CODE'S ADDICTION

Chapter 10

Trissalia Pearl

They say life is short so you have to enjoy yourself in everything in this world, like jump in a fence, get a tattoo, get laid, or get drunk until dawn, et cetera.

But that's not what I think.

Life is short only to those who knows when they will die. And enjoyment is everywhere, either sitting on a bus, listening to you favorite music, or doing your usual life. It means doing anything what we are comfortable with. We don't have to do extraordinary things just to call it enjoyment.

My eyes roam around while my pace fastened as I look for Code. Five minutes ago, he texted me that he's already near the café I told him. Ang gusto niya pa nga ay sa harap mismo kami ng firm magkita but I insisted that we should meet on the nearest place.

Ngumiti ang kaloob-looban ko nang makita siya mula sa glass wall ng café na abala sa pagkalikot ng cellphone. He looks serious while doing that and I could not help but be mesmerize of how gorgeous he is. Napahinto ako sa paglalakad ng biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko kaya agad ko itong mula sa bulsa at nang mabasa ang pangalan niyang tumatawag sa akin ay mas lumawak ang ngiti ko. He's calling me but I'm already here. Only few steps away from him.

Imbes na sagutin ay hinakbang ko ang natitirang layo mula sa kinapupwestuhan niya at tsaka kinatok ang glass wall na siyang tanging nagbubukod sa aming dalawa. Hindi na ako pumasok pa sa loob dahil aalis naman na kami. Code draw his head outside where our eyes instantly meet.

My heart pounded like its seen the reason why it's still beating. It's hurting me but at the same time, I'm liking the pain.

Sandali siyang napakurap bago ilapat ang kamay niya sa babasaging pader. Nakangiti siya na parang nakatingin sa napakagandang tanawin kaya wala sa sariling ipinatong ko ang kamay ko na para bang dama ko siya sa kabila ng nakaharang sa amin. Napangiti rin ako dala ng pagduyan sa akin ng mala-dagat niyang mga mata.

It was a short dramatic scene but it made me relax. It made me breathe for a moment after all the things happened today.

"Come out," I said, unsure if he heard it from inside or just followed the movement of my lips because he smilingly stood up. Hinintay ko siya sa labas at nang makalapit ito sa akin ay walang pahintulot niyang pinagsalikop ang kamay namin at tsaka mabilis akong hinalikan sa labi.

"What did you just do?" Nakataas ang kilay na hinarap ko siya.

He raised our entwined hands before looking at me amusingly. "Couple greeting, doll. It's normal because you're my wife and I'm your husband."

Oh, Code. I wish you have any idea of what you are doing right now.

"Does that validate your actions? What if I don't like it?" I seriously ask but inside, I just want to play with him. I've seen this video on internet about pranking your husband and I was thinking of doing it, too. I just want to see his reaction.

Mindset, ba. Mindset.

"I doubt you don't like it. Nobody could resist my charm, Mrs. Attorney."

I lick my lower lip to abstain my self from bursting. Mrs. Attorney, huh.

"Are you saying I'm not the only one you're flirting?" I clench my jaws trying to resist my laugh when he shockingly looks back at me. Pareho kaming nahinto sa tapat ng kotse niya.
