We Got Married!

Fifteen

Nathan

"You're one hell of a guy." I said to myself as I looked at the mirror

I think I'm going crazy.

I'm married. Holy shit, I'm married!

Never in my life did I think that I'd be married, and happy.

Is it wrong to be happy? Is it wrong to feel complete and content knowing that I make her happy?

I went downstairs, the snail was alone by herself in the kitchen.

I sat down on one of the stool.

"Hey, don't wait out for me, okay?"

"Mmkay." she said

The snail can't lie though.

"Wife, it's just you. No girls, promise."

"Husband, who cares. Do whatever you want."

I smiled because of the way she addressed me. Husband. I like it.

"Do whatever I want? And you do whatever you want? No thank you, I don't like to share."

I got up from my seat and headed out the door.

"Bye Isaiah." she flashed a smile

"I'll try to leave as soon as I can, promise." I said

She smiled. "Don't make promises you can't keep. Just get home in one piece, ayokong ma-byuda agad."

I left as soon as I got in my car. I know I said I'd take care of it, but I needed to unwind. I headed to a friend's house.

I meant what I said to the snail a while ago.

No girls, just her.

Kim

Whatever happened to "I'll take care of it" aiya. Paano na yan, anong sasabihin ko, what do I say?

Bahala na nga. Lumabas nalang ako para samahan sila. It can wait. Malalaman rin naman nila eh. Eventually.

"Peach!" rinig 'kong sabi ni Andrew

Napatingin ako sa direksyon kung saan nakaupo sila Andrew, di napapansin ni Peach, pero may binabalak ang mga boys. Naupo kami ni Mae sa harap nila para panuorin ang show. Chos. Bad girl ka Kim!

"Yes? Papa Andrew? You made tawag tawag to me?" Peach

"Nasabi ko na ba sayo na ang ganda ng mga mata mo, ang ganda mo, especially kapag nakangiti ka...

"Damn! I'm good at telling lies."

Uhhh. Tatawa na ba kami? Hahaha! Pero di pa tapos eh , mamaya na lang. Si Peach, umirap lang.

"Whatever! Hindi ko narinig yung huling line mo, psh!"

"Tsk, nako Peach, huwag mong pakinggan si Andrew, alam mo ba napanaginipan kita kagabi." Nick

"Weh? Talaga?!" Peach

"Oo! Kelangan pa nga akong gisingin nila Manang eh, sumisigaw daw kasi ako pawis na pawis, nabangungut ata ako." Nick

"Hoy! Tumigil na nga kayo!" Sabi ko

"Oo nga, tama na yang panlalait niyo, barkada niyo pa rin yan." Mae

"Lam mo teh, huwag mong isapuso yung mga sinasabi nila. Hindi ka naman pangit eh, sa lahat ng mga angkan ng unggoy at gorilla, ikaw ang pinakamaganda!"

Sinamaan ako ng tingin ni Peach. "Ewan ko sa inyo!"

"Eto naman! Nag jo-joke lang kami, ang pogi mo kaya!" Mae

"Che! Di ako 'pogi', ew. Kadiri Mae, no way. Not pogi. Maganda is the right term!"

Napatingin ako sa mga kaibigan ko, ang saya saya nila, namin. Little did they know, marami ng magbabago.

Nathan

"Hi Nathan!"

I went inside the court and saw her, she looks like a fcking cheerleader.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"Ohhh nothin', I had nothing better to do."

"Are you my stalker or something?"

She linked her arms on mine. "Oh c'mon Nathan, what's with the attitude? Diba you like me?"

I pushed her away, and looked her straight in the eye. "Cassandra, stop being delusional, okay?! I never liked you! And I never will. You were my chew toy, I don't want you anymore! Just leave me the hell alone! Fvck!"

"This isn't over!"

"It never started." I said and smirked

I grabbed my stuff and walked back to my car, Leon was leaning on the side door "Sup dude." He asked

"This is what I get for meeting you early, I deal with a stalker."

"Huh?" Leon

"Forget about it. I wanna go home."

"Already?! Dude c'mon! It can't be that bad. You've had lots of stalkers!" Leon

"This one's a leech."

"Is she hot?" Leon

I looked at him, with a threatened look. I was gonna say something but I decided not to.

"Kent invited us to go to his club, let's just go there right now."

"Will there be girls?" I asked, already knowing the answer

"No shit! C'mon man!" Leon

"No thanks. I've got a wife waiting for me at home." I said

"A what?! Hahahaha dude! Seriously?!"

I opened the door to my car, and before closing it, I looked at my friend in the most serious face I've got. "I got married." I didn't even bother to see his reaction, I started the car and drove away from the place.

All I can think about now is Andrea. Andrea's eyes, Andrea's lips, Andrea's nose, Andrea's face, Andrea's hair! Andrea!

"Tsk, so much for unwinding, what are you doing to me?..."
