Husband For Rent

“Unang una,” I said, looking up at Lexus, “We need to make it clear that this isn’t a real marriage, although we have to file our marriage legally, because this would be a hot topic. But still, it’s a temporary arrangement. Nothing more, nothing less. Anything that has to be compensated, just give me any kind of receipt,”
Lexus nodded, clearly in agreement. “Agreed.”
“Second,” I continued, my pen moving swiftly across the paper, “We each have our own space. No having a bed together. We’ll keep our distance, even though we’re technically ‘married.’” Tumango lang siya.
