CHRISTOPHER I tugged continuously at Adele's zip but it just won't budge. Adele is holding her hair to the front so I would see the zip properly and her upper back is exposed but that isn't helping at all. I can't count how many times my eyes have trailed up there just to look at that smooth white skin. I can't help it. This zip is stressing me out. I dragged the zip forcefully at once and my eye widened when I heard that sound. "Did my zip just break?", Adele's voice came instantly and I gulped as I stared at the broken zip in front of me. "Uh-", I started nervously and Adele turned to look at me. Her eyes met mine and I can feel the cold sweat dripping down the side of my head. She looks annoyed. "I mean", I started as I cleared my throat. "Who makes clothes like that anyways?", I questioned with a forced, nervous chuckle but Adele isn't smiling at all. "I told you I did not want to ruin the dress!", Adele shrieked as she hit her right foot on the floor. "Well, I-", I
CHRISTOPHER I sat down on the couch and clasped my hands underneath my chin in thought. I can't explain what it is that I feel toward Adele but I know that I am attracted to her. That's the explanation I can give right now about what happened between us yesterday. I was attracted to her, that's all. I mean no guy wouldn't be after seeing that much of her white, porcelain, smooth, silky skin. I stood up from the couch and went to the bed instead. It is seven in the morning and Adele hasn't woken up yet. It is more of the reason why I put the plates outside. I do not want anything or anyone to disturb Adele's sleep. I walked to her side and bent down on the floor as I stared at her sleeping face. A few strands of her hair is covering her right eye, so I pushed it to the top of her head with my finger. I stared at her beautiful face and a smile crept onto my lips. Setting my left hand against her right cheek, I stroked her cheek with my thumb. She moved her head continuously in m
ADELE I sat down in the sitting room as I await her arrival. I have been chatting with Vivian on social media lately and she insisted on visiting. She said she wants to meet Chris as well. And I thought, since I am at a disadvantage for not telling her I was getting married, it is only fair to approve her offer of visiting. We only connected back because of my marriage. I wouldn't have replied to her message on the day she texted me when Chris announced our wedding, but Chris said it wouldn't be bad to chat and go out with old friends. So, I am giving it a try. I had shown her picture to Jacob, the security guard, earlier this morning and he would let her once she arrives. I moved forward on the couch to pick up the remote when the doorbell suddenly rang. Oh my! She is here already? That's fast. I looked up at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past two in the afternoon. I took in a deep breath as I stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. I opened and I am
ADELE I walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and Chris went in immediately. I raised a brow at the closed bathroom door before shrugging and going into the walk-in closet to get dressed up instead. I was done in no time and I hung the bathrobe I used to dry and went to bed. The door to the bathroom finally opened and I looked toward it. Chairs walked out majestically with a towel wrapped around his lower body and I took my eyes off him immediately. My heart started beating fast when my head moved on its own to look at the man standing not far away from me with his hands drying his hair with a towel. Water trailed down from his hair over his face, only to join with the water on his face and the journey continued. I gulped as I trailed that bead of water down to his chest and down those muscular abs on his stomach. It took a rough path going lower and it suddenly went down that v line and into the skin underneath the towel. My throat went dry as I stared at that par
ADELE Chris went into the bathroom and I finally thought of what just happened. I gasped as I held my right hand over my mouth. I did that? I did that with Chris! How? What? Why?! I picked up my pajama trouser from the floor as well and put it on immediately. I stared that the door of the bathroom and I gulped. How am I going to face him? I had been so brave and bold during that intimate time we shared. I dropped onto the bed and sighed deeply before pulling the thick blanket over my body. I don't know why I feel like what happened is not a wrong thing but still wrong at the same time. It should be a normal thing between Chris and me actually since we are married but I am so scared. I have never had sex with anyone before and I heard it can be pretty painful. 'Is this what you had in mind before agreeing to this marriage?', a voice suddenly said in my head and my head throbbed immediately. That's true. I shouldn't be doing this with Chris. I love Daniel, right? Isn't th
ADELE "We should go out someday", Chris said as he dipped his hand into the bowl of popcorn on my lap. Chris had insisted on making popcorn for the movie and I willingly agreed and helped too. The lights are off right now and the television is the only thing emitting light. "Why?", I asked with a frown as I turned to look at him but his face is blue from the display on the television screen. "It's a normal thing couples do almost every time, Adele", Chris replied in a boring tone and I faintly saw him roll his eyes at me. "Mm", I hummed in a not-so-nice way and his head snapped toward me immediately. He turned to look at the television immediately his eyes met my angry face I scoffed before turning to face the television as well. "Am I the only one who finds this movie extremely boring?", I asked with a sigh. "Yes, you are the only one and that's because you are not paying attention to the movie", Chris stated. "As always", he added after a while and I rolled my eyes at
ADELE 'He chuckled and I looked down at my hands. I looked back up and my eyes went wide a little bit when I looked in the mirror. What the fuck is Chris doing?!' The hair at the right side of my head has come loose and it is now cascading down the side of my face, directly on my ear. I can remember the amount of time Vivian spent styling that hair into a neat and perfect bun. She used a lot of pins to make it look beautiful. "What are you doing?", I asked with a frown on my face and Chris stopped immediately as he looked at me with that guilty eyes. I saw him look down at my hair once again and before I could say anything, I felt my hair go loose instantly. "Chris!", I screamed out immediately as I brought my hand up to my head. He has removed all the pins from my hair. I can't believe this. "What?!", he countered back in a very strong tone and it took me by surprise. I turned my body around to look properly at him with a glare on my face. "I- I-", he started incohere
ADELE "I like you both the same way and in the same quantity", I said and they both smiled. "But not up to the way I like my husband", I added thoughtlessly but the smile that appeared on Chris's mother's face was indeed priceless. She looked like she had gotten all she had ever wanted in the world. "Uhm- can I get your attention, please?", the master of the ceremony suddenly said, getting all the attention of the people in the room, and everywhere went silent instantly. "Introducing the new Chief Executive Officer of the most popular appliances-making company in the country", he continued after everyone has their gazes on him. "Christopher Marvin!", he announced and Chris appeared on stage with a microphone in his hand, earning thunderous applause from everyone, including myself. "Good day everyone. I am Christopher Marvin", Chris started and everyone cheered him on with claps once again. "I just wanted to thank you all for coming out-", he started but the words seem to go
