Chapter 5

"Daddy! Ang ingay ng vacuum!" I grunted in annoyance as I grabbed the pillow and used it to cover my ear and face from the noise.

I heard someone's familiar bark of laugh. "Hindi ako ang daddy mo, pero pwede mo akong tawaging Daddy."

I felt like my insides became awake because of that voice. F*ck. Why did I freaking forget about it?

"Get up, Xiania. Gutom na 'ko, come on let's eat..."

My brow furrowed as I threw up the pillow towards his direction. Bumangon ako paupo. Vraxx glared at me when it landed straight to his face.

"Bakit hindi ka mauna?! You're disturbing me!" singhal ko.

Vraxx turn off the vacuum as he gave me his full attention. Naka pameywang pa siya nang tumayo sa gilid ng kama ko.

"Gusto ko sabay tayong kumain. I was waiting for you to woke up," his mouth pouted.

"I didn't even slept properly! Ang aga ko tuloy nagising... I was too distracted because of you!"

Umangat ang kilay ko. "Ano naman ang kinalaman ko sa pag tulog mo?" I irritatingly asked while getting off from the bed.

"What do you think I would feel if you're freaking sleeping just a meter away from me— wearing that freaking clothes?" he snorted in a gruff voice.

I scowled at him. "What's wrong with my clothes?"

Bumaba ang tingin ko sa suot na pantulog. I am only wearing a black lingerie. Kung nakikita man niya ito kagabi, hindi ko na kasalanan pa iyon! I slept with my comforter wrapped all over my body. Anong problema niya roon?

Vraxx surveyed me from head to toe. I saw how his adams apple harshly moved. My eyes narrowed.

"You're really lusting over me..." I stated.

Nanliit ang mga mata niya. "Are you trying to seduce me, Xiania?"

I grasped. "You're unbelievable Caldwell! Tigilan mo na nga ako!" natatawang iling ko, bago tinungo ang banyo sa loob ng silid.

"I am f*cking turned on right now, Xiania!" I heard his frustrated grunts, causing me to laugh so hard.

Ibinagsak ko ang pintuan ng bathroom nang makapasok ako. The shower area has its own glass door. Since I am in a mood to take a bath for an hour or two, maybe I will use the tub this time.

As I caressed my skin, Vraxx face suddenly crossed inside my mind.

He was indeed a good looking man. He has a nice built of body. Perfect muscles in a right places. Hindi nakakaasiwa sa paningin, it was actually hot.

I am not really sure if I'm attracted to him or not, but honestly, I find him sexy. Hindi ko naman masabi kung type ko ba siya o hindi, dahil kailanman ay hindi naman ako nagkagusto sa mga lalaki.

Ang hirap din pala ng ganoon. Hindi mo tuloy agad makukumpirma ang nararamdaman mo.

Wala rin naman akong pakialam kung may ganoon na pakiramdam si Vraxx sa akin. It's just fine if he's lusting over me. Hindi iyon nakakabastos sa paningin at pakiramdam ko. I don't know why, but I am not offended with that thought. I was even confident. Confident with the fact that I have an effect on him. Nagkakaroon tuloy ako ng kung ano anong idea para asarin siya. I am not sure if it's good nor bad though. Ayaw ko nga palang mapalapit sa kanya.

Living here with that Caldwell makes me so anxious about what might gonna happen in the future. I don't want to over think anymore. I just want to go with the flow and be honest with myself. I trust myself. Kung hindi magiging mabuti at successful ang pagsasama naming ito, wala na akong magagawa doon. What important is to do everything to make things fine and right at all times.

"Xiania, what took you so long?" Vraxx asked, cocking his eyebrows with his suspicious eyes, after I came out from the bathroom.

I tightly tied up my robe's ribbon in between. "What are you doing here?"

Naabutan ko lamang siya dito na mag isa sa walk in closet na para sa akin. He has his own, kaya bakit siya dito pupunta?

Naka sandal siya sa pader at malagkit ang tingin sa akin. Magkakrus pa ang braso niya sa dibdib.

"Don't answer me with a question, Xiania."

I rolled my eyes. "Vraxx, ano naman sa'yo kung matagal akong naligo? Pati ba naman iyon ay po-problemahin mo?"

His lips tugged up. "I was just asking, easy..." He weaved both of his hands. Umayos rin siya ng tayo.

"Labas," I pointed at the door while giving him a sharp look.

Ngumuso siya at bumaba ang tingin sa katawan ko. "Nakita ko naman na 'yan—"

My eyes widened. "And so? Kailangan papanoodin mo pa ulit?"

Ang gagong 'to!

Vraxx chuckled and shook his head. "Just kidding, Wife. Go on, fix yourself. Let's go to the Mall later."

"Bakit?"

His brow shot. "We'll gonna buy some furnitures and other stuffs right? Sinabi mo kagabi."

Napatango ako nang maalala nga iyon. "Okay, now leave."

Vraxx even mimicked what I've said before he stormed out of the closet when I was about to punch him.

"Isip bata," I murmured to myself as I faced the drawer.

The moment I opened each drawers and cabinets inside, my brow creased continuously in confusion.

"What the hell?" I uttered in disbelief.

Ang bawat damit at iba ko pang mga gamit ay nakasalansan na doon nang maayos. It was even arranged perfectly according to its colors.

Vraxx was the only person who came first in my mind. He did this, I am sure of it. Naalala ko pa kagabi ang mga ginawa niyang weirdo sa paningin ko.

Siguro ay natural lamang iyon kay Vraxx, he was probably bored earlier that's why he chose to fix my things before I can even woke up.

I went downstairs with my growling empty stomach. Papasok pa lamang ako sa kusina nang mamataan ako ni Vraxx. His eyes goggled and immediately pushed Iri towards the dirty kitchen.

"Fuck! Bilis!"

The moment I entered the kitchen, Iri wasn't there anymore. Vraxx faced me while wearing his usual enigmatic smile. Umirap ako at itinulak ang upuan na para sa akin at doon umupo.

Vraxx cleared his throat while serving every food that he cooked for our breakfast. My eyes automatically surveyed every plates, making my insides churned in hungriness.

"Aw, sarap na sarap na agad hindi pa nga natitikman," pang aasar ni Vraxx.

My dagger eyes met his. "Oo parang ikaw sa akin. Naglalaway lang, hindi naman makatikim," I smirked.

Vraxx stopped scooping his own food and look at me with offensive face. "Grabe!"

I chuckled. "Anyway, bakit mo nga pala pinaalis si Iri? Kumain na ba 'yon?"

I started to eat my own food, Vraxx did the same thing. Nasa harapan ko siya at mukhang ganado din na kumain dahil sa luto niya. It's just a fried rice and some usual fried foods in breakfast.

"You're only wearing a lace bustiers. What do you want me to do? Hayaan siyang pagpantasyahan ka?" he said in a ridiculous tone.

I stopped from eating and gave him my full attention. "What's your problem with my clothes, Vraxx?"

Napansin ko kasi na ilang beses na yata siyang nagkaroon ng problema sa suot at mga damit ko. I just don't like it.

Vraxx sipped on his water first before explaining. "What I am saying is that, you're only wearing that thin and almost see through top. You're showing too much skin, kakain tayo tapos kasama natin ang ibang tao—"

Halos magpintig ang tainga ko sa mga rason niya. Naliit ang mga mata ko.

"So, that's your point? You don't want anyone looking and watching me with their gawking eyes? Gusto mo ikaw lang? Well, ganoon din naman ang ginagawa mo, so anong ipinagkaiba mo sa kanila? You're also 'ibang tao' for me, Vraxx. Baka nakakalimutan mo na kahapon lang kita nakilala."

His jaw clenched. "Yes, I know that. But what makes me different from them? Well, I am telling you Xiania. I am your Fiancee, your soon to be husband—"

I humorlessly cackled. Iritado at sira na ang araw. "We're still not sure about that."

Vraxx scoffed. "Now you're saying that? Tss, let's just end this argument. Nasa harap tayo ng pagkain—"

I shrugged nonchalantly. "You started—"

"Stop it Xiania," Vraxx firmly said.

I rolled my eyes and just continued eating. Hindi na ako nagsalita pa kagaya ng sinabi niya. I am pissed too. Hindi ko talaga nagustuhan ang mga sinabi niya. He doesn't get my point too, kaya siguro nauwi sa maliit na argumento ang nangyari kanina. I guess, I will just talk to him about it later.

"Don't bother washing the dishes, ako na. Go to our room. We'll talk about what happened awhile ago," Vraxx spoke after a long silence when he saw me in front of the sink.

"I know. Hindi ko naman huhugasan, dahil ayaw kong maging katulong mo."

I placed the plate with my spoon and fork on the top of it, over the sink.

Tapos nang kumain si Vraxx nang umalis ako sa kusina. I sluggishly walked through the staircase as I went back to our room. Hindi pa ako nakaka isang minuto sa loob, bumukas na muli ang pintuan, tanda na pumasok na siya.

"I'm sorry..." Vraxx began.

I was actually stunned by his words. Why is he apologizing? Akala ko ay ang ibig sabihin ng pag uusapan namin ngayon ay itutuloy namin ang naudlot na pagtatalo kanina sa hapag. Iyon pala ay tatapusin na ang away kanina? Well, I'm surprised huh?

Humalukipkip ako't hinarap siya. We're just less one meter away from each other.

"Vraxx, kung gusto mo na magkasundo tayo, pwede ba na huwag mo akong pag bawalan?"

He sighed and nodded quietly.

"I don't want anyone stopping nor dictating me from what I am doing or what I am supposed to do. Ikaw na mismo ang nag sabi na ikaw ang magiging asawa ko, if that's the truth then might as well understand me."

Vraxx closed his eyes and put his hand on the back of his head, nodding a bit.

"I already told you, I am different. Hindi mo ako ma-uuto sa kagaganyan mo. If you think that being possessive is sweet, then fuck you. Hindi mo iyon magagawa sa 'kin. Sorry to step on your ego."

Ayaw ko lang na masyadong naro-romanticized 'yong pagiging possessive nila. Kung sa iba ay nagagawa niya iyon, pwes sa akin ay hindi.

Vraxx licked his lips as he stepped forward to reach for my elbows. Hinihingal ako sa haba ng sinabi, dahilan para umatras ako nang kaunti at mahinang itinabing ang kamay niyang sinusubukan akong hulihin.

"I'm not yet done—"

"Yes baby. I understand now—"

Umiling ako. "No, I want you to know more about me..."

Vraxx pursed his lips and nodded his head in defeat. Pagod siyang tumingin sa mga mata ko.

"I'll repeat, huwag mo na akong pag babawalan sa mga gusto kong gawin o suotin. I can wear whatever I want. You have no say on it, even if you're already my husband."

Mariin ang pagkakasabi ko ng bawat salita, pilit pinapaintindi at ipinapasok sa utak niya ang lahat. Dahil baka sa paraang iyon ay maintindihan niya ang ipinupunto ko. I am not mad at him, I was just pissed from what he have said awhile ago.

Vraxx lowered down his head. "I know, I am at fault. I am sorry about what I've said... Hindi na mauulit," his voice was too soft.

Nakababa ang tingin niya at sumusulyap lamang sa akin. His eyes screaming innocence, salungat sa pagkakakilala ko sa kanya.

How can a brute do that? Para siyang isang matapang na leon kanina, ngunit ngayon ay parang naging maamong pusa.

I heaved a sigh. "Are we cool now? Come on, let's go to the Mall." I choose to divert our topic.

"Aren't you gonna change your clothes?"

I rolled my eyes exasperatedly. Bago pa ako bumuga ng apoy, mabilis na siyang umapila.

"N-no! W-what I mean is, hindi ka ba mag papalit? A-ayan na ba ang pang lakad na susuotin mo?" bahagya siyang nag panic sa sasabihin dahil sa reaksyon ko.

I groaned. "Don't worry okay?! Mag susuot ako ng blazer! Masyado ka namang takot na may makakita ng balat ko—"

"It's not like that Xiania," mahinahon niyang sabi.

I ignored him and marched towards my walk in closet. Naramdaman ko naman na sumunod siya.

"Fine. I am bothered because of your clothes. But can you blame me? Kitang kita ko na ang lahat sa itaas mo—"

My jaw hardened as I faced him again with my sharp eyes. Napalunok siya at natahimik.

"Ano ba ang punto mo, Vraxx? Na ayaw mo na libugan ako ng ibang mga lalaki? Eh iyon na nga ang ginagawa mo ngayon! Tapos anong sasabihin mo? Na alam mo kung paano mag isip ang mga manyak na iyon? Oo nga, kabisado mo na! Kabisado mo na, dahil ganoon ka din at isa ka sa kanila!" I can't help but to slightly raised my voice.

I thought he already got my point, pero hindi pa pala. Gosh, too much dissapointments.

Vraxx blow a loud breath, a sign that he's already giving up.

"Tangina, ang kulit..." he muttered under his breath, looking at me with a hint of amusement and annoyance. Sinakop niya ang natitirang distansya namin, bago inangat nang kaunti ang top bustier ko.

His rough fingers accidentally brushed against my nipple, making my hair all over my skin puckered up. My lips parted in shock because of the unfamiliar sensation of what he did.

"Right, my baby won in this fight. You'll probably won over and over again... I doubt kung mananalo pa ba 'ko, pero wala naman akong pakialam kung palagi akong talo," then Vraxx smirked while staring at my eyes. "I'm sorry for being possessive, I'll promise to understand your perspectives more..."
