REEVE and I were eating breakfast when we both heard the doorbell. We glance at each other before Reeve decides to stand up and check. I was casually sipping my coffee when I heard a bark from the living room, causing me to turn my head.I quickly stood up to check if I was thinking right. My mouth parted when Beau and Scout came running to me, wagging their tails."Omg! Hi, babies!" I greeted them using my baby voice. I caressed their head and looked around, trying to look for their Dad.I felt the awkwardness when I saw a good-looking guy standing a meter feet away from us. Kausap niya si Reeve at kitang-kita kong sabay silang bumaling sa direksyon ko. I wanted to divert my gaze from them, but my eyes were stucked in their direction. I just gave them a reluctant smile. I heard footsteps coming closer in my direction. I stood up with dignity and met their gaze. The guest of Reeve was wearing a simple workout outfit. Mukhang kagagaling niya lang sa gym at nang matapos ay dito siya d

MABILIS akong nakarating sa bahay at bumuntong hininga nang maabutan si Reeve sa living room, nakaupo siya habang may binabasang mga files na nakalagay sa folder. He's wearing an olive green sweat shorts and a plain fitted black white shirt.I took an exaggerated sigh. He raised his head, and our eyes met. Ibinaba niya ang hawak na folder sa coffee table."Wife," His voice was pitched low and rough."Let's talk after the dinner," bungad ko sa kaniya at nilagpasan siya. Pumasok ako sa kwarto namin at naglinis ng katawan.Nang kumain kami ay parehas kaming walang imik. Mas nauna rin akong pumasok sa kwarto at naupo sa sofa. I crossed my arms on my chest while waiting for him. Handa na akong tanongin siya sa nangyari noon."Kelsea, wife," Reeve says while holding a glass of milk.Pinigilan ko ang sarili kong mapangiti dahil dinalhan niya ako ng gatas. I just gestured to the couch in front of me. "Sit," utos ko.Naupo siya sa couch na nasa harapan ko, humalukipkip at bumuntong-hininga. H

TONIGHT is the annual charity ball of the Areno Medical Center. Everyone who's working in the hospital was invited to attend the party. That includes the maintenance worker, support staff, Interns and other medical staff.Katatapos ko lang maligo at magbibihis na ako. I was wearing a robe while drying my hair. I told Reeve I would do my hair and make-up, and he agreed to it after I rejected his offer to hire a hairstylist and make-up artist for me.Dagdag gastos lang kasi iyon. I'd rather spend my money on much more important things. I started putting on some light make -up that could match my gown and my hairstyle. A video from YouTube was playing while I am putting on make-up. Nang masatisfied ako ay nagbihis na ako.I felt amazed when I looked at myself in front of my vanity mirror. My hair was in soft curls that matched my look. My make-up look was soft glam with peachy-nude lipstick. My gown is a rosegold sequin gown with a ruched cowl like neckline which reaches to my feet.Hu

I EXCUSED myself and quickly stood up when I saw my parent's arrival. Reeve also stood up and followed me. Nasa tabi ko siya habang nakapulupot sa beywang ko ang matigas niyang braso."Hi, Mom." I gave her a peck on the cheeks. "Hi, Dad!" I hugged and kissed him on his cheeks."Hello, sweetie!" Mom eyed me before her eyes flew to the man standing beside me. Her mouth was agape before he hit Daddy's arms. "Babe, may boyfriend na ang panganay natin!" She said.My cheeks burned in an instant."Good evening, Mr and Mrs Altamirano. I'm Zuriel Reeve Roschefort. It's my pleasure to meet you both again." Nalaglag ang panga ko nang magpakilala at maglahad siya ng kamay sa mga magulang ko."Zuriel Reeve. . ." Dad looked at him piercingly. "It's been Eleven years, am I, right? Ano nang balak mo sa anak ko?" "Dad!" I appalled."Babe, huwag mo naman biglain ang mga bata," humahagikgik na sabi ni Mommy. "Pero kailan nga ba ang kasal?" bigla niyang hirit."Mom!" I exclaimed. I never felt pressured

NAMAYANI ang katahimikan sa pagitan namin pagkatapos kumain. Hindi ko maitatanggi na nabusog ako ng sobra. I looked up when Reeve suddenly stood up from his chair, then offered me his hand like he was asking me for a dance. "Can I have this dance, My wife?" Natigilan ako. Probably, I look like a deer caught in the headlight because I heard him chuckle softly. I looked at him. "I forgot the music," he muttered. And as if on cue, romantic music started to play from a speaker that the violinist quickly followed. Napakurap-kurap ako bago unti-unting tinatanggap ang nakalahad niyang kamay. A smile instantly formed on his lips, and his amber eyes suddenly glimmered. He swiftly held my hand, and placed them on his shoulder before he snaked his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. We started swaying slowly to the romantic music. His eyes lingered on mine as we kept on dancing under the moonlight. "Who would have thought that you could dance?" I jested. The side of his lips ro
