Athena kept walking beside Pierre, lahat ng ginagawa nito, nakabantay lang siya. She asked him a while ago to let her ride stormy—her Arabian black horse — but this hubby of hers just walking like he didn't hear her at all!
And that's pissing the hell out of her, sa totoo lang! Because she miss stormy so much and she just want to ride her, not to have a race that she used to do.
“If I have to ask you twice, that’s to close to begging.” she said in very serious voice.
Pierre who was drinking water stilled. But since he knew Athena got injured with riding horse few years ago, mabilisan siyang lumayas sa harapan ng asawa at kumaripas ng takbo.
"Pierre Caleb Montoya!" tili ni Athena.
Again, this is the first time his wife called him by his whole name and that is shouting danger. f**k!
"Nope!" he said and closed the door. Mabuti na lang at may basement ang bahay niya, this basement save his life today. Thanks God!.
Athena was still sulking but Pierre just ignored it. Alam niyang hindi 'yon magandang gawin sa asawa niya pero wala siyang pagpipilian.
Mas maigi na ang ganito kahit na sana hindi niya kayang hindi pagtuunan ng pansin ang asawa kaysa naman mabalian na naman ng buto dahil sa katigasan ng ulo.
She loves horses, to the point that she bought a hectares of land and made it a farm. Full of horses.
"Pierre"
"Ops?" aniya lang saka naktutok lang sa television. He is avoiding 'Violence' as much as he could. Alam niyang galit pa din sa kanya ang babae kaya naman halos hindi siya maka tingin dito.
They just finished dinner and now watching in the living room after a few hours of hiding from the basement.
He's afraid. Truly he is.
He's not a p***y. It's just that, ayaw niyang magalit ng tuluyan sa kanya ang asawa. Heck! He waited for decades to be in this stage of his life for Christ sake!
"Tumawag pala si Adrian kanina. Sabi niya pumunta ka daw sa bahay niya ngayon mga bandang 8.kung hindi ka daw magpapakita, kakatayin ka daw niya"
Athena is not bluffing tho. Sinabi talaga iyon ng pinsan niya.
"don't want to go" anang Pierre
Athena snorted "Hindi ka takot?"
Pierre look at his wife flatly. "Babe. Sa sampung sinabi ng pinsan mong 'yon, maswerte ka na kung may isang tama.
Gago pa sa gago' yon, kala mo ba?" he even made a 'pfft' sound.
"Isusumbong kita"
Pierre gasp "Babe!"
"What?" Athena just wanted to have a conversation to her man. Since this creature is avoiding her. She needs to be smart and act like she doesn't notice anything.
Pierre pouted. "Yaan mo siya. Hindi ako pupunta period"
"bakit naman?okay lang naman sa'kin e. You can go. I'm letting you have the time for your friends" aniya. meaning she didn't feel the need to give permission, but she felt the need to ask permission. that's what the 'Emphasizing of letting' are for.
And for Pierre, he knew in his heart right now that he found a keeper, he better protect her at all costs. Not every woman, preferably the ones who is in relationships can have the wisdom like his wife’s.
And for Athena she have this kind of thinking and feelings that it's written like this in her mind and heart 'treat the king right and he will never leave you' because she knew now by the fact that– she needs him.
And her breathing now is very dependent on him. Pero ang totoo, natatakot din siya sa mga nararamdaman niya ngayon.
Paano na lang kapag malam ng asawa niya ang totoong dahilan ng pagbitaw niya sa sarili niyang kompanya?
Mandidiri din kaya ito gaya ng iba? Set aside her cousins who knew all her happenings though she didn't tell them but they have their own ways at alam niyang ayaw lang ng mga itong ungkatin ang mga pangyayari.
Kahit naman mga isip bata at mga baliw ang mga pinsan niya, they know how to respect someone's life. And that includes the non-interfere with the sensitive issues of someone.
Unless that person will ask help then they are all ears.
"Babe. It's Not about the permissions. It's about I want and I don't. I want to go but I don't like to leave you. At kung papipiliin ako kung barkada o asawa, ikaw at ikaw ang pipiliin ko.
I’m a married man now, and even if you let —he gave emphasized to the word 'let' — me, hindi pa din ako pupunta unless it's a serious matter or emergency. Then I will be willing to give my 100 percent support.
But if it is just for fun, then you will not see me go there or anywhere. You are more important than anything else in this world babe. And I meant it. "
Pierre smiled.
Athena smiled." Damn Montoya! You.. Are great! " pumalakpak niyang sambit na ikinatawa lang ng lalaki.
" I'm being serious here baby. Don't kill the sweetness " Pierre pouted.
Athena giggled and threw herself on Pierre's lap. Nagulat naman ang lalaki "Babe, be gentle on me please. I'm weak and easy to —"
"—to chock" pagtatapos ng babae.
Pierre snorted but it's true, ewan ba niya kung bakit pagdating sa asawa niua, nagiging parang maamong tupa siya samantalang sa iba naman, isa siyang gago na hinayupak pa.
He is not nice. He is straight to the point. If he doesn't like something, he will tell it straight to the face. No inhibitions, no matter who that person is.
"Sabi pa nga ni Jake, ang pangit daw ng ugali mo. Naninigaw ka daw e" anang Athena.
Napangiwi naman si Pierre pero hindi niya ipagkakaila 'yon sa asawa. "Yeah. That's true. I'm a monster in my own way baby. Kapag ayaw ko sa isang tao, sasabihin ko. Hindi ako gaya ng iba na may paikot ikot pang nalalaman"
Athena pinch Pierre's face "I understand. And o, bakit sa akin, you're nice and good to me. Is it because I am your wife now kaya ka mabait sa akin?"
Pierre smiled. "Don't know. Really I don't. Basta iba ka sa lahat. You maybe my angel babe." anito. It's because I'm in love with you..
But he couldn't tell her that for now. Hindi pa napapanahon para doon. He must learn to wait.
Alam naman niya kasi na may pinagdadaanan ang asawa sa ngayon. He maybe a stalker but he didn’t let his self interfere in her sensitive matter.
He knew some of it but not the main reason. At maghihintay na lang siya kung kailan ito mag sasabi sa kanya and he did at least what he knew is right and that is to protect her by the time being, since that moment 'till now and to the future..
Yeah.. That's the right thing to do. He nodded on his own thought like he did the best out of the best.
"Weh? 'di nga?" anang Athena na natatawa.
Pierre grin. "Oo nga. Ikaw pa ba? Malakas ka sa akin e"
It was a non busy morning and Pierre is just chilling on the island counter when his wife came in with a little smirk on her face. "Hey babe! Good morning!"
"hey!" she smiles sweetly, and that moment Pierre already knew she was something but couldn't pinpoint "Say 'crack my finger' Montoya"
Pierre oblige "Crack my finger"
Athena put an effort to just straighten her face. "Now, say it backwards"
Being unaware of what is happening, Pierre oblige for the second time "Finger my crack!"
It took him few seconds to understand the meaning of those backwords and Athena keep laughing on how fast the poor man said it!
The confidence in this man was burned! And well played! good on him tho. the confidence was on point no hesistation at all!
"You are baaaddd!" Pierre screaming when realization hit his head.
Athena laughed so hard. She even caress her stomach because she couldn't handle the laughter kept on coming out.
"Babe! I know you are naughty and all but this one is so bad! How can you finger my crack as if I have that one aside from my ass hole!" anito.
"I'm just kidding you know.. Anyway, good morning" Athena who was still laughing said and left him on the counter and went to the sink to wash her hands.
Nang makagawa ito ng sariling kape, nagsimula na itong mag sangag ng kanin.
They set —no, delete that— she set rules na dapat daw ito ang gumawa ng gawaing bahay.
Like preparing breakfast for him before he goes to work. Making her own coffee because according to her , it's not his obligation, set aside being sweet—her words not his— and let her do the things.
"Kidding aside babe, now I realized, I have a crack though it's tiny, you can use a tongue to —"
"—f**k you Montoya. I'm going somewhere today. Hindi ka pa naman tumitigil kapag nag umpisa ka. Saka ka lang titigil kapag nawalan na ako ng malay"
Pierre grin "Who told you I stopped?" anito saka lumayas sa kusina. Gantihan lang.. Ngingisi-ngisi niyang sambit sa sarili.
Naiwang naka nganga si Athena. what?!! "Montoyyyyaa!!" nang gagalaiti niyang sigaw.
At ang gago, itinaas lang nito ang kamay sa ere, giving her a peace sign then run away!
Don’t change who you are to impress someone because your road to success is personal. The success Athena is talking about in her mind was to tame this mother fucker!
But who the hell is she f*****g to? Hindi na magbabago pa ang lalaking ito. Isa itong dakilang.. Manyakis!
And she will not change too. Ang ugali niya ay ugali na niya. It is not written in her book to change herself just to impress this son of a b***h husband of hers!
The day went by and Athena came home earlier than Pierre. As usual, nanonood lang siya ng romantic comedy nang dumating ang lalaki.
"Hi babe! How was your day?" malambing na sabi nito.
Athena who was in the mood of pranking again her hubby smirked. While Pierre knew what is coming and muttered 'oh no'.
"I'm freaking worried because when I shut my eyes, I can't see. Maybe we should go to the doctor.. Ahm.. like when it's open, I can see the freaking light but when I shut it, It's all black" anang Athena na naka tunganga sa kisame.
Pierre trying to validate the situation with “when you look at the light...” anito saka tumingin sa ilaw, it was a big chandelier in the middle of the living room.
The look on his face when she said she's worried made Athena felt a little conscience but she love to watch him in daze.
In him, she can be her true her. It was true that she has a bunch of cousins but not like Pierre. Si Shaina, busy sa computer at may 3 minutes yatang pagitan ng sinasabi niya at sa reaksyon nito, in short, she's too slow and late.
The boys, they have their own worlds. Wala siyang maasahan sa mga iyon.
Sabina was sa quick, total opposite of Shaina. The moment she will open her mouth to prank, Sabina immediately cover her mouth by her hands.
Junea was another part of the story because she's crazy as f**k.
So only Pierre can fall to her naughtiness. At masayang masaya naman siya!
Pierre forgot how naughty his wife is and showed how he really cares about her. he tried to digest every single thing of her worries.
Then Pierre says "you can't expect me to be that gullible, right?" but his facial expression is saying, 'what if this is an actual problem that I can't fix?!'
Confusion, realization, happiness, realization again, then there it is...shock. "Ah f**k!.." — he blew a loud yet soft breath—"Babe, when you look on the light —itinuro nito ang ilaw—you can see. Then you shut your eyes off and it will all black, of course baby. You can't see! What the f**k?"
Athena burst out on laughter as she sit properly, properly means naka Indian sit ito sa mahabang sofa." You are learning really quick Montoya " aniya saka ngumisi.
Pierre sighed. Truly, he can't win with this woman! "Babe..stop making me worry. Or just stop this pranks of yours" anito saka pasalampak na umupo sa tabi ng babae.
Tumawa lang si Athena.
They continued sharing jokes, funny things and shared laughter. They are like this, sometimes sharing kisses na nagpapangisi lay Pierre.
It’s all fun and games until she gets hungry and Pierre scream 'Aww f*****g hell!' when Athena bite his earlobe but when she licked it, he... Moan.
"Continue that and the situation will be updated to something else.." Pierre breathing went rugged and now he is panting as Athena is blowing soft air on his ear. "f**k" he groan.
"I'm hungry" tila pasumbong na sambit ng babae. Pierre once again sighed.. I know right..
Nang tumayo si Pierre, mabilisang sumampa ang babae sa likuran nito.
Literally it was like he froze for 5 seconds. He can hear his self screaming in excitement on the inside. Damn!
Like if there's someone watching him right now, he can see how excited he is in his eyes and he’s trying to keep his cool.. f**k self! Try harder!
Pierre knows, he looks like he’s about to melt at this moment! He’s on manual breathing trying not to pass out of excitement because hell, this is exactly what he wanted—His wife, being clingy all the time..
"Carry me to the kitchen Mr. Montoya" malambing na sabi ni Athena.
Pierre sook his head, his wife can make his a jelly out of the blue without her knowing it. His Adorable wife is giving him the reason to be a good man, well sa harapan lang naman nito.
She’s his life now. And he is trying to not show his true him to her. He's not a good person. He has anger management issues.
And that was a year ago when he did the most unforgettable moments of his life. That's when he let the momster inside him.. Went out.
I will not loose you, no matter what..
