Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Twaine's Point of View :

The smiles I didn't expect today still can't be erased from my lips. It seems like a while ago when I caught my husband kissing another woman. But because he explained about it, I couldn't get rid of the thrill. His confession and his sweetness.

The setup of Kyle and I’s relationship has changed, maybe because we’ve both already admitted to ourselves our true feelings for each other.

"Twaine," I stopped walking when Miss Roxanne called me.

"Yes?" I politely asked. Even though she is my husband's woman, I still need to respect her because she is still my adviser.

"How dare you!" She said softly but I knew she was angry. She really has the right to be angry now? What a shameless woman.

"Why?" I asked her emotionless.

"Stop acting like you don't know anything!" Her voice was strong and loud when she said those words to me.

"What are you talking about, Miss Roxanne? I don't understand you." I said calmly. I don't want to ruined my mood just because of her.

"You know Kyle left me, don't you?" I raised an eyebrow at her because of that.

"So, what now?"

"How dare you?" She almost slapped me when she said that in my face.

"Miss Roxanne, maybe you forgot that Kyle is my husband. He's my husband, so what's wrong in there? If there's a thick face between the two of us, I'm sure it's you and I know that you know that." Miss Roxanne was momentarily taken aback by what I said. I can see how she got even angrier. Maybe if we weren't at school hallway, she would have slapped me already.

"I still have class, so, please excuse me." I politely said and walked away from her. But before I could get away she said something else.

"We're not yet done, Twaine! I'll assure you that I will take him from you!" She said threateningly. I just shrugged and ignored her.

'Do it if you can'

"Hey, young lady!" Ana was the first one who greeted me as soon as I entered the classroom.

"Hey," I casually replied.

"Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?" She asked meaningfully.

"Because of that Roxanne, she is really trying on me!" I said angrily.

"Oh! Why, what happened?" She asked.

"She's such a shameless! How dare her to wait for me in the hallway and talked to me about nonsense! She acts like I stole her husband from her!" I made a deep sighed after bringing out the anger that I felt for that Roxanne.

"W-woah! That's insanity !!" Ana commented with a laugh.

"I agree!" I laughed in agreement.

"Twaine, can we talk?" Ana and I both look to Jeremy who had just arrived inside the classroom.

"About what?" I asked raising my brows.

"Something important." He replied, so I got up from my seat and followed him out of the classroom.

"We'll talk about what?" I asked right away.

"Twaine, I like you!" I got surprised to his confession.

"Jer—"

"I know, I know your situation but didn't you tell me you still have the right to choose the person you will love?" He said after cutting my words.

"Yeah, but—"

"Look, I'm willing to wait. I'll wait for you, Twaine." He said seriously.

"I love my husband, Jeremy. At first maybe, yes, that's why I'm still dating you isn't it? But lately we've both admitted that we love each other." I'll explained to him.

"Is that so?" He asked sadly. I don't know if I was just mimicking or what, but I could see tears welling up in his eyes.

Jeremy Nicolas Santos was a kind-hearted guy. He's also talented and a good looking one. He has a sharp nose, thick eyebrows but it suits his appearance. His hair color is light brown, like mine. He has a smooth skin and white complexion. All in all, he's perfect package—including his good attitude and being a gentleman.

Since High School, many girls have been chasing and crushing on him, but I have never heard of him having a girlfriend at school. Now that we are in college we have become close to each other.

At first, I was the one who admitted that I had a crush on him and then I was also surprised when he suddenly invited me to date him.

Until I told him about my life. It even got to the point where I thought we would be in a relationship.

"Jer, I'm sorry." I apologize to him.

"No, it's okay Twaine. I understand." He said with a forced smile.

"But we're still friends, aren't we?" I clarifies.

"Of course, I'm just here. If you need me, I'll always be here for you." He said smiling. I hugged him tightly because of that.

"Thank you, thank you Jer." I whispered.

"You're always welcome, my princess." He replied.

—

After our class I immediately let Jeremy and Ana know that I would be going home early.

I thought Kyle was out. He said earlier that I would wait for him after our class. But it's getting late but he's still not here. I don't want to think about nonsense things, I don't want to ruin my mood.

"Waiting for someone?" A familiar voice made me turned from behind me. This Clyde again, I don't know how he finds me and why he always shows up to me—especially whenever I'm alone.

"Why do you care?" I asked him frowning.

"Woah, I'm just asking." He said with a smile.

"Whatever." I just said that and ignored him after.

"If I were you," he briefly adjusted his helmet and put it on.

"—I'll go home than to wait for nothing," after he said that he got on his motorbike and left without saying a word. Who is that man? Why does he suddenly appear every time I'm alone? Ah! He's a pain in my bangs!

/ Hubby's calling ... \

I immediately answered his call.

"Hi wifey, I'm sorry I can't pick you up anymore. Just go home, I'm still finishing some important business in my office. I'm sorry," He said directly after I answered the call.

"I-it's alright Hubby." I smiled in response but deep inside I'm—hurt. After I put down the cellphone, I let out a deep sighed.

"See?" It's Clyde again, it looks like he's happy seeing me pissed. I though he already left, but why he's still here?

I just glared at him and took a taxi without any hesitation.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when I got home. It's so dark. It's because Kyle isn’t there yet.

When I turned the door lock I was surprised because it was open. Fear first wrapped around my chest.

'Did someone entered our house?'

Even with fear, I still chose to open the door. A light blue sticky note popped up in front of me with the words written in it...

/ "Hi wifey, good evening!" \

and there is also a stem of a red rose there. I picked it up and walked away smiling.

When I arrived right in the middle of our house, the lights came on one by one. When I looked at the floor I just noticed that I was inside a heart -shaped light.

When all the lights were finally turned on, I realized that our whole house was designed. The ceiling was full of our various pictures together and in the middle was our wedding photo.

I also have solo pictures with paper hearts and balloons. When I touched my face, I just found out that I was already crying.

'Tears of joy!'

I looked up the stairs to Kyle and I's room, where there was a large banner with the words...

'HAPPY 3RD WEDDING ANNIVERSAY WIFEY'

My tears kept coming because of that. My tears kept flowing as I looked at the pictures of Kyle and me together, and the design he did inside our house. I feel so happy now, the feeling that I don't want to lose in my heart. I really want to hug Kyle right now too, but I don’t know where he is.

YOU ARE THE REASON(by:Calum Scott)Now playing ...

There goes my heart beating'Cause you are the reasonI'm losing my sleepPlease come back now

Kyle slowly walked down the stairs while singing. He just looked at me seriously as if he was conveying to me the message of the song.

There goes my mind racingAnd you are the reasonThat I'm still breathingI'm hopeless now

It was as if he was pleading with me. He seems crying while singing but he kept going. I know he wanted to convey something through his singing.

I'd climb every mountainAnd swim every oceanJust to be with youAnd fix what I've brokenOh, 'cause I need you to seeThat you are the reason

He slowly approached me then he handed me a boauque of red roses.

There goes my hand shakingAnd you are the reasonMy heart keeps bleedingI need you nowIf I could turn back the clockI'd make sure the light defeated the darkI'd spend every hour, of every dayKeeping you safe

He also took my hand and placed it on his shoulder while both of our hands held tightly to each other.

Because he is tall while I am only up to his shoulder, I can hardly follow him in dancing. I was just surprised when he put my two feet in his own shoes. At first I tried to remove my foot that was on his foot because I was on my heels and I knew he would be hurt because of that.

I'm also aware that I'm a little bit heavy. But he decided we would dance so I just let him go. As he sang we continued to dance.

And I'd climb every mountainAnd swim every oceanJust to be with youAnd fix what I've brokenOh, 'cause I need you to seeThat you are the reason, oh(I don't wanna fight no more)(I don't wanna hurt no more)(I don't wanna cry no more)(Come back, I need you to hold me closer now)

You are the reason, oh(Just a little closer now) (Come a little closer now)(I need you to hold me tonight)

I'm so happy! It was so good in the heart—the feels of this feeling was too much. If I could only wish one thing now, I'll surely will do wish for this unending happiness.

I buried my face in Kyle's chest. Still, his scent is still there. I just listened to Kyle's heartbeat as he continued to dance. The speed of his heartbeat, just like my heartbeat.

I'd climb every mountainAnd swim every oceanJust to be with youAnd fix what I've broken'Cause I need you to seeThat you are the reason

When he finished singing, we also finished dancing. I thought his explosions were over but I was surprised again when he knelt right in front of me.

"Twaine," he looked seriously into my eyes. I also just looked at him to indicate that I would listen to whatever he had to say.

"I know I've done you a lot of wrong, so I want to apologize." I could feel his sincerity, so I just nodded.

"I'm sorry if at first, we didn't get along." He says laughing. I also laughed, because I remembered our first day as a couple, we look like a cat and dog. Shouting here and there.

"I'm also sorry if I've hurt you lately." I smiled at him, saying 'it's okay, I understand'

"Don't worry, from now on I will make it up to you. I will make up from the sins I have committed against you. As long as I can make you happy, I will make you happy. I don't want to promise because I don't know the wheels of life, but as long as I can, as long as I live I will avoid doing anything that will hurt you."

Because of what he said, I cried again. I hugged Kyle tightly again.

"Hubby, why are you like that? You're making me cry." I said to him like a child. He just laughed.

"I'm just making you happy, my wife." He replied.

"Hubby, I love you so much. I also don't want to promise that I won't hurt you but as I will surely not hurt you. I love you, hubby." I told him in tears. And with that, he kiss me on my forehead.

"Happy 3rd anniversary again wifey." He said happily before he carried me to the table.

"Wah, hubby take me down!" I struggle with him. He carried me like a newlyweds.

"I know you're hungry wifey, let's eat first and then let's make a baby." I was horrified by the last thing he said so I stopped.

"Just kidding you, wifey," it was good and he took it back so I could breathe easily. He let me down when we got to the kitchen.

We happily shared the dinner that he prepared.

'I hope we are always like this, who are happy and can get along. It feels so good!'

"Eat wifey, because you'll surely need an energy for our making of the baby." He joked.

"Your face!" I just said while suppressing the happiness that he had brought to me.
