Carlos and Alex spent the night sleeping in the sofa on both ends. Alex made sure to keep an acceptable distance between the two of them. She doesn't want to give Carlos even a slight chance of being near her. She’s afraid she would give him the wrong idea that she likes being near him or they might become so close to each other and forget about their agreement.
The two of them are already awake when Mr. and Mrs, Lopez arrived. They brought breakfast for them which they shared immediately. They are both hungry even though they ate cake last night.
"Will your parents not look for you, Carlos? You've been staying here for two nights now. Did you inform them that you would be staying here with us?" Mr. Lopez asked Carlos. As a parent, he doesn't want his parents to get worried at him like what he would feel if Alex doesn't go home for two nights.
"Granny asked grandpa for me to stay here until tomorrow sir so I'm sure they are not looking for me there." Carlos answered.
"That's good. We are happy that you are keeping our daughter company. We feel more relieved knowing that she is not alone." Mr. Lopez said sincerely. Even though Alex is a lesbian, for him, she is still a lady that should be taken care of.
"I am willing to accompany her anytime she needs me sir."
Alex had to pretend she didn’t hear anything. Actually, she hopes she didn’t hear anything. It makes her want to puke.
Mr. Lopez is so satisfied hearing Carlos' answers. He knows that with Carlos, his daughter is in good hands. He was at first against the planned marriage of him and his daughter, but now that he sees the possibility of Alex becoming a straight woman, he thinks this marriage is not bad at all. He could also see how caring Carlos is to his daughter, and he is certain that every father would want to have Carlos as a son-in-law.
"We have something to tell you, sir and ma'am." Carlos said. He looked at Alex to signal her that it is the right time for them to announce their decision. Alex stood up beside Carlos. "I and Alex decided to get married after her high school graduation. We are asking for your blessings."
Mr. Lopez can't hide the excitement on his face. He was very happy to see Alex not disapproving of what Carlos just said. Mrs. Lopez, on the other hand, looks very worried.
"Are you sure about your decision? If you're only doing this for your granny, then you'd better think about it again. I don't want you to rush into things. The two of you are still young. I don't want you to regret it later." This is the first time Mrs. Lopez voiced out her opinion. She normally remains quiet and supports whatever her husband or granny Isabela's decision is but this time, it is her daughter's future at stake. She doesn't want Alex to be like her in this family. She doesn't want Alex to be a yes-woman like what she does all the time. Alex is her only child and she doesn’t want her future to be ruin just because the elders in their family wants to her to be married at a young age.
"Don't worry mom. I and Carlos talked about it the whole night and we agreed that it is the right thing to do. And maybe it is a good start for the two of us. We are both immature and getting married would make us better people." Alex was touched with what her mom said but her decision is already final.
Granny Isabela of course is listening to their conversation. She is pretending to sleep. She is so happy with what she heard. Her main reason on why she wants Alex to get married early is for her to become a real woman. She thinks her plan is now working. Thanks to Carlos. She is also worried about her granddaughter but since Carlos is already like a family for her, she never doubts that Alex is in good hands.
"Are you sure about this, Alex?" Mrs. Lopez asked. She wants to make sure that Alex really knows what she is talking about.
"Of course, mom. Don't worry about me. I know Carlos would always help me." Alex assured her.
Mrs. Lopez hugged Alex. She can't help but be worried about her daughter. She feels sorry for not speaking up and standing for her in the past. Now, she had to make a decision on her own. She is sure it is against Alex's will, but she will do everything for her granny.
Mr. Lopez hugged the two ladies. He then smiled at Carlos. "Welcome to the family, my future son-in-law."
Alex can't help crying again. She is happy and scared at the same time and there is no more turning back. She will really get married after her high school graduation and that will be three months later. She has been crying for the past days and this time, she doesn’t know the main reason of her tears. Is it because she doesn’t want to get married or she is happy to see her father happy for her.
Carlos and Alex explained about their decision to have their wedding civil which was agreed by their parents. Mr. Lopez promised that they will respect their decisions, but they will have another wedding ceremony after Alex's graduation from university. Granny Isabela can't be against their decision. Having them married, no matter how simple it is, is already enough for her.
Granny Isabela went home the next day after her doctor said that her condition is now stable. She still needs to take some rest and shouldn't be stressed. Alex's parents decided that Granny Isabela would stay with them so that someone can look after her. Carlos also went back to his home that day.
…
Sunday night was a bit boring for Alex. She decided to stay in her room and take a rest. Normally, she doesn't stay home on weekends. On Saturdays, she goes to their basketball practice and on Sundays, she goes out on a date with her girlfriend. But since her granny was hospitalized, she decided to stay with her.
She was just playing with her phone when she received a message from an unsaved phone number.
"Hey there, missing me? I bet you do. I have to admit, I miss you too."
She remembered she didn't contact her gf since the call she got from her last Friday night. She was so sure the message came from her.
"I guess mental telepathy really works. How did you know I was thinking about you. I can't wait to see you, baby."
Actually, she already forgot about her. She even forgot that she has a gf recently. She was so preoccupied with her granny and the upcoming wedding.
She got a reply immediately.
"Do you want to meet me tomorrow? I can pick you up after your class."
"No need. We might be having a practice tomorrow and I’m not sure what time we will finish. I will meet you after that. What do you want to do tomorrow?"
She doesn't have a practice tomorrow. She just wants to spend some time with her teammates first before spending time with anyone. She is also starting to feel bored having dates with her current gf. She wants to have a break having a relationship. She became excited when she received the next message.
"I am planning to book a hotel downtown. Do you want to meet me there instead? We can enjoy watching a movie and have some private time, just the two of us."
Her gf was never aggressive before. All her gfs in the past were quite conservative and she never forced them to do anything with her.
"That's a good idea. I think we can meet earlier. I can skip our team practice tomorrow for you. Let me know the address and I will be there right after my class. Wear something sexy, baby."
She had never felt so excited meeting her before. She felt bored sometimes having a date with her. The only things they did were to study, eat in restaurants, watch movies in cinemas or walk in parks. She wants to do more than that.
"Haha! Why would I wear something sexy when I can be naked?"
She can't believe what she read but it makes her feel more excited.
"Can't wait to see you. Call me tomorrow for the address."
After she replied, she looked for presents she would buy for her gf. Tomorrow is a very special day. She can finally make a goal with her gf, something she has never done to anyone in the past.
The next day, Alex was very excited to meet his gf. She asked her parents' permission for her to sleep over in her teammate’s place. Since her parents trust her, they always allow her to sleep over in her friend's house as long as she asks for their permission in advance.She packed extra clothes and uniform. She has to attend her class the next day. She is strict when it comes to attending her classes. She never missed any class in the past even though she was sick. It is rare for her to be absent.After preparing her stuff, she left her place and headed for school. She was busy the whole day. She never allowed her excitement to destruct her concentration in her classes.At 4 pm, she got a message from someone. It was from the same phone number who sent her a message last night."I checked-in in Hush Motel downtown. I already told the receptionist that I'm expecting someone. You can come directly in room 305."
Alex can't help but stare at the man sleeping in front of her. He looks very gentle when he is asleep. She must admit that this guy is not that bad when it comes to his looks. In fact, many girls would fall for him because of his height and his body, not to mention his small face and pink lips.Alex tried to brush off what she was thinking by focusing on the movie shown in TV. She couldn’t help but think how she would look like if she is a straight woman. How would she behave as a girlfriend? She starts asking herself about her feelings for this man. She was sure before that she would never fall for a man but nowadays, she can't explain what she feels whenever Carlos takes care of her or when he teases her. These are the feelings she never thought she would feel for the opposite gender. She was surprised when her phone rang. She forgot to set it to silent mode and the sound was quite loud that it woke Carlos up."Hello." Alex answe
Carlos and Alex went back to the motel still very quiet. They can't help but to be awkward with each other and they also had to pretend like nothing happened. Actually, it is only Alex who feels awkward. Carlos has a fixed smile on his face and anyone who would see the two would think that he is a gentleman pursuing a girl he likes a lot.For Alex, she regretted kissing Carlos. Her main purpose for doing it was to stop him from talking but she never thought she would feel something different. There was like an electricity that attracts her to do it again.For Carlos, it was nothing but of course he doesn't want to fall for her or the other way around, that would make things complicated. He was happy at first to know that Alex is a lesbian so he thought it would be easy for them to pretend to be happily married after their wedding in front of their families.After arriving in their room, they both put their plastic bags of food on
They were in that position for a couple of minutes until Alex let go of him. "How can you enjoy kissing your bro? Are you gay?" She said. She then lied down on the bed like nothing happened and slept in an instant.Carlos was left frozen for a moment. He couldn't believe what just happened. He has to admit that he liked it and if she didn't stop kissing him, it might lead to a more passionate activity but he had to remind himself that she is still a minor, meaning he might go to jail if she complains.Carlos can't help himself but to stare at the woman sleeping beside him. She is not that bad. Actually, she’s kind of cute. Short hair suits her but imagining her having a long hair seems better. She is also sexy, and her body can be compared to a ramp model. Her curves are very obvious, and she has a good butt as well. Carlos can't help but to feel a desire growing inside of him, something that he shouldn't feel, especially that the
Mrs. Lopez and Alex went to her room to check for some clothes she could wear for tonight's event. Alex couldn't understand how her parents believed Carlos easily. She has been with her parents all her life and she realized that they don't know her that well. How can she change her identity that easily just because of a guy whom she just met? She's not even sure if Carlos has a girlfriend at the moment. All she knows is he is a playboy."How come your cabinet doesn't have any dress or blouses? I remember your granny always brings some for you whenever she visits." Alex's reverie was stopped by what her mom said. "Where did you put all those clothes?""I sent them away, Mom. You know I'm allergic to girly stuff. You are now like granny. I’m doubting now whether you really know me. Do you really believe that guy downstairs?" She asked."He seems nice to me, and he is very romantic. I really like him." Mrs. Lopez said with a sm
Alex acted to punch Carlos upon calling him a duck. "Do you want to die?""Haha! You're a cute duck. Is that enough? Are you happy now?" He continued laughing.Alex is becoming more and more confused each day, confused about how Carlos treats her. Sometimes he is sweet and sometimes he is a jerk. She is also confused about what she feels towards him. She finds him irritating but at the same time, she is happy to be spending time with him. He pisses her off many times, but she also finds this trait of him charming. She was certain about her identity in the past, but now, she is starting to have feelings of admiration to the opposite sex. She is starting to have feelings for Carlos.The dinner went smoothly. Carlos is a gentleman in front of Mr. and Mrs. Lopez. It's very obvious that the old couple are so happy to see them. They admire the supposed young couple in front of them. Although Alex doesn't feel comfortable, she pretended
Alex woke up the next day alone in her room. She was trying to remember what happened last night. She was sure Carlos slept beside her. She remembered cuddling each other to sleep but where is he now?She checked the clock on her bed side table. It says 9:43 a.m. It's a Sunday. Normally, she spends Sundays resting but today, she feels like she has all the energy to do any activity.She got in her bathroom after getting out from bed to take a shower. She wants to look fresh when she comes out from her room. Just the thought of spending this day with Carlos makes her feel excited. Now that she is sure about her feelings for the man, she would start acting like a real woman. Maybe it would take some time for her to get used to it.After taking a shower, she opened her wardrobe to look for clothes she can wear for today. All her clothes are men's clothing. Most of them are loose t-shirts, long shorts and jeans. She decided to choose s
She couldn't sleep that night. She couldn't understand what she feels. She is so mad at Carlos for not informing her about where he is or what he is doing. She is angry that he didn't even check on her. She knows how she can solve her problems. She just needs to call or send a message to Carlos first, but she couldn't give in to him. Sending a message or calling first would mean that she is admitting about her feelings for him. She never had this feeling before. She liked her ex-girlfriends and she maybe fell in love with some of them, but she never felt angry when they never sent her a message. She actually never cared if they pay attention to her or not.She was staring at her phone for many hours now, not knowing what to do. She hates herself for feeling like a fool thinking about someone who is maybe now feeling so relaxed and okay."Hello." She finally decided to call Carlos. The man answered the phone immediately with only a short
