“Cortes, Andrea.”

I immediately looked back to my professor. How annoying this morning can be, I already know what she was going to say. 

It’s been weeks and still, I haven’t seen or heard anything from your parents.” Miss Dantes said. 

I could only smile at her because there’s nothing I can do about it. If my parents won’t come, they won’t really come.

My parents were the only ones left with the notice and still, they haven’t made any time for me. Our College graduation is getting near and the admin needed to talk to them about me but they won’t make time for me. After Miss Dantes called me, she started discussing the new topic while I kept on thinking why my parents are like that. 

But instead of drowning myself in the question, I focused on the topic Miss Dantes was discussing on the front. 

I’m almost there, I’m about to graduate. I just have to suck this up and finally leave this chapter of my life and before Miss Dantes can call me again, I hurriedly drag Rachel out of the room.

“Andrea,” 

“Why?” I asked but Rachel didn’t respond anymore.

We went straight to the school park. Maria, our other friend is already there waiting for us. When we arrived and noticed us, she closed her book.

“Have you been waiting for so long?” I said and sat down beside her. I took out the lunch I prepared in the apartment because I don’t buy food at the cafeteria anymore, the last time I bought food there I ended up in the hospital and food poisoning was the findings.

She shook her head. “Not that long. Anyway, did Miss Dantes talk to you already? She was asking about your parents a while ago.” She said.

“Tsk. How many times have I told her that my parents won’t come, they don’t have time for these kinds of things.” 

“Well, she wouldn't understand since just the two of us, Maria and I, know your situation.” Rachel said.

I rolled my eyes at Rachel. 

“Just keep your mouth shut, I’m sure, she’ll get tired from asking, and eventually she’ll give up.” 

We continued on eating our lunch when my phone rang. 

“And the devil shall call,” Maria whispered. 

I chuckled a little, they both hate my boyfriend. Whenever they see or hear my boyfriend their blood boils.

I stood up and distanced myself from them.

“Love? Why are you calling?” I asked.

“Where are you?” He asked.

“I’m in the school park,” I said. “Do you need anything?”

“Are both of your friends there?” he said with annoyance. Their hatred for each other is mutual. The three of them can’t stand each other and sometimes I tend to lie for both of them since it’s for their own good.

“Yes,” I said.

He uttered curses which I can hear clearly. “Love, can you come over here?” He whispered. I felt my knees get weak as he says the word ‘love’

I took a deep breath. “Where are you?” I asked, then immediately packed my things once I got his answer. Maria and Rachel both looked at me but I ignored their stares.

“If I were you, Andrea, I would break up with him. You’re fucking beautiful and yet you allow yourself to be a secret girlfriend? Are you nuts?” Rachel said.

I just smiled at them and went to Calvin’s location. When I got there, he quickly leaned me against the wall. He kissed me right away before I couldn’t even say hi or hello. 

“Wait,” I said in between our kisses. He was holding my waist with one hand while the other was on the back of my blouse.

His forehead creased. “What?”

“Someone might see us,.” I said but just like before, Calvin ignored what I said.

I opened my mouth to let him in. I let him kiss me, touch me. 

What do I have to lose? Nothing, I already gave my everything to him.

I basically gave him the power to kill me.

But I love this guy even if sometimes I find our relationship hard because it’s a secret. I don’t care. One day, he’ll be proud of our relationship and everyone will know. When that happens, I’ll be the happiest girl alive.

I didn’t realize my leg was wrapped around his waist already. Both of our breathing was getting deeper. Our eyes filled with need and we both know only the other could satisfy this.

His hands went down on me. He smiled. “As always, always ready for me,” he said with a smirk on his face. 

I blushed. 

I don’t know why I am still being shy with him when it comes to these things. We’ve done this a few times already but I always felt different when he’s inside me. 

He got the foil from his pocket and rolled it onto him. He hooked my leg around his waist and in seconds, he’s inside me already.

“Fuck Fuck Fuck,” He repeatedly said while thrusting inside me. I was suddenly holding tight on his hair as I pressed my body even close to him.

He was thrusting so hard that I felt I wouldn't be able to walk properly after this.

“I fucking love you, love,” he said in between thrusts. Even if I wanted to answer, I couldn’t do it because I can’t seem to find the right words to utter. I was lost in the sensation I was feeling, I felt like I was drowning. 

I didn’t want it to stop.

And when I saw that look on his face, I came as well.

“So lunch?” he said as he cleaned me up.

We went straight to his car, heavily tired from what we just did. Calvin and I have been together for almost 3 years but no one still knows about our relationship. Except for my friends who don’t like Calvin. 

“Where do you want to eat?” He asked.

“I already ate,” I replied.

“But I made you tired,” He said with a grin. I hit him on his shoulders but he caught my hand. He put my hand on his mouth and kissed it. “Come on, love. Be a good girl and have lunch with me.”

This is the reason why even though I’m hurting I can never leave him. Even though I’m a secret, I still try to hold on and not let go because every pain is an exchange of happiness.

“Alright, but I have classes at 2:30. I need to be back at school.” I said and he kissed my hand again.

We went to a restaurant quite far from the city and school. We’re always like this, hiding for the reasons I don’t know.

“Do you have plans tomorrow?” I asked him. 

“I don’t know yet, why?”

“It’s my birthday tomorrow,”

He looked shocked. “Fuck, it slipped my mind. What do you want to do tomorrow?” He said.

I shook my head and answered. “Just be with me tomorrow, I’m happy with that.”

He smiled at me and said. “I’ll make it up to you tomorrow,” he said and I held on to his promise.

We finished eating and went back to school immediately. When I got there, Miss Dantes immediately stopped me from walking.

“Cortes,” she said. “I really need to talk to your parents. It’s been weeks and still, I haven't got any response from them.” 

Because I was in such a good mood, I told her. “Alright, Miss Dantes. I’ll contact my parents and I’ll give you an update tomorrow.” I was walking back to our classroom. Classes are fast since the 2nd semester is almost about to end, there aren’t too many requirements yet so students are chill most of the time. 

After classes, I quickly went home to the townhouse that my parents bought for me. I’m the only one here. It’s okay because it’s not too big, not too small, just enough. I went to bed early because I wanted to be presentable tomorrow. I don’t want to have eye bags only for my birthday. 

Today, I want everything to be perfect.

Besides my birthday, it’s Calvin and I's anniversary. I went straight to our classroom, listen to all of the discussions. I wanted to make the time go faster, if there was a way, I’ll do it.

When the clock hit 5:30, I almost ran out of the classroom. I went straight to the school park because that’s where I’ll meet him. 

I texted Calvin, informing him I was in the place already. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. 

Minutes and hours passed, Calvin still hasn’t come.

I looked at the clock, it was 7:30 already but he was still nowhere in sight. I tried to call him but no one answered.

My tears started to fall, I’ve had enough suffering from this relationship. He never heard anything from me, I didn’t complain, I kept it all in me. 

Today is my birthday, all I asked was to be with him for today and yet he’s not here.

For once, I wanted to feel how love works when both of you are fighting for the relationship.

    I stayed for another hour, I still waited for him. Hoping he will come but Calvin didn’t come. Tears started to fall again.“Here!” Suddenly a handkerchief appeared on my face.It was Tobi, one of my classmates.“Wipe your tears away.” He said while sounding annoyed. “You look like a fucking idiot.” He added.Tobi is the guy, who’s hot, cool, famous, and cold as fuck.“How long have you been?” I asked.He rolled his eyes and said, “Yeah. I have been here from the very beginning.” He turned around and started to walk away.“Tobi, wait.” He turned around

    While we’re in the condo, I can’t seem to pacify my feelings right now.

    When I woke up I was so shocked to find myself in a different room. I immediately looked at myself to see if I still had clothes and thank god I was still wearing the same clothes. I tried to stand up but stopped when I felt the handover came in, my whole fucking head hurts. Damn this hangover. “Good Morning,” I almost jumped out of bed because of shock. “Tobi?” I was about to speak again but he threw a paper bad at me. “What’s this?” “Clothes.” I took a peek at what is inside, my eyes widened when I saw undergarments. “There’s the CR.

    I felt the world collapsed.“He’s what?”Tobi stared at me. “He’s married, Andrea.”I turned my gaze to Calvin, his eyes were watering.At that moment, I did calculations on myself. He wanted no know to know about our relationship, he hid me. He never posted pictures of me.I closed my eyes for a second.“Calvin, please tell me Tobi’s lying. He’s not telling the truth right?”I was praying for him to say no, to say that Tobi’s making things up. He can’t be married, he can’t have a wife because he promised to me that I’ll be the person he’ll

Sometimes he would even stay until the next morning, hoping to see me.“What’s with the sullen look?”I glanced at Rachel.I smiled at her. “I look sad but I’m okay, a little bit more space and I’ll eventually reach the destination.”Maria hugged me.Rachel stood up. “Why are we making this a drama, since there are no classes for the rest of the day. Let’s go shopping.”Maria and I laughed, before we could respond to Rachel’s suggestion she dragged us with her.When we arrived at the Mall, we

    Morning came and rumors flew so fast. The moment I stepped foot on the school premises, eyes were watching me and added to the fact that Tobi is walking by my side.“Why did you have to go with me?”He looked at me with bored eyes. “Who decided to sleep again in our house?”I suddenly looked around, roamed my eyes around just in case someone heard what he said. I glanced at him again and took notice of the wood near his lip and cheek.“Are you okay?” I asked.He nodded without looking at me.I was about to speak again when someone yelled my name and it was Rachel.“Andrea.”I turned my gaze at Rachel, and she was running towards me.“Bitch, I came from your apartment. No one is there, where did you sleep?” She asked and looked at me intently.I remained quiet and as if on cue she looked at the guy standing beside me, it was Tobi.“Oookay. You don’t have to t

    The whole ride going to my apartment was extremely quiet, Tobi didn’t speak neither did I.My parents insisted that I should ride with them but I said no.I wanted to be left alone for the night and also talk to Tobi.“We’re here.” He said.I faced him.“Did you know about this?” I asked.He didn’t speak, he remained quiet.I pressed my lips together.“Tobi, I’m asking you. Did you know about this arranged marriage?”Tobi still didn’t speak.“Tobi!” I yelled his name.How can he remain quiet in this kind of situation?It’s frustrating.He looked at me.“If I knew, what could possibly happen? What will change?” He asked.“Even if we're classmates. If you knew about this beforehand, you could have at least told me.”He gripped the steering wheel so tight.“Andrea, listen to me. If you thin

    For the next few days, I didn’t bother going out of the house. I was scared of going outside, and the fact that I might bump into Calvin out of nowhere.“Will you be going out today?” He asked.I immediately shook my head in response. “No, I’ll just stay at home.” I replied before laying back again in bed.These days I’ve been experiencing way more painful backaches because of the pregnancy hormones.“Do you plan on just staying at home for the rest of your pregnancy?” Tobi asked as he wore his office coat.I nodded willingly.Tobi then pulled me out of the bed, I ended up on his chest. Then there it was again, the beating feeling of my heart.“Get dressed.” He said. “I’ll bring you with me to the office today.” Tobi said before pushing me inside the walk-in closet.Even though I didn’t want to come with him, I had no choice but to obey him. He won’t stop bugging me until I say ‘yes’ to his plans.When we reached the building, some of the employees were standing outside the building p

    Who would have thought that Tobi would bring a smile onto my face. I would smile a little every time he would ask the salesperson about this certain furniture for the nursery room.“Do you have this in a neutral color?” He asked.“Yes.” the salesperson replied.Tobi smiled then moved his gaze at me. “What do you think? Do you think we should get this now?” He asked.I nodded at him and he smiled at me.“We’ll get this one.” Tobi then continued on browsing that nursery section.We were both quietly roaming around the shopping mall when someone hastily approached us. I looked at Tobi confused,“How have you been, Tobi?” He asked.I pressed both of my lips together then I felt Tobi tighten his hold onto my waist, he then smiled at the guy who is right in front of us.“I’m fine bro.” He replied. “What are you doing here?” Tobi asked.“I’m checking out the stores, it’s been a while since the last time I became hands on with the company.” He explained before turning his gaze at me. “This mi

    My forehead creased upon seeing two queen beds in the master’s bedroom. When Tobi entered the master’s bedroom.I moved my gaze towards him.“What exactly is the meaning of this?” I asked, confused.He looked at me confused.“What do you mean?” Tobi asked.I pressed both of my lips together. “I mean, why are we having two beds in the master's bedroom? Are we supposed to have separate beds?”Tobi’s forehead creased even more but he eventually nodded then explained. “We both know that we didn’t want to get married to each other and I totally understand that, that’s why I purposely told the interior designer to put two beds in the master’s bedroom.”“Why?” I asked.He looked shocked after hearing what I just said.“What do you mean, why? He asked back as he put books on the shelves.I sat on one of the beds and stared at him.“How can we make this marriage work, if you're purposely having your distance from me?” I asked while moving my gaze away from him.We were both quiet for the next

    When I got near Tobi, he’s forehead creased upon looking at me. He pressed both of his lips together then pulled me into his embrace.He then whispered onto my ears.“What the hell are you wearing right now?” Tobi asked.I just shrugged at him.“I don’t know, this was on the hanger for the reception outfit.” I simply replied. He closed both of his eyes for a brief moment before whispering again onto my ears.“It’s very low, I could see the guys peeking right at your boobs. Who the fuck designed this gown?” He asked as if he was losing his patience.I moved my gaze towards the crowd and saw Tobi’s friends staring at the both of us.“Your mother, she was the one who designed and chose this gown.” I replied as both of our parents walked their way towards us.I plastered a big smile.Tobi then uttered a few words about the long gown I was wearing to his mother. Specifically the fact that he didn’t like the design of it.“Mother, why on earth would you design this kind of dress? Have you f

    Today is the day, the big day came and everyone was so excited. I was fidgeting since I couldn’t handle the pressure I’m having right now.“Can you please calm the fuck down? Tobi won’t be the one running away from you, we’re both more worried about you, we think you’ll be the one running away.” Rachel uttered.I glared at her.“I don’t have any plans on running away. I’m scared that something might happen unexpectedly.” I replied.She chuckled then fixed the end of the wedding gown, laying it down flat on the floor. The wedding gown is so long that I had to literally wear it inside the church.I couldn’t ride the car while I was wearing the wedding gown, I won’t be able to fit inside the wedding car.“Just take a deep breath, you don’t have to think about anything else.

I’ll inform you.” I replied back to him. Tobi nodded before kissing me in the forehead and taking his leave.He’s been doing that since we started to be more open with each other and I find it cute sometimes for no reason at all.Our wedding is also getting near four days from now.My mouth agape seeing how Maria and Rachel showed up once again in the doorsteps, carrying all these kinds of fruit baskets.“Don’t you both have jobs or work to attend to?

I watched as he left the room and closed the bedroom doors.Minutes later, when I got downstairs surprisingly Tobi was still there having breakfast. I joined by sitting right beside him.Both of his parents were having breakfast also.“Good Morning, Andrea.” Tobi’s Mom greeted me.I smiled at

Do you have plans to run away from me, is that it?” He jokingly said.I rolled my eyes.“What are you saying, I'm giving you things because I'm trying to accommodate your presence in my life now,” I explained.He nodded then continued on eating the food that I had brought while I just remained to stare at him.“I heard you went out with your mother today, did you go with the enchanted them I told you about?” Tobi asked.I nodded.“Yeah, it’s funny actually,” I said.His forehead creased at me.“What’s funny?” Tobi asked, confused.I chuckled. “It’s because I was actually thinking about the enchanted theme and personally I wanted to have that theme but I needed your response first and thank god, you choose the enchanted theme too

    I gulped nervously because of what's happening right now but before I could respond Tobi came back inside.“There’s nothing outside, Dad.

I fell down on the floor immediately after hearing the door close at Tobi’s Dad study room.“Are you okay?” Tobi asked and I nodded at him.I closed my eyes for a bit before trying to stand up. He immediately went near me when I was about to lose balance yet again.“Let’s have you eat your dinner first before taking a rest.” He said then carried me towards the dining table in bridal style. I blushed when the house helpers started giggling when they saw both of us.He then put me down and asked the house helper for a hot soup and a bowl of rice. “I won’t be eating rice tonight. I’m still full from the food we ate hours ago.” I said and Tobi immediately shook his head at me.“No, you have t
