Love, D #3: Marriage not Dating

:: Chapter Four

Danny's POV

Nandito ako ngayon sa milktea shop at agad kong tinext si Lucas na pupunta sa bahay si Chaster mamaya. He told me that he wanted to see the house. The structure we planned back on Chicago. It's been years and I still feel guilty. I love Lucas, No doubt. It's just that I can't endure Chaster's presence. I feel like there's something wrong with myself whenever I get closer to him, I feel safe. . .

It's been five minutes and I haven't received a message from Lucas. It's unusual. He always replied so fast.

From My Jealous Bee:
Tss. I don't care but since you told it to me I will prepare. Fetch you later.

I replied a heart emoticon. I put down my cellphone and get our family picture on my desk. Just seeing Lucas smiling like this makes me satisfied.

Chaster, Why did you come back?

Maaga akong umalis sa office
alam kong naghanda si Lucas sa bahay. I saw him waiting on the parking lot. Natawa na lang ako dahil nagpipicture siya kasama ang kotse. Ipo-post niya na naman sa instagram.

Napatigil siya sa pagpicture nang makita niya ako. He ran towards me and held my hand. He guided me all the way to the car and just saw the picture he took earlier.

“You're cute. Make it your profile picture.”

“Bee, I'm always. By the way, I bought some ham. Hope we can eat it all.” he said and started to drive.

Our married life is just simple. We're doing fine. Hindi naman kami sobrang kayaman and hindi rin mahirap. We can afford things which is a blessing. I know Lucas is the heir of the Flores Group but he wants to experience a normal life. We're happy like this. We have no luxury furnitures and jewels.

Staying happy like this is already enough from us. Perfect. . .

Nakarating kami sa bahay at halata namang naglinis siya. I guess he took a half-day at work to prepare this. He's too responsible.

“Where's Lizette?” I asked.

“Argh, About her. She's crying until now. May problema sa school kanina.”

“And you didn't told me?”

“I know you're busy. Let's settle this tomorrow, okay?” Nakita ko si Lizette na pababa ng hagdan dala-dala ang stuff stoy niya. Agad siyang lumapit sa akin at umiyak.

“Mommy. . .” she said while sobbing.

“Baby, What's wrong?” I wiped her tears and hugged her back. Kinarga ko siya sakto namang may nag-doorbell sa labas.

“Bee, I think it's Chaster.” I said. Lumabas si Lucas at mukhang gusto bumaba ni Lizette sa pagkakarga sa akin.

“Mommy, I want to see Tito.” she said and ran. Nakita ko si Chaster na may dalang malaking paper bag. Lizette hugs her that makes me smile.

“Tito, Do you have candies?” Lizette demanded. Nag-squat si Chaster para maging magkapantay sila.

“Lychie, Did you cry?” Chaster said on his baby talk tone.

“My classmate took my candies from me. He said it's not good for freaks.” Nagulat din ako sa sinabi ni Lizette.

“Freaks? Baby, You're not. Actually,  Tito Chaster  has a gift for you. Do you like houses? I brought you a dream house.” binuksan niya ang paper bag at nakita ko ang isang set ng bahay-bahayan. Lizette was too happy to see those. I think she's comfortable with Chaster.
