Chapter 3: Moment

Two days have passed since the incident about the CCTV seen inside our house.

Luke and I still haven't been able to talk about that. I don't ask anymore because I feel like he has no intention of opening that topic every time we're together. 

Even if I ask Nanny Josefa, she avoids it and it's obvious that Luke told her about that.

"Witch, what are you thinking?" Kevina asked me.

Kevina is my best friend since high school, she is a former man who has now become a woman who is not even in appearance and I also have a lot of trust in her. Aside from being beautiful, she is also very sensible as a friend.

I took a deep breath before speaking. "I'm just thinking," I answer her.

I looked up when Luke spoke now wearing a rude face. Thick eyebrows are furrowed and the mouth twitches cannot be painted.

I was just staring at my husband's face as he was seriously pointing ahead, I accidentally turned around and my fellow female students almost squinted their eyes while staring at Luke. My eyes landed on the man sitting behind me and it was Harold, smiling at me and still raising his eyebrows.

I was just overwhelmed by the absence.

It's not that I don't like Harold, but I just really don't want to be close to them, especially to men because I know very well how to make Luke jealous. But except for Kevina, because I consider Kevina as a woman.

'If they only knew that he had a wife.' I whispered to myself. Especially with women who you thought were rubbing their asses while staring at Luke.

"Eyes here! Ms. Lindsay!" I looked up because of the baritone voice.

"I'm sorry, sir." I politely apologize and bow.

My classmates quickly stood up when they heard the sound of the bell, I was out of my mind and I put my belongings on my desk and put them in my bag.

"Elle!" someone calls me from behind and when I look at who it is there is none other than Harold, the new transfer here in our section that Kevina referred to the other day.

"Why?" I asked and looked back at the things I was putting in my bag.

He immediately handed me the book so I looked at his face. "Let's go home together." He told me and inevitably frowned.

What, just feeling close even if it's not?

"Ah- I still have some way to go." I'll excuse him even though I don't want him to go home at the same time.

I just don't want Luke to know this and then that will be the way for us to fight.

"I'll go with you." He was already smiling so I frowned a little, this man was scrawny.

Harold and I looked at the door when we heard a hem.

"Elle go to my office now." My forehead frowned. "I'm going to ask you to do something because you haven't listened before." He said next and my shoulder almost dropped to look at my husband.

"Okay, sir," I answered politely before looking back at Harold and being forced to smile.

"Go home first Harold, I'll go with you next time," I said and he nodded slightly at me which I thanked him for.

Harold came out of the classroom first while I was still packing in my bag. When I finished, I immediately grabbed it but I almost jumped when I saw Kevina's face close to me.

"My God, gay! I'm going to have a heart attack because of you. Have you been there before?" I asked as I rubbed my chest. My heart almost went crazy inside because of the shock.

"I saw that!" The smile he says.

"Which one again?" I asked softly but he just stabbed me in the side with his index finger.

"Stop it, we'll talk again tomorrow, my friend. Bye best!" He said before kissing my cheek which I immediately wiped. "What a mannerism is that girl." I commented and turned his back on me.

"Take care." That's all I said and walked over to Luke's office.

I knocked three times before the door opened but I did not expect what I would witness. I thought that I would be the one to be happy because he sent me so that he could be with me, but he had someone else with him.

I immediately turned around while holding my chest due to nervousness and inexplicable feeling. Disgusted? Angry? My heartbeat was so strong that it almost exploded. It has only just happened in the few years that she has been studying here at the university. Only now did she find out that her husband was committing obscenities.

"H-mm. Sorry, ma'am and sir." I politely apologized while still turning my back.

"Elle," Luke calls me weak. I bit my lip before taking a deep breath.

I clenched my fist and just felt the watering of my eye.

I immediately faced their place and bowed.

"I'm sorry again, I'm going home sir," I said before looking up and staring into Luke's eyes. "I'm sorry sir if I didn't listen to your class before, I won't do it again. I'll just do whatever you want me to do tomorrow sir." I politely apologized before turning around and rushing out of Luke’s office.

Chasing my breath until I reached the gate and sat in a nearby chair in front of the school.

‘I was just overthinking maybe, I saw wrong. That's right, Ms. Kapingping just picked up something. It's under Luke's desk so that’s why she's there. ' I said and forced myself to believe.

"Hey." I was immediately distracted by someone holding my arm.

I straightened up and wiped away a few grains of tears that had slipped from my eyes. I smiled broadly at it before speaking.

"Can I still go with you?" I simply asked as he smiled.

"Okay, it's good and no one has passed by and I've seen you here." I just smiled at what Harold said and started walking. "Is Mr. Copley responsible for why you're crying?" Harold continued to ask me so I turned to look at Luke's office from here outside the gate.

I was almost horrified to see Luke turn around and look at me badly. I immediately averted my eyes and hurried to walk away.

"Would you like ice cream?" Harold broke into the silence.

Even though Harold was with me, my mind was still running only with Luke, especially since I caught up with him earlier in his office.

"Elle," Harold called me and I was immediately distracted by the ice cream in the cone on my face.

"I'll be the first, bye. I'll pass you tomorrow, let's go to school together." Harold waved at me.

"A--ahh You can’t--"-I couldn't be finished about what I saying to Harold when someone spoke somewhere.

"Elle." Luke's deep voice heard.

Sticky shit!

"A-All right Harold, it's tomorrow again-" I closed my eyes firmly as Luke cut me off again.

I took a deep breath before going to the kitchen and drinking some water.

What am I going to explain to Harold, other students at our school shouldn’t know what Harold saw because I’m sure Luke will lose his job.

I drained the water before going up to our room. I lowered my carry-on bag to the bed before falling throwing myself and lying on the bed.

I heard the bathroom door open so I looked up to look there.

"I don't want to see you near that man." Luke seriously broke into silence as he rubbed his head with a towel before sitting up on the bed.

"It seems like it's hard what you're saying." It was frustrating to answer him and I felt that he was not moving so I lay down on the bed. "It's necessary to talk to Harold because he might spread what he saw and you'll lose your job." I still answered but I saw the tightening of his fist.

What is his problem?

"You don't need to talk to him." It's a spicy promise and stands up.

I straightened up and sat down.

"You'll lose your license when they find out." I sighed and he turned to me. The anger was obvious in Luke's eyes and it was about to start a fire on me.

"Follow what I say, don't disobey me. Just follow me." It's a thrilling promise.

"Honey, you're the only one I'm thinking of." I calmly told him and I saw the softening of my husband's expression.

"I'll be the one to talk to him." He also calmly told me.

I couldn't help but stroke his elegant arm when I remembered something.

"Ouch!" He nodded but I just stared at him. "What's that for ?!" He asked me lightly.

What's with the amnesty, huh?

"Ms. Kapingping was flirting with you earlier!" I yelled at it and it was stunning. "What! You can't speak!" My eyes glazed over as I told him.

Luke's loud laughter broke out and the echo almost covered our whole room, I picked up a pillow before slapping it on him and Luke almost burst into tears laughing while I was already crying because I was annoyed with him.

I sat down on one side and couldn’t help but sob.

"I hate you," I said despite my crying.

"She gave me the paper I needed to sign for her to pass before going home, but she dropped some papers and it ended up under my desk. I would have taken it but she insisted so I didn't do anything when she preceded to bow. " He gave a long explanation to me as his eyes looked at me affectionately.

He came to my place and immediately hugged me.

I also hugged him and there I wiped my tears without stopping the dripping along with my tears.

After our drama time, I cleaned my body while Luke was downstairs to cook our dinner.

It's not good to overthink, but we also can't be sure if what we have in mind is right or wrong until we talk to the person who is the reason why we overthink.

After cleaning the body and getting dressed I decided to go down to the kitchen. Before I got to the kitchen I could already smell the delicious smell of what Luke was cooking.

My luck when it comes to Luke, my handsome husband is smart, sexy, good at cooking ah, and worth the pack. My husband has many more qualities so I am very blessed.

"Wow, the smells good and you're too handsome when you're cooking, dear," I said happily when I got inside the kitchen. I approached Luke and hugged him from behind. "The scent of yours that I love too." The tenderness I said and caressed his stomach as Luke's ass suddenly pushed me.

"Leave." When he pushes me away from his back.

"Why," I asked confused, and went back to hugging his elegant back again before touching his stomach.

"Fuck!" I heard him whisper and his ass pushed me again.

"What is it!" I shouted angrily. "Don't you want someone to hug you!" Disgusted I told him more.

Luke turned off the stove and turned to face me.

"Honey, my pet saluted you because of what you're doing." He was upset and annoyed at his words to me.

It was inevitable that my eyes would widen because of the tension that was between his thighs.

"O-Okay. I'll just sit there, h-hurry up." I stuttered and smiled hard before rushing to sit away from his place.

Shit! I feel like my cheek heat explodes, for maybe I’m a tomato out of embarrassment.

"You know how good it is to salute when you're close to me." It was even harder before turning around again and spooning the afritada it had cooked.

"Heh! Stop there, bring that here and I'm starving." When I avoid our conversation.

"I'm also hungry but my mouth has something else to eat." I was shaken to see Luke's up and down his eyebrow at the same time as licking his lips.

"You are rude!" I shouted and the madman just laughed.

Seriously, my brain is dirty because of my husband! Sweet shit!

—--

“Love," I call Luke who is lying on the couch.

We just finished watching TV in the living room and it was already past nine in the evening.

"Ahm." He answered me in melody.

My heartbeat quickened immediately because I was itching to ask him this.

"Is there any news about that on camera seen the other day in the living room?" I asked softly and I could feel his deep breathing.

Luke tapped his right arm signaling for me to lie there. I immediately adjusted my seat and lay down properly next to him.

"Don't trust other people Elle." He spoke heavily, it was also obvious that he was having a hard time pronouncing the words accordingly. "I think we also just know the person who put up CCTV inside our house." He said softly as he stared at the ceiling.

"But the whole Villa is secure, isn't it? There are CCTVs as well, didn't anyone notice?" I asked calmly as Luke shook his head.

"All the CCTV was erased that day. So the police got nothing and had no idea who put it up then and what the motive was." I nodded at what he said.

Luke lightly stroked my hair, hugged me tightly, and made me smile.

"I can't let anyone ruin us." Heard what he said.

"I love you, love." I smiled as he said before closing my eyes and sinking my face into his muscular chest.

"Goodnight my love." I hear him say and I smile. 

I fell asleep in Luke's arms and the next morning I woke up already in bed and not on the sofa.
