Tobi continued to be busy with the things he’s doing for the company but would make sure that he would have time for me and the baby.

“Will you just be staying at home today?” He asked.

I nodded.

“Yeah, but if something comes on. 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? Why are you always here?” I asked them to take a seat in the lounging area near the backyard.

Rachel smiled at me.

    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. Alright?” Maria said.I both nodded at them as I calmed myself down.Minutes la

    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

    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

    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

    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

    “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.

    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. I still keep on thinking what could be the reason why Calvin didn’t show up on my birthday yesterday.That wasn’t the first time he did that.Curiosity keeps on bugging me.But why do I keep on forgiving him?I looked at my wristwatch, he’s my boyfriend, yes, but why does my world revolve around him. Yes, I love him but is this still, right?I took a deep breath, went on fixing the dining table. I wonder if this dinner will be memorable.I almost fell from the chair in shock.It was Calvin, he was hugging me from the back.

    What happened yesterday with my encounter with one of the few people who knows about my previous relationship with Calvin, makes the world smaller.I told Tobi I wanted to rush the wedding as soon as possible because I was scared of people eventually knowing that the child I'm having is Calvin.“What are your plans for today?” He asked.I turned my gaze towards him and smiled.“Nothing much, I might just stay at home for the rest of the day.” I replied.Tobi nodded before finally wearing his office coat.“Alright, inform me if you’re going somewhere.” He said before exiting the bedroom. 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

    I gulped seeing how he stared at me.“Thank you,” Tobi uttered then smiled at me. “Why are you giving me things? 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. It’s just some delusional human being trying to create chairs.” He said. Tobi’s Dad nodded before going back inside his study room. 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
