The Contract Wife

Chapter 21

Aston's POV

Our hands were interwined when we got down.

Dad saw me first and he gave me a familiar smirk. Mom looked at me mischievously.

While Cassy was busy munching her pancakes.

"What took you so long Meghan? I thought you were just gonna call Aston?" I gave my dad a glare while Meghan just blushed.

"Dad, dont bully my fiancé. Just eat guys will you? Dont mind us. We'll juat stay at the poolside." Mom turned to our side and looked at me.

"But son, Meghan havent eaten. She looks worn out." She smiled but I know theyre bullying us. Urgh.

I have great parents! Insert the sarcasm damn!

"Its okay we can eat later. We will talk about things. And about that staying here before our wedding Ill agree with it. And please fetch Kenji now. I dont want my brother-in-law to be with someone who tried to--" I felt Meghan tugged my shirt. Fck, I forgot they still don't know.

"Who tried to?" I just shake my head and we left.

I brought her at the poolside. And sat at the edge of the pool.

"Babe, Im sorry. I almost slipped." She weakly smiled at me.

"Its okay. But please dont mention it to others. I dont want you to be humiliated." She cupped my cheeks so I held her hands.

"Babe, what if we go out? So we can loosen up? Whatcha say?" I smiled at her and she nodded continously.

"Id love to. Matagal na din akong di nakakapasok sa mall." Surprisingly, she hugged me and it brought me joy. I hugged her back and I settled for a hug.

I dont want to take her in a pool though!

"Gusto mo ba sunduin muna natin si Kenji para makasama siya sa mall?" I gave her a confused look.

"Bakit? Dont you want to be with your brother?" She grinned at me.

"You know what? Youre hotter when you speak Tagalog. Mas bagay sayo ang English, pero mas appealing ka pag nagsasalita ka ng Tagalog." Not removing the smile on her face.

"Since mas nagiging hot ako sa paningin mo pag Tagalog well, I think kailangan ko nang sanayin sarili ko in that language." I smiled at her too and kissed her forehead.

We stayed here for a couple more minutes and I just hugged her. I felt... complete and loved.

Its my first time to experience this kind of feeling. Its a new one. And I love it.

"Hey, come on lets prepare. The city is hour and a half away from here. Its 7am anyway." She nodded and we stood up.

"Oh by the way babe, wear a dress okay?" She cocked her head and looked at me confused.

"Why? Were just gonna go to he mall right? Or were also gonna attend a formal gathering?" She looks amazingly beautiful. I smiled at my own thought.

"No. Its not that were gonna attend something formal." I go near her and whisper "Its for better access" I smirked when I heard her gasp.

I just burst out in laughter and she hit me in the shoulder.

She immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath. I just took a bath on the vacant room cause I might just spoil her peaceful bath if I joined her.

After some minutes I wore my clothes and watch fixed my hair and got out. I entered our room again and she was trying to reach the zipper of her dress.

I approached her and zip it. She smells good. And she got a sexy back I must admit.

"Thank you" I nodded and looked at my phone. "Babe, Ill just wait for you downstairs. Okay?" She nodded so I went to the living room.

When I got down, I saw mom and dad almost kissing. Urgh, oldies. "Mom, dad, Meghan and I are gonna go out. And we wont be able to have dinner in here."

Dad glared at me. And I smirked. Bitin.

"Aston, Im done. Lets go?" I approached her and offered my hand and she cling into my arm.

"Were leaving for awhile. Bye mom, dad. Gotta go." I bid them goodbye and we went to my car.

It only took us 1hour to travel cause its traffic free. We watched movies, went to arcades, bought some clothes for her even if she resisted.

We did what a couple usually do.

Hold hands while walking. And it irritates me when men stare at her like theyre gonna rape her. I wanna rip their faces.

We ate in a resto and just contented ourselves by walking around.

"Dis you enjoy?" I asked her because she was quiet. "I did. Thank you." I was surprised because she suddenly kissed me.

Its only seldom when she initiare a kiss so I was delighted. "Youre welcome."

With my signature smile and kissed her forehead.

I feel complete when Im with her. I dont have my ruthless sides. I feel joy whenever I see her.

The whole feeling is new.

Now I know myself. I love her. But I wont tell her now. Not now...
