Celia was busy zipping the lunchbox in her hand when she bumped into someone at the hospital entrance. When she looked up to apologize, the words got stuck in her throat.She was shocked to see the man standing before her looking strong, not that she wished him bad, though. How long had it been...ten, fifteen years?"Nice to meet you again, Celia. What brings you here? Are you sick or something?" Laurent asked with fake concern.It wasn't quite a pleasure to see you, Celia thought, but instead, she managed, "Mr. Laurent, what a lovely surprise." She bowed slightly in respect, a phony smile on her face."We really have a lot of things to catch up on," Laurent continued. That's if you are not in a hurry. If you may, we could catch up at the café," he said, pointing to the small café at the end of the hospital.I never knew we shared that kind of relationship, catching up over a cup of coffee, Celia almost retorted. "Why not? I still have a few minutes to spare," she said instead, walkin

The broad smile on Laurent's face made Celia feel uneasy. She drank the remaining contents in her cup to ease the crazy sound her heart was making. She might have heart failure at this rate under the intense gaze of Laurent. "Oh really, my regards to your cousin, and you had better do that or else I will rake the hospital just to find your cousin to say hello myself," Laurent joked, taking Celia's hand, which was on the table next to his. Bile rose to her throat at the touch of his hand against hers, the same hand that had caused them great sorrow and distress. She would have stabbed the hand against the wooden table if she were permitted. "I will surely relay your message. You don't have to go through that stress," Celia responded with a nod, hoping she sounded more convincing than how she felt.Can this meeting be over already? she thought. Why the hell was he dragging this on unnecessarily? It's not like they had that kind of relationship before. She could remember how she feared

Ralph had been listening to the women go back and forth from outside the door for quite a while. They had an unusual bond. He was comforted by the sound and didn't want to interfere with their chat. He opened the door when he could no longer hear them. His eyes grew wide when he saw Silva sitting upright with her back against the pillows, legs covered. It was something he hadn’t seen in weeks."What's going on here?" Ralph asked, staring from one lady to another. The last time he checked, Dr. Ben was still assuring him that she would walk soon, but he didn't tell him exactly when. He felt blindsided. Dr. Ben had been vague about timelines. He never realized soon could be this soon, but he was very relieved.Has she been sitting this whole time, and they kept it away from him?"Wel-come sir, we didn't hear you enter," Celia greeted, frightened as if she had seen a ghost and that threw Ralph into more confusion. Her eyes widened like she’d been caught sneaking away with a very pricele

“Don’t stop,” she said, barely above a breath. “But… slow. Please.”That was all the permission he needed.Ralph kissed her once more, this time slower and more deliberately. His lips moved against hers in reverence. He was conscious of the IV line, her healing body, and the tension in her legs. From her temple to her jaw and down the curve of her throat, he traced kisses. Everywhere he touched, he prayed, a silent apology for the days separated, the evenings spent in doubt. As his lips brushed over her nipple, her back arched; his tongue circled lon each nipple as he cradled her breast with one hand. She gasped, the tone raw and unfiltered. Her body was waking up in ways it had not dared in months. He whispered against her skin, "You're warm. Damn, I missed your heat."The flood of emotion caught her off guard; she blinked away a tear. "I missed you also. . . even when I hated you for leaving me here and not calling me back."Ralph smiled faintly and looked up at her. “You never ha

Marco was hiding behind the swimming pool waiting for Rebecca to come out, staring at her from his end. He would have loved to join her in the pool if Laurent didn't decide to stay at home today of all days. Gritting his teeth, he groaned in displeasure at the sight he couldn't touch.He knew he wasn't focusing on the real assignment at hand but he couldn't focus too when he hadn't grabbed what his heart desired. Rebecca is acting more of a bitch especially when Laurent is around, backing orders at him and it frustrates him when Laurent says nothing about it since he couldn't tame his girl by himself, he will do that for him.Rebecca came out of the pool dripping wet from head to toe, the first thing that greeted her was the cold air making the ground cold against her feet with each step she took. She tried her hair with the towel wrapping it around her head to stop the water dripping down her body while she took another one to cover her butt.Putting on her footwear she walked to the
