Secretly Married : NERD BECOMES CASANOVA

Chapter 50

(Steph's POV)

It's been a week since that dinner, since napagdesisyunan namin ni Xavier na dapat walang makakaalam tungkol sa kasal namin.

Just saying the word 'kasal' sends me shivers. I still can't believe that I'll marry Xavier, Alex Xavier Vega! My ex boyfriend who only got in a relationship with me because of a bet. My first boyfriend. My first heart break. But despite of all the bad things I can name about him, siya ren naman si Xavier that'll come out of nowhere and pull me out of a painful scene. Siya ren naman ang Xavier na bibigyan ako ng ice cream pam pacomfort. He's that guy who saved me from almost getting-- getting raped.

["Hello girl? Girl? Nanjan ka pa ba?"] tanong ni Rexanna sa kabilang linya

Have I mentioned na bumalik na silang dalawa ni Patrisha sa San Francisco? If I haven't well, there you go! Bumalik na sila sa SF.

"Ah? Yeah, Im still here" sagot ko sa nalang while laying my back on the bed

["So yun nga. We'll call you again sometime this week. Im hanging up na, it's late na dito eh! Love you and miss you! Take care gal!"] - Rexanna

"Sure.. You too" and with that, she hung up.

Napatingin nalang ako sa kisame. Nasabi niya na sakin na kaya lang siya pumayag para hindi makuha sa kanya ang mga pag mamay ari niya at ang pagiging heir niya sa VGC. Lahat na ata babawiin ni Tito sa kanya kapag hindi siya pumayag. So he agreed and I told him my reason at ayun ang kumpanya.

I still can't get the idea of marrying Xavier out of my mind. I really didn't expect it. Maliit nga siguro ang mundo? Of all the people I can be arranged with, sa kanya pa talaga. And I don't know what I feel about it. Parang fifty fifty? Like, the other half of me disagrees to be fixed with him kasi siya ang rason kung bat ako nagbago. Kung bakit ako sibrang nasaktan dati. Pinaglaruan niya ako. I loved him but he only made a fool out of me. Isa pa, casanova siya! One of the reasons why he wants the marriage to be a secret. He can't afford a broken reputation. Pero sabi ko nga, fifty fifty.

But the other half partly agrees and disagrees. So parang di naman talaga fifty fifty? The other part of me is only relieved to know that I'm arranged with Xavier. That at least, at least kilala ko na kung sino ang taong pakikisamahan ko. At kung anong klaseng tao ang halos araw araw ko ng makakasama.

*FLASHBACK*

"But no one should know about the marriage, Steph" serysong sabi ni Xavier

Half of me agrees with what he said but half of me is doubting on how we're suppose to do that. Paano namin itatago yun? He heard his Dad right? We're going to live in the same house, get married? Dadalhin ko ang apelyido niya? The staff will know! Baka mamaya tawagin pa kong Mrs. Vega ng mga yan!

"How? It won't be that easy Xavier" I told him pero tiningnan niya lang ako ng seryoso

"It won't be that easy, you're right. Pero si Dad narin mismong nagsabi that it's up to us if we'll announce that marriage. Dayne is the only one who knows about it sa side ko, and he will be the only one to know for now. But as much as possible, sana wala ng iba. It's just a marriage. We'll be together dahil lang sa isang papel. And we both know it's impossible to go beyond that."

END OF FLASHBACK

Napatigil nalang ako sa pag aalala ng marinig kong nag ring ang phone ko. I looked at it and I saw an unregistered phone number but I answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

["Im here downstairs. Might as well go down and meet me fiancé "] he sarcastically said and hung up.
