Chapter 40 – Unpredictable Blake
Rein’s P.O.V.
After Blake and I’s talk last night, we all decided to just go back to the party and just think of what to do next on the other days. We ignored each other and acted like nothing happened between us. It was the most civilized way we could do to not attract attention.
After the party, Ian invited Daniel to have a little sleep over at our place because he wanted to play daw despite being tired. Daniel just went home to get some of his things and went to our place right after.
They both played in Ian’s room until the moment I went inside mine. I even heard them laughing and shouting until before I went to sleep. When I woke up at dawn, I checked on them and saw that the TV in Ian’s room was still on. They fell asleep while playing.
They looked adorable squeezing themselves in my son’s single bed. Ian clung to Daniel while the controllers they used were at the foot of the bed. I kissed each of them in their foreheads and tucked them into Ian’s small bed.
The next day, Daniel and I woke up at around 4am to go jogging in Central Park. True enough, his company was all I needed to keep me going. I didn’t need music, I just listened to him and his stories which either made me laugh or scowl at him.
We got back home just in time for breakfast but just ate cereals because we were the only ones who’s up. I’m sure Georgie was really tired and Ian was really sleepy kasi he isn’t used to sleeping late.
“You know, you would really make a good husband and father.” I teased Daniel while he was washing the dishes. I tried to stop him but he insisted.
“I would only make a good husband and father if you and Ian are my family.” He smiled. After he was done, we stood there in the kitchen, facing each other while laughing at our memories way back.
I excused myself for a moment to get something in my room. I removed my workout shirt and I was only wearing my sports bra and leggings. When I got back, he was staring at me intently. “Oh, you look mighty fine, Miss.” He teased.
I couldn’t help but to blush and smile at the same time. I went beside him when I felt him wrap his arms around my hips. “But surely you weren’t this hot before.” He whispered in my ear and swept a soft kiss on my jaw.
I turned to face him and I wrapped my hands around his neck with his arms in my hips pulling our bodies close. I slide the dog tag he gave me years ago through his head and let it fall to his neck. “I didn’t know you kept this.”
“Of course I did. I used that in one of my photo shoots. Yung bracelet din, if you didn’t notice me wearing it last night.” He touched my face with the back of his hands, our noses touched. “I think I should give them back to you. I don’t deserve them.” I told him.
“Of course you deserve them.” He gave me a peck on my lips and snaked his hand through the back of my neck. “Baby, we’ll try to work this out. And if it doesn’t that’s the only time you’ll give those things back to me. Deal?” I just nodded and he pulled me into a heated kiss.
The kiss went deeper and I felt him lift me up to the kitchen counter. I felt his hand slightly squeezing my butt and I let out a soft moan. I snaked my hands inside his shirt slowly feeling his 6 pack abs. Oooohhhh, he’s so hot.
The doorbell rang and he stopped. He looked at the front door but I held his chin and forced him to face me. Slowly, our lips met for the second time. I felt him lick my lower lip as if asking for an entrance and I gave in. The doorbell rang consistently but we didn’t care.
“Ewww! Guys, seriously?! You’re going to have sex on the kitchen counter???!” Nagulat nalang kami bigla when we saw Georgie in her pink pajamas a few feet away from us. Daniel and I both blushed. I heard him laugh awkwardly and I just rested my head on his chest. “Tapos you just finished working out and you haven’t even showered yet?! Talk about gross! Tapos there’s someone at the door consistently ringing the doorbell and hindi niyo man lang pinansin??!”
Georgie was obviously disturbed in her sleep because of the doorbell. Her hair was still messed up and her eyes were still puffy. “Seriously guys???” Daniel and I tried our hardest not to laugh at her appearance. The doorbell rang once more. We heard her mutter a course before she went to see who it is.
This time, Daniel trailed kisses on my jaw to my neck and I couldn’t help but to let out a soft laugh. I just hugged him tightly. It felt so good to make out after years of not having even one kiss.
“Oh my God!!” Daniel and I looked the Georgie who was unfortunately blocking our view of whoever it was on the door. “Why are you here?!... I mean… uhmmm… bakit ang aga mo!?”
“Uggghhh… nevermind. Just come in. Sorry if I’m kind of messed up. I just woke up.” Georgie finally gave in revealing Blake at the door holding a boquet of tulips, which were Georgie’s favorite flowers. Blake looks stunningly hot even in just a simple polo shirt and khaki pants. Although Daniel was so much more hotter with what he’s wearing now.
Blake stopped at his tracks when he saw Daniel and I. After all, I was still in the kitchen counter wearing only my sports bra and leggings while Daniel is still infront of me with my legs wrapped around his hips. And we were still hugging. “Uhhmmm… hi?” I managed to say.
“Guys, will you please get a room and just continue having sex there and not on my kitchen counter. Ow, and Rein you husband’s here.” She said bitterly and a little exaggerated.
“We’re not having sex! And we’re…. separated.” I exclaimed making her roll her eyes at me.
“You were about to. I’m going to take a bath and change into something decent first. Thanks for the tulips, Blake. I’ll be quick.” She smiled at Blake but gave me a glare. She’s acting all bitter at me since we got home last night and I know why. He liked Blake so much that she even encouraged Blake to forget about me.
“I’m going to check on Ian first.” Daniel excused himself and kiss me in the cheek before going to Ian’s room.
I was left there with Blake. I didn’t know what to do so I just told him to sit down on one of the bar chairs by the kitchen counter and started making him coffee. I was aware that he was staring at my butt while I wasn’t facing him. Perv.
“I’m guessing I wasn’t supposed to see that.” He suddenly said. When I faced him, he had his most famous naughty smirk plastered across his face. Just like what I said, perv.
“See what?”
“See your post-sex position in the kitchen counter with Daniel.” I felt all the blood rush through my cheeks and I knew that I was the color of a tomato.
“We’re not going to have sex.” I said steadily and he just continued to smirk at me. “Why are you here anyway??”
“Sinundo ko lang si Georgie.” I felt disappointed. “And I came here upstairs to check on you and my son as well. But it seemed to me that you were enjoying another man’s company.”
“Well, clearly because we haven’t cleared things yet. And you have your Georgie.”
“And you have your Daniel. Fair enough.” He is starting to get on my nerves. I was expecting for him to go here so we could talk properly but instead, aalis pa sila ni Georgie. Maybe he didn’t change at all.
I gave him his coffee and was supposed to walk out on him when he cornered me. He touched my face with the back of his hand. “Don’t walk out on me again, honey.”
Honey! It was so nice hearing that endearment from him again.
He hand slid to my neck, to my breast, to my waist, and settled at my back. He’s now tracing my jaw with the tip of his nose and I just closed my eyes. “You really are more mature now, aren’t you?” He squeezed my butt and bit my earlobe which made me bit my lip to not stifle a moan and almost caught me off balance, luckily, I was able to hold onto his shoulder.
The next thing I knew, he went back to the kitchen and drank his coffee. My eyes narrowed at him and he just smirked at me. “Just to make things clear, Rein. I don’t want anyone touching you like the way I did. Not even your suitors or your fake boyfriend.” He said before I entered Ian’s room.
Ang yabang-yabang niya until now!! He’s so annoying! Sana hindi nalang kami nagkita last night! Sana hindi nalang siya nakilala ni Ian!!!! Sana…. Ugggghhhhh! Nevermind! I saw Daniel and Ian in the bed. Daniel must’ve fallen asleep too. He was hugging Ian closer to him. Tumabi muna ako sakanilang dalawa and tried to close my eyes. For a while, I felt relaxed after that hateful moment with Blake.
“Good morning, Mommy!!!!” I almost fell on the floor when Ian almost jumped into me while laughing. Daniel was able to hug me before I fell. We were laughing while hugging each other. Ian was inbetween Daniel and I.
This should be how a family looks like. Unfortunately, Christian’s father has an unpredictable change of attitude from last night and today.
“Kayong dalawa ha! Pinagtutulungan niya na ako ngayon!” Ian laughed again and hid behind Daniel who was now shirtless and smiling like a kid.
“Ian, pinagtutulungan ba natin si Mommy mo?? Hindi naman diba?” Ian just nodded yes. “Unless if we do… this.” Daniel held my wrists while Ian jumped into me, tickling me till I run out of breath. I kept on screaming and wriggling my way out of Daniel’s hands but I couldn’t.
The tickling lasted a few more minutes and stopped when Georgie opened the door without knocking with Blake at her back. “Hey! Wag niyo naman pagtulungan si Rein!” Georgie helped me get up of the bed. I saw Blake looking intently at me then on Daniel.
“We’re going na. We’ll be back naman agad. We won’t take long.” We did the beso thing and she went to Ian and kissed him on the forehead.
“Bye, bye Tita! Don’t forget my pasalubong!” Ian shouted before Georgie walked out of the room.
Blake told Georgie to wait for him in the lobby. Right after Georgie closed the door behind her, Blake pulled me by my wrist and dragged me into the living room. “We’re going to talk later. Hindi naman kami magtatagal ni Georgie. Promise. I’ll text you.”
I felt hypnotized with his brown eyes as he looked at me. I just nodded in reponse and the next thing I know, I felt his soft lips against mine. He bid goodbye and walked away.

Staring at myself in the mirror made myself confused of what I really am doing. Yesterday, I didn’t want to see Blake but now, I’m preparing for what seems to be a peace treaty dinner for the both of us which means we’ll have to discuss our son’s custody and I’m not really comfortable with that thought.
I wore one of those corporate attires that I wear when I usually meet brand owners of the company I’m going to model for and put on light make up. Christian was just staring at me the whole time with his sad look.
“Mommy, I don’t want you to work now.” He told me while he handed me my house slippers instead of my heels.
“Christian, I’m not going to work. I’m just going to have dinner. Ninang Georgie will stay here with you. I’m not going to take long.”
“But, mom…” I reached down and planted a soft kiss on his forehead. He just remained silent and I knew that anytime, he would cry. When he tells me he doesn’t want me to work, he usually cries until he turns red and couldn’t breathe or until he falls asleep. “Can I just go and have dinner with you? Please Mommy? I promise I’ll behave.”
“Christian, I’m going to talk to someone I haven’t seen for years, okay? I need to settle things with him para maging clear na lahat. I don’t want you to be taken away from me.” I tried explaining in the simplest form.
And my son being the smart one, his sad face was replaced with a curious look. “Are you meeting my Dad, mommy??” I just remained silent. Ian just stared at his fingers which were intertwined which each other. “My classmates in London have their Dads who pick them up from school everyday. And I see kids like me play in Central Park with their daddies…” He said sadly with his voice almost a whisper. But what struck me was his last sentence. “Me, I never met my daddy or even see him in pictures.”
Ngayon ko lang narinig kay Ian na he was also longing for his Dad. He jokes all the time asking my male friends if one of them is his father but it never came to me that he was finding the absence of a father in his life hard.
“Mommy, I understand if you don’t want me too see daddy. But please tell him I love him. Please, mom?” I hugged him with my eyes already teary while he just kept playing with his small hands. He didn’t hug me back but I felt him let out a heavy sigh. If you only knew how close you are to your father.
“Baby, things are really complicated right now. But if things don’t go well, there’s always Tito Seth and Tito Safe. And Lolo Matteo and Lolo Enzo. They’re like your fathers already. You’re lucky nga kasi you have more than one dad eh.”
He chuckled when I pinched his cheek. “And then there’s also Tito Luke, Tito Rob. And Tito Daniel could be my daddy! I really like him for you mommy!!” I blushed with my son’s words. “Mommy, you’re red! HAHAHA!”
He wouldn’t stop laughing and I didn’t stop staring at him with disbelief until I heard Georgie unlock the door and Blake and her stepped in. She greeted me with a hug and gave Ian her pasalubong which happened to be a new book for my son to read which made him so happy. Ian ran to his room and closed the door shut behind him.
“You can go now. He’s not going to stop reading until he finishes it.” Georgina told me with a sly smile. She also knew how to handle my son afterall, she helped me in racing Ian up.
“Thanks.” I politely said even though I know that we have this silent misunderstanding since last night.
I hugged her and she hugged back and whispered. “I really like Blake and I must admit I’ve already fallen for him a little but since he’s your husband, I’m going to back off. I don’t want a boy to ruin our friendship.”
“She’s all yours.” She told Blake and tapped his shoulders. “Just so you know, Ally doesn’t have a curfew. You just have to bring her back in one piece and unhurt.” She said the word unhurt with a double meaning.
I shot her a look but Blake and her just laughed softly. She disappeared into Ian’s room which left me and Blake staring at each other.
He flashed his real smile at me, the smile he doesn’t use to have publicity stunts but the smile I only saw when we were together a few years ago. Once again, I saw the Blake who was young and didn’t care about his ego right in front of me. He’s still attractive and his body is still built despite being at the age of 31.
“Uhmmm… you might want to change into comfortable clothes.” He told me shyly. I raised an eyebrow at him and he just smiled again.
“Why? We’re going out for dinner, right?”
“We’re going on a fun dinner and not the typical formal type. Trust me, you’re going to love it.” I didn’t say anything and just changed my clothes into jeans and a white button down. I just wore a coat to make it look better and placed my hair in a bun.
We drove for a while going to the outsides of New York city. My left hand was just resting in my lap when I felt his hand over it. He was smiling goofily when I felt him intertwined his fingers with mine. “I’ve seen some of your picture ads.” My chest pounded about at how Blake thought of me with those. “Well, they’re quite all really matured but I noticed one thing in all of your pictures.”
“Ohh, ano yun?” I asked nervously.
“You’re wearing your wedding ring in all of them.” This time, he smiled proudly. I also couldn’t help but to smile. There’s no use in denying it since he saw it for himself already.
Blake stopped driving in front of Monticello Motor Club, a private country club for professional race car drivers or people who have a passion for racing who’s willing to pay a price. It was just an hour and thirty minutes away from Manhattan and was located in Monticello.
“Why’d you bring me here??” I asked him, astounded.
“We’re not going to have the typical date. Just wait and see.” He answered with a smile. I felt his hand at my back as he slowly guided me to where we were going.
A receptionist showed us the way to the member’s lounge which had smoked glass doors covering the area. She left us when Blake politely nodded at her. When Blake opened the smoked glass door, I was surprised to see the whole room lighted with what seems to be a hundred candles surrounding the room. In the middle, a table was set for two with fancy dinnerware, freshly cooked food, and an impressive bottle of Bollinger Rose Champagne. Aside from the impressive dinner, the member’s lounge had glass walls instead of concrete so that people who stay here could see the whole road course which had 4.1 miles of race-grade asphalt.
He had never done anything like this before in our past relationship. I bit my lower lip to hide the smile that was uncontrollably forming in my lips. “Don’t bite your lip.” He warned but he was smiling. “Shall we have dinner??”
I just nodded. We both seated at the table and had our first romantic dinner ever since we got married.
“You don’t really want to drink more of the champagne.” He told me while we were still laughing at some joke he told.
“Why?? Its sooooo good. I think I could even finish the whole bottle by myself.” I laughed again. I was getting a little bit tipsy. Blake took hold of my glass and took it from me.
“Let’s go. We’re going outside.” He said before I could even complain.
We went into the road course which had two cars prepared by the starting line; one was a Porsche Boxster S. It was silver metallic which meant the owner added at least 800 dollars for that special color. The top down was wide open which showed itsYachting Blue leather interior which meant another 2 thousand dollars from the owner. The other one was the four door Porsche Panamera which I’ve been having my eyes on since got here. It was amethyst metallic, another special color from its car brand, with leather seats same as the Boxster.
From what I know about cars, both of these are the top of the line models that Porshe has and it costs about $90,000 each. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen these cars since my brothers and fathers have those but still, it costs a lot.
“Both yours?” I asked with a smirk forming my lips.
He just smiled and threw me the Panamera’s keys which I was able to catch through midair. He unlocked the Boxster and went inside it. “Hoi! Saan ka pupunta???” I asked him casually which made him chuckle.
“Well, if it isn’t obvious, I’m giving you the chance to drive one of my cars. Which I think you didn’t do before because for sure, I wouldn’t let you.” He smiled.
I started jumping up and down with excitement with my palms fisted and a grin in my lips. This, was another first. Blake never trusted anyone with his cars specially the nice ones but anyone, all of his cars are nice. “Seriously??!!”
He just nodded. I went to the Boxsters side and jumped into him, hugging and kissing him in the cheek. I actually kinda thought of the advatages of having a top-down car and chuckled. “I’ve seen you drive Rob’s car before and mukha namang kaya mo. Just put your phone on the cradle so we could still talk.”
Without hesitations, I ran to the Panamera and started the engine. I felt powerful behind its stirring wheel. I couldn’t stop smiling. I placed my phone in the cradle and a few minutes later, I could hear Blake’s voice through the speakers. “I’ll give you the pleasure of asking me everything you want to know if you beat me. And I’ll give you something too. 5 laps??”
“What??! I’m not even a professional and you expect me to do 5 laps?? And aren’t we going to stop for gas or something??” I asked him through gritted teeth. I just heard him laugh.
“No. Don’t need to. Its on full tank. Just do your best, honey.” He once again used that voice on me that always made me melt.
I looked at him through the mirror and he gave me a flying kiss which I pretended to deflect. ”Ready?” His voice throught the speakers. I nodded and then adjusted the seat. “Okay then…. Three… Two… One… GO!!”
I stepped on the gas hard enough to make my foot feel numb but it’s still useless. He’s ahead of me. “Unfair! I haven’t driven in years!” I screamed through the hands-off set.
“That’s the point.” I heard his serious voice. He’s concentrating hard. “But I haven’t driven for months too.”
Silence. A few minutes later, I was gaining speed and we were almost parallel to each other. I was surprised when he slowed down. I took advantage and gained more speed. “By the way, watch the sharp curves.” True enough, I slammed the breaks hard enough to throw me out of the car if I hadn’t been wearing any seatbelts. I heard him laugh.
After 5 laps…
“Damn it! I won! HAHA! I’m not even a racer!!” He just glared at me while I was jumping up and down. Even I myself couldn’t believe that I won a 5 lap race against Blake Bustamante!
“You just got lucky.” He said bitterly as he went near me. We sat at the front hood of the panamera, with our shoulders touching.
I rested my head on his shoulder. He flinched but he placed a swift kiss on top of my head and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “Can I ask the questions now?” I asked sweetly.
“Sure. But I think we should get inside. Its getting colder by the minute.” I hesistated for a while. “Don’t worry. What happens here, stays here. I’ve rented the whole place.”
**
We were both curled up in a couch in front of a fireplace inside the main building. I am starting to get dizzy with our fourth bottle of champagne but so far, we are both having fun. Well, at least me because of Blake’s honesty.
We were half way on the fourth bottle when Blake fished out the kiss of the Panamera from his pocket and place them carefully in my lap. “Surpirse.” He said with his breath against my neck. “You won our little race. The questions you’ve asked and the Panamera is your price.”
“I-I honestly couldn’t take that. Its too much.” Dumbfounded, I almost threw the keys back at him.
He chuckled. “Dapat masanay ka na. I will do everything to make up for the years we were apart. Lalo na kay Ian.”
Silence. There’s so many things going in my mind right now after hearing all those answers from Blake. He told me that he hasn’t been with any girl since I left. He even told me that the last time he slept with a girl was before I left. Sabi niya he concentrated with work, racing, and finding us.
“Yung totoo, Blake. You didn’t have other girlfriends for the past 6 years??” I asked again for the nth time. He just nodded again. “What about Georgie??”
“Well, she’s undeniably beautiful, hot, nice, and I saw how she cared for Ian. She also tried to help me to forget you but….” He sighed heavily.
“But???”
“She isn’t you.” He cupped my cheek with his hand and made me stare at him straight into his eyes. “There might be many girls around me but it has always been you.”
I was surprised to feel his mouth on mine which made me hold on his shoulder for support. I didn’t push him away. Blake slid his hand at the back of my neck and deepend the kiss, parting my lips with his. Once again, I felt the familiar feel of his lips on mine making me want for more.
He stood up, carried me, and continued the kiss. My eyes were close shut savouring every second of it as he carried me. I heard a door open and the next thing I knew, I felt him lay me on a bed. He started planting kisses down my jaw and neck as he removed my coat.
I’ve missed this. I missed his touch, his kisses but… “Blake… this is… wrong.” My hands were now sprawled across his chest, pushing him away.
He stopped. His face is now an inch away front of me, his brown eyes looking right through me and his breath against my lips. His fingers slid my cheek carefully. “Honey, we’re married.”
“I know but—“ He didn’t let me finish instead, our lips met again. This time more powerful. I felt myself slowly giving in as I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. His kiss felt magical. My longing for him was too much than I expected. I felt myself relaxed as if Blake just gave me the drug I was longing for.
Blake started fumbling with the buttons of my button down top. His hands didn’t need much time before we were skin on skin. His skillful hands caressing every inch of my body. My eyes closed shut as I felt mind-numbing pleasure go through my body for the first time after years.
Without giving me any chance to calm, I felt him push himself inside of me making me scream and grip his shoulder hard enough for my nails to dig into his skin. He groaned and started moving slowly.
It didn’t take long for us to a keep pace. Blake’s kisses turned into heated once, biting and sucking my lips. My back arched, my nails digging into his back, and my legs were starting to feel numb.
“Come for me.” He whispered huskily. And in just one command, I felt myself convulse and let go while screaming out his name. A few moments after, I felt his seed spill into me and we were both panting and gasping for air.
We were cuddled into each other with him facing my back after a few more rounds. “Rein??” He called out my name sweetly and pulled me closer to him, feeling his warm body against mine.
I feel myself slowly fading away because of the extreme tireness I felt. I couldn’t even open my eyes or move my body. I just wanted to sleep in his arms. “Hmmm??”
“Things were really hard and painful when you left. I felt like dying over and over again every single day. Thank you for not running away this time. I love you so much.” I just nodded to reply and I felt myself drift away completely.
