Stella
I AM AN EXCEPTION TO HIM? But why? I didn't get it. So I adjusted my seat again and looked at him seriously again. I want to know. I want to hear him explain.
"Why?" My answer was short and I was almost out of breath when he approached me. With only a little space left, the rest of us will stick together.
"Jaxon, I'm asking you. Why am I the only exception?" I asked again but he just stared at me and it moved to my lips. I don’t know but I was nervous at the stares he gave me.
"Can I kiss you, Wife?"
My brain almost flew at his question. My lips parted in shock and disbelief staring at him. Gosh, what are you saying Jaxon? Instead of answering me, he did this.
"What-" I just interrupted when I felt his soft lips on my lips. My eyes widened, my body grew cold. It was as if my soul had fled.
Even my heartbeat quickened. I no longer knew what was going on around me. I’m too floated by what Jaxon is doing right now.
His earlier light kiss deepened even more. Whatever my restraint I could only feel my gradual response to his kiss. This is the second time around when we kiss. The first was when we got married, the second is now.
Even though our lips were touching, I could feel his smile. I didn’t know what merged with me and I responded. You two are married, Stella. What's wrong there? But it's just an arranged marriage and you don't know how Jaxon feels about you.
Pull yourself together, Stella! Push him away!
I was about to push him but I just felt the loss of his lip and that's when I woke up. I think all the blood in my body went up to my cheek. I can already feel the criticism on my cheek.
"Why? Why did you kiss me?" I’m fainting but I can’t help but question. I saw the reflection of his small smile on his lips while caressing my cheek.
"Because you're my wife and I can't stop myself from kissing you. You are irresistible, Stella. You are so beautiful."
As he said this, his stare was deep, which made my heart go crazy again at what I heard. I don’t know if I will believe him or not. He was really hard to read.
"Jaxon!" I shouted when he kissed my neck and hugged me tightly. I just really want to pass out from what he's doing now.
Is he dealing with something right now?”
"You smell so sweet, my Wife. Good night. Have sweet dreams." After he said that he slowly left the hug and leaned over me. I could even feel him quickly stealing a kiss from me.
When he turned off the light on the side table, I was shaking and touched my lip. To this day I can still feel his lips. His lips are so soft and sweet. I admit it.
But I wonder, why did he do that? Because we're married? Or maybe he just tripped me? But whatever it is, I hope it will not harm me in the future.
That's why I need to always let my guard up. I didn’t even know what Jaxon was planning should I be ready. Maybe I can feel what I should feel. It’s hard, I might just lose in the end. So before I finally closed my eyes I reminded myself first.
Don't let yourself fall to him, Stella. Don't.
…
I was just shocked when I woke up. When I went down to the kitchen, I saw Jaxon cooking. He is now home and wearing a maroon apron. I don’t know but I smiled at what I saw.
"Good morning." I broke the silence so he quickly looked at me and smiled. Because he did that my heart reacted again.
Heart, calm down. Don't be a flirt.
"Good morning, Stella. How's your sleep?" He asked softly and I saw him lower the stove once closer to me. I was surprised when he wrapped his two arms around my waist.
I, on the other hand, have my knees almost tender. Fortunately, he hugged me so that I would not fall again.
"It's good. You do not have work today?" I was curious and I thanked him when he left, hugging me and went back to what he was cooking.
"Rest day time. You? Don't you have a photoshoot today?" He asked again so I stood beside him and my mouth watered when I saw what he was cooking.
"Hmm… nothing. We're the same. I have a rest day today." I answered with a smile so he nodded.
"That's great! After we eat we're going somewhere." He said so I stared at his clear face.
It's been three weeks since I married him. And in the three weeks we’ve been together I see the real Jaxon. On camera and in magazines he is serious but when it comes to it he is always smiling and laughing.
Maybe he's good at pretending when he is in public places. So maybe he was also told to be mysterious. This man is also naughty. Sometimes he's sweet but sometimes he's too mysterious. You also can’t read the emotions in his eyes.
"Is my dish delicious? Just the right taste?" He asked when he would give me a shrimp so I got a thumbs up because it was delicious.
"Perfect," I admit so for the first time I saw the joy and amazement in his eyes. And I wonder what emotion is this.
"But you're the only perfect for me, Stella."
I almost choked on my saliva because he said so. I was stunned for a moment and didn't notice that I felt a thrill at what he was saying. I gasped and tried to laugh.
"I'm not, Jaxon. By the way, where are we going?" I change the subject and turn around to sit at the table. I felt his obedience.
"Secret." He said and winked at me. Because of what he did, I was left dumbfounded and speechless.
What's with you, Jaxon? Why are you doing this to me?
…
"WOW! Is that true ?!" I wondered when I saw the place he had brought me today. The two of us were on an ice skating rink.
I don’t know why he brought me here so I quickly approached him and asked.
"Why are we here? What if later someone sees us." My voice was full of fear so he smiled at me and gently stroked my cheek.
"Calm down, Stella. No one can see us. I closed this for the two of us." He answered, causing my lips to part and I couldn't help but strike him on the arm.
"That's why you dared to come here. By the way, why are we here? I don't know how to skate." I admit that's why he laughed while I frowned.
"Don't laugh at me, Jaxon. I'm serious, what am I going to do? I'll just watch you skate there?" I was irritated by the question so he stopped and quickly grabbed my hand.
"I'm sorry. I just want to go with you since you want to do it. When you went to Korea, you couldn't ice skate because you got sick." He said so my eyes widened at what I found out.
"How did you know? I didn't tell you anything? And yes, I wasn't with you because I got sick. You're very upset with them because they didn't wait for me." I said while pouting and saw his small smile again.
"Your dad told me. So I closed it because I want you to experience it. Don't worry, I will guide you on how to skate. Trust me." He still smiled in response so I excitedly nodded and held his hands.
When I touched it I felt thousands of electricity. I just felt it now so my heart started beating faster again. I was momentarily stunned by his face when I saw it up close.
"Try to relax, Stella. Slide your right shoes first and then your left. Then just balance," he preached so I nodded and did what he said.
At first, I was nervous because I might suddenly fall. Maybe later Jaxon won't catch me, it's still painful not to catch.
"Hey Jaxon, maybe when I fall you won't catch me," I threatened but just raised the corner of his lip and went in front of me.
"Maybe I'm the one you won't even catch when I fall." He answered so I smirked at him and grabbed him by the waist.
"Why would I even catch you if you know how to do this." I jokingly said so his lips parted and he couldn't believe he looked at me so I raised an eyebrow at him.
So when I tried alone I couldn’t immediately balance. Fortunately, Jaxon was quick and he touched my waist. Because of what happened we laughed together.
As he laughed I just watched him. He is more handsome when laughing and smiling. That's why it's nice to watch him when he smiles or laughs because of the comfort of his face.
"This is the first time I saw you laughing." I couldn’t help but say so he stopped and stared into my eyes.
"It's because of you."
So I turned around and patted him lightly on the chest. "Bolero." I was about to leave but he tightened his grip on my waist so his face came closer to mine.
"Stella, let's give our marriage a try. I want to take risks in this marriage."
StellaWHAT SHOULD I ANSWER HIM? Until now, I was just stunned and shocked by what he said. It’s also one of the things I dislike most about Jaxon. straight to the point when speaking, he would say what was on his mind.Does its mouth have no brakes? He suddenly startled me!"You're not scared? What if one day everyone finds out? Even if we're doing it now it's dangerous even if it's just the two of us." I said in a nervous tone but he just smiled at me and stroked my cheek again."I'm also scared, Stella. But I want to give our relationship a try. I don't want us to be awkward with each other."So I blinked hard and sighed loudly. I even bit my lip before speaking again.
StellaI was moved by what I witnessed and couldn't stop crying. Jaxon abruptly lowered the cake off the small table and walked up to me when I noticed he was perplexed.He asked, concerned, "Stella, why are you crying? Did anything bad happen?," and I shook my head and sniffled before responding.I cried in response, and he hugged me and caressed my back to calm me down. "This is the first time that someone surprised me on my birthday, and you're the first man who did this to me, so I went emotional."I was joking, so he laughed and kissed my forehead. "Thank you, Jaxon. You're bothersome, I'm haggard now and you're going to make me weep. Maybe later I'll be ugly."My heart began to beat faster once more as I was yet again stunned by what he did. To suppress my smile, I bit my lip in secret.Hold it together, Stella. Take care of your heart and yourself.He said that's why I reprimanded him: "You're still lovely to me, Stella. Even if you still cry there, you're still so beautiful."
StellaI was still stated on shocked when I entered our company. I'm just thankful because the photoshoot for the perfume and bag I'm endorsing will be held this afternoon.The manager isn't here yet, maybe he'll wake up late again because he knows my photoshoot will be this afternoon. When I entered the office I just dropped myself on the sofa and leaned. I closed my eyes tightly because to this day I still remember what Jaxon told me. This is the first time I haven’t slept properly today."You're my present and future, Stella.""My Gosh! Calm yourself. Maybe Jaxon will mean something else. Maybe you'll be his future friend, don't expect too much, Stella. You'll end up hurting."I angrily said to myself and rolled around on the sofa. Luckily it was big and I will not fall even if I jump here.Because it's Jaxon, it has a big effect on me to the point I will not properly function. He will say what he has to say.But I just stopped what I was doing when I felt my cellphone vibrate. Wh
StellaHE'S JEALOUS? But why? Devron was the only one in front and I was talking. Until now he was just staring at me now so I couldn’t help but look at his eyes.His face was so dark that he was ready to take me if anyone tried to take me from him. So I took his hand and spoke."You don't have to be jealous of him, Jaxon. He's my cousin. No one is kidnapping me. Devron is my cousin." I made sure and there his face softened at what I heard.He bit his lip and laughed softly again. I don’t know why he’s laughing. He closed his eyes as if you were holding back on what he could do."I'm sorry, Stella. It just led me to how I feel. I'm just not used to you being with someone other than me. I feel like they can outdo me and make you like them." He said kindly and I just felt that he passed me and locked me in his arms.I close my eyes to what he did. I want to ask why is he jealous? Does he already feel anything for me? Or is he just used to being with me every day?But I'm afraid to ask h
Stella"You'll be away for three days, right?" He made sure again while we were in the car on the way to the airport."Yes. And then are you sure you're going to take me to the airport? What if someone knows you even though you're in disguise?" I was worried about his decision but he just smiled at me and gently held my hand.“Don’t be scared, Wife. No one can see and know me. I just want to make sure you’re safe. ” He answered so I couldn't stop smiling and I put my head on his shoulder.“Thank you, Jaxon. Even though I didn’t say you would take me to the airport you still did. You put me before your job. ” I said sincerely so I heard his laugh again.“Because you are my wife, Stella. My job makes me wait, I'd rather take you because we won't see each other for a few days. ” I could feel the sadness in his voice so I couldn't help but get affected too.I also cried because there was no one to cook for me before we entered each other work.So I just kept quiet so that the tears that I
StellaI was very surprised when I heard what Jaxon said. I bit my lip hard again so that the accent of my scream coming from my mouth would not be heard on the other line."Stella, are you still there?" I just went back to trance when I heard his voice so I faked a cough and calmed myself."Hmm… I'm still here, Jaxon.""I miss you, Wife. Don't you miss me?" He was asking again so I took a deep breath first and he answered."Jaxon, we haven't seen each other for half a day, you'll miss me right away. I don't miss you." I was joking and I was just surprised when he complained that you thought he was a missing child and I'm his mother who has been away for a few hours. "But I miss you. I know that you miss me too." He competitively said so I turned around and let him go. He seemed to have tantrums as a child because of what he did today."Fine, fine. I miss you too." There was a softening in my voice and I just heard on the other line the loud crash that you thought something big had f
Stella"HOW DID YOU FIND ME?" I asked as soon as I broke away from his embrace. To this day it still never enters my mind that Jaxon is here in front of me. His eyes were smiling and wide as he looked at me."I secretly contacted your Manager. I couldn't stand it, I went to see you even though you will be home in two days." He answered so I felt the butterflies in my stomach again.Jaxon, why are you like that? My feelings for you deepen more. You're annoying and it makes me scared."I mean you're the one I saw earlier at the fashion show. That's you, right? I wasn't mimicking before?" I asked one more question so he laughed softly and kissed my forehead before answering."Yes, that's me, Wife. I'm sorry if I leave right away. Someone will notice me since I didn't full-disguise before. Seeing you walking on that runway makes you the brightest star in the world. You were so elegant and gorgeous that time. " He tenderly compliments me to hide my excitement."You're always complimenting
StellaI IMMEDIATELY FELT ENVY to myself when I saw her up close. For the first time in my life, I felt insecure not about myself but with this woman who's now talking to my husband. She’s beautiful, she’s so beautiful.And this time, I knew in myself I was jealous of the two of them. I was jealous because she was the first to love Jaxon.I was jealous because she was the first to hold Jaxon's hands. She was its first embrace. She was all and I obeyed.I'm second to Jaxon but I still don't have the right to be jealous because we've only been arranging marriage since the beginning. No love has been formed, nothing yet and I don’t know if there will be.I secretly look at these two who are talking to each other like they have their world. Even though I wanted to stay I decided to leave them first.I was about to take a step but it stopped when Coleen looked at me and her eyes narrowed when she saw me."Wow, she's Stella, right? The most beautiful and elegant model that I know. What's yo
