He needs me... my heart race even though I know what he mean by that. "Yeah, you need me... a maid."After I finished applying the gauze pad to his forehead, I returned the used items to the first aid kit. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Rozzean, who was looking straight ahead with folded arms. I suddenly felt guilty about what I had done. I'm sure if Rozzean had fans club, they would come after me for what I did.I mean, I injured his handsome face.I sighed again. I didn't know how many sighs I had taken today. I glanced at Rozzean; I wanted to ask him again about staying here if he was sure, but I felt shy.I sighed once more. My hands couldn't stay still. My fingers toyed with the edge of my uniform."If you have something to say, just say it, don't keep looking and sighing. I can't read your mind, Tali."My mouth hung open at his words. I was embarrassed! After what I did, I really thought he'd fire me. I even said an emotional goodbye to Manang earlier, and she assured
"Tali, some seafood was delivered earlier, a gift from a board member to Sir. Would you like to cook that? It's fresh," Manang suggested.I went to the fridge right away and saw the seafood Manang mentioned: shrimp, crabs, squid, and mussels. Hopefully, Sir isn't allergic to any of these."Sure, Manang!"I took out the seafood and cleaned them. When Manang offered to help, I declined and suggested she sit and watch instead. I wanted to make up for what I did to Rozzean by cooking well, so he wouldn't be embarrassed in front of his guest.I also grabbed a chicken from the fridge. I was going to make spicy chicken barbecue, and the last dish would be sisig. I checked the time; it seemed like I would manage to prepare these dishes as I had more than one cooking station. I would do some multitasking. I am used to this since we are a big family at home and my brothers are heavy eaters."You're really good at cooking, Tali. Where did you learn?" Manang asked.I glanced briefly at Manang and
I sat in front of Manang after I finished what I was doing. We were just waiting for what Sir would say about where to prepare the food. He's still upstairs. Maybe he's preparing? I looked at the clock and saw that there were only ten minutes left before one o'clock. Who is his visitor? I wanted it to be a woman but then there's a strange feeling inside of me opposing what I want.I glanced at the seafood, particularly at the mussels. Suddenly, I got carried away, remembering what Rozzean said earlier and how he licked his lips. I am not a dirty minded person, but his gesture was like he is seducing me. dThat ass. I knew what he meant by that. I'm already 29 years old and yes even his d/ck was the first one I saw in my lifemeans I am innocent but that doesn't mean I cannot understand his smile. I haven't even had a boyfriend yet, and those "firsts" in relationships haven't happened to me, but I know those kinds of lines also."I'm eating mussels, Tali."The question is, what's his f
I swallow hard. I had been so focused on arranging the flowers that I forgot Rozzean might know about different flower arrangements. And, as a maid, these arrangements weren't as basic as he thought. Thaliana, you forgot you're not wealthy, and you didn't even finish a college degree!"W-What, sir?"Pretending not to understand what he said."That's a tussie-mussie. Suitable for my room. I like it."My nervouseness disappeared because of what I heard from Rozzean. H-He's right. The other flower arrangement that I did is a tussie-mussie. And wow. I was a little surprised that he knows the name.But did he say that he likes it?"H-Huh? What is that, sir?" I asked.He got up and took the tussie-mussie. My heart started beating fast. It felt unusual. His knowledge about flowers and how he carefully picked them earlier made me feel warm inside."Take one to the gazebo and the other to the living room. I'll bring this one to my room," Rozzean said.I observed him as he walked away. It surpri
The moment I heard that, I raised to looked back at him.What?! Damn, he's Rozzean's friend?! h-he is the guest?I take back what I said earlier! that maybe Rozzean is a good guy because hell, Maki is a playboy, and they are friends! Their intentions might be connected! womanizer! playboy! "What's wrong, Thaliana? and what is this?" he asked.I massaged my temple. "You are the guest Rozzean was waiting and not a woman?" There was no disappointment in me, but I felt even more relieved. What's really going on?"I am! but, explain to me first. What are you doing here in my friend's house, huh? did Uncle George knows about this? the last time I heard from them, you were in Palawan, Grand said that you are engaged and you wanted a vacation first and they--" when he processed everything his eyes widened at me."Holysht, Thaliana. You lied to your parents you--hmmpp!" I immediately went to his side and covered his mouth. This is a mess, if Dad found out, he will get mad at me."Fcking shu
So... a model, huh? Rozzean quickly glanced at me before answering my cousin. "Maki, I didn't drive that girl home, Colver did. I can't stand her. I don't like her smell," Rozzean replied.My cousin laughed again at what my boss said. Then, Maki looked at me for a moment before taking a bite. Fck this ass. But to be honest, I suddenly felt relieved when I heard my boss's response.O-Okay... this is weird.Earlier when I heard what Maki said, I was surprised. I felt annoyed upon learning that Rozzean drove a girl home, and she's a model.And now, I felt even better when Rozzean said he didn't drive her and that he didn't like her smell.I don't like this feeling..."Wow, that's delicious!" Maki exclaimed.Doesn't he know my cooking? He used to eat at our place often, and I'm always the one who cooks the food. I remembered he was a chubby high school kid back then."Who cooked this? Do you have a chef at your house, Rozz?"Rozzean shook his head, "She cooked it," pointing me."Really
Maki had already left, but I remained motionless in my spot. I couldn't help but replay his words in my mind. I often heard Maki saying silly things, but this was the first time he spoke with such seriousness."Ahhh, what now? Should I leave? But it's only been a week..."But I couldn't ignore what Maki had told me and be stubborn about my decision. He was right. Once Rozzean found out about my plan and that Thaliana his fiancee and Tali, his maid was the same person, he would surely get angry with me.What I did was nad, it was deceitful. I entered his home as Tali, lied a lot about myself to carry out my desperate plan to prevent my father's wishes. I can't even picture Rozzean's face being mad at me. "I don't know now..."Part of me was awakened by Maki's words, but the other also didn't want to leave. I didn't know if it was because I wanted to find a reason to tarnish Rozzean's image in my father's eyes or if it was for another reason.I let out a deep sigh. I looked at the tabl
Immediately, Manang followed the order. I, on the other hand, was unsure about the feelings I was experiencing. I felt like Rozzean was avoiding me, but why? is he mad at me? When I checked the time, it was already five o'clock, and I hadn't noticed the hours passing due to deep th. I trailed behind Manang into the kitchen."Manang, should I prepare our dinner? There's still plenty of food left from what I cooked earlier."I gazed at Manang with a puzzled expression, wondering why I felt like I had done something wrong because of the way Rozzean had looked at me. "No need, dear. I already asked Sir about it, and he said we shouldn't bother."I nodded in agreement. When Manang set down the three beers on the table, I thought about offering to take them to Rozzean's room myself. Trying, I need to see if he really is avoiding me of it's just my imagination."Manang, may I bring those to Sir's room?" I asked with a hopeful smile.But before Manang could respond, we heard our master's vo
After 6 yearsWe are outside of the room. It's Rozzean's birthday today, and I baked a cake for him. I looked at my triplets. Their pointer fingers were on their mouths. I told them not to make noise.My pets, dogs, and cats followed us. I'm thankful that none of my children are allergic to animals, and they even share my fondness for them. Thalia always plays with Rose, while Rozwell and Rockwell prefer the dogs.When Lily barked, Rockwell sniffed at her, and our dog immediately stopped."Mommy, do you think Daddy will like our surprise?" whispered Taki."I think so," I replied to Taki and lit the candles on the cake.As I opened the door to our room with Rozzean, we entered slowly. My children covered their mouths to avoid making noise. My husband is still sleeping, lying face down on the bed, and his bare back is visible."Shhh, Rockwell!" scolded Rozwell to his brother.My triplets are not identical, but Rozwell and Rockwell do have a striking resemblance."You two, stop," Thalia
Thaliana Tangi Dela Vezca Valleje POV "R-Rozzean!" What the hell? I thought it was supposed to be next week? "Rozzean!" I shouted again. He hurriedly entered our room. When we locked eyes, he quickly approached me. "W-Why?" "My water just broke! I-I'm going into labor!" We locked eyes again. He didn't move. "Rozzean!" I shouted again. When he snapped out of it, he lifted me and headed to the garage. We passed by Luther. It looks like they're still working! "Is she giving birth?!" Luther asked. "Yes!" Rozzean was still barefoot, and when he started the car, I couldn't help but cry out in pain. "Fck!" "Let me drive; where are the babies' things?" Luther asked as he turned around. "Damn, yes!" I heard Rozzean say as he got out of the car. I felt like I was going to pass out from the pain. "Ahhh!!" I screamed as the stinging pain hit me. When Rozzean came back into the car, he had the babies' things with him. Luther drove fast. We headed to the hospital. Rozzean also tried
Rozzean Cyron Valleje POV"Baby... it's 1:45 am. What do you want?"I looked at my wife, who was frowning while sitting on our bed. We moved our room downstairs because I was worried she might slip on the stairs. It's dangerous for her to use the stairs since her belly has grown bigger. Ferline said it's normal, and we can expect it to get even bigger in the coming weeks."I want spaghetti. Can you cook it for me, my love?"I nodded and smiled at her. We left the room, and she held my hand. She sat on the side, watching me as I started cooking."You look handsome..."I smiled at her. Thaliana eats a lot, but she's not gaining weight. Maybe it's because she's always hungry and eats a lot due to carrying three babies. I understand her, so I'm always with her to fulfill her cravings. I'm working from home now. Thaliana said it's okay for me to go to the office, but I refused.Even if I go to the office, I won't be at ease thinking about her at home.Now, I am working online. When there a
The next morning as newlyweds with Rozzean, I woke him up with gentle kisses. Since he was still very sleepy, I told him I would go downstairs and prepare our food. He agreed and went back to sleep.In the kitchen, I found Manang, who was already getting breakfast ready, and I helped her."I'm Thaliana Tangi Dela Vezca Valleje," I said while looking at my wedding ring."Gosh... I feel like a teenager getting all giddy!"Rozzean is my husband... we are married."Tangi... calm down! Relax!"Once the food was ready, I went up to our room with a tray in hand. I entered and placed what I brought on the side table, then approached my still-sleeping husband."Good morning, husband..." I said with a smile and kissed Rozzean all over his face."Hmmm..." he's smiling!"We are going to eat--""I will eat you.""Oh, Rozzean, seriously! I went downstairs to cook for you, don't tease me with your 'I will eat you' if you don't eat what I cooked, I'll be upset!"He suddenly sat up in bed. His eyes ha
It felt like a dream, our wedding with Rozzean. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing for almost the entire time because of unexpected and joyous events. Even my Dad danced with him. It was the first time I saw my Dad dance like that.Even my siblings joined in the fun. However, the most memorable moment was our family's reaction when we announced my pregnancy. My parents even shed tears in the end."Baby..."And here he was, Rozzean, just entering our room. He was behind me, trailing his lips along my back as he unzipped my wedding gown."Are you sure?" I asked."Hmmm... you didn't ask Ferline earlier to be sure."Ferline was at the reception earlier, but of course, I felt shy asking her about intimacy while being pregnant with triplets.I looked at her after Rozzean fully brought down my gown."W-Wait. Doesn't this need a shower? Let's take a bath first!"Rozzean smirked and then shook his head."I can't wait," he said, claiming my lips.It was obvious!I smiled and held onto his nec
After the incredibly joyful intermission number by my family, Rozzean approached me, breathing heavily. He held my hand and hugged me, placing his lips near my ear and whispered."It's embarrassing..."I laughed again and patted his back."You're embarrassed about that? You were so into it."I heard Rozzean's hearty laughter. When he let go of me, I wiped the sweat from his face and neck. He was really sweaty, even though the reception was air-conditioned!"It was Thes' idea. She said you'd be thrilled if I danced the jumbo hotdog. And she was right."I glanced at Thes, who was focused on her cellphone screen, probably watching the video she took earlier, as she continued to laugh."And Luther? How did you convince him to dance?" I asked, smiling."I don't know what happened. I think Thes talked to him. It seems like he was just forced; I don't know what Thes said to get Luther to agree to dance with me. I was surprised that Luther agreed. I never thought he would do this. You can tel
We heard loud applause inside the church after a quick kiss, Rozzean and I."Ahhh..." I turned to Rozzean when I heard his voice. He was holding my hand and kissing it."Mine... finally, you are mine."I smiled at what he said. I held him by his cheeks and gently pinched them."Really, you're the one who's mine," I replied."Hmm... I can't wait for our honeymoon."I widened my eyes and looked around, worried someone might have heard. I gently tapped Rozzean on the chest. Another honeymoon!"Honeymoon has happened several times already; your mind is still on honeymoon."He's still kissing my hand."That's different. My performance this time is not as your boyfriend but as your husband."He knows a lot! And what performance is he talking about? I was about to speak again, but the crowd came forward to congratulate us."Congratulations!"Thes came to us; I thought he had something serious to say, but I was surprised when five men approached us, and when I saw what they were holding, I co
After ten minutes, I saw the organizer approaching me. I opened the car door and stepped out. Many photographers were taking pictures as I walked."Ma'am, it's your turn to enter," the organizer told me.I nodded and thanked her. When I stood in front of the church door, I took a deep breath.As the door slowly opened, I tightly held my bouquet. Everyone inside the church was standing. All their attention was on me as I walked slowly.I looked at the aisle and saw Rozzean. He looked handsome in his black tuxedo. He was smiling at me, biting his lower lip. I also noticed him adjusting his suit, though it seemed fine to me. Is he nervous?When I reached the middle, my parents greeted me, and I kissed their cheeks. My father was crying again!"Dad..." I said.We continued walking down the aisle."I-I'm just happy... so happy, Tangi.""I love you, Daddy..." I said to him and looked at Mommy, "I love you, Mommy, thank you so much."As I walked slowly, I glanced around the people inside the
Rozzean and I decided to keep my pregnancy a secret until after we get married. We also asked Luther, Thes, and Ferline not to tell anyone for now. We wanted to share the news with our families after the wedding and surprise everyone with the fact that we were expecting triplets.The day we found out we were having three children was unforgettable, mostly because my husband fainted. I was worried about what happened to him, but when he woke up, I could hardly breathe from laughing.He was so embarrassed. Luther, Ferline, and my best friend Thes were all laughing too. Even I couldn't help but laugh. I felt sorry for him, so I stopped laughing when he hugged me, burying his head in my neck.Rozzean kept cursing and saying he was just so happy. He fainted from pure joy upon learning that we were having triplets.His sibling didn't let it go. Luther teased him about it all the time. I'm sure they continue to tease him whenever they're together."Beautiful!"I smiled at my hair stylist whe
