QUIVAMy sister always visits me at my condo. She takes her children with her sometimes who I always annoy. She let me do my tricks, whatever that is I wanted to do because she said it was part of my pregnancy. She spoiled me with my cravings. When she was pregnant, she gets frustrated and stress whenever she doesn't get what she wanted.One time I craved food that I knew I could buy at a convenient store, so I left the condo. The 7/11 I was going to was right next to the condo building so I just walked. If I had known that I would see an evil creature on the road, I would not have gone out.The goddamn Criselda was outside 7/11. I think she followed me here and waited until I was done shopping. She was smirking looking at me.The way she looks at me made me nervous. She looks like she has an evil plan. Or that is how she normally look? Like a demon. Maybe."How are you? Did you had a great vacation?" She asked with her bitch tone and bitch face.I composed myself, not letting her kn
QUIVAHis eyes were fixed at me as he approached. He went to my side.We both heard running footsteps. When I glanced at where Criselda was standing earlier, she's gone. She's nowhere to be seen. I think she got afraid of Nicholas."Who's that? You were talking to someone?" Nicholas asked. Seems like he didn't saw Criselda. Maybe she was blocked from his view because of the parked car. You could only see her from my place.When I looked back at him I almost gave in. I want to hug him. Seeing his handsome face made me cry harder. I want to tell him how Criselda keeps starting a fight with me. I want to tell him the bad words that woman said to me. But I stopped myself. I remembered the most painful words said by that freak. She said he bedded her and had an affair with her. I was hurt and got angry with Nicholas thinking about it."Criselda." I answered rudely and sparingly.His face changed. I can see the worry and surprise on his face. He looked at me from head to toe. Checking if I
QUIVAI heard a woman's voice, its Gina. Knowing she's here made me feel a little better. She asked where I was. Trev told her I'm in the kitchen. I hear her voice approaching.When she saw me, she immediately signaled me with her eyes. Pointing at Nicholas and Trev. But when she saw me just sitting here and saw that I was not okay, she quickly approached me."Are you okay? What's wrong?" She asked whispering. She didn't need to whisper."I'm just dizzy. Why are you here?" It shows in my tone that I'm weak. She went to the refrigerator and took a pitcher of water. She poured me water into a glass and gave it to me."You look pale. Do you have a fever? Are you sick?" She asked quickly. I shook my head.Oh, right! She doesn't know I'm pregnant. I don't want to tell her about my pregnancy over the phone why I haven't told her yet. I want to say it personally. She's been busy with her work and everything why she couldn't visit me. Why I'm also surprised that she's here. She didn't tell me
QUIVAThe two watched us, Gina and Trev. Gina's asking me with her stares. Asking if I'm willing to talk to Nicholas. Probably so she could figure out a way to cast away Nicholas if I don't want to talk to him."Go home now." I said to him without even looking at him. I can feel his gaze."Q, do you have soju here? I wanna drink soju." Gina said loudly then wrapped her hand around my arm and pulled me back to the kitchen."You stay here for now. I'll take the two home. It looks like Sir doesn't want to leave you. I'll go out with them, looks like you don't have any alcohol here as well. I'll be right back." She said. I just nodded.I don't want to talk to Nicholas because I don't know what to say. And I might get dizzy again. I don't want another problem to think of. Maybe I'm stressed so much why I get dizzy. It's ten o'clock. I don't know if Gina and I will continue to talk. I’ll probably just sleep on her. I'm not really going to drink.Gina came back with soju, sprite, yakult and
THIRD P POV"What is it?" his older brother suddenly ask him. He forgot that he was right next to him and seemed to have heard what he said.He was going to lie to his brother but he thought of asking him. He might know a place or someone where they could buy sherbet. Q doesn't like ice cream that can be bought at a convenient store. Even if it's branded expensive ice cream, she doesn't like it because she's really looking for sherbet."Do you know where I can find sherbet? You might know someone who sells sherbet at this hour bro?" He asked his brother.He might ask who is he buying it for but he doesn't mind. He also wants to stress his older brother on thinking where to buy sherbet at this time because he should be the one who is stressed about Q right now.He is the father of the child Q is carrying but it is Trev who is having problems in Q's conception. He is itching to tell his brother the truth but he is not because he wants the truth to come from Q. He doesn't want to be the
QUIVA "Maybe she doesn't like the taste of soju." Trev said. We looked at each other. He was helping me."She's the one who introduced soju to me." Gina said. I bit my lip. You can't fool Gina Trev, when it comes to me. And its true, because of me, Gina started drinking soju."Is that so?" Trev said. "Maybe it's a different flavor, that's why she doesn't like it? Or maybe the person who made it isn't good at mixing it. I don't like it either to be honest." He said casually. I immediately looked at Gina because she was the one who made the mixture, I knew she would be upset."Don't drink it if you don't like it! You should have made the mixture. Make your own if you don't like my mixture!" She said flatly.Told you she will be annoyed. I signaled Trev not to annoy Gina. Trev moved closer to me, crouched down so he could whisper to me."You and your friend are both crooked." He whispered. I was immediately annoyed. I glared at him. The fool laughed."Your debt, huh? You might have forg
QUIVA"Bro, what kind of question is that?!" Trev shouted to his brother.I can't stop the tears falling down my cheeks. My heart fucking hurts. His question hurts me. His words are like arrows shot right to my heart.My whole body is shaking. If I hadn't leaned over and held onto the sink, I might have fallen. I saw Trev looked at my hands. He saw them shaking too."Shhhh. Calm down, Q." He tried to calm me down. I was startled by Nicholas' loud shouting."Shit!" He cursed loudly then stormed out. I was sobbing."Nicholas?!" I tried to call him out, stopping him from leaving. But I know he didn't hear me. Even for me, my voice is very weak."Where is he going?" I asked Trev. I want to chase Nicholas but I'm so weak, I can't move my body. My insides are panicking but I can't move. I feel too weak.I felt Trev caressing my back. It calms me down. Gina was standing still. Also shocked with what's happening. She looked at Trev's side, I don't know what she signaled to him. She quickly we
QUIVA"What did he say? What did you say to him?" I wiped my tears and stood up. I saw the doubt in Trev's eyes.What he said repeated in my mind. Give him some time? Time again? Those words came from Trev but Nicholas words and voice echoed in my head. Like the way he said that to me when he found out that I knew that Trev was my fiance.He's asking for some time again. Damn it! It's always like this! He always waits for me! Anger built up inside me."What do you mean give him some time? What? He doesn't want our child? He couldn't accept he got me pregnant?!" I asked angrily. But a tear fell from my eye.I saw Gina tried to come close to me. She wanted to calm me down and was surprised by the sudden change in my emotions."Q, it's not like that." Trev said calmly."You don't need to sugarcoat your brother Trev. If he told you he doesn't want the baby, you can be honest to me. If he doesn't want her, we don't want him either." I said firmly. But deep insdie my heart was beating painf
