Edmond Santos
I sigh. I can’t believe I even stalk her in her house. I followed her secretly. Someone suddenly runs in her arms after a middle aged woman opens the gate. It was a little boy.
“Is that the kid?”-I mumbled to myself. From this direction I can clearly see his face. I feel like I am facing my three year old version. And this feeling…
It took me a couple of days to face her again after I saw that kid. She is surprised to see me waiting outside the restaurant.
“Mr. Santos…what are you doing here?”
“Let’s talk, Ms. Cleo.”-I said. I open the car door and she enters. She is surprised when we stop on my house. The backdoor of the bar is the entrance of my house. I serve some coffee.
“Tell me now, I have to go home early. Is this about the internship progress of Amellie? Well, she’s doing great. Her cooking skills fits in her grading remarks in every semester.”-she said.
“You have a smudge of cake in your lower lip.”
I lied. She is trying to take them off but she can’t see a mark in her finger. I went beside her and acting like I’m going to help her. But I push her down and held her hand above her head. Before she can be able to ask questions, I kissed her. She is pushing me but I end up biting her lower lip. That kiss, the sweetness, the sensations! It was really familiar. Just like the night we shared in my bed in this house. I look at her.
“Who really are you?”-I said.
“Let go of me! I am not giving you a permission to do it again! I am done! Twice is already enough!”
“Twice? What do you mean by twice? Answer me!”
“No. Let me go. I wanna go home.”-she said. I carry her like a sack of rice and kick my rooms door. I threw her to bed. She steps back.
“Your not stepping out of this house if you won’t answer my questions. Now, what did you mean by twice?”-I said and pressed her hands on the headboard. She trying to free herself.
“I am won’t answering you. Just let me go. Let me go!”-she keeps on asking that.
“I said I won’t. The last time I check I only did that once when I’m drunk 8 days ago.”-I said. She just give me a death glare as tears fall down to her cheeks. I suddenly feel bad. I’m…
“I need to go home. I have no time to be your sex partner.”-she said between her sobs.
“Sex partner?”-I said. Is this what she thinks why I ask her here. I wipe off her tears.
“I’m not making women cry. I don’t have plans to do that. I’m not asking for forgiveness for that time. Actually…I enjoyed it.”-I said.
Sam Cleo
I didn’t realized that he drags me in his home for his reasons. I was cornered. I am really afraid to be in touched with him. He is the father of my son!
“I told you, I’m not interested to be your lustful companion.”-I said. But he didn’t answer. He kissed me again. How can’t I resist him? Maybe because he is the only man who took my virginity, the only man whom I made love with. Is that the reasons?
“But you’re not resisting.”-he said in a husky voice. He takes off my underwear and lifted my dress. I didn’t answer because I do. He takes off his clothes and I can see his nakedness. His readiness. He undresses me next and his mouth suck that one taut nipple. I do realize now. I feel in love with him, over those years even we meet for a single night. Because I can see his face to our son. I moaned and drew my hands in his hair.
“Edmond…”-I said in a loud moaned. His warm palm move lower and starts to play with my clitoris. And he spreads my legs later and his tongue starts to search down there. I can’t stop the heat and the pleasure I felt from his touch.
“I want in.”-he mumbled in my ears. He licks my earlobe and his manhood starts to get deeper inside me. That familiar thickness, the warmth and his scent. They reminds me the nights we shared.
“That’s you.”-he said. I don’t get his words and before I can be able to ask him, he starts to penetrate and thrust inside me. The moans filled his room as he stares on me with a different gaze. Full of desire, ecstasy and pleasure.
“Edmond Im–!”
“Sam, ahh!”-he said. He bursts them inside and he slowly lay me to bed. He didn’t take it off. Instead, he just take a few minutes. He started again. I feel like he is trying to prove something.
“Do you want to go inside? I bet mom is waiting for me.”-I said. I am hoping he wanted to show himself to my mother. He didn’t answer but he walks in and followed me home.
“Mom, I’m home. I’m sorry if–”
“Mommy! You’re home. Who is–daddy? It’s daddy!”
He looks at him. My mom also drops the remote when he sees him. The truth is, I took a picture of him sleeping and even in a business magazine. I told mom that he is the father. I didn’t hide them what happen in Germany. And I also lied to my son saying that he’s father is a soldier working abroad. He runs to him and hug his feet.
“Daniel, sweetie. Uhm…”-I said. He lowers his face and lift him up. He carries him.
“You’re a good boy, right? Your waiting for mom to be home.”-he said. He ends up making him sleep. We face mom and explains everything even his reasons.
Amellie Cruz
I cleared my throat. We will be presenting our ideas today. She is now standing in front of us with a confident. But I will still present my ideas.
“One of the biggest platform in virtual world are Instagram and Facebook. We can communicate to the teams behind these social media platforms. Almost 50% are more updated with the news using their social media platforms instead of watching news in televisions as a source of information.”
“As you can see, they can skip the ads in every videos or ignored them that’s why we need to made a good thumbnail for them to be able to give an attention and answered our survey. This also a way for the vloggers, bloggers and streamers to gain money for their content. So Ethan, it can be showed in this presentation that this era, the digital world is the best option to reach out on marketing world. To our consumers.”-she said.
“Very good Ms. Locke. Your presentation sets the importance of this new era. I’ll take your suggestion. Mrs. Andrews, your next.”-he said. I gulp. Should I? He already approved her project.
“Go now, you can do it.”-my workmate said. I nodded and took my flashdrives. I started to fixed my presentation.
“Good morning everyone.”
“Good morning.”-they said. I can see her mocking smile but I took that as a challenge.
“We all know that digital world are indeed powerful nowadays and it will be great to take reviews from our consumers. But–we can also consider using the paper and television platforms. We know that the generations changed as time goes by but we need to remember that our consumers are all ages. And we need to consider how we can reach them out.”
“The more platforms we used, the more we can expect buyers to gain their trust and considered to buy our products. Our products are can attract parents, teenagers, grandparents and middle-aged people to buy these as gifts for their love ones.”
“The more platforms we can reach to them will surely help us our sales to strike in a good start. We all know that most of the buyers can be the young adults to adults because this is the stage where they are active and conscious in building relationships and start to think about settling down. Our greatest concern should be the price range in every nation. The status of our consumer. Here’s are the economic status that I have researched. The raw materials of our product can be found in these countries and exportation won’t be our biggest problem.”-I said.
“Wait, the higher the price, the better. It will give a good feedback for the product.”-Tyra.
“Yes. That was true, but remember that our product is just a want. Unlike the food products that is a necessity, we should level our price in every status of the society. Our greatest concern is how we can make an ad that will show the importance of the message of the person who will use our product as a gift.”
“I knew that love is priceless, it’s the thoughts that counts. The scent will also prove the intention, the care and the emotion we give to our love ones. That’s what gifts is. It’s not the money that will make people smile sincerely. It’s the fact that the one who gives it are true to his/her intention.”
“Exactly, our product is not just aiming for money. It is a fragrance that shows love.”-Diana.
“And love is immeasurable. Love is infinite and feelings that relays most of our beauty. What do you thin, Sir Ethan?”-I said. He smiled.
“Whoa, my wife is really an exceptional woman. I like both of the proposals. Diana and Tyra, you will be concentrating in approaching the online world. Love, you will be assigned for the commercial campaign, you will help her Kim. And the rest will take care of the results for the survey and take care for the pre-product launch. Give me the results for the first week of the trial. Good job everyone. You may go back to your post. Love, stay here. I need to talk to you with several matters.”
“Okay.”-I said.
“No problem Sir Ethan. Tyra and I will take care of her idea. We will do our best.”-Diana. She looks mad.
“We will also do our best Sir Ethan.”-he said.
“We’ll go ahead then, Sir.”-they said. When everyone leaves, he suddenly turn my swivel chair and made face him. He place his hands on the arms of the chair. He smiled and move his face closer. I use the pen to stop him.
“No PDA inside the office, remember?”
“I’m the boss here. I can do whatever I want.”
“Tss. Such a pain in the neck. Stop teasing me. I have things to do. I need to think about the commercial, remember?”
“Thank you. You never let her ruined your confident. I’m sorry if I made you feel bad. I knew you we’re a bit disappointed when I agreed to use her idea.”
“Oh that? It is written all over my face right? Do I look that terrible?”-I ask.
“Silly.”-he said and caress my nose. I pouted.
“Thank you, for the trust. I promise I won’t break them and I’ll do my best.”-I said. He move closer and I feel his warm lips on mine. I kiss him back.
“That’s the spirit, love. Show them your skills. Just ask me when you need help, okay?”
“Uhm!”-I said. He pets me and I can’t stop myself not to fall deeper to my so-called brother.
