TRE

EVERYTHING'S fine the last two days, si Khai ang nag aayos ng mga papeles sa bahay dahil may mga gawain ako. Our parents made sure that we have a good house, kaya naman kasama sila ni Kiefer sa pag-ayos ng lahat.

He's hands-on with everything, he sometimes barged into my office to get my signature and give me some food, that's why he always wakes up late dahil na rin sa pagod. And I let him sleep, he deserves it and also I always prepare him breakfast on bed.

Ngayon kami lilipat at hanggang ngayon ay nandito pa rin sila Mamma, maraming gamit ang ipinapasok kaya tumutulong si Khai. Siya na din ang nag aayos ng Master's bedroom namin, nagpaalam sila Mamma na may pupuntahan daw sila kaya wala na akong nagawa kung hindi ang magluto. Khai didn't allow anyone inside our bedroom, he was the one who moved all of our things there. Weird but hinayaan ko na lang, maybe he's putting his money there na.

"I'm done!" sigaw ni Khai ng makapasok sa kusina, good thing I was preparing our food. Sweats were visible when he came in but those sweats made him look so good and hot, naka-hubad lang naman siya. 

"Okay, here." Inilapag ko ang pagkaing niluto ko, he smiled that made my brows up. I don't what happen pero mukhang may sariling mga isip ang kamay ko at pinunasan ang katawan niya, halatang nagulat sya ngunit hinayaan niya lang ako. I gave him a shirt and he quickyl wears it.

"Thanks, but I don't like eating alone." saad niya nang aalis na sana ako, hinihintay akong kumuha din ng pagkain ko. I have no choice but to sit in and eat with him, alangan namang iwan ko siya.

NANG matapos kaming kumain sakto namang dumating sila Mamma, na pinipilit kaming magbihis. I kept refusing and telling them that I want and need to work but they were too loud and keep insisting to do what they say. 

"Mamma, cosa sta succedendo?" Tanong ko, habang nagpapalit. They look really susupicious right now and I hate that, alam ko na kasing may balak na naman sila.

(Translation: what's happening) 

"Just change, tapos na ang fiance mo look." sagot ni Mamma habang tinutulungan ako sa damit ko, Lia's not with me dahil may inaasikaso pa siya, the three of us were really busy right now.

Clans all over the word were attacking us, kaya kailangan naming mag-ingat at patumbahin ang ilan sa mga ito. Remembering Khai seeing me covered in blood, was a wrong move. That night I saw how the caring, sweet, and naughty Khai changed.

-Flashback-

"Does Khai know this?"  I stopped shooting when I heard that, seriously? She's asking me that right now, we're in a middle of a fight. 

"No and he doesn't need to know, we're not married yet, that's why he's our when it comes to my mafia life." diretso kong sagot at agad na pinatumba ang kalaban, if he can be open to me sometimes well me I can't do that. I won't change for him, after all this marriage is just an alibi.

We managed to win the battle even if we're outnumbered, masyado nga lang naging madugo ang lahat. I didn't get the time to wash all the bloodstains in my dress that's why I went home with a bloody body and dress, I was about to enter our bathroom when I heard Khai's voice. Shit.

"Is that blood?" he asks before changing the dim light in our room and there's the answer, he scanned me before looking straight into my eyes. 

His frightening and blazing eyes were settled in mine, I don't what happened but I got scared when he stared at me like that. I never see this side of him maybe that's why I'm scared of him. 

"Y-Yes, Khai-" I was about to make an excuse when he cut me off by giving me my towel and a shirt of him. 

"Go and clean yourself, and please don't you dare come home covered in dirty blood. Or else-"

"Or else what?" I asked, challenging him. I'm a very competitive person, hindi pwedeng basta-basta na lang ako magpapatalo. He walk to me and held my waist, making me gasps. I felt his breath in my ear making my body feel so hot, liban sa parang napapaso ang balat ko sa init ng katawan niya.

"You'll be naked, in bed screaming my name." My eyes widened, his word made me run to the bathroom and clean myself. 

-Flashback ends-

Nang matapos ako ay agad akong hinila palabas ni Mamma, nang makita ko si Khai ay pormal din ang suot niya. We looked like we're going to a fancy restaurant to eat with the Royals.

"Okay, let's go!" masayang sambit ni Mom, they were the first ones to get in the car. Clearly stating how excited they are.

"Do you even know what's happening?" Tanong ko kay Khai, he looks at me with amusement. It looks like my beauty is too amusing for him, well he should be ako lang ang meron nan. 

"No clue, c'mon honey." inilahad niya ang kamay at inalalayan papasok, but before I fully got in I stopped and gave him a death glare.

"Cut that honey thing, it's really gross." sambit ko ngunit tinawan niya lamang ako. 

MASYADONG malayo ang byinahe namin, it almost took 1 hour. We're in a kind of place that is full of flowers and trees. Hindi din masyadong matao but you can live here if you want a peaceful and non-toxic life.

"What are we gonna do here?" Tanong ni Khai pero tanging ngiti lang ang isinagot nila sa kanya. Those smile is creeping me.

"Just go," tinulak lang nila kami at may sumalubong sa aming lalake at mga babae, behind them was a set up of camera and lights. I think we'll hold a photoshoot right now, great. 

"I'll be the photographer for your Photoshoot, Mr. and Mrs. Kristofell." pagpapakilala niya, magtatanong pa sana ng ipaliwanag nila Mamma ang lahat, it's our engagement photo shoot.

They've been planning it for a long time and yun din ang rason kung bakit nandito sila, hind naman sila uuwi dito kung wala silang gantong balak. Naghanda na kami at pumwest, masyado akong naiilang dahil napakalapit namin sa isa't isa. I mean, we've never been so close to each other and it's our first time doing this.

"Okay, hold her waist please and face him up then smile. Show me how in love you are." sambit ng photographer. Ginawa naman namin agad, pero mas nailang pa ako sa sumunod na mga pwesto. Even if we're so close to each other it looks like the photographer's not satisfied, he even made us move closer.

"That's good! Closer please," 

Inilapit ko ang sarili ko kay Khai, he's now holding my cheeks while my arms are on his shoulder. Ilang metro nalang ang layo ng mga labi namin, in just a swift movement our lips will meet.

"It's really close," I whispered, slightly moving backward. "But, it seems like you're enjoying it." 

"Yes and I like it. Why, nahuhulog na ba ang isang Ash Nicola sa fiance niya?" ramdam ko ang hininga niya, hindi ko na lamang pinansin ang narinig pero ilang parte ng katawan ko ang nakaramdam ng kuryente.

"No, and never in a million years. I'll never fall especially to a prince like you, never. You'll be a waste of time, Khai. My life is complicated enough, that's why marriage and love are not on my vocabulary." 

NAGPAHINGA muna lahat at naghanda para sa paglipat ng pwesto, it's nearly sunset and we're not finished yet. After our last shoot, all of them were so eager to see our lips met, I can't think straight. I know what I said to Ash earlier, but I don't know the reason why it came out to my mouth.

Her presence made me crazy and I hate to admit that, she always creeps and gives me the shittest butterflies. But, without her saying I know that she's trying to distance herself from me. 

"Son, kapag pinakawalan mo pa si Ashiera mawawalan ka ng pangalan sa Royalty ng mga Kristoffel. Naintindihan mo?" banta ni Mom, I can't help but smirk. She really like her or should I say she really love her.

"You really like her, Mom." saad ko, she smiled looking at Ash who's busy talking on the phone. 

"Yeah, I really like her. I can see that she can take care of you, by the way, give me twins. I want her to be the mother of your child and no one, she's too precious for me, son." Hindi ko inaasahan na yun ang babanggitin ni Mom. I can see that she really likes Ash as my wife.

Tinawag na kami para magpatuloy, this time ay uupo at hihiga kami. Ash was so tensed that I can feel her heart when he lay down on me.

"Okay, Ash lay down on his lap and tried acting like sleeping, and Khai you will hold her hair like you're caressing it while looking at her. Don't forget to smile, Khai. Smile na para bang siya ang taong matagal mo nang pinapangarap na mapa-saiyo." 

Sinunod namin ang gusto ng photographer, sunod kong hinawakan ang bewang ni Ash. Nararamdaman ko ang pagpantay ng hininga niya, we did a lote of pose like Ash sitting on my lap while resting her head on me. Sa dami nang take na ginawa namin ay hindi nakakapagtakang pagod na kami, Ash change her pose and sat on my lap but this tme facing me. I managed to stay calm but my body does not, she leaned it and whisper to my ear

"Body doesn't lie, Khai. It never lies, especially when someone's riding them," she said seductively, I smiled when I heard her gasp. I pulled her closer and place him at the center.

"Then, please him. You little competitive woman." I whisper, making her make a sound. 

"Fuck you, Khai!" mahina niyang sigaw, kahit na gaano pa kapabalan si Ash siya at siya rin sa duloang babagsak. 

"Gladly,"

"Okay last, I want the two of you to show your real feelings. Kayo mismo ang gagawa ng pose niyo." sambit ng photographer na nakapag patuon sa amin, both were afected I can feel it.

"Okay," sagom dahil wala daw silang makitang emoson namin ni Ash. Nakailang pose na kami ngunit wala pa ring nakukuhang maganda ang photographer, ganun din sila Mom. 

So I did what I needed to do, I pulled Ash closer to me and held her cheeks, leaned closer to her lips. I heard my parents gasps with the camera clicking, looking at Ash's eyes, it feels like she's fighting in her own feelings. She's trying to hide the truth.

I leaned and gave her a kiss, I saw how Ash reacted but instead of pulling away she answered my kiss and closed her eyes. Moving my lips slowly, giving her time to pick up. 

NAGULAT ako sa ginawa ni Khai, but I can't fight my emotions anymore. Instead of pushing him away, I answered his kisses. By the time that our lips met, tension and love were visible to both of us. I groaned when I felt his tongue exploring my mouth perfectly, it looks like he's an expert to this. 

He held my waist tighter, pulling me closer. This kiss is making my body feel hot and feel the tension I've never felt before, giving in I open my mouth for him to have full access to my mouth. I felt how his lips rose up, we continued kissing not minding the people behind us.

Naririnig ko ang puri ng photographer at sunod sunod na click ng camera, pati na rin ang tili nila Mamma. Pero mas natuon ako sa pinagsasaluhang halik namin ni Khai. Bawat halik ay may iba't ibang tensyon at pagpipigil, hindi man niya sabihin ramdam ko pa din ang pagpipigil niya. 

Something's wrong, but, I don't know what it is. I can feel emotions on his kiss, it's full of love and temptation. But, why?
