Fake marriage

Zephaniah🌙

I woke up feeling pain in my neck. It was probably caused by me sleeping sitting up with my head on the bed.

I looked around, there was no Gray in the room so I stood up.

Don't you dare...touching me..you're not my wife!

I suddenly remembered what he told me earlier.

What does he mean?

I was stunned when the door opened, Gray. It's just home, it has no school today because it's Sunday.

"Grey..."

I called but he didn't even look at me.

"Let's go to him, Mommy." I said.

"Here you go." we answered together and took something from the drawer.

"You're not coming?" I will ask.

"I'm tired." answered it and went out.

I took a deep breath.

I just went downstairs and caught up with Mother Amelia who was cooking our lunch.

It's good to be twelve.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee or milk?" it asked.

"Just coffee." I answered and he smiled at me and he made me feel good.

"Ma'am, I'm going grocery shopping. Are you going with someone?" this question stopped me.

"Can I come along?" I asked, it looks like I'm not going to visit Mommy first because I'm sure she'll wonder why I'm not with Gray.

"It's okay, Ma'am." this answer made me nod.

I went back to the room and put on a blazer even though I was only wearing pajamas and a T-shirt, I fixed my hair and took my bag and went downstairs.

"Mahal..."

I couldn't finish what I was going to say because he didn't seem to care.

Mom and I got into this called Taxi, we have a car here but I don't know how to drive.

"I thought you were coming home this Sunday?" Mother Amy asked me.

"Not now, Gray is tired now." I answered and faked a smile.

Mother Amy did not answer and looked outside.

After we arrived at the Mall, I immediately pulled a cart and we went around.

I was in the meat shop while Mom was in the vegetable section when someone approached me.

"Zephaniah!" it called me and I looked at it.

Dark!

Grayson's brother.

"What are you doing here?" it asked.

"I just went with Mom Amelia to go grocery shopping, you?" I will ask.

"Mommy took me shopping." he said to my surprise, Mommy Beatrix was there.

"Wait, there he is." pointed at Mommy Beatrix who was busy choosing vegetables.

He invited me to come to Mommy and I followed.

"Mom." he called and turned to us.

"Zeph, you're here? Who's with you, huh?" this is my question.

"Mother Amelia and I are shopping, because the stock at home has run out." my answer.

"Aren't you with your wife?" he asked and looked around.

"He's at home..he's tired because of the amount of work he did on weekdays." I just answered.

"But you should still be accompanied." he answered and I just smiled and I saw Daddy Toni approaching us so I immediately bowed.

"Oh you're here, Grayson?" it asked.

"I'm your eldest, Anton! His wife didn't accompany him." Mommy said annoyed and I saw Daddy shaking his head as if he was disappointed with Gray. It's gone!

After we finished shopping, Mommy offered to take us home and I would have refused because our house is far from theirs if they would have taken us, but Daddy Toni said that there was nothing I could do.

Dark is next to me now while Mommy is in front.

"I really hate your wife!" Mommy said annoyed that I was her daughter and Gray was her son-in-law.

Dark and I looked at each other and both laughed and shook our heads.

"Oh, tell nasi to prepare his ear." Dark said softly to me, laughing.

I did what he said but my phone wasn't in my bag so I turned to Dark.

"I don't have my phone, I left it at home." I answered and he handed me his phone but when I texted him it suddenly went dead. shock!

"I'm sorry!" he said scratching his head so I just shook my head.

After we arrived at the house, Dark immediately helped us take out the things we bought and Mommy rang the doorbell one after the other and after a while Gray looked up and was obviously surprised.

It came down and met us.

"Ma.." he said while kissing Mommy's cheek and he hugged Daddy Toni.

"Why didn't you accompany Zeph? You know he doesn't know how to drive and you just let him go grocery shopping with Manang Amelia." Mommy's sermon and Gray didn't answer and he just helped us with our shopping.

When we entered, he suddenly spoke. "Did you do this on purpose?" he said annoyed which surprised me. "Are you happy now?" he said and annoyed leading me to walk.

What is his problem?

We put what we bought in the kitchen and Mom Amelia started preparing food because this is where they will have lunch.

While we were in the dining room, I was quiet.

"Yes, by the way, it took me a while to ask you. When are you going to give birth?" Dad asked, so I looked up and saw Gray's expression.

"We haven't talked about that yet, Dad." it said.

"Why not yet? Grayson, you've been married for three years." it said annoyed.

"That's already a couple, and besides, Niah doesn't want that either, right Niah!" he said with emphasis on his words so I stopped and turned to them and waited for my answer.

"O-opo.. we're only twenty three.. maybe next year." I just answered so they don't ask anymore. I saw this smile that I didn't want to see.

"Okay, okay. But hurry up, I want grandchildren." Mommy said to us and I just nodded.

After Mommy and Daddy left, Gray came in first.

"I thought you were going home today?" this annoyed question.

"Next time, Gray. They'll just wonder why I'm not with you." I promised that he combed his hair.

"So, it's my fault?" he asked as if he was bored to see me.

"I'm not saying anything, Gray!" I said that he just shook his head as if he really didn't care what I said.

"Up to you!" he said and got annoyed going up.

Immediately I felt a hand caressing my back.

"N-Mom..." I said trying to steady my voice but I was disappointed.

"Leave him alone, Ma'am." he said to calm myself down but it didn't seem to reduce my anger at all. For almost three years he has been like that to me, as if he is not a wife.

Mom took me to our Garden and I felt a little better when I saw the flowers she planted.

"You know when I remember my son I hang out here, because my sadness is relieved because he loves flowers." he said so I smiled. Mother Amelia's son is in the states working as a civil engineer.

Mother Amelia is the type of person who even though she doesn't need to work because her children's lives are good, she still does, the reason for this is that she doesn't want to leave me.

What about me, maybe I will always cry in a corner because of my husband.

"Yes, by the way, I'm going on leave next week. My son is coming, he said he's on vacation here in the Philippines. I want---"

"It's okay. Go ahead, go see your son." I said smiling and he held my hand.

"Don't cry, ha. I'm only here for a week." Mom joked that I laughed softly.

"Sure, I can do it. It's been three years, maybe I'm used to it." I answered and he just nodded.

In the evening, I entered my room and as it happened last night, he left again.

I sat on the edge of the bed. "Are you leaving?" I asked bitterly and he stopped what he was doing and finally he looked at me but I heard no answer but a sigh.

"Do you love me, Gray?" I will ask. "Oh.. I-I'm wrong...r-right?" I added and he looked at me.

"Believe me, Niah. I don't want to be like you either. But, you know my reason." he answered looking straight at me.

"Was I stupid for agreeing to marry you even though I know you don't love me?" I asked and he answered and he seemed to be annoyed with me.

"You know...there's no point in our conversation!" he said and left me.

"I-I love you, Gray!" I said weakly.

"I know...that's why I'm even more annoyed with you, because I feel like you took advantage of our parents' wishes for us to get married." this is the answer.

"As long as possible I don't want to see you or talk to you, because I don't want to say bad things to you because I still think that you have become my best friend..." he added and he left me and I just cried.

𝗡𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻

I'm on my way to my friend's Bar in Las Pinas right now.

I remembered the look of Niah earlier while I was talking to her, so I didn't want to look at her because I might not be able to handle it.

She's my childhood bestfriend after all, I can't change that. I don't want to hurt him, but if that's the only way to get away from me, I'll do it.

All of this wouldn't have happened if they didn't reconcile with us. Niah and I were fine then. It's very okay. We can't really be because I love someone else and that's his cousin Angelica.

We were getting along well then and I was about to court him but Daddy didn't agree because what he wanted was Niah.

He is currently in the states because his parents brought him because they found out that we both like each other.

That's what Niah doesn't know, our parents don't want to tell her because it's certain that she will object and won't let Angelica and I get hurt, she'll only blame herself, but our parents are too selfish.

I didn't even waste time letting him know because I was sure that even if we both objected, there was nothing we could do.

Until I did something stupid that I didn't know how to explain to him or our family when they found out.

𝗕𝗔𝗥✨

As soon as I entered inside, I immediately heard a deafening ringing until I saw Kalix waving at me sitting not far from me.

I immediately approached him and shook his hand.

"It's been a long time, pre." he said as he handed me a glass and I sat in front of him.

"Josh?" I asked looking around.

"Don't ask, it's buried." he said and shook his head.

"How are you, Zeph?" he asked while taking a sip of his glass.

"In house." I just answered.

"Still not, okay?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Why don't you just divorce him, after all, you don't really like him as--ay...sorry." he said while patting his mouth.

I took a deep breath. Yes, Niah is not really my wife. The one who married us was not a real priest, because I enlisted the help of my friends who also have a strong influence.

They made our marriage fake without their knowledge.

"But, pre. I just want to ask you, huh. Aren't you sorry for what you did to Zeph?" he asked and I bit my lip because I couldn't answer.

"I'm sure you'll feel sorry for me, three years, Gray. We only helped you because you said you'd find a way to tell Zeph right away, I just feel sorry for her. She's too kind of a girl to be hurt like that." he said and I was stunned because he was right, I can't hide the truth from Niah forever. I will hurt him too much.

We spent a few hours at the Bar before I said goodbye to go home.

"Alright, pre. Be careful!" he shouted and I went out.

𝗔𝗔𝗔𝗔𝗔𝗔𝗔𝗔✨

After I got home, I found Mother Amelia working in the kitchen.

"Mom." I call

He turned to me and I saw that he was holding a basin and bimpo.

"Ma'am suddenly developed a fever, Sir." it said.

"It's just me, Mom. Rest now." I said and didn't act immediately so I smiled and Mom just smiled at me.

"It's up to you, huh." he said and I took the basin and bimpo and went up.

I saw there were medicines on the table next to our bed.

I immediately felt his forehead and he was very hot, he must have been emotional earlier.

This is what always happens when he gets emotional, his body can't handle it.

"G-Gray..." I heard him call me and I turned to him.

"T-Thank you...love.." he said while closing his eyes.

I took a deep breath and looked at the picture of our fake wedding.

I laughed remembering what happened that day. He almost cried when he didn't see the ring he dropped that he was going to wear on me.

I'm trying to get him to stay because the people around us are laughing. It's good that he saw it immediately so he stopped crying.

I got up and changed my clothes and after getting dressed I took a comforter and lay down on the couch and slept.

I was preparing now for my work because we had an early meeting with Mr. Salcedo! One of the big assets on my business.

"Hmm..." Niah muttered softly as I turned to her, I came closer and touched her forehead. She was still a bit hot so I called Mom Amelia.

"What's that Gray?" Mom asked me, turning to Niah.

"Niah is still hot, you take care of her first, because I have a meeting at 8:00 o'clock." I said to him and he nodded.

"Alright, I'll take care of it." he said and I went down first.

_____________

I'm on a flight now and there's a lot of traffic even though it's very early.

I immediately texted my secretary that I might be late for a few minutes and that he would take care of Mr. Salcedo.

I immediately started my car when it turned on the green light, but because I was unlucky today, I crashed into another car.

My car sustained so much damage that I got down angrily.

I immediately knocked on the driver's window and because it was tinted I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

"Hey!" I shouted and he slowly lowered the window and looked at me.

I was stunned to see who it was.

Angelica...

He immediately bit his lip and made a peace sign.

Traffic enforcers came with us but I said it's okay and I know the person I bumped into so they left.

Angelica came down embarrassed.

"Sorry...it's you..." he said.

"Shh." I just answered and looked at my car with a broken windshield.

"I'm really sorry...I'll fix it, I promise..." he said and I shook my head.

"It's OK." I answered and looked at him.

We didn't see each other for almost three years. I miss her.

"Will you just stare at me, Grayson?" he asked and shook his hand.

"Sorry, but I'll go first, I have a...meeting." my answer.

"Uh..okay..okay, bye!" he said and I got into my car and hurried to my office.

______________

After the meeting

"Well, congratulations Mr. Montero!" he said and shook my hand.

When we left the conference room, I looked at my phone because I heard it ring earlier, but it was an unknown number, so I silenced it.

I read the message, from an unknown number.

⌫ Hi, sorry about what happened earlier. Let's meet so I can pay for my damage.--Anj♡︎

Anj?? It's Angelica.

I took a deep breath before answering Angelica.

⌫ Sorry. I still have a lot to do. Maybe, next time.

I reply. I don't know what to feel. I really want to agree but I hesitate.

I called Kalix first because I was going to get my car fixed first.

"What happened tol?" He laughed when he saw my car.

"Crash.." I replied sparingly.

"Huh? To whom? Why didn't you pay for the damage, the amount you will have to pay here." he said while looking at my car.

"There is a discount, right?" I asked laughing.

"Ogag! How lucky you are! No way, hahahaha." he said so I just shook my head.

"Okay, I'll call my staff here to bring your car to the shop." he said and nodded.

"Angelica is back." I said and Kalix spilled the coffee he was drinking so I shook my head

"That's not a good joke tol!" he said as he reached for a tissue and wiped it on him.

"Seriously." my answer.

"Okay then.. that's it, how about Niah? Even if your marriage is not real, it's still wrong.. in the eyes of your family you and I are married." he said so I threw a tissue at him.

"I said he came back, you already said as much." my answer.

"It's well known. You love Angelica, and you're sure to be tempted to meet her, especially since she knows you like her and she likes you too." it said.

"Don't add to your sin.. if you don't want your family to be angry with you, especially Zeph's family, just stand by your fake marriage." it said that I shook my head.

Can not. No matter what happens, I can tell him everything.

𝗔𝗔 𝗕𝗔𝗔𝗔𝗔

It was late when I got home because Kalix and I had a good time talking.

"Love..." Niah greeted me happily.

He seems to be doing well.

"Are you okay?" I will ask.

"Yes, Love...by the way, we have a special visitor tonight." he said and I frowned.

"Who?" I asked as I entered and saw Mother Amelia preparing food and Angelica was there smiling at me.

"Anj.." I said softly.

"Oh right.. he just came home yesterday, he came straight here because he said he misses me." it said and pulled me away.

"Hi, Grayson!" it said that I looked away.

"Hey. You're ugly.." I heard Niah say as I stared at her.

"Maybe she's just tired, or maybe something happened earlier..." Angelica said to Niah.

"Tss. That's really it, wait. I cooked your favorite cupcake.. just stay there." it says..

"Take your time, cuz.." he said with a sweet smile.

We stared at each other.

"Long time no see, Gray.. or should I say, Baby?" he said with a soft laugh.

"What are you doing here?" I will ask.

"I miss you!" he said and I was about to speak when he kissed me. WTH.

"What the hell, Angelica?!" I said annoyed and looked around.

"You're wife is busy, Gray." he said while pressing my lips again.

I heard a loud crash so I turned to the kitchen but we didn't see anything.

Angelica has settled down and even me.

He reached for his wipes..

"You have lipstick, Babe!" he said and I immediately took it and wiped it.

After a while, Mother Amelia came out with the cupcake that Niah had baked.

"𝘗𝗘𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝘁𝘁𝘁𝘁𝘀!" said Mom with emphasis on her words and also looked at me, Mom seemed to see something.

"Thank you, Nanny" Angelica said smiling and smiled at me.

I heard Mom's squealing so I just shook my he

Mother Amelia immediately came to me and held my burnt hand.

"A-Are you okay?" it's a worried question.

I looked at him and suddenly tears came to my eyes..

"Sshh. Zeph, hold on. Okay.."

"N-Okay.." I said weakly.

"A-What am I going to do.." I asked sobbing while looking at my red hand from the burn I got earlier.

I don't know what hurts more, my hand or the one I saw earlier.

Angelica kissed Gray..and he didn't even object..Why?

"Sshh. Hold on..." he said while hugging me.

"N-Wow!" I just kept crying so Mom hugged me.

After Mom put medicine on my hand, I smiled bitterly.

"I-I hope you can cure the pain I'm feeling right now..." I said weakly.

"Hey, how can I leave you if you don't know how to fight, fight for your rights, no matter what happens you must fight for Gray against any poor woman because you are his wife." said Mom to which I nodded.

That's right, no matter what happens, she is my wife and their kiss earlier will not change that.

When I entered the room, Gray was lying down while talking on his cell phone.

I also laid down and fixed my blanket.

"What happened to your hand?" he suddenly asked when he saw that I had a bandage on my hand, which my mother had put on earlier because the burn on my hand had grown.

"N-It just got burnt a while ago..." I answered.

"You're not careful." he said and I bowed down but he pulled my hand and removed the bandage from my hand.

"Don't put the burn like that, it will get worse." he said and blew it after he left and he stood up and took something from our drawer and it was an ointment.

He sat in front of me and took my hand and slowly put ointment on the burn.

"T-Thank you, Love." I said and looked at me.

"Put it on every day to make it disappear immediately." he said and I nodded.

It went to bed and I did the same, but I couldn't sleep.

I still remember what I saw earlier..

My first and last kiss with Gray was when we were just married.. Angelica's luck, I was very jealous...

I just closed my eyes and waited for sleep to pull me over.

_______________

Open

I woke up early and helped Mom cook breakfast.

"How's your hand?" Mom asked.

"It doesn't hurt too much anymore, Gray treated it last night." I said and Mom smiled at me and she started eating rice..

I cooked the hotdogs, bacon and eggs but why does something seem wrong... I think I toasted...

"Jusme...that's on fire Zeph.." Mom said so I scratched my head.

"It's not burnt, Mom...it's just toasted!" I said and he shook his head.

"Reprimand you, okay, I'll cook again, I'll take care of that." he said and I just snorted.

It's just that Mom didn't finish what she was doing when Gray came down and took a shower right away.

It's gone, there's no dish yet...

"Good morning..." Gray greeted but stopped when he noticed that I was nervous.

"Wait a minute, Gray.. there is no such dish yet.." said Mom and showed the charred dish that I cooked.

"Sorry.." I said.

"Alright...that's okay.." he said and scratched at what he said..

I bowed while serving it to him.

He tasted it and bowed while holding his head while looking at me.

"Next time..don't try to cook, again.." he said calmly but he still ate so I smiled..

After he ate, I immediately fixed his neck tie and he was about to stop it but I just smiled and continued.

"What time are you coming home later?" I will ask..

"It's late..." he answered briefly but I could feel him staring at me...

I nodded. "Okay, be careful. I love you!" I said and kissed her cheek and smiled.

"Alright, I'm leaving.." he said and suddenly he kissed my forehead.

"Thanks for the breakfast, Niah." he said and I bit my lip and left.

I turned to Mom and we immediately said okay.

My phone rang and it was my mommy.

"Hello Mom, how are you?" I will ask.

"Hello hija, your Daddy and I are fine here, are you? How are you and Gray doing there?" Mommy asked me.

"We're fine.." I answered..

"By the way, Angelica is back, she's asking for a Vacation at our resort, you two come with her." he said and I was silent because I remembered what happened last night.

"Zeph?" Mom called so I stood up straight and calmed myself down.

"Alright..I'll tell Gray.." I answered and Mom said okay.

𝑨𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒌

Mommy and Aunt Beth and I are at the resort with Gray's family.

I arrange the things we brought to the room where we will sleep.

Gray came to me and took his things and put them in the closet.

"Mahal." I call here even though I don't know what to say, I don't know. I just want to call him love everyday and forever.

"Faster, they're waiting outside." he said and took my other things and put them in the closet so I smiled.

After we finished cleaning, we went out and met Angelica.

I remembered what happened last week at home. I forced myself to give up because I will make sure that it will be the first and last thing that happens. I don't know how but I will do everything.

I immediately put my hand on Gray's arm so his face immediately changed.

"L-Let's go, there are foods already." he said and I just nodded and looked at Gray with a smile, I could see the surprise on his face but I just let it go.

"Let's go!" I said and pulled him away.

When we arrived at the big hut on the beach, I immediately said hi to Aunt Beth.

"You two sit down." Mommy said to us and I sat next to Gray, I was on the right and Angelica was on her left.

We started eating but I put food on Gray's plate first so he turned to me.

"It's me..." he said weakly.

"No, it's me. What do you want, Love?" I asked here and he noticed that our parents were looking at us and it was just like that.

"It's up to you." he answered so I smiled and spooned it.

"Oh, you're sweet to your wife, Zeph, that's how it should be." Aunt Beth said with a smile.

"You?" I suddenly asked Angelica so she was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Would you like me too? We haven't seen each other for a long time." I said and he nodded so I immediately took his plate.

"Eat well." I said smiling as I placed his plate in front of him.

"Thank you!" he answered and we started eating.

After we ate, Mommy's maids prepared what we ate and they ate, Mom is not here now because her son is coming from the states.

🦋

"Whoa!"

"Aacckk!" I screamed because of my surprise and I was still covered in my chest, I immediately turned to see who surprised me and it was Dark.

"It's just you!" I said hitting it lightly.

"Oh that's terrible, sadist!" he said laughing.

"Hey, there's your OA!" I said and left him but he followed me.

"Woi, wait a minute!" I heard him shout so I looked at him but I was surprised to see that he had a camera in his hand and was pointing at me.

"Nice!" he said smiling while looking at his camera.

"Whoa, what's that?" I shouted.

"Hahahaha it's just an extra collection, don't worry brother!" he said so I frowned at him.

"Smile!" I heard it scream.

"I don't want it, find someone else!" I shouted.

"Tss. Okay, I'll just look for someone tall and sexy and above all beautiful... Angelica is the only one!" he said so I frowned even more.

"Is she really beautiful?" I asked it and it stopped.

Is that why Gray wants to kiss Angge more than me?

"Hey. Are you alright?" it asked.

"No! TAKE CARE OF IT!" I said here and left him scratching his head.

I immediately looked for Gray but he was nowhere to be found.

I met Mommy Beatrix and she is the only one I will ask.

"Mom, have you seen Gray?" I will ask.

"No, check in your room, maybe you're resting." he said so I nodded and said goodbye.

I immediately went to our room but it was not there. where is he

The next thing I met was Dark.

"Have you seen Gray?" I ask here.

"Otol? He's talking to Angelica at the beach." he said so my eyes widened.

"When did you see them?" I will ask.

"A while ago. Ah, before we met earlier." he said so my forehead wrinkled in annoyance.

"Why didn't you tell me right away?"

"Well, it's time to ask." he said so annoyed that I left him. Bwisit, what are those two talking about just by themselves?

When I arrived at the beach, they weren't there.

It's getting dark and he's nowhere to be seen.

I just walked around and looked for Gray but he's still nowhere.

I've been walking for an hour but still nothing, so I decided to go home because he might be there but I was very surprised to see a snake crawling.

"Whoa!"

"Aacckk!" I screamed because of my surprise and I was still covered in my chest, I immediately turned to see who surprised me and it was Dark.

"It's just you!" I said hitting it lightly.

"Oh that's terrible, sadist!" he said laughing.

I just walked around and looked for Gray but he's still nowhere.

I've been walking for an hour but still nothing, so I decided to go home because he might be there but I was very surprised to see a snake crawling.

I was about to run but he immediately hit me so I immediately screamed.

"G--Graaaaay!" I shouted.

After a while, I saw a flashlight floating east.. no.. there was someone!

"T-help me, please."

"N-Niah?"

"G-Gray..."

He immediately came to me and looked at my wound.

"I was bitten by a snake..." I cried.

"What are you doing here, huh?" He said annoyed and he picked me up and we looked for a place to sit properly.

We saw a big tree that had been cut down, so he made me sit there and knelt down in front of me and held my injured leg.

He immediately felt in his pocket and seemed to be looking for something and his car keys with a small knife.

I pulled my leg a little in fear.

"L-love...what is that?"

"Sshh. Don't mess up, that snake might be poisonous." he said so I immediately closed my eyes.

I just felt like it was slowly slicing and squeezing hard.

"G-Graaaay..."

"Ssshhh.." he said as he came closer to me and touched my mouth.

He immediately took his handkerchief tied to my leg.

"That's okay." he said and looked at me for a while.

"Let's go?" he said and I shook my head..

"Let's go." he said turning his back on me while sitting as if he was saying I'm going to take a piggy ride.

"Tss. I'm heavy, Love." I said here.

"I know, so get in there. Hold on tight." he said and I just nodded and smiled while sniffing its smell.

After we arrived at the resort, they were all there waiting for us.

"Where are you wearing that kid!" Mommy asked me worriedly.

"What happened huh?" he asked Gray.

"He was bitten by a snake but I already bled." He told Mommy but they also called the Medic to make sure there was no poison.

I woke up feeling sick to my stomach.

I looked to my side and Gray was gone.

I immediately stood up and checked the time, it was eleven o'clock.

I left the room and walked around, my eyes were also looking for Gray but I saw Dark, he was sitting outside while playing the guitar.

He turned around when he felt me looking at him.

"Oh, brother. You're still awake!" he said and I just smiled.

"I just forgot, because I'm hungry." I answered and stood up.

"Because they put the food in the fridge, do you want me to warm you up?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Don't worry, I don't care...it's Gray you saw?" I asked and he frowned.

"Why, isn't it in your room?" it asked.

"Um...what, maybe I just didn't notice." I just answered and smiled here.

I went straight to the kitchen but I still couldn't get out of my mind where Gray was right now.

I don't know what came to my mind and I went to Angelica's room.

I was about to knock when I heard a soft laugh from Angelica.

My chest was pounding so hard that I put my ear to the door when suddenly there was a knock.

I turned to my side and saw Dark standing next to me seriously.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" I scolded but he still knocked.

"What the hell, Dark!" I said and pulled it..but the door opened and Angelica came out.

"W-Why?" he asked with a red face.

"Is Otol there?" Dark asked so directly that I hit him.

"What are you doing, huh?!" I softly whispered to him.

"W-nothing...why are you looking for him here...and what is he going to do here..."

"Ahh no, Dark is really bad, go to sleep." I said and pulled Dark away.

"Oh well." he said pulling his arm.

"Are you crazy, why did you tell Angge that?"

"Oh why, you. What were you doing earlier that seemed to be listening to what was inside, why? Is my twin doing something strange to you?" he asked and I didn't immediately answer.

"What...no..it's nothing...alright, I'm going to the room" I said and opened the door but he just pulled me.

"W-Why?" I will ask.

"Are you crazy? I thought you were coming into the room?" he asked so I nodded.

"Why are you going to the bathroom?" he said so I looked again at the one I was about to enter earlier and it was the bathroom, annoying.

"What are you doing there?"

We both turned to the voice that spoke and it was Gray.

He was seriously looking at our daughter.

"Where are you from, Bro?" asked Dark.

"Outside, just getting some air." this is the answer.

"Are you sure? I was outside a while ago, I didn't notice you." he replied so I elbowed him weakly.

"Um..love, because we were looking for you." I said and came here.

Look at me.

"Why are you still awake?" it asked.

"Because I was distracted, Love. I was hungry." I said and he nodded.

"Alright, I'll leave you guys." Dark said so I was afraid to punch him but secretly because I didn't want Gray to see but Dark just laughed, hey.
