All Chapters of Pretend Surrogate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Baby,"I stared at him as he seriously brushed my head lightly with his palm.Sometimes, we prefer to stay in the dream so that we can escape the reality of life. But what is it for people who don’t know the difference between the two?I sighed hard as I can still remember what happened that day. This can not be. That cannot be repeated. I know the day will come and it will all end as well. As I wish, I wish everything was just a dream. But I also hope to know what is really true or the reality. This is too much for me to take. He clouded my mind for those times that he didn’t know. And I’m not hoping that he feels the sameFor me, I just want all of these to end. As soon as possible. Before things would get more complicated."You look tired, do you want to rest now?" he asked me.The two of us sat on the couch and he was behind me. His arms are slightly wrapped around me. In short he’s embracing me. While I was not on my own watching the events outside.The shady sky, now even darke

I stared at him. I can’t mentally process what to do next. Should I avoid him? Pretend that I didn't see him? Or meet him and deal with everything that happened today?The cold wind blew my hair but the two of us still looked at each other. On the road I saw the wet concrete that says the rain just poured. I tried to calm my heart while pretending that everything was normal. I smiled a little but it didn’t reach my eyes. I step forward trying to act as if everything is just normal."Are you just going home now?"I almost bit my tongue. Of all the questions in the book why is that even more I thought to ask? I also don't know how to start.He didn’t answer me. He was still leaning against his car as his eyes looked back and forth at me and the flowers in my hand. I looked at the flowers as well. I cleared my throat and spoke."Are you waiting for someone?" I asked again.I also didn't expect him to be waiting for me. I didn’t even receive a text or call saying he would take me to the c

"That'll be the last."I woke in the middle of the night with the growling noise of heavens. I feel like I haven't slept for a while because I'm still feeling heavy. I looked at the sliding door on the balcony and saw the curtain flying there because of the force of the wind.I glanced at myself and saw that I’m till wearing the same clothes. I fell asleep in tears and was not able to change or clean my body. Though terrified I hurried to close the door. I ran to the bed again to cover myself because of the force of the thunder and lightning. I breathed fast as I kept on hearing the loud growling noise.I feel, at times like this that heaven does not favor me. Isn't it possible to just rain some other day? Isn't it possible to just thunder or lightning someday? Why is it necessary now? Why is it necessary now when I feel so heavy?I’m startled again when another set of thunder and lightning enveloped the entire sky. I put my hands over my ears just so they wouldn't be heard. I’m shaki

I walked thorough the dark road. I looked at myself, I probably look like a mess, with this stained blouse of mine wearing still.It was getting a little foggy so I just ignored it. I just walked through the city to the Brokes mansion. It's just nearby and I'll only waste money if I take a cab."Are they in here?" I asked to myself.Their mansion looked as quiet. I just went straight in and greeted the guard outside for a moment. It’s been so long. I somehow felt nostalgic again.When the Brook’s adopted me and lived here for a few years. I spent years of my youth in here. They treated me well, for some time I felt like I belong. I felt like I have a family. But since they are busy and they are business oriented, I somehow felt lonely too at the same time.Growing up I never desired a wealthy life. I only craved for the feeling of home. But who I am to complain? They’ve treated me well and they gave me my needs, and so that’s enough. Their mansion is huge. It's wide because I wouldn't

"You don't have to do this."I stared at him as he poured me porridge. He looked at me annoyed. I opened my mouth and ate a spoonful of porridge."I can do it myself." I reasoned out."And I want to do it for you."I pouted trying to hide the smiled on my face."I want to loose my limbs, then."I chuckled to make everything light. He remained serious. He just put the spoon in front of my mouth again, waiting for me to open.I shook my head. "I'm full now.""One last." he spoke.I sighed and opened my mouth. Almost disgusted I almost spit it out, he immediately handed me the water. He stood up and now picked up the thermometer. He pressed it to my forehead and furrowed even more."Forty one." he uttered.I laughed seeing his reaction, “Guess I’m so hot.” He lowered the thermometer and sat down in front of me again. His jaw clicked."Nothing's funny, Angel."I smiled sweetly reached for his jaw. I felt the pressure loosened. I could feel his weakness in the touch I had made on him."Wh
