Chapter 63 Odd Behaviour
"Is Elena one of the models on the commercial of Fontana Hotel in Texas?" She asked her husband while they were in their own room.
It was nine o'clock in the evening, they were currently resting and lying in the bed. Him holding her while she lay her head comfortably in his one arm. It's been days she wanted to ask him and now that she got the chance, immediately fire him the question.
"Yes, she asked me if I could do her a favor by considering her as the main model in advertising the new Fontana Hotel in Texas and I said yes." He answered nonchalantly then pull out a weary yawn.
"Just like that, you said yes? You never suggested her to undergo such screening tests or auditions? Aren't it was supposed to be like that?" She argues. A tinge of irritation was obvious now to her voice.
What is she a VIP? Just because she wants the project, it will be easily given to her just because she was a family friend? There's a lot of competitive and influential person who is more deserving to endorse the hotel than her but she got the job just because she ask for it?
"Elena is a Supermodel wifey, she doesn't have to undergo on that kind of stuff. Her popularity is just fit to represent the hotel. Besides Mom talked to me that Elena has this institution she was helping with and she's willing to give her fifty percent fee on that if she is considered as the main model."
"Now she wanted to be the main model. I thought she wanted to be considered as one of the models, not the main model?" She stated emphasizing the last words. See how sly and manipulative she was?
"Wait, am I sensing a tinge of jealousy in you?" Thyago asked mischievously with an amused expression now written on his face.
That made her stunned and silent for a while. She didn't know she was that too transparent that she is now being carried away with her emotions. Thyago then cupped her face and look into her eyes. She pouted her lips and avoided not meeting his eyes. She was jealous, yes. With the way how he describes Elena with her profession and her popularity, he seemed so amazed about her and that's what irritates her more.
"I hate Elena and you knew that!" She exclaimed annoyingly.
She was being unreasonable and childish she knew it, but then she doesn't care. Thinking about Elena and how she can do things to be close with her husband really worries and made her jealous.
"Hey baby, you don't have to be jealous. You know how much I love you and how I was so crazy about you. There's nothing to be jealous about, it's you that I love and you knew that." He stated lovingly then pulled her for a tight embrace.
"I'm not jealous, okay! I just hate her coming near me and terrorizing what's mine." She replied annoyingly. Thyago then let out a hearty laugh being amazed by her choice of words.
"Stop laughing will you! I don't intend to make you laugh Mr. Thyago Williams!" She moved away from his hold then arise from the bed trying to get away from him.
"Come here, baby. You're so cute and lovely, let me kiss you..." He suddenly drawled.
Being upset, she didn't follow what he requested. He attempted to come near her and was about to touch her but she immediately moved away and evaded his touch.
"Stop being stubborn, Wifey. Let me hold and kiss you." To her surprise, he move in one swift motion, came closer to her then immediately grabbed her for a hug until they fell down on the bed.
He started kissing her torridly as soon as her back touches the bed. He kissed her on the lips for a long and fiery moment until his kisses went down to her neck and nibbled her sweet spot. She giggled when she felt his five o'clock shadow touch her neck creating a tickling sensation on that part of her.
"Stop it! Your stubbles tickle me!" She said in between giggles.
The brute then teasingly kept on rubbing his stubbles on her neck until her giggles turned into a burst of loud laughter. He just stopped when she was almost crying begging him to stop. He then contently hugged her from the back as he could hear the sound of her panting.
"Seriously wifey, aren't you and Elena outgrew your conflictions? Are you still not talking to each other until now?" She heard him curiously ask.
"Why would we? We practically hate each other and you knew that." She replied.
"Don't you think it's time for the two of you to patch things up? You were now both matured and old enough for that don't you think?"
"Some things are better to remain that way. It's not what you call immaturity, it's more like doing ourselves a big favor. I don't wanna get closer to her but I can remain civil though, that is if she will do the same with me." She answered honestly.
"I don't want you holding grudges to anyone, Wifey. I know you have a good heart but you still keep burdens and pains into that heart of yours. I wanna help you set those free because I want you to be completely happy." He stated meaningfully.
Her forehead knotted with his meaningful words. What does he mean by that? Are they still talking about her and Elena? Why does she feel he was talking about a different topic?
"Wait, are we still talking about Elena or you're pointing out something that I didn't know?" She queried.
She saw the sudden uneasiness in his eyes when she asked that question and that made her wonder why?
There he goes again with that kind of odd look. It's kinda like he wanna talk about something but something stops him to do so. He had been acting this way for the past few days and it starting to derange the hell out of me!
"Let's sleep and rest now. The whole day is pretty tiring..." He then stated as if trying to avoid the topic.
She really had a feeling he was intending to change the topic. Is he hiding something from her? She was at that thought when he suddenly kissed her forehead then bade her goodnight. And there she was, being left wondering.
There are some instances he notice that he was acting strange like there's something he badly wanna tell her but it's as if he'll start to hesitate and then will change the topic. She remembers asking him one time if they had a problem or if he was bothered about something. His face suddenly got alarmed and started to get uneasy then. He pulled out a forced smile and told her its just nothing and that she was just overthinking. This is something she don't like about between them recently.
I mean we're married and we ought to talk about things that deal with each other's lives. If something went wrong, we have to settle things out. If we have these worries, insecurities, and fears? We have to let each other know about it so we can compensate each other's weaknesses because that's what married couples do, that's what families are.
This thing worries her badly. She doesn't know if If she was just being paranoid or what? She knew they have to talk about this matter the sooner the better. She wanted to open up about this matter but she guess maybe he was not yet ready. She will trust him for now and will wait until he was ready. After all, trust and love are what marriage is all about. She sighed as she watched her husband fall asleep. That night, she had fallen asleep thinking over that matter.
