ASHLEY NICOLE AMORES
I woke up still feeling the pain, his presence lingering within me. I moved away, biting my lip and clutching the sheets, tears welling up. I was so angry.
He'd slept soundly, while I was left to deal with the pain, and all because he was handsome and muscular. He'd taken my virginity, and I resented him for it.
I soaked in the bathtub for a while, hoping the hot water would ease the ache. Then, I heard a knock. It was Zandro. He asked if I was mad at him.
I said I was fine, but he insisted on coming in. He walked right into the bathroom, where I was still in the tub.
"Why are you... what are you doing?" I exclaimed.
"Let me join you," he said. I was annoyed, but he was already getting in.
"Zandro, stop! You're going to kill me!" I shouted.
"Relax, wife. I won't do anything," he said, pulling me into a hug. I felt his body press against me, and I glared at him.
"Fine, fine," he said, moving away.
"Why are you so big? I almost ran out of breath," I said, half-joking as I washed myself. He started laughing.
"What's so funny?" I asked, annoyed.
"Nothing. You're so cute, wife," he said. I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't help but smile a little.
After a while, we got out of the tub. He carried me back to the bedroom and offered to dress me, but I refused. He was persistent, but I managed to get him to back off.
A week passed. I stayed at home, while he worked. I decided to make him his favorite dish - adobo.
ZANDRO LIMUEL MOONROI
I was in my office when someone entered. I looked at her, but didn't say anything.
"You miss me, babe," she said. It was Triana.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, coldly. She sat on my lap. I didn't understand what she was up to.
"Oh, come on. Pretend you don't know," she said.
"I don't," I said.
"What are we always doing?" she asked. I pushed her off my lap. She landed with a thud.
"Ouch! What was that for?" she whined.
"Get out, Althea. Forget it," I said. I was only using her to pass the time. She was just a... a b!tch.
"Why are you like this to me, Zandro?" she asked. I just glared at her.
"Oh, I know. It's because of that girl. You have bad taste, Zandro," she said.
"Get out, Althea, before I do something bad to you," I shouted. She stormed out.

I heard a car horn. I knew it was Zandro. I opened the door, and there he was.
"Good morning, wife," he said, kissing my forehead.
"Good morning, cold man," I said.
"Let's eat. I cooked for you," I said.
"Hm... let's go," he said. We went to the table.
"Adobo!" he exclaimed.
"Yes," I said.
"It's my favorite," he said.
"I know," I said. We started eating. After we were done, we went to the bedroom. He insisted on helping me get ready for bed, but I managed to get him to leave me alone.
I woke up at 5:00 AM. I got ready and went downstairs. Rosco was still asleep. I was used to making breakfast for him before he left for work, so I woke up early.
When I finished cooking breakfast, I called him.
"Wake up. You'll be late if you don't get up," I said.
"Ahmmm," he mumbled, getting up. He was so handsome.
"Morning, wife," he said sleepily.
"Let's eat," I said. He nodded and went to the bathroom. I went downstairs, and he followed a few minutes later, dressed in his business attire.
He sat down and started eating.
"It's delicious as always, wife," he said. It was just ham and hotdogs.
"Tsk, you're just flattering me. Hurry up," I said. He smirked and finished his food.
He said goodbye and left for work.
A few hours later, I decided to bring him lunch. I made adobo and hombá (if you guys don't know, hombá , is a Filipino braised pork dish that is favorite by visayas or bisaya.)
I packed it up, showered, and got dressed. I drove his car. Yes, I had a car now. I knew he would be surprised to see me. He'd never had me bring him lunch before.
The guard recognized me and let me in.
