Chapter 22: The wait is over!
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I felt pressure—like heaviness around me but it feels comfortable for me somehow.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw this man in front of me, and his face was only a few centimetres apart from mine.
How can he look so cute and handsome at the same time? His arms were wrapped around me and I felt secure, I felt safe.
How can he melt my heart early this morning without even doing anything?
“Enjoying the view, my little ichigo?”
I was startled when he suddenly whispered and even smirked with his eyes closed.
He slowly opened his eyes and gave me another of his sweet smiles. He th

I opened my eyes and saw no one beside me. Maybe he's early today, or maybe I am just late. I checked my phone and it was already 7 am, I was totally late. I rushed to the bathroom and took a shower, then went to the kitchen and ate breakfast. After eating breakfast, I rushed to my cafe and saw everyone there, so chaotic. “You okay? You look in haste,” Krysyle mentioned and she just smiled and shook her head. “I thought I was late and obviously I am, so I got here in haste. Have you all had your coffee?” I asked in return and they all smiled then shook their heads. “Let's have coffee while planning how 'bout that?” I added and they all agreed and gave their orders one by one while I asked Mari, Lizy, a

As soon as we got home, I immediately went to my room and changed clothes, then jumped off and lay on my bed a few moments after, I felt the door open and suddenly, my lamp turned on.“They say that people who walk too quiet or if you can't hear their footfall, those kinds of people are dangerous,” I said and he just chuckled then hugged me.“Okay, I'll take it back. Do you realize how you are serene and just there listening and chuckling when you're with your friends and here you are so sweet like a baby when you're with me?” I asked and he shook his head.“Is it bad? That I am clingy?” he murmured and I couldn't help but laugh.He sat right up again and kissed my forehead then s

I woke up due to what I just felt and because of the dream that I just had. I opened my eyes and took a deep breath. I shook my head then stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face.I went to the kitchen and immediately saw a figure. I went to him and hugged him from the back. I hate it every time I dream of something bad. It ruins my day and worse, it leads me to overthink.But for some unknown reason, I felt safe and better when I hugged him. Especially when he turned around and embraced me back.“Something wrong?” he asked with his soft voice and kissed me on the top of my head.I turned my head up and slowly smiled at him then nodded. He caressed and held my cheek then gave me a sweet smile.

We just got home and I went straight to my room to get change. I honestly am tired but it was a lot of fun spending time with them. I wanted to start after I prepared my materials but Clint just told me that I wouldn't have to do that anymore.After I got changed, I went to his room and as soon as I opened the door, I was open-mouthed by the view. I am sorry but this ain't some kind of drama where the girl feels awkward and blushes then turns around immediately.“I didn't know that that cute face has been hiding this kind of figure all this time,” I said trying to imitate what he said earlier this afternoon.He turned around and wore his shirt then walked towards me with a smirk.“Are you checking me out Ms Hearts?” he asked as he slowly wrapped his arm around my waist and slowly pulled me closer to him.“Mr Sevani, I hope you didn't forget wha

This is finally my first day at work after a few months of not holding a blueprint. But today, I decided to start with something simple and not that big first. I hope you get what I say.“Would you like it to be overground or just the usual?” I asked my first client as they scan the portfolio thoroughly that I prepared for the pool designs.“Can we still put it like a fountain in the middle though?” Mrs Howard asked and I smiled at her and nodded.“Can we do it with glass? Can you put a light on it? Can we do it on the edge of the glass? Like it would look like the glass glows each night?” she added with her questions and a sweet smile on her face.“Can you? I'm sorry if my wife asks too much,” Mr Howard asked with a smile that reached to his eyes as he looked at his wife.I smiled at them and shook my head. “As your engineer,

I just came back from Mr and Mrs Howard's house after showing them the sketch that I made and they both gave me a thumbs up. It's almost lunch and I am still finalizing the blueprint so that I can talk to the workers as soon as possible.“It's almost lunch, want me to just buy you something?” I turned my head up and saw Clint standing by the door.“It's okay. How about we pick up Chi and Huxley at their place then we go visit Anine and Leiner at school? I'm just messaging Krysyle so that they could meet us up there.”“Are you sure? Aren't you done yet? I can wait, don't worry,” he answered, then I shook my head and smiled at him.“Their lunch isn't that long. I haven't seen them in a while, I miss them.” He smiled at me and nodded then held my bag and opened up the door for me.We just arrived at Michane's place. “Is this your

Few weeks have passed and the pool is finally done and I am very happy that the couple were very much happy about how it turned out.I am currently at the cafe and to visit them for a little while and maybe help a little bit.“Muff!” I turned around and saw each of my friends walking towards me. I returned with a smile and as they hug me as if they hadn't seen me in years.“Finally, after weeks of not seeing, you're finally free! Should we go out of town?” Michane exclaimed in so much excitement.“Sorry, we can't. Our prelim is close. We still have a lot of books to read,” Levine said and Krysyle nodded.“I have a full schedule for the whole month. Many have been travelling these past few days since Christmas is near. Plus, Anine and I have plans,” Huxley said while Michane smiled like a lunatic trying to tease them.

After I bought us breakfast, I prepared the food and placed it on our bed. I am feeling bothered by how serene Maesea is today.She may answer me but I can clearly feel the two emotions that can be sensed from the way she speaks. Coldness and melancholy.“Ichigo, there's something wrong. You know you can tell me—” I haven't even finished my words yet when she looked me straight in the eye trying her best not to show emotions through her eyes.Right there and then, I already knew she's having her anxiety again, overthinking about something. She's hurting, again. Over something, I don't even know.“There's nothing wrong. I'm fine.” It was a mixture of frustration, guilt, and pain that I can see in her voice, then she continued her breakfast.“Ichigo, I know you too well—” Again, I was cut off by her saying, “You don't know

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! Th-this must be a joke...” I said as tears were continuously falling from my eyes.“S-sei, he's fine okay? We'll go with you—” I didn't even bother listening and just brushed their hands o

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
Whiskers In Between Chapter 38: See you in a week
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
