A Request to ABS-CBN

Dear ABS-CBN,

We are eagerly awaiting your next plans for the GEEMICK team-up. As supporters of the GEEMICK tandem, we have demonstrated time and again that we have the numbers. Mickey’s win in the recent Love Spell ending poll merely emphasized that the interest for this two to be seen more on screen together has not waned. Their huge following is here to stay and we continue with our firm resolve to fight for this team-up until it is properly recognized by ABS-CBN.

The undeniable chemistry of the two on and off screen certainly deserves a chance to flourish. In this regard, we are fervently hoping that you feature them in more shows and projects. For starters, pls. make Gee-Ann a regular in ASAP. We are looking forward to seeing her in production numbers with Mickey. Moreover, we also want to see them possibly in a teleserye, as regulars in a sitcom, another Your Song episode perhaps or other guestings in shows like Boy and Kris, Wazzup Wazzup, The Buzz , Sharon etc.

Once again, pls. fill in the huge void of Mickey and Gee-Ann projects in order to meet the continued clamor of their fans. Thank you very much!

GEEMICK

GEEMICK: Compatible And Meant For Each Other

originally posted by scarlett at geemick pex thread part 3:

Let's take a look at Mickey's zodiac -- Gemini
Adaptable and Versatile. Communicative and Witty. Intellectual and eloquent, youthful and lively. Nervous and Tense. Cunning and Inquisitive. Gemini's are said to find it difficult to compromise their convictions.the urge for self-expression is strong. These natives are often just as interested in collecting information as they are in sharing it. Curious to a fault, Geminis have a finger in every pie.

Solar Geminis are flexible and changeable people. Their ability to adapt quickly to new situations generally gains them plenty of friends and social contacts. Usually quite clever and witty, Geminis enjoy intellectual conversations and they are easily bored if they are not getting enough mental stimulation.

Often quite adept at fitting in with others, Geminis easily adopt the moods of those around them. They are friends to people from all walks of life, and are not easily intimidated. Their ability to detach themselves can make Geminis very objective and observant, but a little difficult to get close to. Although they often have many friends, intimacy doesn't come as easily to Solar Geminis.

Notice Mickey finds it difficult to compromise his style of "panliligaw" with what GeeAnne desire of panliligaw style. Mickey is cunning too, which is why he has great discernment of what is happening in the PBB house. He can easily read between the lines. He is inquisitive -- notice how he continuously queries GeeAnn when he is looking for answers. He is youthful, playful and acted like a child joyously running around when he was announced to be part of the big four. He can be nervous too and tense, that continous "leg jerking movement" may be a manifestation of this.

GeeAnne's zodiac -- Scorpio
Allow me to quote something appropriate to GeeAnne:
"According to Scorpio Zodiac Mystical Astrology. The mark of a good Scorpio is not the capacity to be effective when things are going well but to be able to be effective in scarcity; in those times when things do not fall easily into place; and events invite dissension and conflict. There is something that beckons to the greater self; to the part of us that desires to stretch and grow and extend, and in so doing continually seeks opportunities for just such a moment to unfold."

"You are a dynamic, passionate person who has a lot to give, but who also expects the same level of commitment in return."

-- this highlights Gee's desire to have the same level of commitment, and I think this is the ongoing struggle between Gee and Mickey -- to continue:

"You are determined to follow through on your own commitments and responsibilities, and you generally do what it takes to achieve your goals. Your charisma sets you apart from others, and you find that others quite easily respect you. Willing to help out, but never a pushover, you know your limits and you don't have much trouble communicating them. You are somewhat of a perfectionist, and your tendency to try to control things is most apparent in your career and on the home front. You are an executive, but you also know the value of teamwork and charm, so you don't come on too strong. Your distaste for the superficial is marked."

A ROSE OF LOVE
by sis RYLZEL

CHAPTER 1

A blind date ….
Gianina Maria gave her sister Saicy a look designed to kill the idea on the spot. As much as she loves her sister and enjoyed this weekend spent with her for she needed time out from men – one in particular – Miguel. And the idea of even being polite to any male at the moment would be an effort she didn’t want to make.

But the look didn’t work. It makes Saicy into attack mode with eyes flashing. ‘You know your problem, Gianina? You’ve been fixated on Miguel Castro for so long that you’ve erected a wall around you. Can’t you even see other men are better for you and more attractive too.’

So find me one, Gianina thought derisively, having done her own looking each time Miguel had strayed, then forgiving him and taking him back again bcoz there simply wasn’t anyone else she wanted to be with. Other men were dull compared to Miguel, but this last fidelity went beyond the bounds of acceptability, to find him giving sex with a junior staff in her office … that was too bitter a blow on her pride. This had to be the end of their relationship. The final end.

‘I’m not up to a blind date, Saicy. I’m not in the mood’
‘You never are. You’ve wasted 4 years of your life with him. Now you should be celebrating being free of him, giving yourself the chance to meet someone else.’

‘This guy has been a friend of Robert’s since school days. You will like Robert. His friend should be at least interesting person. Beside its my birthday and the best
birthday present you could give me is to see you enjoying yourself w/o Miguel Castro.’

‘Ok fine, I’ll go but I’m taking my car so that if Robert’s friend is a total bore I can come home by myself whenever I like.’

A blind date …

CHAPTER 2

A blind date …
Michael Richards rolled his eyes at the idea of putting himself out for a woman he hadn’t see, knew nothing about and would never meet again.
‘She’s a stunner.’ His old friend, Robert Woods, assured him.
‘Yeah stunner women are two penny in my world. All of them ambitious.’
‘That might be in Switzerland, but your in Manila remember? Saicy’s sister is something else and a night-out with a gorgeous down-to-earth Pinay will do you good.’

Michael winced at the argument. They’d been friends since school days and had always kept in touch despite their different career and location. Michael had sought the creative world of computer technology and build up a company that was now on hot demand for producing special effect for movies.

‘Robert, I don’t mind that you’ve got a date with your girlfriend. Go out and enjoy yourself, I’ll be fine here don’t worry.’
‘But its our last night and tomorrow your going back to Switzerland’, Robert’s unhappy frown pinched Michael’s conscience.
‘I can’t get out of it. It’s Saicy’s birthday.’
‘I tell you, Michael, if I hadn’t got to know Saicy first, I’d probably be chasing her sister. Gianina is a knock-out’
‘So how come she’s available on a Saturday night?’ Michael commented.
‘Oh same as you, taking time out. Spending weekend with her sister.’
‘And I guess Saicy doesn’t want to leave her alone either.’
‘No she doesn’t. So help me out here, will you Michael? Please?
‘Okay, I’m in,’ he conceded. ‘As long as you accept that if I find Gianina a total bore, I’ll make an excuse to come home early.’
‘Done’ Robert agreed, grinning his head off.

CHAPTER 3

Robert insisted that they set of at quarter to eight even though its only a 10-minutes drive to Makati in a posh fine-dining hotel, they are to meet Saicy and Gianina there.
While waiting for them they order drinks, Michael is skeptical that the ladies will be there on-time (he knows from experienced that women always comes late).

‘Told you they’d be on time.’ Robert crowed, nodding to to the car Michael was watching. ‘That’s Gianina driving.’
‘Is it her car?’ he asked, finding himself interested by the unexpected.
‘Yes, Saicy calls it Gianina’s rebellion.’
‘Against what?’
Robert shrugged, ‘Being a woman, I guess.’
Michael rolled his eyes at him, ‘You mean I’m about to be faced with a raging feminist.’
The answering grin was unrepentant, ‘More a femme fatale. Just watch your knees. They might buckle any minute now.’
Not a chance, Michael thought.

She parked the convertible right at the end of the row of cars, the furthest point away from the entrance of the hotel. Michael decided, in case she wanted an easy getaway.
Which makes two of us, darling.

He and Robert waited for the two women to join them. Michael’s attention was galvanized. Robert hadn’t lied. He hadn’t even exaggerated. Gianina Maria was a stunner. Helen of Troy came to mind. Here was a face that could definitely launch a thousand ships, aided by the erotic positioning of a deep pink flower over her right ear.

-----------

A Class-A hunk … Gianina thought when she first saw Robert’s friend. Tall, fair and handsome with a body brimful of strong masculinity, his tight black jeans and the short-sleeves, open-necked white shirt showing off his impressive physique.

‘Wow!’ Saicy murmured approvingly. ‘Robert’s friend sure measures up’
Probably worked out at a gym in front of a mirror, Gianina was determinedly unimpressed, yet us they strolled towards the two men, a flutter started up in the pit of her stomach. It was the way he was looking at her, she argued to herself, assessing her female assets, which, unfortunately, were on blatant display in Saicy’s dress.

‘Saicy …Gianina…this is my friend, Michael Richards…’
Another stunning impact.
She knew him, or rather, she knew of him. Who didn’t in the computer graphics business? Michael Richards was already reaching legendary status for what he had achieved in special effect. He produced amazing stuff and he was Robert’s friend … her blind date …

Very white teeth flashed winning smile, ‘I’m delighted to meet you both. And I wish you a very happy birthday, Saicy.’
‘I appreciate your giving me your company tonight, Gianina,’ he said personally.
‘My pleasure.’
‘Does Robert coerce you on into partnering me tonight?’
‘I had no other plans. Robert wanted me to make up a party of four tonight and I agreed,’ His mouth quirked. ‘No regrets so far. But if you have a problem with the arrangement …’
‘No,’ she rushed out on a wave of intense relief.
‘You want to cut and run?’
‘Saicy would kill me if I did.’
‘Ah! So she coerced you.’
‘It was more her idea than mine.’
‘Then let’s join forces and leave them here and go somewhere else.’
‘Where will we go?’
‘I know a place where we can be alone.’

There is no tomorrow, she recited, meaning it as a sobering caution to be sensible. Yet somehow it the perverse effect of inciting a sense of wild recklessness – a desire to take what she could of Michael Richards, while she could. To have him. All he’d give her, if only for one night.

CHAPTER 4

Nine months later …

Gianina set the crystal tiara carefully on over Saicy’s topknot of black curls, watching her sister’s reflection in the mirror to position this last piece of wedding finery
‘There! You look fabulous! A princess bride if ever I saw one.’
Saicy’s eyes sparkled with happy anticipation. ‘I hope Robert thinks so,’
‘How could he not, you’ll take his breath away.’
‘You look fabulous too Gianina. That dark red gown suits you.’
It did. And the simple elegance of the strapless satin gown was much more her style. Though Saicy had stuck her with a flower in her hair, a dark red rose nestled against the topknot of her curls.

‘You know what would really make me happy?’ said Saicy
‘I thought you were over the moon already, marrying the man you love.’
‘That also, but for you Gianina to find someone you will love and who will love you back unconditionally.’
‘I’m sure, I will one day … so don’t you worry…concentrate on your big day.’
‘And I have my rabbits too keep me company
‘Rabbits cannot take the place of a man in your life.’
‘Your right. They’re something else. Rabbits love you unconditionally. Rhett and Scarlet are always there for me. They never let me down.’
‘Rhett and Scarlett’ Saicy scoffed, ‘Whoever heard of a rabbit being called after characters from Gone With the Wind?’

It seems apt at the time, since she’d bought them after her night with Michael Richards …a night that was gone with the wind though she’d always remembers it.

‘A pity Michael couldn’t make it today. You make such a striking pair when Robert and I fixed up that blind date for the two of you.’
‘Mmm …’ it was the most non-committal reply Gianina could come up with.

Initially he’d been designated as Robert’s best man, but commitments on the other side of the world had forced him to regretfully decline the honor. Which was undoubtedly true but sometimes makes Gianina thinks that maybe his avoiding partnering her again …for just one night.

A second night …
Her stomach clenched at the need that suddenly clawed through her. Stupid, she fiercely told herself. Magic could never be recaptured. It would be different, a second time around.

-------

Michael glanced at his watch as he strode out the hotel. Just past three-thirty with any luck he should get to the church in time for the wedding. He just flown from Switzerland only an hour ago with no luggage to collect since he carried his overnight bag with him, and he already shaved in flight so he only need to shower at the hotel and he’s on his way.

The taxi he’d ordered was waiting for him, he climbed into it and gave the driver the address of the church, adding that he need to be there by 4o’clock for the wedding.

‘No problem, being a Saturday the traffic is not that heavy and in any event, the bride is always late.’ The cab driver cheerfully assumed.
Not Saicy, Michael thought, remembering her on the dot punctuality in arriving at the hotel on the night of his blind-date with Gianina.

Gianina …
He sighed over the frustrating conflicts she raised in his mind. The memory of her had almost stopped him from coming to this wedding. Robert’s wedding! As it was, he’d let his old friend down, declining the role of best man because that would have inevitably put him as Gianina’s partner in the wedding party.

He shook his head over her lingering and pervasive effect on him. Try as he might, he couldn’t erase the memory of that one night with her aside and it had proved unsettling too many times over this past year, distracting him from business, destroying the attraction that other women would have had in the normal course of events. But he should not have let it get in the way of standing up for Robert on his wedding day.
His hands clenched in anger.
Bad decision!

The taxi is nearing the church, Michael checked his watched again. Ten minutes left to get there. He probably arrive at the same time as the bride. Which mean seeing Gianina as Saicy’s bridesmaid. He felt his nerves tightening and willed them to relax.
She wouldn’t stun him a second time.
He knew what she looked like.
A nod of acknowledgement or a wave as he headed into the church would get him by. More than likely, he’d find she didn’t match up to the memory and this whole thing about her would fade into insignificance. They’d shared a great night, but that was all it was … one great night.[/QUOTE]

CHAPTER 5

‘ Waiting for me to help, Dad.’
The seductive sound of her voice, made Michael stopped and looked.
‘ Now, Gianina, I’m the father of the bride. Don’t do me out of my job.’ She laughed.
She’d taken a couple of steps towards the lead car and was swinging toward Michael, looking at the ground to be covered from the bride’s car to the church. Her head jerked in shock at her first sight of him. Disbelief chased across her face.

Now was the time to nod or wave and move right on, Michael told himself. But his body didn’t obey that dictate. She stared at him and he stared at her, both of them totally immobile. It was as if they were caught in a time-warp where only both of them existed, bounded together by memories that were uniquely theirs.

She was vividly, vibrantly, and undeniably stunning…so beautiful he couldn’t tear his gaze away. She had a flower in her hair again, dark red this time, not pink. The same dark red as her gown.

‘Michael!’ The call of his name snapped him. It came from Saicy, stepping out of her car in cloud of white. ‘You came! Does Robert know?’ she cried in surprised delight.
He nodded. He waved a salute to her. It felt as though he was reacting in slow motion. Words finally came, ‘See you in the church.’

He didn’t risk another look at Gianina. His legs took him where he had to go. A church was supposed to be a safe haven, but it felt like a trap but there was no escape from it. He was here for Robert.

--------

Gianina gave herself a mental shake. Michael Richards was here. It hadn’t been a hallucination. Saicy has seen him also. Spoken to him. And he’s answered. He’d come for the wedding, was in the church right now, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

The way he looked at her …her whole body was still tingling. Despite the most part of the year having passed since their one night together, it had felt as though time stood still and the intimate connection was just as immediate and powerful as it had been then. No difference at all. And her heart was excited at the thought of having another night with him.

But he wasn’t her partner tonight …but the best man named Kian
Her mind trembled at the enormity of what she was thinking and feeling. He hadn’t made any contact with her. He’d come to the wedding out of friendship with Robert. Yet given the chance, she would choose to be with Michael Richards
All night.

CHAPTER 6

‘She’s very beautiful.’ Zeke said. He wrenched his gaze from the couple on the dance floor and look at his friend.
‘What?’ he said, not having caught what he was talking about.
‘Saicy’s sister, Gianina. Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed, you been staring at her all evening.’ He frowned, not liking to think his obsession with Gianina Maria was obvious. ‘She is …very watchable.’ He said, trying to ignore the issue aside.
‘So you mean, your not interested at her and I can pursue her?’ Zeke asked.
‘No you cannot, so back-off will you.’ Michael said
‘Well then do something, coz I think her partner right now is pretty much enjoying what his doing with Gianina.’

Michael gaze instantly targeted the dance floor. Other couples dance apart but not Gianina and her partner. A red haze of fury tingled Michael’s thoughts.
His chair almost tipped over as he erupted into his feet. It had taken all his control not to make any contact with Gianina Maria all night, but be damned if he’s going to let some other guys connect with her under his nose.

‘Hey!’ Kian protested, loosening his grip on her as he half-turned to face the threatened assault.
‘Excuse me,’ Michael grated out, his dark eyes blazing a challenge. ‘This dance with Gianina is mine.’

Kian dropped her like a hot coal and back-off the dance floor, gesturing for Michael to take her over. Which he did, with a speed that almost swept her off her feet.
‘You didn’t ask my permission,’ she fired at him, her eyes defying him his arrogance in assuming he could keep her waiting for hours and still do whatever he wanted with her.
‘No, I didn’t. you can reject me if you want to,’ he returned her challenge with blistering mockery.
She’s burning with anger for her arrogance, but at the same time with excitement and desire to be with him.
‘I bought two rabbits,’ she said out of the blue.
He looked startled, then bemused, ‘Two rabbits,’ he repeated with mock gravity.
‘Yes,’ she tilted her chin to a challenging angle, ‘And I also bought a beautiful cage for them.’

His mouth burst into a wide dazzling grin, then he threw back her head and laughed, startling her with his wild amusement. He clasped her closer, whirling her around, out past the opened doors and onto the veranda.
‘That wasn’t meant to be funny,’ she protested
His dark eyes twinkled amusement as he answered, ‘Only you would tell me about rabbits, Gianina.’ He seemed about to say more, stopped, grimaced, then flatly said, ‘I’m on a flight back to Switzerland in the morning, Gianina, I only came from Singapore for Robert’s wedding.’
Fair warning…like the last time…and if she has any sense, she would walk away, from here right now, because it meant-as before-he had no intention of involving himself in an on-going relationship with her. It was here now, gone tomorrow, no different to their first night together. Yet even knowing this, Gianina could not quash the feeling he aroused.
His head dipped towards hers. A kiss was coming. Her heart is beating faster in her chest. Her mind screamed that this is the moment to stop him. But her whole body yearned to feel again how it was with him and when his mouth touched hers there was no thought left of pulling back. Any last shred of denial was swamped by a rush of blood to the head, blood that sang for all the sensation she craved.
They kissed and were united in a deep inner world of their own, feverishly claiming all they could while they could- a savage feast of kissing, of touching, of immersing all their senses in each other.

-------

It was time to go

Michael pickup his clothes and dressed, he pondered the magic she represented. She did have a power over him. An addictive power that made him wary of establishing her in his life. A relationship meant constant ties, limitations to his freedom to be wherever he had to be to fulfill his business obligations. Would she drop everything to come with him, be with him?
He finished dressing and turned to go.
On the floor in front of the armchair lay the dark red rose he’d taken from her hair. It was an artificial rose, perfect, reminding him of more things about Gianina and how he’d felt with her. He twirled it around his finger, telling himself it was stupid to keep such a memento. Yet he still held her rose as walked to the door and let himself out.
He had no idea what he’d do with it.
He just wanted it.[/QUOTE]

CHAPTER 7

Gianina saw the sparkling excitement in her sister’s eyes and knew what she was going to say even as Saicy leaned over the table to deliver her news in a confidential whisper.
‘I’m pregnant’
So am I. The words almost spilled out of Gianina’s mouth, but what she did was plastered a delighted grin. ‘Congratulations!, I’m so happy for you and Robert.’
Saicy sat back, clapping her hands in sheer joy as she said, ‘And just two months after the wedding!,’ ‘I thought it might take ages since I’ve been on pills for so long,’ Saicy rushed on.
It took only one night.
‘No morning sickness yet?’ she asked
Saicy laughed and shook her head, ‘I guess that’s coming soon. I’ll have to buy some books and read up all the do’s and don’ts,’ she gave Gianina an arch look, ‘Now if you were a proper older sister, you’d be able to advise me on all this. Still no man around?’
Pain stabbed her heart. There’d been no contact from Michael since the night of the wedding. He hadn’t even woken her to say goodbye.
Gone with the wind …

None of this had been really real to her then. More a romantic fantasy. And the more she’d thought about it, the less inclined she’d been to willfully take away the possibility that a new life had been created in the heat of her night with Michael – a life she would love and cherish – a part of him she would always have.
She’d left the decision to Fate.

-------

The telephone rang, she’s didn’t even speculate on who might be calling. She simply picked up the receiver. There was a moment of silence then her name was repeated at the other end of the line.
‘Gianina …’
The deep timbre of the voice was instantly recognizable, stopping her heart from beating and sending prickles down her spine.
‘ … it’s Michael Richards’
‘I was wondering if you could get a rabbit-sitter?’
The crazy question jolted her into saying, ‘What?’
‘Someone to look after Rhett and Scarlet if you flow to Switzerland for a week.’
‘Switzerland?’ she knew she was sounding stupid but couldn’t snap herself out of the stunned daze.
‘I would like very much if you’d partner me to the Academy Awards ceremony.’
‘Gianina … will you come?’
‘Yes,’ she said
‘Good!,’ a wealth of satisfaction in his voice, ‘Call the airport tomorrow and they’ll give you the details.’
‘Michael …’
‘Mmm?’
Nothing. She’d just wanted to say his name, ‘I’ll look forward to seeing you again,’ she rushed at.
‘I want you with me,’ he simply stated
And that was the end of it.
Or the beginning of something Gianina hadn’t dared count on

CHAPTER 8

She was in bed and fast asleep, just as he’d left her three months ago … Gianina.
He didn’t say her name at loud but rolled to his mind, filling it with pleasure and all the doubts he’d nursed since calling her to come suddenly seemed totally irrelevant, she was here. And so was he. It felt good …right.

With feather light fingertips, he trialed his fingers down the soft curves of her cheek, then slowly traced her full lower lips. A slight crease appeared between her eyes, disturbances at a subconscious level. He was smiling when her lashes lifted.
‘Hi!’ he said, happy to greet her into his life again.
‘Hi!’ she responded with a sign that spread into a slow sensual smile.
‘Good of you to come’
‘Good of you to ask me’
He laughed, delighted by her laid-back attitude. ‘An act of total selfishness, I’m afraid.’
‘Oh, I don’t know. Seems to me there’s quite a bit of giving in it. The first class seat on the flight was much appreciated. The limousine made me feel like a VIP. And this suite…’ she gave him an anxious look. ‘Please tell me it’s some king of perk related to your work.’
Her concern over the cost amused him. Other women he knew would take this for granted. ‘Definitely a perk related to my work,’ he assured her.
‘The penthouse suite,’ she breathed in awe, rolling her eyes. ‘I almost died when I was shown into it.’
‘Is that why you’re in bed? He teased.
‘I thought it had to be a dream and when I woke up …’ She reach up and touched his face. ‘This is real, isn’t it?’
‘It feels real to me.’

He leaned over her, brushing her lips with his, tasting them with light flicks of his tongue. Her arms wound around his neck, inviting more reality, and Michael was only too ready to oblige, to reacquaint himself with the whole intensely desirable package of Gianina Maria.

--------------

Afterwards, they get dressed and decided to do some sight-seeing then dine-out. Michael choose a less-crowded restaurant, after giving the waiter their order, Michael sat back and eyed her and said, ‘I really want to race you back to the hotel. Why do you suppose you have this effect on me?’

It was another chance to probe his feelings and Gianina seized it. ‘Saicy says…maybe we don’t get to pick whom we love. They just complement something in us.’
‘Love…’ Michael frowned over the word, a dark rejection of it in his eyes as he tersely asked, ‘You’ve discussed me with your sister?’
‘No , I consider what we’ve had together very private,’ she said slowly, the urge to hurt him as he’d hurt her.
Michael change the subject, casually asking, ‘ So how are Robert and Saicy? Still blissful newlyweds?’
‘Very blissful,’ Gianina almost snapped, then bluntly stated, ‘They’re expecting a baby.’
His eyebrows rose in surprise. ‘Straight off?’
‘It’s what they both want.’
‘Well good luck to then.’ His mouth twitched into a whimsical little smile. ‘Robert will make a very proud Dad.’
The highly sensitive question shot out before she could stop it. ‘Do you ever think of having children yourself, Michael?’
He shrugged. ‘One day.’ He picked up his glass of wine and swirled it around, watching the movement of the liquid, not looking at her. Deliberately not looking at her?
‘Robert’s father is a good dad,’ Michael remarked musingly. ‘He always let his children be. Robert will be like that, too.’ His gaze snapped to her, hard and searing. ‘ My father wanted to order my life as he saw fit. I had to fight against his orders all through my teenage years. I wouldn’t let him own me. No one owns me.’
Her heart sank.
Freedom was like a religion to him, he would never be tied down by anyone, Unless he chose it. And he’d been given no choice over her pregnancy.
The scream in her mind dropped to a wail of despair. She said nothing. ‘He died when I was twenty-two,’ Michael went on. ‘For me it was a release and for my mother too. No more conflict.’
If he witnessed a difficult marriage all through his childhood, what hope was there of him wanting marriage at all?

She felt sick. When the food arrived, she just picked at it, feeling sicker and sicker. Her womb ached, as though it, too, was drained of hope. Eventually she had to excuse herself and head for the ladies’ room. Something was wrong, too wrong for her to ignore. Her hands were trembling as she locked herself in a cubicle. A few fumbling moments later she understand what she’d been feeling and her heart was gripped by a wrenching fear.
She was bleeding

CHAPTER 9

Michael put down his knife and fork, giving up on the half-eaten steak. He’s been forcing himself to eat it, any appetite he’d had completely killed by the guilt he felt at having used Gianina to satisfy himself. He hadn’t promised her anything, hadn’t led her to believe in a continuing relationship, but…talking about love…even children.
It was obvious now that she’d come to Switzerland hoping for something more from him than what he’s prepare to give, and he said it brutally which had hurt her. Hurt badly. The meal on her plate was barely touched. She looked sick when she’d left the table and she’d been gone now…what? Ten, fifteen minutes? He hoped she wasn’t crying.
Gianina was on her way back, a set determination on her face and not the slightest bit of warmth or pleasure in her eyes. She didn’t move to sit on her chair but remained standing by the table, a bleak decision on her eyes that met his with unwavering resolution.
‘What is it” he rapped out, forcing the issue, wanting to deal with it.
‘I need your help, Michael.’ A flat, bare statement.
‘Whatever I can do,’ he promised quickly, not having anticipated an appeal for help.
‘I don’t know anyone here except you. I don’t know where to go or what to do. Please…you must help, no matter how you feel about it.’ Her voice cracked after saying it and tears are not far from coming.
Michael alarmed by her intense distress, automatically reached out and closed his hands reassuringly around her shoulders, which were held too stiffly, ‘I’m here for you, he strongly asserted. ‘ Tell me how can I help.’
‘I’m pregnant. I’m bleeding. I think I’m having a miscarriage.’
And she pass out.

CHAPTER 10

Michael took charge, everything passed in a blur to Gianina. While one part of her mind is thankful for his prompt action in getting her to the hospital, another part shut him out, focusing entirely on keeping still, keeping calm, willing her baby to hold on.

The doctor examined her. She hadn’t lost the baby yet. It was still there but she need to rest quietly tonight and they’d run a scan on her tomorrow to check the situation.
Michael was still with her in the private room he had arranged. He hadn’t asked her any questions.

She didn’t want to answer any. No point. He’d made his position clear. Marriage and children were not on his agenda. To his credit, he had risen to her desperate appeal for help, despite the shock it must have been to him. And it was up to her now to cut him free of an involvement with her.
‘Thank you, Michael,’ she said quietly, forcing herself to look at him face to face. He deserved that acknowledgement for all he’d done, though it pained her to see the darkly clouded eyes of the man on whom she pinned so many futile hopes. ‘Please don’t feel you have to stay. I’ll manage on my own now.’
‘It’s my child, isn’t it?’ he stated more than asked. No doubt in his mind.
The was no denying it, nor evading it. He’d heard her tell the medical staff that she was three months’ pregnant. ‘Yes,’ she said, then added, ‘I lied to you. It wasn’t safe. So its not your fault, Michael. I’m the only one who’s responsible for this child.’
‘Did you want to fall pregnant, Gianina?’
His voice was carefully void of any criticism. Yet she read into the question she’d planned to trap him into fatherhood and she couldn’t bear him to think that of her.
‘I just wanted you that night, Michael. I’d gone off taking pill months ago. No need for it. When I told you it was safe, I meant to get a morning-after pill the next day,’ she sighed.
‘But you didn’t,’ he quietly prompted.
‘No. You were gone without a word to me. Call it madness if you like, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.’ She managed an ironic smile. ‘If a new life had been conceived by us, I felt it was meant to be. And I guess if I miscarry now, that’s meant to be, too.’
Tears welled up. She quickly rolled her head across the pillow, turning her face away from him, swallowing hard to hold in the wave of grief. He would probably be relieved if she lost the baby, relieved to have no permanent tie on his plate. It was only she who wanted the child, loved knowing it was growing inside her, cherished the life she and Michael had made together.
‘Please go … please…’ she choked out, telling herself not to weep. It would know up her muscles and she had to stay relaxed. She heard the scrape of his chair and the squeeze on her heart grew even tighter. He was leaving.
Then she felt warm fingers stroking down the hand lying closest to where he’s been sitting, strong fingers spreading hers apart, interlacing, gripping. ‘I left you in the past, Gianina. I won’t leave you alone tonight,’ he said gently. ‘You just rest now. I’ll watch over you. Make sure nothing more goes wrong.’

CHAPTER 11.

‘There is no heartbeat.’
No heartbeat…
Gianina felt her own heart stop. She closed her eyes. The doctor’s words kept on ringing in her mind – a death knell for her baby.
‘Are you sure?’ Michael demanded harshly. ‘Can you check again?’
‘I have been trying to find it for some time, Mr. Richards. There’s nothing. I’m sorry, but there’s no point in holding out any hope. Given the amount of bleeding, it was highly unlikely that…’
‘All right!’ Michael snapped.

Silence. Gianina floated in a sea of nothingness. No hope. No baby to love. Her heart had started beating again, sluggishly reluctant to bother with this life. She wanted to die, too.
‘Ms. Maria…’
The sympathetic tone in the doctor’s voice forced her to open her eyelids and acknowledge him. Not his fault that her baby was dead. Fate had decided she couldn’t have it after all.
‘It’s best you have a curette now.’
‘Yes,’ she agreed. Time to turn over another page. She wasn’t pregnant anymore.
Michael came off his chair, clearly hating this outcome, wanting to fight it, helplessly conflicted because he couldn’t. ‘Was it the flight?’ he demanded. ‘I called Gianina to come here. It’s a long flight from Manila to Switzerland. The cabin pressure…’
‘No. it should not cause a miscarriage,’ the doctor assured him.
Michael looked wildly distraught. ‘We had sex. Just hours before the bleeding started.’
The doctor sighed. ‘Pregnancy does not preclude sex, Mr. Richards. If everything is normal…’
‘What do you mean….normal?’
‘I mean a miscarriage occurs when something is wrong,’ the doctor explained. ’That’s not to say that Miss Maria won’t carry a pregnancy to full tern another time around, just that this one wasn’t right. Nature has its own way of correcting its mistakes.’
A mistake…

She shouldn’t have let it happen, shouldn’t have pinned so much on it…planning a life around a child she loved, a child she’d stolen from Michael without his knowledge. That was wrong from the start. Not like Saicy and Robert. They had done it right.
‘Please…’ It was an anguished croak. She looked hard at the doctor, appealing for finality. ‘…let’s get on with it. Do what has to be done.’

CHAPTER 12.

Michael didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t help Gianina through this last grim procedure. It was out of his hands. The medical staff had wheeled her away. But he couldn’t bring himself to leave the hospital.

It was Friday. He should be contacting people or letting them contact him. He took out his celphone. He’d switched the power off last night. His finger hovered over the button.

No.

Impossible to even think about business, when Gianina…no life in her eyes…as dead as the child that might have been.

She’d wanted it.

And God help him, so had he.

He wandered around the hospital, had coffee, found a place to shave and freshen up. When he returned to the room, Gianina was sleeping

Michael wasn’t used to emotional turmoil. He made a plan and stuck to it, though always retaining his vision of where he wanted to go. The end goal.

Where Gianina Maria was concerned, his vision was very muddy. She kept knocking him off his straight-line thinking. The timing for a serious relationship was wrong, yet he had the sinking feeling that if he let her go now, he’d never get her back. And the wanting wasn’t even sexual anymore.

There was more to it. Difficult to define. Maybe it was the miscarriage messing him up, but it felt as though she was attached to some integral part of him and without her, there would be a very hollow place in his life that no one else would ever fill.

CHAPTER 13.

‘Gianina,’ he called urgently. ‘Should I get a nurse or doctor?’
Her head whipped around on the pillow. Startled eyes, ‘You’re still here?’
‘Are you okay?’
She sighed and carefully shifted her body to face him. ‘I’ll cope with it, Michael. You don’t have to stay and nursemaid me.’
I brought you to Switzerland, Gianina.’
‘I made the choice. I don’t hold you to blame for anything. And you’ve been more than generous, fixing all this for me. I’m sorry…’
‘Don’t apologize. I’m the one who should be apologizing.’
She looked bewildered. ‘What for.”
‘Because I…’ He gestured an appeal as he struggled for words to explain his feelings. ‘Because I did this to you,’ he finally got out.
‘No, Michael. I did this to myself,’ she said with firm clarity, then grimaced. ‘Though not the miscarriage.’ Her face started to crumple and she fought for composure. Michael stood up and paced around the room, wanting to take her in his arms and comfort her, yet sensing such move would be unwelcome. He wanted to reach out to her but he didn’t know how to. Never in his whole life had he felt so …inadequate, mentally floundering, and deeply frustrated by his inability to resolve what should be done with Gianina.
‘I want to go home, Michael.’

The flat statement pulled him up at the end of her bed. He stared at her—this woman who tugged so strongly on him. He didn’t see her beauty, her desirability. He saw the distance yawning between them, the determination in her eyes to break away from him.
‘I’m to stay her overnight,’ she said matter-of-factly. ‘But after the doctor sees me in the morning…if there’s no problem…I’ll contact the airport and …’
‘No. It’s too soon. You should give yourself more time to recover. I’ll take you back to the hotel and look after you, Gianina. At least stay the full week,’ he argued forcefully.

Her head rolled in a pained negative. ‘You only wanted me with you for sex, Michael.’ Her eyes mocked anything else he might say. ‘I can’t deliver,’ she said flatly. ‘And my staying would only make is both miserable, continually reminding us…’
She swallowed hard and close her eyes.
‘I don’t want to let you go like this,’ he burst out.
‘Please…’ Her throat moved convulsively. ‘…it would be…a kindness.’
Kindness… Michael was completely torn by that word. It forced him to examine his behavior towards her. Everything on his terms. Certainly he’d given her choices but there’d been no consideration for her feelings behind them. No kindness.
It was her right to have the last word now.
‘Leave it to me,’ he said with grim decisiveness. ‘I’ll call the airline and get you a return flight. I’ll make sure you’ll get a seat.’
She visibly sagged with relief. ‘Thank you.’ Her gaze dropped from his. Her fingers plucked at the bedcover. ‘I’m sorry about…I now the Academy Awards is a big night for you…’
‘Don’t worry about it. Right now I couldn’t care less.’ It was the truth.
‘I didn’t mean to …’
‘Gianina, please…’
The anguish in his voice flicked her gaze back to his, a pained wondering in her eyes. ‘You’ve been so good about all this, Michael. I promise I’ll pay you back. The hospital costs and …’
‘Stop!’ he glared at her. ‘It was my child, too. I would have paid anything to save it. At least grant me that right, Gianina.’
‘I’m sorry.’ Tears poured in her eyes. ‘I didn’t think…didn’t know…’
‘That I would care?’ he cut in savagely.
She nodded, biting her lips.
The anger that had so quickly surged, drowned just as quickly in the vulnerability of her eyes. He sucked in a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself.
‘Responsibility for the medical expenses is all mine,’ he said. ‘No argument. And I’ll get you on a flight home as soon as possible. Okay?’
‘Thank you.’ It was a husky little whisper. Her head was bent, lashes lowered, hiding her eyes.

CHAPTER 14.

‘Boarding call for Cathay Pacific flight CP12 to Manila. Will passengers please proceed to gate 212’
Gianina picked up her bag and rose quickly from the armchair, relieved that the strain of the hour with Michael was over. He slower to react to the announcement, unfolding himself from the chair rather than springing up.

This was the man she had chosen to father her child. The man she had recklessly loved. Forcing herself to face the inevitable end, she thrust out a hand and lifted her gaze to his.
‘Goodbye …’
The word exploded from him. Her hand was caught in both of his, the doubly possessive grip preventing her from pulling it free. His dark eyes probed hers with searing intensity, making her heart skipped even more painfully at this sudden impasse.
‘I don’t want you to leave, Gianina’
Sheer anguish voiced her reply, ‘Michael, it won’t work …’
‘I don’t mean the week I’d planned to spend with you,’ he rapped out dismissively. ‘This is something else.’
‘I have to go,’ she cried in panic, not believing that anything he suggested could be of any importance. ‘The flight has been called.’
‘We could fly to Las Vegas. Get married.’

She stared incredulously at him, ‘Get … married?’ Had she heard it right?

‘Yes, there’s nothing to stop us, is there? It won’t be the end of the world if you resigned from your job and stay with me.’
Her job meant nothing. Staying with him meant everything. Yet to ask her to marry him now …
All those questions yesterday and today … had he been considering this proposal all along? Seeing if she would fit the role of his wife? Gianina was utterly dumbfounded by this move. No way had she seen it coming. It was so sudden.
‘Gianina, we can have other children,’ he pressed, as though that was the ultimate persuasion.
‘No …’ She had to choke the word out. Her throat had tightened up. Her chest, too. She shook her head vehemently to get the message across.
‘You wanted a baby,’ he argued. ‘You wanted me to be the father. So let’s do it properly. Get married, set up a home …’
‘Stop! Please …stop!’ Her mind was spinning. He was offering the biggest temptation of all. Her heart was thumping a wild yes to it all, not caring why it was being offered, responding instinctively to the things she’d yearned to hear—married to Michael Richard, having a family…
He frowned at her resistance. ‘I swear I’ll look after you. I always live up to my commitments, Gianina.’
‘Once I give my word. …’ he went on.
‘Your word is not enough,’ she cried, desperate to reach into the heart of the man.
‘Why not?’ he challenged fiercely. ‘What more do you want?’
‘I want …’ Was she mad to push for more? But how could she bear to be his wife if she was just one of the woman he found desirable? It made her too vulnerable. Words spilled out, begging for the right response from him. ‘I want the man I marry to love me.’
‘Love …’ He shook his head as though it was some irrelevant concept. ‘Of course you’re very special to me,’ he declared impatiently. ‘Do you think I’d ask any woman to marry me?’
‘How special Michael?’ she challenged, needing to nail it down. ‘So special you don’t want to spend your life without me? No other woman will do?
‘Yes. That’s it. That’s precisely it.’
It sounded too glib, like he was quickly feeding back what she wanted to hear, no pause to express something deeply personal to him in his own words. It didn’t fill her soul with joy. She needed her love to be returned, not used.
She looked at him with all the emptiness she felt and laid her position on the line. ‘I don’t want to be a handy wife, Michael. I need my husband to think of me as irreplaceable. The one woman he wants above all others. I don’t believe you can honestly say that, so please … let me go now.’
‘Gianina …’ His hands gripped more tightly.
‘No,’ It took every scrap of her will to fight the blazing determination in his eyes. ‘You think better of this tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the next.’ She gave him a savagely ironic smile. ‘This, too, will pass.’
A battle light gleamed. ‘And if it doesn’t?’
That was his problem. She was sure he’d find some solution to it.
‘I’m going home,’ she threw at him, unable to take anymore argument with her heart and soul aching so badly. She wrenched her hand from his and held it up to ward off any further attempt to delay her.
‘Goodbye, Michael. Thank you for seeing me of.’
She left him without a backward glance, desperately certain in her own mind she was right to go. She was through making rash decisions where Michael Richards was concerned.
It was over …

CHAPTER 15.

‘Did you watch the Academy Awards on tv?’ Saicy asked, while they having coffee.
Gianina’s heart turned over. This had to be about Michael. ‘No,’ she said flatly. The flight home crossed the dateline, losing a day. If Michael had won an award he would have been presented with it while she was still flying over the ocean. Not that she would have watched the ceremony anyway. Why torture herself with might-have-been?
‘Michael won for achievement in visual effects.’ Saicy announced as though it was a triumph that she and Robert were still celebrating.
‘Well, good for him!’ Gianina responded, trying to inject some enthusiasm into her voice.
‘And you’ll never know what …’ Saicy ran on excitedly.
‘What?’ Gianina obliged.
‘He mentioned me and Robert in his acceptance speech.’
‘Well, that must have been a nice surprise.’ It surprised her, too.
‘And the fact we’re having a baby.’
Gianina’s stomach contracted.
‘I don’t know how he knew. Robert hadn’t told him. He must have got the news from his mother’s who’s very friendly with Robert’s mother.’
I told him.
‘Anyhow, there he was, up on the stage receiving an Oscar, and Robert and I were expecting him to rave on about the movie and thank all the people who’d helped to bring his vision to life, which he did, very briefly. Then he said …I know the words off by heart because we videoed it …so listen to this, Gianina.’
‘I’m listening,’ she said, her nerves in a total mess again.
‘I quote …’I guess it could be said this is a pinnacle of achievement for me. Creative achievement. But the far greater creation is a beautiful life. I’ve just heard that my oldest friend in Manila, Robert Woods, and his lovely wife, Saicy, are expecting a baby. Their first child. I think that’s worth more than a thousand Oscars. Congratulation, Robert.’
Their first child…
Had her miscarriage still been preying on his mind, above and beyond the crowning recognition of his work? Was he finding it much more difficult to set aside that it had been to set her aside? Her heart ached unbearably as Saicy rattled on.
‘Wasn’t that great? Robert was so thrilled. I couldn’t believe it, being named like that on an internationally televised show. And the applause was terrific. The camera followed Michael back to his seat in the auditorium. Robert was saying it would give the woman he was with ideas, but the odd thing was, he didn’t have anyone with him. The seat beside him was empty.’
Her seat.
Had she been …irreplaceable?
Had she been wrong to reject Michael’s proposal? Had she misunderstood his motives, misinterpreted his words and actions? Maybe he would have love her in time …
Stop it, stop it, stop it! She savagely berated herself.
It was done.
Finished.
Too late to take back
Gianina kept telling herself this, day after day, week after week. She worked hard at her job, avoided meeting Saicy in person, held endless one-sided conversation with her rabbits who listened sympathetically to her emotional outpourings and her best attempts at logical reasoning. In this regard, Rhett and Scarlet were her perfect companions.
She told herself she was managing okay …until the parcel came. It was a box—a box sent from Switzerland—and the sender’s name was Michael Richards.

CHAPTER 16.

Michael felt uncharacteristically tense as he belted himself into his seat for take off on the long flight from London to Manila. He vividly recalled the bitter irony of her words … This, too will pass. But it hadn’t. And it never would. He’d been trying to block Gianina Maria out of his mind for over a year. It had proved impossible. And now…now he couldn’t block her out of his heart. Nor did he want to. She was his woman. Somehow he had to undo the damage he’d done so she would accept him back into her life.

Had the rose started that process for him?
It has been a risky gamble, posting it to her. She’d remember him taking it out of her hair the night of Robert’ s wedding—a prelude to the intimacy they’d shared, after which he’d left her without a word. Would it mean anything to her that he’d taken the rose with him? She might think it had represented a crass souvenir of a great night of sex. He couldn’t blame her if she did. Yet it wasn’t true.

He’d kept the rose because instinctively he’d wanted to keep her. At the time he wouldn’t let himself go down the track. Not until he knew about the baby—how much it had meant to her—how much it had suddenly meant to him. Their child. His and Gianina’s. He’d been so blindly stubborn not to recognize it before.

Her walking away from him had been one hell of a wake-up call, underlining how she had read his behavior—every action totally self-centered, not even pausing to consider where she had been coming from, nor asking where she wanted to go.it had to be different this time. Very different. He was extremely conscious of the thin line he’d be treading. Any mistake…

Once again he thought the words he’d written—words he’d formulated and reformulated dozens of times during the weeks he’d already waited…

Gianina,
It’s long past the next day and the next and the next. No amount of time
Will wear away the connection I feel with you. Can we meet again?
I’ll be in Manila on the first day of May. There’s a rose garden in the
Botanical garden, just down Malate street entrance. From twelve noon I’ll be
There waiting for you.
Michael

If she didn’t come…every primitive male instinct pushed to go to her apartment and break down the door if necessary, smash any barrier she put up, take her in his arms, make wild passionate love to her, force her to respond.
But would such action work?
In the end the choice was hers.
What did Gianina want? That was the critical question. This meeting had to be based on giving not taking—persuasion, not force.
The jumbo jet started down the runway.
The die was cast.

CHAPTER 17.

The first day of May…

Gianina stood on the corner of Malate Street where the big iron gates to the botanical gardens where wide open. It was past noon. A steely pride had overridden her usual passion for punctuality. No way would she be found waiting for Michael. She’d allowed an extra half hour in case he’d run into unavoidable delays, but if his word meant anything, he should be in the rose garden by now.

Still the question hovered in her mind—to meet him or not? It would open everything up again. Yet…the rose he’d kept and sent to her…if she didn’t go and find out, the torment of wondering what she might have missed would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Her legs felt like jelly. It was a fine sunny day but it didn’t warm the chill in her heart. She forced her feet forward, determined now on her course. Signs directed her to the path she had to follow. It wouldn’t take long, she told herself, to know the outcome of this meeting.

The sheer physical impact if seeing Michael again caught her completely unprepared. Emotional turmoil ha clouded her memory of how it was with him. Her feet came to a dead halt as she took in the shock of his effect on her. A sense of panic jangled her nerves. It was dangerous, letting him get close again. She couldn’t trust herself not to respond to him. Before she could decide what to do about it, his head jerked up and his dark riveting gaze held her. No retreat possible.

He stood in one swift fluid action, then seemed to come towards her in slow motion, dominating her vision, mind and heart. She had no control over any of them, and in her stomach grew the sickening sense that nothing was ever going to change how she felt with Michael Richards. She was too deeply connected to him.

‘What do you want with me?’ she blurted out. The direct challenge halted him an arm’s length away, not far enough for her to feel safe, but at least giving her some space.
‘What do you want with me, Gianina?’ he returned quietly.
‘You speak first,’ she demanded, refusing to take the bait. ‘It was you who asked for this meeting, Michael. Not me.’
He nodded. A wisp of a smile curved his lips and his eyes softened with a caressing warmth. ‘I’m glad you came.’

‘I can go just as easily,’ she flashed back.
‘I know.’ He gestured to the bench seat. ‘Would you like to sit or stroll? A family group is coming down the path and we’re blocking it here.’
‘I’ll sit for a while,’ she decided, glad there were other people around. Being alone with Michael was not a good idea.
‘Have you just arrived in Manila?’ she asked
‘Yesterday.’
‘Is this a business trip?’
‘You’re my only business here, Gianina.’
‘You’ve come from London just to see me?’
‘Yes.’
‘No other purpose? No wedding, no award, no deal waiting in the wings that you have to hurry off to?’ she tossed out flippantly.
‘Not this time,’ he answered grimly.
‘What if I hadn’t turned up, Michael?’ she sneaked an quick look at him, wary of taking too much for granted.
He caught her glance and flashed a wry little smile. ‘I was considering that situation when you arrived. Should I respect your wishes or should I storm the barricades? I’m relieved not to have to make that decision.’
Storm the barricades… Her heart fluttered at the passion inherent in those words. Could she resist him? Did she want to? They reached the seat and she careful to keep some distance between them as they sat.
‘Okay, here I am. Tell me what this is about for you?’ she invited, deliberately evading looking at him. She was aware of him leaning forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
‘I was wrong not to make a place for you, Gianina,’ he said gruffly. ‘I don’t know if you can forgive all I haven’t done where you are concerned, but I swear I’ll do my best to make it up to you, if you’ll give me the chance.’
‘Give me one good reason, why would I give you another chance?’ she asked.
‘Because, I couldn’t keep you out of my mind. You haunted my nights.’
‘Because, I care a lot about you and wants to take care of you always.’
‘Because, your in my blood and I want to spend my whole life with you.’ He continued.
She shook her head, not comprehending what he meant. The compulsion to take what she could have of Michael had been overwhelming, but it will leave her with no pride at all. Because the one word that she needs to hear hasn’t been said.
‘Gianina…look at me!’ he commanded.
Her head snapped up. The angst in his eyes begged her belief.
He covered her hand with his, pressed a long, lingering kiss of warm promise on her palm. Gianina’s heart turned over. Before she dared think it, he said, ‘I love you Gianina Maria.’ Then…’Will you be my wife?’
‘Yes,’ she whispered.
His smile was dazzling—relief, joy, intense pleasure in her. Still holding her left hand, he reached into the pocket of his jacket and drew out a small jeweler’s box. Gianina stared in utter amazement as he flicked it open to reveal a huge diamond solitaire ring.
‘Diamonds are forever,’ he said with relish, and slid it onto the third finger of her left hand.
‘We’re going to do this right. Let’s make this a new start,’ he murmured.
They kissed.
And the connection between them went soul-deep.
There…in a garden full of roses.

CHAPTER 18.

SEPTEMBER…the day was bright and sunny, perfect for the wedding.
‘With your hair fluffed out over your shoulders and down your back, plus all those millions of glittering sequins, you kind of look like a mermaid, Gianina.’ Saicy remarked assessingly, then laughed as she gestured to her own appearance. ‘And I look like a whale.’
‘No, you don’t. You look absolutely beautiful, Saicy, and I’m sure Robert will tell you so.’
‘Just as well you choose midnight blue for me. It helps to minimize the lump,’ she sighed. ‘You could have waited another two months until after I’d had the baby. Having a matron of honour this pregnant is not fashionable.’
Gianina shook her head, smiling at the grumble. ‘Babies are always fashionable, before and after they’re born.’
‘I can’t see my feet anymore?’
‘What’s so great about your feet?’
‘They’re about the only part of me that hasn’t swelled up. Which is just as well because I’ll have you know I’ve done a lot of running around, getting this wedding right for you and Michael while you two did your jet-settling thing.’
‘I know, Saicy,’ Gianina kissed her cheek. ‘Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us.’
‘Well it wasn’t just me, Mum and Michael’s mother were wild to get in on the act, very eager to get the two of you married. I’m sure Mum thought it was a miracle that you finally found someone.’ Saicy raised a wagging finger. ‘And she wasn’t alone in that sentiment.’
Gianina grinned, recalling all her sister’s matchmaking efforts. ‘I didn’t find Michael. It was a blind date, remember?’
‘Yes, it is.’
With heartfelt pleasure beaming between them, Gianina couldn’t keep the secret to herself any longer. It has to be safe now. The doctor assured her all was well, and just this past week the scan had actually showed their baby sucking its thumb—so endearing it had brought tears to her eyes. Michael’s as well.
‘We’ll be sharing more than being in-laws, Saicy. I’m pregnant, too,’ she happily announced.
‘You’re not!’ It was a squeal of delight.
Gianina nodded.
Saicy clapped her hands. ‘Oh, this is marvelous! How far along?’
‘Almost four months.’
‘You’ve got a very secretive nature. No doubt about it. We didn’t even know you and Michael were an item until you announced your engagement. Honestly, Gianina, you could be a bit more forthcoming.’
‘Oh, I don’t know.’ Her eyes were deliberately teasing. ‘You do have a habit of telling me how to live my life, little sister.’
‘The cars are here!’ Their father yelled up the stair. ‘Are you girls ready?’
‘Yes, Dad,’ They chorused.
Saicy quickly pounced on the flowers she’d put on the bed. ‘Why did you choose to carry just a single red rose, Gianina?’
She smiled, picking it out of the florist’s box. ‘It has its meaning.’
She lifted the perfect velvety bloom to smell its glorious scent. Not an artificial rose…a real one…as real as the love she and Michael had for each other.

----------

The wedding guests were milling around the garden at GeeMick, a highly fashionable restaurant/reception centre Gianina and Michael had chosen, mostly because of its site on top of Tagaytay, overlooking the Lake Taal.
Everyone was clearly in a festive mood, enjoying the spectacular views as they waited for the bridal party to arrive. Michael and Robert stood closer to the cliff top reminiscing their long friendship.
‘If a house comes up for sale close to yours, Robert, let me know.’
‘Great idea!’
‘Our kids could play together during vacations.’
‘Yeah…’ A cocked eyebrow. ‘You and Gianina thinking of starting a family soon?’
Michael grinned. ‘One already on the way.’
Robert punched his arm. ‘You sly dog, you. Does your mother know?’
‘Only just now. I whispered in her ear and her face lit up like a Christmas tree/’
‘I can imagine. She’s over the moon about your marrying Gianina. And just you remember, I did tell you right from the start she was a knockout.’
‘You did,’ Michael happily conceded. ‘And punctual.’ He checked his watch. ‘Five minutes to go. We’d better line up with the celebrant.’

---------------
He watched her come to him down the makeshift aisle, sunshine gleaming on her glorious hair. Her dress glittered like a brilliant light on water. She seemed to flow towards him. This is his wife to be, the woman who carried his child…the scan had revealed a boy…their son.

She smiled at him, her beautiful eyes glowing golden with love. He smiled back, knowing beyond any shadow of doubt this woman was utterly unique and irreplaceable, the one and only woman he would ever love. He saw she carried a single red rose and knew it represented her love for him—the giving and taking that was not a game, but an essential part of the marriage they both wanted.

He held out his hand to her. She slid hers over his palm and he closed his fingers around it.
Together, he thought.
It had felt right at the very beginning.
He knew it was right now, and would be so for the rest of their lives.
