"SINCE we already have a bed, let's get a bedside table. What do you think, wife?" he asks, looking around the furniture store with curiosity."Uhm..." I bit my lip, looking around. "Sure. Side table and coffee table for the sofa in the master's bedroom." I uttered softly.We make our way toward the table furniture section, stopping at each interesting piece of furniture along the way. A glossy rectangle white marble coffee table caught my attention. Naglakad ako papunta sa kinalalagyan noon at sinuring mabuti. I looked at the tag and bobbed my head when I read that this table is extendable with storage."Do you like that, wife?" I turned my head only to meet Reeve's amber eyes. I didn't even felt him walking beside me.I diverted my eyes. "This is really pretty. Can we buy this?" I asked. I needed his permission since it was his house, not mine."Bien sûr. What my wife wants, my wife gets." I blinked as I felt the blood rushing through my veins, which made my heart wild. "What el
I finished fixing myself before I strolled to the kitchen. I was surprised to see Reeve on the kitchen, shirtless while cooking.Holy hell.I have the full view of his broad shoulders and his sculpted muscles of his back. The sunlight streaming through the windows overlaid his skin, emphasizing its natural bronze glow. From here, I can see a tattoo on the back of his right arm and his nape.A pair of wings on his back.In his arms, A dog tag that looks like it was hanging on his arms like how you wear a bracelet. And below the dog tag are small flying birds. Naka-according to height 'yong mga ibon.It was strangely attractive.His only wearing black pajamas and the pants rode just low enough to send my imagination in all sorts of X-rated directions. I couldn't imagine that seeing a man cook topless could be this sexy.I watched him in silence, fascinated by how fineness he moved. He's really a chef, huh? I'm curious how many women have already watched him cook without any clothes on.
I ENTERED the room, and my eyes quickly examined the patient lying on the hospital bed. "I'm Dra. Kelsea," I spoke in a clipped, professional tone.Her name is Julie. Seventeen years old. Female. Fell from the stairs."A-Ako po si Julie." She gave me a lop-sided smile. Obviously, she was in pain."May masakit ba bukod sa mga sugat mo?" I asked gently.She shook her head. "Wala naman po, doctora..."A cut slashed across the corner of her forehead, and a few scrapes on her arms and leg were evident. There's also a shadow of bruises on her lips and cheeks as if someone slapped her hard.Nurse Clara had already checked Julie's ABC's—airway, breathing, and circulation. I couldn't find any physical wounds except for the cut on her forehead and a couple of bruises, but that didn't mean she was clear. I ran through the rest of my questions before I dismissed her with Nurse Clara."All right. Rest first, and I'll order a CT scan, just in case." I said, giving her a smile.AFTER two surgeries a
IT WAS around midnight when I had the chance to get home from work. We had a long-complicated surgery today, so I came home late. Since the house is near the hospital, mabilis lang akong nakauwi sa bahay.I wasn't expecting Reeve to be awake since it was already late, but I was astonished to see him on the sofa, sitting with his laptop on his lap and a coffee mug on the Coffee table. As usual, he's wearing a navy blue muscle tee and gray sweatpants.He quickly shifted his head in my direction and I feel like I was a burglar that got caught thieving in action. His eyes flickered with an unfamiliar emotion when he saw me entering the house.I kept my face and posture relaxed despite his presence. "I didn't expect to see you awake," I uttered as I removed my shoes to switch them into my house slippers."I was waiting for you," he drawled.I quickly twisted my head at him as my stomach cramped with guilt. "Y-You waited for me?" I uttered softly.His lips quirked as his eyes turned gl
A remix of Shakira's Hips don't lie starts playing. I saw the main character for tonight sitting in the middle of a mini stage with a blindfold in her eyes. In the background was gold curtain foil, a champagne balloon, and a bride-to-be balloon. There are also dozen of balloons scattered through the mini-stage.When the blindfold released her eyes, her lips parted in suprise. "Oh my gosh! I didn't expect this! Grabe kayo!" Her eyes dwelled with tears. "Surprise, Dra. Nikki!" We all shouted in unison.I walked towards her and Dra. Nikki wrapped me in a tight hug, and I allowed myself to sink into her comforting embrace. "Kelsea, I didn't expect you to keep this secret! I know how suck you're in lying!" she resorts.I chuckled lightly as I tapped her on the back. "It's for your own sake, girl!" I resort.I went to the circular table, where I spotted Nurse Eva, and some fellow. They welcome me with warmth and respect. A waiter served us drink, and we drank as the party began."Cheers!"
"Are you two Married?"Napangiwi ako, but I still remained poised. "Well, we still need to get to know each other, Doc," I said politely.Before we can even go further with their personal questions about our status, nagpaalam na ako na uuwi na. Nagpaalam na muna ako kina Dra. Nikki at Eunice at sa iba pang doctor bago lumabas ng pub.Nang makalabas kami sa pub ay halos gawin ko ng dalawa ang hakbang ko para hindi kami magka-usap ni Reeve. I don't want to talk to him. I'm still on the verge of throwing a fist on his face because of what he said in front of my co-workers.Pero nakalimutan kong kamag-anak pala niya si Daddy long legs dahil nahabol niya kaagad ako sa parking lot. He cornered me in front of my car."So, courting stage, huh? You told them that I'm your suitor?" His voice took on a familiar cocky lilt."What do you want me to say? Gusto mo bang sabihin kong asawa kita? That you're my husband?!" Bagamat kalmado ang boses ko ay madiin 'yon.His eyes twisted with irritation and
THE combination of ground coffee, citrus, and brisk, including the rays of the sunlight striking my face, woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. Umupo ako at nagstretching pa ng bahagya."Good morning, mon amour!"Napatalon ako sa gulat at napasinghap nang makita ang lalaking laman ng panaginip ko kagabi. My dream was so weird that I couldn't look into his eyes because in my dream, we shared a mind-blowing kiss last night. It was so weird, and it felt so realistic!I felt my cheeks burn just by thinking about the kiss we shared in my dreams.He was leaning on the framedoor wearing his pajama, shirtless. Nalipat ang tingin ko sa malapad nitong balakat at ang namumutok nitong braso. The tiny stubble on his jaw looks dominating and sexy. Nang mas bumaba pa ang tingin ko sa katawan niya ay napalunok na ako dahil sa halatang umbok nito sa harapan ng kanyang pajama. I'm curious how long and thick the sword hiding inside his pajamas.I shake my head while still peeking at his crotc
THE next days were just similar set-up. I would wake up in the morning by Reeve. We will eat breakfast together then he will hand me my lunch and snacks that he prepared. After ko umalis ay doon pa lang siya aalis ng bahay. Sa gabi naman, he comes home early while I always get home late, so it's surprising that he's not here yet.Mas nauna akong umuwi sa kanya ngayon. I checked my phone to see if he texted or called me, but he didn't. Maybe he's busy at his restaurant.Mag-a-alas nuwebe y medya na kaya kumain na ako mag-isa. I cooked spaghetti meatballs with mozzarella cheese. Nasanay akong kumain na kasabay si Reeve kaya ngayon na wala siya, I suddenly felt lonely while eating.Pagkatapos kong kumain ay niligpit ko na ang mga pinagkainan ko para mahugasan na. I just put the extra spaghetti I cooked inside the fridge. Then, I went up to my room to take a night's shower and do my skincare routine. After I took a shower, I applied a sheet face mask. I took my laptop and searched for my
