"Well, I guess, if you love each other, we won't be a hurdle anymore. We already learned our lessons." I was stunned on my stand when I heard mom's words on Barack with a short laugh.
They were all displayed well in the living room with dad and my little Ethan who was playing with his new favorite toy car given by random strangers. My lips suddenly curved upwards as I realised that they are giving their blessings on us to get married.
"Hey, what's with the drama? Is there any invisible barrier here and you can't step your foot there?" I jolted by Celestine's sudden presence croaking out, pedantically.
I shot her a face before I answered. "I am enjoying the view," I said then scanned her up and down. "I thought you were going to fix yourself first? You're fast," I continued in a creased forehead.
Having a heavy swollen abdomen was really not easy. It makes every pregnant woman
Since Barack's meeting didn't end early, we decided to drop by on a mall for a while and do shopping with Elaine and Ethan. He called earlier that he would wait for us in the hotel instead which I agreed with.Ethan was having fun bonding with us as he enjoyed the Christmas displays seen everywhere and played basketball in the arcade. The sun was slowly eaten by the darkness already when we decided to go back to the hotel. Cold Christmas breeze was crawling on my skin the moment I stepped my foot outside the car offered by my parents."Yzabelle, are you alright?" I brought back in consciousness when Elaine spoke on my side. We are now on our way to our room yet I was thinking and feeling very odd."Uh… Yes, I'm fine. It was just… the environment was so cold," I replied. She shrugged her shoulders before reaching for the shopping bags."I will hold these bags, jus
As fast as the speed of light, I pulled his hands off me and pushed him as hard as I could that he fell on the floor. We were both startled by the sound of the cracking door which caused me in panic. I looked back to peek if Barack was already there, and luckily he was still inside our room, busy on his phone.I heaved a sigh of relief then I fixed myself, including my hair and my neck which Blake messed up. He was really a monster, nothing has changed. I almost burst out into laughter when I saw him crawling from the ground up to the seat where he originally was sitting but I chose to control it which made me feel my entire face burning."That was hurtful!" Blake mouthed with furrow brows while holding and stretching his back.I looked away then cupped my face, trying to make myself calm. This is really crazy! If he stays here for long, I don't already know what will happen next.
"By the way, have you met Blake earlier in the hallway? Just a few minutes after you went out, he left because Ezekiel called him. He hasn't bid his goodbye to you, at least." I swallowed an air to my throat when Barack opened up a topic.After Blake left me in the hallway, I headed back inside and went straight to my room to have a quick shower and change my clot
Because we are about to leave the country in three days, Ethan asked me to bond with him for the whole day. And since I am free and loves to grant his wish, we went to Intramuros, one of the famous tourist spots in the country. A lot of people were strolling around with their family and friends which somehow makes me feel sad because Barack wasn't with us. However, Ethan was still having fun especially when he rode on the Kalesa.
My heartbeat once again lost on its track as soon as I heard Elaine's worried voice. I tried to keep calm and pulled some strength by looking at Celestine who was seriously staring at me, yet it didn't work."Don't tell me such kind of jokes. Not a good catch to me," I warned."I'm not kidding, Yzabelle! I just left him for a while outside the ladies room but when I came back, he was already nowhere to be seen.""I'm coming now. Locate him right away!" I replied in great frustrations before I ended the call.I was about to run when Celestine grabbed my arm. "Where are you going?" she inquired. "Emergency," I answered, short. Her eyebrows scrunched. "What emergency?""Ethan was lost. My baby was lost, I need to find him!" This time, I wasn't able to keep my nerves in comfort and started breaking down. The mall is wide and there are a lot of people inside. I am af
The announcement was like a que of a marathon where Ethan was our finish line. I suppose Blake was heading to the same place I am going to but I wish not. However, he wasn't stupid of not to think and be curious of a lost kiddo with as name as his. I heaved a deep breath and tried to erase the thoughts running on my mind. I was one floor away to my son's location with
There are times in my life when I thought Blake was dead, I wished that one day he would meet my son or at least Ethan would meet him. I imagine how lovely it would be to watch them together like a divided fruit having the same looks. I am always wondering how it looks like seeing Blake carrying his son in his arms while swaying and humming until he gets into a deep sleep. I am curious on how they would behave with each other and how they would bond together. All of those thoughts came across my mind, I admit. But, now when it's going near from reality, I'm taking it back.I'm not happy. It's not a good idea. It's a fvcking bullish!t and the start of a battle."Hey, why are you fighting here in front of other people? In front of your son? Seriously, can't you settle it privately and maturely?" Celestine suddenly croaked out.I shot her a cold stare. I want to blame her for what happened but I can't. She
It's already late in the evening when I decided to check on my son before I go to bed. Earlier today, when we arrived at the hotel, the three of us talked that no one would tell anything to Barack. We will just let the moment pass and after this, we will forget everything. I mean, I'm not being dishonest to my fiance but I just wanted to be at peace. It's better that he would know nothing about us— Blake, Ethan and I.I reached the cold steel door knob as soon as I found my son's room and twisted it open. What welcomed me was a young man happily playing with his new toys. A smile suddenly made its way to my lips while stepping my foot towards his direction."Still up? Aren't you getting tired for the whole day?" I asked before plopping myself on his bed.He turned his head to meet me. "I love these toys, mom! Dude really is a nice guy because he brought everything that we like! And t
