(Juliet's POV)

I don't know what's going on right here, but it almost seemed as if I'm being played by these people. I kinda accepted Jason to sleep in the house only because it was late already, and I wouldn't want anything to happen to him since he came down here to please my son. He said he would sleep on the couch, and I agreed.

"He can't sleep on the couch either, mom." Eric said, straining his eyes directly at me. "The couch is hard and stiff. It will only give him body pains. We don't want that, do we?"

I was dumbfounded. Since when did my reticent son become so outspoken and bold? I mean, the highest words I've seen my son speak at once is barely past a hundred. He literally changed. Or, was I the one that was getting to know my own son right now?

I looked at Jason to see what he was doing. His gaze went down to the floor immediately our eyes locked.

"What do you suggest?" I asked, standing akimbo.

"There's the mattress you spread for me when I was little. He can sleep on that

    (Jason's POV)I felt my hands yanked off in a flash. I didn't understand what had happened or what was happening. The sounds of someone rushing to his feet woke me up. It was Juliet. But why did she bolt off from the bed like that?"What the hell was that?" She muttered silently under her breath. It was morning, so everywhere was silent enough for me to hear her clearly.I think I understand what is happening now. She had bolted off from the bed because of me. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to find out that Eric was no longer between both of us. I didn't think at all. I just found my hands draw at Juliet, cuddling her in between my arms. It was those same arms she had yanked off."Ouch, that hurts. My pride feels punctured. I didn't know you would feel like I was committing a crime by cuddling with you." My eyes twitched, melancholic. I gravely commented on how I felt about her actions. It was embarrassing that Juliet now feels that my arms were a form of violation to

    (Alice’s POV)“Juliet, c-can you come around? Like, right now. I need you.” I said over the phone, resisting the urge to break down crying. I really can’t believe that Judah would ever think about breaking up with me. All because I mentioned surrogacy? At least, he should understand that I brought it up because I’m in dire need of my own child. And, aren’t we both?“Okay, okay. I’ll be on my way now.” Juliet responded, and I ended the call.Some minutes after I dropped the call, I heard the sounds of tires screeching at the front of the gate. I wondered if Juliet was already here, or if it was just Judah returning to the house. I strained my neck through the window and saw Juliet’s car making its way into the garage.She hurriedly pulled up, and came out of the car. The door was unlocked, so she turned the handle and there I was, standing right at the entrance, looking at her.“Is everything okay?” She asked, running towards me.“To be honest? I am not entirely sure again.” I said, sn

    Chapter 70(Alice’s POV)“When will you guys be here? The party will be starting anytime soon.” Judah yelled over the phone. I didn’t need to check before knowing he was on the phone with the people who were supposed to deliver the drinks. Everything else was set, just the drinks — and the cakes which were handled by Juliet.I was dumbfounded after learning about the fact that I was pregnant. Nobody had expected it, not even me. It came as a shock when the medical test I thought would read ‘malaria’ instead read ‘pregnant’.“We have to celebrate this! I can’t describe how happy I am right now.” Judah had said when I informed him about the baby. Before I knew it, he had picked up the phone and called half of our relatives.The party would be holding today. Juliet was the one in charge of the cake. She said it was a part she had to fill, voluntarily. Since she was no stranger in our house, she brought everything she needed there and started the preparations in the kitchen.“You are supp

    (Juliet's POV)"Let's gather around, please." Judah said, clinking the glass with a spoon. He got everyone's attention at once, as we all gathered ourselves to where he stood with Alice, locking hands together.He beamed with a bright smile and I read meaning to it. He was really happy right now, no doubt. The way he kept on stealing glances at Alice could prove it how drowned he is in his joy. I'm happy for him, to be honest. If you talk about patience, Judah really had a lot of it."I appreciate everyone here right now for sparing their time to celebrate me and my wife. Even if you are all friends and family, you are all worthy to be appreciated. I mean, we all waited for ten years, but see how miracles work. I can't describe how happy I am right now, but I know even if you all can't see it, you can all feel it." He pulled Alice to his side, wrapping his arms around her waist and grinning from ear to ear."I really appreciate all of you, really. Let's have a toast to more good news.

    Chapter 72(Juliet’s POV)I withdrew my lips immediately I noticed how much gazes were fixated on the both of us. All the pretty feelings I felt some moments ago were replaced by timidity and awkwardness. I gently stood up from Jason’s chest, still clung up to his feet.“Are you alright?” He asked gently in a whispering tone into my ears. I dusted my clothes, and nodded with a smile.“Yes, I’m fine. Are you?” He nodded too, and we both withdrew a little bit back from the game spot.“You guys are out. You fell.” Judah said, laughing hardly along with everyone. I was not so sure of what they were laughing about. Who knows if it was because we were out of the game, or because of the lovey-doveyd staring game we were playing after we fell. Whichever one it was, I didn’t really care much about it. I gestured my finger at the rope that still bound us both, and Judah moved unto us to untie it.“Next is Harry and his wife.” Judah announced while everyone cheered out loudly. We knew we needed

    (Jason’s POV)I wouldn’t overstate it, but then it won’t be a lie either if I said all I could think about when I was in the office was about the date I would be going with Juliet. It reached a point where my secretary had to touch my arm before I jeered back to reality. She said I must have been long lost in thoughts, and yes, I was.I re-checked the place I have booked for the date earlier today. Even that was a hard choice. I had to constantly suffer from the decision to see if going to sailing in Newport in Rhode Island would be better, or if I should take a hot air balloon ride in Albuquerque. In the end, I didn’t choose either of them. I ended up choosing the Grand Carousel Bar since it was closer, and I think, more elegant.It was almost 6pm. I picked up my phone to briefly remind Juliet about the date again, and confirm her availability. For all I know, she might no longer be available, so checking in to confirm would be a wise thing to do.“Good evening. I’ll come to pick you

He kept on whispering into my ears about how Jason was waiting for me right outside, but I needed to pan things out at first before I leave the bakery. I don’t want to get back and find out almost all the orders have been mismatched with the wrong delivery.“Are you sure you have properly packed all the orders for the birthday party of the CEO of Romanoff Company? I won’t get skinned alive because of you.”“Of course, you won’t. I already did all of that.”“What about the delivery? Have you checked in with…?”“I got it covered. I got everything covered, ma’am.

    Chapter 75(Juliet’s POV)I was ready even before Jason called to tell me he would soon be coming. It was a Wednesday evening, but I was not in my bakery. I waited at home instead to graciously pick a beautiful dress. I wanted this last date to happen so badly. Not because I wanted to get rid of Jason, but because I’m so eager to know what my decision will be after all.I sat on the couch, smiling at all the memories of our past we shared when we were together. Now that I look at it, it was so funny remembering the facial expression that was plastered on Jason’s face when the news about our marriage being fake first got revealed. It was a funny distress face that just happened to pop up in my head right now. I chuckled gently at it.My phone rang afterwards, and on the screen display was Jason’s name. I knew he was calling me to see if I was ready to be picked up. I picked the call.“Hello.”“See you in the next three minutes?”“Yes, I’m ready.” I said, and he dropped the call. I brie

  • This Time The Dream's On Me   Epilogue

    (Juliet’s POV)For some weeks now, I’ve kept noticing that something was wrong with me. Especially my mood, the way it goes on and off is really worth to be questioned. The worst part would probably be how some of my favorite foods were starting to irritate me and make me feel as if I wanted to puke.“Are you alright?” Jason asked with Eric in his laps. Both of them were staring at me as I hit my chest for the fourth time in a row. They noticed that something was off about how I was behaving, and the way I had shaped my mouth too.“Mom?” Eric asked, and I nodded.“I am alr…” I had wanted to respond both of them that I was okay. And that I was only feeling something rise up in me abnormally, but I was cut short by the way the ‘thing’ suddenly gassed up inside me, fueled. I ran to the toilet, burying my head inside the water sink, and letting myself pour out all that vomit.Jason was behind me, covering Eric’s face as I puked into the white sink. He softly pulled him behind him, moving

    (Juliet’s POV)The wedding party was over. The only thing left right now was for the newly wedded couples to leave for their honeymoon.I couldn’t possibly count how many wishes and prayers were devoted towards Jason and me with each steps we took. It was as though there were people placed around everywhere we were walking past.“Hey girl, you are good.” Alice said, kissing me on the cheek and hugging me so tightly. “Make sure tonight is memorable. Check your luggage, I dropped something in it. Make sure that’s what you wear tonight.”“You are naughty.” I said, spanking her on the butt. I knew exactly what she was talking about. I didn’t need anybody to tell me Alice was fantasizing about me having sex with Jason tonight, but it was less awkward compared to the first time, actually.“That’s what makes life spicy, no?” She said and we both burst out laughing. Jason pulled up the car in front of me, meaning that everything was set and we were supposed to leave already. I hopped into the

    (Juliet’s POV)Alice rushed into the toilet, vomiting into the white sink that was right in front of her. She opened the tap and cleaned her mouth with the water that ran through it. I was behind her, watching her as she cleaned herself up. While she did her thing, all that was in my mind was fear. Was my best friend sick when it is the morning of my wedding day? Oh shit, I hope not.“Are you alright? Is everything okay?” I asked, moving closer to her as I wiped her wet face off with the handkerchief that was with me. She stood up upright and looked at me, nodding as a response to my question.“Yeah, I’m okay. I was just dizzy and suddenly felt irritated inwardly. That was why I vomited. Nothing is wrong with me, so put your mind at rest and let’s get you prepared.” She said, plastering a smile on her face. However, I still had some doubts about Alice. Part of me felt like she was only pretending to be strong because she didn’t want me to feel guilty as I would head down the alter lat

    (Juliet’s POV)I went to the bridal shop to get my wedding gown. Alice and Julia asked to tag along to check how perfect it was. There was Adam too who begged to follow; I allowed him since he was gay anyways, and seeing me in the wedding gown wouldn’t mean a thing to him.We got to the bridal shop wherein I went into the changing room to put my wedding gown on. Alice, Julia and Adam waited for me outside the changing room, straining their eyes to see what I was going to show them anyways. I was done putting on the wedding gown, so I pushed aside the curtain at the changing room, stepping outside with so much finesse and beauty. I had hardly taken more than two steps when I was met with series of claps from the three of them. It sounded like a rainstorm, carrying so much of excitement.“Wow. Your gown is preeeeetty. I’m jealous.” Alice said, holding the tip of the gown and caressing it with so much care. I blushed at her words, praising myself for having a good eye for the gown, and c

    (Juliet’s POV)I was going to be getting married to Jason few days after today. We were both in the room right now looking through the list of what we needed for the wedding to confirm if we haven’t left anything out at all. Jason and I skimmed through the lists, checking out what we already have ready on ground.“The wedding gown?” Jason asked, holding out the list.“Checked. Although I will have to go check it out in my room later.” I replied, and he ticked it up in the list that was with him.“I think we are all set. Everything is ready and all checked. I’m really happy and anxious.” Jason said, dropping the list to hold my hands.“Yeah, me too. I can’t describe how happy I am right now.” I said, burying my head under his broad chest. “I will be leaving your hotel room to mine today though. I won’t be staying with you here again. It’s our wedding soon, we can’t keep on seeing each other.”He scratched his head playfully, giving me a type of gaze that suggested to me that he underst

    (Juliet’s POV)It was so surprising when I suddenly heard a group of people said ‘congratulations’ at the same time behind me, and clapping towards us. I withdrew my lips from Jason’s, trying to see who they were. They were my family. Julia, Alice and Judah too were among them. I saw Eric’s face twitching with delight. I figured out he understood what was going on even if he was just a little kid.“I’m happy for you, Juliet.” Alice said, wrapping her hands around me. I did the same, too, patting my best friend in the back as she started wishing me good luck and prayers. It would be an understatement to say that everything that happened here today, and that was going to happen in the future, regarding my happiness with my family, was all because of Alice. She was a friend that stood by me through my thick and thin. Even I didn’t know how well I could thank Alice. But, I started it simple first.“Thank you.” I said, as tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered everything I had been th

    Chapter 86(Juliet’s POV)Julia was still deeply hug within my grasp when the door handle turned and the door flung open. It was our mom. She rushed towards us, making the ‘awwn’ sound about our reconciliation.“Mom? What are you doing here?” Both Julia and I asked at the same time. We thought we had asked all of them to leave the room for us when we were about to talk. Who knew mom was still by the door eavesdropping on everything we had said? Hehehe.“I heard everything, darlings. I couldn’t resist the urge to put my ears behind the door and listen to all that you were saying. And it so lovely and beautiful to know that both of my daughters have been able to solve their differences and finally reconcile. I’m so happy right now.” Mom said, while both of us sisters beamed with a large smile.Mom had hardly spoken when dad appeared too behind. Apparently, he had heard everything too, but was not going to show up till he sees how we were going to take it. He shoved his face through the

    (Juliet’s POV)“Why exactly are you so jealous of me?” I asked again. This time around, her eyes twitched but she still burst into laughter. Of course I knew she was only trying to hide the fact at first, she was still going to come back to her senses?“What the hell do you mean ‘hate’ and ‘jealous’ of you? Like, I literally have everything you don’t have, babe. I have the perfect body that turns men’s heads; I’m so pretty a stranger would beg to stare at me for hours; my model-like body is a killer, and literally, everyone fucking loves me where you are despised. So, why would I even bother to care about you at all when you aren’t a threat to me in any way?” She asked, laughing maniacally. This time around, she had stopped leaning back on the entrance and was standing on her own right now.“Well, you tell me, because the signs of your jealousy are there, sis. You are literally so jealous of me and I don’t know why you would fail or be blind to believe that you are. You aren’t being t

I don’t even know where I was right now. My sight was first blurry at first before it started to become as clear as day. I tilted my head to my right side and found Alice sitting beside me on a plastic chair. Both of my parents were sitting at the left side, while Simone was standing by the foot of the bed, his head was buried into his palms.“What happened? Where am I?” I asked, and everyone’s attention went right back to me. It was as if they had heard something sinister because they all sprung up immediately, checking me out to see if I had really just talked.“Are you okay, my daughter?” My mom asked and I nodded. I noticed the drip that was being passed into me as I tried to sit upright on the bed. The headache flushed over me immediately as I moved it upwards. “You should rest. You are not okay fo
