Chapter 13
KATE raised her head when she saw her friend Natalie sitting across her chair. She was inside the library, finishing her activities so she could catch up for the prelims.
“So. Rob wants to recruit you to be their—”
“Natalie…” She heaved a sigh. “I told you I’m not in for a gig right now.”
She wanted to focus on her studies, and as much as possible, she did not want to upset Jan.
“What is wrong with that? It’s during the night, and it’s not even every night so—”
“Jan would not allow me,” she told her friend.
“Did you tell him? Did he say no?” Natalie arched a brow. “Come on, Katie! I bet you haven’t even tried asking him.”
“Fine. I’m not… interested. I just came with you last time because I want us to bond after years of not seeing each other.” Kate ran her fingers through her hair and

“JONA, can you send me a copy of your notes?” Kate asked her friend as they walked through the hallway. They just got out of the faculty office. “I just remember that I have no notes for this coming prelim exam.”“Oh, sure. Just text me your email address, and I will send it to you right away.” She beamed at her. “Anyway, I have to leave first.” Jona kissed her on the cheek. “`Bye, lovely. See you tomorrow.”“What? Where are you going? I thought you would come with me to the library to return the books?”“I’m meeting someone. He texted me just now,” her friend said, waving her phone in front of her face.“Traitor,” she said, laughing.Kate headed to the library and returned the books. After that, she went straight home. She had been doing that school-home routine since she and Jan had a fight that day she went out with Natalie. It was her fault, an

KATE sipped her tea a few consecutive times because she let go of the cup. She joined her mother-in-law in the veranda as she waited for her husband to come home from the hospital. He was gone for almost an hour now and still has not returned. She could not help but think that something happened like Jan brought Winona home and the latter would not let him leave and then they would end up in bed and there goes a one steamy night…She shook her head hard to erase such thought. There she goes again… paranoid. But she just could not help overthinking. There was not even a single phone call from him to update them on what had happened and why he was running late to return home. Kate checked her phone again and sighed when she saw no updates from Jan.Maybe this is how it feels to wait for nothing… said the voice at the back of her head.“A penny for your thoughts?” She turned her gaze in the direction of Jan’s mother,

JAN opened his mouth but decided to close it again and turned around. He sauntered towards the walk-in closet, but after a few moments, he felt something hard hit his back.“Don’t you turn your fucking back at me when I’m not done talking to you!” Katherine snarled at him.“I don’t want to fuck you, Katherine.” He turned to face her again, gritting his teeth.Her mouth dropped open. “Fuck you… Jan!”“I want to make love with you….” His voice trailed off.He meant what he said, but it was his fear that kept holding him back. He was scared Katherine would disappear once he set his feelings free.“J-Jan…” He saw tears welled from her eyes. Katherine sauntered towards him and grasped his arms. “What are you so afraid of when you’re feeling the same way for me too?”Jan brought his hands to her cheeks and met her gaze.

KATE slowly opened her eyes the following day, and she could not help but smile at the sight that greeted her. Unlike those days, Jan was still lying beside her, with an arm around her waist. He was still asleep. Kate did not know that watching him breathe peacefully would mean so much to her.She brought her hand to his cheek and gently caressed it. He would take more time to fully open his heart for her, but Kate was more than willing to wait. She then lightly trailed her fingers from the bridge of his nose down to his cherry-colored lips. Kate saw his lips move, and it was so tempting. So, she crossed their distance and kissed him.Jan kissed her back, deep, rough, and then slowly. Damn, he was such a tease. And then the realization hit her.“You’re awake!” she moved away and punched his chest.He chuckled softly. “Yes.”Jan pulled her close to him and sucked one nipple. His leg then moved and parted her legs. Now h

THE manager welcomed Jan and Kate when they arrived in the restaurant. “Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Villamar,” the woman smiled at them. “Let me escort you to your reservation.” She gestured in the hallway. “Thanks.” Jan nodded his head and turned to her. “Let’s go, Katherine. He palmed her back and guided her along the way. She was surprised to learn that her husband had reserved a private dining hall for their lunch. “This is unnecessary, Jan,” Kate muttered as they walked towards the table. He pulled a chair for her. “Consider this as our first date,” Jan said with a grin as he sat on the chair across hers. Kate tried to calm herself when she felt her stomach flutter. Did he just say that they were on a date? “Excuse me, Sir, Ma’am,” the manager chimed in. “I will have your meal served in fifteen minutes,” she informed them before going out of the dining hall. She put her hands above her lap and rubb

JAN watched and listened to the presentation inside the conference room with a hand propped on the side of his head. He knew he should be absorbing everything, but nothing registered in his mind. Whatever comes into the right ear goes out to the left. Why? Simple because he was dying to talk to his brother about the favor he wanted him to do for his wife.“What can you say about it, Jan?”His father’s voice pulled him out of his reverie.“Hmm? What did you say again, Dad?” Jan sat up straight and fixed his coat.“I said, what can you say about the proposal.” Alejandro Villamar Sr. shook his head.“It’s, uhm… I think it’s great.” He scratched his jaw. “I just want a little revision with the hotel’s parking and the rooftop garden.”The architects nodded their heads.“And uhm, please send a copy of the presentation to my secretary.” He

KATE woke up with a heavy head that morning. Maybe because she stayed up late last night finishing her schoolwork. They would go out to play golf with Jan’s friends, so there would be no time left for her to do it later that day. Jan was no longer beside her that morning, and when she went to the bathroom, it was empty. Ah, perhaps he had gone downstairs for breakfast.She washed and fixed herself. And when she got out of the bathroom, she saw her husband’s assistant inside the room.“O-oh. Hi, Rose,” she greeted shyly as she fixed her messy hair with her fingers.“I’m sorry if I barged in. I knocked on your door, but it seemed that you didn’t hear it inside the bathroom,” Rose explained.“Oh, yeah. Uhm… the water’s running.” Her gaze reverted to the clothes hanging on the rack.“Ah. Sir Jan told me that you’ll be playing golf. You can choose from these brands what

SHE heaved a deep sigh when the car pulled in inside the garage. Jan got off first and opened the door for her.“Thanks,” Kate said as she got off from the passenger ‘seat.She slowly sauntered to the door, and he followed her.“Katherine.” Jan heaved a sigh.“Yes?” She turned to face him.She was surprised when he suddenly hugged her tightly.“J-Jan… you’re squeezing me,” she said.“Oh. I’m so sorry.” He loosened his arms around her and slowly freed her.“I think you should give your friends a call.” She held his hands. “They’re definitely wondering where we are now.”“Oh. Yeah.” Jan fished his phone.”“I’ll head inside first and see if there’s something to eat,” she said before heading inside the house.Nana Talia was going down the staircase when she
