Artemis' POV"Are you going to work now, Mama? Why are you going with her, Daddy?" Our kids looked at us in wonder when we took them to their school."I'm going to work now, Baby. Well, your Daddy can go to your school to watch over you if you want. Since he was actually unemployed right now," I said, making the children's eyes widen before shaking their heads. They even whispered as if what I said was a scary suggestion. I couldn't help but laugh softly at that."Daddy can come with you, Mama..." they said, laughing awkwardly. I also laughed softly when the father immediately pinched both of their cheeks.We are about to go to Manila but since Zelo decided to stay here now that the new president is starting to work, we didn't go anymore however we did celebrate his term. I don't know what Zelo's plan is for now, we haven't talked yet. However, I already told him that I'm really willing to court him and that's what I'm going to do right now.Since he was on vacation and sometimes work
Artemis' POV"Hey, Babe, we didn't have the chance to talk. You went back immediately.” I was going to work when I saw a man named Margus. They are at the table while having breakfast with their family. The woman yesterday also waved at Zelo. I looked at Zelo who raised his eyebrows now."Good morning, hope you are enjoying your stay in Hatty Resort," I greeted them before I continued walking. Zelo and I were together. I also immediately see his gaze on me."That guy is surely hitting on you," Zelo said when we went to the table near the shore. I just put my things down. Zelo will be hanging out here too now. Well, he was really enjoying his stay here in Cebu. Whenever I was taking a break, I saw him having fun trying the outdoor activities here in the resort. Probably enjoying his stress-free environment now."Aren't you going to say something?" he asked so I looked at him.“I told you no matter how many people hit on me, I don't really care at all. You are the only person I like, so
t that."As if you can cook. I thought you wanted to marry someone who's good at cooking, Zelo?” Ares asked. I immediately frowned at that. Well, I know how to cook just the basics."But I can cook," I said and thought of something that would benefit me."Your food tastes different," Zelo said so my lips parted and I looked at him offended."I won't cook for you then!” I said and was about to go further but he immediately grabbed my waist.“It tastes different in a nice way, Artemis. It tastes better when you are the one cooking," he retorted so I just rolled my eyes and didn't leave. When he looked back at me, he raised an eyebrow."Is that how you apply as a girlfriend? Even ruder than the one applying for?” he asked, laughing as he kept his hand on my waist."You two make me want to blind myself," Ares said who was just laughing earlier."You are an eyesore," he said again before trying to dial Seb's number."What if I kick you out too so it's not just your eyes that get damaged?"
Artemis' POV"It's very hands-on," Ares said teasingly as he returned to the house. He is homeless so I let him stay here."I didn't know that you really made a career out of being a lover, Artemis," he said."Don't wait for me to kick you out of the house, Ares." He pouted before begging me to talk to his wife again. As if I could do something for them.I left him at home and went to the law firm that Zelo was working for today. He is already building a new law firm here in Cebu. He is so busy with that. He is also talking to engineers about that. He is really hands-on with his work so I can't stop bringing food for him and some who work there. Even just a dish is fine.That's already my routine for how many days. Sometimes I just deliver it when I'm busy at the resort. It's either the two of us are at the resort or at the firm.I arrived there after a while. They are all busy with their work. Some of Zelo's workers immediately greeted me there."I brought lunch, I'm going to put it
Artemis' POVZelo: I did. What about you and the kids? Have you eaten? Can I call?A smile immediately curved my lips when I read the message from Zelo. I immediately straightened up in my seat before reading his text to me.Me: Finish working? Alright...Less than a few seconds later, he was already calling. It's like I'm melting when I sit on the sofa."Are you done with your work?" I asked him. Zelo is in Manila now. Something is being taken care of briefly regarding the law firm he is building here in Cebu. He'll start to work again but this time with the job that he really likes. He has always wanted to be a Judge and he'll start being a lawyer first. I'm just glad that he will pursue what he loves now."I'm done now... How about you? How's your work?" he asked. I just told him what happened to my day. The smile on my lips could not be erased while telling the story. I used to dream of this. Just us talking with each other on the phone and just talking about random things. About
Artemis' POV"Good morning, Ms. Artemis," Ms. Brown greeted me. She is so pretty with her natural makeup. Her white skin tone dominated us all."Good morning, Ms. Brown.” I greeted her team too. Juan Clud and his wife also got out of the car while greeting excitedly.They did the same with Zelo, who was behind me. We are going on our tour today. We are going to island hop.I just let them go one by one. I also helped Manong Lito, one of the boatmen I worked with, to guide them.When it's Zelo's turn, I smile brightly at him."I hope you enjoy the trip, Sir..." I said with a smile on my face. His eyebrows only raised but the smile on his lips was also wide. My lips immediately parted as he effortlessly lifted me and put me on the boat. He even laughed softly when he saw how I was slightly surprised. I just shook my head at him. I cleared my throat when I saw his friends looking at us while grinning. Ms. Brown also had a smile while looking at the two of us.I cleared my throat and prof
Artemis' POVZelo is really confusing me. He is always hot and cold. I don't really know what's with him because for the rest of the trip, he was already not in the mood. I looked at him but he wasn't even trying to steal glances at me.I just cleared my throat while walking back to the boat."You know what I really enjoy that time when we spend the night together for the campaign to love the Philippines," Ms. Brown said making me almost stop walking. Spend the night together... It doesn't mean anything, Artemis. Stop thinking about what.“I would love to do that again! I hope you have time again, Mr. President!” It was just a friendly exclamation but why do I feel like something tugged in my heart?"Oh, you two spend the night together? Where? Is that in Bataan? Is that the article that came out that you two dated?" I don't know why Juan Cloud sounds so annoying. I can't help but frown. I don't even realize that my pace is getting faster and their voice is getting weaker. The last qu
Artemis' POVWe ended up going out of the house. We are in the garden now. He put a cardigan to me and gave me the milk as well."Thank you..." I said softly before pouting."You are welcome..." he said before sitting beside me. I just watch him sip on his glass of milk before talking."What's the thing that was upsetting you?" I asked while meeting his eyes now. He pouted and even frowned at me now.“What are we, Artemis? Aren't we together yet? Am I assuming too much?” he asked. He was just staring at me now. My lips slowly parted there before I pouted.“Is it because of Juan Cloud's question? I'm sorry. I wanted to talk to you about it first. I don't want to assume things and decide on my own. To begin with, we are the ones who will be in a relationship together…”"Alright. I had fault there too. I thought you already knew when I said that I'm in love with you." "That's why I wanted to talk to you. I don't want to just say that we are when you aren't comfortable going back to me y
