Marry me

C1

Nice to meet you.

Everything happened so fast. Before I even knew it, I was already in his car! He was driving while holding both of my hands preventing me from jumping out of the car.

"Can you let go already? Naka-lock naman car mo. And hindi ako tatalon 'no! I'm not crazy enough to do that." I said while trying to pull my hand from his grip.

"I just want to hold your hand. Is it bad?" he glanced at me.

"Hindi, pero kapag nabangga tayo ibababad ko 'yang kamay mo sa muriatic acid."

"Looking forward to it, baby." he chuckled.

The fudge is wrong with this guy? Hindi niya man lang naisip na makukuha na sa kaniya 'yong freedom niya?!

Not na piigilan ko siyang mag party or what-so-ever kapag naging kasal talaga kami. Pero hindi na siya makakahanap ng ka-fling! That would be too hard for a rich boy like him. Why am I even thinking about considering to marry him? Para siyang half kidnapper half stalker!

I suddenly remembered what happened earlier...

"I, Ayden Spencer Gomez, am asking for your hand in marriage. Calliope Quin Diaz, Marry me."

I blinked a ton of times before laughing my heart out. "Nice joke, lods. Sige na. Una na ako. Wag ka mag alala sa taxi. Libre na 'yon" Aalis na sana ako kaso nagsalita pa siya ulit.

"I'm not joking Calliope. I'm dead serious." I didn't bother looking at him. I knew he was serious. But I was kinda hoping that he would change his mind.

I sighed and faced him.

"Look, I don't know why you want to marry me. Surely it's not because of our money. You have way more of those. If its for business, then you picked the wrong bride. I'm not into stuff like that. Do you not want to marry for love?-" he cut of my speech before I could even finish.

"But, I am marrying for love." I was about to ask him what he meant by that when he mumbled something incoherent.

I was about to ask him to speak clearly when we heard a lady's voice from a far.

"Hey, Mom!" the all black clothed will you marry me guy infront of me shouted.

Mom? what the actual fudge? Mrs. Gomez is here?

I looked over to their direction and I saw mama with them. I am so dead.

"What are you two doing here?" his mom asked.

"Nothing mom, just talking and getting to know each other." Boy all black said calmly.

"Talk about what?" his mom asked curiously.

"Nothing, just about our coming marriage. She already agreed." He smiled. Lah? Desisyon ka?

"Oh, is that so?" his mom looked at me and smiled. "Welcome to the family dear." Niyakap ako ng mom n'ya saglit at humarap kila mama. "This calls for a celebration!

Inakbayan naman ako ni kuya will you marry me.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Foot juice mother na 'yan.

We're on our way to their house. I'm about to live at the Gomez household for 3 months. I actually have no idea why my mom agreed to this. Ayaw mo na ba ka cute kong face mama? If you ask me, this is kinda suspicious. Especially this guy who's sitting beside me.

He acts as if he's known me for a very long time. Earlier at our house, we were having lunch after the scene at the park. He was beside me all the time. His mom brought food for us. The shocking part was when he told his mom that I do not eat cheese! Like, how did he even know that? The only ones who knew that I do not eat cheese is my parents.

"What's on your mind baby?" he asked softly. I noticed we stopped already. We were beside a very huge house. Wait, I think this is a mansion. Or maybe even a palace. This is way more bigger than our house.

I looked at him. He's actually very handsome. He looks like a rich guy who never even tripped for once in his life. He's green eyes seems like a very deep forest calling you. Peaceful, dangerous and mysterious at the same time.

I don't know why a guy like him agreed to this. I thought guys like him don't like being tied up. Personally, I don't like the idea of us getting married for this reason. I know he's gwapo, and based from the short time we spent together, I can say that he's malambing.

But things like this is only great at the start. Once we live in the same house, he'll get to see my face over and over every minute. He'll get to know my personality more, and the more things like that happen, the more he'll get tired of me. I won't be surprised if one day, I wake up and he just ignores me.

Isn't it always like this? Once you have something new you always feel excited when you use it. But once you use it over and over again, you'll start to feel tired.

I felt a hand caress my face. "Hey... baby, what's on your mind?" suddenly, his face is very close to mine. I feel like our face is only an inch apart. I pushed him lightly.

"What's on your mind..." I repeated. "f*******: ka ghorl?" I laughed at him.

He just stared at me before answering. "We're here at my house."

House nga, kala ko sasabihin niya palasyo. Hehe.

He guided me towards their huge mansion. Everything looks so beautiful. Once you come in from the gate, you will see a very huge fountain.

Everything looks so majestic. I was in the middle of appreciating everything when I heard someone talk in front of us.

"Welcome back, Young Sir..." A lady in her early twenties talk. Wow, young sir. Sana all, hehe. The lady in front of us bowed for a bit. And when she raised her head, she suddenly glared at me.

Loh? Ayos ka lang 'te? Di naman kita inaaway. Hmp, bahala ka.

"Mmm." Tumango lang si Ayden. Suplado naman nito. I laughed at the thought. They both looked at me. I bit my lip to stifle my laugh. Ayden smiled at me and immediately went back to having a serious face when he faced back to the lady. "Is the room ready?"

"Yes sir..." sagot ng iba sa likod no'ng babae.

He pulled me inside. "Hoy, lods... Hindi ako nakabati sa mga tao." reklamo ko sa kaniya.

"No need."

He led me to where my supposed room was, I asked them earlier at our house if I could have my own room and they all answered yes.

When we reached our destination, he showed me the insides. He told me that if I want to redecorate my room, he can help me.

"Ayden... can we talk?" I asked him after he toured me to my room.

"About what baby?" He sat on the other chair infront of me. The way he stares at me is like I'm the most beautiful girl in the whole world.

"About this whole marriage thing." I looked at my nails cause I'm starting to feel a bit uneasy. "I mean, we barely even know each other... And what if you suddenly don't want marry?"

He looked at me as if I was some piece of puzzle that was hard to fix.

He sighed and leaned back. It seems like he's thinking. After a few minutes, he suddenly started talking none stop.

"I like barbeque flavored food. My birthday is on September 1. I like sports but I rarely play them. My favorite comfort food is barbeque and pizza-"

I stopped him before he even finished.

"Stop it. What are you saying?" I laughed but by laugh suddenly stopped when I noticed how serious he looks like. Well, this is actually scary. I was about to continue when he suddenly said something which made me confused.

"I am Ayden Spencer Gomez and I've been in love with you for 7 years now." wait, what? my brain suddenly stopped working. "Nice to meet you, baby."
