Recently, I've been having this thought of getting Jaimie a baby stroller. I've noticed the way Jasamina clutch her arm after carrying him. Jaimie isn't exactly a tiny baby.
Dannie had his own stroller even before he was born.
So, while she cooked in the kitchen, I took the taxi and went to the nearest mall I could find. In the mall, I lifted a cart and started for the part of the mall where it was clearly written, "BABIES."
As I made my way there, one of the workers came to me wearing a smile. "Are you looking for things to buy for your baby?"
My baby? "Something like that." I answered gruffly. "A baby stroller."
"Wow! We have the bests on sales. Please follow me, and I'll lead you right there." The woman was already walking and I followed her obligingly.

It wasn't there before.Wait....isn't that a baby stroller? I turned and stared at Tanner, baffled."I went shopping for little Jaimie." Tanner said, seeming uncomfortable. He scratched his head a bit, "I thought he needed a few things."Shopping? For Jaimie?I came down from the bed and gingerly made my way closer to the most beautiful set of baby stuffs I've ever seen. The most beautiful baby stroller. Oh. My. God.Tears filled my eyes as I raised trembling hands to caress the things before me. I run my hand through the colorful big stroller.Tanner came closer to stand beside me. "I noticed that he doesn't have one, and your arm h

"What is it about this girl, Mark? We have saved women before from our missions but you never reacted this way." My voice was gentle and seeking."Those women aren't sixteen, beautiful and they definitely weren't in my house." He said flatly.I backpedaled, "I think there's something I'm not getting here. Are you attracted to her?He stared at me like I've lost my damn mind. The stare made me relax and cleared the doubts I almost had. "She's just a child. I'm thrity-two. Of course, I'm not attracted to her.""Then, what is it about her age and about her stay that's tying you in such a knot? Apart from your dislike for her gender th

The big guy that rescued me...Xazix... entered the room.I took in his night clothes and the blankets he had with him. Horror blanketed my face. He is going to sleep here with me!I sprang up from the bed, getting ready to bolt from the room. He saw my reaction and read the intent in my eyes."No, no, no. Calm down, Anya." He groaned.His words made me froze on the sport. I clutched the duvet protectively wrapped around my body, starting from my neck.For what I've being through in the whore house, I've come to know and understand what happens when a man sleeps in the same room with a woman.It is to have her body.

He kicked the prostitute that laid beside him but she slept dead to the world.Jasamina would have woken at the kick and scoop to the end of the bed to give him more than enough space on the damn bed.He hate-hate-hated that she run away and hasn't been found. His temper is more sore from the fact that that stupid bounty hunter hasn't answered his calls or tried to call back.I got up from the bed and strode to the spacious luxurious living room, to go stand by the window. He stared into the night.How did that girl survive staying out there? How the hell did she prefer it than coming back home to him and living in luxury?All she had to do was take care of his needs. Basic needs. But Jasamina had

I stared around and my eyes landed on the huge guy sleeping on the sofa. Mr. Xazix.I took the moment to stare at him so bashfully. Sitting up on the bed, I took in his features. So handsome and intimidating.I got up from the bed, careful not to allow my feet make a noise. I walked out of the door, closing it quietly behind me. It's still early morning, so I'm sure that everyone is sleeping.I feel so thirsty, so I made my way to the kitchen. I don't really know where the water is but I'll figure it out, instead of waking them up.I entered the kitchen and froze when I saw the man standing there in front of a coffeemaker. T

The reason why I told the X-man to keep the girl away from me was because I was very sure that I wouldn't want to be in her present.Now, inside the kitchen and in front of the coffeemaker, I stared at the girl with timid blue eyes, beautiful hair and a very delicate looking body, I felt a tug in my chest.She looks awfully familiar one minutes, and looks like a stranger she is, the next. I find that I don't want to depart from her presence. In fact, I want to know more."Now that I actually realize that I don't know your name dear. What is your name?" I asked her.She smiled softly. "It's Anya. Anya Vi—""Who do we have here this morning?" Xazix's voice interrupted, coming through the doorway before he entered into

I feel better that ever. Better than I've felt in a long time.I raised my arm and a smile split my lips when it didn't hurt an inch. When I didn't see Jaimie, I know that Tanner has him. I felt relieved the same time I felt guilty for burdening him that way.I took a few minutes to take a shower and freshen up before I joined them in the living room. There was food already in the dinning table and Jaimie was in his stroller playing with his toys and looking so focused."You came out just in time for breakfast." Tanner said as I walked deeper into the room. I greeted him and he greeted back. Then, we settled in on the small dinning table and started eat

I blurted, pointing at Jasamina who was staring at me with her eyes widened.I could swear that I saw her fighting to keep a straight face. I was sure she was as surprised as I was at myself for slipping that word from my mouth.The word 'wife' was the only word that came to my head at that moment. Surprisingly, I'm not sorry for using the word. It didn't hurt too. Suzy has always been the only wife I had."Let me be honest with you. I don't think there is any vacancy. A lot of people have come here too looking for a job but they didn't get . Besides, the manager isn't around at the moment." She said tersely, her words resounding in my ears."Ok, thanks for the information." I replied, standing up and heaving a sigh. I guess it was no use requesting t

His father was staring at us pitifully and his mother was swiping tears from her eyes."I'm so sorry for this...." I whispered from the ground, my voice hoarse from crying.They all shook their heads at the same time. Obviously speechless."So, it's you, Mina." Tann's mother finally whispered, sniffling. "You're the person Doreen wronged. She was always crying and mourning and sorrowful. We've been pleading for her to forgive herself....she didn't."***********After Tann dropped my mother and her feet's were treated and bandaged, it was the both of us again.&nb

Even though she doesn't really look like the mother I remember, I know for sure that this housekeeper here is the woman that gave birth to me."M-Mother...?" My voice came out a shaky whisper as I stood up.She looked like she aged ten years in the past five years. She had none of her jeweleries on her body, her hair wasn't braided or styled, there was no fancy cloth on her body.She stared at me with recognition. She stared at me with pain in her eyes.Suddenly, her eyes watered. Still looking at me with shock and pain, the tray she was carrying fell from her hand and the glasses shattered on the floor.Everyone gasped around the room but I couldn't see them. I can only stare at the

I'm your grandfather, and you....are my grandson."Jaimie grinned then, and let go of Moira's hand. "Grandfather!" He rushed forward and wrapped his little hands around the old man's neck.I was surprised when Freddy's eyes watered as he hugged Jaimie back. I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling so happy that they accepted my son, it brought tears to my eyes.Afterwards, the old man finally straightened to his full height and stared at me beside Tann, a smile on his face."Father, here's Jasamina. She's the love of my life and we're getting married." Tann groaned, staring at his father.Freddy left Jaimie to Moira, and

My body was drawn taut with the need to move but instead, I kissed her wet brows, down to her cheeks.Seconds later, she whimpered and went lax under me, making relief to course through me. I pulled back and stroked into her gently.A heavy groan escaped my lips because I found heaven, and it was more than I've ever expected. I took leisure strokes until she sighed breathily.Then, I stretched out on top of her, taking her hands into mine and pinning it above her head. I pumped slowly, getting my bearings, learning the lay of the tight land. I love that she clutched me so closely. Her face buried in my neck. Her fingernails biting my hand, clutching at it.My hips moved to the musical sound of the night. Steady, rough pumps

I want her with a great urge that almost bothered on obsession.I pulled back finally, and she panted for breaths while I undressed her. There wasn't much to undress. I released the two buttons and untied the rope, pulling the nightie apart.I groaned in need when I found her naked underneath. In the glow of the night, she looked so beautiful. Her rosy nipples puckered, starting erect and seeking my mouth on them.I kissed down her neck to the swell of bee

Suddenly, I have the urge to see him.So, I took my bath and dressed up. After I locked up the door, I called Jasamina to tell her that I'm not home, just in case she comes home and can't find me.She laughed and told me that she won't be coming back anytime soon. Then, she gave me the details of the night before. Tann's proposal. Her pregnancy. Tann's mother."Oh my God, I'm so happy for you, Mina."

To live. With her little boy wrapped hidden under her breast, her body bruised, roaming the streets of New York city, sleeping in an uncompleted building.The tears flew down my cheeks because that girl truly survived. Seeing this, I know, I truly did survive. Maybe....just maybe...it's time for this Jasamina to finally embrace eternal happiness. Because I worked for it. I suffered for it. I deserve it."Yes." I whispered tearfully, a smile on my face. "Yes, Tann. I will marry you.""Oh, thank God!" Tann exclaimed, taking breath
