Fake Wife (NLex FanFic)

1: Meet Mr. and Mrs. Aguas

Alexandra's POV

I held the frame that consist a picture of a small girl who's sticking out her tongue to the boy beside her who's frowning. It was 8 years ago. Binaba ko siya on top of my night stand still staring at the little me and little him. I sighed heavily.

Tinignan ko yung digital clock ko beside the frame, it says 6:00 am. I stretched my arms and tumayo na. Kinuha ko yung towel ko from the cabinet and went inside the bathroom to take a bath. Nagbihis ako ng white loose shirt, my skinny jeans at white converse. Im not the type of girly girl. I grabbed my black jansport bag at lumabas na ng room ko.

Nag-stop ako infront of the door infront of my room. It is his bedroom. I knocked three times, hoping for an answer --but ofcourse, wala parin. I knocked again, almost banging the whole door.

"ALRIGHT FUCK IM UP!" That's my cue. I went downstairs and as soon as I reached the kitchen, naamoy ko kaagad, bacon, eggs and pancake.

"Mhmmm.. Mama Jan! That smells so good! Favorite ko!" I chirped while I dropped my bag on top of the center island. "Naks! Hahaha! Im flattered. Thanks dear!" She smiled sweetly. Well, Mama Jan, siya yung yaya ni Nash since bata pa siya. That's why she knows him too well. "Would you like some, Alex?" Tanong niya habang nilagay yung pancakes sa tabi nung bacons and eggs. "Nope! Okay na ko dito!" I said as I raised an apple which I got from the fridge. "Hay nako! Di ka pa kumakain ng dinner! Baka magkasakit ka!" She asked worriedly. "Mama Jan, im fin-" Naputol ang sasabihin ko ng biglang may sumingit na male voice. "Kung ayaw, wag nang pilitin Mama." I was shocked. Parang may double meaning? "A-ah, una na ko Mama Jan. Late na pala a-ako." I kissed her cheek and ran to the big double doors.

********

As soon as I reached school, I am back again to Alexandra Ilacad not Aguas. Hindi alam ng public relationship namin. It's too private. Yung wedding ring rin namin is attached in a chain that is wrapped around our neck --di ko alam kung sinusuot pa niya yung sakanya.

Nakita ko si Shar and Jai waiting for me sa may waiting shed. Nakaupo sila sa magkabilang dulo, as if there's huge gap between them literally and emotionally. Bestfriend ko yang dalawang yan. Sharlene San Pedro and Jairus Aquino. We were trios, i mean we were quad.. Shar, Jai, Nash and I. After the tragic incident happened, bigla nalang silang nawala sa tabi ko. I don't know how or when, basta all i know is that, I woke up without them by my side. I was broken, kasi I know this is all because of me.

Nash became colder to me since pumayag ako sa kasal-kasal na to. Umamin si Shar kay Jai when we were 15 na may gusto siya, but HE turned her down. Super heartbroken si Shar non, kaya being her bestfriend, I comforted her. Lumayo samin si Jai since akala niya galit rin ako sa kanya. But of course I cannot hate my bestfriend, hanggang sa si Nash nalang ang napalayo samin. Nash and I are married since he's 17 and I'm 15. May connections kasi family namin that's why nagawan ng paraan. 1 year and 2 months nalang til the contract ends, it's either we might like to continue it or just break the deal off and start something new.

"Earth to Alexa?! Huy!" Nagulat ako ng biglang pitikin ni Shar noo ko. "Ay, sorry. Hello!" I hugged her at nakipagbeso rin ako kay Jai. "Have you guys checked our new sched? Sabi ni Sir Peter nagswitch na daw ng bagong sched this sem." Jai asked habang naglalakad kami. "Ay! Shit! Oo nga! I have to check on it sa registrar! Pati magbabayad narin ako ng tuition. Sige, Alex, una na ko!" Pagkatapos magpaalam ni Shar, I saw hurt and pain sa mga mata ni Jai habang nakatingin sa floor. Totoong may galit and feelings parin siya kay Jai. I can't blame her, she was hurt. I can't also blame him kasi ayaw na niyang paasahin si Shar --which is a nice thing for a friend to do. I sighed which caused him to look at me.
