41: Distress and Distrust
"She's awesome. You should meet her." I said to Andrea after telling her everything that happened during the dinner with Grayson and Rubylyn while we were having lunch.
"I'd love to meet her. Wait, I'll be right back." She said then got up from her seat and went to the counter.
"Long time no see, Cath." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up and saw none other than Belle standing beside our table.
"Hi, Belle." I said to her politely.
"Looks like you're doing great." She said. She was carrying a tray with her food in it.
"Look, Belle. I don't want any trouble. So if you came here looking for one, just go." I said to her as I continued eating my lunch.
"I'm sorry." Surprise was an understatement for what I felt when I heard her say that. I just looked at her in shock. She let out a small giggle as she saw the look on my face.
"Chill Cath. I didn't come here to start a catfight. I admit, I kinda hated you for getting me fired b

I woke up to a hustling and bustling environment. I panicked and looked around and realized that we were still in the hospital. Andrea was already awake, she was sitting on the bed and was currently scrolling on her phone. I looked at the bed beside hers and Kyla was also awake she was also sitting on her bed, doing something on her phone."Finally you're awake." Andrea said to me. "Gavin and Marco are just taking care of the bills and we're free to go." "What time is it?" I asked her."Five in the morning." She replied to me."Are you two sure that you're already fine?" I asked them. Both of them gave me a laugh and just nodded at me."We're fine, Cath. Besides, it's just Friday, we still have work today." Kyla said."It's okay Kyla. You should take some rest. I don't have any important meeting anyway. I just have some work to take care of. You can take the day off." Gavin said as both he and Marco came back to where we were."Are you sure, sir?"

Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 44: Alone in the Office
I got back to my desk as soon as I finished taking care of the meeting room. I'm starting to feel a bit scared, to be honest. I think I might have pushed Gavin to his limit. I know he's my boyfriend and all that but, he is still my boss and our relationship is still new so maybe it was a wrong move to take the elevator without him. I sat on my chair for a moment, contemplating whether I should go and apologize to Gavin then my phone started ringing, it was Gavin. I took a deep breath and then answered the call. "Hello?" I asked and immediately he answered. "Where are you, Cath?" He asked me, still in a serious tone. "I'm at my desk. Still finishing something. Will go there as soon as I'm done." I replied to him, trying to stall for time. "It's afternoon break already." He replied and I knew I had no way out. "Okay. Be right there. Just one moment. Bye." I said to him. "Make it fast." He said to me then ended the call. I think I really am in so much trouble. With lots of doub

Gavin heard my slight sobs and his face immediately showed concern and worry. He caressed my face with both his hand and started wiping the tears away. "Why are you crying, love?" He asked me and I just shook my head. "It's nothing. Just got some dust in my eyes." I said to him as I rubbed my eyes, stopping myself from crying. I looked away from him, but Gavin cupped my face in his hands, forcing me to look back at him with my tear-stained face. "You're upset about something?" He asked me, but I just forced a smile, not wanting him to dig any deeper. "I see." He said, wiping the remaining tears away. He looked at me with passion and warmth while I stare back at him with guilt and worry. "Listen, love. I know you're dealing with something right now, I understand. You don't have to tell me anything right now. Tell me everything about it when you're ready. It's okay, no need to feel worried or guilty about it." He said to me before pulling me into a hug. I felt Gavin stroking my bac

I woke up and I was sore all over. It was a crazy night and as Gavin wanted, because I'm never gonna admitted that I craved it too, we had round two just as we got home. Was it really normal to last that long in bed? Luckily, it is already Saturday and I don't have to get out of bed. So, I just stayed in bed as long as I wanted. "Good morning, love." I heard Gavin's voice say as the door of the bedroom opened. "Umm." I just mumbled at him as I cuddled more into bed with my eyes closed. I felt a sudden shift of weight in the bed and the smell of waffles and bacon zoomed in my nose waking me up in an instant. "Bacon." I exclaimed as I sat up from bed. "I figured you're too sore to get out of bed." He said to me with a proud smile on his face. "You cooked? And it's not burned?" I asked, he was about to answer when a head suddenly popped out of the door. "He wouldn't stop calling me at six in the morning.

I was a bit nervous at first, but it wasn't long before I felt a bit comfortable with them. Both his parents were attentive and very warm towards me. We were waiting in the room that they were dancing in for the dinner to be served. "So, since when have you two been together?" Aunty Margo asked that really got me worried, does she thinks that I was lying when they interviewed me about the issue before? "When the issue about the videos was released, we weren't really together." I explained to her defensively, but unlike what I imagined, Aunty Margo just let out an elegant laughter. "Relax Cath, that issue has already been cleared up, remember?"She said to me that somehow made me a bit at ease. "It's only been a bit over a month since we started dating, mom. And stop making my girlfriend so anxious, she's still not used to seeing you outside the office." Gavin said answering his mom that made her smile wider. "So, I'm guessing, you're the one whole fell head over heels for her, Gav?

Andrea just sat there on the couch for a couple more minutes as I try my best to calm her down, but her sobs won't stop. I went back to the kitchen and got her one more glass of water. I got back to the couch and she was still unresponsive to anything that I asked her. "Dre, please. I can't help you if I don't know what's going on. I need you to tell me exactly what happened to you." I said to her as I stroked her back. I felt her become less tense as I continued rubbing her back. She then got her sobs under control but then cupped her face in her palms still in distress. I waited for her to say something but she just sat there with her head hung low. I was about to ask her again when I saw her take a deep breath and muttered something in a whisper. "What?" I asked her again, not able to catch anything that she said. She raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes are full of fear and confusion, she took another deep breath and she finally let it out. "I'm pregnant, Cath." She admit

"Do you think Andrea's gonna be fine?" Gavin asked as he was watching me cook our breakfast while Gabby, Andrea, and Zab are still sleeping in the bedroom. "She'll be alright. I'm not worried one bit." I told him with a smile as I fried some bacon and eggs. "You two seem to know each other very well." He added as he took one piece of bacon. "Stop taking the bacon." I said as I slapped his hand and took the plate away before he could finish the whole thing. He just started rubbing the back of his hand and let out a chuckle. "We've been friends since high school and I know that she'll get through it. Besides, I'll always be there for her." I said to him as I finished cooking breakfast. I turned off the stove took all the plates of food and placed them on the table. "I counted the pieces of bacon. Don't start eating! I'll wake them up." I said to him before I turn my back to the table and went inside the bedroom to wake up the girls. I insisted that they take my bed while me and Ga
