[R18] Ang Artista and The Ex

Chapter 7

Gavin's POV

"Are they crazy? Why would they give us 2 weeks just to buy clothes?" Abigail hissed while we wait for the cab. I couldn't do anything but smile at her reactions. Pinlano ko kasi ang lahat ng ito. I just couldn't help myself. It has been 3 or so what years since huli kaming mag-kita and I missed her so much.

"You know what's great? We can have the those extra days as our vacation." Ngumiti ako at I looked at her beautiful frowny face.

"It'll be great kung sana ako lang mag-isa. But you see, I'm stuck with you." Inalis niya ang tingin sa akin at tsaka sumakay sa kakarating lang na taxi. Leaving me putting all those heavy luggages at the car boot by myself. But ano ba ang akala ko? She is a girl. She can't lift those heavy luggages by herself.

Sinara ko ang likod ng sasakyan at sumakay sa tabi ni Abigail. Why the hell is she sitting so far away from me?

"Hey, can we go to London eye?" I excitedly ask. It wasn't my first time in London but I have always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel with Abigail. It reminds me the first time I felt yung siya na.

"It takes 30 minutes from Heathrow to London eye. 11pm na, are you not tired? Nakaupo tayo sa eroplano for almost 18 hours." She looked at me irritatingly. Na parang ba... My presence was making her uncomfortable.

Napanguso nalang ako. And what was I thinking? Baka sarado na ang London Eye.

It didn't take long until we finally reached Abigail's apartment. It looked pretty decent. Hindi katulad ng apartment ni A.J sa New York na halos hindi ko maintindihan kung bahay ba yun ng manok o baboy. This is why I prefer to go to Europe than going to U.S.A.

Sumakay kami sa elevator at napangiti ako ng makita ko ang reflection namin ni Abby. Kung sana hindi ako nag pakasal, we probably looked like a married couple on our way for our honeymoon.

Binuksan ni Abby ang apartment niya and I followed her inside. Maliit lang ito but I think we can fit in here.

Pag pasok ko ay sinalubong agad ako ng living room at kitchen. Magkadikit lang ang ito. At sa loob naman ng kwarto, ay may isang banyo.

"Sa sofa ka, sa kama ako, understood?" Tumalon siya sa kama at tumawa. "Namiss ko to!"

Nilagay ko ang luggage namin sa ilalim ng kama at umupo sa sofa sa loob ng kwarto niya. The sofa is not bad. Malambot kasi ito. But masyado yata itong maliit para sa height ko.

"Maliligo ka ba?" Ng tumingin ako ka Abigail ay mahimbing na itong natutulog. I removed her shoes at kumuha na rin ng malinis ma pajama sa cabinet niya. I don't think she'll mind if I change her clothes right? Ilang beses ko na kasing nakita ang nasa loob niyan.

I grabbed the blanket and covered it on top of her. I kissed her forehead then I walked to the sofa at humiga doon. Bukas na lang ako maliligo. Today was long.

_____

Today, I decided to wake up early to cook for Abigail. Tumayo ako at mabilis na naligo. Tahimik akong nag-bihis, hoping I won't wake Abby up. Once I was done, I checked the fridge only to find nothing there. It wasn't even on!

Lumabas ako ng apartment and went to the nearby grocery store named Tesco Express. I grabbed a cart and started shopping for groceries.

Margaux calling...

Nabigla ako sa pag tawag ni Margaux. She usually just text me if she needs me. "Hello?"

"Hello babe, how was London?" Tanong niya sa akin.

"Uh... Hindi pa kami lumalabas. Nakarating kami dito mga 11pm na." I simply said.

From the other line, I heard Margaux sighed deeply, "how was it to be with the woman you love? I don't get why you needed to leave her back then."

"Are we talking about this again? Alam ko iniwan ka ni Cinco noon, but I'm different. I left her because I love her." Cinco and Margaux had a serious relationship for 8 years. A very serious relationship.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ngyari sa dalawa but all I know was it was because She caught Cinco cheated. Now, Cinco was with the girl he cheated with, while Margaux asked for my help few years ago to act as her husband.

Me and Margaux liked each other. We love each other like siblings. But I never see her the way I see Abigail.

I'm pretty sure na mahal pa rin ni Cinco si Margaux. In fact, bago kami ikasal ay nag pakalasing pa si Cinco noon. He didn't even bother to hurt me that time which was odd. We always followed our Bros before Hoes rule.

Lahat yata ng pwedeng pag selosan ni Cinco ay nagawa na namin ni Margaux. Pati nga sēx ay nagawa na namin but buti nalang ay walang nabuo. So we stopped doing it just last month. I was just mad when I thought I couldn't have my own baby, but I guess it is okay.

"I'm giving up Cinco. It's been 2 yeers since nag pakasal tayo but look at us... Walang ngyayari!"

"Just... Just wait for a little while okay? I'm your friend remember?"

"Paano si Abigail? She thought you really loved me, She thought you married me because you love me... Sinasaktan natin siya!" Sigaw ni Margaux through the phone. This girl is really funny. I don't want this marriage to end yet because I am curious about something.

"Let's file an annulment. Don't tell anyone."

"Finally! Akala ko ma i-inlove din ako sayo eventually. Pati wattpad paasa. Ano ba ang plano mo at bakit ayaw mong ipasabi sa mga tao yung annulment?" Tanong niya sa akin.

"Abigail has a child named Gio. He is turning 2, and he looks awfully like me when I was young. There is a possibility I got her pregrant before I left her."
