The Playboy's Marriage

Chapter Fourteen

~But PLAYBOY was liberating. I was drawn to it and went for it full throttle

Isabel

I signed out of the office and met Steven on my way out,"Hi Steven". I smiled at him.

He walked past me instead intentionally bumping his shoulder into mine in an hard way. Ouch.... what's wrong with him?

Lopéz was seated in his car patiently for me to come out,I was surprised he actually waited for me! I wasn't excepting that at all.

He was being cautious though,he doesn't want to be seen or noticed by anyone- that was probably what the face cap and shades were for. I smiled at that. I never thought I'll be alive to see Lopéz not wanting any attention on him.

He called the moment he noticed me,"What are you standing there for?hop in wifey".

"You shouldn't have waited that long,why are you here anyway?".I asked him after I got in his car.

"I wanted to pick you up, Marquez told me this was where you worked......I wanted to see for myself".He smirk.

"Don't appear in my workplace unannounced like that though".I tsk."I'm already dealing with the rumours of me being a golddigger".

"Golddigger?who the fuck dares call my wife that?!".He snapped angrily.

Why's he angry?he doesn't care about me or image....does he?

Of course not Isabel! he's just faking it

"Don't act innocent either,you called me that too!".I accused.

"Cause I'm the only one allowed to call you names, I'm also the only one allowed to give you nicknames.....no one should do that for me".

I glanced at him surprised,he sounded so serious you would think he cares for me or my image but knowing him better I know he doesn't.

"You look really happy today".I observed with a chuckle."You won a lotto?".

"Something better".

"Marquez wants our divorce?".

"More bigger and better".

"Just tell me! I'm not really good at guessing". I find myself excited and curious too.

"I'm finally going to live my dream Isabel, I'm finally going to be under a modeling agency".He said with so much pride and happiness.

"I thought you had no courage".

"Well a pretty Barbie doll told me courage comes when you really want something badly-", he looked at me and smiled,"I just had to adhere to her rules".

I looked at him too and smiled back. He listened to me- that's a first. God my toes are curling again.. help!

"Thank you Isabel".

I nodded slowly. "So where are we off to now?".

"To celebrate, I'm badly craving for grilled meats and pork".

I chuckled."Now that you say it, I'm craving for it too".

He stopped by at a small restaurant. Lopéz wouldn't stop showing me some different sides of him that I never thought I would know. I always thought he would keep it classy like he always bragged about but he chooses to eat here?

"Let's go in".He held my hand gently and took a seat for me.

"How do you know this place?". I couldn't help but ask.

"What?you didn't think I'll be able to come here for some food?",he laughed,"I'm human too".

"This place used to be my home".He suddenly commented.
