“Yeah, I’ll be visiting the site tomorrow,” I answered to the engineer that I was talking to. I was asking for a progress report and was told that they’ll send it to me within the day. Because of what happened with Arch. Mendez, we had to be strict. We decided to make site visits more often to check on everything.

“Alright,” Engr. Lu replied.

The conversation ended right away. We bade goodbye and I proceeded to check more of the emails that I received.

It’s almost lunch time but I don't know where to eat. I could go out and find any resto to eat at, I could also have my food delivered. I don't know what exactly I'm looking for but my brain seems to be looking for something certain. Yes, it’s my brain that’s thinking about food so much. I couldn't figure out what I want to eat.

After reading and replying to some emails, I exited the email tab and searched for a nice resto. I'm used to eating alone so that's fine with me.

I found a newly opened cafe just around the area. It

    I just wanted to leave. I suddenly lost my care about the food I ordered. And I lost my appetite. I just wanted to leave right away, especially now that Zandrey is approaching. There was nothing on his face. In fact, he was smiling at me. I wanted to wipe off that smile. It irritates me. “Hi Ai,” he greeted with a smile. I didn’t invite him to my table, but he took a seat. “Fancy seeing you here,” he even added. I wanted to strangle him. How dare him come near me after I see him with someone else? Yes, I know I don't have the right. My rights probably don't compare to the rights of that girl he's with. But god, we made it clear to each other that we’ll inform one another when we’re dating someone. So we can stop. The hospital's just nearby and I should have thought he could be here. But he said he’s on duty! I never thought he would be here. He must have realized I was not talking to him since he came to my table. And he must have seen in my face that I don’t like being her

    Zandrey was quick to carry me to the sofa. I fdidn't complain, and just replied to his kisses. It was like all the bad feelings I was feeling earlier were thrown out the window.He put me down to the sofa, his lips still not leaving mine. I opened my mouth to accommodate his tongue and it explored my mouth. The bad feeling I was having earlier was suddenly gone. The way he’s kissing me made me just forget everything.“Z-zandrey…” I moaned his name.“Let me make up for making you feel that way, Ai,” he whispered.He removed my blazer and I was left with just my tank top. It was easy for him to rain kisses on my shoulders now that my blazer’s gone.I was sitting on the sofa while he’s kneeling on the floor. My hands were on the side of his head because I initially didn't know where to put my hands. So i just held onto his shoulders so we could deepen our kiss. His hands, on the other hand, were busy exploring my stomach.He then reached for the edge of my top and quickly pulled it out o

    Three days before my birthday, Daisy and I decided to just go with our plan of a simple dinner with the family and some close friends and a beach getaway on the weekend. Daisy found a resto and a beach that we can go to. It was basically all her doing. Maybe she just has nothing else to do.I already told everyone who wants to be present on my birthday for a simple dinner. I told everyone there’s no need to bring gifts, that their presence is already enough. But when we came to the restaurant, everyone have gifts to give. I could only count the people that are here in the restaurant. My Dad was there, Andrei, Auntie Gina, and my Mom. Thaniel’s here too together with Dominic and Daisy. Zandrey said he'll follow. “I should sit next to Daddy,” Andrei said. He's sitting beside me while Zandrey is in front of us. But he wants to sit with his dad. Mommy just switched seats with him so the two can sit together, while me and my Mom sat together.“Happy birthday, Aira,” she greeted. She kiss

    My eyes were wide while I was looking at the small jewelry box Zandrey is holding. And he must have seen the reaction on my face because he chuckled. “This is not an engagement ring, Ai,” he said softly. “If you want one, I’ll give you one,” he added. It sounded like a joke to me so I just treated it like a joke. “What's that, then?” I asked. Why would he give me a jewelry box that looks like an engagement box or something. He must want me to have a heart attack on my birthday. He chuckled once again. He opened the box himself and showed me what's inside. “I remember Mommy Emily giving me a necklace before. It was during the time when we accepted her into the family, when I accepted her as my Mom,” he mumbled. “I remember her saying this belong to her daughter. She wanted to give it to me because she thought she lost you forever.” I don’t know where this talk is going but I have a feeling this was going somewhere emotional. I could feel the heating up of my face and the

    I don't even know what to feel after hearing what the doctor said. I sure have experienced some extreme mood swings the past days, even craving any food, but I thought those were all just signs of PMS. I never thought about being pregnant. I was confident I won’t get pregnant because I’ve been consistent in taking my birth control pills. When the nurse handed me the pregnancy test kit, I stared at it. I don’t know what will happen after I pee on this stick. It could be positive, could be negative. A lot could happen. I still don't know what to feel. Zandrey sat on the chair beside my bed. He was just looking at me, watching the reaction on my face. “Do you need help with that?” I looked at him. “What if it’s positive?” I asked. I felt a tear fell down from my eyes. He wiped away that tear.. “That’s okay, right? I'm here... I'm here now,” he answered. I tried to look away but another tear fell from my eyes. I really don't know what to feel about this situation.

    Zandrey’s POV TW: Abuse, Violence I was almost running late for my next class. But Jed and Dominic got in my way, inviting to join a "group date". To avoid prolonging the conversation, I just agreed to go. There's no harm in it. Besides, I might benefit from it. In whichever way, I'm not sure. I passed by the Library since it was the closest route going to our building. But it was quite packed with students so I bumped into a girl. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry," I quickly said. I helped her pick up her things that fell on the floor. When I looked up, I almost stopped. Man, she's beautiful. Sure, our university is huge and there's a lot of pretty girls around but this woman here... there's something different in her. But as much as I want to do a meet and greet, I can't. I'm already late. "It's okay," she replied. "I'm really sorry, Miss," I said again as I gave her her books. "It's really okay." I apologize once again before walking away. If only I was not running late... B

    Zandrey’s POV I don’t want to agree on the arrangement Aira wanted. I’m not just after her body. I want to be in her life, to be in our son’s life, to be included in her priorities. But I can't just push that thought, can I? I want her for myself, but I don’t want her to think I’m selfish. In every decision I make since we met again, she was in my head. Every step I make, it’s her that I consider. I just wanted to win her back. But destiny has been so playful. We see each other, but she doesn't like seeing me. But still, giving up on her was not in my plans. I’ll do everything I can to win her trust again. If it means waiting for her until I turn seventy, then I am okay with that. She’s worth the wait, so I am willing to wait. Giving her pleasure was so important for me. It’s always her over anything. Even if I don't get mine, I'm fine, as long as she’s satisfied, and I make her moan for my name, I’m good with that. Nothing feels better than that. Everytime she scratches

    The thought that I am pregnant didn't register in my head right away. I still can’t believe it and the idea’s still out there, in the abyss of my thoughts and is refusing to be acknowledged. We ate the ice cream together, but that was just it. We barely spoke a word, and I don’t know what to feel about it. I know Zandrey is also thinking about a lot of things right now. When he left, I was left there with my thoughts. It was surrounding me that I almost thought I was drowning. I tried swimming and then gave up. And then there it is… It finally sinked n. I am pregnant. Andrei’s going to have a sibling. Dad will have another grandchild. Daisy will have another niece or nephew. God, Daisy… I don’t know why but I suddenly felt guilty about getting pregnant unexpectedly. I’m not sure how it happened. I was prompt with my pills… or was I? I know it happens, but it’s crazy to have happened to me. We were careful, since we started the agreement. Were his sperms that strong? Does t

    Zandrey should know because he's a doctor. I wanted to ask him, but I suddenly felt conscious. Even if we've done it many times, I still have an ounce of shyness in me.I saw him walk towards me. He's carrying our son in his arms. I saw how the kid ran to him earlier and how excitement filled his face when he saw his father. And now, the kid was talking non-stop while they were on the way towards me, yet Zandrey's gaze remains on me.He has that usual smile on his face. He looks so carefree and problem-free. He's always glowing. I feel like the world is really unfair because those who has stressful jobs are the ones more glowing. Zandrey is a walking example. He's busy with his job and does not have much time for himself, but he still manages to smile like that.He radiates so much positivity, and I just realized how much I needed someone like him in my life. I feel like we compliment well. Even when we just knew each other, we already clicked. I know he's a good person and has a good

    "Are you joining in the van with us?" Daisy asked. They're currently loading all the stuff we need to the van. Dominic will be driving. All their stuff are already inside. They just dropped by here to get the stuff we will bring. After that, they'll go to Mommy Emily to get her. As for Zandrey, I'm not sure. He's not here yet. "I'm not sure," I answered. They did almost everything, while I just sat there watching them. I wanna help but I know lifting heavy stuff isn't for me, especially right now. I get clumsy sometimes so I should move as less as possible. "Where's Zandrey?" She added. He has work last night. I just don't know if his shift is over. His schedule often changes and he wasn't able to inform me. "I also don't know," I replied. I kind of feel sad that he's not here yet, but I cannot do anything about it. "Can you give me some of that?" I added. She was eating some chips and she was eating it with gusto that I felt the need to eat some as well. She handed me the pack. I

    We weren't able to push through our plan of going to the beach after my birthday. When I knew I was pregnant, I told everyone we can't go because I was not feeling well. Maybe I lied well in that part because they never doubted me.However, maybe we were bound to go one way or another, because Daisy decided to set another date. And this time, I was not able to invent a lie, unfortunately. "This will look good on you!" Daisy mumbled. She handed me the hanger with a pair of swim suit. I frowned at her. I shouldn't wear something like that. I'm not sure how visible my bump is. We're currently at the mall, buying stuff for our beach getaway which wil happen this weekend. She wanted to buy some new stuff for herself so I just tagged along. She ended up choosing things for the both of us. "I don't like that," I said. "This really suits you," she insisted. I shook my head and tried to look for something else. I don't want something so revealing. "What do you want?" She asked as she put

    Since we haven’t told anyone yet about the pregnancy, we were very careful when it comes to doing things. He wants me to stay at home for now, and maybe work from home too. But I don't want to. People will definitely wonder why I’m not doing my normal routine. So here I am, in the office and doing all the things I’m supposed to do. I even drove myself coming here while Zandrey drove Andrei to school. “Good morning, Ma’am Aira,” Jelyn greeted when she saw me coming. I smiled at her and gestured to her to follow me to my office. This time, I was not wearing heels and was walking as carefully as possible. I'm still afraid I'll trip and fall. Of course, I don’t want that to happen so I’m being extra careful. Jelyn then proceeded to tell me all the things that I need to do today. That includes some meetings and site visits. But I declined the site visits. It's too risky for now. “Can you ask my Dad if he can do the site visit instead?” I asked. “Yes, Ma'am. I'll inform him

    I’d like to think that this is my pregnancy hormones craving for Zandrey, craving for his presence and all of him. I’m definitely not the clingy type but I have this feeling that I just want to see him all the time. I want to feel his presence all the time. I want to hear his voice all the time. I’m getting used to this feeling of wanting him to be just around all the time. It has been two weeks since we knew about my pregnancy. I haven't said anything to anyone just yet. Even Zandrey hasn't said anything too. It’s just the two of us who know I’m carrying his child. We have already been to the OB-Gyne. I was so nervous. I was reminded of the time I also went to the OB-Gyne when I was pregnant with Andrei and Andres. I was also very nervous that time. But unlike now, I have someone I can hold when I’m trembling in fear. Before, I used to go to my appointments with Dad or Mommy Miranda. But being accompanied by Zandrey hits different. The entire time I was being checked by the d

    I feel like I look like a kid waiting for her parents to come home. I was sitting on the balcony of my room. I could see the gate from up here and I could see anyone coming. I sat there patiently, waiting for a car to arrive- waiting for Zandrey to arrive. I already cleaned myself after puking. I'm already wearing fresh clothes. I don't want to go downstairs just yet. I wanna know he's already there before I go down. While I was waiting for him, I was also thinking about a lot of things. I was thinking about when I should tell the people close to me about my pregnancy. I need the perfect timing. Mommy Miranda just passed away and Daisy lost her baby. I'm really not sure if it's okay to tell them just yet. I really have to think about it. I'm also not sure how Andrei would react. The kid would be thrilled, I can imagine. But I also don't know if I should tell him already. I probably need Zandrey’s perspective on this. While thinking about things, I saw Zandrey’s car parked o

    "Daisy," I called. She asked me to meet her at a restaurant just near my shop. I don’t know what’s going on. She didn’t tell me anything, but I know something is bothering her. Her calling out of the blue and asking me to hang out somewhere definitely tells me something. "Oh Ai," she murmured. She motioned me to sit in front of her so I did. "Why did you call me again? Is something wrong?" I asked the moment I sat down. She smiled at me. I’m just not sure if it was a genuine or forced one. She suddenly became hard to read. Before, I could read her by just looking at her face. It seems she has become better at hiding what she really feels. I don’t know if that’s a good thing. "I just needed someone to talk to,” she answered and then she stifled a sigh. I suddenly feel bad. I don’t know just yet what’s really the reason why she’s like this, but I already feel so bad. "Tell me what's wrong," I grumbled. "A lot of weird things are just happening in my life lately,” she replied and it
