365 Days Contract [EDITING]

Chapter 14

"Behave, woman! That hurts!" Calen angrily whispered.

Calen pushed my forehead a little after I bit his arm. Katatapos lang ng check-up ko.

I have an ultrasound for the gestational sac. Calen was beside me the whole time. Nagsasalita ang doctor habang tinitingnan ang ultrasound ko pero hindi ko na napakinggan dahil nakatulog ako.

Calen is wearing a black polo. It is fitted to his body. He also wears simple black pants, a leather belt, and a white sneakers.

Hindi ako ginising ni Calen. Nagising na lang akong nakaupo sa hita niya habang kausap ang doctor. He smells so good and his arms look so strong while holding me. Parang bigla ko siyang gustong kagatin.

"Even though your wife is pregnant, you can still have safe sex. There's nothing to worry about—"

Napaubo ako nang malakas. Wife?! Sex?!

"Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Calen.

"I-I'm fine...Can you put me down, please?"

Calen loosened his grip. Bumaba ako sa hita niya at umupo sa katabing upuan. I feel dizzy all of a sudden because of what I heard! Bakit pa naman sinabi ng doctor iyon?!

"Are you sure you're okay?" tanong ni Calen habang nasa loob kami ng sasakyan.

Tulala ako. I can't get over of what that doctor said! Calen didn't even bother to correct her when she told him that I was his wife. Maybe he's embarrassed that we are in this kind of relationship. There's nothing going on between us but he got me pregnant.

"Yes, I'm fine,"

The doctor gave me some vitamins. Pinayuhan din niya akong mag-ingat dahil nasa early pregnancy pa lang ako. Calen was all ears with the doctor advices.

"P'wede ba tayong dumaan sa Mall? I'll go to Watsons." nilingon ko si Calen.

"Okay," simpleng sagot ni Calen bago iliko ang sasakyan.

"How long is this gonna take?" tanong ni Calen sa likuran ko.

He's been following me ever since we got here in Watsons. Ang dami ng karga ng dalawang basket at siya ang may buhat no'n.

"Akin na 'yang basket. You can wait outside—" aagawin ko na sana 'yung dalawang basket sa kaniya nang umatras siya palayo.

"No, I'll carry it." mariing sabi niya.

"Then stop complaining!" singhal ko. "I can't even choose properly because you keep following me around! Dinaig mo pa ang saleslady!"

Inirapan ko si Calen bago ulit naglibot. I can't choose a new shampoo. Lahat mabango kaya nilagay ko lahat sa basket. Pumili rin ako ng bagong body wash and skin care products.

"We've been roaming this small shop for more than an hour. Hindi pa ba masakit ang paa mo? You're wearing heels." bulong ni Calen sa likuran ko.

"I'm used to wearing heels." mariing sabi ko bago naglagay ng sampung face mask sa basket na hawak niya.

"That's it! Tapos na!" masayang sabi ko.

Calen sighed in relief. Mabilis siyang pumunta sa counter. Sinundan ko siya at nilabas ang wallet ko para ilabas ang card ko. I have a card too, but I'm trying to maintain my monthly budget for myself.

"Here's the payment—"

"Here," I was cut off by Calen. Inabot ni Calen sa cashier ang credit card niya.

"No, Calen. I have my card here. I can pay—"

"It's fine," putol niya sa akin pagkatapos ay binalik niya sa loob ng wallet ang card niya. Tapos na siyang magbayad.
