"How long will you be gone?" I asked Dame while packing his clothes. Dame will be gone for a business trip in Singapore, he is opening a new branch of hotel and resort there.
"The opening will be done tomorrow then I need to observe it for one week then I have business with Mr. Camaro for three days. So I'll be gone two weeks at most." He turned to me and saw my sad face "Oh sweetheart don't be sad" he cooed "I'll always call you, text or video call." He assured me.
"It's just that I'm not used to be away for you that long. Keep safe there okay?" I said stuffing my face in his chest and inhaling his manly scent.
"I will sweetheart" he kissed the top of my head "You take care too"
A knocked on the door interrupted our moment.
"Sir Mr. Fred is here" the maid said.
"Sweetheart I have to go" he said when I didn't let him go, I shook my head "If I didn't go now I'll be late for my flight" with heavy heart I pry my hands off of him.
"Sweetheart don't be sad, I won't be long for so long you won't even notice it" he kissed my forehead and linger his lips there longer than it should, then he proceed to kiss my nose then both my cheeks before he landed onto my lips. I answered his kiss. He broke the kiss when we couldn't breathe. We were chasing the air when we broke apart. He smiled at me and returned it with my shaky smile.
"See you in two weeks"
"See you" he pecked my lips one more time and turn away. The maids carry his things down to the car. I can hear his voice telling his secretary to go.
I didn't do good in goodbyes hence me not walking him to his car.
Children's laughter filled the air, Gavin and Grace are playing tag in the white sand together with Ace, Arnie's son, my older sister.
Today is a family day, my older sister planned a random family day. We were only nine but it's okay. Arnie is with her husband and two kids, Ace which is five years old and little Macy, two years old. It's cute that their names sounded like for twins, Axel Ace and Alex Mace. Arnie always dream of having twins but unfortunately it didn't happen so she settled with the names. His husband, Clemond, is supportive and just give in to what my sister wants.
Hans brought his family too. Gavin and Grace had grown in short time, they also learn fast. Gavin knew how to count numbers one to fifty while Grace knew how to write the alphabet. They were planning to send the kids to school next school year.
"Princess when will your husband return?" Hans asked while flipping the barbeque.
"Kuya don't call me princess anymore, I'm too old for that." I whined "He should be back next next day, he said he caught up in some business talks".
"When will you have a baby, you're married for like two or three years and before that you are in relationship for how many years?" Arnie asked while giving the empty feeding bottle to her husband, little Macy sitting in content in her lap.
"Ate we're still young, there's a lot of time, besides we're not yet ready to have kids. And Dame said that he wants my attention all to him before the children stole it."
"But--" she was cut off by her husband. Clemond gently took the hand of my sister in his and rub the back of her hand with his thumb.
"Hon let them be, she's right she is still young, she must spend her time travelling or going our without a child to worry for" he said gently.
Our small talk was cut when Rose appeared from the villa, she looks pale. Hans immediately attend to his wife.
"Love are you okay?" Hans questioned worriedly, guiding his wife to the chair beside me. I handed her a glass of water which she drank immediately. "Tell me what's wrong"
Rose shook his head "I'm fine, just a little bit of dizzy, and I threw up before I got here" Hans placed his hand on her forehead and neck.
"You don't feel hot, are you sure you're okay? You can go rest or I can get you medicine for your nausea"
"I'm fine, I'm not sleepy anymore besides I don't want to ruin the day."
"Hey it's okay, you can go rest, we don't mind" I said she decline the offer and ate a piece of banana.
"The food will be done in few minutes, call the kids and let them clean up" Hans said.
I volunteered to help the kids. They dried themselves and wash their hands. I apply sunblock on their skin again.
The food was delicious as expected and we spent the day talking while the kids are playing.
"Someone needs their afternoon nap" Arnie pointed out as little Macy became rowdy. "I'll just put her to bed"
The kids immediately fall asleep that night, they were all exhausted from playing and swimming. Hans needed to carry the twins back into the villa.
The moonlight shine brightly above, I was at the balcony enjoying the cold breeze of the night and the sound of the wave, everyone was asleep except me. I can't sleep for some reason.
Memories came crashing to my mind, the peaceful surrounding soothing me. I remembered the first time I got jealous, that's when I saw Dame kissing with another girl. We weren't yet together that time but I got so angry with him. I ignore him for days 'til he got fed up and confront me, I unintentionally blurt out my feelings for him, telling him I love him and I didn't like seeing him with another girl. I chuckled remembering my pathetic look that day, I was bawling my eyes out, screaming at him but when he wrapped his arms around me, I was a goner, my screams turned to whimpers and I sobbed at his chest. He rubbed my back whispering comforting words. He also confessed that day telling me what he feels, he bared his soul to me. And in that day we became together. He asked me if I want to be his girlfriend and I said yes.
I sighed.
