FRANTICALLY rummaging her closet for the perfect clothes to wear. Cath is half-mindedly fighting over herself for doing such things right now. Contradicts her initial plan and in the situation where she is like a teen who will about to go on her first date. “No, no, no.” She protested, walking back and forth as she is contemplating what to wear from the limited clothes that she bought. Where almost of it are all her business attires and not one single clothe is suited for the night. Worse with the fact at hand that she shouldn’t be stressing out about something unnecessary. For she is just going with Sam’s family for a dinner date, minus the date. “It’s just a friendly dinner, that’s all. You do not need to think about it or be anxious like this Catherine.” As she convinces herself, patching the reality and the facts that she should be prioritizing right now. Yet, her mind and a part of it that is stupidly telling her otherwise are turning her sense of reality upside down. “Rem
HIS head is high, yet anyone can tell that he is in his deep thoughts at the moment. That even though he is staring at the lights of the city on the highest floor of his company building. He is taken deep into his thoughts that Brian can tell what. “Ehem!” He made his presence known that for a while now is standing on the side which he didn’t notice coming after knocking at his door three times. “You’re here.” He then casually recognizes his secretary’s presence, as he quickly brought his mind back to reality after drifting quite far away. “Do you have something to say that I should work on immediately?” Knowing him and quite deep, Brian didn’t need any words from him to be able to know what he wanted and was thinking. Something like he is an open book to him, Brian in the meanwhile is his honest friend and companion that he could trust in everything. Even with his current dilemma that falls into the category of the person who got away. “She is doing well and having the
HAVING a lovely evening and so far, the twins are having the best time of their lives while Cath’s attention is on the twins, who are now regarding her as their mother-to-be. Lindsey could help, but tease her brother and somehow try, no, she is making him realize how stupid he is from the past and that he shouldn’t let Cath slip anymore from his hands. “It will be perfect and too good if Cath will be the mother of the twins.” Directly stating her thoughts, where she is not used to beating around the bush. That titled her from the past as the queen to whom no one could ever mess around aside from being the younger sister of the most famous student in the university. “Don’t you agree, Sam?” Speechless for a moment as he then glances back to Cath who is more than willing to feed the twins that those twins are all happy about. Thoughts started to flood his mind, as he knew that his sister is right. If he wanted to change everything and mend the broken relationship from the past, he
“WON’T you agree, love is really good?” Dumbfounded as they are at a loss for words upon hearing such words from the seven years old girls. Monique couldn’t be much happy at the moment. “Yes. Yes, of course.” Forced to answer the little girl as Xander is cornered on the spot where he doesn’t have any choice but to agree half-heartedly to the little girl. Whose smiles and words are so adorable to resist. “I know. I always know that I am right.” Proud and all smile, Cath couldn’t help but giggle at how helpless her younger brother was towards his little fan. Where he is caught red-handed and unprepared by the surge of sweetness that Monique has. “You will join us for dinner right, Xander?” With those pleading eyes that is Xander’s weakness. He looks at Cath and asks for help silently and through his eyes, where Cath picks up immediately. Honestly enjoying herself, she could let her brother stay longer than he should, not after she just convinced him to retire for the night.
“PROMISE!” How fleeting it is for Sam that at that moment he is reminded of the past that he should be reminiscing with the person who should have been his twin’s mother and his wife. But seeing his children attached and comfortable with Cath, he is now thinking of the ways and fasts to convince Cath to stay with them, with him, and for good. “Yes!” Monique cheers and Cole smiles for that confirmation and promises that Cath just assures them. “Isn’t that great, Monique, Cole?” Lindsey added and was more than happy about what is currently happening. Nodding at the twin’s response to their aunt, Cole gladly went back to his seat when a piece of sweet music suddenly played. “Look at that, isn’t this music just perfect for a dance?” Sending her intended and real message towards her brother as she looks at him while saying those words. Once more they’re both gazes find each other, wherein this time Cath couldn’t help herself, but smile. Her smile reflected her beauty and more.
“HOW about you?” Cath throws back the question right at Sam, whose eyes are fixed on her with his desire growing deep inside. While Cath is hesitating if she should ask the questions that pertain to the what if’s if Sam didn’t hurt her then. “Have you?” She asks following with the multiple ones. “Did you think about me all of those years?” Lock in each other’s eyes and arms. They felt like nothing else matter at that moment. No one is around, but only the two of them who are currently in deep wanting emotions towards each other, yet they are just too proud to admit it. For now. “Did you ever care for me, Sam?” Taken a bit aback by the question, Sam suddenly felt the fear of disappointing Cath more than his unprepared heart and mind to confess how foolish he had been for hurting her back then. He slowly touches her face and her lips, where he wanted to end this charade and confess to her the truth. But he can’t, not now and by the least. "I still---" A confession that he is dy
IN a hurry, he quickly went out of his car and made his way to his company while untying his ties and removing his suit in the process. “Sam.” Brian meets him at the entrance handing him a blue suit and tie which he immediately wore as they march towards the elevator with a bit of stress out expression. “How long?’ He asked, in time as the elevator closes inquiring Brian for the details for the surprise visit of his biggest potential business partner. “Fifteen minutes. He didn’t ask for anything, as he gladly is waiting for you in your office.” Puzzled by the last sentence that Brian informs him. He looks at him for a second, just when Brian fixed his glasses and drops him the worse news that he’s been telling him on the phone. Gasping, but still in his composed and professional demeanor despite knowing that Sam will be in some kind of tight spot, he said. “Miss Erika is here.” Silence took place, but for a few seconds before the elevator sounded and opens to their floor. W
ON their way home, Cath couldn’t help but think about what happened earlier. That though she is convincing herself that she isn’t disappointed, it all shows on her face. “Can I guess what you are thinking right now?” Lindsey interrupted her thoughts with a grin on her face. In the mood to tease her by which she always casually shoves her off with her attempts. “Maybe tomorrow?” She shut her up that Lindsey isn’t buying for a bit and rolled her eyes as a pre-response to her. “The kids are already sleeping, Lindsey. They are tired and as much as possible I do not want them to be woken up because you are teasing me with their father.” Her reason, and her scapegoat that Lindsey knew otherwise. Still finding something to throw at her and tease her at the end. “Acting like the mother of the twins. I’m going to record this one.” She snaps a pick and quickly that left Cath speechless and with no room to even protest. All along with Harry, that is supporting Lindsey and everything
