Chapter 31"Hubby, say ah." I told Kent as I was about to feed him the marshmallow, but I ended up laughing when he frowned at me. He looks so cute when he frowns."Wow, you're so handsome!" I said to him after I let go of the marshmallow I was holding and pinched both of his cheeks."Ouch! Ouch! Wife! D*mn! S-stop it!" He struggled to speak as I kept pinching his cheeks. I couldn't help but laugh. When Kent curses, he looks hot in my eyes.He held both of my hands and slowly removed them from his cheeks, and the next thing I knew, he was on top of me. He's so quick and strong. It feels like just a moment ago we were facing each other, and now he's on top of me and I'm trapped.I pouted and tried to free myself, but I couldn't, he's a big guy. What chance do I have? I looked up at the sky, and I immediately saw the pattern of Virgo in the sky."Now, I'll never eat marshmallow ever again," Kent said weakly, but I could hear him."Marshmallows are so delicious," I said with a laugh. I t
Chapter 32"Let's go swimming before we eat," I told Kent. He nodded and took off his t-shirt right in front of me. I tried to look away, but after less than a minute, I found myself looking at him again."What are you laughing about?" I asked him, furrowing my brows."You already-" I didn't let him finish speaking, I immediately pounced on him, and he ended up lying on the blanket he had laid earlier, while I sat on his waist and kissed him.One English word, one kiss, right? I smirked as I felt him kissing me back, and then I pulled away, leaving a lipstick mark on the side of his lips."Naughty," he said to me. I was about to pinch his cheeks again when he held both of my hands. I tried to pull away, but he was too strong, and in one swift move, he reversed our positions."Not so fast, Wife.""Why do you keep speaking English again?" I said, pouting. He sighed."Okay, fine. I won't." He looked away from me and moved away from being on top of me, helping me to stand up."There's...
Chapter 33'Hey Wife. Good Morning. I miss you so much. Let's see each other tonight.' I immediately smiled upon reading Kent's message. It's six in the morning. He wakes up early.I was about to hit reply when I received another text message, and my smile vanished as soon as I saw the sender's name—Jiro.'Hi Babe. I miss you like crazy. It's been one fvcking week. Please, let's see each other tonight.' There were sad faces at the end of his message. Ugh. He's acting like a child. Why didn't he invite Aria to go out tonight instead of me?!So, I replied to Jiro before Kent. 'I'm busy.' I gave him a straightforward answer, and within two minutes, I received a call from him. I sighed. Even though we have some history together, and another news flash—we're still together. He still has some rights over me, even though he's cheating on me with my step-sister Aria. He's still my boyfriend. My first love. The boy who taught me how to love. Deep down, I still care for him."Fine," I replied t
Chapter 34As soon as I diverted my gaze from Kent and Aria and turned my attention back to Jiro, I didn't want him to notice what I was watching outside. 'W-what?!' That's the only word I managed to say. Damn! I am not even in the mood now. All I wanna do right now is lay down in my bed and cry my heart out loud.Seeing Kent kissing another girl feels like hell. Why does it hurt more than seeing Aria and Jiro kiss? I don't understand."Babe... I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?" Jiro asked me. My heart started beating faster, especially when he pulled out a black box from his pocket and opened it in front of me.It's a diamond ring.I closed my eyes tightly as tears started streaming down, and I am even breathless right now as memories of Jiro and I flash back in my mind."Babe, what are you doing?" Jiro asked me while we were sitting on a bench in the parking lot of Saint Catherine Genetics, waiting for Samantha."Babe," I replied to him and immediately hugged his han
Chapter 35"Hey, Babe. Wait up," Jiro said as I was about to walk away from him. "Don't walk away from me," he added. He hugged me around the waist and rested his chin on my shoulder."Babe." He chuckled, which made me even more embarrassed. "Jiro, seriously!" I pouted and playfully pinched his side, to which he responded by giving me a kiss on the cheek. I'm just sixteen, and he said he'll only kiss me on the lips when I turn eighteen."Stop teasing me," I told him, pretending to be annoyed, but the truth is, I'm really giddy. Hihi! This is one of the reasons why I love Jiro so much. He never runs out of ways to make me feel loved. Every day, he has something new up his sleeve.Minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into days. Days turned into months, and I didn't even notice. One day, Jiro's parents bought the house next to ours."Babe, we don't have to be together only during the day anymore... it's now twenty-four seven," he said, and I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. I also
Chapter 36"You should accept Jiro's engagement proposal." Just hearing his voice made my heart flutter, the butterflies in my stomach returned. I didn't look at him and kept gazing at the sky. Until I felt him standing beside me.Silence filled us as his words sank in. Accept Jiro's proposal?! What?! Why? I don't understand! I don't want to end up with Jiro, especially now that I love Kent!I faced Kent. He was looking at me too, but I couldn't read his thoughts. This is now or never. I don't want to regret in the end, whatever comes next. I'm going to say it, so I won't have any regrets later."I don't love Jiro anymore." I averted my gaze from him and looked back at the sky. I could see the familiar stars that I always see."If I end up with him, I'll age prematurely.." I was about to continue what I wanted to say when I heard Kent softly laugh, so I looked at him. Damn! That smile! I fell even more in love."What's so funny?" I asked him in confusion, and he just shook his head an
Chapter 37As Kent wanted, I will answer Jiro's marriage proposal with a 'yes' later, but before that, Mommy invited us to enjoy ourselves by the beach.My parents and Jiro's parents are on the seashore, sunbathing on loungers, while the four of us are swimming not far away. It's eight in the morning, and the water is refreshingly cool, with the sun shining brightly."Kent, let's go there!" My irritation surged as soon as I heard Aria's voice! I turned around to where they were, and once again, I saw her hanging on to Kent like a snake!It's infuriating! I'm restraining myself from catching some jellyfish here and when I catch a lot, I'll throw them at Aria! She's so shamelessly flirtatious, always!"Hey, Babe. You look so pissed. What's wrong?" Jiro asked me. He suddenly appeared in front of me. I glared at him and swam away, unable to stand seeing his face, which only made my blood boil even more.I kept swimming until only a little sand was left beneath my feet. I don't care anyway
Chapter 38I can't help but look at the sky, illuminated by the full moon and the twinkling stars that never cease. I sigh. This is really it. There's no turning back. This night will be a very, very long night. Jiro invited me to the gazebo because he has something to tell me, although I already have an idea of what it is. Still, I went along, pushed by everyone.Jiro guided me until we reached the center of the gazebo, where the fountain is located. There, I saw a lot of floating candles, each one a different color."It's beautiful," I couldn't help but praise Jiro's effort, and suddenly I forgot all my annoyance with him."I'm glad you like it, Babe," he replied to me. I smiled at him as he helped me sit by the edge of the fountain, while he sat in front of me.We stared into each other's eyes, and for some unknown reason, the familiar rapid heartbeat returned, the one I thought I would only feel with Kent.He held my hand, and if I hadn't quickly thought about it, I might have pul
