Act.

Thaliah

"Silly, what's with that face?"

He asked, my face crumpled as I ngiwi to him.

"This is my disgusted face, like hell I gusto to have a honeymoon sayo noh!"

I muttered almost a whisper, Alpha loosened up his tie then just shooked his head on me.

"I'm not serious with that."

He said while were still lakad to papasok to the mansion.

"Oh you're not?"

I asked, why do I sound kinda hinayang ba? I pouted, Alpha just hissed.

"Let's get inside, the maids already prepared our room."

He uttered while helding my waist, I make simangot to him.

"Will you stop dikit to me and bitaw na? There is no one here, and what do you mean our?"

I said, Alpha faced me as he held me closer. My heart fluttered while he's staring at me intensely, I'm almost maduleng na because his handsome--I mean pangit face is really close to mine.

"I'm putting an act, and I'm sure there are some paparazzi's around, we were both known in our fields also our families, kataka taka naman kung makikitang hiwalay tayo ng kwarto, so we have to make sure."

He whispered in my ears, I can feel his hot breath on my neck that suddenly brought tingles on my spine.

"O-okay."

I said then smiled at him, so we have to share bed?

omg!---oh my gagow! I'm not excited at all! My hands were shaking as we walk to the path where the master's bedroom is located, it's my first time that tabi with a man so I got a konting nervous lang neman.

My gown is kinda heavy so Alpha helped me with it as we went inside the huge room---with two queen sized beds.

"So were not gonna share bed?"

I asked, I wanted to slap myself for a moment.

"Why? Do you want to?"

Alpha asked, my face crumpled then shooked my head on him.

"I don't want to!"

I said then rolled my eyes on him, I immidiately hiwalay to him and then went straight to the bed where my maleta is located to get something I could change into and then went bathroom.

 I can feel my cheeks burning, maybe because of the embarassing thoughts I am having earlier, goodness!

I pouted as I reached my back to unzip my gown, I am flexible so I can easily unzip it...

"Uhm, Alpha?"

I called his name as I make silip to my husband--well temporary husband. He's sitting on the edge of his bed, he hubad his suit already.

The heck am I doing?

"Uh nothing!"

I said then balik to the bathroom, for goodness sake Thaliah! you can perfectly reach it!

"Alpha!"

I again silip from the door.

"C-can you help me u-uh unzip my gown? I can't u-unzip it."

I smiled awkwardly at his direction, seriously Thaliah?! I want to slap myself non stop. Alpha then stood up while looking at my direction.

I was staring back at him until he went near me, I gulped.

"Turn your back."

He said, I nodded my head as I did what he told me to do. I felt breathless the moment I felt the tip of his fingers touching my skin, It's electrifying. I couldn't move while bitting my lips, His green eyes met my gaze through the mirror and it somewhat made me feel weird.

Looking at him this close to me, made me look so small, or maybe he's just huge, I pouted. He cleared his throat, his expression were dark it's intimidating.

"Done."

He uttered, I just tango to him then awkwardly smiled.

"S-Salamat."

I said, he didn't answer and just went out of the bathroom. I frowned then face palmed, ~I'm so papansin! omg! I can damn reach the zipper! I can unzip it myself! why do I have to ask for his help?!

I just took a bath still processing everything on my mind, wow, this is the first shower being Mrs Juarez. Earlier this morning I took a shower as Ms Ross, I just shooked my head on that thought.

I just wore a simple shirt and a comfy pajama, I am drying my hair when I went out, Alpha is sitting on his bed while doing something on his laptop. He glanced at me, making our gazes met, I couldn't stand it so I was the one who first looked away.

"You can take a bath now then rest already, you look tired."

I stated then went to my bed, good thing they packed my blow dyer with my tons of clothes inside, why did they even pack all my things and brought it in here? I'm not going to leave yet until my dad's operation is over.

After I dried my hair I decided to lay in the soft comfy bed. I was in deep thought and just tulala in the kisame.

After almost half an hour, I still couldn't sleep. Alpha went out of the bath room and even if I feel like I want to glance at him, I didn't.

He smells really good though...

"Can't sleep?"

He said with his deep voice, I bit my lips trying hard not to look at him, his voice sounds intimidating too!

"Hmm yeah."

I uttered then sighed.

"I really can't believe I will end up marrying like this. "

I added.

"You know what? back then when I was in high school, I have a big crush on someone, he's my first love."

I said dreamingly, Alpha hissed I glanced at him which I regret when I saw him topless. Damn! that well toned body looks like I am commiting a sin just by glancing at it.

"He's not your first love, that's just a puppy love, you're just high school that time, what do you know about love?"

He muttered, I just glared at him.

"Well he's cute and he's really kind to me and sweet...well he's like that to everyone."

I giggled.

"He's probably gay."

He again commented making my smile fade.

"He's not---okay back to the story! It's our prom night, I am so excited pa naman that time. I even sabi to myself that I won't sayaw with anyone unless it's him. Were pretty close so I'm confident he will. So I rejected all the invitation from my school mates. To make the story short, the night ended without him asking me for a dance, I feel like my fairy tale suddenly collapsed."

I don't know why I'm suddenly telling this to him.

"I myself wouldn't ask you for a dance."

He uttered making me pout.

"Whatever, as if I wanted to dance with you."

I rolled my eyes on him.

"Right away."

He added, my brows furrowed.

"Why?"

I asked then glanced into his direction, he's still staring at me as if he's going to eat me up.

"You're too beautiful I might get nervous at first, but will eventually invite you."

He shrugged, I felt my cheeks burned a bit for a momment.

"What if I reject you?"

I asked with a grin on my face, I don't think I could reject him him though. I might just say yes without thinking just by looking at his magnificent dangerous eyes.

"I'll leave.."

He simply said, my mouth formed an 'o' then nodded my head.

"Then I'll come back to ask you again, I won't stop untill you say yes."

He said, I blinked, for a moment I felt my heart skip beat. I bit my lips and continued talking.

"What if I still don't want to?"

I asked again.

"Then I'll wait for the next opportunity to ask you for a dance, like I said, untill you say yes."

He responded seriously, It got me in daze for a moment.

"You're makulit pala."

I just said that, but I don't really know what to say.

"I just kinda remembered that now, you know, the memory that will suddenly pop out of your mind."

I giggled.

"Just like noown when I pangakow to just seyaw with my crush and rejected every man who asked me. I also sabi to myself to kasal only isang guy. But for some reason I keep rejecting my manliligaws and now look at me, married to you. But hey, atleast Dad will be doing his best to participate in the operation."

I smiled brightly at that thought.

"How about you? I know it's an important wish, but don't you think you have freedom to choose who you want to be with too? Why did you pili to kasal to me? You said you like somebody else right?"

I asked, Alpha's gaze is so hot it feels like there will be laser beems coming out from it then melt me.

"I don't like her."

He muttered, I make kunot noo while staring at him.

"But you said you want to marry her, back then at the Beach resort right?"

I asked.

"Go to sleep already, I know this day is tiring."

He said without sabi the sagot in my question and then higa na to his kama.

"Good night Alpha."

I uttered softly then glanced at his direction.

"Call me Azarel, Magdalene."

He said while looking at me, I blinked.

"Uhm.. Good night Azarel."

I managed to say making him smile a bit.

"Good night, Magdalene."

This day is really draining, being married, making asikaso to the guests and acting like we do love each other...I hope the next days of us being together will come out alright.

Well I guess not that all right...

"What do you mean we have to go now?! Your surgery is tommorrow and you want me to go with Azarel in the province?! I'm not matatahimik daddy!"

I feel so frustrated, can't just mom and dad think of my of mind just once?! they are stressing me out!

"Will you hear me out Thaliah?!"

Dad muttered, I just simangot to him, he's abuso na ha!

"I'm doing this for you!"

He said, I'm holding back since I'm thinking about his condition.

"I don't understand, I just want to be here for you, I can go there with him after the operation, so why now? I don't know why you're always rushing things, Is there something you're not telling me?"

I said trying to compose myself then glanced at Alpha's direction. He's just silently sitting in the couch while just listening to us, I feel they are pinag totulongan me!

"Please try understand your dad Thaliah, he's just scared on how will his operation come out."

Mom uttered, I still don't understand their freaking point! My parents are complicated. They say I'm not hearing them out but they are the one who is not hearing me out!

Where's the equality?!

Well I like equality! I hate everyone equally! I frowned.

"I'm doing this for you Thaliah."

My father said seriously, my things are already packed without me noticing it! Gosh! But the thing is, my dad seems like he's in panic, does it has something to do with the surgery? And what the heck does he mean, he's doing this for me?!

"You will travel all the way to the province today, there's no time to waste. No but Thaliah, if you'll stay for me then hindi ko na itutuloy ang operasyon."

He said with much authority, I just simangot to him.

"You badly need that! I just want to stay----"

I stopped when I saw his hawak his chest, mommy quickly alalay to him.

"Just do it Thaliah, Babalitaan nalang kita sa maagiging resulta ng surgery ng daddy mo."

My mom said trying to assure me, Alpha is now beside me, I just sighed.

"The helicopter is ready."

He suddenly uttered, my eyes widened.

"Azarel!"

Oh god! Seriouslly? no one will kinig ba to me?! Alpha just held my hand and slightly pisil it, I kinda feel like they are not telling me something I am suppose to know.

"Good, ikaw lang ang pinagkakatiwalaan ko sa anak ko Azarel."

Dad said seriously, looks like they already made a decision. 

"I'll take care of her, I won't let anyone lay even a finger."
