Things changed

After we finished eating at the Japanese restaurant, the male models insisted that we should go to a coffee place. But Aunt Calla refused and said that the models needed to rest. She said that it would be Monday tomorrow and the four of them would be back to work. It was starting to get dark when we got to Aunt Calla's condominium building. I was fixing my hair while I got out of the car. I closed the door and turned in Aunt Calla's direction. She was looking behind my back.

I turned to see where she was looking. Bram was walking towards us. He came near Aunt Calla and he kissed her right cheek; then he said goodbye to her. He took my right hand and pulled me towards his car.

"Bram, stop!" I took my hand back and walked near Aunt Calla.

I hugged and kissed both her cheeks, "Thank you so much for today," I told her and then I whispered, "I needed it."

"You are always welcome, darling!" Aunt Calla said as she let me go.

"I'll see you soon," I told her and walked towards Bram's car. He had already started his car. I opened the passenger's side and got in.

I put on my seat belt and looked ahead. I could see in my peripheral vision that Bram was glancing at me from time to time while we were stuck in Manila traffic. I put out my phone and read my messages instead to avoid interactions with him. I saw a message from my mom so I tapped it open.

Mom: How are you dear? Did you get home safe?

I decided to call her instead. When she answered, I asked how she and my brother were doing.

Mom: We're doing okay, dear. Your brother looked really tanned. He was always out on the beach.

Me: Good for him. How about you, mom? What did you do today?

Mom: I just enjoy the company of Wilson's mom most of the time.

Me: I'm glad to hear that. If you need anything, just let me know, okay?

I told my mom and we ended the call. I checked my emails and started to scroll up to the oldest unopened email when Bram spoke.

"I was in Manila during those times," he said out of the blue.

I was a bit confused about what he said, so I turned to him, "What?"

"You said earlier that I don't tell you my whereabouts. I was at the office, they were preparing me for the position," Bram explained as he shifted the gear.

I looked in the front of the car. I was lost for words. I could not believe that Bram just explained himself to me.

I turned to him again, "Thank you for telling me."

Glass House, Laguna

Bram got out of the car first while I was removing my seat belt. I opened my car door and got out too. Bram parked at the darkest part of the parking space. I paused for a bit so my eyes could adjust to the darkness. I felt someone grab me and pinned me to the wall.

Bram kissed and sucked my lips. He lifted me to the wall and pulled up my tucked-in shirt. And pushed my bra upwards and sucked my exposed breast.

"Bram, what about the security cameras?" I asked. I was chasing my breath.

"They can't see us in the dark," Bram commented as he licked my breast one by one.

"What if someone sees us?" I asked again. Bram lifted my skirt and pulled down my spandex shorts and panties. I gasped when Bram inserted himself into me.

"I wanted to do this to you when you yelled at me on the phone," Bram said as he went in and out on me. I wrapped my legs around his waist for leverage.

"I did not yell at you in the..." I was not able to finish because Bram claimed my lips to silence me.

My heart wanted to get out of my chest because I was feeling a lot of things at the moment. I was worried that someone would see us here. Then Bram started to increase his pace. He let go of my lips and watched my face.

When he reached his climax, he lowered his face to me and said, "From now on, I will tell you where I'm going," he said. Then he kissed my forehead and slowly got out of me.

We showered together in my room and Bram made love to me again before he passed out and slept. I was left staring at the ceiling. I recalled what Atty. Silas told us earlier at the meeting. Bram wanted to shorten the waiting period for his girlfriend. Maybe that was the reason for all of our frequent sexual intercourse. For me to get pregnant as soon as possible. A tear rolled down my face. I wiped it and closed my eyes to sleep.

Monday morning

I woke up with the blaring intercom phone. Bram was gone. I wrapped myself in a blanket and answered the phone.

"Sorry to wake you, Madam. It was ordered by Sir Bram. He wanted me to bring your breakfast this time and give you your itinerary for this week," Maria said in a hurried voice.

I yawned and answered her, "Okay, Maria. You can come up here now," I replied sleepily.

I slowly picked up my panties and pajamas and put them back on. I went to the bathroom and peed. Then I gargled my mouthwash and washed my face. I felt really hot today even though there was air conditioning in the room. Either I would have my period or I was pregnant. I went out of the bathroom when I heard the knock on my door.

I picked up my phone from the nightstand and checked the calendar for this month. Bram and I had sex on our wedding night, which was February 1. Usually my period was on the 5th of the month and today was the 8th of February already. I sat on the side of the bed and looked at Maria and the uniformed guy as they fixed breakfast on my balcony.

They called me once they finished preparing my breakfast on the balcony. They also opened the outdoor umbrella so I was protected from the sun. Maria started stating my itinerary as I started eating, "Tomorrow you will have your fitting for your dress for Friday's event," Maria said.

"What's the event on Friday?" I asked as I popped a grape into my mouth.

"It would be Sir Bram's induction as the CEO of the company," Maria answered me. Then she continued with the itinerary.

Everything was so fast. I didn't hear the rest of what she said after hearing about Bram's induction. I sighed and put up a sign for her to stop.

"I need to visit an OB-GYN today. Can I choose my Doctor or is it required that it should be the Family Doctor?" I asked Maria. And smiled at her startled face.

"I will call Madam Credence now. Give me a moment and I will adjust the schedule, Madam," Maria said as she put out her phone and made the call.
