For work the next day, I dressed in clothes that were the most flattering for my body type. For some reason, I felt more confident in my own skin than I had felt in a very long time and I no longer felt the need to hide the fact that I was pregnant from the world. Amy and April were definitely going to have something to say about it, they were probably going to have much more than ‘something’ about it but I didn’t care. Russell and I had spent all of last night and a good part of the morning tangled up in each other’s arms and most of that time, Russell spent it telling me how special and beautiful I was. I was never really that girl who suffered from insecurities and self-doubt. In fact, I was pretty confident about myself, but the pregnancy hadn’t come without these insecurities. I worried about how people would view me, how they would judge me if they found out about my condition and that was only one of the many reasons why I had decided to keep my pregnancy a secret up until no

There were stares of scrutiny and there were stares of pity. Some people even gave me judgemental stares while others were kind enough to give me stares of encouragement. All the same, the only thing I had gotten from my work colleagues ever since my big reveal were stares, lots and lots of them.I tried my best to ignore the numerous pairs of eyes that were peeled on me as I bee-lined towards my desk that morning but it was a little bit hard considering the fact that they were also accompanied by snickers and side comments. This was one of those days when I really could do with a friendly face, but unfortunately, Jason had chosen today of all days to be off. It didn’t help either that I texted him a while ago for moral support and had still not gotten a response.At least, they were being subtle about their gossip and weren’t brazen enough to say anything to my face, that was until April who apparently got the memo a bit late showed up to work. She wasn’t someone to shy away fro

Ms. Jenny wasn't one to beat around the bush. All the employees of NNT audit department knew this, and employees from other departments probabably did as well. She was always on a time constraint, always had something sge had to do, somwhere she had to be, which was why she always went straight to the point, always hit the nail right on the head.I knew how she was but for a topic as sensitive as my pregnancy and future, i assumed she would be a little more empathetic. I was wrong.I had hardly even shut the door behind me when i entered her office before she began bombarding me with questions, all of which i had not been anticipating so they caught me a little bit off guard. "You've created quite the buzz this morning with your..." She paused as though thinking of a perfect word to use. "...revelation." She finished, not even bothering to look up from where she was typing furiously on her computer. I couldn't even understand how she was managing to type with those long nails, and wi

"Are you really not going to help?" Russell asked, placing the pan of mac and cheese in the oven and closing the door before returning to the fruits he was chopping up for juice.When i invited Russell in for dinner, I was of the opinion that we were going to order takeout for dinner, maybe even a pizza, but Russell was a adamant about wanting a home cooked meal and since we couldn't make a choice, we ended up reaching a compromise, one that was extremely favorably to me seiing as Russell ended up with the apron while i sat idly on the counter. He was a pretty great cook though so i made sure to give him a complement every now and then."Uh, i know you might not know this, but providing your man with entertaining conversation while he prepares you a delicious meal is a full time job thank you very much.""Your man huh?" Russell asked with a knowing smile that got me blushing to the tips of my hairs."I like the sound of that." He finished, not even bothering to be subtle. He knew that

The moment lasted a good while as Russell and I remained in each other's arms, listening to the sound of our heartbeats and swaying from side to side. It was as though we were trapped in a bubble, our very own bubble where nothing else mattered but us. We were having a bautiful moment, that was until Russell opened his mouth and ruined the moment."If you are so grateful, do you think you can show your gratitude by helping me out with the dishes?""You know that you have a knack for ruining intimate moments right?" I replied with a sigh, untangling myself from his embrace and making my way back to the table to finish my meal."So i've been told." He replied, following closely behind me.Our foods had long since gone cold, but now that the tension of our argument had calmed down, I realized that i was still as hungry as i was when dinner was served, which was why i decided that cold or not, i wasn't letting any food go to waste."Are you sure you do not want to heat that up a bit befor

We in fact didn't get to talk about the boring details as Russell had promised. In fact, we didn't get to talk about it for about a week or so because the very next morning after he and I talked about moving in together, Russell had to go on an urgent trip to Taiwan to meet up with some high end investors. I didn't know much about the details of his trip as that was information available only to the higher ups but i knew that it had to be important though if Russell had to go by himself instead of just sending a representative. Russell travelled a lot, and it was always for work. He tasked himself a little too much sometimes and I couldn't help but worry about him.I wished he would take a break sometimes and for once take a trip for leisure rather than for work.As I pondered over the matter, I found myself wondering what life would be like had Russell and I been a conventional couple who got married in a conventional manner.If that were the case, Russell and I would probably still

Russell was not able to change my mind about going to the airport to pick him up and expectedly so. I mean, he could be stubborn but I was just as stubborn, maybe even more so than him. Jerry, his personal driver had come to pick me up from my apartment that afternoon before we left for the airport. Russell's flight had been delayed so rather than arriving in the morning like he had promised to, he was arriving in the late afternoon. During the drive the entire ride, I simply couldn't sit still out of excitement and Jerry literally had to point out my restlessness and urge me to relax a bit. "You know bouncing on your seat isn't going to make us get there any faster right?" He asked me, studying my expression through the rear view mirror. I had planned to sit in the passenger's seat with him in front because since the car was not mine I didn't feel very comfortable taking the back seat, but Jerry wasn't having it. Apparently, the man was just as stubborn as his boss and that was pro

You are really going to have to move faster than that if you do not want me to lose my mind.” I said to Elisa who seemed just as eager as me to get to the good part, but for some reason, it didn’t seem like she was moving fast enough, or at least not fast enough for my liking. It didn’t help either that the elevator ride to the penthouse was an endless journey and although the two of us couldn’t keep our hands off of each other during those torturous minutes, I still preferred that we got behind close doors as soon as possible so that we could get into the real thing. The last time I had been lucky enough to have her to myself, I was stupid enough to act like a saint that I totally was not. But not today. Today, I had every intention of acting like the reincarnate of the devil because his was closer to my personality anyway. And if there was anything that the devil had taught me, it was never to let a second chance go to waste, especially if that second chance involved devourin
