Married to a stranger [ Completed ✔ ]

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

I woke up and saw Jaycee still sleeping. Naiinis pa din ako.

I don't think I can show him my face today. Kaya tinawagan ko si Camille.

"Hello" I said

["What the Heck Leona, it's so early. What?"] she said still sleepy. It's still 7 AM.

"Sabay tayo mag breakfast at starbucks, see you there." sabi ko.

["Ok. Give me 1 hour."]

I ended the call and went inside the bathroom to take a bath.

I wore a simple jeans and a white tank top.

Thank god hindi pa siya nagising. Napagod siguro kagabi kasama si— ugh. Naiinis talaga ako pag na aalala ko na hindi siya sumipot kagabi kasi kasama niya si Katelyn.

I drove my car today and went to starbucks.

While I was waiting for Camille, I just ordered coffee.

After a few minutes, dumating din si Camille. Umupo siya sa harap ko.

"Oh. Why aren't you eating breakfast with your husband?" she said.

"Wala. Ayaw mo ba na sabay tayong mag breakfast?" nakakunot noong  sabi ko.

"No. Pero nagtataka lang ako bakit biglaan ata na gusto mong sabay tayo mag breakfast. Something wrong? Nag away ba kayo?" tinaas niya ang kilay niya.

"Ugh! Si Jaycee kasi..." I ranted.

"Oh ayan na. Sinasabi ko na nga ba eh. Oh, what happened? You can rant all you want, I'll listen." She said.

What did I do to deserve a bestfriend like her?

"Kagabi, I cooked carbonara. You know I don't cook that much. Simpleng mga pagkain lang ang alam kong lutuin. Still, I cooked kasi I felt bad na palaging siya ang nagluluto ng dinner kahit pagod. So I decided to cook for him. But you know what? " I paused.

"I don't know. What?" She said.

"He didn't show up." halos sumigaw ako. I'm so frustrated.

"Baka naman kasi nag over time."

"Sana nga nag overtime siya, maiintindihan ko pa. Pero no, he was with Katelyn."

Kumunot ang noo niya. "And who the heck is Katelyn?" she said.

"She's a model from tha states and she signed a contract here and guess what?" I said.

"They know each other?" she guessed

"YES!" nagulat siya sa sigaw ko.

"Chill." she said while smiling. "They're just friends right?" she said.

"Yes. And close friends to be exact." I said.

"So let me get this straight. Nagluto ka ng Carbonara for your dinner pero hindi siya sumipot kasi he was with Katelyn?" she paused I took a sip of my coffee. "hmmmm. Looks like someone is jealous." ngimiti siya nag nakakaloka.

Nasamid ako sa sinabi niya.

"What? No!" I said. "I am not. Naiinis lang ako kasi nasayang ang effort ko, hindi siya dumating."

"Yep, you are jealous. Nagseselos ka kasi mas pinili niya si Katelyn over you." she said. "kahit sabihin pa nating close friends talaga sila, may karapatan ka ring mag selos no kasi you're his wife after all. Kahit ako mag seselos kung ipinagpalit ako." she said then sipped from her coffee.

"I told you, I'm not jelous, galit lang ako kasi nasayang ang effort ko sa pagluluto" I reasoned out.

"Whatever you say." she rolled ger eyes.

Iniba ko ang topic habang kumakain na kami ng breakfast. Napasarap ang kwentuhan namin nang naalala kong may gagawin pa pala ako, kaya nag paalam na ako para umuwi.

I went home using my grey honda civic.

Pagpasok ko sa bahay I saw Jaycee eating in the dining area. I was about to ignore him but he said something.

"Where were you so early in the morning?" He said looking straight into my eyes.

"I ate breakfast with Camille." sabi ko. Maglalakad na sana ako pero nagsalita na naman siya.

"Why didn't you tell me. I waited for you."

Buti nga sayo. Quits na tayo kung ganon. Naghintay din kaya ako sayo kagabi.

I faced him ang crossed my arms.

"Well, I also waited for you last night if you didn't know." I said. Kumunot ang noo niya sa narinig.

"Why? You texted remember?"

"Oo, kasi nainip ako kakahintay."

Kala mo ah. Naiinis ako.

"Ask manang Esing if you have questions. I have to do something." tapos tinalikuran ko siya.

"Wait. Stay there." napahinto ako sa sinabi niya.

"Manang. What did Leona do last night? Why did she wait?" he asked manang.

"Uhm. Ser nagluto po si maam ng carbonara kagabi. Naghintay po siya kaso hindi kayo dumating." manang said.

Lumingon ako sa kanya still with crossed arms and unintrested face.

He sighed. I was about to walk when he pulled me kaya napaharap ako sakanya and hugged me tightly, I can feel his heartbeat.

"I'm sorry. I should've declined her invitation." he said.

May naghaharumentado na kung ano sa tiyan ko. Gosh parang nawawala ang inis ko.

"Don't be mad. Next time I'll choose you over Kate. You're my wife so I should prioritze you. I'm sorry"

Hindi ako makagalaw. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. My ghad, totoo ba to?

Kumalas siya sa kakayakap. Hinawakan niya ang magkaliwang braso ko at tumingin sa mga mata ko.

"Please forgive me. I'll never do that again." then hugged me again.

Walang lumabas sa bibig ko. Hindi ako makapagsalita. Akala ko ba galit ako?
