Mag-log inDraken didn't answer me; instead, he just stared at me with a cold expression on his face. "Fine. If you don't want to eat, then don't," I snapped before turning away. I was just about to leave when he suddenly spoke. "Bring it in here," he said, opening the door wider. I glared at him irritably and brought the food tray inside. He closed the door after me. "I'll put this here so you can eat," I said, setting the food down on a center table. He didn't say anything, instead, he just stared at me. "Stop staring at me." "Can you do me a favor?" he asked in a serious tone. "Huh? A favor? Don't tell me you need me to feed you?" I asked back. "Can you look under my office table? There's something I can't reach in there," he requested in a serious tone. "Tch! I have to go. C'mon," I said unenthusiastically and started walking toward the door. As I turned the doorknob, I was surprised when I couldn't open it. "Did you lock this? Open it!" "I'll do it if you do what I asked," he replie
"Go away! What is it?" I asked Draken irritably as I was busy getting ready for dinner later. He wanted to hug me from behind, but I wouldn't let him."What? You were enjoying my magic fingers an hour ago. You sure change your mood fast," Draken asked me. Annoyed, I turned to face him and pointed a spatula at his chin."Don't even open that," I said before turning back to what I was doing. He just laughed, as if he was teasing me."Why? I'm telling the truth. Why don't you just tell me that you still love me? That you still have feelings for me? So I can finger and lick your—""Stop it!" I cut him off, giving him a warning look. He raised his hands in surrender."Fine. Fine. I'll shut the fuck up," he said before leaving. I just gave him a serious look before finishing what I was doing.After that, while Draken and Madrid were busy playing, I went upstairs to the room where my son sleeping to get my phone. I put the SIM card I had taken out back in, but there was no signal.Damn it!I
I coughed up the hot chocolate I was drinking at Madrid's question. I coughed for a moment and wiped the things that had splattered."Mama, are you okay?" my son asked worriedly, so I nodded. I couldn't speak because I was still coughing. Madrid patted my back."I think your mom was shocked by your question, son," Draken chimed in."Why? Was my question wrong?" Madrid asked."No, son. Your mom just didn't expect you to ask about that," Draken replied with a smile. "Well, if you want a baby brother or sister, we can talk about that."A smile spread across the boy's face while I glared at Draken."That's not funny," I told him."I'll be waiting for that," my son replied happily. "Papa, can we watch a movie after this?""Sure, son. We have our own cinema where we could all watch," Draken answered. Madrid clapped with joy and excitement.I just stared at the father and son and continued eating. It's better not to talk to them while I'm eating or drinking, or I might spit out again from th
I'm putting Madrid to bed, and he can't stop smiling. He's been telling me all about how happy he was to spend time with his father, Draken."I hope we get to have more bonding moments like this with Dad. It was so much fun!"I smiled at my son."Sweetheart, it's 9:30 PM. You should go to sleep now," I told him."It's so fun, Mom. Thank you for letting us stay here. Thank you, Mom," my son added before giving me a kiss on the cheek. After that, he settled into his bed and closed his eyes.I smiled for a moment, stroking Madrid's hair at his words of gratitude. I could feel my son's joy and happiness in the simple act of granting his wish.Before long, Madrid fell fast asleep. I tucked him in and kissed him on the forehead before leaving.I was about to go to Draken's room when I heard a noise from downstairs. I headed down and found Draken drinking alone in the dining area. It looked like he'd been at it for a while because his skin was already flushed."What's this? Why are you drink
The three of us are in the pool, but I'm just here in the corner. I didn't get dressed again. I just did what Madrid asked of me.My hands are resting on my respective armpits as I watch the father and son."W-What the hell? Stop it—"I couldn't get a word out as they started playing with the pool water on me. They were working together, so I just turned away to wipe my face."Mom can't get back at us, Dad," my son said, sounding amused.I turned back to face them and saw the father and son laughing at what they'd done. So that's how it is, huh?I started getting my own back. I started splashing them with water. They didn't back down. I could hear Madrid's delight as she and Draken watched us.We played in the pool for a few minutes until we were too tired and moved to the side."Can we take a picture? So we have a remembrance," my son asked. I looked at him and then at Draken, who was looking at me as if waiting for my answer."U-Um... y-yes, of course, son," I replied with a smile.
I woke up when I heard what sounded like a door closing. I slowly looked at myself. I was still naked, covered only by a blanket.When I looked to my side, Draken wasn't there. I turned my gaze and saw him just coming out of the bathroom. He was wearing a tank top and shorts, while his hair and entire body were wet."Good morning," he greeted me, but I didn't respond. I just looked at the wall clock and saw that it was already 10:30 AM.It was already noon!I sat up from my lying down position, but I stopped short. My perineum hurt. I gently moved my legs to stretch them open, but I felt the stinging pain."You look like you're in pain," Draken said. He was looking at me, his face clearly teasing."I can't move because of you!" I yelled at him, annoyed. He laughed. Did he think I was joking?!"I warned you, Mathia, that you'd need crutches after I fu—""Fine! Shut up!" I yelled. I don't want to remember what we did anymore.I tried to stand up slowly, but I failed. I felt weak. It was
The next day, we went to church with my Mother, Matthew, and Madrid. I prayed to God that wherever life takes me, I hope He guides me because my family still needs me. After church, we went to a nearby park to eat the food we bought for breakfast."Oh, here's yours. Your water's there. Is everythin
I was still dealing with that problem as I went back inside the mall and even on my way home. The rain was still pouring heavily. I had an umbrella but it couldn't withstand the strong wind. Because of this, my trip home took longer. I was soaked to the bone, especially when I got inside the house.
“Thank you for the ride, Charlie Take care,” I said as I peek a little toward the car window, offering him a small smile.“Sure, thanks. Bye,” he replied, waving lightly before driving off. I stood there for a while, watching his car disappear from sight, and sighed deeply. That man... he never rea
When I arrived home, I immediately prepared the remaining shirts and cologne that Charlie had ordered. I planned to personally deliver them to him tomorrow so we could talk before I go to work.“Mama, I don’t have school tomorrow. It’s Saturday. How about you?” my child asked.“I still have work.
