love through you

hot and cold

"Shh..shut up. Gotta go! Thanks honey!"

As if something poked his heart. He is romantic but not permanently. He loves endearment. Brad turned again to the floor where he saw Angie. She wears casually. The same jeans, rider's jacket and a whirt shirt just as when she went to his office 3 ays ago.

He ring the door bell at his bestfriend's pad. It's been 5 years since they saw each other. The door opened just to see him at his worst expression he had ever seen in him.

"What the hell bro?" Brad saw his pad as if a hurricane went in. "Is this your surprise to me?" His bestfriend smiled slightly. He help him out picking up everything.

"Remember the person i've been telling you? She just broke up with me for such petty reasons." Brad stop slowly as he looks at his friend. "Then, let's celebrate dude!" He throw a slight punch in his right arm. "As if that's how easy it is. You know she's my life. I haven't met anybody like her. I mean she's very caring, loving, smart, confident woman." Brad raised his to hands in the air as if surrending to his thoughts. "Alright, alright!" Then he laughed. He went there to announce to him that he's getting married! Again. But he felt not to do so. He felt protective and more to possessive.

"What brings you here by the way?" He went to the bar section and looks for a drink. "What are you? Even gays drink!" He can't find any liqour in his bestfriend's little bar. "I gave it up years ago. If you want, there's a wine there." But instead he went to drink a water. "I just came by to say hello. You know. I missed you." Brad lost his smile when he saw a photograph at the den.

"Who's that?" He points out. "Is she your girl? She dump you right? Get rid of her." He said annoyingly. Even him, he doesn't understand how he feels. Gael went to the direction he pointed out. "No. She made a deal with me." His eyebrows met. "Deal?" Gael fix the position of the photograph. "She's going to marry somebody else but she told me probably that will only last for 3 months then after that she will file for divorce so we can be together again." He bit his lip. "Really? That's nice." He said. Silence became an elephant between them. He looks at his wrist watch and smiled. "Sorry dude, i have to go. I need to go to my parents. You know begotten son duty." He tapped Gael's shoulder as he walks out. "Thanks for the help!" He didn't look at him but raised his hands as he waved good bye. He heard Gael locked the door.

"3 months? Divorce?" He smiled bitterly.

Brad holds his nape. He felt as if fire came inside him. "That bitch! Looks like an angel but...we're not even married yet! And her thoughts are already divorce? The heck!" He holds the wheel tightly. "She really think she can use me?" He beep the horn roughly. He saw 3 people opening the high gate where his parents are living. He breathes heavily. Brad tries to stop his emotion but he can't. He parked the car and get out of it. "Where's mom and dad?" He asked one of the big guys that's walking after him. "Don't face them with anger. What are you?" He stopped and tried to calm down and look back at Evan. "I'm sorry. Did i say something crazy?" Evan wagged repeatedly. "It's obvious." They continue walking.

"Hey! What's going on people?" He tried to say it as convincing as possible. Brad gave his mother a kiss to her foreheard and his dad to his cheeks.

"Well, i heard you already met angie? How was it?". Bill asked him. "Oh that bitch?" He said in his mind. "Oh! Lovely! Lovely woman." He said as he sips his mom's coffee. "Hmm..this is the best coffee in town!" He points out sarcastically. "Oh come on!" Her mom said as they shared laugh together.

"That's good then! I'm planning to invite them next week so our families will both talk about business and of course your marriage." Brad is trying not to release tension out of his mouth. Sometimes he said things at the wrong time. "Yup!" He agreed. "And this time honey, please work this out okay?" His mom said to him. His mom's eyes are like that of a cat! He can't just say no to his mom. "I will try my best" He sips again the coffee.

'So i will forever be tormented.' He said in his own. 'But come to think of it, you can take revenge to her by being the nicest and fulfilling husband to her.' He laugh foolishly at the thought.

"You fine son?"

"Yes mom! You know, i'm just so excited for me and angie's future! I just think we can work together very well." Brad made a money sign and smiled.
