Jake's POV.
"Jake please come help me zip up this gown." Maria asks as our eyes met in the mirror.
"Sure thing babe." I smiled. I stopped buttoning my shirt and then walked towards the front of the mirror as I helped her zip up.
"You look beautiful as always." I whispered into her ears as I kissed her neck, mkaing her relax on me.
"Even in this period?" She asked.
Truth be told, she actually put on some weight and her breasts has gotten fuller but it doesn't look bad. She still looks as beautiful as the first time I met her. "Yes, especially in this period." I grinned at her and she laughed.
"Thank you." She placed her hands on her tummy, "you don't look bad yourself." She winked and this time it was my turn to laugh.
"Did you just wink at me??"
"Of course I did." She said proudly.
"You call that a wink?" I put emphasis on the 'that'
"Of course." She turned aro
Jake's POV"Maria!" I shouted as I woke up suddenly, breathing heavily."Jake, Jake, calm down I'm right here." I heard Maria's soothing's voice beside me as she rubbed my back. I tried slowing down my mind from getting hazy, it was just a dream, a bad dream. "It's okay, I'm here, I'm here baby." She whispered, a worried look on her face.I pulled her closer to me, embracing her. I never want to let her go. I love her.I love her??I love her."Was it a nightmare?" As asked as she ran her hands through my hair. I closed my eyes as I placed my head on her chest."Yeah." I exhlaed."Do you want to talk about it?""No, not really."I don't want to relieve that dream. Let alone of thinking about it.She placed a kiss on my head, "okay, go back to sleep. It's okay. I will be right here." She smiled at me.God, that smile. I live everyday to see t
Jake's POV."You decided to cheat on me." I pointed an accusing finger at her, "not the other way around.""Yes, I do agree that I cheated on you. But it was a mistake baby." She cooed as she moved closer to me."Don't come near me!" I exclaimed my voice higher than I intended it to be."But I love you." She whined."No, you don't." I chuckled humorlessly, "why are you here? Why are you doing this now?" I asked as I cross d my arms against my chest. At this point I am really trying to keep my anger in check. She can not just barge into my office and just start spewing all sorts of things. I loved her, I did but she just took my heart and ripped it into shreds. Even after our breakup, I admit I did sleep with a few women, but that did not make me a fuck boy. I still respected them.She exhaled loudly, "come grab lunch with me?" She asked softly.I really wa
Maria's POVAs soon as we entered the diner the bell made a noise. The diner was bustling with people and noise. But not too much noise. Joe took in a large breath and then released it, "I love the smell of their burger and fries." She explained when she saw me giving here a weird look."Philip isn't here yet?" I asked looking around.She brought out her phone from her back pocket, "nope, he said he will he here in five minutes.""Then let us find a place to sit."I saw Joe looking at something at my front or someone, "oh shit.""What?" I asked as I followed her line of sight when I saw Jake and a woman together. And she just kissed him on his cheeks."Who the fuck is that?" I asked Joe trying to contain my anger. Is he cheating on me?Jake would not do that. Maybe they are both just business partners."Beverly, Jake's ex girlfriend.""And she just kissed him o
"Babe," I felt a light tap on my shoulder, "baby." Another tap."I know you are awake, so just save both of us the stress of being late." Jake chuckled as he placed a kiss on my nose."Mariaaaaaa." He groaned as he placed a kiss on my shoulder. I let out a grunt, a smile breaking on my face as I turned to face him."Good morning." I greeted him groggily."Morning babe." Her placed a kiss on my lips. He backed up, a smile on his face as he stared at my face, like he was trying to memorise every single detail about me."Stop staring at me." I grinned."Why not?""Because you are making me nervous.""That's a good thing though right? A good type of nervous.""Yeah." I nodded, "yes, it's a good type of nervous.""I-" he wanted to say something but he stopped himself."What?" I asked, my thumb grazing his cheek."Nothing." He shook his head
"Joe! I am so happy for you."Beverly.We all looked up and she was standing there with a grin on her face and a glass of champagne in her hand. Jake pulled me closer to him by my waist."Thank you." Joe gave her a tight lipped smile. We all expect her to leave since my bestfriend already replied her but she still stood there, the stupid grin on her face."Maria, it is so nice to meet you again."I wish I could say the same thing.I gave her a small smile and a nod of my head.Her gaze moved to Jake and her smile widened. Uh, bitch?"Jake, looking handsome as ever." She said. Jake just stared at her boredly before he talked."What are you doing here Beverly?""Your mom invited me of course." She took a seat opposite all of us, taking a sip out of her wine.He scoffed, "My mom would never invite you." Jake spat."Well, she didn't technically
Since I didn't have time to cook whatever it is I wanted to cook yesterday evening. I woke up really early this morning, snuck out of bed , so as not to wake my baby up and then made my way downstairs. I was craving something sweet, maybe cupcakes and croissants and a whole lot of sweet things.I brought out all the bowls and ingredients from the cabinets and then got to work. I prepared the cupcake ingredients by allowing the butter and eggs to stand for about thirty minutes. In thee process of filling the batter into the cup, my phone rang. I sighed as I locked the batter that was smeared on my finger and then picked up the call, Joe."Hey Joe.""Hiiii." She looked like she just woke up from her sleep."Why are you calling this early morning?" I chuckled and then continued filling the cup with the batter."Nothing." She yawned, "I just wanted to check up on you.""Awwn." I locked scooped another batter i
I love you Maria." My heart thuttered in my chest."I love you too." I replied softly as we both kissed ecsch other. Our lips were molded perfectly together, moving in sync with one another.We pulled apart, foreheads still connected as we were breathing heavily, "I thought you were going to tell me to give you more time." He chuckled."I love you." I said softly again as I used my thumb to massage his face"God, I can never get tired of hearing you say that." He whispered against my lips a bright smile on his face.I giggled, "me too.""Come on, let's go." He packed our stuffs from the ground and then held my hand as we walked towards the car.It has been a week since myself and Jake said the 'L' word. I thought he could not be more clingy than after he asked me to be his girlfriend but that's a lie. Ever since that day he has been cuddled up with me, always showering me with kisses and does everything f
Maria's POV.With the huge pounding in my head and the pain in my arms, I tried to open my eyes which was fluttering open and closing at the same time. I groaned again, holding my head in my hands. I tried to open my eyes, but everything was dark and swirly. I took a minute to calm myself and then opened my eyes.I was met with emptiness. I started breathing heavily when the actions of Beverly finally kicked in. She pushed me down the stairs. I could have died or the baby.The baby.I tried to sit down uprightly and rested my back on the wall. No blood. Thank God. My eyes scannee around and this place looks like an incomplete building, or someone is just moving in. There was a single bulb that was illuminating the entire room. I looked around, looking for an escape or even for Beverly but she was not in the room. A few feet away from me, there is a staircase that leads upstairs that
