Lahat ng Kabanata ng Christmas Misery: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

[Christmas]      I left here alone in Duke's office because he have to answer an important call in the meeting room that is only at the next door. We just done eating our lunch and I'm still drinking the Espresso that his secretary bought. The way Cheena look at me as she gave my Espresso, seems she wants to kill me with her stares. It was pretty obvious she doesn't like me. I heaved a sign as I leaned my back in the couch, sipping the last drop of my Espresso.      I waited Duke almost 15 minutes before he came back wearing his frown face. My forehead knotted as I watched him heading at his desk. He sat in his swivel chair, massaging his temple like I wasn't here.“Ahm, what's the problem?” I asked and if I didn't speak he wouldn't notice me. Duke immediately stood up at his seat and slapped his forehead. “I'm sorry, Christmas, I forgot that you were here.” He apologized and wa

[Christmas]     I woke up with Duke's arm around my waist from the back. A smiled form in my lips and slowly turn around to see him. I am now facing the handsome guy that I didn't expected to be with me.“Hmm, good morning, sunshine,” he said and slowly open his eyes. “Good morning.”“How are you?” he asked, looking at my eyes I chuckled. “Are you asking me if how was last night?”“Hmm.” He acted seems he is thinking. “Yea, something like that.” He chuckled.“Ahm, yo-you-” I gripped my lower lip as I feel embarrass. What happened last night is still fresh on me. “Is it necessary for me to answer that?”“Yea, because I am asking and it's a question,” he answered and I can feel his one hand moving at my boobs.“Duke!”“Hahaha! I'm sorry. I just can't help it.” He pulled me closer to him. “S

[Christmas]Beep! Beep! Beep!“Hmm.” I started looking at the alarm clock in the night table in my side without opening my eyes. As I found it, I turned it off and face back to Duke who is still sleeping. “Good morning.” I whispered, playing my fingers at his naked chest.“Hey, Baby, stop doing that.” He moaned but I didn't stop tickling his well build chest.I came closer to him and goes on his ear. “Time to wake up lazy, Mr. Grey.” I whispered.Duke chuckled. “You aren't really going to stop, Mrs. Grey?” He asked and finally his eyes already awake.“Not until you wake up,” I said, “But since you already awake, I will stop now.” I added and I'm about to get off in the bed when he suddenly pulled me back in my pillow.“Where are you going?” he asked while his arm is around my waist.“I'm going to make you a breakfast, Duke. You are going at your com

[Lorie]     I am here now at the balcony of my unit, holding the cup of my coffee. The wind is swirling into me but I am wearing my robe that's why I didn't get freeze in cold. I am watching the view up here and every cars and people moving down are so tiny. My unit is on the 8th floor of this condominium that is why everything are small. There is no chance to survive if I fell here.I shook my head. “What am I thinking?” I made a little sip at my coffee.Ring! Ring!     I headed inside as I heard my phone ringing. My forehead knotted when I saw who is in my caller ID. It is my niece, Christmas. This is the first time she called me. We never have a conversation since the last we see each other in my old house. I never said sorry to her when I did not attend at her wedding but I know she understand it.“Hello Auntie,” Christmas started as I answered the call.

[Christmas]I was standing here in the doorway, watching Duke cleaning his car. My tummy now is bigger than it was before because I am now 5 months pregnant with our child. We just visited at the hospital yesterday and the doctor said my baby is doing good in my care. That's a good news for us."Hey, what are you doing there, huh?" Duke asked only wearing a kentucky short. He is now done cleaning the car."I'm just watching you cleaning the car but you already done," I answered, smiling at him."You shouldn't be here, Baby." He walks with me inside. "You should taking rest in our room.""But I'm sick of staying in our room." I pouted."But it was the best for you." He stares at me telling that I should stop being stubborn. "By the way." His voice suddenly became deep."What?"Duke take something inside his pocket and it is a container of a medicine.
