Chapter 37

I left my stilletos near at the door, and carried Geu while my long gown was still on.

He hadn't sleep yet,and his eyes had no signs that he's sleepy.

"Mommy!" i smiled at him when i heard his happy voice upon calling me.

"Don't you want to sleep yet, baby?" i caressed his cheeks.

"Mommy! Kiss! I want kiss!" of course baby. Whatever you ask.

I gave what he asked and smiled.

"Mam, he doesn't want to sleep yet because he waited for you to come home. I even tried to make him sleep but he only cried. So i waited for you,instead." i nodded and smirked.

We walked towards my son's room as i carried him through.

He cried and cried which made me surprised.

" No! I want mommy! " i don't know how many times he said it,because i only felt like there's something on my chest when i heard it from him.

I felt like it's too much pain.

I decided to sleep him with me even for tonight.

I put him down and bent to whisper something.

"Baby, mommy will change. Stay here and wait for me. Fix your toys and i'll take you in mommy's room after. You'll gonna sleep with me tonight. Okay?" he nodded.

"Yes, mommy!" as i went inside my room, i saw him fixing his toys.

I smiled.

I immediately took my bath as fast as i could.

When i went out from my room, i saw Geu seated on the sofa while watvhing his favorite cartoon movies.

How adorable my son is, while watching him like this?

I reached him and carried.

"Clarry, i'm going to sleep Geu in my room tonight."

Clarry, immediately turned at me when she heard what i said.

"Yes,mam." she tood up and turned off the tv.

I went inside my room and landed Geu on my bed.

He's not yet even sleepy,but i want to sleep now.

I sang him a song hoping that he can get sleepy.

"Mommy's gonna sing for you baby, right?" i brushed his hair using my fingers while singing.

Nothing can defeat for being a mother.

Being with my son for tonight is priceless.

I didn't expect that even after i'm done singing, he still don't want to sleep yet.

Instead, he asked me so many things.

"Inkel" he said and opened his hand and closed it again.

"I want inkel, inkel mommy."

It's almost eleven and yet he's not sleepy.

So i sang the song that he wants me to sing and caressed his back gently.

When he finally fell asleep, my phone rang.

I almost cursed Daisy when i saw Geu moved a bit from her call.

" Dais, " i almost whispered.

I wondered, if where the hell is she right now?

I can't leave my room while Geu is here.

So kept staying inside while answering her call.

Grace didn't sleep here so..

"I need to tell you something Cath.Can we talk personally?" i sensed her trembling voice.

Fuck! What the hell is going on?

"Are you at your condo?" she added.

"Tell me what's going on Dais. And yes, i'm already here in my condo." i made my voice lower and almost a whisper to avoid making noise.

"Jhony and i, went to scarlet together with his cousins."

I frowned.

"Then?"

"We didn't know that Reige and his cousins was there too." i started to feel something strange but i let her continue.

"So?"

"It's so happened that Jhony's cousin asked me to set him a date with you. We didn't know that Reige was just behind us. And i didn' t know either if how long he's been staying behind us. He was so furious after David showed us your photo from his phone.David noticed him, the reason we caught his presence. " my heart pounding rapidly.

Dammit.

" Why did he do that? "

" He was so violent when he heard my answer before David caught him behind us. " my jaw dropped.

" What have you said then? "

" It was supposed to be a joke. But well, half a bit true-"

"Dammit Dais! Just tell me what have you told that boy? What have you answered him? Why Reige got Furious?"

"Well.. Uhm.. I agreed with his favor and promised him to set him a date with you."

What the hell?

"I'm sorry cath. But i had no choice but to tell Reige what he asked for."

I sighed.

"W-what did you exactly tell him Dais?" oh god!

I can't almost breath because of the beating fast of my freaking heart.

Dammit.

"He asked me if you're not really married,and i said yes. I don't know where he got that idea that you're not really married but i had no choice but to tell him what he wanted to hear from me because... because he threatened me! I'm sorry. He knew that you never been committed to anyone after you left. "

What the hell?

Fuck!

The following weeks, i did my job at Amdel towers smoothly.

I even got the chance to paint and had time for Geu too.

Jeoffry went to my condo often either,even though he's more busy than me.

I put down Geu on his high chair.

I am not that busy because i'm almost done with my project to Amdel tower buildings.

And Grace was leaning comfortably at the sofa in the sala.

I approached her and sat beside.

I asked Clarry to feed Geu because i need to talk to Grace for some important matters.

She already knew what Reige did last week because i told her.

Since she missed that part, i inhesitant to talked about what happened week ago.

"I think, i knew what's gonna happen for the coming days. Now that the beast found out the his princess isn't that really married."

Seeing her chuckled after she stated it, made my eyes rolled for her.

Dammit.

She even had the guts to played her lips using her index finger, like she's really sure about anything to happen.

Fuck.

" I don't mind at all, Grace. And i haven't talked to Daisuly either just to apologize what happened last week." i got a bit annoyed when i heard her chuckled after what i said.

Damn this girl.

"I thought Reige has changed. Well, maybe? He's still the same beast i've known for years. What he wants, he will surely get. By hook or by crook. He even owned you possesively even after everything.how can you believe it?" i rolled my eyes.

I don't kno how many time i gave her this kind of gestures for today, but seems like talking to Grace about this matter is pointless.

I need to change the topic and focus my intention why i need to talk to her now.

" Anyway, Are you free after three days from now? I mean i want to take you on a party." she frowned.

I don't know if she's acting or what.But i'm sure she knew about this.and sge jjst want me to say it.

"Party? Hmm, what party, then?"

A ghost of smile from her lips was very noticed.

Dammit Grace.

"Reige held a party for the successful launching of Amdel tower buildings. Since designed all the units of the towers, i gkt invitation. I need to be there. Jeoffry is busy and i don't want to bother him. And i don't want to be rude. So i accepted the invitation. I had no one to be with aside from Jeoffry, so.. You know. "

She smirked and nodded.

" Grace stop it! I'm serious. Stop giving me that look! Damn! This is for the company and not for anything! " i sighed.

Her smile made me more irritated.

" What? I didn't say anything Cath. You're just so defensive. "

She even laughed even more.

Dammit.

Oh girl, i know that look.

" Hmm, when would that be? I mean the party you mentioned? " she's asking while her mocking smile is still plastered.

" Three days from now. So obviously, that would be saturday. So, are you gonna free?" she nodded and looked at Geu.

"I still have duty on that day until five in the afternoon. And i bet the party would start probably at night. So certainly, i can with you."

That's great.

I can have someone to go on that event.

I saw her smiled and nodded.

And after, walked towards Geu to squat in front of him.

" Hi Geu! Are you ready to meet your father?" Geu frowned. And my eyes widened.

But i even heard Grace chuckled.

"Grace ann Bartolome!"

She laighed even more by my sudden spat and ran out immediately to hwr room.

What the hell?

Not too long, i asked Clarry to call Grace for a lunch.

While eating, My phone rang.

I took my phone and checked who messaged me.

The email is from unknown account.

Still, i opened and read the message.

From: cassy. Lega.@gmail.com

Hello! Good day!

To:gCathgomez. @gmail.com

Porbes park, makati?

It's just meter away from here in my condo.

There is a number which indicated below the email.

Including the house designs.

Jesus! This is not just a simple house.

This is obviously a mansion!

Fuck.

Damn.

"Cath." Grace caught my attention.

"Yes, Grace?" i glanced at her but my eyes was still on my phone.

"Who texted?" she asked while the smirk was still plastered.

"Uhm,new client." she shrugged her shoulder.

"What do you think? Uhm, do you think Reige will bring Shane in that party? I mean, you know... After he learned that you're not marrued at all? Do you think he will still pursue his engagement to Shane and bring her there on that party event?" here we go again.

I wondered how persistant she can be?

And i know she won't stop asking me about this until she won't get satisfied by my answer.

" I don't mind at all Grace. That's his business. I'm out of that. " i shook my head.

" Uh. Huh?"

I pressed the reply button for the one who message me.

From: gCathgomez@gmail.com

From:Cassy. Lega@gmail.com

Thanks for the fast reply! August 22, at sharp 7:00 pm in Espania de chocolata!

Good day!

To:gCathgomez@gmail.com

I sighed.

Thank god and she agreed.

I'm gonna accept tgis project, and well maybe accept the resthouse project, offered by Leslie and Zhian too in batangas.

This would be surely easy.

I'm happy because i had spend my free time with Geu.

And it's all that matter for me now.

"Cath, do you think Reige will confront you about you lying on him?"

Grace is not yet done asking about her random questions about Reige.

Dammit.

We're heading to the party and i chose to drive, rather than her.

"I don't know. We'll find out later." she smiled at me when i glanced at her.

I shook my head and focus my face on the road.

"Don't worry. If that happens? I am just here. I will watch over you."

I rolled my eyes for that and continued driving.

I checked my face again in the mirror before decided to get out from the car.

We immediately got out from the car as we reached the venue.

From afar, we noticed some clicks of the cameras at the intrance of the venue.

The venue is huge, but i can't deny that Reige's company is bigger and more elegant than here.

The red carpet was full of businessmen in different company owners of the country.

"Be ready for their breathtaking questions, Cathy." Grace warned.

"I'm sure they won't ask me about personal matters. Especially when it's about Reige. Everything is clear between us. And he'll get married soon. So..." i glanced at her in assurance.

Some reporters approaching us shamelessly as we start walking.

Some of them are my friends when i was still in showbiz.

I mean when i was pursuing my showbiz career here in the philippines.

And it made me comfortable to answer their questions.

"How's your relationship with Mr. Reige Del Rio, Ms. Gomez after a years? And now your working under his company as well?" Grace held my hand and sighed violently.

She seemed like my protector.

"It's fine." i smiled.

"It was stated in the headlines weeks ago that he is having an engagement party next month. This only means, that he's giving up being bachelor and settle for the next level. What can you say about this? Are you even invited?"

No i'm not.

Because i was surprised too when i heard about that thing.

My teeth gritted for the thought.

I don't fucking expect this question.

Dammit.

I don't know if i can answer it properly or not.

Shit.

" We haven't discusswd about it. But if i had the chance and i'm not busy. Then why not right? In fact, i'm hoping for the happiness of them both."

Hoping my ass.

How long will i'm going to pretend that it's fine for me?

How long will i'm going to pretend that it doesn't matter everything for me at all?

Dammit.
