Chapter 12: Don't have to, but want to
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56My alarm just went off and I have been awake for the past 5 minutes. This happens all the time maybe because my body already knows what time to wake up? I stood up and went to the bathroom to clean my face.
I went into the kitchen and decided to cook breakfast for us. She must be tired after what happened last night. I can help but smile when I remember what happened last night. That felt like home. I wasn't even afraid after that. Why?
It's 7 am already but she's not awake yet. Isn't she going to work? I hope she does. Maybe she'll be late. Yeah, she should rest. Why the hell am I even talking to myself? I left a note on the table for her and decided to go to work already.
“Hey, are you listening?” Neo, my co-engineer asked. I was startled and went back to reality. “Y-yeah, what was it again? Sorry,” I said and shook my head.
“The materials are all ready. I just checked it, you should go and

It's been like three days since I got sick. I woke up to the noise in the living room. I checked my phone and it's only 5 am. I covered my face with a pillow and tried to sleep again but I couldn't. A few seconds later, I was startled due to the noise and knocked on my door. What the heck, can't a girl sleep peacefully? “Muff!” there's Michane. “Sei, wakey wakey!!” there's Krysyle. What in the bloody hell is going on? They're banging the door. We have neighbours too, neighbours that are they even doing here at this time of day?! I stood up, wore my brassiere, washed my face, walked towards that noisy door, and opened it. “It's only 5 in the morning, what in the bloody hell?!” I exclaimed while there they were, smiling sheepishly. “Ron Weasley, is that you?” Krysyle asked while giggling. “Krysyle, please. I'm not in the mood,” I said and just clung to my arms. “Hey

I woke up by 7 am, then stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Just simple clothes I packed for today, I wore a blue shirt, black high waist ripped jeans and sneakers. Broad grin and sparkling eyes on my face.What a great day! The beam of the light feels so warm as it touches one’s skin. I tied my hair in a high ponytail then picked up my mini backpack and put my umbrella, sanitiser, powder, face towel, lip oil, and of course my wallet inside.Then, I went outside and saw plates with covers on the dining table. There’s steak, bacon, eggs, ham, hotdogs, and bread. I can’t help but press my lips into a thin white line. How am I gonna finish all of these? Another thing, how is he so thoughtful? There’s a sticky note that says…“Hey, Mae. Good morning! Here’s breakfast. I know you four would do so much today. You need the energy to do all that. Eat as much as you can then feel free to

I woke up late because of how tired I was last night. My head and body feel so heavy and I am not liking how this day starts already. My mind starts to clutter again and this is out of the blue. I walked outside and went to the bathroom with my clothes to take a shower. It’s 6 am and I am getting ready already. I decided to cook breakfast for us since Clint is maybe asleep yet? Just right after I cooked, Clint got out of his room and went to the bathroom, then went to the kitchen. “You’re early today,” he said. I just nodded. I am sorry but I am just not in the mood to talk to people today. After a few more minutes, I am done eating and fixing my things. “You’re leaving already?” he asked and I just nodded and then left. I opened the cafe at exactly 7, then my staff just arrived. I told them that I would

I took a deep breath and faced him but I couldn’t speak. He’s looking at me smiling like a lunatic and I don’t know why. I hit him in the arm and he just laughed at me. Why is he so mean? Here I am crying in front of him but he’s just grinning like a dog who got treats right there. “Why are you smiling like a lunatic?” I asked as I raised my brow. He continued chuckling and said, “It’s just that, you look… unpretty when crying.” My eyes dilated and I hit him on his arm but he’s just laughing at me continuously. “You meanie!” I exclaimed. “You just glamorized the word, you could’ve just said I’m ugly instead! You meanie!” I exclaimed as he pointed at my eyes. “See? You’re not crying anymore. It’s better to see you pissed o

My alarm just went off and it’s 6 am. I am gonna be honest with all of you, I had a good night’s sleep. Please, don’t be malicious.It’s not about Clint, I just felt too relieved last night because of what Clint said, and I am flaming in a brand of pure joy.I stood up feeling enthusiastic and went to the bathroom. After cleansing my face, I walked into the kitchen with a bounce in my steps. I chuckled when he froze from stretching when he saw me.“You're early again, today?’ he asked and I just smiled and nodded.“Why do you keep saying that as if you always see me late?” I said and raised my brow while his face showed wrinkles in the corner of his eyes.“Maybe because these past few weeks it’s either you’re not going to work or you’re late,” he answered and my brows furrowed.“How’s your sleep?&rdq

We rode the horse for a while while the instructor was touring us, and the view was great. “You okay?” Clint asked and I shook my head with a smile. “I was just stunned by how this wondrous place looks,” I answered as I gazed upon the mountains beside us. “Have you had a good sleep?” he asked and I nodded again. “You’re asking me yet you’re the one who actually has dark circles underneath your eyes?” I asked and we both chuckled. “Hey, did you even listen to what Mr Argus said? Because it looked like you two were having a conversation as if you two were the only ones here,” Huxley exclaimed and they all made noises teasing us again. “If we were, then why interfe

I woke up with a smile that reached my ears. I can’t help but feel butterflies every time I remember what happened yesterday. The sweetest that I could ever imagine, the flame of devotion. I took my time showering while smiling like a kid who just got candy or ice cream. I wore simple jeans and a pink shirt then rubber runners. I combed my hair and let it fall. Used a little bit of lip gloss and I walked downstairs and saw him with a sweet smile present on his lips and even in his eyes that it caused wrinkles in the corner of his eyes. I serenely and slowly walked towards him. “Good morning,” I whispered with a smile. He paused for a second and smiled then turned to me. “Hey, good morning. D’you want something for breakfast?” he asked while directly looking into my eyes. “Anything. Where are they?” I asked and returned his gaze to what he’s cooking.

Good morning, everyone! Yes, I can't seem to stop myself from smiling every time I remember what happened last night. I skipped to the kitchen and saw Clint smiling ceaselessly while cooking breakfast.“Good morning!” I greeted with a sweet smile. He smiled back and leaned towards me.“Good morning, My Ichigo.” I was open-mouthed when I heard what he just said.He then chuckled and kissed me on my cheek then said, “Kawaii. I think you already know what Ichigo means. I knew it would be perfect for you.” How can he melt my health this easily?“You picked that because I love strawberries didn't you?” I raised my brow and she chuckled again then went back to cooking.“Yeah, you love strawberries. Also, I love the view every time you're as cute and red as strawberries, My Ichigo.”I can feel my chee

No! This can't be true. Am I so tired that I have fallen asleep? This is just a dream, right? Tell me this is just a dream! Wake me up, please... Wake me up... This can't be true. Mon Coeur is safe, he is safe, he is in the Maldives safely working. Clint is safe...My friends helped me and Anine stand. Each of them started to tear up too, but it hurts us more... Please tell me my man is safe. Please tell me he is just busy, that's why he can't message me. NO! HE AND HUXLEY ARE BOTH SAFE!I gathered all my strength and pulled myself up.“I gotta go. He is safe. He is not— My man is not on that plane! I have to make sure. I will go to their house and a-ask for an explanation!

I woke up due to the bangings and rings from the doorbell. I already know what this is.When I woke up this morning, I actually received a memo or a text from the head engineer of our company that I should take this day off.I don't really need this but they said someone insisted, and I think I already know who.I went to the bathroom first and fixed myself. It's 11 am and yes, I made sure I would get enough sleep today. I walked towards the door and opened it, of course, who else would be here.“For Pete's sake, it's already 11 and you just woke up?!” Anine exclaimed and I just went inside, so did they.“We heard you'll be free today so we thought why not go to the mall with you?” Krysyle asked and I just raised my brow at them.“Come on, Maesea. It's Clint's order. He called this morning asking if we could take you somewhere no

It has been three weeks already since Clint left and it feels so lonely without him. Solar and Lunar are now slowly growing up.He's busy indeed but he always makes time for us. He calls me day and night, messages me, he never forgets. He also misses the kittens a lot.Ever since he left, Lunar, Solar, and I chose to stay in his room rather than mine. His scent is still all over the place.Sometimes, when I miss him and have mental breakdowns, he sings to me during a call while I hug his shirt.I have not used an alarm also lately since Solar and Lunar were the ones to wake me up by 5 in the morning, licking my nose, purring in my ears, stepping on my tummy. They are the sweetest.

I just woke up and I was startled when I saw him sitting in front of me.“Good morning, my Ichigo. Had a good sleep?” he asked and immediately put a smile on my face.I slowly nodded and covered my face with my thin blanket while I chuckled.“That ain't hiding, Ichigo. Get up, we'll go visit your site then we'll go somewhere.”Then, as I saw the silhouette of his face getting closer, I heard him chuckle. Next thing I know, his lips already touched mine with the blanket in between.He went outside and as I heard the door close, I tried to breathe normally as I should be!I stood up, fixed myself up and faced the time. I went outside and saw him cooking.What in the bloody hell— It's cold season, 5 in the morning, why did it suddenly feel so hot? Not to mention we're on a high floor.&ldquo

“I'll be heading to a warehouse today and testing the materials. Then I'll be going back and checking the site again,” I explained while on a call with Clint on my way to the warehouse.“How about I bring you lunch—” I cut him off and couldn't help myself from smiling.“Mon Coeur, seriously. You don't have to. I'd buy myself a good lunch I promise, on my way back to the site. You eat something good too. I gotta go, I love you.”“Careful driving, my Ichigo. I love you most,” he retorted then I heard him chuckle on the other line.I took my helmet off and went inside the warehouse to have a talk with the manager. I have to check my materials before and after they are delivered to us, after all.Am I the only one who feels more fun going "shopping" for these kinds of stuff than at the department store?I chec

After dinner, Clint told me that I should take a bath first while he washed the dishes. Honestly, I don't even know how to face him anymore. If only I could lock myself up in a tower, far from here, like what happened to Rapunzel, I would have done that already. I nodded and followed what he said. I went to my room and took some clothes and my towel. When I entered the bathroom, my heart suddenly sank. The bathtub was ready, my favourite strawberry scent can be smelled all over the place. How can he think of this after what I did today? I sat in the tub and took my time cleansing myself... Well, maybe I am trying to clear my thoughts too. But I kept thinking about how I messed this up, how I made another mistake and how I am going to face him and my friends now. I've been there for quite a while, and when I heard Clint's footsteps towards the door, I decided to get up a

Why is it when I am already happy with the person I love, this is where it gets worse. Starting from what my mind thinks, to what my heart feels.“Had a nightmare?” a calm, soft, familiar voice asked. I turned to my side and saw him walking towards me. I smiled in return to assure him that I am fine but he won't believe me. I guess he really knows me more than anyone in a short period.“You know you can't lie to me. Come here,” he softly said and hugged me tightly.I took my time, hugged him as much as I could. I am fine and I think I just need some rest for a little while. Not physically but mentally so I could also rest emotionally.“I was about to wake you up when I saw you crying while being asleep,” he added and kissed the top of my head which calmed me down. Too lucky to have this person beside me.“It's just nothing, don't worry I'
Whiskers In Between Chapter 33: They're Back!
This month is full of fun. Filled with euphoria that can't be even imagined, it feels surreal. We did sea diving, hiking, sightseeing, going here and there, walking under the maple leaves, skydiving, but out of all those, what made it the best is the fact that I did all of those with the man that I never expected to come and love.I feel so happy, yet something's wrong. I feel too happy that I am scared of what may be its consequence. The euphoria is surreal and I can't help but overthink about things like, maybe something bad will happen.Notwithstanding, I brushed those thoughts away and thought of why not just focus on what's currently happening.“You're overthinking again,” he whispered as he wrapped his arms around me. I then turned to him and smiled.I shook my head and answered, “I am fine. It just feels surreal. But don't worry, I won't let this ruin me okay? How

“Clint, you're too good to be true. Do you even realize how you are like Maesea's favourite fictional character already?” Anine asked, making Clint and I laugh.“Muff has tons of crushes but all of them are fictional characters. Maybe from a movie, series, or mostly from books. It's like she was always daydreaming about them but never allowed suitors. Do you even get what I am saying? In short, that's how high her standards is.”“So that's the reason why you accepted me!” Clint exclaimed jokingly, making us all laugh.“So, how's yesterday?” Krysyle asked, making it so obvious that I told them almost everything about my life.“I surprised her,” Clint simply answered. He then fixed my hair and looked at me with a sweet smile on his lips.“He bought a couple's bracelet and a necklace? Okay, now I'm feeling the bittern
