Maeve’s POV“Nanay! I want to sleep with you!” Malapad ang ngiti sa akin ni Maverick kaya napangiti ako roon. “Alright, Baby. Let’s go to the guestroom,” sambit ko na hinawakan pa ang palapulsuhan niya subalit agad siyang umiling doon. “No, I want to sleep with you and Tatay,” he said while smiling widely. Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapatingin agad kay Juago. Pinaningkitan ko siya agad ng mga mata subalit nagkibit lang ng balikat ang kupal at umarte na para bang wala siyang alam tungkol doon. “But, Baby—” “Don’t you want to sleep with me now, Nanay?” he askes while pouting. Humahaba na naman abg nguso nito. Hindi ko mapigilan ang matawa nang mahina. Sa huli’y nadala niya rin ako sa kaniyang ka-cute-an. Nang nasa kwarto na kami, both of them are not that tired yet. Nakalinis na nang katawan at lahat-lahat nagkakarera pa gamit ang mga remote control na kotse. “I’ll buy you a mini car tomorrow,” sambit ni Juago sa kaniya. Agad namang nanlaki ang mata ni Maverick at na-excite doon. “Ta

Maeve’s POV“Co-parenting my ass.” Narinig ko pa ang bulong-bulong niya roon but I choose to ignore and just laugh at his face. “You know, I run away from home when I got pregnant with Maverick,” ani ko bago napangisi. Napatingin siya sa akin doon. “I had a deal with my father, I’ll marry the guy that he wants me to marry if I ever fucked up our deal. We have a deal. I needed to get that three gold medal for me to get the freedom that I want. But getting the third gold medal didn’t happened, I got pregnant with Maverick… I don’t want to give him up. Daddy said that after I got pregnant with him, he’ll just take Maverick from me and I will marry someone he wants me to marry. I don’t like the idea of it. Hindi ko maatim na isipin. I cut ties with them. I left our house…” sambit ko na napakibit pa ng balikat. Who would have thought that I’ll be talking about this with Juago? Ramdam ko lang ang titig niya habang nakikinig sa akin doon. Dinala niya lang ako sa kaniyang dibdib bago hinap

Maeve’s POV“I can’t really come? I wanted to spend time with you too!” reklamo ni Juago habang hawak-hawak ang palapulsuhan ko. Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapatawa nang mahina sa kaniyang itsura. Kagabi pa ito nagtatanong kung pupuwede ba siyang sumama sa akin ni Maverick. We are going to meet my brother. “You have a birthday party to attend to, remember?” nakangisi kong sambit sa kaniya. He needs to attend birthday party of Gen, her on-screen recent love team. “As if I wanted to. I can just show myself and go home immediately,” reklamo niya. I was supposed to come with him kaya lang ay ang tagal nang gustong makilala ni Kuya Mauricio si Maverick so I can’t cancel this again. Nakailang cancel na dahil hindi magkatugma ang schedule, well, ako lagi. Kuya is willing to miss anything just to see his nephew. Ms. Juliana will come with Juago today. “You can’t, your fans will surely want to see you attending her birthday.” Agad kong nakita ang iritasiyon niya roon. He doesn’t really like th

Maeve’s POV“I’m sorry, that’s the only decision I came up with. I can’t just communicate with any of you, I can’t just risk Maverick,” sambit ko na napangiti na lang din nang mapait. Kita kong nawala ang sama ng loob niya sa akin but his eyes were glaring again. “What about now? You talk with Kuya Mau! But you even forget to talk to me! Kung hindi pa ako pupunta rito’y hindi mo pa ako pakikilala sa pamangkin ko,” inis niyang sambit sa akin kaya napairap na lang ako. “Well, I thought when we talk in Fun Hunts, that’s already the end.”“Because you said so! You are the one who’s in fault here,” sambit niya pa kaya mahina akong natawa. Of course, kung pataasan lang naman ng pride dito, pinakamataas ang pride niya. Napailing na lang ako roon.“Sige na, ako na ang may kasalanan. I’m sorry… I’m sorry for not contacting you and just cutting ties with you,” sambit ko na napanguso pa. “Forgiven. Sorry din,” aniya na napanguso bago nag-iwas ng tingin. “I wasn’t there with you in your lowes

Maeve’s POV“I knew it!” Naiiling na lang si Mint nang makita namin sa mall si Kuya Julius with his secretary. “You two are a stalker,” ani Kuya Mauricio na nginiwian silang dalawa ni Mint. “I have a meeting here,” ani Kuya Julius na sinimangutan pa si Kuya Mauricio dahil sa kaniyang sinabi habang buhat-buhat si Maverick na napatingin din kay Kuya Julius. “Sus, you never like have a meeting in this kind of place. It’s either your office or conference room. Ni hindi ka nga makaalis sa opisina mo. Ang sabihin mo you just wanted to see Maverick,” sbit ni Mint sa kaniya habang may ngisi pa sa labi. Iritado naman siyang nilingon ni Kuya Julius doon. “Shut up, Mint,” ani Kuya Julius na hindi na pinansin pa ang pang-aasar ni Mint dahil nakatingin na ngayon kay Maverick. “Hi, Kiddo…” he greeted to him. Naningkit ang mga mata ni Maverick sa kaniya.“Oh! You awe that guy! ‘Yong salbahe! You glawe at Nanay! I saw it!” ani Maverick kaya agad ko siyang inilingan. “Hah! Looks like I’m the se
