"You came" those were the words came out numerous times from Pierre's mouth. And Athena just smiled, nodded and giggled at those times.
They're now walking at the park but Pierre is like floating still.
"What's running into your mind?" nagtatakang sabi ni Athena sa asawa.
"I'm thinking if you can come every day" anang Pierre.
Athena stopped and about to say something nang may makitang nagbebenta ng cotton candy sa tabi.
"Give me your wallet Montoya.. Dali na!" aniya.
Pierre is frowning but he still give his wallet to his adorable wife. Nangingiti siyang naka tingin lang sa asawa habang masaya itong nakipag kulitan sa tindero.
Now, Pierre witnessed one of his wife’s characters. She was naughty, alam na niya iyon. Hindi iyon bago sa kanya.
Pierre grin.
And now, watching her having a wide smile on her face while waiting for her candy made him smile, an amused one.
Athena and Pierre continued walking as the wife eating candy and the husband just walking beside her, holding her waist because Athena is happily holding the cotton candy by her two hands.
Nang magsawa na sila sa kaiikot sa park, nagyaya si Athena sa mall. May bibilhin daw ito na kailangan niya dahil nga hindi naman natuloy ito noong nakaraang araw.
"Ay teka nga, hindi mo sinabi sa akin na sa'yo 'yong building na' yon ah. Kung hindi pa ako nagpunta doon, hindi ko pa malalaman" bale walang sabi ni Athena sa asawa habang pinapaliit ang huling candy saka tumingala at ipinasok lahat sa bunganga.
She can put the big and thick sword of this man beside her, cotton candy pa kaya?
Sisiw besh.. She smirk on that thought.
Athena just asked about the building, not that main reason as him having that big building. she doesn't care about his wealth. She have that too. And as she said, she's not into money.
Pierre grin, shrugging his shoulder.
"My house is a shopping mall.. The clothes, I mean.. Your clothes are 100 percent off.. Stay shopping in there"
Athena literally stop walking.
"What?.. Wait.. How" — Athena frown, trying to realize what was he's saying. And when she got the joke—" Ang halay mo talaga Montoya!!! " she scream out of embarrassment.
She became red all of a sudden, Pierre is chuckling as he wrapped his hand around her waist and bow to look at her face.
"I wish" anito.
"heh! Tumigil ka nga, alangan namang maglakwatsa ako sa loob ng bahay mo na nakahubad?" she pouted.
Pierre laughed, walang pakialam sa paligid. "Natin baby.. Bahay natin. E, ano lang naman, that will be the most precious thing I can see every time tho" anito.
First lesson, never ever should ask . Never try to change anyone . No one will ever change . You either accept all the good and bad what comes with all the way.
Nothing can be change, there's no way you can. If a person has dark side, you should—no, delete that — must accept it all.
If that's one of the recipe of marriage, then Athena is willing to take the risk.
This man, pilosopo na, manyakis pa. Ang pinagkaiba lang, gustong gusto naman niya.
Athena sighed. "You are corrupting my soul and mind. Do you even know that?" aniya sa asawa saka iniyakap ang dalawang kamay sa baywang nito.
Pierre groan"Nah. I'm just kidding.. But of course, that's my wish tho.. Seeing you someday coming to me.. Naked" aniya.
Can I??
They went to the mall, then after Athena bought what she wanted and needs, they went home. Pero bago sila makarating sa KMNV, dumaan mula sila sa isang convenience store malapit sa village.
They bought some kitchen supplies, foods and some fruits. And as Athena looking for meats and chickens, she saw someone familiar.
God. Not now please..
Her heart skipped a beat saka pasimple siya tumagilid at lumapit sa asawa. Her husband is a good person, she knew that now at ayaw niyang pati ito ay mawala sa kanya.
Sapat na na nawala sa kanya ang kompanya niyang mahal na mahal niya. Her company was her baby for how many years already, but because of what happened, she lost it.
Though her father was the one who is building it again, nawala pa din iyon sa kamay at pangangalaga niya.
Pierre is unaware of what Athena is doing so he just hold her hand as they walk through the counter, mabuti na lang at kumalma din ang babae. In her mind, Pierre is giving her calmness.
Athena and Pierre went home after that and they prepared their food together, fix the kitchen together, Athena forgot what happened and slept with peace beside Pierre.
Morning came and Athena woke up without Pierre. Perhaps in the office now. With that thought, she get up at pinilit ang katawan na pumunta nang banyo.
Naghilamos at nag toothbrush lang siya, hindi na siya nagsuklay pa, basta na lang niya itinali pataas ang buhok niya, it was so messy-bun but she doesn't care at all.
Pierre still like her tho.
Nang masigurong wala nga sa bahay ang asawa, lumabas siya ng bahay nito saka umuwi sa bahay niya. Pero hindi para pumasok doon kundi kunin ang isa sa mga sasakyan niya.
She drove with a heavy heart.
Nang dahil sa kawalan ng alam na destinasyon, humantong siya sa isang lugar.
Nakatunganga lang siya sa kawalan. She's here, somewhere in the middle of the private land.
Isa iyong parang burol at sa ibaba ay napaka lawak na lambak. Isa iyon sa pag aari ni Pierre.
Nalaman niya iyon ng humiling siya ng tulong sa pinsan, and Shaina did her best to know about Pierre.
It was paid, as expected.
"I'm an idiot" murmuring those words, napabuntung hininga siya.
Mayaman siya oo, pero ang lalaking sinabihan niya noon na magsikap para maging isa sa mga mayayaman sa balat ng lupa—though she doesn't really care about being poor, average or rich— ay galing pala sa angkan na ubod ng yaman!
Imagine her horror when she found out that her husband is something like.. "My God" usal niya saka tumingala.
Pierre isn't an ordinary man. It's maybe her bad because she dig about her husband’s life but she wanted to know something about him.
And the rest made her blood boil when she learned that Montoya had a lot of girls who linked into him.
Maybe because he's my husband now? The most frustrating part was, she could not do anything about the feelings she's into it right now.
Pierre Caleb Montoya is now driving her crazy to the core!
Meanwhile in the middle of meeting, Pierre is just staring to his cell phone in spite of the fact that he must be giving his full attention to this meeting.
Nasaan kaya 'yon? Frowning as he is thinking about his wife.
Nakailang text na kasi siya at hindi pa rin ito nagre-reply. She didn't even see his messages. And that's worrying him due to the fact that he knew she's not home right at this moment.
"Ahmm.. Master.."
Napaangat ng ulo si Pierre nang may bumulong sa kanya, Connor his right man s***h bodyguard is beside him. "What?" he asked flatly to him with frowning and everything.
Connor motioned his hand to the people around the big table.
Napakamot ng ulo si Pierre habang nag iisip pero wala talaga sa meeting ang utak niya kundi nasa asawa. "Meeting adjourned" that was.. Simple as f**k!
Pierre stood up. Not caring how the people on the meeting gaped and thinking how crazy the moment is, because he's the kind of person—no,delete that— he ruled his empire with his 'Time is gold' rule!
And now, just for him thinking and worrying about his wife, that number one rule of him was—killed.
Well, there's always an exemption to rule.
Wala siyang paki alam sa mga tao niya, his mind is now spinning at the moment because of his wife.
He dialed her number, frowning as he see the screen.. unattended. f**k it! He muttered.
"Connor"
"Yes master?"
"Could you please tell me how will you tame a tigress?" aniya saka pabagsak na umupo sa couch sa loob ng opisina niya.
Connor seemed to be innocent and dumbfounded by what Pierre asked. "Huh?"
Pierre look at Connor, amusement dancing from his eyes as he watching Connor's face, switching from innocence to confusions. "Do you have a girlfriend Connor?" aniya.
"Ahm. No?" tila nalilito nitong sabi.
Pierre shook his head.
Connor is as tall as him, well built with a poker face. Expression less, not even smiling. He's like a walking robot, no feelings. He even wonder if he feel horny or not.
Yeah. Man issues.
Nang hindi niya matawagan ang asawa, pinili niyang umuwi kaysa magbabad sa harapan ng computer niya pero nawawala naman ang utak niya.
Pierre drove home but when he pass by from the ice-cream shop, naisipan niyang bumili para sa asawa.
Mabilisan siyang umuwi, he let his car fly. Katwiran niya, baka matunaw ang ice-cream. But the truth was— he is driving like he's racing, out of frustrations.
He can fly. No, the var can fly..
Only one man can beat him on that sports, and that is the fucker Jake.
Mabilisang pumasok si Pierre sa bahay at nang masilayan ang asawa na naka squat sa ibaba ng mahabang sofa na nakatutok ang paningin sa malaking television.
She’s watching cartoons again, as usual.
Pierre sighed in relief and walk through Athena. "Hi babe" aniya.
Athena just said "Hmm" to him, no looking, not even a perk. She's too engrossed for the what is watching.
Hinayaan na lang niya ang asawa saka yumukod upang hagkan ang tuktok ng ulo nito saka umupo sa may bandang likuran ng babae at ipinatong ang baba sa ulo nito.
Pierre watched with his wife. Athena just let her husband’s clingy gesture. In her mind, she must adopt his 'childhood'.
Ewan ba niya kung bakit sa harapan niya, para itong bata. Isip bata pa nga, tapos siya naman itong parang nanay kung makaasta sa asawa.
Pierre and Athena watched with little more time then when the film finished, they decided to cook together.
After that, they went up..Athena planning to take a shower and the husband is planning another one.
Pagdating sa kwarto, kinuha agad ni Athena ang robe at towel saka tumayo sa harapan ng banyo dahil kanina pa siya naiinitan, kung dahil sa panahon o dahil sa init ng katawan ng asawa niyang ramdam na ramdam niya ay hindi niya alam.
Basta mainit.
"Babe, where you going?" Pierre asked her like he doesn't see any of the two things she's holding
"Shower" aniya.
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
Confused on what this creature is saying, she frown "What.. The rice? Don't worry rice cooker got my back"
Pierre frown. She didn't get it? I'm flirting tho. He tssk.
"What? No babe.. Something else"
Still unaware and confused, "The meat? But it's your job"
Pierre chuckled, he doesn't know that this naughty and sassy queen wife he have has an innocent side.
He shook his head, "No not that one!"
Athena pouted while holding the towel and opened the bathroom door.
"Don't know what you're talking about Montoya"
Nang nasa loob na ng banyo si Athena, napa paypay siya sa mukha dahil kanina pa siya nag iinit. Pottahh!
Alam na alam niya kung ano ang gustong sabihin ng asawa niya but hell, she's not ready to that.
Not now. She's been acting this past days. At hindi iyon nakatutulong sa kanya. Kailangan na niyang masanay sa kamanyakan ng asawa niya.
A philosopher once said: "Ang pag aasawa ay hindi masaya kapag walang 'manyakang' nangyayari. Matuto kang maging marupok minsan, kapag hinawakan ang sa'yo, dakmain mo ang sa kanya. At kapag pumailalim na ang isang daliri, hawakan ng mbuti ang nakatayo at ipikit ang mata saka mo isipin ang langit at doon ka liligaya"
And that was her husband told her!
How will she live without acting dumb as f**k in this house yeah?
Napaupo si Athena sa bowl at huminga ng malalim. Tang'na ka self. Huwag kang maging marupok.
Pierre became so vulgar. Sometimes she couldn't take it any more and just cover her ears but her husband being a naughty king always remove her palm to her ears and whispered "Ahhh" to her!
Moaning everytime he pass by to her. Iyon ang hindi niya kinakaya minsan. Syempre, may kalandian talaga siyang taglay sa katawan lalo ma sa lalaking kasama niya.
Pierre was just standing in front of the bathroom, and the moment the door opened, he grab his wife by her waist and Athena managed to wrapped her thighs to his waist while screaming.
Mahirap nang bumagsak!
"Ang gago mo, literal!" nakairap na sabi ni Athena sa asawa na naka ngisi.
Pierre groan and grin "Ang sarap mo, literal" anito saka hinalikan —no, delete that— dinilaan ang pisngi ng babae.
"Pieeerrrre!" tili ni Athena saka kinagat ang leeg ng lalaki.
Pierre just laughed and put his wife on the bed "Bihis ka na, mauna na ako sa baba para ihanda ang pagkain natin" masuyo nitong sabi habang naka tukod ang dalawang kamay sa kama while his upper body was bent to lean his face on hers.
Athena swallowed hard as she is now having butterflies, fluttering inside jer stomach as his breathing is blowing to her face.
It's warm and she sniffed it secretly. Hmmn..
"Want to make love to you.. Right now.."
One last sniffed, one last sucking of breath in, one first moan and Athena spread her legs as Pierre is now kneeling, eating all the hell out of her..
