now married and have a 2-year-old daughter Amelie. Ryle and Hannah also have a 1 one-year-old daughter Ria and a 3-year-old son Matt. Avery and Dallin are now engaged and they will get married next year. Alice and Ian have another 3-year-old son Xander and Baby Zoe is 12 years old now. My family and friends are getting bigger and bigger now. We’re happy that everyone is happy with their own life. Everything is falling into its place and no one is behind. “Momma”. Aki ran towards me crying. “Hey, what’s wrong little
“Why are you crying like a baby, love? I suddenly heard a familiar and hoarse voice when I looked up at my wife. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My wife stared at me with pain on her face. She's trying to lift her hands but I can see how she's struggling. I woke up from my stupor and rang the bell to call the nurse and doctor. "How are you feeling, princess? Do you need anything? I asked and wiped my tears discreetly. I couldn't describe how I'm feeling right now. It's kind of overwhelming that finally, my wife came back to us. "Water, love". she uttered dryly and I got up for water and assisted her in drinking. I shifted our sleeping twins to their crib beside my wife's bed and Dr. Pierce arrived with his assistant in no time. "Mrs. Jones, finally you awake. How are you feeling at the moment? Dr. Pierce said to check up on my wife thoroughly while I'm standing and watching from the side. I couldn't even blink my eyes because I was afraid that if I closed my eyes and opened th
It’s been six months since my wife gave birth to our little bundles and it’s been six months that my wife is not on our side. She’s still in a coma at the hospital but she’s not in the ICU anymore we shifted her to the VIP room already. She can breathe now on her own without the machine’s help. Dr. Pierce said that all her vitals are getting good and all we can do now is to wait for her to wake up on her own. It’s been six months since my life changed totally I fight the battle where I’m not sure I could win. I can’t give up without a fight that's all I can tell myself. I handed the full authority to all my business temporarily to my sister. I needed to focus on my family, I couldn’t leave my wife’s side and our little bundles needed me. I need to be stronger for them. I will make sure that the time will come when my family will be complete and happy once again. Aki and Amell are very active now. They can crawl and start to babble some baby words. My family lives with me temporarily
Isaac POV The moment I heard the cry of our baby I couldn't explain how happy I felt inside. This is the moment my wife and I've been waiting for the few past months. Our little bundles can finally see the world. I’m so delighted to see both of them and hold them in my hands. But the happiness I’m feeling right now didn’t last long. I can feel something weird is happening to my wife from the way she’s talking to me. “Love, get our little bundles, make sure you will take care of both of them. Love them the way you love me. I’m tired now I think I need a rest. I love you always and forever, remember that”. my wife said and I realized her eyes were shutting slowly I panicked when I heard the unstable sound of the machine. I handed the twins to the nurse without care for anything else but my wife. “Princess, hey, Dr. what’s happening? I said trying to talk to my wife but she was not responding. The delivery room now is in chaos and I don’t know what’s exactly happening to my wife. “Mr.
“Ah, Ah”. We’re on our way to the hospital and I’m trying to endure the pain and hide it from Isaac but I can't, when the contractions hit me I can’t help but just scream in pain. I know Isaac must be worried right now but I can't help it. “Princess, inhale, exhale we’re near in the hospital now. Everything will be alright. I’m sorry I made you feel this way, we’re not going to have kids anymore after this just hold on, okay we’re near, we’re near now”. Isaac said, but in every word, he said now I don’t care about it anymore at this moment. All I care about now is the pain to go away I’m feeling and seeing my little bundles. Finally, we arrived at the hospital and Dr. Pierce was already on standby. They pushed me into the delivery room and I’m scared now. I hold tight to Isaac’s hand, I need him inside the room to be my strength. “Don’t worry, princess. I’m not going anywhere I will be with your side to welcome our little bundles. Don’t be scared I’m only here and any minute now we
It’s been a while since we knew we were having twins. From the day we revealed the gender of our little bundles our family didn’t stop giving us a gift for the twins. Isaac decided that we needed to shift to a bigger place since we were now having a kid. He bought a house near to my parent’s place and we already shifted thereafter a month after our gender reveal. We started decorating the rooms of the twins and being prepared for their birth. Yeah, finally anytime soon in this coming week, we can already meet our little bundles. Isaac decided to work from home again he doesn’t want to leave by my side especially anytime now I could give birth to our little bundles. “Good morning, princess”. he greeted me when I opened my eyes from sleeping. He has already freshened up and just waiting for me to wake up to have our breakfast and do our morning routine. “Hmm, good morning hubby”. I groaned greeting him. I couldn't move properly now because of how big my tummy is. I always need Isaac’s
“Love, are you excited? I asked Isaac coz today we’re going to my monthly check-up and we will find out the gender of our little bundles. “I am, princess. I couldn't wait to know it. Do you have gender preferences in your mind? He asked. “None exactly, all I wanted is for them to be healthy. I don’t even care if they’re both male or female coz I will love them both no matter what”. I said lovingly. “Hmm, me too, princess. All I wanted is for all of you to be healthy. That’s all that I've been praying for”. he said and he walked towards me and kissed me on my temples and he kneeled to kiss my big baby bump. “By the way love, we still need to wait till evening before we know the gender. Our families are throwing a party and they want it to be a surprise to all of us so we can’t directly ask Dr. Pierce to say it to us”. I said reminding him. Avery planned a gender reveal for our twins this evening so we have a family gathering once again. “Yes, princess. For the hundredth time, Mom a
Bettany POV It's been a month since Dr. Pierce advised me to have full bed rest for the stability of our little bundles. To make sure they become healthy I follow Dr. Pierce's advice. Every day of the past month I've only left our bed when I'm going to use the bathroom but with the help of my husband. He didn't make me walk and he was afraid that I was going to bleed again. I understand his worry so I didn't argue with him. It feels like we're both in House Arrest but mostly bed arrest. In this past month, he didn't go to the company as well. He instructed Jeff that if it was only an urgent matter that needed his attention, that was the only time he could report to him. He didn't leave on my side 24/7 so our life in the past month only revolved around our bed. He made sure I didn't get bored as hell, he entertained me as much as possible. He always talked to our little bundle and that made him more adorable. He's going to be the best father to our twins that I'm really sure of. "Lov
Isaac POV “Dr. Pierce, how’s my wife and my twins? I ran anxiously when I saw the door of the emergency room open and Dr. Pierce came out. I can hear my heart thumping loudly. Am I ready to hear what he will say? What if. No, don't think like that Isaac. My princess and our little bundles are stronger than I know. Nothing gonna happen to both of them." I said to myself. I'd never been scared of my life before but when I saw my wife had blood in her hands I felt someone tagging me once again in the dark. I repeated telling her that everything would be fine but the truth is I'm not actually sure of my words either. I need to be stronger for both of us. It's not the time for me to give in to the darkness. I have a wife who needed me to be her strength. No matter what happens I need to be stronger for both of us. "Mr. Jones, I'll be honest with you. It makes us have a hard time stopping the bleeding but we are lucky that you arrived on time. Mrs. Jones and your child are both safe and o
