C49 Chapter 48
Yes! It's obvious, right? I wouldn't be here if... if I didn't love him anymore, right? My shoulder went limp causing it to fall and then I tiredly looked at Trigger.
This man who is in my bed now even though he just takes it for granted, even though he only thought of me as a bedwarmer before and now he is a woman he accidentally gave birth to, even knowing that he will never love me because for sure he thinks of me as a dirty woman, I still really love him. Even though I'm hurt because of Ciffer's past until now. There is no doubt, I still love this little girl very much. Sigh. I met his gaze and then I smiled sadly at him.
"Is it still my choice? I miss Mama so much, I'm still worried about her." He brought his body closer to mine and then he slowly brought his face to my face and then felt his soft lips on mine.
My heart is beating very fast. I was restless and I was about to throw up rainbows when I felt his lips slowly move against mine when I was about to answer his kisses, he slowly pulled away from our kiss. I was going to chase his lips but he kissed me on the forehead so I was glued to my seat.
He reached for the marriage contract that was on my bedside table and then he took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket and handed it to me but I didn't immediately reach it. My gaze shifted from him to the paper and to the shaking hands slowly when he reached for the paper and ballpoint pen. My breathing quickened and I was restless. Shall I sign or shall I sign? But I don't have a choice! Mama or Cipher? My mind still asks me. I bit my lower lip. I automatically answered to myself if I was asked - is that still being asked?
I would like to ask him about Ciffer's role in them, but I don't know if there is something stopping me from asking about his role in them. The baby is moving inside my tummy and I can't concentrate. Add Trigger's good looks. Geez!
I closed my eyes tightly and then I signed the marriage contract. I was even surprised and blinked a few more times to see if Trigger was smiling at me as I handed him the paper. He put it on the bed not far from us and then he put our foreheads together and said –
"Finally, you, I and baby are now a real family." I could really hear the joy in his voice when he said that. I don't know what I should answer to what he said. Wait – did he really say that? Maybe it's all just a dream?
"Seńyorita wake up please. Seńyorita." I felt the gentle shaking of my body causing me to slowly wake up but I didn't open my eyes.
"Seńyorita, please wake up. Seńyorito's deadline is only one hour and I will be really upset if we are not downstairs after an hour." Wait, is that Maddie? He's loud! I slowly opened my eyes and saw Maddie facing me and sitting sideways. It was as if he could breathe a sigh of relief when I finally woke up.
"Good morning Seńyorita." He happily told me that it was like magic that suddenly his worries disappeared.
"It's good that you woke up Seńyorita a while ago Seńyorito was waiting for you downstairs. I also prepared your bath and then I also chose clothes for you to wear. I just couldn't decide which of the two so I took they are the same." He told me one after the other.
"Are Trigger and I going for a morning walk again? Wait – what time is it?" I asked him. He smiled at me and then he answered my questions.
"Seven AM." And then he shook his head. "It looks like you and Seńyorito can take a morning walk, Seńyorita. It's shady." It's good, I'm still sleepy!
"Wait Seńyorita what are you doing?" He panicked when he saw me pushing the blanket again.
"Eh... because Trigger and I don't go for a morning walk and then I'm still sleepy." I answered him and then I completely threw the blanket.
"Waahh! Seńyorita, please don't go to sleep. Seńyorito and I won't go for a morning walk, but it looks like you're going back to the city." Now I'm the one who's out of time.
"Just take it easy, Seńyorita, maybe you and your baby will catch up." Maddie told me right away. He even supported me to lean against the headboard of my bed. I smiled at him as a thank you. I still couldn't believe that we were going back to Trigger's city so I asked him again.
"Is it true that we are going back to the city? How did you know?" He avoided looking at me but he still answered me.
"Please Seńyorita don't report me to Manang huh? For sure he will pinch my groin when he finds out that I listened to Seńyorito's conversation, but I promise I didn't mean to listen! I was just going to bring the eggs into the kitchen just in case they were talking about it.
I just stayed because I thought it was just a moment, but their conversation went on for so long that I could almost hear it." And then she scratched the back of her neck. Maddie is really so innocent that I can't help but smile. She's so cute.
"Yes, and you didn't do it on purpose, so that's okay." I comfort him. He nodded and then he smiled at me again.
"That's what I heard when Seńyorito said that you are going back to the city today." He told me sadly. He even took both hands to hold them. "Even if we've been together for a while, Seńyorita, I really like you.
