Chapter 21: Meet Me Halfway
My Sunday morning was quite the roller coaster ride and thankfully, it ended with a climactic finale—if you know what I mean. Blake was still panting from our makeup rendezvous, while I was reeling from the intensity of it.
"That was...different," I fail to describe what just happened.
"I know, right? I didn't know we had it in us," he replied with a chuckle of disbelief.
He stretched his arm and directed me to come closer to him. "You know what, come to think of it, I now understand how we ended up pregnant," I joked.
"Ha! Very fun!" He mustered. "So, Maddy..." Blake's tone shifted. Oh, crap. I'm not ready to handle reality just yet. "Blake, please. Not yet." I stopped him before we ruin the moment.
"Fine. I won't put too much pressure on you. Basically, we'll continue what we're doing, just with a child on the way," he summed up.

Casual Turned Special Chapter 2: The Morning After
I woke up to a slight tapping of a hand on my face."Maddy? Maddy?"Blake whispered."What?" I groggily answered."I have to go," guilt is written all over his face. I slightly opened my eyes a little more and my brows furrowed Why does he always act this way every time he has to leave me in the morning? This guy can be so sweet sometimes."You always do that," I act as if I'm mad, just to mess with him, pouting my lips. "Come on, don't be like that," he touches the curve of my waist above the cover. I giggled, "I'm kidding. You're so gullible sometimes, you know?""Because you're always mean to me!" He laughed, showing his full white set of teeth. Opening my eyes further, I assessed

For her, “our relationship” will likely end with us hurting each other, or with Blake and I falling in love.She kept on telling me to watch Justin Timberlake’s movie, "Friends with Benefits," and Anne Hathaway's "Love and Other Drugs," as a reference but I refused to.I don’t want to put any other ideas in my head. I don’t want to confuse myself with things that will only complicate my life, not anymore. I like what I have as of the moment. I like what Blake and I share. It’s simple. I do

Blake can be closed off too, just like me. But he's closer to his emotions than I am. He may not be doing it on purpose, but he does wear his heart on his sleeve.Wanting to know more about his past, I started asking questions."Hey, you never told me how your parents took the whole fiasco." Blake giggled silently, moved his eyes, and focus on his feet, as he recalled his parents' reaction to his fiancee cheating on him.He let out a heavy sigh and started telling the story, "Of course, they were mad. Their reputation, name, and son were disgraced. They loved Bianca like their own. They were as hurt as I was.""Well, you were sleeping with her. Your pain was definitely way deeper than theirs," I failed at making a snarky r

Casual Turned Special Chapter 6: EX Encounter
I've been avoiding Blake for a week now.I can't explain why I'm feeling different towards him. I have a theory in mind but I still refuse to entertain such a thought. I can't let my feelings ruin what we have. I can't let feelings ruin me ever again.It's Saturday and I'm currently at a baking class. Blake has texted me five times today about my whereabouts. Not texting him back has been eating my conscience. Maybe he just needs some company after being at his parents' house for two weeks.

We ended up having our order for take-out.Blake wanted us to hang out in his apartment instead.
