[CHRISTMAS]
Duke brought me here at the Holy Grain Coffee Shop that is only nearby. He is now sitting in front of me and we are waiting for our order to arrive. I only order a Cappuccino while he order Dolce Latte.
I'm a little bit uneasy at this moment, thinking what are we going to talk about. Is it about what happened between us that night? Oh crap! I hope it is not.
"Is there something troubling you, Christmas?" Duke asked in his forehead knotted.
"Can I go in the comfort room?" I asked permission instead of answering his question.
He chuckled. "Of course, you can just don't make me wait too long."
I didn't reply on him and immediately walk towards the comfort room. I face myself in the mirror and close my eyes for a second, thinking what I should do if it's that we are going to talk about.
"I think I can ditch and leave him here?" I said to myself in the mirror
[Christmas]It is 2:00 a.m. now and I'm still awake. My eyes are darted the whole time in the pregnancy test that I bought while I'm heading here at my apartment. I am scared on what might be the result if I use this. I am scared as well on how I will deal this alone if I really am. Just like what I had said, I'm really going to regret and I am now!"Damn it!" I get off my bed and head to the bathroom to use the pregnancy test to get rid of these thoughts of me.After a minute that I spent inside the bathroom, I am with the result now inside my hand. I go back first to bed and place my pillow into my lap. I close my eyes for a moment, praying for the negative result."Please, make it negative so I won't see anymore Duke," I whispered in the cold air and slowly open my hands to see what is really the result. I almost drop the pregnancy test as I saw it's positive.I woke up ear-no, no, no! I didn't e
[Christmas] The driver stopped me here in front of this huge building that precisely that the address in the card. I can't say anything but to feel amaze on how can he manage this Earl Grey. He still young at his features but already running a company. Duke is so damn lucky that he don't have to suffer in finding money.“Hey!” My attention was caught when the security guard standing at the entrance shouted. He is walking now towards me and I started to panic a little. What did I do?“This is not a waiting area,” he said.“Ah-ahm, actually, I ain't waiting.” I gripped my lower lip. “I am here to see Duke. Is he here?” I asked.His brow arched for a second like a damn woman. “Do you have an appointment to him?”“A-appointment?” I asked stupidly.“Yeah, appointment.”“I don't have an app–”
[Lorie] I am now here in the Parlor making my look elegant for our dinner tonight. I don't know but I feel like this is it. The love I'd been waiting all my life. I think that Carlos has a crush on me that's why he asked me for a dinner. My charm still working even I am already at my 30's, huh?“Lor, where are you going anyway?” asked of Denden who is the one fixing me here. He is my first friend since I made up my mind to moved here in Orlando.“A man asked me a dinner earlier,” I answered proudly at him.He suddenly turn around the swivel chair I am sitting in to him. “Hey, Lorie, don't lie to me. It is not funny!”I laughed at him. “Why? Don't you want to believe that someone is finally asked me a dinner?” I asked and turned back the swivel chair facing at the wall mirror. I am now wearing a black bodycon matching my black stilleto.“For real, Lorie?”
[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] We stay almost one hour and thirty minutes in my count before we arrived on a quite village. Yeah, it's quite because only trees I can see here and there are only few house I saw since we enter. We stop here in a huge gate that made if wood and it is suddenly opened.“How did the gate opened? Who opened it? I can see no one,” I asked while he is entering the car.“I have this remote control.” Duke showed me the small thing he used. “You close the gate.” He gave me the remote control.“Which here is the close?” I asked staring at the red and green button.“The red one.”I pressed the red button and look back if the gate is going to close. A smile formed on my face as I saw it closed. “This is amazing.” I said and give back the remote control but he didn't mind. “Ahm, are we not going out?” I asked because he is just staring at me that made me fee
[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 eyesI 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
One year later...[Lorie]“Any news about your niece, hmm?” Carlos asked while standing at the balcony with his cigarette.“I never heard of her since the day she told me she was sick,” I answered and of course it was only a lie.“Tsk. Where she would be right now? I already found her and she is gone again,” he said madly. Carlos have been looking for Christmas and there is no day that he didn't ask me about her. He gives me a hundred times of question in a day like as if I care. His too much obsess with her to the point when we are having sex instead of calling my name he is calling her name. What the fuck is wrong with this man? Before Christmas left here in Orlando, she come to my old house and thank God I am not with Carlos that moment. That's why he didn't know and I don't have neither a plan to tell him. My niece is with his prince charm
[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
