One Week Stand Chapter 31
"Good morning, Ma'am Aira," Jelyn greeted when I entered the office."Do you have my schedule for today?" I asked."Yes, Ma’am," she said as she followed me to my table. She opened her iPad and told me my schedule for today. I have meetings with my staff at 10 am, and a site visit after lunch with some of our Junior Architects."Is Arch. Morales here already?" I asked. "She has a presentation to prepare for and I'd like to see it before she presents it to the client.""She’s not here yet, I believe. But I’ll let her know to come straight to you when she gets here,” she said. I nodded and opened my laptop. It's when I noticed the to-go cup of coffee and small paper bag beside it. I haven't had my caffeine this morning because I woke up quite late. I had to take care of Andrei’s morning routine and I had to drive him to school since Zandrey can’t do it because of his shift. Because of all of those, I was not able to have any breakfast."Thanks for this," I said to Jelyn as I showed her
One Week Stand Chapter 32
Daisy invited me to stay at their house for a night. She said we’ll have dinner together and will do a sleepover. She said I could bring Andrei since she's also inviting Thaniel.When Thaniel knew that Daisy was pregnant, he's pretty much always around. Daisy even said that she feels like he wanted to live with her. I'm sure Thaniel will be a good Uncle. The kid’s not yet born, but I could already feel his love for the child. It was past 5 pm when Andrei and I arrived at Daisy's house. "Hello, Auntie!!!" He greeted the moment he saw Daisy. He happily hopped off from the car and ran to Daisy who's waiting for us near the door. "Hello, Superman!" She replied. Andrei opened his little arms and hugged Daisy. Andrei then poked her stomach. "Hello there, baby." I smiled as I watch him do it. I think whatever my son does, I would find it adorable. He brings a smile to my face each time. "Let’s go inside?" Daisy invited. I nodded as I followed her inside. "Daddy!" Andrei exclaimed as h
One Week Stand Chapter 33
Daisy needs to stay at the hospital because she still needs to be monitored. I heard there was a mild abruption and she needs to stay here for further monitoring. I didn't go home just yet, so I stayed with Dom. She's already inside a private room so we’re just the only people here. She's still sleeping and Dom is beside her, sitting on a chair beside her bed. While I sat on the small sofa at the corner.I feel like my entire body lost its energy after what happened earlier. So I just sat there with all these thoughts in my head. But a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. It slowly opened until it fully revealed Zandrey in his white coat. I didn’t notice him earlier in his white coat because of the panic. But now that I do, I could see how much it suits him.I've always pictured him in his white coat before and I was right when I thought that it would look good on him.It really looks good on him."Hey..." Zandrey mumbled to Dominic. He then looked at me and gave me a tight-lipp

It was like I saw a ghost- a ghost from the past. I froze on the spot while the two of them continued looking at me. I don’t want to feel. But if there's something dominant with my feelings- that is confusion. Because why is she here? Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks with me? But why does she look exactly like my biological mother? Why does she look like she’s so surprised to see me? Why does the familiarity feel so strong? If this is indeed her, who did we bury years ago? I couldn't say a word, and neither could they. I could feel the tension between us. I feel bad because it's supposed to be a happy day for my son and he's too young to understand things. "Mommy, are you crying?" I heard Andrei ask. Zandrey was carrying him in his arms and they were looking at me. I didn't realize that tears were already falling down from my eyes. When Andrei pointed it out, I quickly wiped it with my hands. "Baby, Daddy's still at work and he's quite busy. Maybe this is enough. We s
One Week Stand Chapter 35
I finally had the courage to contact Zandrey. I asked him if I could meet him... and her. That's why I couldn’t contain my nerves right now while I was going out of my car. He gave me the address to their home. He took a leave so he's there. He even volunteered to take me but I was firm in going there by myself. I saw Zandrey waiting for me by the gate. It was a two-storey house that had a huge lot. There's either a pool or a huge garage. That, I'm not sure yet. Zandrey gave me a tight-lipped smile when I was nearing him. "Hi," he greeted. "Hi," I replied. If there’s something dominant about what I’m feeling right now, that’s nervousness. I couldn’t chill while I was on my way here. Good thing I was able to drive safely earlier. I'm gonna see her again. And even if I tried to prepare myself for that meeting, I still feel nervous. I'm scared of what I'm going to hear. I'm scared of what I might feel after hearing her explanation. "She's waiting for you," he said. Upon en

My mother was right when she said that not all things go according to plans. She said they have their own ways of complicating lives. But all things, the easy and the complicated, also have their own ways of serving their purposes, and it shall make everything make sense one day.I couldn’t quite remember everything about my mother, except for those words. I was still young, but for some reasons, it stayed in my mind. I waited for that day. I waited for when all the things that happened to me would make sense, because I wanted to know why those happened to me. But it just got me waiting for so long. Apparently, sometimes, it takes a while. "Ma’am Daisy’s waiting for you in your office, Miss Aira," Janine, my assistant said. I paid a glance at her and she was smiling so brightly at me that it made me smile too. It was nice having a friendly face here in the shop.I nodded at Janine and left my unfinished bouquet to her. Sunday has been the busiest day of the week. The orders are a
One Week Stand Chapter 1
“Come on, Ai, please. This will be fun, I promise!” Daisy said, almost begging. She has been asking me to join their group date. She has two other friends from her class joining the said date. I don’t know why she’s asking me when she can ask someone else from her class. She knows I don’t do this kind of stuff. “I already said no,” I replied as I continued walking faster. I still have to go to the Library because it’s my free time. I’d rather do some homework than waste my time on other things. Daisy kept on following me, even if she still has a class and is now running late. “Aira please,” she pleaded again, this time in an even sadder tone. “Can’t you just grant me this, just this time? Please? You know, my crush will be there and I just want you to meet him, and maybe you can check him out for me?” I stopped from walking and she did too. Daisy looked at me with her pleading eyes. “And you really want me to check him out for you? Are you sure?” “Why not? You’re good when it com
One Week Stand Chapter 2
I can’t help but think how small the University is. I mean, out of all the students there, it’s really the guy who I bumped into earlier? It could just be a coincidence, but how crazy of a coincidence is that? I quickly looked away from him. It’s like all I did ever since he came is to stare at him. Not because I find him attractive or what, but because I just really got surprised by this circumstance. I felt Daisy kick my feet under the table. I tried to ignore her. I don’t want the people in this table to think we have our own world, when we have everyone here we should be talking to. “You were the guy I bumped into earlier,” I mumbled, my eyes focused on my now half-empty glass. “Yeah, I think it’s me,” the guy replied. I was not looking but I could tell he was smiling. “I’m Zandrey,” he introduced. I saw his hand in front of me. I got confused for a while, but then I realized he was trying to offer his hand for a handshake. I shook his hand. “I’m Aira.” He looked at me and c
