My Puppy Love (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 14: My cold husband

The romantic music, loud and happy noises from our families, they're all gone now. We're now left alone in this huge and cold room, all that was left is silence and sadness. Of course, we have to stay in our honeymoon suite together, I wanted to get away from him but I wanted to stay close to him at the same time. I smiled bitterly, how pathetic could I get. 

I sat on the king-size bed. I'm still wearing my wedding gown while Alex is talking to someone on the terrace of our room. As soon as our room's door shut closed, he never gave me even a glance. The warm smile and sweet gesture turned cold as ice. I let my hand feel the softness of our bed. This could've been the happiest night of my life, but I guess it won't happen. I lifted my hand where my wedding ring is. I'm his wife now, but I don't feel like it at all. 

Noise coming from the terrace halted my flow of thoughts. I saw Alex going in. He's done with the phone call I guess. 

"I'll sleep on the couch. You sleep here. Tomorrow we'll go back to the city."

He grabbed one pillow on the bed then he left me. I silently watched him lied on the couch. Without even changing first. Sadness crawled into my heart again. I lied on the bed without removing my dress first. I don't have the energy to do so. I cover myself with the comforter, then I silently cried my heart out, if this is my punishment, then I'll accept it. I don't know hong long I cried that night until I fell asleep.

The next morning, I'm still sleepy when I heard small noises around. I slowly opened my eyes still disoriented. I saw Alex tidying up his things on his bag, I got up from the bed. Alex threw me a glance maybe he heard the creaking coming from the bed. 

"Fix your things, we'll go home now."He then continued his packing.

"O-okay. Maybe I have to call dad and mom to prepare something for us."

I reached for my phone to dial our house's number but a hand grabbed it from my hand turning it off before throwing it on the bed.

"You're my wife now, so you'll stay with me, on our farm. Yes honey, on our farm, away from your beloved city nor Mansion. Sorry to tell you!" he said sarcastically. I was stunned.

"At least let me get my stuff there." I said in a very soft voice.

"Our driver is on his way to pick it up. By the time we arrived on the farm, everything will be there."

I decided not to argue with him anymore. I got up to change my clothes to prepare.

The whole travel is silent. We were sitting next to each other, I can feel the heat coming from his body, but whenever I'll look at him, only coldness is present in his eyes. My body wanted to savor this feeling but his coldness makes it so awkward for both of us. I tried to distance myself from him but he held my arm to move closer to him giving me a warning look. I decided to just stay put. He's busy working on his laptop so I didn't dare to disturb him. I felt as if a load of heavy stuff was removed from my chest when I finally the farm's gate. The drive drove towards the house. I instantly reached for the car's door but Alex's hand is much quicker, he grabbed my arm preventing me from opening the door.

"Mang Estor, please help us unload our bags."

"Yes sir."

The driver obeyed his order so we're left alone inside again. I can't help but feel intimidated.

"You listen carefully, you cannot let our family know about all this, do you understand? You have to act normal. Or else you won't like what I'll do to you." he said warningly before leaving me alone inside the car.  Gone was the gentle guy I knew all my life. I've never thought that he could be this cold and ruthless. I thought he left already but I was startled when the car's door opened on my side. There is Alex with a bright smile offering his hand. I'm confused all of the sudden, all that I only looked at him.

"C'mon love, dad and mom are waiting."

Indeed, his parents are waiting in the verandah smiling from ear to ear. I hesitantly accepted his hand. As soon as I felt his hand on my hand, I felt a tingling sensation all over my body. I almost pulled my hand but his hand is holding it so tightly. We walked towards his parents.

"Leila!" Aunt Melisse came almost running towards us as if she cannot wait for us any longer. She gave me a welcome hug.

"Why so soon? You should've stayed longer to ensure that our grandchildren will be coming soon." I blushed not only because of her teasing but also because I felt Alex squeezed my hand which is still holding my hand.

"Tita, you and dad are still young, you can still play with your grandchildren, for the meantime let me enjoy my wife first."

He then slowly wrapped me into a tight hug from the back while putting his head on my shoulder. I shiver inside his arms. His parents watched us lovingly, totally buying Alex's acts. We'll he's actually a good actor I guess, he is far from the man I am with just minutes ago.

"Well, Alex is right, they have to enjoy their moment together honey." Uncle Theodore agreed.

"Okay but don't make us wait for too long okay? Let's get inside and eat first. I know you haven't eaten well since last night."

Aunt Melisse said maliciously.

"You bet Tita." Alex said jokingly that made everyone laugh. I can feel my cheeks heat up again.

"It's okay Leila, you'll get used to it. But I'll be glad if you'll do it more often, more chances of winning." she winked at me.

"You heard her love, let's do it more often." Alex sexily whispered on my ears, but loud enough to let everyone hear it. It sends a tingling sensation through my spine that I wanted to close my eyes.

Everyone seems to enjoy Alex's little show. Totally clueless about what's happening inside my heart and head. And there I am, still don't know how to react.

"Hey stop it you two. You're embarrassing Leila. The food is getting colder, c'mon let's eat." Thank God, Uncle Theodore interrupted them.

We ate happily, for the first time since yesterday, I felt happy. I just wished that all of these are real. Alex is back to the Alex I knew, very attentive and sweet. He sometimes feeds me, wipes my mouth from time to time, gives me kisses on my temple, if only I could stop time. But as they all say, nothing is permanent, as soon as we entered his room, he is back to the cold Alex. My cold husband.
