Chapter Five: Score

I turned my back on him when he called me. I felt nothing unlike before, but I know that I am in love with him after all these years.

I don't know why I'm turning my back on him, as long as I know I'm not okay.

He chased me in his car, I didn't listen to him. But he was so stubborn and determined to get me in his car.

"I said you fvcking in!" He cried hard, his jaw clenched and his dark glare was trembling my hips.

"Who the fvcking are you to fvcking tell me what to do?" I shouted I don't mind people around, looking at us. I'm burning with anger now, I don't know who, if it's Drive who I know has betrayed me again, Kent who showed up, and if it's for me!

"Just come in, Ari." He lovingly grabbed my hand, even though his voice was soft but hard.

I cried. Fvck! Until now, I am still like this. To him, I still show my weakness, I still cry. This is shit! He plunged me into his chest, while I sobbed without sound.

I am in a lot of pain, I can't take this anymore. I don't know why, but I'm crying. Seeing him here now while I'm like this. I'm fainting like anytime I just want to disappear.

When I'm done crying while he's caressing my back that's when the image of Deive giving me a dark glare popped up. I suddenly pushed him so he was surprised.

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" I just stared at him, he changed a lot. "Ari," he took my hand as he slid it over his lips.

I try to remove you but he holds it tightly.

"Tell me, hmm?"

"Done kissing and hugging my wife?" I was stunned when I heard his voice, even if I didn't turn around I knew who's the owner of that voice.

"Who are you?" Kent puts me behind him, I want to stop him but when I see how Deive looks at me with his dark glare that's when I know that I am torn!

"I am her husband," he said firmly, gritting his teeth, clenching his jaw and looking deeply at me.

I could feel the tension building between the two of them.

"I am her best friend."

He mocked, "You're just a friend but you act like you have a right for her when you don't have one."

"Deive!" mixed with threats in my voice, he laughed.

"You're on his side, I get it now why you ran away on your photoshoot." He laughed out loud, wiping himself while biting his lower lip. "You're unfair hon, you really are."

"Am I still wrong? I fvcking heard you moan in that men's bathroom and you fvcking told me that I am fvcking unfair! You idiot!" I burst all my feelings towards him, all the hatred, fvck!

"Fvck wife! Let's go home, we continue this discussion there, privately.'' He closed our distance, Kent tried to the barrier but Deive was so hesitant that he decided to get me.

"W-what is this Ari?" I give him an apologetic look and go with Deive because I need to pull him away from Deive.

He helps me get into his car, we are side by side so I can inhale his scent.

His vision was still dark as he looked at the road. I want to say something and just want to retract what I said to him earlier but I don't have the strength to tell him that.

The car stopped in front of our house but we did not get out.

"You talk,"

"H-ha?"

"Tell me what you want to say, tell me everything you hate me for. Tell me everything that I have to change." He faced me, he lifted my chin, and let our eyes lock, he stopped the car.

"N-nothing," I secretly cursed in my mind when I heard myself stuttering.

"Really, Ariz? But your eyes are telling the different way, hon. Tell me," his eyes widened as he looked at me.

"I said nothing, let's go inside."

"Not until you talk about the issue."

"That's not a problem Deive."

"Really?"

"Why Deive? What do you expect?" I laughed questioning him, his expression changed.

"H-hon."

"I don't have feelings for you from the very beginning, you know that. Everyone knows that we are married for business, that this is what our parents want. Don't assume things," I laughed, he slowly released my chin.

"Deive, we know we didn't love each other in the first place."

"Stop it!"

"Why? Did I step on your ego?" Yes, that's it, think of that way Ariz!

"Why do you fvcking sound like a jealous wife when you shouted what you heard in the men's bathroom?"

"I am not jealous Deive, I am concerned with your reputations." I reasoned out, what's a pointless reason, Ariz.

"Really? How did you know that I am in the men's bathroom? Did you stalk me? Is that why my sister said you just left suddenly when you finished? Did you see anyone with me?" he asked, one question after another but I remained silent.

"Fvcking answer me Ariz!"

"You stop shouting, I am not deaf and I am near you, idiot!"

"Okay, answer me." He said more calmly now.

"I am not, I just happened to be in the men's bathroom because, hmm, ahh." Fvck! I can easily get past my professors before but when will he? Shit, this is not happening to me.

"You are not a good lying honey." He licked his lower lip, pitying my mouth because he is fvcking good-looking hot in that way! "Don't fvcking parted your lips because I am tempted, Ariz!"

"I'm not doing anything, Deive."

"That's it, you're not doing anything yet but I'm going crazy." He whimpered and suddenly covered my mouth with his wet lips. I was shocked.

Wtf?! I was angry but I just found myself accepting his lips for me, entering and squirting at my lips. Damn it!

We were both panting in the air when we decided to break our lips. "Damn! This is holy shit, sweet!" he said as he once again covered my lips completely.

I let him, I give more access to him. Fvck! What the hell is this, Ariz? When I realized what we were doing, that's when I pushed him and cried to get out of his car.

I walked in a hurry so he wouldn't catch up with me. I promise to myself that I will never give him a space in my heart, I will never be one of his girls.

I immediately closed the door of our room, I sobbed as I remembered that. I'm tired, I don't know what to do. There are many problems in my life. I was beyond happy and content but when I have these feelings for him that I am not sure that's when I fvcking realize that this life of mine is the worst!

"Ariz, open this. Hon, please open this. Let's talk without shouting hon, let's talk properly." I shook a few times even though he didn't see me, I covered my mouth so as not to suppress my sob.

Why am I just now hurt? Why did he just come today? Why just now? What the fvck this life is!

I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep on our floor while crying but I felt something suddenly lift me and put me in our bed. I didn't see who it was but maybe one of our maids since I gave nanny Yna the duplicate of our room.

In the morning I wake up because of the rays of the sun penetrating our curtains. I groaned and stretched my body then suddenly I remembered what happened yesterday, I lost my good mood.

That early morning was just the beginning!

I jumped up, then quickly entered our bathroom and brushed my teeth. My face was sour when I looked in the mirror there, I even smiled to myself.

I rolled my eyes, but also immediately lost my weary eyes when I saw my husband taking a bath in our shower naked. As in, there's no clothes or anything on his body!

"Fvck!" I muttered curses, his eyes widened and covered his butt!

What the fuck? Why did he fvcking cover his butt instead of his-damn it!

"I didn't see anything!" I preceded him then turned away.

"I didn't say anything," he answered.

"Shut up!" He let out a little soft chuckle.

"Okay."

"Hurry up there!"

"Why?"

"I'm brushing my teeth!"

"I'm taking a bath."

"Ughh!"

"I'm gonna cover myself, finish what you're doing."

"Shut up." I have nothing else to say but that word.

"I'm gonna take this bath for a few seconds."

"Don't talk."

"Why?"

"Do what I fvcking said!" He fell silent so I immediately lost my annoyance with him, which is good.

I didn't bother to look at him and just hurried to brush and then wash.

I was in the middle of tasting Chef Liza's dish when my mom showed up and was extremely fuming mad.

"Where is Deive?!" My forehead creased when she was looking at my husband. I raised an eyebrow but he didn't move. "Where is your husband?"

"Why are you looking at him?"

"I want your husband now!" Why do I even have these feelings that have a different meaning and used to be with me but I laughed in my mind.

"Hon, did you see my wallet and Rolex?" He asked me while walking while adjusting his long sleeve.

He was shocked to see mommy in front of him, "I need to talk to you."

"For what?" He simply looked at me as if asking me, I shrugged off.

"I want you now, Deive."

"What do you want to discuss about my husband, mom?" I meddle in their conversation.

"You have no right to interfere or ask any more questions, Ariz."

"Why wouldn't I? You want my husband, for what? Clear your sentences and the words you're saying."

"Hon,"

"I know you're itchy but that's my husband, and at least respect me as his wife."

"Hon, of course, she can't take me that easily." He walks towards me, he approaches me, he kisses my temple.

There it is again, just one word from him made me soften immediately. Nothing, maybe life is really like that, it's like it's hard. Because he knew very well what word to use to make me fall for him.

"Really?" My mom mocked him, Deive was suddenly stunned.

"What do you want?"

"I need some fresh air, you have a project in Cebu right? And your wife couldn't come, so I will focus on you." I glared at her, I wrapped my hands around my husband's waist. I can feel him stiffening but he hugs me tightly.

"I will come with him," my plan is not to come there, I just want to be here to think and focus but I want to be with my husband.

My mom is a slut and will take Deive away from me, so even I know that she will vaguely attract Deive. I will still make sure that it will never happen, no way and it will never be.

"You sound like a threatened darling."

"What if I will tell this to dad, huh?" She paled when told her that, I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate to leave you.

As much as I know, he loves me more than you fvcking slut!

"You can't do that!"

"Yes, I am," I smirked.

"What if I tell him what's the score between you and your boy best friend, Kent Davins hmm? Sounds familiar?'' I formed my fist into a ball, I suddenly got cold when Deive suddenly released me then looked at me carefully.

"Tell me about him," I didn't move or say anything because I seemed to have lost my balance at all.

"Why can't you speak, you want me to tell him, darling?" Mommy's meditation.

"I'm not asking you," he whispered to mommy and looked at me again. "You tell me, what's the score behind you two? I wanna hear something amazing! Did you two have unforgettable moments like fvcking each other-" I didn't let him finish his words because I slapped him hard.

His mouth is as rude as his words. What did he think of me?

I gasped in anger as I looked at him sharply.

"Are you judging me, Harrington?"

"Did it sound like that, Mrs. Harrington?" My mouth tightened and then he was shot with an evil look, how dare he!

"Good morning, aunt and Ari." His smile was wide looking at me as he walked closer.

How did he fvcking know where I live?
