I ENTERED the room, and my eyes quickly examined the patient lying on the hospital bed. "I'm Dra. Kelsea," I spoke in a clipped, professional tone.Her name is Julie. Seventeen years old. Female. Fell from the stairs."A-Ako po si Julie." She gave me a lop-sided smile. Obviously, she was in pain."May masakit ba bukod sa mga sugat mo?" I asked gently.She shook her head. "Wala naman po, doctora..."A cut slashed across the corner of her forehead, and a few scrapes on her arms and leg were evident. There's also a shadow of bruises on her lips and cheeks as if someone slapped her hard.Nurse Clara had already checked Julie's ABC's—airway, breathing, and circulation. I couldn't find any physical wounds except for the cut on her forehead and a couple of bruises, but that didn't mean she was clear. I ran through the rest of my questions before I dismissed her with Nurse Clara."All right. Rest first, and I'll order a CT scan, just in case." I said, giving her a smile.AFTER two surgeries a
IT WAS around midnight when I had the chance to get home from work. We had a long-complicated surgery today, so I came home late. Since the house is near the hospital, mabilis lang akong nakauwi sa bahay.I wasn't expecting Reeve to be awake since it was already late, but I was astonished to see him on the sofa, sitting with his laptop on his lap and a coffee mug on the Coffee table. As usual, he's wearing a navy blue muscle tee and gray sweatpants.He quickly shifted his head in my direction and I feel like I was a burglar that got caught thieving in action. His eyes flickered with an unfamiliar emotion when he saw me entering the house.I kept my face and posture relaxed despite his presence. "I didn't expect to see you awake," I uttered as I removed my shoes to switch them into my house slippers."I was waiting for you," he drawled.I quickly twisted my head at him as my stomach cramped with guilt. "Y-You waited for me?" I uttered softly.His lips quirked as his eyes turned gl
A remix of Shakira's Hips don't lie starts playing. I saw the main character for tonight sitting in the middle of a mini stage with a blindfold in her eyes. In the background was gold curtain foil, a champagne balloon, and a bride-to-be balloon. There are also dozen of balloons scattered through the mini-stage.When the blindfold released her eyes, her lips parted in suprise. "Oh my gosh! I didn't expect this! Grabe kayo!" Her eyes dwelled with tears. "Surprise, Dra. Nikki!" We all shouted in unison.I walked towards her and Dra. Nikki wrapped me in a tight hug, and I allowed myself to sink into her comforting embrace. "Kelsea, I didn't expect you to keep this secret! I know how suck you're in lying!" she resorts.I chuckled lightly as I tapped her on the back. "It's for your own sake, girl!" I resort.I went to the circular table, where I spotted Nurse Eva, and some fellow. They welcome me with warmth and respect. A waiter served us drink, and we drank as the party began."Cheers!"
"Are you two Married?"Napangiwi ako, but I still remained poised. "Well, we still need to get to know each other, Doc," I said politely.Before we can even go further with their personal questions about our status, nagpaalam na ako na uuwi na. Nagpaalam na muna ako kina Dra. Nikki at Eunice at sa iba pang doctor bago lumabas ng pub.Nang makalabas kami sa pub ay halos gawin ko ng dalawa ang hakbang ko para hindi kami magka-usap ni Reeve. I don't want to talk to him. I'm still on the verge of throwing a fist on his face because of what he said in front of my co-workers.Pero nakalimutan kong kamag-anak pala niya si Daddy long legs dahil nahabol niya kaagad ako sa parking lot. He cornered me in front of my car."So, courting stage, huh? You told them that I'm your suitor?" His voice took on a familiar cocky lilt."What do you want me to say? Gusto mo bang sabihin kong asawa kita? That you're my husband?!" Bagamat kalmado ang boses ko ay madiin 'yon.His eyes twisted with irritation and
THE combination of ground coffee, citrus, and brisk, including the rays of the sunlight striking my face, woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. Umupo ako at nagstretching pa ng bahagya."Good morning, mon amour!"Napatalon ako sa gulat at napasinghap nang makita ang lalaking laman ng panaginip ko kagabi. My dream was so weird that I couldn't look into his eyes because in my dream, we shared a mind-blowing kiss last night. It was so weird, and it felt so realistic!I felt my cheeks burn just by thinking about the kiss we shared in my dreams.He was leaning on the framedoor wearing his pajama, shirtless. Nalipat ang tingin ko sa malapad nitong balakat at ang namumutok nitong braso. The tiny stubble on his jaw looks dominating and sexy. Nang mas bumaba pa ang tingin ko sa katawan niya ay napalunok na ako dahil sa halatang umbok nito sa harapan ng kanyang pajama. I'm curious how long and thick the sword hiding inside his pajamas.I shake my head while still peeking at his crotc
THE next days were just similar set-up. I would wake up in the morning by Reeve. We will eat breakfast together then he will hand me my lunch and snacks that he prepared. After ko umalis ay doon pa lang siya aalis ng bahay. Sa gabi naman, he comes home early while I always get home late, so it's surprising that he's not here yet.Mas nauna akong umuwi sa kanya ngayon. I checked my phone to see if he texted or called me, but he didn't. Maybe he's busy at his restaurant.Mag-a-alas nuwebe y medya na kaya kumain na ako mag-isa. I cooked spaghetti meatballs with mozzarella cheese. Nasanay akong kumain na kasabay si Reeve kaya ngayon na wala siya, I suddenly felt lonely while eating.Pagkatapos kong kumain ay niligpit ko na ang mga pinagkainan ko para mahugasan na. I just put the extra spaghetti I cooked inside the fridge. Then, I went up to my room to take a night's shower and do my skincare routine. After I took a shower, I applied a sheet face mask. I took my laptop and searched for my
I went to the kitchen and reheated the spaghetti meatballs I cooked earlier. Then, I made myself a glass of milk and took two pieces of cookies in the cookie jar. Then, bumalik na ako sa kwarto.Nahigit ko ang hininga ko nang saktong pagpasok ko ay ang paglabas ni Reeve sa bathroom. This brute was only wearing white towel that covers his lower body!His muscular body was wantonly exposed, making me glued in my spot as my eyes surveyed his sinful body.Droplets of water were cascading from his hair to his face, jaw and neck down to his hard chest. Napalunok ako. He looks so hot that it makes me feel fervour."Quit staring at me if you don't want me to think that you're oggling with my body," he cockingly said when he caught me staring at him.Oh, God! Here we go again!Nagsisimula na naman siya ng panibagong bardagulan between us!I mocked him by laughing drastically. "Oggling? Are you serious? I've seen a lot of bodies, dead or alive, my dear husband." I paused and looked at him from
KINABUKASAN ay nagising ako dahil sa kung anong mabigat na bagay na nakasiksik sa'kin. I slowly opened my eyes and was caught off guard when I saw Reeve still on the bed, hugging me. His legs were caging me, and his arm wrapped around my stomach.He looks so innocent while sleeping.I took a breath and examined his face while he was peacefully sleeping. From his thick and dark eyebrows, my eyes went down to his hooded eyes. His eyelashes are thick and curly, which gives his amber orbs look mystical and eye-catcher. Natural na mapungay o parang inaantok ang mga mata niya dahil sa mga talukap nito. He has tiny stubbles on his prominent jaw, and he got an aristocratic nose. Ang mga labi naman niya ay manipis sa ibabaw habang ang sa ibaba ay makapal at natural na mapupula.The tattoos on his arm aren't big and not too many. Kung bibilangin ay nasa limang tattoo lang ang meron siya. Ang pinakamalaking tattoo niya ay ang snake tattoo niya.He looks very beautifully sinful.Huli na para maba
