Contract And Marriage

Maximus

I felt like the happiest man in the world when I heard her call me her husband. It might seem shallow to others, but it means a lot to me. I want to make sure she has some feelings for me before I fully confess. I also don’t want to look like a fool in front of her while she laughs at me. I’ve noticed she didn’t like me before, but I can also feel that my kisses and the way I please her are starting to mean something to her. We can start from there; at least, there’s one thing we agree on. What happened in my office is one of the most cherished memories of my life.

I’m not like other men who bring their women to work. I’m not like that. If there’s one thing I can be proud of myself and boast to my wife, it’s that she’s the only woman I’ve had sex with in every corner of my office. Only our fluids are there, and no one else’s. It only means that those women who came before her were a fling and cannot be compared to her.

We were hungry afterward because I couldn’t get enough of her. This must be what it’s like when you’re in love. Aries delivered our lunch afterward, and I wondered why it was still hot when we took our time making love before I called him for our lunch. I’ll make sure he gets a big bonus later.

It was warm and cozy. We just ate and talked about little things, and not fighting with her was a big accomplishment for the day. After having lunch with Sarina, we went straight to a well-known dress shop. I wanted to bring at least one dress for her to Las Vegas just in case she needed it. If necessary, we’d just buy more there. My friends will surely invite me out, and I will bring her with me to introduce her to them.

I’m thankful she didn’t ask about Midori anymore. I didn’t think she’d be angry, but maybe I was inconsiderate about that. Now, I’ll make sure to tell her everything. I didn’t want any woman to cause us misunderstandings, and I wanted her to know that she was the only woman for me. If I wanted her to be honest with me, I should do it first and show her that she could trust me. By telling her everything that happens to me means that I also respect her as my wife. And many people say that it is necessary for every relationship.

The day of our departure arrived. Aries will stay behind because he will have to represent me in all the transactions that require my presence while I’m out of the country. But I brought my two secretaries to provide for my business needs. They will coordinate with Aries if needed.

“I told you, Maximus, I didn’t want to come,” my wife said as we sat side by side on the plane. We’d been in the air for an hour, but she still seemed uneasy. It was amusing because if she could hold onto me any tighter, she might as well sit on my lap out of fear.

I can’t say she fears flying; I think she’s just not used to it. Now that we’re married, I’ll often take her out of the country so she won’t just know either Manila or Catanduanes.

“It’s okay, my wife. I’m just here,” I said, kissing her forehead. “Why don’t you sleep?”

“Okay, just don’t let go of me, okay?” she said, making her look so adorable. I smiled and nodded before she leaned her head on me, wrapping her arms around me. I was happy with our situation because she didn’t usually do this to me at home. More often, I was the more affectionate one, and I didn’t know if she even noticed.

Sarina seemed weak when we got off the plane, so we went straight to the hotel. “I really don’t want to ride a plane anymore,” she said as soon as we entered our hotel room. She quickly walked to the living room and lay down on the couch.

“Thank you,” I said to the hotel staff member who accompanied us before giving him a tip. I then closed the door and approached Sarina, whose eyes were closed, and she seemed asleep. I carried her, making her slightly open her eyes.

“Where are you taking me? I want to rest,” she complained. I smiled, shook my head while walking to the bedroom, and laid her down there. “Ahh, it feels good…”

It sounded like a moan to me, but seeing the exhaustion on her face, I restrained myself from taking her. Her body was already lying comfortably, so she must have felt relief. “Just sleep, my wife,” I said before standing up to walk out, but she stopped me.

“Where are you going? Don’t tell me you’re leaving me here alone.” Her tone was so affectionate that I felt it deeply. My heart fluttered, and I imagined how sweet she would be if she only loved me the way that I loved her.

“I need to meet someone.” That was the truth. My friends already contacted me and were expecting to meet me as soon as we arrived. I would have brought her along, but seeing her condition, I was unlikely to pull her to go out.

“Fine,” she said lazily, but she seemed sulking. I wondered if I should go, but my being as a husband prevailed, so I decided.

“I’m sorry, I need to be with my wife now; she’s not feeling well,” I said when my friend Allan answered my call.

“Seriously, man?” he asked in disbelief. I had never refused their invitation even once. Even when I’m in the Philippines and want a reunion, they call and ask me to come here.

“Yes, man, we can meet tomorrow.” I heard my crazy friends laughing in the background, and I knew it was because of me.

“Okay, man. We’ll see you when you’re ready.” Then, our call ended.

I looked at my wife and decided to change clothes, and then I changed her clothes, too, to make her sleep more comfortably. I really held myself back while doing that because her body was my weakness. She snuggled into me when I lay beside her, so I hugged her tightly. She was so clingy.

I didn’t realize I’d fallen asleep so soundly, and it was already the next morning when I woke up. Sarina’s beautiful face greeted me, making my day brighter. How can she look this pretty even when she’s sleeping?

“Good morning, my wife,” I greeted her, kissing her before slowly getting up. I went straight to the living room to order breakfast and planned to wake Sarina when our food arrived. I took a shower and got dressed while waiting. I was just ready for the day when I heard the doorbell.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Uhm…” my wife moaned, making me look at her before stepping out of the room. “Have you been awake long?” she asked, still sleepy.

“Sort of, get up, and let’s have breakfast.” She nodded and got up, so I stepped out and left the door open so Sarina would follow. I went straight to the main door and opened it. But I didn’t expect the person I’d see.

“Darling! I knew you’d be here.” Then I felt her lips on mine while her arms wrapped around my neck. Damn it!
