Alejandro Pov...
I'm unaware I am alone left at the hotel. After that incident, we left Manila to meet an unexpected client here in Baguio City with Terry as our convoy. Bored and couldn't find that woman on any social media I went to Rex's room only to be shocked and saw them together with Terry. They both look at me shocked and red as a tomato."What happened?" I asked them."Nothing. While you were thinking of her until we went to Wright Park unfortunately it was so packed and decided to come back." Rex explained uncomfortably."Ah! I'm bored! Can we go down and have some beer moment? Terry we only have you once in a while. Calls for a celebration of our brotherhood." I suggested. They exchange gazes before responding."Sure!" They both uttered."Hey! Are you two mocking me about what happened? Did you tell him?" I asked Rex doubtful. Their gestures are different."No, we're not! Who knows that woman will be yours forever. She will be the one to change you from being the casanova." Rex replied. I laughed grinning at them."It's impossible! How about you guys? Any woman who could change you as well. Rex, it's been five years since Coleen died. Find a new one and same to you Terry. Since when was the last time you got laid after your tiring job." I asked them both and emphasized my last phrase. These two need to move forward."If we find them, why not!" Terry replied elbowing Rex.Rex chuckled shaking his head and walking pass us. I miss this moment maybe we can go hiking again and where?We enjoyed the moment clashing until evening knocked off but before the night waved at us unexpectedly Mr. Paloma entered the restaurant with his team. Rex and I stared at each other surprised.Mr. Paloma seems everywhere. We are here at Club John Hay as recommended to stay or Country Club but a bit far away from the city though it's not a problem with us as we came here for business not pleasure."Rex." I muttered shaking my head. He understood my gestures and immediately tapped Terry's thigh to leave.
"Why?" Terry asked confused."We can drink in our room." I emphasize. "Oh, okay!" He replied. Rex whispered to him why I wanted to leave."Mr. Paloma is here. We can tell you who he is!" Rex whispered. Terry looks at Mr. Paloma and his eyes widen to see him. He immediately grabs his beer and walks ahead of us without looking back surprising Rex and me with his sudden outburst. What is his deal?I look at Rex and he shakes his head unaware what is his reason bolting immediately. We grab ours as well and leave but I stop by at the counter and order drinks and food to be delivered to my room."Terry!" I called him but he didn't look behind him just walking straight until he reached our floor. He pointed out which door are we going to use."In my room!" I pointed out opening and letting them in."Do you know him?" I asked when we were inside the room. He sighed deeply."It's a long story but I don't want to talk about it. Drink is on me!" He suddenly mouthed looking at Rex darkly."Okay! But what's with your deal? Did you two fight?" I asked couldn't grasp their signals. They were uncomfortable together but when their eyes met a wave of unexplained feelings flowed."Us! No, we didn't! Just a misunderstanding but we can settle later." Terry uttered deeply before chugging his beer at once while Rex frowned staring at him. Terry maintained his emotion."Okay! Remember we are friends so whatever was that, please guys settle now before we go back to Cebu." I emphasized that I didn't want to ruin our friendship which lasted for decades. We've seen our highs and lows."We will!" Terry strongly uttered sensing something deep. Is it because he saw Mr. Paloma as well that the ambiance changes?We were already drunk when Terry wanted to leave. I nodded as he booked his hotel a bit far away from us. It is his friend's hotel as well."Hey! Take care! Drive safely, buddy." I mouthed closing my eyes tired. Unaware Rex followed him. Usually, Rex stays in my room when I'm drunk."Can we talk?" I heard Rex ask."Sure but not here!" Terry replied. I wanted to follow them to prevent them from fighting if they had a bad issue to settle." We can talk in my room!" Rex blurted waking me up! Why not here?Rex Pov...Terry is sending signals that id don't understand. Alejandro is not a fool couldn't see what was going on. I wanted to settle the misunderstanding we had this early afternoon. I know I felt strange as well but I know from myself I'm not like that.Suggesting to talk to my room is way better than not catching attention if we misunderstand each other. Shocked gushed through my body when he entered my room and closed it urgently and pushed me to the wall."Terry!" I mumbled stunned. He is bigger than me. He is way bigger than me but we have the same body physique. His muscles were heavier than mine though."Rex!" I uttered deep and dark."Shit! Terry, you are fucking drunk! Grab a sleep and we can talk tomorrow. I'll stay in Aleajdnro's room." I mumbled getting out of his tight grip but he unexpectedly dumped his huge body into me sandwiching my body frame at the wall and his body.He looked at me sternly weighing the facts. I'm still sane and can control myself getting laid by a man. For five years I was happy being single and not available."You will not know if you wouldn't try Rex." He teases grinding his crotch into mine. This is not good. He is into me and he is drunk but I'm not. I already feel his bulging manhood poking on me."Terry you are drunk. Stop it!" I wanted him but he kissed me and bites my lower lip. I'm fucking shocked and frozen couldn't move and speechless.Anita Pov...AFTER TWO MONTHS… "Hey! Anita, what's happening to you, you always feel sleepy! Get up and we need to eat our lunch!" My friend Missy pleaded. "You should go. I'm still sleepy. I want pancakes with my Choco ice cream on top and a tub of rocky road if you don't mind." I mouthed still plopping on my desk. "Again! The other day and yesterday we ate that." Her hysterical response while raising her eyebrows reaching the tenth floor again. "I don't know what's wrong with me Missy, I'm always craving pancakes and ice cream! Foods that I don't usually eat." I felt weird, but shrugged it off. Maybe it's time to change as well."That's why you look fat, but your cravings are weird. Sometimes I think you're pregnant." She said bringing me back to my senses. Why I didn't think of the consequences? Now that she said that it reminded me of the night I lost something."Missy!" I bolted awake, staring at her. She almost dropped her purse shocked at my outburst."What? You're scaring m
Anita Pov...I ask dad to work with grandma in Cebu while having a year's vacation. Since I'm not an employee, I can get a long vacation as long it will benefit the company. Dad didn't ask any further since Grandma has a wide farm in Cebu. I can help to manage, dad wouldn't doubt I'm hiding something from him. I know this is not a good decision, but I have to. I'm already in Cebu waiting for my cousin to pick me up. Since I'm in a hurry to leave Manila I didn't have any chance to talk to Missy. I'll just send her a text though!"Hi babe! I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm already here in Cebu for a year's vacation, but it depends on the situation when I'll come back. I'm still shaking thinking about what will happen when dad finds out about my pregnancy." I texted her."Anitaaaa!!!! I can keep a secret! Why do you have to run immediately?" She whined in her reply. I know that but it's better to be early than be caught."Babe, better than late. Take care of daddy. You'll be her assistant
Alejandro Pov...AFTER A YEAR... I touch my office table and my swivel chair. Oh! How I missed my office, I was in Manila for a month because of a big project that needed to close. Sadly, the project didn't work well, but I got the biggest project of the year. I still plan to find other business partners for the Cebu project since I only got the Makati project."Alejandro, what happened at your meeting in Manila." Dad excitedly asks as he enters the office."Yeah! Dad, it's okay, they were happy with the nice presentation so they signed the contract immediately, but the Cebu partnership was rejected." I said lowering my head while flipping the pen in my fingers. I'm a bit ashamed of not getting that project."Good! Let's celebrate. Have dinner with us at home. You haven't been to our family dinner in a long time. Your mommy will be happy if you can go home now. About the rejected one we can still find some people who really want business with us, don't lose hope son!" Dad explained a
Anita Pov...It's been two years since I left Manila and started to live here in Cebu. Every significant milestone we move was a choice we will never undo but to be proud of. I once think of aborting my child because it was a mistake but after nine months he is living in my womb and a year running around with him, the realization dawn me that he was indeed the joy I will miss if I aborted him. I was damn crazy back then thinking of that.I know I can't hide him forever and he's growing too fast. I can feel the time is already limited. I need to move forward either face my father's wrath or make myself settled. What I have here is temporary. Grandma soon will be tired of me. I smiled admiring Grandma Lou's effort, understanding, and commitment. Two years my mouth is still sealed but she never tried to ask.I felt stiff the whole day stuck in my room thinking a lot of stuff. I need to sweat up and refresh my mind and soul. I'm almost done cleaning and walking out of the lawn to remove w
Anita Pov...Lauren's offer is not bad at all, why don't I try it? Maybe it's not hard to get along with her boss. I'll tell grandma that I accepted her offer and am ready to start. This probably be the beginning of life aligned for us. I need to send a message to Lauren. She'll be happy to know I will work with her company."Lau, I will take that opportunity you offered me. I already talked to grandma and we decided to find a babysitter for Alex while I'm at work." I texted her."YESSS!… Thank you so much, cousin. I love you 3000. You save me, we don't want to lose the opportunity given to Jacob. We will wait until his promotion, then will be back here for good. That's their offer, good for Jacob but not so much for me." She replied ecstatic and bit sad needing to leave her job."Still a clown Lau. I love you too, so I will help you, and most of all I love Alex so much, I will start saving again for us." I replied with a laughing emoticon. I'm relieved that I'll not be a burden to my
Anita Pov...We arrived at the Hotel where Lauren is working and I'm anxious to meet her boss. Yesterday I was excited to come here but today I had a bad feeling stepping into this hotel was a mistake. I hope he is kind and we get along. I keep on sighing anxious anticipating the tick of the time.I'm used to being the boss, not the one who orders or serves other people. I have to do this not just because of Lauren and Alex, but for myself. I need to move forward to our future, even if it's at a slow pace as long I arrived at my destination."Good morning Sir Alejandro. She's the new secretary that I will train for the last week working with you." Lauren greeted when the boss arrived.I almost opened my mouth to say WHAT THE FUCK! SHIT! I never thought my boss to be this dangerously handsome. My folds down there are screaming like hell. Shit! He's a goddess sent from above! His looks and package were perfect! His eyebrows are thick as if they were intentionally sculpted, his thin lip
Alejandro Pov... I'm surprised when Lauren introduces my new secretary. I almost scream to see her, I tried to mask how ecstatic I am not to spoil the day. When I woke up this morning it was a wonderful and inviting feeling. This must be the reason. The excitement is killing me that I called Rex unknowingly.She was busy drooling and didn't catch any trace of pleasure in my eyes. The way she looks at me I can see she is mesmerized with the looks everyone is crazy about me but sweet Lauren has her own way to interrupt! I didn't expect to see her here and most to be my secretary. What a small world, after a year of searching the universe for her it pays off to see her perfectly stunning and sexy. She's better than intoxicated. Though she was still fabulous that night!I saw her ogling at me and she's damn cute. I want to pull and kiss her, but I controlled myself. She seems bothered meeting my eyes but doesn't recognize me. It's an interesting start rather than being crazy looking aro
Anita Pov...I played with Alex when I got home before going to bed, but I can't sleep thinking of my boss. This weird feeling is making me anxious. I feel like my feet are slowly dipping into the pit of mud accepting this job and I can't get out! What should I do? I shouldn't accept this job in the first place but no turning back now. It's fucking dangerous. I shudder thinking about the worse scenario. I hope I can hold on a little longer before Lauren comes back. Work is not a problem to me but working with him is my biggest problem. Those smiles and stares still creep me like hell. Even her voice makes me weak and wants to submit eagerly which is odd. What's into him that I'm affected like this? I have to avoid staring at her face, especially his damn hypnotizing eyes. His eyes invite you to danger easily laced with magic to elope with. I don't want to dive for another hell of a mistake. I still need to face dad, it terrifies me to think how will he takes in what I went through y
Samantha Pov... After 5 Years... Of all the things that happen in our family, we become stronger. We face everything with open hands as we know we are in this together. Just as our beautiful, unforgettable promise on our wedding day. In sickness and health. For poorer and richer, we did! Our families didn't leave us as well. We help each other and achieve each of our dreams. I thought the family I dreamed of would never happen. Fixing what is broken isn't easy, especially if trust is already ruined. You can trust again, but it wasn't the same. Doubts are always there knocking you off. Triggering your mind to suspect! I live my life believing he loves me to keep doubts away, though he shows his undying love every day so do I. We always look like a newlywed couple or a teenager who is just in love. Giggling when we see our crush. That's what we both feel. It's been 5 years but our love isn't fading. As the days, months, and years passed by, our love blossomed unexpectedly. My brothe
After the wedding, we both decided to travel locally for a month for our honeymoon since she was already almost four months pregnant with our twins again. For our first destination, I chose to go to Baguio, then Bulacan before Subic for our honeymoon. After almost two weeks, we plan to go to Boracay and back to Palawan. Then I suggested the last week staying in the Manila Marriott Hotel. Samantha supported us all the way and gave some suggestions. I did not allow her to return to Australia and New York and asked her best friend to take care of her business there while she was away. I will let her travel when she has already given birth and is capable of moving comfortably. At the moment, I'm still in bliss that I want to be with them and see them anytime, especially my lovely wife, who amazes me all the time.We are here today at the Baguio Country Club and this is our second day. It's nice to go for a walk, from around five pm onwards, feeling the chilly breeze and fresh smell of
Rex Pov...Now that the long-awaited day came, I felt nervous and my chest was going to explode, fidgeting. Samantha and I are getting married today, but I'm nervous and worried. Three days before our wedding, she lived with her parents, saying that we had to be apart for three days before the said wedding day.In the three days that I was not with her, I could not sleep well or eat. I miss her cooking and how caring she was. You just have to wait a few hours, Rex, you will see her. I mumbled to myself. My other two friends did nothing but laugh at me as well as my brother!"Buddy, just relax! You will see her in a while before you don't want to see her!" He mocked, jokingly."That was before!" I uttered, embarrassed."Then what about now, if that was only before?" He asked back."Because now, I love her and don't want to lose her again." I responded shamelessly, seriously looking into his eyes.He was my best friend but Samantha was her only sister. He has the right to ask! He smirk
Rex Pov...Our upcoming wedding is taking a toll on us but in a nice way. I can't be happier reaching this stage with her after the roller coaster incidents.Maybe if Samantha hadn't been persistent, we wouldn't have had a happy ending but only pain until our twins grew up. I always say no, not because of my pride, but because I didn't pay attention. But with everything that has passed in our lives, we have learned to appreciate each other before everything it's too late. I'm always scared she might get sick or hurt herself.Our wedding is next month and I can't wait to call her Mrs. Jimenez.Samantha is three months pregnant and we only spent one month preparing for our wedding. She was already five months pregnant on the very day of our wedding, so the balloon design of her wedding gown looked even better. Both of our parents didn't want us to get married after she gave birth. They want us to get married before her belly grows. During our one-month preparation, we didn't have any
Rex Pov...I frown when memories of Coleen are back in my head. I really can't get her out of my life. She was once a part of my life, hiding from Samantha. I met her at a meeting with my client who is a regular customer at the Diner's Pub he owns. After a few meetings, I courted her. My courtship and our date lasted for three months. Since we share the same hobby, it is not difficult to get along. I thought I really, fell in love with her but I just now realized that I didn't love her like I loved Samantha, who I hid from my heart for a long time because of Coleen. My love and desire awakened the moment I saw her with someone else. I'm very angry because of jealousy, which I don't want to accept. I smiled again at my stupidity. I already have her, but I keep on pushing her away. I also loved Coleen but I love Samantha more. Now, I can get justice for her but a little sorry for her, since my heart has always been in love with my best friend's younger sister. I chuckled, sticking my
Rex Pov...My hunch was right. We were asleep and mom woke us up. They brought a lot of fruits and vegetables so that Samantha would have something nutritious to eat. I sighed, staring at the fruit they brought. I am not starving my wife! She asked permission to take the twins - oh no, actually, she is informing me that they took the twins and they will return when Samantha gives birth."That's not possible, mom. I've only been with them for a month, why take them away?" I protested."Rex your priority is Sam. It's not easy to get pregnant with mischievous children. When she gives birth, make twins again." She responded."Mom!" I blurted out in disbelief."What? I want grandchildren." She snorted again. Samantha was already red as a tomato."You just said it's hard to get pregnant and then you want to get her pregnant again." I protested again."Why, don't you want to have a lot of children? Isn't that what you always wanted to have a big family?" Mom sneered. Samantha's eyes widened,
After our successful get-together dinner, I left them enjoying themselves as I needed to go home. I already miss Samantha. I was in the middle of the road when Alejandro called."Hello Alejandro?" I gleamed."Where are you? Dad was supposed to bring the kids back but couldn't contact Samantha." He said. I felt nervous, clutching my chest. I'm allergic to these kinds of calls! My heart wants to jump out freakingly, nervous whilst my brain becomes stagnant and can't think quickly."What?" I exclaimed, nervous."I'm here at your house right now. See you later. I told dad to keep the kids for a while." He responded."Okay. I'm on my way, bro." I answered nervously. I was so happy just now, but now my heart feels like it's going to explode with fear and nervousness when she leaves me again. I shook that thing out of my mind, driving faster.After arriving at the condo, I took a long step to get inside. I searched the entire condo but there was no Samantha. The food I cooked was also untouc
Rex Pov...I went to work with a broad smile and energetic. Since my parents took the children, I left Samantha still sleeping. Before I left the condo I cooked her favorite food and will fetch her later to go home and see our kids. Those little munchkins I miss them so much! I hope Uncle James brings the twins back and will not ask for an extension. I miss them running towards me when I come home. Those are the precious moments I can't exchange with anything. I want to cherish these little moments while they can still be cuddled. I'm growing old scared I wouldn't be there when they needed me the most. Now, that I have Samantha beside me, I can't contain my happiness engulfing me. I wish I had been true to myself before. Loving Coleen was just my scapegoat to run away from her since she was too young for me! I am still over the moon at the sweet feeling of being loved and to love her again. I loved Coleen before but it wasn't this happy and the love I had for Samantha was not reall
Rex Pov...Uncle James took Xander and Alexa home. Mommy argued that they should be the first to take my children since they had just arrived. While they were arguing on the rooftop of the restaurant, I told Samantha to go home. Fuck! I miss her so much. I didn't know how much I missed her until that kiss I gave her. I was very anxious to pamper her again after three months when something happened in my condo. Her action at home two weeks ago in the study room was out of the box, but I enjoyed it. She really hides something obscene about herself. But it's okay as long as she does that thing only for me.I'm excited to reach home as I drive so fast. I wanted to go home but suddenly I changed my mind. I turned the car around and took her to my condo. No one is there and no one will bother us. I will mark what is mine, this time with love. I smiled and looked at her who was taking a nap. Our Hills View Paradise Restaurant is in Tagaytay, so the trip back to Manila is a bit heavy. Afte
