Chapter 10

Jealous

"Thank you for staying by my side..." Castiel said to me.

And I just gave him a reassuring smile.

"And I'm sorry about last night..." He sighed.

"What about it?"

Tumingin pa siya sa driver na kasama namin sa loob ng sasakyan. And we're both seated at the backseat. "I shouldn't have asked you about it, but... I guess I was just a bit jealous..."

My eyes widened a fraction. What did he say? He's jealous...

Kinalma ko ang sarili ko. "Jealous of what?" I asked him.

Tumingin naman siya sa akin. And he gave me this look on his face like he's shy or something... "That you like someone?"

Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa. Umiling din siya. "I'm sorry." He sighed.

Nanatili naman ang tingin ko sa kaniya. I was trying to process what he said in my mind. I haven't been into any relationship before. At tingin ko nga sa kay Castiel pa lang din ako naging pinaka-close na isang lalaking kaibigan...

But I'm not stupid. I'm aware that there are things this. Things like jealousy...

And then I calmly asked him next. "Why would you feel jealous over Neil—or over someone you think I like?"

Hindi siya agad nakasagot.

While I remained looking at him. And then I asked him straightforward. "Do you like me, Castiel?"

Nagkatinginan muli kaming dalawa.

At wala na rin akong pakialam sa driver na maaring nakikinig sa usapan namin.

"Do you have feelings for me?" I asked him again.

And his eyes just widened a fraction as he looked at me.

Feelings.

I know for a fact that human beings have feelings. Just like when Neil confessed his feelings for me back then.

And I wasn't able to give him my answer because I didn't know about my feelings yet back then. Hindi ko napagtutuunan ng atensyon noon ang sariling nararamdaman.

At nito ko lang naramdaman sa sarili ko na may nararamdaman na rin ako...

Kagaya siguro ng pakiramdam na sinabi sa akin noon ni Neil. But it's just that my feelings right now aren't for him...

Castiel looked away. I don't know why but I think I'm being amused right now of what he's showing me that he's like a shy boy looking away after being confronted...

I can't help it but to smile a little. At hinayaan ko na lang muna siya hanggang sa makarating na kami sa bahay.

But then I remember Erica and Castiel's feelings for her, too...

Ano nga ba talaga si Erica para sa kaniya?

"I like you, Hasmine." Castiel said when we're already at home.

Pinauwi na lang muna kami sa bahay nina Daddy at Madam. Because of what just happened earlier today. Magpahinga na lang daw muna kami sa bahay ngayon, and just go back to work on Monday. I think may mga aayusin pa rin sina Daddy at Madam Villarama after what happened with Hazel Villarama-Corpuz today.

He said he like me. But then, what kind of like? Does he like me as a friend? Or because I and my family help him and his family.

And how about Erica? He might be in love with her...

Inisip ko na siguro ay nadadala na rin si Castiel ng emosyon niya ngayon. Especially that he's here now in Manila with me. At wala na siya sa Cebu. Wala pa siyang mga kaibigan dito. And he's far from Erica right now.

Kaya siguro nababaling na lang din niya sa akin ang atensyon niya ngayon.

And I think that we're married now, anyway...

Na kahit mag-divorce pa kami pagdating ng araw, we're still once married. And whatever we do today is legal and I think just all right...

I can also ask Castiel. I can confront him now about Erica. But maybe, ang mali ay talagang nasa akin. I didn't want to know the truth. I wasn't ready to learn about it for real yet...

And right now I just want to live and stay in my married life with Castiel...

I shrugged my shoulders slowly after that. "Well, I guess, I like you, too, Castiel..." I said it and was only trying to be nonchalant about it...

But alam ko sa sarili ko that I mean it...

Humakbang ako palapit pa lalo sa kaniya. We're now inside our house. At dumeretso rin kami sa kwarto naming mag-asawa para makapagpalit na rin muna ng damit na pambahay at mas komportable. Because were still in our corporate attire. And it's not a very good outfit with the weather we have here in the Philippines. Kahit pa nga may aircon ay minsan mainit pa rin sa pakiramdam ang panahon dito.

Nakatingin muli kami sa mga mata ng isa't isa pagkatapos ng sinabi ko na gusto ko rin siya.

But there are many types of like, right? But whatever like he's talking about right now, I will accept it. And I will blindly succumb to my own feelings...

Bumaba ang mga mata niya sa mga labi ko. Humakbang naman ako palapit pa lalo sa kinatatayuan niya.

Anyway, we didn't have our honeymoon yet...

And we're titled to consummate our marriage as a married couple, right?

Wala na muna akong pakialam sa ibang bagay sa ngayon...

At tumingin na rin ako sa mga labi niya.

Pagkatapos ay unti-unti siyang yumuko para mahalikan ako sa labi...

We already kissed once during our wedding. But it was just a gentle yet quick kiss on the lips. But right now it's different...

Castiel was kissing me with more passion.

And with need...

And I equaled that need.

We've known each other since three years ago. At nakilala ko na rin si Castiel. Although I might not know him completely yet. But I learned to like him... I learned to love him...

Maybe it's true what people say about a person who's in love, that they tend to become stupid...

Because I feel stupid right now... I'm being stupid now... But then, I still want this. I still want him.

And he's my husband, after all.

We're married legally.

And I can do this with him.

At least even just for now...

A moan escaped my lips. Tumigil sandali sa paghalik si Castiel. He watched my face and my reaction to his kiss and touch...

And I think mukha nang inaantok ang mga mata ko...

He kissed my lips one more time. Before he carried me up in his arms and brought me to our bed...
