C23 Chapter 22

"Good afternoon, Ma'am!" Kuya guard greeted me when I entered the lobby. I smiled at him and then greeted him. The guards on duty here already know me, because I used to hang out here every day.

I kept walking to the elevator and then I pressed the button to stop at my upper ground floor where I was but it looked like it was going down, because it stopped at the ground floor, but there were many people on board, but before the elevator door finally closed, my eyes were fixed on two people facing each other and just staring at each other. Immediately my heart beat faster for a reason I don't understand.

"Maybe I'm just rolling my eyes." I said to myself but it seems like my force is pulling me to go to the lower ground floor and confirm if what I saw is true or not. I immediately went straight to my left side of the lobby where there is a hallway that connects the upper and lower round floor but you only have to use the stairs.

I hurried down and the elevator opened just in time, people came out one by one while I hid my whole body here in my existence door but my head peeked out to see the people coming out. I hardly blinked anymore. Until the two people I was waiting for came out.

One of baby Trigger's arms was wrapped around Ciffer's waist and together they walked towards the pick-up truck that we used this morning for star gazing.

Nope. I'm not just turning my eyes, I know what I'm seeing now. I am sure of what I see now. I'm sure I'm not imagining it now. Absolutely! Until baby Trigger opened the door for Ciffer and then he helped him inside the car. It even took a second or maybe three minutes for baby Trigger to enter half of his body where Ciffer was sitting. I don't know if he fixed Ciffer's seatbelt or maybe I made them different? What? did they kiss?

I didn't even notice that I had left the cake box I bought. Baby Trigger smiled and closed the door of the shot gun seat and then turned around to the driver's seat. Until his car left the parking lot, while I slowly sat down where I was standing.

What's up with Cipher and baby Trigger? Why do they look so close? There is something I don't know that Ciffer isn't telling me! This is how I felt the first time baby Trigger and I were together, my mistake. My mistake!

"Your son is quiet again." Mom said to me and then she held the hand that was resting on my thighs. I turned to look at him and then tried to smile but ended up just grimacing.

"Sorry Mom, just stressed at work." I answered him and then I sighed because of my lie. Mom was here in the hospital for a month and there wasn't a day that she didn't charge me with her hospital bill and insisted on letting her out but I didn't agree.

He's not that good yet, but he's better now because he can walk around, was able to leave his room and sunbathe. Unlike his first two weeks here, he was really only inside his room.

I also told him that I work in a small company, as an office clerk and I take the money to pay his hospital bill from my government loans. It's good and it looks like he believed because he didn't ask any more questions.

It was as if I told him that I agreed to be Trigger Steinfield's bed warmer in exchange for the four million pesos and that is used to pay his bills. Maybe Mom's illness will get worse.

A month has passed since I became baby Trigger's bed warmer. So far nothing has changed between us, I mean his rules. He comes home from the mansion at night, he often goes directly to my room when we are done with what we have to do at night, such as eating and whatnot, and then of course, we do what we do until we fall asleep, in the morning still the same.

It's just that sometimes we can't get quicky anymore because he has early meeting schedules. He told me that it was a quick call when we were doing things in the morning. If you say hello to Ciffer and I's friendship, that's okay. Nothing has changed, he even invited me to his fashion show this weekend. Five days from now.

But what I saw then has not disappeared from my mind. Ciffer and baby Trigger together, who looked like a couple that day. I didn't ask Ciffer what they had, because I was afraid of his answer. I can no longer trust his answer to me. I wish I could get the answer myself.

Today was supposed to be my appointment to inject birth control at Doctor Santa Maria, Miss Amara is not there because she is busy with meetings with Trigger. Because the Steinfield Corporation has an expansion of a hotel in Dubai, Miss Amara and Trigger have been out of town for weeks in a row.

Trigger. sigh I do not know. I'm not sure if I'm just bitter but I'm not because after I saw Ciffer and Trigger in the parking lot at that time, I kind of lost the desire to call Trigger 'baby'. I just thought about it - or it's better to say that I came to my senses.

I don't own Trigger. Yes, and we have become quite close to each other in the past month we have been together.

He already knows that I'm allergic to shrimp, that's why when he suddenly takes me out to eat lunch - well, that's all he's asking me out on a date for lunch, but that's better than nothing, right? - he no longer orders shrimps which I also found out is his favorite food.
