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

    "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

    Months swing by so fast. It gets slow when you're feeling lonely, but when you're in glee, it's like the clock is in a race.I was having all the fun while Zandrey is here with us. He's so good at taking care of me. Everyone cares a little extra of me after knowing we're having another baby. It's strange, but I admit that I like it. I'm getting used to it and it makes me sad that it's almost ending. But I'm certain it's a different kind of joy when the new baby is finally here.All of them are so excited to meet the baby. So when we decided to finally have the gender reveal, everybody was so excited. They couldn't wait to know the sex of the baby. Even I can't wait. I've had two boys, and I'm secretly wishing it's a girl. But whatever the sex is, I know for sure that we'll gonna love her/him so much."I bet it's a girl," Dominic guessed. It was clearly his guess because he's wearing a pink dress shirt.We are still waiting for all the guests to arrive. Daisy and Dom came first so we'r

    I woke up to a quite heavy morning sickness. Weird stuff were going on inside my stomach that I just felt like puking. So the moment I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was stand up quickly and run to the bathroom as fast as I could.Zandrey probably heard me because a few moments later, I saw him following me. I looked at him for a brief time, unable to say a word because I was pre-occupied with my situation. He gathered all my hair for me, allowing me to focus more on my thing. That way, I didn't worry about my hair getting in my way.I feel bad because he's supposed to be sleeping as he only slept for about an hour or so. He just got home from his graveyard shift. But even if he was tired, he's still helping me. I realized just how easier really things are ever since he came here.Just like what I'm supposed to do, I still stayed in bed rest. I avoided work or doing heavy chore as what the doctor instructed. I can only do those things if we're in the clear already. I admit I m

    I just watched the two of them unsmilingly. The woman was being so touchy and I have this urge to slap her hands away. They were in public, yet they seem to have their own world, and it made my head ache. "You know, we should catch up some time. How about coffee? When will you be free?" I heard her ask. I don't whether she's oblivious of my presence or she's choosing not to acknowledge me. There's a pregnant with Zandrey, but her eyes seem to only capture him entirely. It was so annoying. She was annoying. "I'll head first," I told Zandrey. I didn't wait for him to reply and just went ahead and left them. I just couldn't stand being around them. I was already a few meters away when I realized I don't have the keys to the car. Zandrey was the one who drove us as I'm not allowed to drive. I could feel my temper boiling up. I looked back at them with a frown. They were still talking. Actually, it was the girl who kept on talking. Her hand was on Zandrey's arm. It looks as

    Since I wanted Zandrey close to me, we decided to stay in one room. Actually, it was dad who suggested it. He said it would ease his concerns if I have someone with me in my room. Both Dad and Andrei are upstairs, while I'm here on the first floor. Zandrey was busy taking out his clothes from his luggages. I was just sitting on my bed, watching him fixed his clothes. I already emptied a closet for him. It was weird. I have mixed feelings while looking at him unpack his stuff in a room we'll be sharing together until I give birth. But I'm quite sure the baby's happy. For the first time, I'll be living with a guy. I mean, sure, we live in the same house with my Dad and our son. But a guy who's not blood-related staying with us is definitely new to me. Sometimes, I regret not dating around when I was younger. Maybe if I did, I'd have more experience ehen it comes to men and I should have known better. But i chose to prioritize my studies and work. And well, the twins came so I really

    Everybody now knows about the baby and it was indeed a good news for them. They even started planning for a gender reveal party, baby shower, and whatnot. But for now, we decided to have dinner together- an intimate one where all of the people close to my heart are present.It was just a small dinner and it was just really with family and friends. I was definitely looking forward to it because this time we don'y have any secrets to keep. Daisy and Dom just arrived. They brought a cake with the message, "Congratulations Ai and Zandrey!" My Mom also brought a pan of her baked lasagna. Auntie Gina prepared all of my favorite food.It is a happy night. I couldn't count how many times I smiled just tonight."What about you, Andrei? What do you want your sibling to be? A girl or a boy?" Daisy asked the kid. We were all gathered in the living room, just talking about things. We just finished our dinner and we're having the dessert here at the living room. I was eating the pie I asked Zandre

    I don't know until when can I dodge that question. When no one asks me, it's me who questions myself. It was an easy question, yet answering it was hard. Being asked if I love him is something I think I will never be prepared for. I cannot find the words to describe what I feel for him yet. Or maybe I do. Maybe I'm just being in denial. But when will I ever be sure of what I really feel when everything's still clouded with memories of the past? I tried to look away from my Mom. The ways she stares at me shows she is trying to read me. And I'm scared. I'm still afraid of the things that might happen in the coming days. Even when Zandrey says he loves me, I really still cannot bring myself to easily believe. It can still change. Maybe he loves me now. But the real question is... until when? And why would he love me? Do I have something he's looking for in a woman? Do I possess something so extraordinary? I'm just a mediocre architect girl when we met. We live in the same world, but

    I felt Zandrey squeeze my hand while we were waiting for Dad. We arranged a dinner for us- Zandrey, Mommy Emily, Dad, Andrei, and me. We decided to tell it first to them then we'll think about how to tell it to Daisy.Zandrey and I are sitting side by side on the table. I could feel the erratic beating of my heart. I know Dad won't be mad as I'm already an adult. But I still won't feel uneasy unless I've told him. "What's this dinner for?" Dad asked. We just started eating, and I knew he's been meaning to ask it since he came. Why would we invite him out of the blue, he must wondered."Uhh..."I rehearsed what I was gonna say to my Dad a hundred times. I already knew what exactly to say and how to say it. But the moment he asked, I feel as if I lost the ability to speak and my mind can't seem to process anything at all."Mommy, I want the chicken," Andrei suddenly said. I couldn't even move, so Zandrey got the chicken for him instead. "You good?" I heard Zandrey ask the kid."Yes, D

    I woke up to a white surrounding. I was lying on a bed and I still feel so weak. When I looked around, I saw Mommy Emily looking at me. Even Zandrey was staring at me, probably waiting for me to open my eyes. "How are you feeling?" Mom asked. I tried to get up dlowly and Zandrey was quick to help me. "You were advised to be on bed rest, Ai," Zandrey mumbled. "Does she know?" I asked, pertaining to Mom. I remember how she was with me when I passed out. For sure it was also her who rushed me to the hospital. "I know," she answered. There was a smile on her face when she went closer to me. She fixed the few hairs that covered my face. "Don't worry. If you want me to keep it a secret, I will definitely keep it to myself." "And the baby?" My heart began beating so fast inside my chest. I quickly shifted my gaze to Zandrey. "How's the baby?" I could even hear the trembling of my own voice. "The baby's fine," he said softly. "But you have to be on bed rest for the time being, Ai. You

    Our weekend was quite eventful. After the beach getaway, we spent a few hours at Mommy Miranda and Andres' graves. But it's really true that when your happy, it seems like time passes by so fast. Monday came quickly and I almost don't want to get up from my bed. I was tired from all the activities last weekend that I just wanted to stay all day in bed. But I still have work and I can't just not go to work. I have responsibilities. So even if I feel a little heavy, I got up and prepared myself for work. If I could just use my pregnancy as excuse, I would, but I can't. Nobody else knows about my pregnancy yet aside from Zandrey and I. "Good morning," Jelyn greeted upon seeing me entering. I smiled at her in return and let her follow me to the office. I need to know what are the things that I need to do today. But I have to sit first. I kinda feel nauseous. Jelyn then proceeded to telling me the tasks for the day. "Are you okay, Miss Aira?" she inquired. I looked up at her. My
