Tourney of Beguiling (North Series #2: Fausea)

Chapter 19

"What happened to your neck?" Bellamy gave a weird look on my scarf around my neck. "Ang init init tapos may tali ka pa sa leeg."

Padabog akong sumalampak sa kanyang sofa.

I shook my head and grab the bowl of popcorn. I went straight here when Rhyno went to the office. The bodyguards were much discreet now. Pinag-usapan namin kagabi na ayaw kong may mga kasamang bodyguard kaya mahaba pang paliwanagan bago siya napapayag.

"I badly need a work."

He chuckled and focused his attention on the TV.

"Bakit mo pa kailangang magtrabaho? You're the wife of Rhyno Villarojo. Pwede ka nang magwaldas everyday without working."

I pouted. Panandalian lang naman ito. I need a back-up once we part ways.

"Ang problema, ano ba ang alam ko?"

His jaw dropped at my statement. "If you are searching for something to do, just do charity works. Be a philanthropist? Anything where you can put the wealth of your husband to good cause."

"Being that kind of person is a voluntary calling. What I want is to get a job to earn." I spat.

He heaved a sigh and pulled me to lay on his chest. He caressed my back.

"I know that the past few months has been so difficult for you. Pero Fau, okay na. You don't have to worry for the future kasi alam ko naman na hindi ka pababayaan ng asawa mo."

Bigo akong napabuntong hininga.

Nasa huli talaga ang pagsisisi. Maybe if I didn't treated life that easy before, I could resort to my passion. But that is the thing, I think I am yet to discover it. Masyado nang huli para sa akin.

"Bakit 'di mo subukang maging vlogger?" May halong biro 'yon.

Napahalakhak siya nang hinampas-hampas ko ang kaniyang braso.

"Gaga ka! Edi mas pinag-initan na ako ng mother-in-law ko!"

Whole day kong kasama si Bell. Lumabas kami nang mag ala-una. We tour around metro just like before and yeah....shopping.

Ito lang talaga ang line na pinakamagaling ako.

"Saan ka galing?" Rhyno immediately asked while sitting on the living room, eyes on his laptop. Nakapambahay na ito.

I put my aviators down as the bodyguards left the shopping bags on the staircase. Hinatid lang ako ni Bellamy sa pinto, mukhang takot nang makita ang mga nakabantay na guards sa bukana ng penthouse.

"Hang-out with friends. You know, the usual."

I sat on the single-seater sofa across him. Nag-angat ito ng tingin sa akin at napatingin sa aking paa nang hilutin ko ito pagkatanggal ng heels.

"Anyways, nagdinner ka na?" I casually asked when he didn't reply at napapasulyap lang sa akin.

"Hinihintay kita."

Napalunok ako sa kaniyang tinuran. "Anong oras ka nag-out?"

"five pm, I was hoping to spend the afternoon here with my wife pero mukhang busy siya sa iba."

I frowned when I hint a sarcasm on his voice.

"Bellamy is harmless." Giit ko.

Napaangat siya ng tingin. "So it's Bellamy Bautista again, huh? I thought you mentioned friends? Plural?"

Natahimik ako. I remember that his last memory with Bellamy is the assumption that were together. He does not have a clue that the guy is gay.

He stood up and put a paper on the center table.
