Several days had past and I always thanked God that my friend was safe with her baby. Well babies rather, it's fun to think that my friend will have a two baby in just one birth.
I heard a knocked on my door before my assistant entered, she was carrying a bunch of red roses. It's been a few days since I always received flowers.
Who sent it? The one and only, Daevon Castanio. I don't know if I will be annoyed or happy when he said he will court me while we are not married yet. He also often ate at my home after work. I just found out how rich he is, his company is one of the famous suppliers and producers of wine and various kinds of expensive wine here in the Philippines and abroad so it is not surprising that my parents did not object when I was promised of that man's marriage. It's like hitting two birds in one stone—aside from the feeling that I will be tamed, my future will be better with that man. My family is not poor, nor is it too rich. My family business
I was fixing the cutlery when I heard the bedroom door open. I immediately looked there, Daevon walked out as if he was carrying the world. What happened to this asshole?"Goodmorning" I get his attention.I saw him stiffened and then slowly raised his head to my direction. He blinked several times with his parted mouth.What's his trip?I was surprised when he walked quickly towards me, he suddenly grabbed me and locked me in his arms. I could feel his hot breath hitting my neck causing me to think of something bad, nasty neither.Seriously? Early in the morning Ayesha. I mentally talked to myself.Damn. I also want to question myself why I let him do this to me, I ask myself why instead of pushing him now I just let him get tired of hugging me.Maybe because it was his birthday yesterday. Yeah yeah that's the reason."I thought I would never see you again when I woke
Fuming anger was consuming me when I decided to leave the mall. I could hear Daevon calling after me but instead of turning around to look at him, I went straight to the parking lot and stretched out my hand as I called for a taxi. As soon as the vehicle stopped in front of me, I got inside and left without even batting an eyelash at him.I told the driver the address of Cassandra’s condo and immediately, he was about to start his engine when someone emerged in front of us.“Honey!” His dry voice echoed throughout the open area but I only looked at him, raising one of my eyebrows.The driver didn’t start his engine first, as if he wasn’t sure of what to do and so I turned my gaze towards him.“Ma’am, he might get hit by my car,” the driver said.I sighed, shaking my head and went back to looking at Daevon who was now busy knocking on my window.“Hey, talk to me please,” he begged.It wasn’t that hard to interpret his w
I blinked several times before finally responding. I shook my head as an answer to his question and entered the car, quietly.The door stayed open on my side as he gently moved his head forward towards me. He made sure our eyes met at the same level as he opened his mouth to speak.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you mad,” he started. “It’s just that…” As if he couldn’t continue his words, he bit his lower lip, not knowing how to say it. He yanked his head away from me as he messed up his hair. “Argh! Fuck!” he shouted.It looked like he was having a hard time explaining himself.I smiled secretly in my head. I was now a little relieved and contented with his reaction. I heaved a sigh and tried my best to act cold. “Get in,” I said, trying to look unfazed by his actions.He sighed then closed the car door on my side. He went towards the other side of the car and as he opened the door from the driver’s seat, he s
It was captivating to see the mesmerizing scene of the endless pitch black sky wavering in front of us. It was filled with a lot of stars gazing as the wind would slowly brush pass our skin, making our beings a lot more comfortable. We were leaning on a tree, trying to enjoy the view of the majestic city engulfed with nothing but darkness and the city lights.I don’t know why but my current state feels so calm and collected.As I breathe out the cold air, grasping on our bodies, I felt his hand slowly making his way towards mine. I looked at our hands, slowly intertwining. It was perplexing, how I wasn’t even uncomfortable or surprised that he grabbed my hand.There was only this feeling of tidal waves crushing onto my chest.“I’m sorry,” he whispered. I slowly glanced at him, looking straight in his eyes until he was the first one to avert his gaze and looked forward at the scenery in front of us. I continued to stare at him."I don't know if you care but
My mind seemed to wander elsewhere as I stare right into space. It’s been a month since we got married and if I do say so myself our relationship looks steady. We’re slowly getting to know each other or more likely I’m trying to get to know him better since it looked like he knows almost everything about me; in terms of my favorites.“Don’t you have any plans of telling them?” I blinked and glanced at him. He was staring right into my eyes as he changed the channel on the television.We were currently sitting on the living room, watching an action movie.I heaved a sigh. “I do want to tell them but I’m not sure how to start it,” I said, putting my hands into my face. “I just know my parents will be sad and a little disappointed since they both think like those people from the Stone Age,” I added, looking at him again. “And there’s my pregnant friend, she’s quite sensitive right now so I don’t think this is the right time.”“I guess it can’t be helped,” he responded
Despite having a lot of things that were preventing me from functioning well, I don’t know how I was able to come to the company without any scratches. There are a lot of things in my mind lately.Even though I wanted to talk to my only friend about the situation I’m into, I couldn’t tell her at all. Cassandra had once suffered from a miscarriage and I was there when it happened. It was a pity but more importantly a lot more painful for my friend as she had expected her baby to live. After that incident, I had vowed myself to always buying her whatever she wanted; probably also because of the trauma I sustained from that time.As we were chatting along the table; joking, goofing around and exchanging small talks, we would smile at each other while scooping onto the ice cream I bought.I hope I don’t doze off while listening to her saying all sorts of myth regarding pregnant woman.After a while, she started mentioning Rozz again which led to the two of us into anot
I’m confused with myself. For some reason, I’m having a hard time deciding what to do plus… it’s funny if you think of it like this; I’ve been influenced by Cassandra with being a goody good two shoes.It’s probably been a few minutes since Ivann left the bar with his shoulders sinking in disappointment. I already moved on and I no longer hold any feelings for him except resentment. I crossed my arms, waiting for my husband to arrive at the door.“I hope I don’t make a bad choice of staying with you,” I thought to myself as I closed my eyes. There might have been a lot of things bugging me and how I’m doubtful of his actions and words.A warm hand caressed my cheek gently as I smelled his familiar scent. I could tell that it was him with just a glance. I opened my eyes, only to see him looking straight back at me. He’s hair was in a mess and how sturdy his body looked like. I didn’t move and only let him do what he wants.It’s only been a few hours yet
“You’re creepy,” I pointed out at the man smiling at me.We’re currently in a Korean restaurant, eating. When we woke up earlier it was already passed the time for dinner and so we just decided to eat outside.“I love you,” he said once again before putting a handful of food on a spoon in his mouth.I bit my lower lip as I averted my gaze. Damn, he’s suddenly being so sweet. The moment we woke up earlier, he wouldn’t stop saying those words anymore.It’s even funny if you think of this way. I’ve been waiting for this all along and now, he keeps repeating it like a broken platform.I gazed at him when I felt his hand touch mine above the table.“Thank you,” he said, full of emotions in his words.I smiled at him and reached out my hand to gently squeeze his, “I’m not a narrowed minded person plus… you’re my husba
I was sleeping peacefully when my phone rang.I groaned and scanned where I fucking put my phone and answered it without seeing who it was."Please do me a favor." My forehead knotted as I opened my eyes and slowly sit on my bed. That was the first thing he told me the moment I answered the phone call."What now Ivann?" I seriously asked.I heard him sigh before dropping the bomb."I'm sick," he mumbled that made me frozen in feet."Then fucking take a medicine," I hissed when I recovered my composure."I'm flying to America tomorrow," he informed me."Drop the favor," I simply said; looking tired from these shit I'm hearing."Guard my ex, Daevon, " he mumbled in low pitch voice.I creased my forehead, still my phone was close to my ear."You mean stalk her?" I sarcastically asked."I owe you big time for this. I just want to make sure that she won't do anything stupid," he stated."You mean kill her
We all went together at the same time when we were now rested.We're all happy to see her kicking well and had the kids go home early with Auntie while we stayed behind."So mind to tell me what's happening?" Cassandra asked, breaking the silence betwen us all."We're good," Daevon answered.My face quickly flushed red; feeling all the warmth going towards my face. That's not what she meant when asked!"Really? But I remember you saying it once before that you will make him cry," my friend said teasingly.My eyes widened.Fuck you, girl!I felt Azaia, secretly laughing at the sideline.I mouthed bitch to Cassandra before raising one of my eyerbrows at her.I turned towards Azaia, rolling my eyes. "You're laughing at me, traitor," I said and pursed my lips; sulking.She laughed once again before looking at the curious Cassandra.She started narrating what happened to her, the sameway Andre
After a day, I was immediately discharged. Daevon quickly got me a check up at the OB so we can get an update over my pregnancy.We both let out a sigh of relief when I found out that our baby was normal and I was healthy. It feels like something warm touched my heart when I saw the teary-eyed Daevon. He was staring at the small monitor, looking at an image of a baby.He looked at me and mouthed thank you with so much emotions in his eyes. I just smiled at him in return.We ate first at a restaurant before coming home. As the gate swung open, I saw my baby running towards me. She gave me a tight hug and kissed me."I miss you, Mommy," she mumbled and embrace me tighter.I hug her back with the same ferocity and kissed her forehead.After she was finished with me she turned to glance at her dad and reached out her little hands to be carried in his arms.They exchange the same imissyou's and have a littl
DAEVON'S POVIt’s been a few hours yet until now she’s not yet waking up. What happened earlier really drained her.I heard a knock on the door before my friend Xenoah came insicde. I only gave him a thin smile as he patted my shoulder.“I owe you a lot,” I said emotionally and turned to look at my wife again laying on the hospital bed.I felt his presence still there, gazing at Ayesha for a few seconds.“She really loves you,” he said.A bitter smile crept into my lips as I closed my eyes.“I don’t know if I should be happy or not by that,” I weakly uttered under my breath.I gently caressed her face.“Because of her love for me, she almost lost her life. Not only her but also…” I gulped and turned to look at her stomach. “…our soon to be second child,” I added.I felt Xenoah’s hand patting my shoulder again.“I didn’t expect what she did. I know she loves me but I didn’t think she’d pick me over her own life,” I nar
After our emotional breakdown finished, we both fix ourselves and talk everything that we missed for the past four years."How about your pregnancy? Raising her alone with your two friends… was it hard?" he asked calmly while holding onto my hand.My other hand had been helping me munch away some chips while my head was leaning on his chest. We were both sitting on the sofa, watching movies on the television.I stopped to put the chip in my mouth for a second. “I was diagnosed with post-partum,” I said, uttering weakly.I felt him stiffened and then massaged my hand when he regained his composure back.“You know, I only have my instincts at that time. I believe that Ivann and I didn't do it but still I couldn’t erase the fact that there was a chance t-that she's Ivann's child,” I added.I felt his hold tightened. I stared blankly on the television with a sad smile looming my face.“One week. It was a total of one week, I didn’t look
I woke up disoriented. I quickly got out from my bed when I noticed the unfamiliar sight of the whole room. I suddenly tried to recall what happened until I remembered him carrying me last night.Daevon brought me here?I tried to calm myself down. This is a condo unit type with a simple yet elegant style. I heard some sounds coming from the other room and so I walked towards it. As I got closer and closer to the area, the voices become clearer.“I thought you’re not coming back anymore,” a man’s voice said.I never been nosy before but something tells me I need to listen to their conversation. I kept my distance, enough just so I can hear them. I heard some sizzling sound. Someone is cooking.“I just want to show her where I had been for the past four years,” I heard Daevon responded.So he didn’t come home before?“How about that other girl? What was her name again? Ellaine? Yeah, that’s it,” the other man’s voice asked casually.
It’s already late yet Daevon is still in our house. He’s playing with my daughter in the living room while the three of us stood there in the kitchen, talking among ourselves.“So what’s your plan?” my dad asked casually while drinking his coffee. Both of them were eyeing me, waiting for me to speak.I only cupped my chin using my hand and massaged my temple.“I don’t know. I need to talk to him first,” I said before looking at them.My mom smiled at me thinly and gently patted me on my shoulder. “Everything will be okay,” she reassured. “I can feel it, he still loves you so give him a chance.”A sad smile roamed my lips and let out a sigh.You got your gut feeling wrong, mom.I shook my head. As I was beginning to be lost in thoughts, I suddenly felt a presence behind my back.“Let’s talk,” a baritonic voice said.I can feel the same fear crawling down my chest but I tried to remove it. I turned to him with a life
"Is this real?" my daughter asked. Her eyes couldn’t stop from widening and gasping as waters started forming in her eyes.We’re currently inside our room where she watched the video I showed her. I only forced myself to smile and nodded.Hi honey. How are you? Take care always.“D-Daddy,” she called out and tears started streaming down her little rosy cheeks. I then immediately embraced her into a tight hug. It’s been a week since I gathered all of my strength and went with my plan.I decided to arrange everything now about my daughter but I still need to prepare Daeshaia with whatever happens. I made sure to ask Daevon for one take of a video.*flashback*“Ah…Daevon?” I called out after we ate. “Can you do me a favor?” I felt him squeeze my hand gently under the table.He then looked at me with a serious look on his face. “As long as it’s not to let go of you, then sure,” he said. I gasped for a second with what he said but quickly r
I stared blankly at my office the whole morning. It feels like I’ve been played all along.He was not there that day.Then if that was the case… what was that thing I encountered four years ago?Did… Ellaine planned it all along?I shook my head. I don’t want to think negative words about someone but there’s still a possibility.Why would she do that?I was out of my reverie when I heard a knock. The door then swung open gently and whom appeared in front of me was none other than Daevon.I froze for a second when I saw him holding onto a bouquet of rose as he approached me.He thinly smiled at me and put down the flowers onto my table.“T-Thanks,” I uttered weakly while looking at it. I then turned to look at him.“I change my mind,” he said in a low pitch voice while staring at me. I gulped, feeling as if something was stuck in my throat.“What do you mean?” I asked. I almost thanked God for not letting me stutter.
