"Grandma!"I hugged her right away as soon as I saw her. The wrinkles of her skin became more visible compared to the last time we saw each other.She seem to not recognize me at first but when she held my face her croaked smile showed up and then she hugged me again.I felt the comfort, the gentleness of her touch. It almost cleansed my soul. I never knew I needed that. I knelt in front of him in tears. She was sitting in her wheelchair, she was outside the mansion and the maid was with her. I told the maid to just go and said I'll take care of it."I missed you, grandma." a tear fell in my eyes as I look at her face.It’s been so long since I last saw her. I don’t have a lot of memories with grandma but every memory I have with her is still so clear in my mind. When the Brooks are busy she used to always visit me in this house.She always brings her dog and let me walk it. She knows how to bake, she knows how to knit. All of her skill, she all thought me. We sometimes would sit outs
Okay. I admit. I’m done with the level of blindness. I’m not naive to realize it all, but I’m not assuming to assume it all.What if he really does have feelings for me? Her mom doesn't like me. Isn't that one of the reasons why I avoided him and now I'm married to someone I don't like?Now I’m more proven. That life is like a vast sea. Different waves with different directions, one move will cause another wave. They said you should not worry about tomorrow and live your life to fullest, but now I’m a living proof that that’s not true.Because if you don’t think about tomorrow, you won’t strive for the present.I walked silently on his hallway. I was looking for him because I was going to ask him if he would come with me to dinner. I found the door of his office open.I peek through the door of his office, and I saw his back facing the door.His hands are on the table and I think he’s doing something on his laptop.I entered silently, he didn't even notice me because of his excessive
I knelt on the table to level him. I don't know what went through my mind and now this is our situation.I came here to ask him what’s for dinner and here I am, eating his lips.I moaned when he bit my lips. I became more aggressive, my hands couldn't find what it wants to touch. As long as I pass it on any part of his body.His fingers reached the buttons of my cardigan, while his kisses are working so hard to crawl from my lips down to my neck. I craned my neck to give him more access but when his fingers touched a flesh of my boobs, it was like a dream that I suddenly woke up.I stopped kissing him. I leaned my forehead against his forehead while panting.He stopped too, I gulped can’t look straight in his eyes.Without a word I went down to the table and was about to left, but before I could take a step, he pulled me.I could see the burning in his eyes."Let go of me."I simply said and tried to get away but he still grabbed me tightly without any effort.“Tell me, did you ever t
For a moment I felt like floating in the air hearing and confirming the question in my head.But that moment ended and I realized that it’s not all the same now. I’m married and the reality that his mom doesn’t want me for him will never change.And so instead of saying anything, that night I ran into his room and locked myself in there. I barely slept. All I wanted to do was cry, and when I woke up the next day, another reality came to me."What?"I rolled over on the bed. I held my head because it’s pounding. It was almost morning when I fell asleep and I also woke up to the loud sound of my phone.“Alright. I’ll go now. ”I hurriedly got dressed and prepared to leave. I was in tears at what I found out. I grab my purse and hurry out the door.When I came out the door I was immediately stopped by Hugh's presence there.He also seemed surprised when I came out. It’s like he’s contemplating to come in his room or what. He scanned me and fear immediately embedded in his eyes.“You’re l
”I’m sorry about earlier. She must have been in her right state. ”I said to Hugh while holding granny's hand. He is asleep again now. He did not speak and just look at me. I averted my eyes from her, still remembering the conversations she and my grandmother had had.“You can go now. You can’t just stay in here. I can manage. I know you have a lot to do in Rockwell’s.” I said without looking at him. I heard him sigh. He approached my seat and the space between the two of us was reduced a little."Call me when you need me." I nodded.He held my nape and my eyes shut automatically. He dampened a pooch on my forehead and all worries seemed to fade away.”I’m sorry about last night. I shouldn’t have done that, you’re still married- ”“By papers,” I cut his words.He nodded and just folded his arms."Still, I shouldn't have done that." I sighed.His principles are the same as mine. But those principles seem to be forgotten every time we challenge ourselves.“Know that I won’t force you t
"Mom, I'm glad you're back."I kissed mom.”I know, thank you honey. It’s just that we had some problems with the client and we weren’t able to go home in time. ”I nodded even though I’m still thinking about how it is so easy for them to let grandma be alone.”How about dad? Is he well? ”"He's a bit tired so he went straight to the mansion."Mom and I were still talking while grandma was asleep. It’s been exactly a week since grandma was confined at the hospital. She’s getting worse each day. There are more chances that he doesn't know me.“Where’s Echo?” she asked.My lips went flatline. I don’t know how I’m going to answer that question of his."He's probably busy with the company.""He's still out of town?""I'm not really sure mom." I said casually so that she wouldn’t notice how indifferent I am.On the other hand, I would say that the mother of his future grandchild is with him.“Alright. Thank you for being on grandma’s side while we are not around. ” She hugged me.I just ha
Hugh’s POV"Baby, aren't you feeling warm?"I asked her as I feel her sweats on her nape She shook her head. I chuckled lightly. Compare to the days when she’s with me, she’s specially clingy tonight. .Even though I just want to hug her until morning, I don't want her to have a hard time."Come on, we need to eat."I’m talking about the food I prepared for us tonight. She just shook her head still hugging me.My clothes were wet from her tears, but I didn't care. I just want him to be comfortable because we’ve been standing there before.That means he still hugged me earlier. I could do nothing but walk while he hugged me. I guided her into the table so that we can eat our meal now.Specially that she had problem with eating. But gladly, for the past week that she’s been with me she’s eating fine.I made her sit down on the chair and my eyes looked at her full of compassion. Her eyes are puffy and her hair is sticking into her face because of sweat and tears. I knelt my other knee so
"Baby,"I thought I was just dreaming. "Baby,"Hugh's tiny voices woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes and his eyes immediately opened on me. I was still hugging him.I immediately averted my face from him because I was afraid I had some dirt on my face. I don't remember anything else last night but him hugging me and my tight hug with him. I slept very soundly next to him."Morning," he said and kissed my forehead."Hmm."I just moaned because I didn’t know if my breath still smelled fresh.“I don’t want to wake you up this early but your phone keeps ringing. I think it’s urgent. ”I frowned and looked at the cellphone which was now silent and no one was calling. I turned to the other side of the bed and without a word stood up and left him there to go to the bathroom.The ritual I performed inside the bathroom also took a long time. I did all the work. Brushed my teeth and washed my face, making sure that no particles will be seen. It's embarrassing for the goddess outside.Even in
