I'M MARRIED TO A STRANGER (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 25

Chapter 25
Not a bad thing

Arianne Shawna's POV:

Napagpasyahan kong umuwi na kasi gabi na din after akong pakainin ni Brett. I didn't know that he has a sweet and soft side of him. I feel so privileged to see that part of him. Maangas kasi at bad boy looking siya sa harap ng camera. Who would have thought?

Brett was so persistent on taking me home and so wala na din naman akong choice because you either walk to go outside of this village or you take your car. Ayako naman maglakad sa dis oras ng gabi at hindi ko naman alam itong lugar na ito. Although hindi naman madilim dahil sa napapaligiran ng street lights ang mga daan dito pero nakakatakot pa din kahit mataas ang security. Baka maligaw pa ko sa lawak ng subdivision nila. You might never know when you will meet danger especially in unknown places. And napansin ko na malayo layo pa ang gate mula sa mismong bahay ni Brett. Hindi ko naman papasakitan ang sarili ko ano.

So ito na nga, I ended up riding with him on his car. Nasa passenger seat ako while he is driving. Palabas na kami ng subdivision nila.

"Ang higpit ng security dito sa subdivision niyo." I begin ranting. Haha.

"That's what I like about it. Keep us safe and secure." Sagot naman niya and he even glanced at me. As much as gusto kong titigan niya ko hindi pwede kasi nagmamaneho siya. Hahaha. Ang landi lang!

"Yeah, right. Pero grabe ang pinagdaanan ko bago ako nakapasok, no!" Sabi ko at talagang nagcrossed arms pa ko. I know, I look like a kid throwing a tantrum. But, I don't care. Nako, dapat naman makonsensya si Brett sa mga effort ko para lang makipag bati sa kanya.

I heard him chuckled. Bwiset! Lagi ako pinagtatawanan ng mokong. Naalala ko na naman yung eksena bago ko nakapasok sa lugar. Ugh!

"OMG! Didn't know ang dami nilang hanash. Did you know na napagkamalan pa akong fan girl mo? Could you believe it? At di lang yun I was accused of being a stalker too. Masyado bang madaming naghahabol sayo para ma generalize nila na halos lahat ng naghahanap sayo e baliw na baliw sayo?" Yeah I know, now I sound like a nagging wife. But he must know what I have gone through!

Tawa naman ng tawa itong kasama ko. Ni hindi man lang siya affected na inis na inis ako habang nagkwekwento.

"Do you think that's funny?" I even raised a brow at him! I know I am being ridiculous and immature. E sa nakakainis kaya.

He nod his head and gave me an amused smile when he sneaked a glance at me. Napairap na lang ako. Ugh! This is all nonsense.

"Why do you always look so adorable when pissed?" He said in between silent laughter. Ugh! He even reached out to pinch my cheek. Ano ba ko bata?! Gods! Why is he so unpredictable? Saya saya niya today tapos naman parang bubble siya na biglang nawawala.

I slapped his hand away pero he was stronger than me he hold my and he brought it to his mouth and gave it a peck. Jusko! Feeling ko nakalimutan kong huminga at napa awang na lang ang mga labi ko. Yung mga fan girls niya sa tyan ko nagchecheer na naman. Hay.

He glanced at me at nahulog na ata ko. I am doomed! Kinindatan ako! Kinindatan niya ko at binigyan ng makalalaglag matres na ngiti. Gusto ko sana yumuko para pulutin ang matres ko at baka makita niya nakakahiya. Pero di ko maalis ang tingin ko sakanya. Yung puso ko panay kalabog lalabas na din ata. Baka kumalat ang mga lamang loob ko sa sasakyan niya. Hindi na niya binitawan ang mga kamay ko.

Nakarating na kami sa metro and since rush hour na it means traffic na. Sweldo pa naman ngayon. Naging tahimik kami pareho so to kill the boredom and dead air between us gusto ko naman magka music.

"Can I turn this on?" I pointed at the radio on his car. He looked at me and then he simply nodded. So ayun pinindot ko na and a familiar song came in.

"Said all I want from you
Is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow
Maybe you'll let me borrow, your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday?
An while we're at it throw in every other day to start"

Tapos narinig ko na na nakisabay na si Brett sa sumunod na verse.

"I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife and you're bleeding
But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it"

Kinakantahan din naman ako dati ng ex ko kasi maganda din boses nun e. Pero iba yung kay Brett. There is something about his singing na parang alam mong sayong sayo niya binibigay ang kanta niya. It was like he was pouring his heart. He feels every word and give his heart unto it. Tagos sa heart. Tapos ang boses niya pa parang sa mga 90's boy band which I really like. He never fails to give me butterflies in my stomach. Crush ko na talaga siya.

OMG! Did I just make amin to myself that I am crushing on Brett? Hala! I am not ready yet. Isa akong babaeng galing sa epic failed na relationship na hindi pa ready to commit again. I am a bit traumatized by my last one.

Girl ang OA! Sita ng isang part ng isip ko. Pero wala naman masama to have a crush on him di ba?

"So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me"

Ano coincedence o parang narinig ata niya ang iniisip ko. Kainis! Kumabog na naman ang puso ko. Heart kalma si Brett lang yan kumakanta nothing serious.

"No I won't fill your mind with broken promises
And wasted time
And if you fall
You'll always land right in these arms
These arms of mine"

Halos tumalon ang puso ko palabas ng ribcage ko nung kinanta niya yan habang nakatingin sakin. Hindi na ko makahinga!

Why do you do this to me Brett?
