My Obsessive Husband

CHAPTER 1

TYRON was busy reading the report for the expansion of the Zapanta Hotel in New Zealand when his secretary entered his office. He didn't look up even though he knew he was already in front of his desk because he was busy with what he was doing.

"Yes?" He said without looking up.

"Sir, Mrs. Zapanta is in line four. She was persistent to talk to you."

He heaved a deep sigh and then he grabbed the cord of the telephone.

"Thanks, Lara." He said to his secretary before he answered the call.

He waited for his secretary to leave before answering the call.

"Good morning, mom." His voice greeted her cheerfully.

"Good morning to you too, son." The mother's voice was tinged with a smile. "Anyway, I was called because I wanted to ask you what date you will be coming home to Panggasinan for Christmas and New Year?"

He let out a deep breath. "Mommy, I'm busy. I can't go home, I'm doing a lot here at the office."

Ever since his father retired, he managed all their businesses. At the age of twenty three, the responsibility of managing their company was placed on his shoulders. his sister Kreiya did not want to help him. And then he and his wife Sky are on their honeymoon in Europe.

"Son, how are you? It's a holiday. Can't you take a day off?" There was sullenness in his voice. "Please child, our relatives from abroad will come and have a reunion because after ten years the whole family will be complete. Even your godmother Grace will come home to be with us for Christmas and the new year."

He rolled his eyes. "Mom, Grandma Grace is coming home because her husband just died and she has to leave. It has nothing to do with me."

"Son, don't say that." His mother scolded him. "Your godmother is not like that. We talked on the phone and they will be coming home on December 23. They will stay at our house."

his face was wrinkled. "They?"

"Yes. Her daughter is coming with her."

"Oh. Okay" He replied briefly.

"So, when are you coming home?"

He picked up the candle. He has reasons why he doesn't want to go home for Christmas. because he and his girlfriend, Careen, were talking about going to Boracay for Christmas and El Nido for New Year. He promises and he doesn't break a promise, but his family is the replacement.

"Son, are you going somewhere for Christmas?" his mother asked from the other line when he didn't speak.

He sighed again. "Mom, I have a plan with Careen." He didn't want to lie to his mother. "I promise to her that we're going to Boracay this Christmas and in El Nido for New Year."

the mother on the other line was speechless then she spoke, no emotion in her voice. "Okay. Have a happy holiday." After saying 'non' he cut the call.

His stomach hurt. Her mommy seems sullen because she won't be going to the reunion. he wants to but he has already made a promise to Careen.

"Hey, oh my." He leaned his back against the back of the swivel chair and closed his eyes. "I hope Mommy's sulk goes away soon." I wish.

He was restless so he called his mommy using his cell phone.

"Mom?" he said when he answered his call.

"Yes?" His voice was emotionless.

"I just want to explain why I can't go home-"

"No need." There was no emotion in his voice, he was clearly angry with her. "And if you called to find out if I was sulking, yes, I was sulking because you chose that girl over your family-"

"Mom, that girl has a name and her name is Careen."

"Please don't interfere. I still don't like her. I don't even know why you like her. she looks like a tramp! If you don't want me to sulk, go home, because if you don't, I won't kill you until I die!"

He looked at the cell phone screen when the mother on the other line disappeared. It looks really angry and sullen.

he was restless that his mother was sulking, so he called Careen.

"Hey, babe. Miss me?" Careen spoke softly to answer his call.

"Hey babe." He took a deep breath before speaking. "Babe, mom called."

"And?" There's haughtiness in her voice. same as her mom, she doesn't like her mother either. "Whatever he said, just please, make sure it's good to hear."

"She wants me to be with them this Christmas and New Year."

Silence reigned on the other line, a few seconds passed before he spoke.

"What are our plans for the Holiday?" This is a straight question. "Don't tell me you're going to change me at that reunion? That mommy of yours is always a villain!"

He was a little annoyed by what he said. Doesn't it make sense? "Babe, they are my Family. And she is my mom. don't talk to him like that. Please, understand. Only now will our family be complete after ten years-"

"Don't go home! Buwesit! Take care of your life!" He shouted and hung up. "Oh, by the way, let's break! Get fat! Get together with our villain!"

Shaking, he placed the cell phone on the table and sighed. Careen's behavior is not very good, especially when she doesn't get what she wants. And it's always 'let's break' its mouth when it doesn't follow what it wants. she had gotten used to his behavior because they had been dating for three years. Her screaming and breaking up with him is not new to him.

careen has been his girlfriend for three years and she's a psychologist, but sometimes, she doesn't act like a psychologist, she acts like an unprofessional person who doesn't understand people.

But her anger can't change his decision. he has to go home if his mommy doesn't really sulk. Then he will fix whatever problem he and his girlfriend have.

Raine's eyebrows went up when the pilot announced that the plane they were on was about to land. honestly speaking, he wanted to leave Canada but his Mommy forced him to go on vacation with them in the Philippines.

She knows that he brought her together because he didn't want her to be alone. Ever since her father died from Heart attack, she always feels alone. she was a Daddy's girl.

"Try to smile, Raine." His mommy said when the plane landed and the passengers got out one by one.

She forced a smile on her face. "Like this?" She will bet her life that it looks so fake.

Her mother grimaced. "How about a genuine smile?"

She rolled her eyes. "Mom, you can't force me to smile when there is no reason for me to smile."

"Son, smile. You might be mistaken for a snob." His mommy said while he was looking in the mirror and adjusting the make up on his face.

She smiled at that. His mommy still beats him when it comes to coloring his face. aside from face powder, lipstick and blush on, she doesn't put anything on her face. It's not that she doesn't want to, maybe she just got used to not using it, especially when she was with her Daddy.

when she was in grade school up to middle school, she was boyish and was once mistaken for a tomboy by her own mother. He only stopped suspecting that he was gay when High School came and he had a Boyfriend.

She gave out a deep sigh. "Mom, when are we going home?"

today is December twenty-three.

"We've just arrived, Raine." His mother let out a deep sigh, she seemed to have given up on him and stood up. He turned to her before walking away. "I will take care of the boxes and you'll take care of our luggage." he said, pointing to their luggage that was just above their seats.

She nodded grimly. Luggage. Argh!

"And, speak Tagalog." Her mom added then she walked out of the plane.

He nodded even though his Mommy didn't see it. It's not difficult to speak Tagalog. he lived that was the language they used inside the house. They only speak English when they are outside the house.

He took a few breaths before he took their bags from the luggage compartment. the first thing he slung over his shoulder was the sling bag that contained all his gadgets, the next thing he slung was his big backpack that contained his clothes, then he slung it over his other shoulder was his Gray sling bag that contains personal things likface powder, lipstick, etc.and lastly, the heaviest of all is their large luggage that is not on wheels. Good thing you can pull it.

When he got off the airplane, he immediately made his way to the exit. Of course, the bags have to be checked that's why he put everything they brought in the scanner.

after their bags came out from the scanner, he counted them. He frowned when he noticed that his black sling bag that contained all his gadgets was missing and it was replaced by a black sling bag that was also small. Her heart thumped in panic. No! My laptop!

she quickly looked around, when her eyes saw a woman walking towards the exit carrying a black sling bag the same size as hers, she turned to the Guard guarding the scanner.

"Please watch first, Sir. Someone else got my bag."

she frantically looked around to look for the woman who has her sling bag and when her eyes settled on her, she quickly ran between them. He doesn't care if he runs into someone or anything. her Laptop was in that bag and she will have it back by hook or by crook.

"Ma'am!" He shouted that the woman was only a few meters away from him but she didn't turn around. "Ma'am!"

he ran even faster and when he was so close, his body hit a hard lump and in an instant, he lost his balance and he only realized that he had fallen but instead of falling on the pavement, he looked down on the person he bumped into.

in a disoriented state, he didn't care to sit and look around.

Raine gasped when she saw the woman-with her sling bag-meters away from her. It was too far but he didn't care. He quickly stood up and chased the girl again. My laptop!

Tyron's lips were still swollen shut as he lay on the floor of the Airport. That girl! She crashed into him and she didn't even apologize! And what's even more annoying, the woman sat on his groin! Fuck it!

Because of that woman, he's now housing a massive boner!

He shook his head and stood up then straightened his slightly soiled clothes.

His eyes wandered around the Airport, and then it settled on the woman who crashed into him. She was talking to a middle age lady and she was pointing the direction towards the bag scanner.

is it in a hurry because someone else got its bag?

He didn't know how many minutes he stood there looking at the woman who was still talking. He shook his head and sighed. When did he return to the waiting area?

Before leaving, he glanced at the woman one last time. he didn't see much of his face, he only remembered the clothes he was wearing. She was wearing a cardigan and she had a colored black-pink scarf around her neck.

There's a part of him that wanted the woman to look his way so he could see her, but sadly she didn't.

you shouldn't be thinking that! You have a freaking girlfriend! Tyron scolded himself and returned to the waiting area where his Mommy and Daddy were waiting for Grace and her mother.

When he got back there, he was there waiting.

"Tyron! Where have you been?" his mother asked hostilely.

He glanced back at where he came from. "You told me to look for Ninang Grace, remember?" He is scientifically proven.

"Yes it is." Again this. "C'mon, I'll introduce you to your Aunty."

Oh, so what we've been waiting for is here. and this is what happened when you met your own godmother in Skype and years later, she forgot what you look like.

He just sighed. early in the morning, his mommy called that she was at the bottom of her condo and was taking him to the airport because she said that Ninang Grace and her son were going to pick them up. And of course, as a good son, he went along.

the mother grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards the front of a woman who was a bit older but her beauty was still obvious.

"This is your Godmother Grace." Introducing his mother. "Grace, this is my son and your adopted son, Tyron."

He smiled and hugged her. "Nice to meet you, Tyron. You're so big. I want you to meet my daughter, Raine-" Her words hung in the air like a floating balloon. "Wait, where is that kid?" His voice was full of surprise.

His godmother Grace looked around to find her son. His eyes stopped at the woman walking towards them. He couldn't see her face because her face was covered by her curly hair.

He didn't show the shock he felt at the woman. The woman was wearing the blank-pink scarf. that's the woman who crashed into him earlier! She's Raine? What a coincidence.

"Raine, what happened to you?" His mother's voice was full of concern as the woman approached.

Still, he can't see her face. Her curly hair is covering half of her face. Damn!

"I'm fine, mom." her voice sounds soft yet callous. "Something happened in the bag scanner but its fine now."

"Awww, sorry sweetheart." Aunt Grace cooed her daughter. "I thought you had it under control."

"Yeah, like I can control one backpack, two sling bags and one very big luggage. It's all under control." her voice was thick with sarcasm and it made him smile a little. Even his mother smiled.

"Sorry, sweetie." Aunt Grace hugged it. "Next time, I'll help."

"No." It broke free from its mother's embrace. "Next time, I'll take care of the box and you take care of the luggage."

"Fine." Aunt Grace breathes out. "Anyway, meet your Aunt Marian, your Uncle Tim and their son Tyron."

The girl shook hands with her parents and when he confessed to her, she looked up and his butterscotch eyes met her Argentine ones.

He can't look away, he didn't even blink! he just stared at her unworldly ethereal face. The woman has a heart-shaped face. She has a straight cute nose. Her lips were ruddy and kissable. His hair is curly and dyed blue. But the color of his hair is different because only the ends have color. and of course, her magnetizing Argentinian eyes. They look so surreal and unearthly yet so pretty ... so beguiling.

With all the thoughts that's running on his mind at the moment, only one dominated. Damn, I am in so much danger.

when their eyes locked, all Raine could think was how handsome this man is. His messy tousled hair, his butterscotch eyes, his proud pointed nose, his sinful thin and soft looking lips, his stubborn jaw line, his well-toned body ... everything about this man screamed gorgeousness.

his handsomeness can be compared to a model that can make a woman drool in just a simple smile.

"Hi." He croaked then he cleared his throat. "Tyron Zapanta," He stretched his hands at her. "Your, ahem, Raine?"

He hesitated to accept her hand but in the end he shook her hand.

he took a sip. "Raine ... Raine Lynn Dizon." He said and quickly grabbed her hand when he felt a strange warmth from it and returned to his mother's side.

Her heart was not beating in its normal pace. the way her heart beat fast, like that from a five hundred kilometer marathon.

"Breakfast, anyone? It's still early." Tito Tim asked while looking at Tita Marian who was talking to her Grandma.

"Sure. I'm hungry." His mommy said.

"Yeah, me too." Aunt Marian's second. "I woke up this morning because I was too excited to pick you up."

Tyrone groaned. "Tell me about it."

Because he was looking at Tita Marian, he saw his mother glare at him and give him a bad look. The man just shrugged and looked away.

"C'mon, let's go." Tito Tim said and guided them towards the parking lot.

As he pulled the large luggage to the parking lot, Tyron walked beside him and took the luggage from his hands.

"Let me." It said.

So this is a gentleman. He commented in his mind.

he no longer acted. He quickly gave her the luggage which made her laugh softly.

"So excited to get rid of the luggage, huh?"

"It's heavy."

"Yeah. It's heavy." He said and moved the hold of the luggage to his right hand.

She gave him a sideways glance. "Thanks."

he walked quickly and led her to the parking lot. He didn't want to come near it because his heart was like doing parkour with its very fast heartbeat.

What is happening to me? He is not like this with the men he knows. Her boss can be compared to Adonis. if he is not Adonis himself. But his heart didn't do cartwheels when he was near. What makes Tyron different? And he even recognizes it!

Maybe because he smells great. Answered a part of his mind.

He shook his head. Whatever.

"Raine, ride with Tyron." Tito Tim said making him stop walking.

What the hell?

"C'mon." He heard Tyron say and he approached the car parked next to Tito Tim's car then he opened the passenger seat and looked at him. "Get on board."

he had no choice but to get into his car.
