The Stranger Is My Husband

CHAPTER 24

CHAPTER 24

**Flashback (from chapter 23)**

The next morning, I woke up because of the smell of a bacon being cooked. 'Hmmm, yummy!'

But wait, who might be the in my kitchen? Adam? How did he get in?

I slowly went downstairs, not making any noise. Sneaking in my kitchen, I saw that the breakfast is already served. I looked around the kitchen wondering who might be in here.

I was about to move further inside my kitchen when suddenly,

"Boo!" I jumped and squealed in too much shock. I was about to run when he grabbed my wrist and he laughed humourly.

By his voice, I'm sure who this guy is.

"Oh, your face was priceless!" he said between his laughter.

I turned to face the guy, "Zac? What are you...

"Well, I still remember when you told me that whenever you forget to bring the house key with you, you have your spare keys under the mat."

"Well explained, mr... trespasser." I teased.

"Oh really? I'm hurt that I'm not welcome here anymore." he said dramatically, clenching his chest. I just laugh and went straight to the coffee table.

===

Zac helped me to wash the plates after we ate.

"So, is this your first time to eat a 'real' breakfast?" he asked while letting the dishes dry.

"Huh? What do you mean 'real breakfast'?" I wrinkled my forehead

"I mean, for sure you'd just rather have coffee when you're alone, but now, you had bacon pancake with syrup. and-

I didn't let him finish, surely he's teasing me "How do you say so?"

"Because you eat like a huge man. See, 4 pancakes in just a minute or two. Seems like you didn't eat for ages." he said trying to supress his laughter, for him to look like serious. I just chuckle and shake head sideways.

"Well, uhmm... what's your itenerary for today?" Zac asked as we sat on the couch and watch tv, "wanna go somewhere?"

"Zac, look, I, uhmm... just want to take some rest. I've been so stress out this past few days."

"because of work, I guess." I just nod in response.

If only I could tell him that the past week has been so stressful for me because of Adam not showing up and thinking if we're still okay.

"You know what, I think I'll go now. As I can see you're not in the mood." he said and stand up. I imediately hold of his arm to stop him. Of course, I don't want him to feel bad.

"No, no, Zac... I-I mean, I just don't want to go out. It... doesn't mean that... we can't do anything indoor."

"No thank you, Kath. With how you talk to me tells it all. You really want to have a rest, so, I'll respect that. Maybe, we could hang out some other time." he said with a half smile.

"Thank you, Zac." I said with apologetic smile.

I escorted him to the door and waved goodbye when I was about to turn my back he speak

"Oh by the way Kath, your dad called me and told me that we should pick which beach where we would like to do the wedding."

I don't know what to say so I just said, "O-okay." and close the door.

I can't tell Zac my plan or may I should say, I won't tell him. Except from the fact that I don't wanna hurt him, I just can't trust him that much.

What if he can't take it anymore and he tell my dad about my plan? It will just ruin my plan with Adam, and that's the last thing I want to happen.

===

After I took a bath, I called Adam to go to my house and plan our wedding and he said he'll come and then, I called Louise to help me plan the wedding.

When Adam came we started to start planning. When an hour past I decided to prepare a snack for us.

As we are eating our snack Adam's phone rang when he saw who's calling,

"Uhmm, excuse I have to take this call." he stood up

"Is that too private to not answer that infront of your 'future wife'?" Louise teased

Adam just shrugged and leave.

"Louise!"

"What?"

"What do you think your doing? I don't want Adam to think anything bad about me."

"Hey bessie, FYI, I'm not doing anything. Just saying, besides I'm just teasing him." Louise continued sipping her coffee and looked at the magazine.

Me, on the other hand was thinking about what Louise said. What's about the call that he don't want to answer it infront of me, he always answers his call even if I'm around him. Well, I'm curious.

"Oh! Bessie I have another magazine in my room. A new one, I saw a beautiful gown there. Wait, I'll take it."

I walked in a hallway going to the stairs when I heard Adam talking in low voice, trying to control himself not to shout. I think his arguing with whoever is on the other line. Because of my curiousity, I eavesdrop.

I can't hear everything clearly but there is one thing I heard that made me wanted to slam the door open and it's really boiling my temper.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Haaaaaay!!!!!!!!! Miss me? Haha. :)

Whacha think guys? Can Zac be tha cause to ruin Adam and Kath's upcoming wedding or there are some obstacle will come for the couple to cancel their own wedding? And what might Adam's issue with the man on the other line? What do you think Katherine heard? Watch out for it!

Bye for now. Wait for the next chapter.
