He only married me to show her that he already moved on Chapter 18 - Eighteen: From lunch meeting to spying his Ex-girlfriend

"Bye, Sandy."

I smiled as I kiss her cheek.

"Bitch!"

I laughed at her reaction. 

I know how she feels right now. And I'm sure she's going to cut all my hair after this.

I followed Mr. Wilsons at the elevator. As usual, I need to use my athletic side just to match his giant steps.

"So, where is this meeting, Sir?"

He looked down at me in his serious face but didn't say anything.

-'Okay, Thank you. Got it Madi. He's not in the mood. So, don't waste your saliva by talking to this grumpy man.'- 

I just silently talked to myself.

Until we stepped out from the elevator and we reached his car, I didn't hear any comment or word from him.

"Passenger side."

"Huh?" I asked him confused.

"I said passenger side. Hope in!"

Wow! what happened again to him? He can't even form a complete sentence? What happened to his mood? He's being playful this morning and suddenly became cold and grumpy again? Tsk.tsk.tsk. old habits are hard to die.

It's been twenty minutes of us in the car with him on the driver side.. but he just keep on driving. I really feel bored and hungry. I want to ask him and form any conversation but he seemed so serious.. so I focussed my eyes on the front.

But five minutes passed, I noticed a red car not so far in front of us. What's this, we have the same way?

When it turned right to the stoplight, we also turned in the same direction. I glanced at him and back to the car.

"Are you following that red car?" 

I can't help not voiced out. Why? Because I can feel my friends inside of my stomach, they were growling and crying. -'feed us Madi'-

But as like earlier, I also didn't get any response.

"It's a simple question answerable by a yes or a no. Are you following that------"

"Yes! We're following that car! Happy?" he shouted at me annoyed.

I didn't expect this kind of answer from him. Does he really need to shout at me?

And what did he ask--happy? How could I be happy... I am so hungry! 

I inhaled deeply. 

'-Come on, Madi.. relax. Maybe he's just suffering from his mental illness or dysmenorrhea.'- 

Haha.. since when does a man suffered from dysmenorrhea? Well.. not all of them, just this one who's sitting on the driver seat. I rolled my eyes. If only I could chop this man and put it on my stomach, I swear I did it from the first time my stomach growled.

-'Oh thank God!'-

I silently prayed when the freaking red car pulled over in front of the restaurant.

-'Maybe it's Mr. Enriquez.'-

I sighed at my thought.. but my eyes widened after seeing who is the freaking person..no..persons exited the car..

His ex and her boyfriend.

I can't believe that all this time, we we're just following none other than his 'great ex-fiancee and her super great boyfriend'.

"Wow! I thought it's a lunch meeting----" I stopped myself when I saw how much he's throwing daggers to the two. Oh.. your so lucky. If ever his looks could chop you into pieces, you're not able to enter in that restaurant.

I set aside the sudden pinched in my heart as I watched how he's been affected by the scene playing in front of him. But I tried to be the 'Madi' again this time. You know what's that mean.. being Madi, always strong and confident.

"So, they were the one you've been following all this time?"

"Yes, I've been following them! Can you just shut up for a while?"

Huh! He shouted me again! We're not in the office... meaning he's not my boss right now.

"You want me to shut up? Gabriel, how could I? I'm so hungry! You said it's a lunch meeting. How could a lunch meeting turned into spying your ex? Oh God! I wished you I can eat my lunch now with Sandy!"

See? I also know how to raise my voice.

"I'm sorry." he softened his voice as he looked at me.

I really arched my eyebrow and rolled my eyes on him. I don't care. My babies are now crying inside.

"I promise I'm gonna feed you, just this once... please?"

My whole body instantly turned towards him.

Did I hear him right? Please? Did he just mention 'please'?

"Did... did you..."

"What?" he asked waiting for my next word.

But I remember the last time when he first smiled at me and I asked him about it, he turned into being ice and zombie again.. so I hold back my tongue this time.

"Nothing. I mean.. didn't you feel hungry? They just entered the restaurant, for sure they're going to eat. Maybe you also want to go inside and sit on the table while your watching them and while I'm feeding my babies." 

"Feeding your babies?" 

"Ohh.. I mean.. my intestines! You know, the large and small intestines." and I smiled at him.. Bingo! He also smiled.

-'Oh God!'-

"Hmm.. what should I call this day? A miracle or a miracle or another miracle?" I said dreamily.

I didn't notice I asked it out loud.

He was about to exit the door when he heard me.

"What? What miracle?"

"Huh? Miracle?"

"You said miracle, miracle and another miracle. What's that?"

-'Ohh shit! Madi!'-

"Ohh.." I nervously chuckled. "Don't mind me, Sir. I'm just hungry." I waved my right hand in the air before I opened my car door.

I didn't hear the words that he muttered after I exited the car.

"Madi," he called my name when we are about to enter the restaurant.

I looked at him and was about to speak...

"Love."

"Ohh.. yes love." I smiled as I remember our situation. Yeah.. the real reason of this 'love' thing.

But a shiver ran down all my nerves when he held my hand and closed the distance between our fingers as we walked inside.

We were greeted by waiters and guided us to the vacant space. We spotted the table where his ex.. what was her name again? Ahh.. Stacey and her boyfriend Ray.

We seated on the table which just few steps away from them.

He continued to watch them as I tried my very best to choose the best food from the menu.

"Good afternoon Ma'am, good afternoon Sir.. may I take your order, please?"

"Hi, Ezra," I said smiling to the waiter.  His name was written on his nameplate. He also smiled at me. And wow-wow he has two cute dimples on his cheeks. I don't know but I'm very attracted to people who has dimples.

I continued to smile while I am giving him my orders. But when I looked to the person who caused my stomach growled, I realized that he's no longer glaring at the two love birds but to me. He's now glaring at me.

"Love, are you done?" I asked with a double meaning. But he just frowned. I turned back to the waiter who's just watching us. "Ahm, Ezra.. you can get now my orders, we will just call you if my boyfriend's ready to order." I smiled again.

"Wait!" his frowned got deeper as he gave his own order to the confused waiter. Why? Because I am in my all-out smile, while the grumpy head in front of me... almost eat him alive. 

When the poor waiter already out of our site, he started his grumpy speech.

"What was that?" his eyebrows almost touched each other.

"What?" 

"What do you mean if I'm done?"

"If are you done! If are you done glaring at the two or are you done from choosing your orders? But since you're done with both, just ignore it."

"And what was that smile? You're flirting with the waiter!" he whispered-yelled at me while his eyes were boring holes on my whole face.

-'flirting? What is this.. de Ja Vu?'-

"Flirting? Excuse me... 'love' i didn't flirt with that waiter." I emphasized the word love.

"Why did you know his name?"

And with that, I really laughed with his question.

"Is there something funny with my question?" 

he asked me in a serious tone but I just shake my head as continue laughing.

"De Ja Vu, love. Do you know what is de Ja Vu?" I laughed again. "This scene was already happened before. You said I was flirting with the waiter and you asked me how did I know his name.. and I will answer you, 'it's because his name was written on his nameplate."

I noticed his lips curled up into a smile and after a while, he also laughed with me. I wanted to stop and seize the moment because this is the first time he laughed together with me. But I know if I do, he will also stop and continue to being cold again, especially that we're in the same restaurant as his ex.

And as we laughed, we didn't notice that some people are now watching us, some with amus.e.m.e.nt in their eyes but some are irritation including the two people which was the reason why we're here.
