Husband for Rent R-18

Chapter 5 Friendzone



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.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

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.

I cannot 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 a fiancée?

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.
