“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
"IT’S not that hard to fall for her, and that’s a fact.” A confession? The word and somewhat a hunch that Cath is making sense and right inside her mind. Taken aback and immediately looking away from Sam that for that moment and a few seconds is someone that is wavering her heart and worse, with his Casanova nature that she should resist. “Aren’t ‘you’, Lindsey suddenly said emphasizing the word you while looking back at the both of them. “Already fallen in love?” Caught with the statement that Lindsey cunningly just said. They both look at each other and back, where Cath suddenly felt her heart beating fast and the atmosphere turns warm. “I mean from the past!” Lindsey then gave back her words but teased them both with her scheming plan and amused expression. “For I am sure that everyone falls in love once in their life, right?” Everyone then nods, agreeing with her words, but in truth is her ever-teasing game towards the two. “Daddy, do you like Miss Cath.” Once more ca
HOW did she end up in this situation? The question that Cath is running into her mind. All after she said yes, and like subconsciously agrees to stay for a night. “Come on Cath, keep yourself together.” She somehow is scolding herself and at the same time reminding her that she shouldn’t walk away from her initial plan and ends up repeating her mistake from the past. With a knock on the door, she immediately composes herself and opens it to be greeted by nanny Ester with clothes at hand. “Thank you, nanny Ester.” Appreciating, the old woman places her change of clothes for the night on top of her bed in one of the mansion’s guest rooms. “How long has it been?” Nanny Ester suddenly asks, reminiscing with her tone of longing and hoping in her voice. “Six years?” Smiling back and nodded as she reply to the old woman who had once been her second mother. Most of all and out of the rest knew what happened in the past is both a good and bad thing for her to remember. “I didn’t
“BUT that part is still negotiable, right?” Words that mean more than what they initially had. Sam couldn’t help but smile confidently after asking Cath the question that left her speechless at that moment. “Pa-pardon?” She stutters a bit which makes him smirk. “I’ll just be outside.” In a time when the servants knock on the door and he let them inside. He deliberately left Cath wondering what he means by those words. “Was that?” She whispers to herself, as she didn’t even notice that Sam is no longer by her side. “Tsk!” Sam smirks, proud of himself and the words that he just said to Cath. Closing the door for the servants to attend to Cath’s needs. He is surprised to see Lindsey now standing in front of him with her knowing look and teasing smile. “There is no need to act surprised, Sam. You and I already know this little game that you are playing. But do not worry, I am completely at your side.” She assures, patting him on the shoulder. Couldn’t help, but shake his h
