CHAPTER 42: WHAT IS ‘P'?

"Girls, I'm fresh again." "Argh! Goodness!" I bite my bottom lip hard when I heard Gavin's voice.  I scratched my forehead as I gritted my teeth while Belle was really trying to control her laugh. "I think I need to go, it's getting late." I stand up and get my bag from the chair. "Huh? But what about me?" "Gavin, I'm 'P' i need to go home early, you know?" "Hmm? You're 'P'? Are you sure? You're not even consulting an OB-Gyne, how did you know?" I was left open-mouthed. I gritted my teeth and turned to Belle. "Belle, I swear if this ugly gay here, won't stop talking nonsense, I'll forget that his my bestfriend and I will kill him!" I balled my fists. "Oh my God! You called me ugly?" he asked faking his horrified look which just added to my irritation. He really made it a big deal of me calling him ugly than be threatened that I will forget him as my bestfriend and kill him. "Guys, you're starting again." Belle also stand up and get her bag. "Rian, is Alex's going to pick you up tonight?" "No. He said they have a late meeting with Dani." "Hmm.. okay." she nodded and walked with us to the door. "Do you already have your dress for the event?" "Uhm.. I have a lot of dress in my closet. I think I'm gonna choose one of them." "You want me to help you?" "Oh no, it's okay. Cari is there, she's always helping me with this kind of stuffs and event." "Okay, just text me if you need anything." "Thank you, Belle. I promise, I will." We are now in the elevator. I'm not sure if Gavin is listening to us because he's now busy with his cellphone. "By the way, is your husband's going to accompany you to this party?" "Oh.. i - I haven't asked him yet." "But why?" "He's busy." "Come on, Rian. No matter how busy he is, he would surely make a way to go with you. Maybe he's just waiting for you to ask him. I can see how your husband loves you, Rian." "Again?" I raised my eyebrow and looked at him suspiciously. "Are you really going to use the bathroom or you're just going to flirt with Craig?" "Jeez, woman! You just got 'P' and you suddenly became malicious?" "Huh! Me, malicious? Tsk. Tsk. Gavin Montero, I've known you for so long, that even the smell of your fart couldn't missed by my nose!" "Ohh..." he started to laugh including Belle beside me. We continued walking until we reached the parking lot outside the building. "Belle.." "Yup?" "I hope you can give Dani a chance." I turned to her seriously and take both of her hands. "A chance? What do you mean?" she asked me with confusion written on her face. "Get to know him. Be friends with him." I shrugged my shoulders. But she just laughed at me like I've said the funniest joke in front of her. "Be friends, Rian? I think that would only happen when pigs started to fly." "Tell him your past." "Rian, we already talked about this. That 'thing' would still remain in the past and no one will talk to him about this." "But Belle-----" "No. I don't need his pity, his sympathy," she said shaking her head. "And the 'friends thing' that you mentioned, actually I don't have problem with it. It's just your brother who doesn't want to befriend with his wife." A smile form on my lips. At least she considered herself as the 'wife' of my brother. Maybe there's still a chance. I am about to speak again when we both heard a car horn. And a new Lamborghini Veneno stopped a few meters away from us. Belle and I both have a raised eyebrow. "Wow! Lamborghini Veneno roadster?" I looked at Belle. "Do you know how many Lamborghini Veneno are only in the world?" "As in... in the world?" I asked curiously. "Yes." "No. Why?" "There's only nine units of it were made because it's too expensive. The first 8 units of them were sold and one remained at the factory. But now I think the last unit has been sold to--------your husband?"  I looked at her with a scrunched face. "What?" "Your husband bought the last unit!" "Huh?" "Look." And when I turned around, Alex just came out from the passenger seat and Mark, his driver from the driver seat. "Ohh.. I didn't know that," I said watching my husband walking towards us. He bought the last unit of this expensive car? "I thought you said he's in a meeting?" "Yeah, that's what he said." "What happened?" "Maybe they're already finished?" I answered not concentrating because I'm being distracted by the breathtaking smile of my husband. "Hi baby." he gave me a peck on my lips before he hugged me. And God, there's again his smell. If I could just live on his neck. "Hi Belle." "Helle Alex." they greeted each other. "How's your last practice, baby?" he put his arm in my lower back and kissed my forehead. "Well, we already memorized all the steps and we finally did it perfectly." "Good." he smiled again. "Oh, the husband is here. Hello, Mr. handsome husband?" We all turned around when we heard Gavin's echoing voice. Since I told Alex that Gavin is a gay and the reason of him why he's been being touchy and sweet to me, he already understand and accepted Gavin's situation. But it's totally different with Belle because she already found out the truth the moment we visited her in her office. So I don't need to explain everything to her because Gavin was the one who explained himself personally. "Hi, make sure you're not going to step on my wife's feet tomorrow night." he narrowed his eyes on him, but I know he's just joking. "Of course, Mr. handsome. Don't worry, I'll take care of her feet." The three of them laughed together, but I didn't find it funny so I just smiled a half. "Don't call him handsome!" I suddenly blurted out. "Why? Isn't your husband handsome?" Gavin asked me with his irritating smile. "I know, but I don't want others to call him handsome." "Oh.. jelly bean, are we? My God Rian, you're just 'P' and-------" maybe he suddenly realized what he was saying and he stopped. "P? What do you mean by P?" Alex asked moving his eyes to each one of us. "She's just going to 'pee' Alex. But she doesn't want to go back in my office." Belle explained. "What about in the lobby's bathroom?" he looked at me. "Uhm.. no, I'm okay. I'll just going to pee when we get home." I answered smiling and at the same time glaring with Gavin. "Are you sure, baby?" "Yeah, don't worry about me. I'm okay hubby. "I think we all should go home now. It's getting late and Rian here still needs to pee." Gavin found again his tongue. "Yeah, I agree," Belle said and kissed my cheek. "Goodnight Rian, Alex." "Goodnight Belle." I nodded and hugged her. "Goodnight Gavin." she also hugged Gavin. "Knock 'en dead." and she winked at us. "We will." Gavin and I said in unison. After saying our goodbyes, Gavin and Belle walked to where their car was parked. While I and Alex walked along hand in hand to his car, because Mark would be driving my car home.
