It was past nine when the wedded couple got back to their house from their first-ever date. Jessica slouched onto the couch the minute they entered the door and sighed. She was obviously tired.
They had a typical romantic date. Philip took her to a fancy restaurant. Then, after dinner, they went to watch a movie at a nearby cinema which has a romantic genre, due to Jessica's request. And then they went to an ice cream parlor after that.
Everything was almost perfect tonight...if it wasn't for Philip and his random change of mood.
Philip arrived just before Natasha, the hairstylist he sent to fix help his wife, could leave their house. They exchanged quick hello's and she told him that they should bond sometimes, after all, they're childhood friends.Before the lad could reach the kitchen, he heard the footsteps coming from the stairs. He whipped his head up and was faced by his wife's caramel orbs. The shade of brown that Jessica's eyes possessed became his new favorite color."You look so beautiful in that dress," The lad complimented her just when Jessica reached his side. He looked at his wife from head to toe and couldn't help but let out a smile."But to be honest, you're even more beautiful without that dress on..." Philip said, his smile slowly turned into a smirk. And Jessica could feel her cheeks suddenly heat up."Silly you," She said and playfully smacked the lad's arm. It's just then when the brunette noticed the costume her husband was wearing. She's used
"I think, we should go home now..." Philip added in a husky tone while looking into his wife's eyes.Jessica squealed when she felt the lad lift her up the ground and ran towards the car, carrying her bridal style. They didn't even bid his investor goodbye and just made their way back home."Philip! Put me down!" But Philip didn't listen to her but instead proceeded with carrying her once they arrived at their house. After the car ride, she still carried the brunette inside. Once they were inside, Philip brought her down. Then Jessica smacked his arm. "You're such a silly per
Jessica's eyes opened and the first thing she noticed was the pair of ocean blue eyes staring down at her. And just by looking in those beautiful orbs made her remember the things that happened the night before. It caused her to blush and look away from her husband's gaze."You're blushing. Is something wrong?" You could tell that Philip also just woke up because of how deep his voice was. And Jessica did everything she could to not show the lad how his voice kind of turned her on.She shook her head as a reply to her husband's question.
It was almost midnight when Philip got back to their house. She had to finish all the papers that he left, causing him to not notice the time.As he opened the door, all the lights were off and everybody seemed to be asleep already. He went to the kitchen to drink some water and kind of refresh himself.He was about head upstairs to rest when he noticed something move on the couch inside the living room. He shook his head once he realized what caused the movement. The lad quickly made his way over the couch and realized that he was indeed right.
"Good morning, Sir," Jordan, one of his employees greeted him as he entered the building."Morning," Some of the people who heard him, gasped. Most of their eyes were as wide as plates as they tried to realize what just happened. It's like, a miracle came down from heaven when they heard their boss answer one of them back. It was short, yes, but the lad isn't one who replies to them.The lad's face remained serious though and he didn't mind the whispers from his employees even if he knows that they're talking about him. He just simply walked past them and entered his of
Jessica woke up because of the pain she felt on her back. She got it because of the position she was in last night. Oh yeah, she forgot that she had fallen asleep on the couch. And she also remembered all that happened last night. All the yelling, tears, and revelation to Philip came rushing back into her mind.Then she noticed the blanket hovering over her body that caused a smile to appear on Jessica's lips. There's only one person who would care enough to do this. And she knows that it was Philip."Good morning J," Sarah appeared out of nowhere when Jessica got up from the
Four days had passed and the lad still didn't come home. And Jessica was clueless as to where could her husband be. She wonders if he's okay, if he's eating right, and if he misses her as much as she misses him.The brunette would always wait for Philip on the couch and sometimes she would fall asleep there. It was uncomfortable and when she wakes up, her back always felt sore. Even if she lacks sleep, she would still wait for Philip, thinking that maybe he'll be back anytime that day. But she'll just be disappointed the next day when Sarah would tell her that the lad still hasn't come home.
The doorbell rang repeatedly and Jessica quickly went to the front door to open it. Everybody was still asleep since it’s just eight in the morning and she didn't want them waking up just yet, especially the lad so even if she's emotionally tired, she got up and opened the door.She was met by a bouquet of roses and a paper bag with a familiar food chain logo on it."Elijah? What're you doin' here?" Jessica asked in her morning voice.
Five years later...The atmosphere was peaceful when Philip reached the place that he's been visiting for the past years. It’s been five years since he last saw her and he admits that she misses her so bad. Even though they haven't known each other that long, even though fate didn't agree for them to have a longer time to be with each other, he had to accept it. As much as he wanted her back, he couldn't do anything."Hey baby," He said as he sat down on the grass. "Sorry I took so long. Had to catch up on something at work. How are you?" He ch
"Are you sure that you really want to go?"Jessica's Dad asked her as she packed all her clothes inside her Disney-themed suitcase. She looked at him and saw his pleading look, a look that wanted her to stay for a little longer.But as much as she wanted to, she knows what's important and had to be done. And that is to see Philip, her husband, again.She had to explain everything to him. Why she left the lad that day to go and look for h
Jessica slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust to the light coming from their window. Once her sight was back to normal, she looked at her side and saw Philip smiling down at her with his wet hair."Good morning, wife," He kissed her on the corner of her mouth. "Slept well?" Jessica nodded. "How are you feeling? Don't you feel sick?" She shook her head.It had been two months since they knew that Jessica was carrying a child. And it was also the reason for her sudden change of mood and she al
After going to the office, Philip immediately made his way back home. He made sure that he gets back as early as possible since he wanted to come with his wife to the hospital for her first check-up.As he silently opened the door to their house, he was met by his wife who's sitting on the couch while eating. He couldn't help but shake his head for a bit when he noticed that Jessica was eating like she hasn't eaten for days now. But he knew it was the effect of the baby in her womb.He walked towards the brunette and gave her a quick peck on the cheek, which caught Jessica off-guar
Philip opened his eyes and the bright light coming from the ceiling is the first thing he sees. He adjusted to the light and when he finally did, he looked around, only realizing that he was still in his boxers."Ah, Mister Edwards, I'm glad you're awake." A doctor said as he approached him. "I'm Doctor Clifford, I was the one who checked on your wife." The lad introduced himself to Philip before handing the lad what seems to be a coat."How was she?" He asked as he placed the coat around his body.
Jessica woke up with a terrible headache the next day. Her vision was still blurry and she feels like she's about to throw up anytime. Which she did, a few seconds after. But before she makes a mess on the bed, she quickly ran towards the bathroom and emptied her stomach over the toilet. She clutched her tummy as she continued to throw up.This had been happening for a few days now. But the blurry vision was new. This made her think about what happened last night.-"It's so hot in here!" Jessica said as she fluttered her eyes open. They were still on their way home since it was an hour's drive. She used her hands as a fan to try and ease the heat that she was feeling. "Is the air condition not working?"Philip was brought out of his own thoughts as he heard his wife. Yep, Jessica was indeed drunk because she kept saying things."Oh, hey Phil, I didn't see you there." The brunette said with a naughty smile, still t
The married couple drove silently to the road, on their way to an exclusive house to attend a party. Jessica had been telling the lad about it a couple of times this week now and tonight was the night she was talking about. Philip didn't want to go obviously, but because of the brunette's puppy eyes and kisses, she finally convinced him to come.Jessica looked at her husband, who was focused on the road to even notice her staring at him. She didn't know why he was quiet but he didn't seem to be pissed or upset like usual. They haven't been fighting lately as well so her silence really worried the lad.
"Finally! I thought you'd never come." Colin said as he rose from his seat to meet the lad halfway. He had called him earlier today since he has something important to tell his friend. He thought that he ditched him since he was waiting for him for more than an hour and a half."What's so important about what you're going to tell me that you have to make me leave home and meet you here? You could've said it over the phone." He said irritated."Why are you always like that?" Philip just scoffed as they both took a seat.
It was still early in the morning but you could already find Jessica inside the kitchen, cooking breakfast. She knew that she kind of pissed the lad off the last night and this is her way of apologizing to him.She just finished the food and was currently fixing the table when the lad went downstairs. It confused her to see him not wearing his usual office clothes, Jessica assumed that he's taking his day off again today."Uhm, I cooked breakfast. You should eat." The brunette invited him. Philip didn't reply and just sat on the chair. She was about to place some food o
