The Stepsisters

40-I love you

-Steff P.O.V.-

I

was left alone again. I've been staying here for almost a month. I really missed Jared but I haven't heard from him. Wala ring nabanggit sa akin sina Clark at Angelie.
I look up to the ceiling as I woke up. I wake, take shower, cook, eat, and stay in the house for the day. That's my daily routine. Paminsan-minsan lumalabas ako but all I got was bitterness. Naiinis ako sa mga couple na nakikita ko. And one more thing I'm sick. I easily get dizzy and sometimes I vomit.

*BAM*

Napaupo ako sa narinig. What the heck! Don't tell pinasok ako ng magnanakaw. But how? Agad akong bumaba saka hinanap ang pinanggalingan ng tunog. Napatingin ako sa lalaking nakatalikod habang tahimik na sinara ang pinto. My heart start beating so fast. He stands so familiar. I'm not dreaming right? It's him. He gasped the moment he face my way. Without thinking I run to him ang jump for a hug. Mabuti na lang at nasalo niya ako.

"Hey be careful."

"I missed you!"

And my tears start to flow. My God! I really missed him. His masculine scent and his hugs.

"I missed you too babe."

He hug me tight too. I can't stop my tears on flowing. If this is a dream I don't want to wake up. I look at him and hold his face.

"I'm not dreaming right?"

"Of course babe."

He then claim my lips. Shit! I really miss all of him. He start to walk while carrying me. He never broke the kiss. Until he slowly bend down and lay me on a bed. We both gasping for air when our lips parted. He looked at me as he touch my face.

"You don't know how much I miss you babe. I'm going crazy without seeing you."

"I do really miss you too Jared."

"I love you Steff."

"I love you too Jared."

He smiled before kissing me again. And right now I don't want to be anywhere but only his arms. It's only him who let me feel that I really belong to him.

-Jared P.O.V-

I looked at Steff. We're both naked lying on the bed. God knows how much I miss this girl. I hold her and on my chest and entertwined with mine.

"Kelan ka pa bumalik Jared?"

"I never left babe. I can't leave my girl behind."

"But why you didn't call me?"

"I'm sorry. It takes time for me to completely sink in with your confession."

"I miss you so much Jared. I'm glad your back."

She look at me. I give her a kiss and smiled. She's playing my hand with hers.

"Jared?"

"Yes babe?"

"I hate you."

I smiled. Ngumiti din siya saka sumiksik sa leeg ko. Tss! She really love burying herself on me.

"You sure you hate me babe?"

"Yeah! I hate you because I love you."

"I love you too babe."

It's so overwhelming hearing those words from her. I've been dreaming for this moment to come. And right now it's so unbelievable. It feel so right being with her. With the girl I love the most.
Later that afternoon I prepare our lunch. I wake her up and we ate. Nakaupo ako ng makita siyang nakatayo sa hagdan habang mahigpit na nakahawak rito.

"Babe are you fine?"

"Yeah! I'm just dizzy again."

"You sure? You look pale."

"I think so."

"Steff!"

She passed out. Mabuti na lang at agad ko siyang nasalo. I carried her to the room and call our old family doctor.

"How is she doc?"

"She's all good Jared."

"But why did she passed out?"

"I suggest you should take her to the hospital for check ups."

"Maybe tomorrow doc. Thanks a lot."

"Your welcome Jared. I have to go."

Pagkaalis niya ay agad kong binalikan si Steff. I just hope you will be fine babe. I kissed her on the forehead and lay beside her.

.......

She's holding my hand nervously as we wait for results. She take some test after the nurse interview her. Napatingin kami sa doctor na pumasok. I squezze her hand for assurance. I know what she's being afraid of. Takot siyang matulad sa Mommy niya.

"How is it doc?"

" You guys shouldn't worry. Your perfectly healthy Miss Xavier."

"But why I feel so sick?"

"It's just normal Miss Xavier."

"Normal? What do you mean doc?"

Napa isip ako. Is it possible that she is pregnant? I look at her. Curiousity written all over face.

"Congratulation Miss Xavier. Your 8 weeks pregnant."

"I'm pregnant?"

"Yes Miss Xavier. So you shouldn't be worry."

She look at me on her teary eyes. I smiled and wipe away the tear that falls down.

"I'm having our baby Jared."

"Yeah!"

She hug me tight. Nagpaalam na kami saka umuwi. We also planned to tell our parents about her pregnancy when we're back to Manila.
Pareho na kaming nakahiga ngayon sa kama. I slipped my hand on her shirt and touch her tummy.

"Babe?"

"Yes?"

"I love you. I love you both."

"I love you too Jared."

And we kissed. I'm so happy that I made the right choice. I glad that I don't really gave up. She is the most precious thing happened in my life. And now that she's carrying our baby I'm the most happy person now.

"Thanks for loving me spoiled brat."

"I hate you jerk-asshole-stupid boyfriend."

I smiled. She just giggled and bury her face again on my neck. I can't ask for anything now. My life is complete. Being with her is like living on a dream. And I know she feel the same too. A chapter of our life was done. But I know that an another one is coming. And we will both face it together with our baby. We will facing it hand in hand with love and faith.

The end.........
