Million Dollar Baby

I am just a simple person with big dreams in life. One of them is to give my mom a good life.

Not to brag but I am a talented person. When I was in high school I was a varsity player of the volleyball team. I am also a good dancer and singer.

As for the food, I can consider myself as a full package. Yes, really! I'm proud of me because its all true. Hahaha!

I graduated from college with a BS Business Administration course, the only problem is that I have a hard time finding a job now because I am a fresh graduate and do not have much experience.

Taking photos is also one of my hobby during my leisure time.

My life is happy. Mommy and I are okay, we live our lives to its fullest. We eat three times a day.

Not until this crazy stranger came in to my life. I'm just surprised that every time I go out he follows me. And do you know what he is asking for me? Good heavens!

You'd better don't know because you will be stressed like me. Like how he's stressing me.

Who is as sensible as a man to ask for a child from a woman he does not even know?

And you know what? if he can demand me to give him a baby, its like he's only asking for a piece of candy that you can give him anytime.

He's really a pain in my head! Ugh!

He wanted me to conceive his future child in exchange for a million dollars. Maybe if I was also a desperate woman I would most likely have agreed to his wishes.

Who wouldn't refuse the grace he offered? Like duh, it worth a million dollars! Guys, its million dollars!

But because I'm not a desperate woman so it's a NO for me! I don't want, never!

Even though I am just a simple woman, just like I said before, I also have big dreams.

And as a dreamer, I also have dreams for myself, especially in my love life.

Look! I am NBSB here, 'No Boobs Since Birth',

Kidding!

What I mean is, 'No Boyfriend Since Birth.' My dream is to marry the person I love and love me as much as I love him. My dream is to have a family with the man I love whom I will marry.

After all, will that crazy man just ruin my dream?

No way!

I will not allow him, I do not want!

No way! Never!

But wait, how can I escape that desperate man?

Hmm.

Can I just retouch my face so that he'll not recognize me at all?

Oh, I forgot.

I don't have that big amount of money to spend.

Ugh! What should I do now?

Wah! What to do? He knows my name, the address of my house, he also knows that mommy and I are the only two together in the house.

That stalker is really a damn! What did he see in me to ask for a child, right away? Is it because I am beautiful and sexy?

He's smart too, huh! That crazy man also knows how to choose a good race. But still it's a big NOOOO!

"Hey! Sofia wait up!"

Oh God! He's then again here!

I think I need to...

Run!

Before that crazy man caught me, I started running as far as I can.

"Ouch!"

I shouted in pain after I fell down to the ground.

"Stupid rocks!" I blame the rocks in my way causing why I fell down.

Because of what happened, the crazy man finally caught me.

"There you are!" He carried me like I am a sack of rice.

"You crazy!" I shouted him but he seems like he don't hear me, or should I say, pretend like didn't hear me!

Alexus Point of View :

"Good morning Ma," I greeted my mother as I entered the kitchen to have my breakfast. I also kissed her on her cheeks.

"Good morning too Hijo, how's your sleep?"

"It's good," I answered sparingly.

"Good morning Pa," I greeted Papa who was busy reading.

"Good morning," Dad also greeted me back without taking his eyes off the newspaper he was holding.

"Let's eat honey, just continue reading later." Dad quickly obeyed what mama said.

"Alexus, we talked to your Dad and if you can give us a grandson--"

* Cough / cough *

I coughed one after another after choking on the coffee I was drinking.

"Are you okay son?"

"Careful son!"

"Ma! Pa! What are you talking about? I almost died here oh!" I can't believe I told them.

"Dead right now?"

"Ma naman!"

"We are serious son, we are not tolerating your mother anymore. We want a grandchild soon."

They seem to be serious about what they are asking to me. But how can I do that if my girlfriend Nicole is not ready to marry me? I already proposed to her 3 times, but she said she was not ready yet and I could do nothing but wait until she was ready.

"Mom, Dad, you know Nicole is busy. Look, my girlfriend is an international model. Even if we get married we will not be able to give you a child,"

"That's our point son, if she doesn't want to marry you, then find someone who's ready to settle with you."

"Ma, stop it! You sounds like it's easy? I love Nicole and I'm willing to wait for her, no matter how long it takes."

"Alexus, do you hear yourself? Nicole is not a material wife, that woman is full of ambition. You have nothing to expect from her."

"Well, I'm old enough. I know what I am doing. I'll wait for Nicole, she's the only woman I want to be the mother of my future child."

I don't want to go any further where my parents and I talked about nothing. So before I could utter a word I quickly stood up at the dining table.

"Where are you going?" Mom stopped me.

"I need myself to cool down,"

"Your father and I are serious about this Alexus. Whether like it or not, you will give us a grandson. We are giving you the opportunity to find a woman who is willing to give you that.

I clenched my two fists because of mama's threatening voice. It seems like I have no choice but to allow Nicole to marry me so that we can make .. ugh! Damn that baby!

"Or else, your Dad and I will force you to marry the daughter of his comparator."

Am I going to marry the child of her comparator? Which, the female caterpillar? Fvcking no!

"No! You will not do that to me!"

"Try us son,"

What kind of soul merged with my parents' body to ask me grandchild right away? Fvck this life!

I went straight to the bar owned by my friend Dylan to think.

"What are you doing here man? In this hour are you at the bar? Woah!" I just looked at Dylan seriously. I think he knows I have a big problem.

"Nice! Are you here too? Hahaha we are friends oh!" Calvin, on the other hand, who is happy with the troops, seems to be teasing his kind of introductory greeting.

"So what's the problem? You and Nicole are fighting?" Felix, on the other hand, is serious about the troop. He is the one who has nothing to worry about as long as what he wants to say, he will really say.

We are four friends and we are all millionaires. Apart from our rich parents, we also have our own businesses in different parts of the country. When we get together it seems like we are just normal people. You will not notice that we are full of wealth because we are not showy people like others with only a few outlets who are immediately arrogant.

What businesses do we run? Next you just find out it's tiring to tell a story especially since I still have a big problem.

"Nope, it's not about me and Nicole." I answer Felix's question.

"Your parents?" Calvin asked.

"Yap."

"Why, what happened?" Dylan.

"They want a grandchild," I said frustrated.

Dylan and Calvin started laughing like crazy!

"Seriously as in Baby?"

"Are you guys my friend?" They quickly became serious after I covered my sharp eyes with them.

"Why are their aunts and uncles still fighting now where Nicole just renewed her contract with Italy, right?"

"Yeah, maybe they really don't want Nicole for you?"

"You two stop when you see that the person is already in trouble, you will still be on fire!"

See? Felix is ​​just my friend of the three of them. He is the only one who has matured mind compared to the two.

"What are you up to?"

"I know Nicole, no matter how I convince her, she will not allow it, especially when it comes to pregnancy,"

"By the way, why don't you look for a woman who can get pregnant for you and Nicole?"

"How?"

"With money."

"What do you mean?" I clarify to Dylan.

"Find a woman who you can pay to get pregnant, then after she gave birth you will take the baby and treat it like you and Nicole's child."

"Somehow Dylan has contributed sensibly," Felix said laughing. The madman scored pogi points.

"Who else would allow such a thing?" Calvin opposed Dylan.

"As far as money is concerned, nothing will stop there Calvin," Dylan defended his suggestion.

"I will choose the woman, so that you can challenge Alexus, the first woman to enter that door is the one you will approach for the problem you are involved in." I looked at Felix who was just seriously staring at the bar door.

We waited for about half an hour for the first woman to enter the bar before finally someone entered.

"Yown!"

Calvin reacted immediately when our wait was finally over.

"Come closer," I almost sank into the cement after Dylan pushed me.

"Opps, sorry for the speed!"

I adjusted the collar of the shirt I was wearing before walking closer to the woman. Based on its appearance, this bar is not really its purpose. She was wearing formal attire and carrying a brown envelope. It looks like she just got lost here.

"You don't have free water? I'm really thirsty,"

"There really is no ma'am, this is not a restaurant ma'am."

"Ah is that so? All right thank you,"

I do not know if I will laugh or be amazed at her ignorance. I just found myself following her.

Because she was in a hurry to take a taxi, she did not realize that she drop the brown envelope she was holding earlier.

I quickly picked it up and I smiled after I confirmed that it's her resume, the content of that envelope. That is all her information is contained.

Sofia's Point Of View :

"Goodluck baby!" Mom said as she kissed me on my cheeks.

"Thank you Mommy! I hope this time I will be accepted by the company I am applying for,"

"Just trust yourself, you will be accepted as well." She said to boost my confidence.

"Yes, mom. Thanks again," I kissed her on her cheeks too, to say my goodbye.

"No worries, you go ahead you might be late."

"All right, mom," I smiled as I walked out of the house.

As I take my every steps, I felt like someone's following me. But every time I stopped to look behind me, no one was there.

If it was night maybe today I might be scared, in case it was morning so whoever is stupid next to me will take care of it. I just ignored the stupid creature I was feeling from afar watching over me.

I frowned as I left the Mall because unfortunately, I was never accepted again.

Imagine, I graduated from the course BS Business Administration! Then even being a sales lady, I am not qualified for?

What the hell is going on?

Am I being deceived by the world?

Hey, if you're all wondering how fast I got to the Mall while I was just walking?

What do you guys want, to tell you how many hours I waited for the car and how many steps I walked? Don't do it, this is my story so don't do it! I bite people!

When I came out of the mall I once again felt that someone's really following me.

How did I felt it? I just felt it, okay?

I really feel like someone is watching me. Whoever this stupid is, he'll make sure that he can give me a job! Because if he don't, I can really make him bald.

Because I was really curious what his purpose was, I thought of a way to catch him.

You might say again, it's good that I have a mind?

If course there is, how about you?

I just continued my walk and when I got to a corner right I saw a place I could hide. I also hid in this corner for a few minutes.

I knew it! I also caught the stupid. A tall man is now looking around every corner of this vacant lot.

He also tries to look at every passing person.

I'd rather hide in-wait, am I in the trash? Wtf!

Yes, I hid well here in a can of piles of rotten garbages. How stupid of me!

Hmm, in fairness! He has a look. He is handsome in his maroon polo and jeans and he is still tall. He looks fragrant looking too!

I made him look with my beautiful eyes then I went out of my hiding place, it 's hard for me to smell garbage, my beauty is ruined right?

Yes, I have beauty, only you guys do not have it.

"What do you think you're doing my dearest stalker?" I directly asked him after I came out of my hiding place.

Supposedly I also acted annoyed to him because this is how it used to be as social as I used to be when I watched drama series.

He was also shocked by what I did. He thought maybe I didn't notice him following me from the house to the Mall where I came from.

"I'm asking you.."

"I-I just want to-"

"-you just want to?"

It took so long for him to speak so I preceded him.

"I just want to have a baby with you." I almost got out of balance because of what he said.

"What? Are you f*ckin' insane?" Am I being fooled by this man? What did he think of me?

"I am not, but I'm desperate." He answered.

"Talk to the ground!" I shouted to his face.

I quickly turned my back on him but before I could take a step he grabbed my arm causing me to bump into his chest.

My suspicion was correct earlier, he smells good. It was as if I wanted to keep sniffing him. Not until I remembered that I must have to act social, so I restrained myself from biting him, he really smelled good.

"I'm serious here Sofia, please talk to me."

"Wait, how did you know my name? Are you a stalker?"

Of course, he's next to me, right? Then he called me by my name. Confirmed! He is a stalker.

"It seems like that, go ahead please give me a child I am willing to pay no matter how much."

This man looks really desperate. What did he think of what he was saying? That make him so easily of demanding? He was like a child just asking for a candy from his mother.

I can't believe him!

"You know what? I don't care and I am not interested with you! For your information, I am not just a woman you can ask for the child you say. I am a woman with dignity! I also-"

"Yes! Stop the amount you say, as if I'm asking you, right?" He said frustrated.

"Wow, huh? I'm just telling you! Because maybe you suddenly appear in front of me because you thought it was easy to just get me. Well, no way!" I shouted him.

Just wait, why am I wasting my time on this crazy man? Tsk. I'll gotta leave.

"Where are you going?" He said stopping me.

"At home, where do you think I am going?" I replied sarcastically.

"I'm not yet done talking to you Sofia." He added.

"But me? I am done talking to you!"

I said calmly to him and turned my back on him with matching flip hair, so that I would look really cursed, even though I was a real mongoloid.

"Wait," he said again as he grabbed my arms. He's not obvious that he's hobby is grabbing someone's arms right away, right? I can really bite him! Damn!

Doesn't he know that even though I am No Boyfriend Since Birth, still I am a woman who knows how to attract to men? If only I hadn't really restrained myself he'll see what he's looking for!

"Brother have mercy on me please, I am a minor, I am only seventeen years old and I am not ready for what you are asking for." I raised both my hands as I told him that.

"Hahaha maybe your height fits at the age of seventeen , but you're already 21, Miss Sofia Marie Hidalgo, aren't you?"

If I was craving for this stupid stalker earlier, now I am really scared!

How did he knows my full name? My real age? I step back three times away from him.

"B-brother, please don't. Have mercy on me please, if you killed me my poor mommy will be alone for the rest of her life."

'Will you take me to my mischief please? Please, please?' I silently praying for him to give mercy on me.

"Hahahaha what? I am not a murderer. I am not a fvcking killer!" He depended himself from me.

"By the way, I am Alexus Dean Smith." He introduced himself. He also held out his hand to me and because he was socializing me, of course I accepted his hand and shook it. Its so soft! It looks softer than mine.

"All right, I'm going home and I'll look for a job tomorrow." I told him, but he really had no intention of letting me go.

"No!" He, for the nnth time stopped me.

"No your face! I am a normal person and I will not accept what you offer! So, get lost!" I ran quickly to escape that desperate man. It was really good and I escaped him. When I got home I was surprised because there was a blue car parked in front of our house.

'When did mom had a visitor?' I asked myself.

To answer the questions in my mind, I hurriedly went inside the house. My eyes almost popped out after I saw this Alexus, the desperate stalker man who was asking for a child from me! Yeah, he's inside the house.

He's really a desperate!

How dare him drink a coffee inside my house. He also went here but he didn't accompanied me. He's not a gentleman!

"It's you again?" I shouted because of what I found out.

"Baby, don't shout at your boyfriend." My mom stopped me.

"My boyfriend?" I asked mama in shock.

"Yes," mom answered happily.

Why I didn't know that- that stupid man was my boyfriend? Why?

"Hey, let's talk!" I quickly pulled Alexus out of the house.

"Does it mean you agree?" He asked with a smile.

"Agree? What do you think of me desperate? No way!"

Ugh! Why he can't understand that I am not taking his offer? He's so hard headed!

"Please sofia, please give me a baby," I do not know if I will feel sorry for him who is now kneeling in front of me and begging me to give him a child or I will cry in great annoyance and kick him now.

He's frustrating me. Damn it!
