Chapter 11
CHAPTER 17 • (PART 1)
I woke up with what seemed to be a heavy object resting on me. I opened my eyes to see what it was when my eyes landed on the arm resting on my waist. I turned to its owner and the handsome face of the person next to me opened up to me. Wait ... next door? I looked at it again and my eyes widened as everything sinks in.
Compassionate lizards! I'm next to Uno pogi! What miracle is this again?
How did he get here? Didn't I put it to sleep on the floor? I think Hayst was beaten again.
It sleeps peacefully. I smiled as I realized I was free to look at his handsome face. It looks so innocent, the type that can't break a plate. I examined his angelic face. Just perfect. It looks like it was carved by the best sculptor on the face of the earth. Our faces were just so close that I was tempted to kiss it.
My eyes went to his neck. Only now did I notice that it had a small mole on the right side of his neck that he was getting hotter.
"Done checking me?"
I was able to look back into his eyes and I felt so embarrassed when he caught me feasting on him. My face immediately warmed up and I was about to push him away when it stopped me.
"Stay still," he said in his hoarse voice and closed his eyes again. Want to get away from him. I didn't want him to feel the force of my chest throbbing for some inexplicable reason. It was like it was disappearing inside my rib cage and wanted to get out.
"Why did you stand next to me? You're just annoying." I joked here so as to alleviate even a little of my anxiety. I also immediately closed my mouth because I was feeling like I still had morning breath. It's embarrassing, the boss turned me off right away.
"My back hurts-"
"Jessica wake up-SUSKO MARYOSEP!"
I accidentally pushed Uno out of shock.
"Fvck!" It still screamed but I didn't notice.
I saw Manang Rita as if she had seen a ghost, she was still holding her chest pose while her eyes were widening looking at us.
Destruction of the moment. Annoying!
"Manang Rita what's the matter uhm, what's the matter," no reason came out of my mouth. I looked at Uno who was standing and didn't seem to care around him. Nyeta help me hey!
"What are you doing here baby?" He couldn't believe his question here.
"Nothing," Uno's only words. It turned poker face out of my room and ignored us. I just shrugged my shoulders because of its complacency.
I'm sure it will issue me again. Aside from Manang Rita, Frizzy was also there who approached us when she heard the old man's cry and was curious. I looked at the frowning Frizzy. Anger and disgust were written all over her face. I just stared at him, good morning. He left to follow Uno.
"Daughter, explain," I heard Manang Rita say who was beside me. I smiled at him to hide how I felt.
What can I answer ?! Uno said that others should not know this but we were caught in the act. Shall I say? Apart from the demon, only Manang Rita saw it. This manang is not gossip so it looks trustworthy.
And I told manang the lie about Uno and me. I explained to him why it was in my room and I expected his surprise.
I thought he would judge my character but I was shocked when he hugged me so tightly.
"I didn't expect my pet to have a baby," she cried.
"Aren't you angry, man?"
"And why do I inherit anger anyway? It's like Uno is my son so I support it." He said as he released me into a tight hug.
"That man is lucky for you," I smiled at him. Just laugh it off.
"Oh my daughter, you're only a month pregnant. Just don't work and just rest. You're a poor child," she said with mixed concern. I smiled at it and shook my head.
"I don't need it anymore. I can still do it," I replied. It's conscientious! I feel like I am betraying them because of this shameless lie. It's all the fault of that shiver.
Neither manang stopped me from working. He just reminded me that I would only do light work and um-yes I did to him.
I was busy watering the plants when Ate Tes told me to bring inside what she had bought. I obeyed his command.
After I did that I was back at work when I caught up with Frizzy who was sitting on the bench.
"A slut pretending to be a saint, eh?" He behaved with me. I ignored him and resumed what he was doing when he spoke again.
"Hey bitch, I'm talking to you!" It"s getting my attention. I turned to him and frowned. She gave me a bitchy smile and walked the distance between us.
"What do you want?" I was impatient to ask him. If she wants trouble, I'm sorry to disappoint her but I'm not in the mood to hit her.
"I want you out of Uno's life," it demanded. I stopped what I was doing and burst out laughing.
"And who are you to get me out of his life?" I challenged him to question.
"You're really shameless! How did you manage to attract Uno, he's just a maid! How much do you want? One million? Two? Five? I'll give you, you'll just disappear from our lives!" He directly said that I was shocked. The heck? The thickness of his foundation to bribe me.
"Excuse me? I don't need your money, I guess you're desperate," I told him as he stopped. What have I done wrong to him and does he want me out of their life? I mean, she's just Uno's cousin for heaven's sake! If he doesn't like me, then don't. Imagine who your girlfriend is. I think it really has a cousin complex.
"I love Uno."
I was shocked by the words he uttered. Huh? Is it true what I hear?
I looked at him confused because I still couldn't get what he was saying.
"I love him since we were young, since the first time I saw him. So please, don't torture me anymore." Its tearful words. I can"t believe it"s backwards. Incest she girl!
"But you're her cousin,"
"We're not blood related. Mama Feli is not my biological mother. When I first saw him, I thought he was just an arrogant punk but I was wrong. He became my knight and shining armor and promised that he won't let anyone hurt me. At first I was so happy because I was going to have a big brother but as time went on, I realized that I don't want him to be just a big brother, I want him to be the man for me. I had a motive for him but he ignored it. I continued chasing him until it filled me up and rejected me in front of many people. But love is so persistent, isn't it? I didn't give in to him until now. " I could not believe the words he uttered. The formerly cursed Frizzy became like a gentle cat. She's broken.
"You know what, I met him first, I know every single thing about him, adored him for twelve fvcking years, I can give him everything I have. But I can't believe why he chose you, a maid without even a handful of money. An ungrateful man suddenly entered the scene. " She continued.
I felt guilty. I know we just act on everything we show but I don't expect anyone to be hurt too much because of this.
"Why are you telling me this?" I'm confused question. It grabbed my two hands.
"Jessica look, I know you're not pregnant. It's impossible for an almost two months pregnant woman to be that slim. I can already see you. If you ever plan to use being pregnant just to get Uno, well, please stop it already. What if he finds out that you're just lying? What will be the reaction of his family if they find out that you're just feeding them lies? Think about the result Jessica. " His words are sincere. I suddenly felt cold.
"P-How did you know I wasn't pregnant?" I asked him nervously.
How did she know I wasn't pregnant? Is my body that obvious? Even though I know this is Uno's plan but I'm still involved. How did her Dad find out? What will his family say to me? That I used just for money? Even if Uno defends me, it is still inevitable that it will happen. I'm scared. I was afraid of what they could do.
She smiled at me, "It's not too late Jessica. You can still tell Tito Martin the truth. Here," I looked at his hand and my eyes widened when I realized what it was.
"A-What-"
"Use these as a proof that you're not pregnant," she said again and placed the three pregnancy test kits in my palm.
CHAPTER 18 • (PART 1)
I can't sleep all night. I always keep repeating in my mind what Frizzy said yesterday. It is no longer at home because it left earlier. But even before he left, he whispered something to me.
"Do the right thing Jessica, I'll leave the rest to you,"
Really like that? What if he just planned to get Uno. But he has a point! Maybe I'll just be a poor corpse when his family finds out.
I looked at the test kits I was holding with a single red stripe. Did I do it right? Am I right to betray Uno? How would he feel if he found out I was going to deviate from the plan? But because, at the very beginning, I should have said that. It's not too late, is it? This must be done so that this chaos will end. I didn't agree with this from the beginning.
How is Uno? Huh, Jessica? You agreed to help him and now you're just going to betray him? Your selfish! Panenermon is half of my brain.
Ugh! It's confusing!
🎶I met her on a Monday, evening
She was standing outside of the park and ride 🎶
I jumped when my ringtone suddenly rang. I looked at who the caller was and I was nervous when it turned out to be Uno.
"H-Hello,"
[Hey sweety, how are you doing?] Syet sweety daw! I felt the warmth of my two cheeks.
"I'm fine, why did you get called?" He had already arrived at the house, earlier. I don't know what trip it is and I can go here below, if he needs it.
[Do I need a reason to call my girlfriend?] Kinilig naman ako. Remember Jessica that's not true! Pa fall talaga 'tong gagong to.
"First of all, what is it?" I couldn"t help but smile. I can't help it! I look like I'm out of its marathon because of the fast beating of my chest.
[Hahaha okay, okay. I just want to tell you that you'll be on leave tomorrow.]
This response is laughable. My forehead frowned.
"Guess why? Am I fired from my job?" I asked him in a panic. I heard laughter on the other line so I just frowned.
[No, no, we're going somewhere tomorrow,]
What kind of gimmick is this?
"Where?" I'm still confused.
[It's a secret, goodnight sweety, sweet dreams.] For the second time, he called me sweety again.
"Goodnight," I replied here and dropped the call. I put my phone on my chest. I bit my lip because of the inexplicable feeling. Buset ka talaga Uno! Why do I always reap like this every time I talk to you?
I just smiled. I will not back down. I will join Uno in this fight no matter what else his family does when we find out. It's up to batman.
I didn't know that my core would still be able to release a shiver. How come, this poging creature just took me to a fine dining restaurant!
I've been staring at it before but I'm just holding back. Nakakahiya naman. Everyone who eats here is obviously from high society. I don't even know what this one ate and brought the flirtation like me here.
I just wore a simple dress and adjusted a bit. The woman Ella did it again. I looked at the man in front of me. Syet poging pogi niya sa suot na blue longsleeve! It's simple to get up but it's still yummy when you look at it.
"First why did you bring me here?" I asked him as my eyes sparkled because of the delicious food on the menu. But I was immediately discouraged when I saw the price.
"I just want to eat dinner with you, and besides we should act more realistic." He answered my question and called the waiter.
"Asus, you just really want me to date." I teased him and then drank the water on the table.
"What if I said yes?" I almost blew out what I was drinking because of the shock. It's like Uno, whatever they say. I raised my eyes and saw it seriously staring at me. I immediately avoided it. Don't send Jessica, it's just fall! My heart is going crazy again!
A Uno Sebastian who is hard to reach wants me to date! Is this for real? I waited for him to laugh and say he was just joking but it didn"t happen. My hair is just low.
I was so grateful when the waiter came and got Uno's attention. I immediately took a deep breath.
"What is your order ma'am?" Polite and smiling at its question. I looked at the menu for a moment and smiled back.
"Fiorentina Steak please," I ordered just one dish even though I really wanted to add more. The food here is so expensive and I'm ashamed of Uno when I dig it. Good thing I'm familiar with the Italian course and I didn't even bother to order. I miss these foods!
"Is that all?" I turned my gaze to mokong who was annoyingly smiling.
"Yes," I said and averted my gaze.
"Really?" He asked again. He really provokes me to increase the food! I had no choice but to order another dish. He insists, after all, it's free so grab the opportunity.
"Okay, you said so. A Bruschetta, Ribollita, Lasagne and Osso buco alla Milanese. Oh! Also Tiramisu for dessert." I said that almost everything was on the menu and I was just laughed at by the idiot who stared at me. The waiter was even surprised because he couldn't believe the amount I ordered. Is it my fault I ate too much? Huh?
My older waiter left without even asking about it with me. I looked at him curiously.
"Aren't you going to eat?" I asked him a confused question.
"He already knows what I want," it replied. I frowned at what it said.
"How's that? Did you use your waiter's telepathy?" I laughed jokingly at him. It just smiled at me.
"I own this place," I literally gasped at its response. Seriously? To him is it? That's why it's so pretentious and so popular with costumers. Apart from the delicious delicacies, the owner is even more yummy. Good chemistry.
The one we ordered arrived and I immediately left it. Delicious! This is probably the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life!
"Beautiful woman, buraot. Where do you put what you're eating and you're still losing weight?" Its a laughable comment to me. Wait, is he saying I'm beautiful? Enebe kenekeleg eke.
I've heard that complement a few times but it's just the strength of its effect when Uno said, there's even a mixture of insults.
"Because it's better when it's free," especially the ones who are free are also yummy. Just seven really. It just shook.
I turned to him to speak again when I caught his face so close to mine. It was only a few feet away from me and I was stunned by its blue eyes. I seem to be dumbfounded by so much nervousness. What is he doing? Will he kiss me? Why here, it's embarrassing.
I closed my eyes and waited for his lips to touch mine. My forehead frowned when he still didn't kiss me. I guess the duration. I just stared out of boredom. I immediately saw Uno's smiling face. She is carrying a handkerchief.
"You look ugly when you eat," he commented and returned to his seat. I immediately sat up straight and looked away. Tangna, I hope he didn't notice my stupidity!
"Hey, why are you blushing? Wait, did you think that I would kiss you?" It spoke and burst out laughing.
My whole face became hot and seemed to explode with embarrassment. Why did I do that ?!
CHAPTER 19 • (PART 1)
Uno said yesterday when we got home, that he would change my job. He said that I was his lunch delivery at his place of work. So here I am today and preparing lunch to take to Uno's company.
I didn't know it was there and it was as if I had a brain tumor. Just weird really. He wasn't like that before. His company building has a cafeteria and then he wants me to bring him food? Maybe he also got tired of the dishes there because he would rather eat homemade.
I covered the tupperware with a smile and then said goodbye to my colleagues. Ella, the witch's dog, just smiled at me. I just stared at him and left. 'It's inevitable to be excited because I'll see my handsome boss again. First time I can also go to his building.
I was overwhelmed by the oversized building in front of me. Not to be outdone, we also have a company but Uno actually owns a bigger one.
I went inside and went straight to the front desk. "Miss, where is Uno Sebastian's office?" I politely asked that woman with the thick eyebrows.
He raised his thick eyebrow at me. "Do you have an appointment?" Its a damn question. I was secretly irritated. This is what I hate in big companies. You are not admitted without an appointment. Like wtf? Not everyone is business oriented.
"I don't have an appointment but Uno just ordered me, here oh I brought his lunch." I told him to show me the plastic I was carrying.
The witch just laughed at me. "You don't have an appointment so you can't come in. And one more thing, Sir Sebastian has no time entertaining needy people. Just eat what you brought later when you get home." Ratsadahang word of it.
My blood boiled immediately but I just let it go. I don"t have time to scandalize here. "All right miss, just for a moment. I'll just give it to her." Please talk to me.
"I said no! You've already left." She exclaimed and pushed me. Because of the force of his push, I let go of the food I was carrying. My eyes widened and you immediately picked up the chineck if anything had been thrown away. I'm fed up with Uno! It's good and only a few were thrown away.
I don't want to cause a scandal in case I'm really disgusted with this scandal. It's food and shouldn't be eaten. I turned to him and looked bad. He just smiled and seemed to be still happy with what he did.
I immediately rushed at him and pushed him as well which caused him to sit up. "The thickness of your eyebrow to push! What if the food is thrown away huh ?! Edi, my boss will definitely scold me again! I'll really shave your eyebrow when I'm fired!" Her eyes widened and her eyebrows widened. We"ve also gotten attention and a lot of people are already curious.
"Y-You bitch! Guards! Guards! Get this intruder out!" He shouted then stood up. Immediately, two guards arrived and grabbed my arms. I struggle from their grip.
"Let me go! You ungrateful one! The thickness of your eyebrows, the more you curse! How did you get to the front desk, you're not approachable!" I shouted at him too. I saw those around me nodding and whispering. The idiot is also once this ai Uno eh, I didn't even test whether his employees were suitable in this area. Hayst
The guards forcibly dragged me away but I still struggled to stay. "Let him go of me!" I complain again. I also feel pain because of the tightness of the two of them holding me.
"What's going on here?"
I heard words of a familiar voice. Suddenly everyone fell silent and went back to their work so I looked back to where it came from. I found Uno frowning.
"Uno." I say its name. He just stared at me. I was suddenly nervous.
I looked at the witch again and it started to dramatize and pity. I'm dizzy again.
"Sir Sebastian, that woman was trying to get in. I explained to her that she couldn't because she didn't have an appointment but she suddenly pushed me." Dramatizing it caused my high blood pressure to rise.
Uno turned to me and his scary face appeared.
"Is that true?" This question to me. I was even more nervous. Buset's the witch!
"I-That's not true. You were the first to sail for me. The food I brought was almost wasted, it's just a good thing that only a few were thrown away." I'm saving myself. I also stopped struggling because I was tired.
"Liar! I didn't push you!" Its lying.
"I'm not lying! Look at the plastic I'm carrying." I said and looked at Uno. He approached it and examined it. He smirked when he saw that there was a little broth of caldereta inside the plastic. The witch turned pale.
Uno stood up and faced us. "Let her go." He ordered the guards so they let me go too. I immediately rubbed my reddened arm because it hurt slightly. It's unusual because these guards, the men of the bodies, I wish they were just bouncers. Tsk.
I raised my eyes to look at Uno who was also looking at my arm. His face darkened as if he was ready to lick. I immediately averted my gaze.
"The three of you," he said and pointed at the two guards and the witch. Fear and apprehension were evident on their faces.
"You're fired!"
I was stunned when Uno grabbed my wrist. I didn't complain anymore and just drifted away when he started walking.
We entered the elevator and he hit 18. We just kept quiet because I didn"t speak. Uno still looks in a bad mood so I'll talk to him later when we arrive.
When we entered Uno's office, I immediately rolled my eyes. Nice interior design. Obviously expensive. What do I expect? It's the CEO's office so you should just be proud.
I unloaded the carry -ons and spoke.
"Why are you firing them?"
He went to his table and took off his coat and sat in his swivel chair. There was no expression on his face as he looked at me.
"They deserved it."
I raised one eyebrow. Saklap niya ah. I walked over to the front of his table and squeezed both hands on both arms.
"You don't feel sorry for them. What about their families?" I also have a guilty conscience.
"I don't care, it's their fault."
"What I don't care? What if they can't find a job yet? Then they don't have anything to eat, it's still your fault. You really don't have a conscience." I followed him one by one.
He tsked and moved his desk around in front of me. I immediately backed away when I realized how close we were. But I was disappointed when I felt his table behind me. Dead end!
I swallowed and averted my gaze. Because it penetrates the soul if you stare, it's just disgusting.
"Do you know what they did to you?" It was an emphatic pronunciation that made my hair stand on end. What is he doing? I was nervous and I didn't know what to do! It was as if all my blood had gone to my face because it was so red. Seven packets!
"P-Personal space," I only mentioned and pushed him slightly. It didn"t shake and even more occupied the space between us. I noticed his sky -colored eyes drop to my lips.
"A-Ano ba Uno-" I couldn't finish what he was going to say as he touched both my cheeks and pressed a kiss to me. My eyes widened in shock. I immediately felt thousands of what seemed to be disappearing in my stomach. My two knees weakened for no apparent reason.
Even though my mind was dictating to me to push this man but my body was deliberately reprimanding and letting his hot lips take over me. I actually feel like I even liked this feeling.
None of my own responded to his kiss which made him sigh. I felt his tongue seeking for entrance so I gladly accepted it and let it play with mine. A soft moan escaped from my mouth.
It was as if I was drenched in cold water to hear my own growl and marealize what beast I was doing. As if on cue, I chased my breath and pushed Uno away from me with all my might. He gave me the 'what the fvck?' look so I averted my gaze.
"'Maybe it's cold," I stammered and left in front of him.
To be continued...
