Married to a stranger [ Completed ✔ ]

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Tumayo ako para maligo. Pagkatapos ay bumaba para mag almusal. Naabutan ko si Jaycee sa baba naghihintay sa akin.

Tahimik akong umupo sa hapag at nag simulang kumain. Tahimik din siya. I want to tell him about what Kate told me.

Gusto kong malaman galing mismo sa kanya na totoong may nararamdaman din siya sa akin. Ayokong magpa ligoy ligoy pa. I am always  straightforward. Ayokong magpabebe. Gusto kong maging matured sa relasyon namin, lalo na't kasal na kami. We're not teenagers anymore.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago ako mag salita.

"Uhm. Nag usap kami ni Kate kahapon." panimula kong sabi. Natigilan siya sa pagkain at tumingin siya sa akin.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. "Baby, it's all in the past wala na akong nararamdaman sa kanya." Jaycee said. I smiled with what he said.

"Look, Kate probbably told you this already, but I want you to hear this directly from me. I love you, Leona. When I first saw you in that bar, I felt something different from you. This might sound cheesy but I guess I fell in love at first sight." he chuckled.

Natawa din ako sa sinabi niya. Sino bang hindi matatawa? He looks so intimidating and serious all the time, pero may tinatago pala itong ka cheesyhan. He looks tough, but he also has a soft personality. Ang cute lang. At this moment he looks so vulnerable.

"So I am telling you that I did not marry you just because of business. I married you because I liked you in the first place." nagulat ako sa kanyang sinabi.

So that's why he reacted that way...

* flashback *

"I'm sorry if hindi tayo nakapasyal. There's an important client that wants a meeting. " he said, his eyes still on the road.

"No, it's okay. May aasikasuhin din naman ako. I decided to work on dad's company. I'll focus on our company nalang, besides isa naman ito sa naging dahilan ng kasal natin diba?" I said.

Humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa manibela and I saw his jaw clenched. Maybe that was wrong to say. Stupid. I'm so insensitive to say that. Ugh.

* end of flashback *

"Now tell me, do you feel the same? Do you love me?" he said.

Wow napaka straightforward na tanong.

"I don't know." I said. Tingnan natin anong magiging reaksyon niya.

"What do you mean you don't know. Then why do you feel jealous when she's always with me? Why did you dissapear when you heard what Katelyn said that night in my office? Huh? Tell me." he said crossing his arms, it flexed his muscles.

"Well, Maybe?" I said. Oh akala ko ba gusto mong straightforward? Akala ko ba ayaw mong magpa kipot? Trip ko bakit?

"Uh-huh well, I won't force you to tell me right now. But I promise, I'll make you fall so hard, that you'll call my name, begging for more." he said and continued eating.

Namula ako sa kahihiyan. Sinapak ko yung balikat niya at tumawa lang siya sa ginawa ko.

This guy is taking over my system.

Lumipas ang ilang araw at mas naging sweet siya sa akin. Naging busy ako sa modelling pati sa trabaho ko sa kompanya, samantalang siya naman ay tinatapos ang kaso.

Nahuli na ang isang kasabwat sa insidenteng kinasangkutan ni Kate. Jaycee proved them guilty kaya hinatulan sila sa pagkakakulong ng pitong taon sa kasong Attempted rape resulting to minor injuries.

Pagkatapos ng lahat, mas naging malapit kami ni Jaycee at naging mag kaibigan din kami ni Kate. We even hang out sometimes.

Isang buwan na akong nag ta- trabaho sa kompanya at marami narin akong nalalaman tungkol sa pamamahala nito. Infact, iniwan ni papa sa akin ang kompanya dahil pumunta sila sa England to meet an investor. They'll stay there for 3 days. Ginawa narin nila itong pagkakataon para makapag bakasyon.

Dahil ako ngayon ang namamahala sa kompanya, naging busy ako. But Jaycee always visits me to check up on me. Making sure that I am not stressed out and I eat my meals.

Ngayon sabay kaming nag lunch sa isang restaurant. He's also busy handling cases pero nag lalaan talaga siya ng oras para sa akin. He's so sweet.

"So, how's your company? Does it give you so much stress?" he said while eating his lunch.

"No, ano ka ba para dun lang ma se- stress ako? Ako to Jaycee, si Leona, baka nakakalimutan mo?" pabiro kong sabi.

In the past month, I am now comfortable when Jaycee's around. We don't feel awkward with each other anymore.

"Ah, oo nga pala. My wife is a superwoman." he said. I just chuckled.

"How about you? How's the cases you're handling." I said.

"It's doing good. I know for a fact that I'd win those cases. Ako to Leona, si Jaycee, baka nakakalimutan mo?" he immitated me. He's adorable.  Ngumuso ako para mapigilang ngumiti. He pinched my cheeks.

We continued eating.

"Oo nga pala," he said. Napatingin ako sa kanya. "I booked us a flight to palawan. Let's have a vacation." he said. Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Our flight will be next week. Clear your schedules." he said.

"Tayo lang dalawa?" I said, he raised his brow.

" Bakit may iba pang dapat sumama? It will serve as our honeymoon kaya tayo lang dapat." he said.

Sinapak ko ang kanyang braso. He chuckled.

I'm actually excited. Ngayon lang kami makakapag bakasyon at makakapag bonding. I'm looking forward to this trip with him alone.
