Chapter 25
Aviena's POV
'What are you saying? Do you want to receive a punch?" I ask when we get in the car. He just pouted.
'That idiot, he wasn't even looking at your face. He's just looking at your boobs!" he exclaimed angrily.
"So what? He can't touch it anyway," I joked because I'm used to people looking at me like that. I wasn't comfortable with the way they look and I was often afraid of them but I tried to think that it was normal. That's just part of my job. And I hate myself for that. I know that it wasn't. That I should hate them for that.
"What?" When I looked at River, his face darkened. Irritation was also evident in his voice.
"Let it go, I don't know him at all," I said just because his face couldn't be painted.
'The fuck with that I'll fucking kill everyone who looks at you like you're some sex they should taste. Bullshit. " He was obviously not in a good mood so I tried to lighten the atmosphere between the two of us.
'What do you want to eat later? Should I cook your favorite?" I asked him
He ignored me so I couldn't avoid being pouty.
"Are you mad? Seriously, we just get in together once in a while but you're still angry," I said. We've only been reconciled for a few months, it looks like it will be ruined in just one day.
"Who wouldn't be angry, Aviena?" he asked with a glare given to me. It's like even talking to me, he's not really happy at all.
'What makes you angry? I don't understand why boys act like this? Boys always get mad when other boys mess with their girls but you actually fantasize and even watch porn to satisfy yourselves. "
We also stopped arguing because my shoot had already started. I just change my clothes in my tent before I go to the set.
I immediately saw River there. My lips quivered when I saw that he still had his own seat here on the set and right next to Direk Indigo. They seem like acquaintances too. I just bit my lip so hard before playing with my finger. For no apparent reason, I feel nervous right now. I'm not usually like this so I don't really understand myself now. I just sighed before I started acting.
River was watching like a king so I couldn't help but frown. That fucking idiot. He said that he was my assistant for today but it seems like everyone is still taking care of him. The staff was also very careful around him.
I just rolled my eyes because it seemed that he was so used to being treated like that, that he didn't even refuse.
Ever since everyone found out that we were married, they treated me special but now it's different. Everyone really seems to treat him with care.
I still can't help but rolled my eyes at him because he's just looking at me now.
I was trying to be serious with my work but I couldn't help but turn my eyes to where he was. He even raised an eyebrow at me when he heard me stutter in my lines. Direk did nothing but repeat it over and over again.
When it was over I went back to my seat but it was now close to River.
"You're lucky to have such a supportive boyfriend, Hija," Prod told me. I just smiled there and shrugged. It's just a break and there are more scenes to come so we were able to talk.
"I want some strawberry cheesecake," I said to River because he was quiet next to me now. Seems like he was thinking. I don't know if he's still angry until now.
"I want you to buy it," I said because some shops are nearby.
Some staff kept looking at me.
"Ma'am Vena, we'll just buy it," they said but I just smiled.
'No need. River can handle that," I said so they didn't do anything especially when River stood up to follow my order. Well, besides I want to annoy him. He's not talking with me so to make him say a word, I needed to do things like this. He also did nothing but give in to me.
He really did go. When he returned, all the crew had strawberry cheesecake.
'What about drinks? You buy food, but no drinks at all? " I asked so he looked at me before he stand up again just to buy me what I want. I just stared at his back away from me.
'There are drinks here, Ms. Vena. Sir probably tired now to go back and forth," they told me but I just smiled slightly at them.
River returned with drinks. He gave me my favorite strawberry.
'Anything you need? What else do you want?" he asked. It seems like a genuine question to me.
'Are you complaining?" I ask.
'I'm not. I just want to know what else you want," he said, slightly smiling at me so I couldn't avoid being pouty. It's hard to give him an order if he smiles at me like that.
'I can't eat. I'm holding this script," I said so he nodded.
'Is this one of the jobs of your PA?" he asked as he give me my strawberry cheesecake.
'Are you complaining?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him. He just shook his head.
"It's a job only for you," I said, before rolling my eyes at him. He didn't do anything but give me some strawberry cheesecake that he bought.
I had many more orders from him so some of them are looking at us. I tried to give him an errand secretly so that his reputation will not be damaged.
"We prepared dinner, we can eat together," Direk told us. Direk Indigo is a good Director so almost all the actors want to be included in the cast of his movies and teleseries.
'No, thank you, Mr. Cornel. We'll get going. My wife will actually cook for me." River even smiled before he said goodbye to Direk.
River and I left together. When I was in the car, I just gave him an errand. His assistant career is not over today.
'I think about what you said earlier and you're right. Boys are trash."
'Yup. Including you. " I nodded so I raised an eyebrow at him when he nodded as well. I don't know if he's joking or what.
"Including me," he nodded.
"So you watch porn?" I ask. People said that it's normal.
'I don't but I fantasize about you. A lot. " My lips parted there before glaring at him.
'See? You fucking idiot. You're just one of them! " I couldn't help but to roll my eyes at him so he nodded. But why do I seem shyer about it? I could feel the redness on my face because of him admitting it.
'When did that start?" I ask.
"When we first sleep together," he said with a smirk before averting his eyes. This idiot is so honest, huh?
We were both awkward until we got home. This brute didn't even hesitate to admit it. Simply saying.
When I was at home I was getting ready to cook for him. I was shocked to see him sitting on the countertop as he stared at me. I can't stop myself from grinning now that I've recovered from what he said.
"Don't tell me you even fantasies me even in this kitchen?" I asked him with a smile.
"What?" he asked, still frowning at me. I just laughed as I teased him but also immediately fell silent when he approached me.
I just found myself getting smitten by his kiss. This one really knows how to get me. We no longer realized that we're already doing things we were supposed not to do in the kitchen. We just found ourselves getting tired after that.
I gave him a glare when we were already finished.
'What? I'm just living my fantasies," he said laughing so I immediately pinched his side. He tried to stay away from me which he also couldn't.
After that, we just clean and then cooked again. He also helped me because maybe what else can he think about.
"You're so lazy when it comes to house chores but why do you like cooking?" he asked me.
"I love food!" He laughed softly because of what I said. But it was actually the truth. I love cartoons and food.
He was still staring at me so I frowned at him.
'I have already booked you an appointment to meet one of the famous cartoon animators here in the Philippines. You can learn from him if you really want to try learning it," he told me so I couldn't help but stop before looking at him.
"Really?" I asked incredulously.
"Is it Morgan?" I ask. He nodded so I couldn't help but hug him.
'I like him a lot!" I almost jumped with joy so he just fickles my forehead.
'You can't like him. He already has a girlfriend," he said so I couldn't help but laugh there.
'I like his work a lot. I mean," I said, glaring at him before squatting just to fickle his forehead too.
"Clarify it then," he said, still laughing before he touched my waist. I just laughed at him too.
"Thank you…" I said while looking at him.
'That's nothing. Anything you want," he said before kissing me on the forehead.
'What about a chef? Do you want to meet someone for you to learn different dishes?" he asked me so I just shook my head.
"No need for that. That's just a hobby to me, "I said with a smile.
It seems like River and I was actually getting really close with each other these days and it's not that bad. I'd rather be like this than just for us to treat each other like the wind. Someone you don't pay attention to.
After we ate, I took a shower and was ready to binge-watch scooby doo when River called me.
'We'll be going to the cinema today. I bought us a ticket," he said so I looked at him.
'Huh? It's late! There are no open cinemas today! No one will come at this time!" I said and looked at the clock.
'Hmm, that's the reason why we'll go there this hour. People won't disturb you." My lips parted because of that.
"We can just watch it here!" I said. Well, I know that it was different when it was in the cinema but it was definitely expensive. I know no matter how much he buys things, he won't run out of money but even so! It's still a pity.
He hasn't even let me get dressed. I ended up wearing my stitch pajamas. Fortunately, it was a hoodie and long sleeve, so when I got to the cinema, I wasn't cold and I also had a face mask but it didn't seem to be needed anymore because there was really no one because we were the only two there. There are also meals at our place. We are still sitting in VIP. I couldn't help but smile on my lips when the movie started.
River just fell asleep. He doesn't really last even one movie. The smile on my lips spontaneously curved before my face approached him.
"Thank you, Mister," I whispered before kissing him on the lips.
