"Where's my daddy, Mommy?" What Andrei said kept on replaying in my head. The time I'm scared to come is here. He's asking who his father is and I don't know what and how to answer him. Seconds have passed and I still can't come up for an answer and Andrei is looking at me expectantly. I could feel my inside trembling- of fear, uncertainty, and sadness."Andrei-" I was cut off when I heard somebody knock on the door. I looked at Andrei and I want to say how sorry I am but I remained quiet as I opened the door. It revealed Mommy Miranda who's smiling at us. "Dinner's ready," she announced. I gazed at Andrei, who's also gazing at me at the moment. "Let's go?" I asked Andrei and he just nodded. I sighed again. Maybe it's really not the time just yet to tell him. I took his hand and we went to the dining room together. If it wasn't for Mommy Miranda calling us for dinner, I probably have broken down in front of my son. And I don't want that to happen. I know he still won't understand

"Who is he, Mom?" Andrei inquired. His gaze shifted from me to Zandrey. "B-baby.." I uttered. I knelt in front of him and held his face with both my hands. He looked at me and I could see the worry on his face when he saw my tears. "Why are you crying?" He asked, his voice also shaking now. I don’t know if destiny’s playing a game with me now. The past few days, I've been thinking about Zandrey and telling him about Andrei. I was preparing myself for that. But things didn't go my way. And now, on the most random day that we thought of visiting Andres, he's here... and I don't know how to tell the two of them about their existence in each other's life. I never thought this day would come this soon. I was preparing myself for meeting Zandrey. I thought of telling him first then I'll bring him to Andrei. I'll give us time to cry and sink everything in first before I let them meet. Not like this. Not a surprise for all of us like this. "You're asking who's your daddy, right? This ti

"Hi," Zandrey greeted. We decided to meet at a cafe near Andrei's school. I just nodded at him as I took my seat in front of him. I got the menu that was on the table and scanned it. I was busy doing just that when I realized that Zandrey is just sitting there. His intertwined fingers were under his chin and he was looking intently at me. I positioned the menu even higher, enough to cover my face so he couldn't see me. I feel so conscious with the way he looks at me. What happened yesterday felt like a blur for him. It was like we never fought and I never said bad things towards him. I was hurt by my own words. But how come he doesn't seem as hurt as I thought him to be? I ordered first because I was already starving. I had quite a day at work. My head even ached because of the number of report I had to check. I also have a site visit this week. I’ll be very busy for sure. "What?" I asked when I saw Zandrey just staring. He’s just plainly staring at me. There's not even a smile o
One Week Stand Chapter 27
When I arrived at the shop one Saturday morning, Daisy was there, waiting for me. I was quite shocked that she was there as I was not expecting her. She didn’t tell me she’ll be visiting. She already told me about what happened when she told Dom about the baby. She was expecting Dom to want to be out of it, but he said he wanted to be in the baby's life. I thought of how similar our situations are. It seems like we’re going through something quite similar. The only difference is that Dom asked her to marry him. I kind of have the feeling that he has feelings for her since college and the recent happenings just confirmed my thoughts. But Daisy was still hesitant about it and just told him to give her time to think about it. Dom agreed and gave her all the time she needed. Now, weeks have already passed since he said he’ll marry her and I don't know if Daisy already made up her mind. Her belly will be bigger soon so I think she probably has a decision now. "Have you decided already?
One Week Stand Chapter 28
What Dominic said never left my head. But everytime I think about it, what happened years ago would also pop in my mind. Even if he said what he “knew”, I still don’t want to believe. It’s hard to believe things these days."I think I’m hungry again," Daisy suddenly said. Every weekend, I have been staying at the shop because I’m helping Daisy with their wedding preparations. She wanted to have it as soon as possible since her stomach was growing. So whenever I don't have site visits on a weekend, we‘re always together.She would always tell me what happened between her and Dom. While I was still not 100% convinced about his intentions, I can see he really cares and I think that's important. At least Daisy has someone who takes care of her while she's pregnant. "Let’s have lunch, Ai?" Daisy mumbled. She already ate almost the whole pizza I ordered. Almost because I only ate 2 slices. And I thought she wouldn't be going to eat lunch, but she was even the first one to ask for lunch.

"This is the day," Daisy happily said. She's standing in front of the full-length mirror while holding her wedding gown carefully."For sure, you'll be the most beautiful bride," I commented. She looked at me through the mirror and gave me a smile.I couldn’t contain my happiness. I'm happy she's getting married. I'm happy she doesn't have to be alone in raising her baby. The make up artists who will do our hair and make up finally came. They have a few people they need to take care of but Daisy was the priority.When the make-up artist was done, I went ahead and went to check on Daisy. She’s also almost done with her make up so I informed her I need to go first to the church to check everything- just one of my many duties for today as the maid of honor. "Mommy?" Andrei called and I turned to look at him. I was talking to the event organizer. She instructed me what to do since I wasn’t here when they were doing the practice. She said I shouldn't worry because my partner can guide m

I’ve been at the garden for what felt like forever. I don’t want to go back inside just yet. I need to calm myself down. I need to get my senses back.Everything happened so fast and I don't like the way it's making me feel. It was like I was standing in a dimension where my mind won’t cooperate with my body. Not to mention the eyes that were all focused on us, making me freeze and vulnerable.I'm wearing a blush spaghetti-strap dress. It has a very thin fabric, which allows the cold to get into my skin. I don’t have a jacket on, but I’d rather freeze to death than go back there. I wanted to ask if we could go home but it seemed like they were enjoying themselves and I don’t want to be the one who cuts their joy for today. I was just silently sitting on a bench, facing the dancing fountain that was surrounded by sunflowers. On normal days, I would enjoy it because the flowers are so pretty, but today’s far from normal.I was just looking at the beautiful fountain as I let my thoughts
One Week Stand Prologue
My mother was right when she said that not all things go according to plans. She said they have their own ways of complicating lives. But all things, the easy and the complicated, also have their own ways of serving their purposes, and it shall make everything make sense one day.I couldn’t quite remember everything about my mother, except for those words. I was still young, but for some reasons, it stayed in my mind. I waited for that day. I waited for when all the things that happened to me would make sense, because I wanted to know why those happened to me. But it just got me waiting for so long. Apparently, sometimes, it takes a while. "Ma’am Daisy’s waiting for you in your office, Miss Aira," Janine, my assistant said. I paid a glance at her and she was smiling so brightly at me that it made me smile too. It was nice having a friendly face here in the shop.I nodded at Janine and left my unfinished bouquet to her. Sunday has been the busiest day of the week. The orders are a
