Mafia Series 5: Blake Nixon Wartter (Completed)

Chapter Ten

THEIR HONEYMOON IS OVER. Kung honeymoon nga ba ang matatawag dun. They didn't stay at their suite to make love all day and all night like what newly weds supposed to do. Instead, they bond outside to enjoy and visit famous places out there. That is how they celebrate their honeymoon, no intercourses involve. Just purely bonding like a boyfriend and girlfriend.

Because of that they became close and open to each other. Its like, they are in getting to know each other with a marriage status in it.

"Hon?" Lexel immediately turn her gaze to Blake whose pouting his lips while looking at her. Natawa naman si Lexel dahil dun. Alam niya kung ano ang nginunguso-nguso ng asawa.

Yeah, husband. Tanggap niya na na kasal na siya at asawa niya ang extra jumbo na 'to. She just realized na may point naman si Blake sa mga sinasabi nito noong nasa abroad sila. Why not give a try to their marriage right? They are married now after all, may mga iilang arrange marriage naman na nagwwork. She is just hoping na sana isa ang marriage nila ni Blake roon.

"Cut that pouty lips of yours hon. Masyado pang maaga para manglandi ka." Natatawang sagot niya lang habang hinahanda ang nilutong almusal nila.

Since they are married. Sa bahay siya ni Blake nakatira. Pero napag-usapan naman nilang mag-asawa na kapag busy sila sa kanya-kanyang trabaho, they can stay sa mga condo nila lalo na't may kalayuan ang bahay nila sa mga workplace nila. She is working as a secretary of a well known company. Schoolmate niya ang may-ari nun actually.

Blake insisted na mag-resign na lang siya but she disagree immediately. She loves her work, masaya siya sa ginagawa niya at kahit pa isa sa mayayaman at kilalang tao ang asawa, hindi siya magrresign sa trabaho niya. Blake offered her as to become his secretary but she just laugh and say no to him. Knowing her husband, ngayon pa lang na medyo close na sila ay lumalabas na ang pagiging maharot. Marupokpok pa naman siya. Ayaw niyang mahulog agad agad sa asawa ng walang kasiguraduhan na sasaluhin siya nito.

Yes they talk about working out this marriage but she doesn't think that 'love' is included on their agreement. Because they can be good husband and wife even if they don't love each other right? She doesn't want to assume na may gusto sa kanya ang asawa gaya ng atraksyon na nararamdaman niya para rito. She is fine and contended sa kung ano ang meron sila ngayon, all she have to do is enjoy it for now.

'I hope we'll level up our marriage.'

"Hon? Hon?"

Mabilis na napakurap si Lexel at napatingin kay Blake na kunot noong nakatingin sa kanya.

"Yes? I'm sorry may sinasabi ka, hon?"

"Wala naman. You're just spacing out. Are you okay?" Nag-aalalang tanong nito at lumapit sa kanya. Agad siyang naestatwa sa kinatatayuan ng abutin nito ang baba niya at salatin ang leeg niya at noo.

"Your temperature is normal. Ayos ka lang ba? Napagod ka ba sa byahe natin? Ako na tatapos ng gawain mo pagkatapos nating mag-almusal."

Mabilis naman siyang umiling sa sinabi ng asawa. Nginitian niya ito tinapik sa balikat.

"No,no. I'm fine. May iniisip lang ako okay? C'mon, mag-almusal na tayo, baka malate sa trabaho mo."

Tiningnan lang siya ni Blake at maya-maya ay tumango na rin ito at nginitian siya.

"Okay, I thought you were bothered about my morning kiss request." Natawa namans siya sa sinabi nito, umiling lang siya sa asawa at hindi na sumagot.

Mabilis silang natapos mag-almusal. Blake drive her to her workplace bago ito pumasok sa sariling trabaho. Ang gaan ng pakiramdam niya ng mga oras na iyon habang naglalakad papasok sa building na kanyang trinatrabahuan. Nakangiti siya habang naglalakad at minsan ay mahinang natatawa dahilan para mapatingin sa kanya ang ibang empleyado. But she doesn't care, she is happy and no one can ruin her day.

"Ganda naman ng gising ng maganda kong secretary." Nginisihan lang ni Lexel si Xylah na nooy nasa tapat ng table niya sa labas ng opisina nito.

"Good morning ma'am." Bati niya rito.

Xylah Zhavia Chan is her boss. They're not really close to each other, they are just civil. Xylah is gorgeous and sexy. College pa lang sila ay marami ng nagkakandarapa rito. Matalino, mayaman at mabait according sa mga classmates niya dati. Pero kahit ganun, there is something inside her na parang nagsasabi na wag siyang makipaglapit dito, you know, the vibes kapag gusto mo ang kaharap or not.

Bagong assigned lang ito as the CEO. Dati kasi ang mommy nito ang nakaupo at pingtratrabahuan niya, but now its Xylah.

Naglakad siya patungo sa table niya at doon umupo. Akala niya umalis na ang amo at pumasok sa loob ng opisina nito pero hindi. Kaya naman nag-angat siya ng tingin dito at nagtanong.

"Ahm? May iuutos po ba kayo?"

Hindi niya alam kung bakit kinabahan siya bigla ng ngumiti ito sa kanya. Her smile is different and scary at the same time. Hindi niya tuloy mapigilan ang hindi mapakunot noo rito.

"Ma'am?" Pagtawag niyang muli.

"Oh, sorry. I was just envy to you. You know, being the wife of the famous and hot Blake Nixon Wartter. Women flocks to his feet just to get his attention. Also, I heard na magaling daw yan sa kama, kaya you're so lucky because you are his wife."

Hindi siya nagsalita o tumango sa sinabi nito. She just smile at her boss remarks. She can't get her point kaya tahimik lang siya.

"Aren't you bother?"

"Saan naman po?" Kunot noong tanong niya sa tanong din nito.

"Sa mga babae sa paligid ng asawa mo. I mean, your husband is very handsome, kahit pa alam na ng karamihan na kasal siya ay arranged marriage lang naman iyon-opps! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

Gustong mapangisi ni Lexel sa isipan. Her bitchy side wants to show but she remain calm and collected. She can't feel the sincerity of sorry at her boss voice. It's like, she is implying something and she knows already what is it.

'Bitch!'

"I'm not bothered ma'am. Yes, our marriage may be arrange but my 'husband' and I already talk about that. We want to work out our marriage, we want to give it a try and also I know, that my husband would never ever cheat on me." She said with a confidence on her voice. Pinagdiinan niya pa ang salitang 'husband' sa harap ng amo.

Lihim siyang napangisi ng makita ang inis sa mata nito na agad ding nawala at napalitan ng pekeng ngiti.

"Good to hear that. Just a little advice, always keep your eyes to your husband. Bantayan mo ng maiigi, ikaw din, baka bigla yang mawala at makuha ng iba." Ani nito na may pekeng ngiti. She can sense the mocking smirk of her voice pero asa namang magpapatalo siya rito.

"I trust my husband ma'am. When he say no, then I believe him. His past won't bother me, and that is including his flings. Those 'women' will stay as his past flings. Pampalipas ng oras at parausan. Nothing more, nothing less."
