I yawned as I staring at Grant. It's only 6 in the morning and here we are. Abala siya sa pakikipag-usap sa matandang lalaki. Nandito kami sa rantso nila.
"Hey babe, come here," tawag nito sa akin. I stood up while frowning. This guy is really making my life fucked-up. "Someone's here having a not-so-good morning," he said teasingly and messed up my hair. Natawa ang matandang lalaki na nangangalaga sa mga kabayo. I frowned even more at what he did. He really know how to ruin my day. Well, just his fucking face is enough to pissed me off. "What are we doing here?" Hindi ko maitago ang inis sa tono ng aking boses. "It's only 6 in the morning, dude. I still want to wrap up my body in a fluffy comforter." I heard him chuckled. Parang natanggal 'yong kaantukan ko nang marinig ang malambing niyang tawa. "Hindi pa rin nagbabago si Señorita Jade, mahilig ka pa ring matulog." Lumingon ako sa gawi ng matanda naPagkatapos magbihis, magkasabay kaming bumaba ni Grant. Back to being married just for pretending. Oh fuck I am really tired of this. But yeah, I chose this, so have no choice but to stand for it."Here's the newly wed!" masiglang saad ni Mommy Daisy. I forced myself to smile. Lalo pa't lahat sila'y nandito."You are always look elegant, Ate Jade," Kath commended. I was wearing a knit sweater paired with skirt, and black boots. While Grant was just wearing a white button-down short sleeve polo paired with gray trouser and white sneaker."You too baby, you are so beautiful." Hinalikan ko ang kanyang noo, saka bahagyang pinisil ang kanyang baba."Baby pffffttt..." Luminga ako upang hanapin kung sino iyon, only to find out that it was Gladyse who's standing behind her mom. "Hi Ate gorgeous Jade," bati niya sa akin. Natawa na lamang ako. Ang kapatid ko naman ay masama ang pinupukol na tingin sa kanya.
I groaned when I feel like someone's body laid over mine. I slowly opened my eyes until it became wide-eyed. Grant arm was wrapped around my waist, his one arm serves as my piloow! And my face...my beautiful face was burried on his chest. My legs were in between his'.Fuck! What is it Jade? You shit. Why did you let that jerk hugged you?I gently removed his arm around my waist. Umusog ako sa gilid ng kama upang 'di na kami magdikit. Pero bago pa ako tuluyang makalayo, muli niyang kinawit ang braso sa aking bewang at hinigit ako pasiksik sa kanyang katawan. Sinubukan kong magpumiglas kaso mas humihigpit pa ang yakap niya."Don't move. Let"s sleep more," he whispered in a bedroom voice. "Better.""Taking advantage? Really, Grant?" ani ko sa naiinis na tono. Subalit parang wala lang itong narinig na mas lalo pang pinagsiksikan ang sarili sa aking katawan. "I'm human, not comforter!"
"Ha! And why would you want me to stay?" I asked, attempting to keep my rage under control. Who do you think he is to order?He walked away rather than answering my question. But I'm not going to let him pass up this issue again. He's good and skilled at evading it. As if fucking shutting his mouth will suffice to cover up everything."I'm talking to you, Grant." He still walking as if he doesn't hear me. "Will you please stop walking away and answer my damn question, goddamn it Samonte?" Cecille hold my arm to calm me down. Landon and Saxson were both staring at us. "Who are you to make decisions for me?" Huminto siya sa pagkakataong ito at lumingon sa gawi ko."I'm your husband, plain and simple." Bakit ba niya palaging ginagamit 'yong husband card na 'yan, kung alam niya ang totoo na nagpapanggap lang naman kami?"You're not my husband, and I'm not your wife. Will never be so just fuck off!" I don't care if I damaged his e
Who would've thought that I could endure Grant's presence in almost a month. An arrogant, annoying man like him. Even myself, I can't believe that I am still here.I was just staring at him while he was laughing together with his best friend, Saxson. Wearing his simple maroon v-neck t-shirt that fitted to his well-formed physique, paired with black short.Months ago we were just strangers, not literally 'cause we knew each other, it just that we were not close."Grant might melt if you won't stop staring at him," untag sa akin ni Cecille. I swiftly dodged my gaze, acted as if I was busy on my phone. "Well, can't blame you, he looks handsome."Hindi ko siya muling pinansin. Nagpapanggap na hindi ko naririnig ang mga sinasabi niya. Ayokong mag-isip siya ng ibang bagay dahil sa nahuli niya akong tinititigan ito."Oh maybe I'm getting older, I forgot that you're a great actress." Sa pagkakataong ito ay nilingon
Shit! I pulled my hair because of frustration. Why does the rumor spread that fast? Damn those reporters, they're like a parasites. They will suck you up until your life is ruined. Such a life-wrecker.I bit my lower lip and glance at the news again. When will they stop talking about that issue? Isn't it just a coincidence that we are together in the same place? But who would believe, if in the photo that senator looks sweet to me.I admit that we met, but not planned. He was flirting with me, I just don't take it seriously. Hell! Who wants to be a mistress? Definitely no one."Ang pananahimik ba ng nasabing artista ay kumukumpirma na totoo ang balita? Isa nga ba siyang mistress ni Sen. Gilbert Sanchez?" ani ng isang matabang lalaki sa balitang aking pinapanood."Don't you ever show your face in front of me dumbass, I'll twist your head," nanggagalaiting bulong ko, habang matalim na nakatitig sa reporter na nasa telev
"Stop! She's my fiance'. We're getting married."It was Grant.Lahat ng reporter sa unahan namin ay natahimik. Maging ako man, dahil sa sinabi niya. Nagsimulang kumalabog ang aking dibdib.Ngunit maya-maya lang ay sunod-sunod na naman ang pag-flash ng camera."Ms. Jade, totoo po ba ang sinabi niya?""Bakit hindi po nababalita ang relasyon ninyo?"Mas hinigpitan pa niya ang pagkakayakap sa akin. Iniiwas niya ako sa mga ito, upang hindi ako makuhanan ng litrato."Because I respect her job as an actress. Hope you do too," he answered bluntly with a streak of sarcasm. "If you don't mind, can we leave?" Hindi na niya hinintay na sumagot pa ang mga ito.Yakap pa rin ako ay naglakad ito pabalik. May mga dumating na ring mga guard. Marahil sinabihan niya kanina. Panay pa rin ang tawag nila sa pangalan ko, habang pilit pinaaalis ng mga guard."Don't look at me as if I am you
I almost jumped when the door of my unit suddenly opened. I was still in a state of shock when he stepped closer to me and pulled me up from sittiing."What's your problem, Grant?!" reklamo ko. Hila pa rin ako nito palabas."My friend is waiting for us," sagot niya. Hindi man lang ako nililingon. "He's a lawyer. He can help us to fake every documents of our marriage. If you think that I will marry you for real, stay with your dream, punk."Nang makapasok kami sa unit niya ay nandoon nga ang kaibigan niya. Nakaupo sa sofa. He smiled at us. I think he's more approachable than to this guy next to me."She's here.""You sure you don't want to marry for real?" tanong ng kaibigan niya. Kunot-noo namin siyang nilingon. May nakakalokong ngiti sa labi niya habang nakatingin sa amin.We were still holding each other hand. I quickly took my hand from him. He dodged his gaze and cleared his throat.&nbs
After the wedding we all went to the reception area. Some reporters approached us and initiates an interview, but we didn't allow them, and just promised to do an interview the next day.Gabi na at nagsimula nang mag-uwian ang ibang bisita. I saw Landon walking towards us. Jerk. He's like a mushroom, appears after the rain."Hi Jade. Congrats," he said with a mischief smile pasted on his lips. "And to your newly husband.""Thank you," saad ko na lamang. Halatang nakainom siya at mukhang may nais ipahiwatig."I guess you were serious now. I mean, after a lot men of that linked to your name, here you are, ready to settle down."From my peripheral vision, I could see how Gran't grip on the wine glass tightened."Landon, you're drunk, just go home...""How about you, Mr. Sarcilla? Where are you good at?" singit ni Grant, di pa man ako nakakatapos sa pagsasalita. He
