Chapter 31: Break The Cycle

Not everyone has a chance to experience quality family time in the midst of this scary pandemic. I guess I have to sincerely savor every minute I am in this moment for those who’ve been missing it and wanting to be in my place.“I don’t think I can still eat dinner. These pancakes are so fluffy and I had three,” I said.“Just walk around and soon you’ll burp. After that, you’ll feel hungry again,” Bobby said.“Yes, you need to make room for dinner. We’ll have barbeque featuring my special marinade,” Auntie Blessy said.“I should’ve taken a nap this afternoon so I could skip these pancakes and eat a lot later,” I said.“It’s useless. Once you’ve tasted your Auntie Blessy’s barbeque, you will surely ask for more whether you still have space in your stomach or none,” Uncle Rex said complimenting his wife’s signature marinade.“How long have you been married?” I asked.“Good question. Dear, what do tell anyone who asks?” Auntie Blessy said.“We’ve been married in civil for thirty yea

Chapter 32: The Battle Begins

“Don't you know that you have to keep your eyes on the road when driving,” I reminded Bobby as he drives the car while constantly looking at the mirror to see me.“What’s there to watch on the road? We are the only one driving here and the most beautiful spot is there at the back,” he said.“Seriously,” I said.“Alright. I will. So, I’ll pick you up this Wednesday?” he asked.“This Wednesday already? I’ve not even reached home,” I told him.“Much later then?” he asked with less enthusiasm in his voice.“Let’s say…Saturday again?” I suggested.Bobby’s eyes grew bigger as I saw them on the mirror.“Really? I’d love that!” he said. He got excited.“But I’m going home in the evening,” I said. I realized that we are now in the stage when we are getting to know each other better. Coming to their house is no longer just a friendly visit.“Is it because we are dating now?” he asked. He thought the same way.“Yes, Sir,” I said.“In some countries, when they say that their status is ‘da

Chapter 33: Clash of the Cuties

The cable program started with a live quick recap of previous featured young corporates then proceeded with the recorded profile discussion of the latest featured young corporates. They featured Quim and Bobby side by side as if they were opponents in a boxing match. It’s a good thing that in boxing, the winner is determined by scoring or by knock outs, and not by feelings or whoever is nicer. They’re big boys so I just let them play.“Gentlemen, I don’t need to ask but your credentials tell us that you have known in each other from way back,” the host started.He’s correct. Quim and Bobby have almost similar credentials except that Bobby has other fields where he excels while Quim focuses more in developing new software where he is really good.“From schools to sports, you’re almost the same. Was there some kind of a competition while growing up?” the host added.“He’s my boss so if there was any competition, he surely was the winner,” Bobby said wittingly.“I don’t play any sports

Chapter 34: Unexpected Star

“Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the show! Last Sunday, we featured two gentlemen from IT & S, a start-up tech company led by its president and CEO Joaquim Balaguer and vice president and head of marketing Jose Roberto Alonzo. We call them simply by Quim and Bobby respectively,” the main host said.“And oh boy, didn’t we get tons of inquiries about those two guys? We couldn’t believe we would get that much attention by having them on the show,” the co-host said.“And the questions were more on their personal lives,” the main host said.“Some even complained that they don’t have socmed accounts,” the co-host said.“I could feel their frustration. Imagine our viewers wanting to know more about them but couldn't find those cute details elsewhere,” the main host said.“That’s why they bombarded us with lots of questions about those two,” the co-host said.“So, to save time, we chose the top 3 questions we received and the corresponding answers that we got straight from Quim and Bo

Chapter 35: Curiosity

Auntie Blessy, as always, treats me with special attention every time I come to visit their house and I am doing it weekly. I guess I could say that she really likes me for his son. “I couldn’t believe when I heard it from Bobby. I was excited and even more excited now that you are here and I can hear it from you,” she said to me.“Mom, please,” Bobby said.“What did Bobby tell you exactly?” I asked.“What else but you’re dating. Is that true?” she said.“Yes but it’s the kind of dating that is still more of courtship. We are still in the getting-to-know-you stage. IWe are not dating as in dating,” I said.She looks at me as if analyzing me. For the first time, I feel a little uneasy in front of her. I thought I offended her with my explanation.“You’re exactly Bobby’s type,” she said with a big smile on her face. I realized Bobby took that smile from her.“I’m not sure what he wants exactly,” I said. “My Bobby loves courtship. He’s an old school suitor. He loves walking h

Chapter 36: New And Powerful Nemesis

“Wow!” That’s the first and only word that I uttered when I finally found and saw the real Rocio’s picture. She is young and very pretty. I remember seeing that kind of beauty from those TV commercials when I was younger. For the first time, I feel some insecurity inside me. I try to brush it off by looking at Bobby’s photos while Ally is in Quim’s house for his photoshoot along with the photographer and of course, Rocio the editor-in-chief.I keep convincing myself that I have Quim and Bobby vying for my attention and that I should be in no way insecure even if someone as pretty as her comes near any of them.The sound of incoming message excites me.“We’re done. I’m calling you in a few,” Ally said in her message.I've never been this excited to hear from my sister who constantly nags me and reminds me of the things I still have to achieve in my life.The time seems dragging. Ally hasn’t reached home and she has no follow up text. I don’t know if it’s because of boredom or of m

Chapter 37: Power Couple

I can’t sleep. Quim’s strong words still affect me. How could he say such mean words to me? He said I was playing on his feelings but I wasn’t. It was truly an honest mistake that turned stupid.Thankfully, Bobby is here. He’s always on the rescue. He exerts effort to make me feel special. Ironically, when I wanted to return the favor by complimenting him, that mistake happened.“I’ll have a video call meeting with Rocio tomorrow morning. We’ll discuss the content of the article. It should be very quick,” he said.I pretend not to know about it beforehand. “That’s good that they also give you time and not just the cover boy,” I said.I can hear him laugh on the other line.“Why? I asked.“You’re really competitive. We are already dating. You can say his name any time without penalty,” he said.“It’s fine. I don’t want to say his name anyway,” I said.“Did something happen between the two of you recently?” he asked.I was taken a back. My foolishness is on high alert today.

Chapter 38: Secrets

To call me a guest in Bobby’s parents’ house is no longer accurate. My once a week visit for a quick afternoon tea has become a weekly long hour visit and it’s going on for several months now. And every time I come here, new development happens.It may be too much or too early to say but I feel like I’m part of their family now. “What do you want me to cook next week?” Auntie Blessy asked.“Can we have pasta next time?” Bobby asked.“Audrey, how about you?” she asked me specifically.“Actually, I want some dishes that pair with rice. I’m a rice person,” I answered.“Alright. More new pork and beef dishes next time,” she said.“How about my pasta?” Bobby asked.“We can have them on ordinary days,” she said.That’s one thing I love about coming here. They always treat me special. This is definitely my kind of home.“Knock on our door when it’s time for the afternoon tea,” Auntie Blessy told us.It’s a cue for us to spend time together alone.“They're so nice. If I were you, I woul

Chapter 39: Bare Minimum

It was another fun-filled day with my Bobby's family. This time, I came back to my parent’s house with a new relationship status with this guy who is so happy and proud to be with me.“I prefer that you meet them properly next week,” I told Bobby about meeting my parents.“I agree. Let’s not shock them today,” he said.To be honest, it’s not really a big deal if I introduce him to them tonight. I’m of legal age and even if I am unemployed, I am not completely hopeless. However, part of me isn’t ready yet. I don’t know why but I just know tonight isn’t the right time.“Thank you for understanding. I’ll condition their minds first,” I said.“I want to meet your sister too,” he said.“Of course. I’ll let you meet her and her family as well,” I said.“Wow! I’m getting more family,” he said like we were already getting married.“So, next week again?” I said.“Can we see each other at least twice a week?” he asked.“That could be arranged,” I said.He smiled at me. This time, it’s mo

Chapter 40: Excuses

I look at myself in the mirror trying to find any differences in me. This is silly, I know. It’s not the first time I entered a relationship but I am acting as if something about me or in me changed after I agreed to be Bobby’s girlfriend. Am I being more careful now that I’m older and have had nothing but the graduation certificate I received after seven years in college?My cellphone shows one missed call from Quim. I tried my best to ignore it and I succeeded for the first time. I guess I really want my new relationship with Bobby to go somewhere. Maybe, I really matured.My mother seems excited after knowing we will have a guest next week.“How many dishes should I cook? It’s been a long time since I cooked for a guest,” she said.“We can have two dishes only. I can order the rest,” I said.“What’s the point eating here if we will only serve take outs?” she said.“Just cook two dishes here then let’s order lechon. I miss it,” my father said.“Oh, don’t use this occasion to
