Bobby gave me a sympathetic look before I get off his car. I knew he wanted to say sorry to me but that would be too much. I should be the one telling him that apart from saying my gratitude for being my hero in many instances that happened in my life recently.To say that he saved me from Quim is accurate. If he didn’t come, there was still a chance that I would tell Quim to drive the car back to his garage and I would stay with him all night. I could have done all the crazy things that any love struck young lady would do in a place shared by only two people. Now that I’m back to my senses, I realized that I wasn’t really ready to be crazy in love.“Thanks, Bobby. As always,” I told him.“Call me…only if you want to,” he said putting no pressure on me. My mother shouted my name when she saw me. “I thought you wouldn’t be able to make it before the curfew,” she said.“I’m here already,” I told her.“Why was he here? Where did you two go?” she asked. My father is just watchin
I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire Chapter 28: Time With The Other One
Time is either our ally or our enemy. In my case, it’s both. I am not sure how much of it works to my advantage and how much is not.Another two months in this pandemic situation had gone by. I couldn’t say I was at my loneliest as I am still able to get my share of blessings amidst this crisis.“So, you’re really doing it regularly,” Ally, my dear big sister said. It’s so early in the morning for her nagging.“I have to do it. I can’t just stay home and do nothing,” I told her.“And whose fault is that?” she asked.Here we go again. We always start our conversation like this. “I admit it’s my fault. I should have not left my first job. It was not doing anything wrong to me. I was treated well. I got everything I asked. It was a dumb decision to leave it especially during this time. Satisfied?” I answered.“Audrey, our parents are so concerned. Are you even thinking about your future?” she asked.“I live for the moment, Ally. That’s what I do,” I said.“I don’t know what

The sunny but breezy weather calls for an afternoon nap. “Guys, you know the drill,” Uncle Rex said. It’s time for his favorite past time.“Go ahead, old man. I’ll follow,” Auntie Blessy teased him.“Why don’t you join him now?” I asked.“After I put these aside,” she said.“I’ll take care of the dishes, Mom,” Bobby said.“Are you sure?” she asked.“We can both take care of this,” I said like a true family member. “You can stay in the living room if you want while I put these dishes in the washer,” Bobby said.“Of course not. I will help you,” I said.“You’re our special guest,” he said.“Special? I always come here so what’s special about me?” I asked.“I’ll leave you two here. I need some rest. We’ll have a full night later,” Auntie Blessy said. “Does your sister look like her?” I asked Bobby.“Some people say they look alike,” he said.“She must’ve missed her a lot. Maybe she thinks of me as her temporary replacement,” I said trying to give a reason why his mother likes
I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire Chapter 30: Dream Man, Dream Life
When I was a little girl, I would picture myself as a married woman in my late thirties starting a family with my husband in a nice and comfortable house that is both beautiful and functional. I never dreamed of a mansion where I could get lost or spend the day without seeing my family because our house is too big.I want a close family where we gather on weekends from doing chores in the morning to relaxing in the afternoon and capping off the night with some games and late night drinks. Today, I am seeing the possibility of that dream life.“Stop staring. I can’t concentrate,” Bobby said. He’s mixing a bowl of pancake batter.“You’re so into it. If I was the one doing that, I’d only give it a few mix and it’s done,” I said.“I’m after consistency,” he said.“Consistency? You’re not in a cooking show and it’s just us eating it,” I said.“This is the first food that I learned to cook. It’s special to me and now it’s your time to try it,” he said.“It’s your special dish?” I as
I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire Chapter 31: Break The Cycle
Not everyone has a chance to experience quality family time in the midst of this scary pandemic. I guess I have to sincerely savor every minute I am in this moment for those who’ve been missing it and wanting to be in my place.“I don’t think I can still eat dinner. These pancakes are so fluffy and I had three,” I said.“Just walk around and soon you’ll burp. After that, you’ll feel hungry again,” Bobby said.“Yes, you need to make room for dinner. We’ll have barbeque featuring my special marinade,” Auntie Blessy said.“I should’ve taken a nap this afternoon so I could skip these pancakes and eat a lot later,” I said.“It’s useless. Once you’ve tasted your Auntie Blessy’s barbeque, you will surely ask for more whether you still have space in your stomach or none,” Uncle Rex said complimenting his wife’s signature marinade.“How long have you been married?” I asked.“Good question. Dear, what do tell anyone who asks?” Auntie Blessy said.“We’ve been married in civil for thirty yea

“Don't you know that you have to keep your eyes on the road when driving,” I reminded Bobby as he drives the car while constantly looking at the mirror to see me.“What’s there to watch on the road? We are the only one driving here and the most beautiful spot is there at the back,” he said.“Seriously,” I said.“Alright. I will. So, I’ll pick you up this Wednesday?” he asked.“This Wednesday already? I’ve not even reached home,” I told him.“Much later then?” he asked with less enthusiasm in his voice.“Let’s say…Saturday again?” I suggested.Bobby’s eyes grew bigger as I saw them on the mirror.“Really? I’d love that!” he said. He got excited.“But I’m going home in the evening,” I said. I realized that we are now in the stage when we are getting to know each other better. Coming to their house is no longer just a friendly visit.“Is it because we are dating now?” he asked. He thought the same way.“Yes, Sir,” I said.“In some countries, when they say that their status is ‘da
I Don't Want To Live With A Billionaire Chapter 33: Clash of the Cuties
The cable program started with a live quick recap of previous featured young corporates then proceeded with the recorded profile discussion of the latest featured young corporates. They featured Quim and Bobby side by side as if they were opponents in a boxing match. It’s a good thing that in boxing, the winner is determined by scoring or by knock outs, and not by feelings or whoever is nicer. They’re big boys so I just let them play.“Gentlemen, I don’t need to ask but your credentials tell us that you have known in each other from way back,” the host started.He’s correct. Quim and Bobby have almost similar credentials except that Bobby has other fields where he excels while Quim focuses more in developing new software where he is really good.“From schools to sports, you’re almost the same. Was there some kind of a competition while growing up?” the host added.“He’s my boss so if there was any competition, he surely was the winner,” Bobby said wittingly.“I don’t play any sports

“Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the show! Last Sunday, we featured two gentlemen from IT & S, a start-up tech company led by its president and CEO Joaquim Balaguer and vice president and head of marketing Jose Roberto Alonzo. We call them simply by Quim and Bobby respectively,” the main host said.“And oh boy, didn’t we get tons of inquiries about those two guys? We couldn’t believe we would get that much attention by having them on the show,” the co-host said.“And the questions were more on their personal lives,” the main host said.“Some even complained that they don’t have socmed accounts,” the co-host said.“I could feel their frustration. Imagine our viewers wanting to know more about them but couldn't find those cute details elsewhere,” the main host said.“That’s why they bombarded us with lots of questions about those two,” the co-host said.“So, to save time, we chose the top 3 questions we received and the corresponding answers that we got straight from Quim and Bo
