Chapter 39 (Soon To Be Montemayor) END

Sebe was putting his shirt on when the door opened. Shawn came in. He smiled at me immediately. He was carrying papers that I think are for Sebe. I smiled back, but Sebe spoke. "Baby, can you help me with this?" he said. He cannot properly wear his t-shirt. It wasn't easy to wear, especially since it didn't fit the muscles of his arm. And now I am wondering if his body is still the same or if he has become even more muscular. In the days I cared for him, I realized we missed each other. We used to cuddle all night. He is sweeter now than he was then. But he was still the same. He's sweet, but so serious! Sometimes Mama brings Sapphire here, but only once, because I don't want her to get sick from here in the hospital. Sometimes, as much as I can, I go home and watch the baby for a while. It's also good that we can go home tomorrow because I want to be with the baby. His arm is wrapped around my waist. Volts of electricity kicked into my system. Shawn professionally told Sebe about his condition. "I am glad you finally recovered." Shawn folded his document and shook hands with Sebe. Sebe accepted that and nodded seriously. "Thank you." Shawn turned to me. "Can we talk?" he asked seriously. My chest throbbed when I saw Sebe's jaw tighten. "Uh." "Could it be outside"? He added and glanced at Sebe. I could almost hear my heartbeat with extreme nervousness. "You two can talk here," Sebe suddenly said. I blinked and didn't know what to say. I don't know why Shawn said this vulgarly right in front of Sebe. "All right, I'll come." I think we need to talk. I think he has something to say. Shawn smiled and left. "What's that, Natalia?" Sebe immediately told me angrily when the door closed. Here he goes again. He used to call me baby, but if he is serious and angry, he will call me Natalia. I closed my eyes firmly and sat down next to him. "Sebe calmed down. We'll just talk. " "I'm just in an accident, but I haven't forgotten how I saw you in Iloilo with him! He even hugged you for fuck's sake!" He might get tense. "Sebe! What are you saying? Yeah, I know! But because we're friends!" "Friend, huh?" he scoffed. "Please, don't be mad. I don't want us to fight. I've learned my lesson. We can talk properly. Please, don't be mad." I swear I didn't recognize my voice right now. I could see his jaw tighten. I looked at his handsome face. Besides his jaw-dropping looks, I also loved him. His nose touched mine. "Okay. Just talk." I nodded. "Just talk," I said. "Keep distance; no touching." I was almost embarrassed by what he said. "Yes. No touching." "Please kiss me, baby." I squatted down to reach him, but he grabbed my nape and kissed me. I moaned when he sucked my tongue. Immediately. His kiss dropped to my chest. I looked up as he bent down to kiss my chest. I arched my back to give him more access to kiss me there. He cursed, especially when my breast is still big because of the milk. My lips parted as he licked it hard. "Ah! ~ Gosh." I can't help but moan. His tongue expertly sucked my nipple. Damn it! I was almost embarrassed because I knew he tasted my milk there! "Sebe!" I pushed him, but he didn't stop! He licked his lips and smirked. He kissed me one more time. "I can't wait to see our baby." He kissed my collarbones, so I closed my eyes. "I can't wait to bed you. I really can't. " Every move I make is always shy because he looks at me teasingly, but he used to be like that. When I finally got out, Shawn and I immediately talked. He's a good friend. He helped me a lot in Iloilo. He helped me with my checkups! To my papers! In my meals! He's good. On the rooftop of St. Luke's We looked at the sky in Manila and the setting sun. My hair is impressed by the wind. We were both staring at the sunset. "I am happy for you," he finally said. I smiled at him. "Thank you; I don't know how I can repay all the kindness you showed me in Iloilo, Shawn." He shook his head and put his hand in his uniform pocket. "You don't have to; just be happy. It's enough for me." He bowed immediately. My heart melts. "Thank you so much." My lips parted when I saw that his eyes were red. What? Is he about to cry? "You know, I love you, Natalia." He looked up and closed his eyes. 'Letting go of my feelings for you is not easy." He looked at me.But I had no choice. I love you, but I know your happiness is him. I won't force myself. I didn't own you in the first place." My heart ached. All this time, I knew nothing. I only think of him as a friend. "S-Shawn, I'm sorry." He smiled. "Don't worry about me. Can I hug you for the last time?" I grinned. "Of course." *** Two months passed, and a lot happened. Baby Sapphire is three months old. She's adorable and cute! Her face was just serious. He had Sebe, who is always serious. Now it's my bachelor's farewell! This is all Jenn's idea! Because Sebe and I will get married tomorrow! I don't need it like this! It's already eight o'clock, and I haven't done anything because Sebe is also having a stag party. It's his cousin's idea, of course. I know a woman was there! I don't know which bar! I left the baby with Mama. She knows about this. Mama is also in favor of watching over her granddaughter. "Come on, Nat! Enjoy your party!" Some of my friends were invited! They are cheering me up. We're in a high-end bar just here in BGC. Kylie isn't because she's pregnant. Three men were dancing in front of us and turning topless. I almost hid behind Jenn. The stereo and everything are too noisy. They planned this! The alcohol! The chips! The rented bar! The three boys dancing stripped on our front! I think it's all a sin. A lot of games have taken place. The ones with me she took pictures of. I was seated in a chair, and three masked men danced right in front of me. There is also a cake-like penis curve! I could hardly have eaten that! It's all unbelievably bad that I've experienced tonight! It's late at night, and I can't help but think of Sebe. I felt like I was going to explode with so much excitement for our wedding. Even though the ringing and screaming were loud, we were shocked when the door slammed. All of us gasped. Sebes is wearing a black v-neck shirt and pants. He's walking toward me. It's as if I heard nothing but the noise of my heart. What is he doing here? He must be at his stag party! Before I could react, he immediately pulled me away. Jenn laughed to the side. "Enough, Natalia! I'm not happy with this!" He dragged me towards his car. We left my companion there inside! He's so rude! "What? Aren't you having a party too? Why are you here ?!" I asked back. He opened the front seat, so I entered while he was still at the door. He put his arms on my seat while the other was already on my thigh. My chest is throbbing. "Stag Party? Do you think I can enjoy it if I see such pictures on Facebook?" "It's just a game!" I tried to explain, but he closed the door. What a dog! He immediately entered and operated his car. "Let's go home. Let's do the fucking party in our room." He smirks devilishly. 'I'll make sure you'll enjoy it." He grinned, and I just rubbed my forehead. I secretly looked at him while he was driving. I secretly wiped away my tears. From now on, I will expand my understanding of him. From now on, I will wake up every morning because I know someone is waiting for me to wake up: Sebe and baby Sapphire. I reached for his hand, holding the steering wheel. He glanced at me immediately with a frown. "I love you," I whispered. He smiled and held my hand while one hand was driving. "I love you more, Natalia Grace Montemayor." He grinned and kissed my hand. Even though this life of ours is full of struggles, in the end, We will all end up happy. All the pain, the tears, and the sacrifices. Is it all worth it? Tomorrow is the day I am going to marry the man I will ever love. I am Natalia Grace De Vera, soon to be a Montemayor.
