Chapter 41: Dad's New Favorite

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

Mom and Dad stand next to each other mesmerized by what they are seeing in front of them. Needless to say that my mother is star-struck by this tall, handsome guy with great physique and charming smile. Today’s not the first time she saw him but this time, they really go face to face. “I just saw you on TV recently. You looked good on that show but you look even better in person,” she said like she was a big fan. “Thank you, Auntie. You’re more beautiful up close,” Bobby said. He starts to court to her. As for my dad who calls himself the standard of male beauty, which of course is only a joke to me and my sister, he’s eyes are glued to that precious pig that’s smelling so good from inside its box. It shames the pork belly lechon he waited for a week to be delivered. I woke up early this morning to prepare fresh fruit salad and juices for lunch but my parents woke up way earlier. Mom was excited to welcome our first guest since the lockdown began while Dad was surely excited f

Chapter 42: Girlfriend Duty

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

I knew Bobby was approaching but I wasn’t sure if it was me he called “babe”. I’m still holding my cellphone where I was reading Ally’s message with pictures taken in Quim’s property. “Me?” I asked. “You don’t like it?” he asked looking a little embarrassed. “Oh, that’s your term of endearment,” I said. “Our term of endearment. I thought it was just okay. I shouldn’t assume you’d go for it without asking you,” he said. “No..no..it’s totally fine. I was just surprised,” I explained my shock. “No. We should decide on that both. So, tell me what do you prefer?” he asked. “Call me whatever you want,” I said. “You’re not into this thing, aren’t you? But it’s fine,” he said. “C’mon, you’re making me feel bad. Let’s stick with that,” I said. “So, I’ll call you ‘babe’ then,” he said. “Baby, babe, whatever,” I said. He came closer and hugs me. “Good thing my name rhymes with ‘baby’ or ‘by’,” he said while still embracing me. I backed off a little. “Hey, I’m sorry. I’m a h

Chapter 43: Chance We Did Not Take

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

Mom, Ally, and I stare at this tall basket of imported luncheon meat, corned beef, Spanish sardines, and other canned goods that are not readily available in regular groceries. “Please don’t touch it. I will send it back,” I told them. “Send it back? After I brought it here, you would just send it back?” Ally asked. “Sorry, I don’t want to receive these items,” I said. “What's the matter with you? If you don’t want it, I’ll bring it home,” Ally said. “I heard Ally. Is she here now?” Dad asked coming down from their room upstairs. We let him see the basket of canned goods. “What is that?” he asked. “Hon, it’s obviously food basket with all imported canned goods,” Mom said. “Where did that come from?” he asked. “I came from lunch with Audrey’s former boss. He asked me to deliver this to her,” Ally said. Dad couldn’t help but burst in laughter. “The young billionaire we were talking about during lunch today?” he asked. Mom and I nodded. “What was he thinking? We can buy

Chapter 44: Silent Nemesis

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

One thing is certain about this pandemic crisis – it’s not that strong enough to hold the time from moving. Time may seem to have stopped for a while but it didn't. My relationship with Bobby is flourishing. Setting aside the confusing feeling that's not going away, there’s nothing else to dislike in this relationship. I have a handsome, smart, and supportive boyfriend. Our families are getting along well. In fact, the much-awaited get-together is happening soon. I'm on tract with my career plan and Bobby is with me every step of the way. “Everything’s okay?” he asked me while driving. I can now sit in the passenger seat. “Yes. Finally, I’m starting all over again,” I said. “Treat it as your first job. Forget the other one,” he said. “Then, what do I call that experience?” I asked. “Training,” he answered plainly. “You’re funny,” I said. “Do I get a kiss for being funny?” he asked. “When we stop,” I said. The traffic light changed to red. He got excited to receive

Chapter 45: Comforting

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

For the first time, I witness Bobby desperately needing some comforting. It must have been bad back in Quim’s office. “Let’s leave,” I told him. We quietly entered the car and he started driving without saying a word. “Do you want to go to a drive thru? Burger, coffee, anything,” I asked. “I’ll bring you home,” he said. “And you’re going home too after you drop me off, right?” I asked. “I have to meet someone. It’s business,” he said. “Alright. Just drive carefully,” I said. We are almost near my house but he still hasn’t said anything about what happened during the sudden meeting with Quim. “If you are ready to talk about it, I’m ready to listen. I’ll drop everything and listen to you,” I said. Bobby nodded. He looks so sad and disappointed. Not even my presence could cheer him up. “Please don’t think that I’m setting you aside. There are just some things that I have to take care myself, okay?” he said. We had a quick kiss before I get out of the car. It’s more of a

Chapter 46: Cuddle

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

The clock shows 12. “Midnight? Midnight!” I screamed to myself. All I wanted was a cuddle not a full time sleep in Bobby’s room that I don’t frequent. “How did I end up here?” I asked myself. I am still wearing the clothes I wore after taking a shower yesterday afternoon. I remember us cuddling in the living room while watching a show on a streaming site. It must be very comfortable that I fell asleep. I startled a bit when I saw the door open slowly. “Hi, Audrey. You’re awake,” Auntie Blessy said. I feel instantly embarrassed that she finds me in her son’s room. “You fell asleep and we couldn’t wake you up. You must be hungry. I’ll reheat your dinner,” she said. “Oh no, Auntie. I’ll do that myself. It’s past your bedtime,” I said. “It’s fine. I am just binge watching my favorite series,” she said. “Thanks, Auntie. I’ll just freshen up a bit. But where’s Bobby?” I asked. I just realized that he wasn’t around when I woke up. “He’s in the guest room,” she said. “W

Chapter 47: Obligations

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

Maybe it’s just me who feels that everything is going fast but I really think it really is running faster than the normal speed. Bobby’s behavior towards me makes me feel like he is already convinced that we will end up together. It’s not weird though. After all, I didn’t enter this relationship just to hang out with him. “You’re back early,” Mom said as soon as I opened the door. “I’ve things to prepare for my first day at work on Monday,” I said. “Where’s Bobby?” she asked. “I told him to leave already. I thought you were still hearing mass online,” I said. “We woke up late and didn’t catch the start of the mass so we skipped it today,” she said. I tried to talk to her with other things as I don’t want any questions about my random sleepover at Bobby’s parents’ house. I went to my room to change clothes. For some reason, I miss my room and my bed. Bobby’s bed was so comfy but with the subtle pressure from Auntie Blessy on some expectations makes me want to forget that I

Chapter 48: Needed Call

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

It’s ten in the evening. The sight of an unknown number calling me makes me anxious. I was able to think of many different things in just a few seconds. I breathed in and out before picking it up. “So, is it true that you’re not in your boyfriend’s house this weekend?” a familiar voice asked me straight. “Ally, did you change number?” I asked. “No, it’s my other number. I got a new phone and line from the company just yesterday,” Ally said. “What is it?” I asked. “What is it? Of course, I am also curious why you’re at home and not in your future in-law’s house,” she said. “Is it a big deal?” I asked. “Do you really want to know? Of course it is. Dad’s concerned if you must know,” she said. “Nice one, Ally,” I said. “It’s true. They’re concerned about you once again,” she said. “What? How? Do they think I’m going to jump from company to another this time?” I asked. “Well, that’s still a concern for them and you can’t blame them after what you did in college,” she

Chapter 49: Start and End

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

Call it weird, surprising, exciting but for some reason, I got up early effortlessly. In fact, I was even one minute earlier than the alarm. I feel so light, inspired, and ready to start my professional life all over again. Bobby’s on time too. He arrived to pick me up five minutes before six in the morning. He looks so fresh and handsome as always. “You look so pretty and radiant,” he complimented me right away. “Thank you. You’re a dapper. Do you have an important meeting today?” I asked. “You guessed it right,” he said. “Is it about that issue?” I asked. “We are hoping to resolve it today. So, good luck to both of us,” he said. “I feel good about today. I have no doubt that this day will turn out well,” I said. “But you look so differently pretty today. Are you excited to work now?” he said. Honestly, even I couldn’t believe how joyous I am feeling today. There’s not a drop of that fear that was almost consuming me last weekend. “I must be excited. I am conditioni

Chapter 50: New Chapter

I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire/Chuckles

I try to put up a happy face in front of my parents but inside, I keep my growing concern for Bobby. It’s hard to be happy and share good stories about my new job when he lost his. “How did you get here?” Dad asked. “Bobby drove me here but he couldn’t stop by. He asked me to tell you,” I said. “Must be very busy with work,” he said. “He still is,” I said. “And your new company?” Mom asked. “I feel good about it. Most people I’ll be working with are my age. I’m sure we’ll have fun at work and even after office,” I said. “That’s good but make sure you don’t have too much fun this time,” Mom said. I got what she meant. “Of course, I am serious with my future now. My happy-go-lucky days are behind me. I need to save money too,” I assured her. “That’s true. Even if Bobby has a massive savings, you’ve got to have your own money,” she said. Dad looked at Mom for a second. “Do you have savings?” he asked her. “I do,” she said. “And where did that come from?” he asked.
