CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
I feel bad when I woke up. Last night after I saw them kissing, I never left the room. I went to sleep and even though I was hungry, I just get back to sleep.
I heard three knocks so I stood up and opened the door. I saw Hailey standing while frowning at me. What is she frowning at? I should be the one frowning because he kissed Enrique last night.
“Why didn’t you eat last night? And you don’t go out today? Are you sick?” she asked. Yes, there is, my heart hurts because you kissed someone else. “Hey, answer me?” why her voice was soft? Is she attracting me? Because, if yes, my baby junior starting to get hard.
“Nothing. Why don’t you ask Enrique instead?” I said sulking.
“Enrique? How did Enrique get involved in our conversation?”
“Tss, what do you need?”
“You.” My annoyance became The Flash because of the speed it disappear from what she said.
“Me?”
“Yes, that’s why I’m here?”
“What do you need from me?”
“We have something important to talk about.”
“Tss, what is it?”
“Oh, take it and sign it.” She handed me the annulment paper.
“What’s this again?” I frowned at the question.
“Annulment, is it obvious? Don’t throw it away; just keep it so that when you made your decision, you just sign it.” But instead of hiding it I crumpled the paper and throw it in the garbage. “Phoenix.”
“You can’t go to someone else, even to Enrique.” Then I pulled her inside and closed the door. “No annulment, no separation. You’re mine, I’m yours,” I pressed her against the wall.
“Phoenix, what are you doing?” she push me softly but I put more pressure on her.
“See, I wore my ring and you’re still wearing yours, so we’re married.”
“Where did you get that?”
“Secret, you’re mine, remember that.” I kissed her. At first she refused but later on, she kissed me back. I grabbed her shoulder to take off the dress but she grabbed my hand.
“Wait,”
“Why?”
“Your lips taste blood.”
He touched my lip that exploded because of that idiot’s and then looked at me. The fucker kicked me and he even kiss my wife.
“What happened to your lips? Have you treated that?” she asked. Our kiss was mouth-watering and she pressed it hard so it bled.
“No, just kiss me again and the pain will go away.” I pout but she just avoided me.
“Phoenix, I’m not kidding. Isn’t this what you want? To break up with me?”
“That was before, but I don’t want it now.” And I kiss her neck.
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to lose you.” Then I kissed her cheek.
“Are you playing with me?” she asked annoyed but warm.
“No, you’ll going to get tired of giving me an annulment paper, but you won’t get anything. That it will go to waste.” Every time I answer I kissed her everywhere.
How she managed to do like this. Angry but tender. Angry but at the same time, she looks innocent.
“Phoenix, don’t torture us anymore.”
“I’m the only one who’s having a hard time, because when we split up, you had Enrique.”
“You have Jessa too.”
“Jessa and I are done, and I won’t come back to her even if you break up with me. Then who said we’re going to break up? That’s because you have Enrique now, that, it’s ok for me to break up with you. Nah, the sucker goes to hell, but he’s nothing to wait for.”
“We don’t have a relationship.”
“I believe you, I’m the one you love.”
“You weren’t like that before.”
“I changed for you.”
“Phoenix, stop this game, please.”
“I’m not playing. Enrique talked to me yesterday, but he beat me first, and then you kissed him and he said you love me ever since we’re a kid.”
“He beat you?” Her forehead frowned at the question and annoyed, so I smiled. She’s so damn cute.
“Yes, this is the result.” I pointed to my lips to complain.
“Good for you.”
“Hailey,”
“Seriously, Phoenix, stop what you’re doing, stop kissing me!” I straightened up and looked at her seriously.
“I saw you and Enrique talking, and I saw you kissed him.” Her eyes widened because of what I said. “I was hurt, but what right do I have if I’m at fault? I left because I didn’t want to hear what you were talking about, but before I left I heard that you told him to wait for you. He has nothing to wait for because I will not sign anything, and I’ll put a lot of security so that he can’t run away with you. When I see his head here, I’ll do target shooting. Ants will be happy because his brain is as fat as when he was young.”
“Why didn’t you get mad at me when I kissed him? You’ve proven it that I just kiss anyone, why aren’t you mad at me?”
“Because it’s my fault, then I realized that you’re not that kind of woman. I know you were hurt, so you did that. But he’s unlucky because he’ll hope for nothing.”
“Glad you know that. And well, even if it doesn’t matter, I’ll still clear my name. You’re the only man who kissed my lips. Enrique was second yesterday.”
“Really?” Motherfucker, I know my stomach is empty yet, but why does it seem like I want to party more.
“Don’t believe me and I won’t force you. What do you think we talked about when you left?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t care because I’m gone and I don’t want to hear his answer. I might just kill that idiot if he hopes and I hear him say yes he’ll wait for you. He’s unlucky because his pubic hair will turn white and grow old. I’m still your husband. ”
“I hope you didn’t leave so you heard his answer.”
“Are you hurting me, Hailey? Because if you are, I’m already hurting.” she laughed softly at what I said. Her laughter is seductive and I want to undress her now and enter her over and over again. “Okay, all right, just hurt me but don’t expect me to sign anything. That idiot is even more hopeless.”
“Enrique isn’t that kind of guy. He didn’t agree with what I said and he believes we can get along.” My annoyance to him seems to disappear at what she said. That idiot also has a brain and I want to hug him tightly until he can no longer breathe and he can see the light for a moment.
“Why don’t you believe that we’re going to be okay, Hailey?” Her face got serious then she looked into my eyes.
“I’m just freeing you, so you can build your own family.”
“You’re the one that I want to build my family.”
“I can’t give you that.”
“Why, because you don’t want to?”
“No, because I’m infertile, I can’t have children, Phoenix. I can’t give you a child. Maybe, that’s reason enough for us to be annulled. Let me go, so you can be happy. Enrique knows that since then. I can’t give you the dream of having many children. Like you want it since we were young.”
I could not answer what she said. I looked at her seriously. How did that happen? Impossible!
“Grandpa said–”
“Grandpa just told to you that, so you’ll stay longer, and maybe you’ll fall for me before you know my secret. So you can accept me.”
“You’re lying, aren’t you?” she shook her head in response.
“Forgive me, but that’s the truth. That’s why I let you say all those harsh words because I’m guilty too, I’m a real cheater.”
“Hailey.”
“Phoenix, your life would be happier if I wasn’t by your side. I’m infertile Phoenix, I don’t have the ability to have a child, and I can’t give you a child. I can’t get pregnant. You won’t be happy with me.”
