Secret Seduction | [R-18]

Chapter Forty One

Lumipas ang ilang buwan na hindi ko namalayan. Malapit na mag one year old yung kambal. Tita Antoinette kept her word and disappeared in our way like a bubble. Hindi rin ako pala labas kaya hindi na ako nasama sa ilang engkwentro.

Justin did what he said and acted professional around me and the kids. Hindi ko pa rin alam kung ano'ng atraso ko sakanya. Siguro nakalimutan na niya, pero gusto ko pa rin alamin dahil ayoko namang maging panghabang buhay kaminh formal sa isa't isa. We are parents but that doesn't mean we can't be friends.

"Good morning, love." kinarga ko si Margaux at hinalikan sa tyan. Good morning, pero pero alas dos na ng tanghali. They kept me up till four, wanting play with me.

[Good morning!]

Masayang bati ni Louie habang nagsa skype kami. Kakauwi lang niya galing school at naghahapunan na siya. This has been a routine for the both of us. In bring my phone everywhere.

[Ops, I hear the other one.]

I giggled as I picked Mason up, as well. "Gising ka na rin?" Keeping them on schedule is the best thing that I ever did. Marunong na silang umupo pati na rin gumapang. It's getting crazy, actually.

Naglalaro kaming tatlo sa nursery nang may narinig akong kumatok. I excused myself and quickly ran out to open the door.

"It's me." coach excitedly said as she brought food to the countertop. Naglabas muna siya ng alcohol at nagspray sa kamay bago dumiretso sa kwarto ng mga bata.

"Wow, gising na! Namiss ko kayo, pati ikaw, ikaw rin, oo ikaw rin, Mason." sabi niya at hinalikan yung kambal ng papalit palit. Matagal na rin siyang hindi nakapunta dahil na busy siya. We spent Christmas on their house and the last time we saw her was March, when Louie and I celebrated our one year anniversary. It was a little sad that we weren't together but he promised he'd take me out when he comes home for summer. Naki third wheel siya saamin ni Louie habang nag dinner skype date kami.

[Good afternoon po, tita.]

"Oh, ikaw pala Louie. Kamusta? Lunch date naman?" patawa ni coach dahil nakita niyang kumakain si Louie. Masaya ako na pareho siyang mabait kay Louie at Justin. She respected my decision to be with the man who wasn't the father of my kids.

Nagkwentuhan kami sandali nang lumabas sandali si coach para mag banyo.

[It's good that she visited. You could use some help.]

"Well, Justin comes here a lot. Which reminds me pala," I paused as I tried to take Mason's hand out of my mouth, "Graduation nila bukas. That's why I asked coach to babysit."

[Oh, damn. Graduation? It was like yesterday when they grilled me at your house for hanging out with Natalie.]

I smiled as I reminded myself of that day. Nakita nila sa pictures ng camping na magkausap si Louie sa likod.

"That's right. Yun yung araw na hinalikan mo 'ko." I teased and avoided the screen because I was shy. I heard him scoff,
