Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen

"What? Why should I live in your house?!" Annoyed to ask Justin.
"Wifely duties, told you." And then he shrugged his shoulders. If before I just thought bad of him, now it's bad-bad!
"I don't want to! Why should I stay there?" Piss off if you ask him. It's a good thing that I'm not the one who gave him grapes because he may have already vomited.
"Because that's our house." He gave me a simple answer as if he was simply saying that my questions are pointless and that I would have just used my commonsense.
"Urgghh! It's not my house, it's your house!" I got away from where I was sitting next to his bed and then I sat down on the sofa far away from his bed and I might not be able to hold back and I would be able to twist him. It's obvious that he's teasing me! And this man is really annoying.
"We're husband and wife remember? So, what's mine is also yours." I crossed my arms and my chest and then I tortured him.
"Why don't you just call Lenita?! She will take care of you." I said rudely to him. I didn't get an answer from him so I turned my attention to him. He looked at me very seriously which caused me to be affected again and to swallow one after another. I was about to avoid he thought to speak.
"She's in Paris, attending some fashion show." He answered me without emotion. I frowned.
"Oh, don't send him home! He loves you so much..." that he even managed to trade our friendship just to get you. "...for sure it will go home right away because what happened to you was not good."
"We both know it's one of her biggest dreams to make it to Paris to be a fashion designer."
"And you know what? It's also one of my biggest dreams to be away from you forever!" I answered him. I didn't wait for his answer, I quickly left his room.
Lenita is even better! He knows the biggest dream! Better than Lenita, she cares! Lenita is good, she knows the whereabouts of that jerk, but me? Nothing! He know's nothing! He didn't even know that I was hurt by what he was saying, he wasn't satisfied yet, and he was still making me hope my heart!
"Hey! Why are you running away?!" Katastrophe asked me. He just arrived and it looks like nothing bad happened to him. Okay, he's okay and not drunk anymore.
"Where did you come from?!" I was annoyed to ask him. I also stopped packing my clothes. Suddenly he looked like a meek sheep when I was in front of him and then he sighed.
"I'll explain about friendship." He answered me.
"Come on and explain before I shave your eyebrows!"
"You're a great friendship! Don't do it! You know eyebrows are life is my motto." He answered me. I glared at him so he raised his two hands in the air. "I said so, I'll explain."
"Uhmm... what... uhhmm, because... uhhh..."
"Catastrophe!"
"Terrence was listening to me last night! Then we kissed! I'm sorry if I forgot you, I didn't mean to!" He quickly told me that it was the last part what I understood.
"Katastrophe one! I'm really going to find my shaver here! Get ready!" He avoided looking at me and then explained what he said neatly.
"Because Terrence came last night. Then we kissed." He said with his head down. "Then we got out of Spade and went to his car and then we did –" I immediately blocked his face with my hands so he stopped talking. I nodded my head.
"I get it! I get it! So, what are you guys okay?" He nodded at me and smiled a little. I also smiled and then hugged him tightly.
"I'm happy for you, friendship."
"Thanks Joanna, but where are you going? Are you leaving?" This time I was the one who held my breath and then slowly sat next to him.
"To cut the story short, when Justin's left hand was injured last night because of me and what he wanted to happen was for him to keep me until his hand was fine and that included me living in his house." I gave him a lifeless answer. He raised his eyebrows and sang –
"Bring love back again." He was already teasing her while reciting the lyrics of the song over and over again as if that was all she knew. I just made him suffer.
"Doesn't he have maids? Why doesn't he just hire a private nurse? Or... why doesn't... Lenita take care of him?" Katastrophe asked me one question after another while helping me pack my clothes.
"Lenita is said to be in Paris doing her biggest dream." I didn't want to answer him. "Lenita is still good, she knows your whereabouts and then I –" I couldn't continue what I was saying because my tears were already on the sidelines and they also broke.
my voice Katastrophe approached me and then gave his words of wisdom.
"Maybe this is the second chance for you two." That's what kept repeating in my mind while looking at the gate of our house, it was Justin's. It took a while for this gate to open, so I talked to Justin here on the small screen at my gate.
Urghh! If it was my choice, I really don't want to go back to this house, what I remember! I just looked at the mansion house, I immediately remembered the first night with Justin as husband and wife and then the second day when he suddenly disappeared. But I'm just a blinackmail of that earth louse!
"Okay, if you really can't take being with me..." And then he grinned at me. "...then I guess I have no choice but to announce it to the whole Philippines that I am married. Married to you Joanna."
"W-what?! Are you losing your mind?" I couldn't believe my answer to him. Just grin him to me and then he focused his full attention on the TV again.
"It's not possible! Do you want to scandalize me?! That I always follow me and have a lot of haters! Or worst to come, what if I'm like Lenita when suddenly my girl is crazy, crazy about you again and then she rushes me and tweak until bald?!"
That happened to Lenita just last year, she was at the mall and then my girl approached her, she thought she was going to take a picture since it's also popular He was because of the beautiful designs he made, but it wasn't because the woman suddenly attacked him and then spanked him and slapped him, he even got a long scratch.
That's almost what I watched in the video on YouTube, even the guards can't let go of that woman. Of course, Lenita sued that woman and it became really big news in showbiz. Shame!
Since Lenita is famous in the fashion industry, of course my paparazzi stalk her often, knowing her whereabouts and many times they have taken pictures of Justin and Lenita together. And because Justin is also famous not only in the business world but also in showbiz, because he is said to be a 'bachelor' and he is among the top 5 richest people here in the Philippines. Well, many people bashed Lenita, saying that Justin, money and popularity are not their thing
He said they were just chasing him and what other insults they said to him.
Then I thought, what if they find out that I'm Justin's wife? Maybe the insults I will get from them are even worse. Of course, if Lenita, who is rich, told her that Justin is only after money, I'm just a simple person, maybe it's worse than a gold digger if she insults them. Sigh.
So it's not possible. No one can know that I'm married to this guy! Then I thought that this is really the chance that Katastrophe is talking about. Chance so I can talk to him properly and ask him for an annulment so that it's all over. It's obvious that I no longer have a place in Justin's life, because he already has Lenita. And here is my heart again aching with pain.
"Joanna are you coming or what?!" I looked at Justin. I didn't even notice that he was right in front of me and that the gate was already open.
"Uh... o-yes coming in."
