Chapter 5 Friendzone

• Chapter 5
• Nalzen
• We are going now to Paris. I'm excited at the same time nervous. I'd like to surprise Nathan.
• Hopefully, he is doing good.
• I miss him already, it's the first time that we are apart from each other.
• And looking at the man beside me makes me happy too.
• Am I cheating?
• I guess not physically, but I think I have sinned mentally.
• But who would not fall for this handsome hot guy, like Aaron?
• But he is very quiet recently. And I felt like he is avoiding me.
• But why?
• He is peacefully sleeping. I thought that he will feel excited that we are going to Paris, but his expression is blank, and I don't know what he is thinking.
• Just think for a better future, Nalzen.
• Two months will easily pass.
• And Aaron will be out of your life after that.
• Thinking about all of these makes me sad and worried.
• Why do I feel like this?
• I just shake off those thoughts.
• And sleep with so many rambled questions on my mind.
• ******************
• We finally landed.
• Hello Paris!
• And same as usual. This place is beautiful and perfect for a couple like us having our honeymoon.
• There's no couple Nalzen.
• I almost forgot again...
• "Aaron, what do you think. Isn't it beautiful?" I asked him happily while gesturing my hands on the beautiful surroundings.
• "Yes, beautiful." He answered.
• I think he is still tired or having some jet-lagged?
• "Do you have a problem?" Finally, I can ask him.
• "No, maybe I'm tired. My head is aching."
• "Then let's go to our private suite then. So that you can sleep and relax." I told him.
• Our honeymoon suite is stunning and looks expensive.
• I just can't believe that Uncle Alberto would give me a wedding gift.
• I just hope that he is not pretending to be kind.
• He is still my Daddy's Brother. We are purely blood-related
• And hoping that his intentions are genuine without hidden agenda.
• I decided to visit Nathan the day after. Aaron looks unwell, and I don't like to go alone. I want to bring him so that he can visit Germany too.
• We went to Eiffel Tower. And took 674 steps to the second floor and ride a lift at the top of the tower.
• The view is amazing
• I miss traveling The honeymoon makes an excuse for me to travel again.
• Aaron is still quiet
• Wondering what happened to him?
• "Are you still not feeling well?" I broke the silence.
• He just sighed.
• "I'm okay." He answered.
• "Do you have a problem? You can share it with me."
• "No, come, let's enjoy the view." He finally smiled and offer his hand.
• We watched the view from the top while holding our hands.
• The tension that I am feeling right now is unexplainable.
• It's cold, but I'm sweating. And I felt like my body is trembling.
• Why do I feel like this?
• This is not right from the beginning.
• As long as I can control myself. I will.
• But could I?
• "Thank you for bringing me here, it's beautiful. Aaron said sincerely.
• "I'm glad that you like it. By the way, tomorrow we will go to Germany. I want you to come with me and enjoy the beautiful City." His facial expression changed.
• He doesn't look happy at all.
• But why?
• "You want to go there?" He asked seriously.
• "Yeah, and I want you to be there too. I answered.
• "But why? You want me to come with you while visiting your boyfriend. Isn't it too awkward?" He looked at me dangerously.
• What is happening to him?
• I guess he heard us that day.
• and Nica is talking about those red thin negligees.
• Oh my God! Did he hear it too?
• But I don't need to ask permission from him.
• Should I?
• "So, you heard me and Nica talking about that. Yeah, I will make a surprise visit to Nathan. And I didn't say I will bring you with me. You can enjoy your day shopping or whatever you like to do while I am away." I explained.
• He just gives me a fake and forced smile.
• "Yes, why not. I will surely enjoy that day. You don't have to worry, I just thought that you would bring me too, into his house. What's gotten into me! He just slaps his head, pretending as if he's done wrong.
• I looked at him in the eyes.
• He sounds jealous.
• Being a straightforward person. I cannot let it slide and ask him.
• "Aaron, do you like me?" I ask right straight into his eyes.
• He just looked at me without saying anything. Then he slowly walked towards me. I wanted to move backward, but my body won't cooperate and move forward.
• We are facing each other.
• Him, looking at me intently and passionately?
• He touches my face and stops at my lips.
• What in the world, he is doing?
• He is teasing and tempting me.
• But of course, I will not give in.
• I'm freezing and felt like my feet froze and hardened.
• Icannot move at all!
• And I can't take away my gaze at him.
• I am looking into his eyes and don't know what to do.
• "We met at the wrong time and in a wrong situation. You have a boyfriend and I love my fiancée. You have nothing to worry about. I like you and it needs to stop. It will remain like that, a memory of me being a husband for rent."
• He touched my hair and smiled at me.
• I don't know how to react?
• does he already have afiancée?
• And he loves her...
• I felt like crying, but there were no tears.
• I felt ashamed!
• What did you do, Nalzen?
• You both know that it's a contract and a fake marriage, there's nothing more.
• Well, let's just laugh it all. The most embarrassing moment of my life.
• "Thankfully! I felt relieved. Don't worry, in two months Uncle Alberto will turn over the company to me. Rest assured that during that days. You will enjoy the benefits that you deserve." I answered, feeling relieved. It's hard to pretend that I'm okay, but I need to.
• And I don't know why my heart is very heavy.
• He just smirks at me. This signature smirk of him that every girl would surely fall.
• "Let's start from the beginning. Let's be friends while enjoying our two months together if this is okay with you?" He asked.
• Why not? It's much better to stay away from any temptation. Being friends Is the best thing to do.
• "Sure! Let me introduce myself first. Hello, I am Nalzen Villarreal." Then I offered him my hand to shake.
• He accepted it.
• "Aaron Montgomery, nice meeting you." He answered happily.
• We should clear things out. Now my heart feels light.
• There was never us from the very beginning.
• But at least we can be friends.
• And I will treasure this moment being with him.
• As a friend...
• The question is.
• Can we manage ourselves to stay away from the seven deadly sins?
• And one of them is...
• Lust.
