13 - Filipina

Zyd leaned back in his chair as he stared into space. The private plane owned by the Pittsburgh Penguin Team had flown while his colleagues were noisy and joking. He was just quite next to them as he remembered the happy moments they had with the woman he had given so much time and love to. Maybe Kate was right, it was his fault why their relationship went crazy because of the lack of time.
But fuck! Twice as well. If he hadn't asked Hudson's help the other day, he wouldn't have known that the woman he wanted to present at the altar someday, was secretly cheating on him. Proof its social media messages and all kinds of messaging apps. Other than that, something happens to them according to the nude pictures. It's funny to think, his fiancée has been cheating on him for a long time.
He is not stupid to keep quiet aside. His heart and pride are what we are talking about here and he doesn't care if it will be crushed in the world, they both live in because she crushed him first. He will use Elhouette, marry her and make her look like a woman, he can change no matter how long they last. He'll teach her to taste her own medicine.
He slightly adjusted the cap he was wearing and closed his eyes, he would try to get some sleep. His whole back was still a bit sore because when he woke up, he just thought he had fallen asleep on the cold floor.
"Captain ..."
He looked at who had called him. His best friend Kodi now approached him.
"Yeah?" he closed his eyes again. They even rehearsed once before leaving.
"Kate asked me to meet her last night. Are you guys having a fight again?"
"Just let me sleep bro," he lazily replied to his question, "I'm fucking tired."
He was also unsure of the decision he would make. Zyd knows that not only his family will be shocked by the issue that he will marry another woman, but also the whole Pennsylvania who knows his name in the field of Hockey. On the other side of his mind, he could keep quiet aside and let Kate but he wasn't a McCluskey just to keep quiet.
He was not called Captain just for nothing. He is the youngest to earn such a title. He will admit that he did not go to college, he was only in middle school. He was too focused on playing but he didn't play with women's feelings.
He started as a young captain at the age of twelve and all, he earned the respect of every player but what he couldn't understand, in the duration of their relationship with the woman ... Why did she fool him? Kate was his high-school sweetheart and she just threw away all their happy days just because of the accusation that she lacks time.
15 years of relationship? He wanted to laugh, how long the two of them had reached but really did not base on how long or duration of the relationship so that someone would not go crazy. He can no longer save their relationship even if he wants to, he is very hurt and all his confidence is gone. All he wanted to do was figure out how to repent and taste his own coffee blend.
LIANNE stared at the small piece of paper with Henrik's number on it. What is her answer to this? The man was very kind to her and she did not intend to hurt him immediately but she also did not intend to expect the man in case he liked her.
He frowned and stared at the ceiling in her room. She had just called in the Philippines; their mother's situation was getting worse so she ordered his two siblings to take her to the Hospital immediately and she would take care of the expenses. Why did it all turn out like this when she was here in another country?
She glanced at the hanging calendar on the wall, quickly rolled over on the bed and ran towards it. Her eyes widened at the realization that the week was tomorrow! Why is it too fast? She just fell asleep and went to work but she woke up, Sunday right away? The days have been so fast.
It seems like she just recently dreamed of seeing Zyd in person and hugging him. Until her beauty was ghosted, then she cried pretentiously, her kind auntie took her to Pennsylvania, saw him at the bar, slapped and kissed him and then ... No more, everyone was confused. She could no longer bring back the reality that she had resented the virginity here because of the alcohol.
The next week, she decided to take a walk and go to the public library and borrow a book. She would just read a book that made her nose bleed. As what she does every day-off, she goes to her favorite place, the one with a swing and the big tree while bringing coffee.
She was already reading a book when she felt a foot stop on her front. She looked up and was surprised to see Henrik, wearing a jogging suit and bathing in sweat. The man's handsomeness is still dazzling?
"Min Dam!" he now wipes the sweat off his face and sits next to him on the other swing. "I didn't expect to see you here."
She smiled shyly. If it was just someone else, she would have abused it. "Same here," she said. "It's my favorite spot every day-off."
"Yeah. I've met you here before and from that look, I know you're a Filipina ... The most beautiful Filipina I ever met."
She suddenly blushed as Henrik stared at her. She quickly rolled her eyes at it and drank the coffee even though it was hot. Sh*t! Her tongue was scarred. The young man immediately approached her and attended to her.
"My tongue ..." She pulled out the tip of her tongue and fanned it. This is probably the cause of her too occupied mind so she scalds.
"Don't move, I'll blow it myself."
She gasped as Henrik bent down and blew her scorched tongue and their faces were so close. When she realized how awkward their situation was, she quickly moved away and scratched her neck.
"I n-need t-to go." he blushed and turned around immediately and ran away.
The word 'wait' was left in her throat as he quickly disappeared in front of her. She would have just said that she is not available today to meet and go out because she has her own walk today. She bit her lip so hard and blushed.
What was that?! She pinched herself. No, she was just too carried away by Henrik's kindness. She knew there was no other motive for every move of the man. With that in mind, she calmed down and resumed reading the book.
She got bored with the book she was reading and decided to just go for a walk. She also walked along the way and was very comforted by everything she saw. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a cellphone to use to take pictures.
"It's a grasshopper with a nipple!" she cried out in shock at the loud car horn behind her. Will people kill her here in Pennsylvania?! Animals.
She turned angrily and raised an eyebrow as she headed for the car. She nodded and knocked on its window. Pinays like her are very oppressed in these foreign places, eh, while in the Philippines they treat foreigners with too much tender loving care- Johnson Cologne!
"Are you trying to kill me? I'm way too beautiful to die here!" she was not yet too angry at the state of her voice. Just a few more.
The car door took a long time to open, maybe it took a few minutes before it opened if she hadn't already knocked on the door.
"Hop in." Zyd, who was even inside the car, was wearing a cap.
She was stunned when it hit her and looked at him seriously. Suddenly her blood rushed to her head as she remembered what he had done the last time they met. Paksh*t really.
"It's just you. Why do you have to blow the horn out loud? Are you mad at me? Ha, are you angry? You see that I'm walking- ayyy goat's hair!" she exclaimed as he pulled her hand inside the car and quickly closed the door.
Annoyed, she faced it and bumped again when she noticed that he was just staring straight ahead and clenching his fist. Aba! If he intends to fight with her beauty, she has no problem with that.
"Five hundred thousand dollars for this set-up, then another five hundred after one year."
Suddenly her head cooled at what he said and she was humbled. Big money! She reached for the tumbler water she saw and quickly swallowed the water. She secretly calculated the money in her mind and immediately converted it into pesos. It was as if he was going to faint at a huge cost. She can go home to the Philippines and live peacefully.
"I think the money you will pay is too big."
He looked at her and did not say a word. As if he was waiting for something else to say. She sneezed and adjusted herself, she needed money and if it wasn't for her desperate need, she wouldn't have clung to this situation.
"I'll take it," she replied quickly.
"Good. I'm taking you now to the nearest church and we will have our private wedding right away."
"What ?!"
She could no longer resist as he started the car's engine and sped off quickly. She would have wanted to shout kidnapping so she could release her and be able to think clearly. Get married fast? Can't she invite her two locksmith co-workers and her fan cousin to her loveless life?
Before she could do what her brain was telling her, they stopped at a church. The man came down first and opened it for her. Only then did she notice that he was wearing a white V-shirt and pants. She suddenly blushed at its beauty, especially when she remembered something had happened to them.
Immediately the stupidity she did was dismissed in her mind, here in Pennsylvania that is normal so she should not act. She was just thankful that she wasn't gang-banged in the corner. Wait, thank you? And why would she be thankful that he took her V-pass? She was about to fight with herself when Zyd knocked on the window to wake her up.
"Move your ass out, Elhouette."
Her eyes widened at the name he mentioned and then stared. Without saying a word, she went down and they entered the small church together. She noticed a Priest standing in front of a handsome Canadian beside him, carrying a briefcase and bouquet of carnation flowers. Other than these, there are no other people there but them.
She stared at the flower he was carrying and she couldn't help but raise her hair all over her body. The creepy feeling! She glanced at the man; he was just walking seriously while mumbling. She looked at her dress, why was her dress so awkward? She was wearing a red dress and white sneakers.
"Zyd Caiden McCluskey," he whispered, calling the young man's full name.
It turned to him. "You acquiesced on my offer," he said, "There's no backing out, Lianne Elhouette Vergara." Suddenly he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the altar.
