2024-10-29 19:42:56"Wow! I'm so full. I never thought I could finish an entire bowl of Ramen!" Remarked Joan after practically drinking the soup from the bowl.
Cole had shown her earlier the ways and means to drink from a large ramen bowl as if it were a glass. It was technically the most unladylike she had ever done, but Cole's encouragement allowed her to do it.
"What did I tell you? The best ramen in the city!" Exclaimed Cole.
"Touché!" Said Joan with a smile.
Uncle Ben then came to their table, offering green tea. He said, "Here, to help with the feeling of being so full."
"Thank you, um..." Joan was thinking about how to call the old man.
"Uncle Ben is fine, Joan. Any good friend of Cole is like my own child," said the old man. "Drink up."
With a sweet smile, Joan nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ben."
An hour passed, and Joan found herself staring from inside Cole's car. They were parked right outside

Sweat formed on Cole's forehead as he had coffee with Alexander Belle from their mansion's patio.Cole let out a heavy sigh before wiping the wetness on his face with his hand.When Joan told him about her father, wanting to see him, he felt utterly nervous. He did not understand why he had to be called to the Belle's estate, but he came either way."What are you trying to do, boy," asked Joan's father before sipping on his coffee. "Are you playing Robinhood again?"Cole gulped at that. He cleared his throat and said, "I - I don't understand - ""Oh, come on! Don't think I did not know you were suspended at school for beating the boys who bullied Joan?" Said, Alexander."Or what about the time you took a snake bite for my daughter during the school camp?" Added Joan's father."The stupidest thing you have ever done was to buy all her cupcakes at the bake sale when they did not even taste any good!"C

"Chris, do you love Shantal?" Joan asked without looking into Christopher's eyes.He had to admit it. The question stunned Christopher. He ended up loosening his tie while answering, "Love? I don't know, but I am enjoying her company. I'm - I'm taking that chance with her."When Joan went to Christopher's office and caught them having sex, she meant to confess her feelings to him. For some reason, she thought it would be a good chance; him being right in front of her.Yet, hearing him say that he could take the chance with Shantal seemingly tied her tongue altogether.Joan could not understand it. Rather, she could not accept it. She asked silently, 'Why take a chance with her and not with me?'When Joan did not answer, Christopher called her attention. He asked, "Joan?""Chris, what's wrong with me?" She finally spoke. A tear fell down her cheek when she added, "Surely by now you know how I felt about you since high school

From the grand estate of the Hales, Christopher had been staring at his windowpane. From his room was an insignificant view of where Joan's room was in the mansion. He thought, 'Her lights are still off. She hasn't come home.'Christopher looked down at his phone, showing the number of Joan. He had been thinking of calling her since he arrived. "Where are you, Joan?""You should have just said something!" He muttered to himself, thinking about their conversation back at Joan's office, but how could he? He was in an obvious relationship with Shantal Lin! Moreover, he had his reasons for not taking that chance with Joan Belle.It was already passed nine when he finally saw the lights in Joan's room turned on. Only then did he rest for the evening.Before he closed his eyes that night, Christopher asked himself, "Am I doing the right thing? I hope so. I don't ever want to regret it." Turning off his bedside lamp, he said, "I'm sorry, Joan. I real

"Oh, my God! Christopher is calling me," Joan said, widening her eyes as she looked at her phone. "I wonder why? He hasn't asked about me since he went to the office."She was settled in the front seat of Cole's car, gawking at the sight of her mobile."Let him call the second time around and then answer it," instructed Cole. He parked his car at the side of the road and said, "Whatever you do, don't say my name."Seeing Christopher call again, he repeated, "Go ahead and take the call!"With a frown, Joan answered the call reluctantly, "H - hello? Chris?""Um, Joan. Where are you at?" Christopher asked on the other line.Bewildered by his probing, she answered, "Just had dinner with a - " She stopped herself, seeing Cole's eyes widening and giving her instructions."Date. Say date," Cole softly said, trying not to reveal himself."I'm - I'm on a date, Chris. Why - Ahhh! What are you doing?" Joan's attent

Sitting next to Alexander Belle, Cole felt chills down his spine. He turned to Joan's father with a grin before saying, "Good evening, Mr. Belle. How are you doing today?""Boy, do you still remember our agreement?" Alexander asked with his voice raised."Ah, yes, Mr. Belle. Rest assured, I am taking care of Joan very well. No need to get worried," Cole answered before taking a deep breath."Dad, relax, please," pleaded Joan before she hooked her arms to both Cole and her father. She looked at the Hales and another relative of Christopher before revealing, "Dad and Cole have become good friends."Her words shocked everyone, especially Christopher. Did Joan imply that Cole was an acceptable future son-in-law to the Belles? They all simultaneously thought the same while Christopher was still overwhelmed to learn that it was Cole who Joan had been spending time with these past few weeks.Meredith, on the other hand, was hurt by the s

Nine years ago.From within the grounds of LA Heights Academy, a private and well acknowledged High school in the city, many of their second-year students were busy marketing their products."Cupcakes! Cupcakes, everyone!" Joan Belle called for the crowd as she invited them to have a taste of her cupcakes! It was her very first attempt to bake. "It's really healthy!"Their school was having a bake sale, but Joan and her partner hardly sold a treat. She had samples prepared for everyone to taste, and perhaps that was the reason she was barely selling anything!In support of thy neighbor, Christopher approached Joan's stall with his best friend, Cole."This better be good, Joan? After all, you are associated with us, being Chris' neighbor," teased Cole, picking up one piece of that sliced cake and putting it in his mouth."Of course, it is! Give it a try!" Responded Joan in defense, but she quickly rolled her eyes to say, "No

Happiness. This was Joan's status on her social media account, and it easily caught Christopher's attention.She had a new picture up on her profile; a new and confident Joan Belle.The picture was a cropped image of her in a beach dress, showing off her slender shoulder blades and neck. She was looking up seductively to a man, and she obviously was resting her hand on a chest.Who was the man? That was the common question going around her social media account and all she could say to that was, "You'll find out soon."Joan was receiving compliments on her profile page, admiring the new her."You look great, girl!""Sexy, Joan Belle!"Lina, Joan's best friend, was her number one cheerer, posted, "Go, girl!

She put a hand on Christopher's handsome face before complimenting his actions, "Baby, you fuck me so good."Christopher scolded Shantal, the second he came to the Penthouse they both acquired. They meant to live together in the next few days, but was halted by his sudden mixed feelings for Joan.After getting into an argument, Shantal did what she thought was the best way to resolve Christopher's anger. She seduced him, and Christopher was easily tempted by her provocation.They easily found themselves stripped, naked in bed, and right down to business."Fuck! Ahhh!"

A month after Joan gave birth. On a day without a caregiver, Cole alternately gave Robin and Mason a bath while Joan was resting after breastfeeding throughout the night. Cole came out from the bathroom with Mason, drying him on his crib. "Hey, buddy! You look so handsome! So much like me!" Remarked Cole. Seeing how Mason was stretching out his hands and turning red, he added, "Don't strain yourself, buddy. I know taking a bath feels so good." He put on Mason's diaper and changed him into his blue overalls before giving his little guy a kiss on the head. After looking at Mason with a grin on his face, feeling triumphant with being able to bathe and change his twins on his own, he suddenly heard a loud fart. The familiar and distinct smell filled his nostrils. "Damn." The smile on his face easily disappeared when he realized that Mason had pooped right after taking a bath and putting on a new diaper and clothes.&

"Damn, Chris. You look terrible," remarked Cole during Christopher and Olivia's visit.It was Joan's third day at the hospital and she was due to leave the following day. The twins, however, had to remain as they still needed to stimulate their sucking reflex and gain weight before getting discharged.Olivia and Christopher determined to pay a visit while Joan still had her hospital room.It was on the sofas where the men were catching up with each other."I look terrible?" Christopher sarcastically asked. He pointed a finger at Cole and said, "Just wait till your babies get home. I have one baby and you... you have two."With a frown, Cole leaned back and inquired, "What's that supposed to mean?"Narrowing his eyes at his best friend, Christopher revealed, "Even if you have hired a caregiver...

Three days passed.Just when Joan and Cole were expecting to deliver their babies at 36 weeks, the doctor announced in front of them, "your cervix is really dilating faster. I think... you will give birth tomorrow or anytime tonight."That made Joan frowned. She looked down at her belly and caressed it with concern written all over her face.Looking up to the doctor, she asked, "Will that be okay?""To be honest, we don't know for sure until they are out. Technically, they are still 34 weeks," responded the doctor. "In any case, we have already given your babies steroids to help mature their lungs. We hope that was enough intervention to make them breathe on their own."Joan felt teary-eyed, worried for her babies' condition. She asked, "What - what happens if they don't breathe on their own?""They will be put into a ventilator and given treatment to help them breathe, but let's hope that we have helped them enough, given the type of

There was a risk of her giving birth prematurely, and Joan needed more frequent monitoring.Now, at 34 weeks in the pregnancy, and after staying in the hospital for two full weeks, Joan was feeling completely emotional.She still had fourteen days to go, but she was feeling disgusted about herself.

"Babe, I have good news for you," said Cole, right after they came from their monthly visit with the doctor.Joan's belly had turned six months old and her doctor's appointment has been weekly, due to the fact that carrying twins was a high risk.While Joan was getting settled in the car, she asked with twinkling eyes, "What is it, babe? Are we going to eat... ice cream?""Ah, we could stop by the shop that offers... protein ice cream," said Cole before forcing a smile."Oooh... That should still be yummy, right?" Joan probed."Absolutely," acknowledged Cole. He helped buckle the seatbelt of his wife before going to the driver's seat and closing the car.After turning on the engine, he revealed, "Anyway, my surprise for you...

I'm telling you...Putting on panties? This does not even compare." She shrugged and added, "Just because I find it hard to bend does not make me a baby!""Stop scaring me." Christopher aided in putting on her sleeping dress and said, "Now... let me prepare our bed.""Okay, darling. Let me just get some water," said Olivia before walking out the door.Whi
