"W-what are you doing here?"
"I want to talk to you." My heart throbs so fast when I saw her standing outside. She looks ok and there is no trace of an accident. I became more and more nervous and I didn't know why. My chest feels like anytime my heart will come out with so much excitement.
"Where's your lawyer? Aren't we not allowed to be close without a lawyer?" I tried to stabilize myself. I also don’t look at her face or her eyes because my knees are just softening. I want to pull her and hug and kiss her. Son of --- I really miss her lips.
"You're not allowed to come near me. Am I not allowed to come near you?" she asked. What if I will also file a restriction that she is not allowed to approach me. "Can I come in?" Relax, self, let's relax.
"C-come in." My knees became like a jelly suddenly. "S-seat." Especially my tongue.
"Why did you ban me to the leave?" I swallowed first before answering. Margot is still calm and I can’t see her angry. But I shouldn't look at her because by the time I see her face I'm done.
"You also filed a restriction on me. Blaze also banned me from the subdivision so it's fair." I simply blew air because of what I said. I'm not nervous but I want to manage myself. She shouldn't know that her presence affects me so much.
"Call your lawyer and ask him to withdraw ---"
"No," 'Don't look on her face, Jace. Don't look her in the eye.'
"Listen, Jace ---"
"Listen, Margot, I let you restrict me from coming near to you. I let you file an annulment. So let me do what I want to. I know I'm at fault so I stayed away and wouldn't interfere with you. Then now you're going to look for me to tell me what to do? If you leave without telling me about your plan, you are already outside the Philippines." 'Go, Jace, we can do this as long as I won't look at her.
"You're still childish."
"I am."
"We're still married, so I still respect you by letting you know that I'll be leaving. Do you think, Jace, it would be that easy for me to accept what happened to me if I were here in the Philippines? No. One more thing, I will continue your restriction and the annulment."
"Aren't you really going to change your mind?" Not to brag but I know she still loves me. I feel like I still have an impact on her somehow. "If I let you go will you really leave forever and leave me? Will the annulment still continue?"
"Yes."
"You don't want me to be a part of your life anymore?"
"Yes." Once and for all. There is nothing wrong if I try. Since she came here then, I will take advantage of that. I just need to be firm.
"Stay here for a night, and leave tomorrow morning. I will call the attorney to cancel the restriction so you can leave. You can go home tomorrow morning."
"What?"
"I mean, stay here with me. Sleep with me, talk to me. Let's reminisce about the past and if there's really isn't any chance. Then feel free to leave the country."
"This is nonsense, Jace."
"A childish I know. Take it or leave it."
"Do you think it will work? We're wasting our time. You will waste my time. I am hurt because of you and you want me to stay with you?"
"Then leave without taking anything from me."
"Why are you doing this?"
"To save our marriage."
"No use."
"Ok, Then stay as Mrs. Enrile, and you can't leave the country." 'Stand up for this, Jace. Be stubborn.' I looked at her face and immediately avoided it because I saw she hesitated as if she didn't want to. I shouldn't look at her or else----I'm dead once she begs me by her look.
"I don't have anything." I smiled. It feels like my plan is successful.
"Just wear my dress."
"Jace, if you're thinking that ----"
"Leave now without my words, or stay here in exchange for me withdrawing from the restriction." I need to be strong because I might just suddenly change what she wants to happen. Maybe when I looked at her and she said I need to withdraw it, I would just agree easily.
"Do you mean it?" she asked.
"The restriction withdrawal? Yes." I heard her deep sigh.
"Fine." I won. I smiled and took a t-shirt and boxer then handed it to her.
"Change so your clothes don't get dirty. I'll just buy you food."
"I'll eat what you have."
"Hotdog and egg."
"TSS." I opened the covered plate with two eggs and two hotdogs.
"Don't be greeny, Margot, that's really my dish. Do you like it or not?"
"Buy me anything. Biscuit and soda are fine." I nodded and headed to the store and bought five biscuits and a liter of soft drink.
While walking home I can't help but smile. The thought of Margot being with me has something that makes my stomach nervous and upset. It's been more than three months since I sleep with her. I don't know if it's excitement or what. I'm just happy, period.
When I returned, she was already dressed. She's really sexy. Especially now she was wearing my clothes. I feel ---- secret.
"Here's your food." I also ate while she ate a biscuit. I am standing because there was only one chair. I saw her roll her eyes around. "We can stay at the hotel if you want." Maybe she just doesn't want to be here and she's not comfortable.
"We can stay here."
"Ok." After I ate I sat down on the pallet. This is just right for one person but because Margot is sexy, we can fit in here so we can sleep. Can I really just sleep?
I saw her stand up and pick up her cellphone. She called someone and then looked at me. I’m sure Maggie was the one she called. When she finished she remained standing.
"Come on, lay beside me and we will talk. Here in my arms."
"No."
"See, Margot, I have nothing to do with you. I just want to talk to you. I only have one pillow so I offer you my arm. As I said earlier just reminisce and nothing else. Unless you can't stop yourself."
"Dream on."
"Then come here and lay down." I first heard her sigh before sitting down next to me. "Don't be shy. Lay down."
"Jace, I will warn ---"
"Yes. You're very nervous. Then what if something else happens. You're still my wife."
"Jace this is not---"
"Ok-ok lay down."
