The Babymaker

Chapter Eighteen

“Renz?” I was surprised to see him here.

“Renz huh?” He said smirking. My face quickly turned red in embarrassment.

Damn it! You just called him on his first name.

Stupid, Apple! I thought I was still dreaming. Of course, I’m not dreaming. He’s real!

I gulped, feeling really nervous.

“I-I mean, S-sir Renz.” He smirked again. Please stop smirking.

I bowed down and played with the glasses I’m holding. Oh my.

“I-I’m sorry, Sir. I just t-thought someone already breaks in.”

“And what are you looking for this time?” I lift up my face to look at him because there’s no trace of anger in his voice instead it is soft and gentle. Makes you feel like he is caressing you. I shook my head. What am I even thinking?

He looked at the cabinet. “Let me guess… Hmmm…”

“Not milk?” I shook my head.

“Chocolate?”

“Milo po” I answered. His eyebrow lift, he looked amused.

He even played with his lower lips. It’s wet and red. I gulped. Oh my!

Really Apple, what the heck are you even thinking?

“Milo huh?” Why the milo sounds different they way he pronounced it? It so sexy. My mind  is really not working so well. “And what? You’re planning to make me drink it again?”

I felt how my face heat ups remembering how I made him drink the milk. I’m just thankful he drink it and didn’t complain.

I shook my head. “It tastes good with Apple.” I said.

“Sayo?” he playfully smirked. “Does it taste good on you?”

I didn’t get him. I don’t what he is trying to say?

“I already finished the chocolate Ms. Isabel gave mo, I’m actually melting it then I will dip the apple in melted chocolate.” I explained.

I feel conscious on how looked at me from head to toe.

Why am I even explaining it on him?

“Damn. Chocolate on you.” He whispered but because of the deafening silence surrounds us, I heard clearly what he just said.

I eyes widened when I realized what he just said. I don’t know if I’m just thinking malicious for he just said because it really sounds strange at me. It sends shiver down to my spine.

“W-what?” I said almost out of breath.

He harshly shook his head. “Nevermind.” He shut his eyes closed and when he opened his eyes again it gives the emotions he always shows.

“We… actually, don’t have any apples anymore. I already ate it awhile ago.” He closed his eyes again and gulped. “I’ll just buy you tomorrow. For now, go upstairs and have a sleep.” He ordered.

He came closer to me, I don’t know if I should step back or just remain in my position because I’m already drown staring on his deep set of black eyes.

I felt his cold hand touched my belly. I gasped on how it sends shivers on me. His hands were cold yet I felt warm inside.

He keeps on caressing my belly and his eyes emotion changed to pleading.

“Please take care of our baby.”

I don’t know what just happened last night. I’m left hypnotize by his eyes.

Our baby?

~

I’m just staring blankly on the ceiling. I don’t know if I will get up already or I will just stay in this bed, in this room.

I’m touching my belly while his work keep replaying inside my head.

“Our… our baby.” I softly uttered

“This is our— Ouch”

I felt a slightly pain in my stomach.

“Aww, baby. Are you already hungry huh?” I softly spoke to my unnoticed baby bump.

I looked at the clock on the bedside table. It’s almost eight in the morning already maybe that’s why my little monster inside is already groaning. I chuckled to that thought.

I slowly get up from the bed and stood up. Maybe he’s not here anymore, maybe he already get back in Manila, maybe he just left or forget something that’s why he is here last night. I looked down.

Now, why are you sad about that huh? I don’t know to you Apple, fix yourself.

I took a deep breath, not once, not twice but many times before I get out of the room.

I was greeted by the silence. Hmmm… It’s a good start.

When I went downstairs I saw Nanay Lydia sweeping in the huge receiving of the Monteverde.

“Nay Lydia” I called her. “Good morning” and greeted her when she looked at me.

“Hija, you’re already awake. Eat your breakfast already, I already prepare a food for you. There’s tocino and vinegar in there.”

I smiled. Nanay Lydia really knew what I like.

I nodded at her. “Thank you, Nay.”

I happily proceed in the dining area but stopped when I saw someone is seating in the middle of the dining. Oh no!

“You’re finally awake, let’s eat!” he called. He picked up the spoon and fork and scooped some rice on his plate.

He waited for me?

He just woke up also, woman!

“Hey Apple.”

I blinked my eyes twice when he called my eyes.

I gulped. I’ve been gawking for a moment already.

I looked at the vacant seat in the left side, I slowly take my seat on that vacant chair.

When I’m already comfortably seating I noticed that it’s not only tocino served in the table. There’s a lot of apples also.

Maybe Pepito already bought this in the town market, he went out early huh. Nanay Lydia didn’t allow me anymore to go in the market to do the groceries because it’s crowded and something might happened to me. She even said the Monteverde will kill her, I know she’s joking but I just agreed to avoid arguing with her. I know she will not let me win anyway. So we decided that Pepito will just buy for us since he usually on the market anyway and we’re thankful he agreed.

“Oh yes, I already bought you some apples.” I looked at him.

He bought this? Maybe I just heard it wrong, he won’t go out that early.

“Ah yes, Pepito brought these apples very early.” He looked at me with his serious face, forehead wrinkled.

“You didn’t hear me? I said, I bought it.” He even stressed out his word especially the ‘I’.

I gasped and decided to just keep quiet. “I also bought this tocino, dried fish, milo, milk and bagoong. Nanay Lydia told me you like eating smelly foods.”

What? Did Nanay Lydia really say that? That’s embarrassing!

“I also bought you some vitamins, you need those. I already asked Jenna about it—why you’re not talking? Why are you looking at me like that?” he asked me when he noticed I’m just staring at him.

How would I speak if he continuously speaking like he doesn’t letting me cut in and most of all…

“Are you scared of me?”

Yes.

I gulped.

He smirked at me.

“Oh yes, you are scared of me.”
