It was fun. Mel was satisfied by their coupling that morning.
At work, her new mission wasn’t to get excellent performance but to find her man among the crowd. There’s quite a few cute guys and some really handsome men.
She almost entertained an already married person. Good thing someone informed her. Thankfully, someone still cares. Huh. She openly hated him. How dare he try to make her a mistress? It was at this point that her sassy personality was known by others. A few men liked it. It was a kind of spice in a woman. A bit of fire or fierceness is never boring.
She tried to be more selective this time. Two weeks passed before she decided to go on another date. Harold was his name and he’s five years older. From their chat, she can say he’s kind of matured already. His background is quite ordinary. He’s waiting to be promoted to a manager; hopefully this year, he said. She likes his ambition. Her lip twitched when they began to d
Mel smirked. At least, he started swaying that stiff body of his. He wrapped his arms around her waist and followed her movements. Huh, it’s good that he’s wearing casual clothes. She couldn’t imagine him coming here in his corporate suit.She reached a hand over her head to cling to his neck, her movements turning sensual. He moved closer to her, his front touching her back. She began to grind her bottom against his growing erection. She grinned wildly. Oh, he’s getting aroused, isn’t he?She checked herself. Clearly, she’s already feeling better. There’s just a shadow of the creepy feeling she had earlier. She knows it would be gone soon. Just like how she got over that other incident, she’ll get over this, too.Klyde leaned to kiss behind her ear and down her neck. She pressed closer to his chest and wiggled her hips. His hands began to caress her thighs and stomach. Truthfully, the dimness reminded her of the c
A few days passed and every time Mel would try to turn the knob on his study, it’s still locked. She would pout but she never asked him directly. She asked the maids and she ascertained that he hasn’t brought another woman to bed.She didn’t do it quietly, so every time she does it, Klyde knows who exactly it was trying to barge in. At the end of that week, he made a decision. It’s not working anyway.For a while, it became a habit to Mel. Every time she goes to the kitchen to get something, she would try to turn that knob. She was surprised when she finally pushed it open again.“Oh, look.” She grinned and was feeling mischievous. She only stuck her head inside the door. Spotting Klyde on his usual spot, she greeted him loudly, in a somewhat sing-song voice.“Hello! Did you forget to lock your door today? Do you want me to lock it for you?”He’s gotten used to her tone of voice now. He gave her
Mel frowned as she stared at him.“I mean, you don’t seem heartbroken or something.”She grinned at hearing that word from him. “What do you know about being heartbroken? Oh, oh… surely you’ve been in love before, haven’t you? What happened? Why aren’t you married yet? Who’s the girl? How many girls have you fallen for?”Since he opened up this topic, she became interested. What was it like for someone like him? But as she expected, he looked annoyed again.“What? You can ask the questions but not reciprocate in answering them?” She prompted.He raised an eyebrow, “You haven’t answered yet.”“Oh…”His reminder was on point.“You’re saying you’re gonna answer after I do? Sure.”Mel changed her position on the couch and faced him, a hand on her chin. Let’s think.“I guess
As much as she wants to immediately continue their conversation, her body was hijacked by desire. He smirked at her as he approached. And then, he backed her towards the bed. His touches made her shiver and her core aching.He remained gentle with her and Mel had to actually make requests for him to be rougher. A while later, she was panting by his side. Took them a while more to recover and he actually agreed for them to talk more instead of moving on to round two. She was a little surprised. Also, it’s a little awkward when they’re both naked under the covers.The thing is, she realized now how silly the question was.“Wasn’t it fairly easy to distinguish, though?” She began.“Distinguish what?”“Didn’t you ask earlier, how do you know if you only like someone or you already love them? I doubt you don’t know have an answer to that.” She brainstormed so much earlier, just to come to
“What? Why this question?” It feels sudden.“I don’t think it’s relevant.” She continued with a chuckle, which irritated him. Seeing that familiar expression on his face, Mel was assured.“I’m just curious what interests someone like you.” He replied with indifference, though he’s fuming inside.“Can’t you tell yet? I’m sure I mentioned most of it in passing.”“Give me a summary, then.” He demanded, making her snort.“A very handsome guy.” She began with a tease.It’s his turn to roll his eyes at her. He gave her a look that says “go on”.“One who’s not after my money.” She began counting them on her fingers.“One who would treat me well. Not a creep. Not forceful.” Her expression turned dark, recalling the unpleasant experiences she recently had. He did, too.“
A few days passed and for some reason, Mel was feeling a certain discomfort. She’s not sure what it was. She was lazing in her room, when she decided to check her old email. It’s been months since she last opened it. She created a new one for work purposes, looking a bit more professional. She also abandoned her old phone number and has been using another. Anyway, there’s still social media where she remains in contact with her former classmates. She rarely checks in with their group chats and groups, though. Her username was also cringe-inducing. She never disclosed it to her co-workers. She hasn’t figured out yet how to change it to her name.The usual newsletters appeared on her screen. Huh, she used to subscribe to a lot of those. Even her primary tab is filled with them. She browsed without much thought until something caught her eye. An email marked as important. The sender’s name was familiar but she couldn’t exactly recall who it wa
“I’ll be away on a business trip. If you still don’t feel well, you should go to a hospital.”Mel simply grunted at his reminder. It’s good that he won’t be home for a few days. She could probably think of something by then. He left early and she also got up from bed. She stared at her haggard reflection for half an hour before taking a shower. She feels lazier than ever. She doesn’t feel like going to work but she wants to get out of this house. She left mid-morning in her own car.Ugh. Why is it that upon learning she’s pregnant she seemed to link her actions to it? Craving food she hasn’t tasted for a while is normal for her, so she hadn’t had a clue this way. As for being tired, wasn’t that because of work and Klyde’s demands? She groaned as she walked inside a restaurant. This one is high-end. It’s been a while since she came to one. They’ve opened just a few minutes ago. She decid
She can make the business plan at home. Maybe go out once in a while to find a good place for it. Oh, right. She’s looking forward to choosing furniture and decorations as well. She pursed her lips. She can focus on fine-tuning the details for the café, right?They were interrupted when Cedrik arrived and Lily helped him with the purchases.“Damn. I had him buy some beer and champagne. Can you drink champagne?” She hollered from the kitchen.Mel grimaced. Not too long ago, she drank quite a lot. “I’d rather not. Is there anything to make lemonade?”“Oh, yes. He bought lemons. He likes placing them in his water. I’ll make you a lemonade.”“Thank you.” She relaxed on the couch while her friend and boyfriend became busy in the kitchen. She heard Lily telling him a few things about her situation. The man didn’t have anything to say and merely nodded in understanding.
