My Wives Are Too Overpowered-Chapter 5 Daughter-In-Law
It had been a whole minute since Melissa started kissing Alex, and there seemed to be no signs of her stopping anytime soon.
Alex was starting to have trouble breathing and he tapped on Melissa's back, gesturing to her to stop.
Feeling the taps, Melissa immediately stopped because she didn't want to hurt her husband in any way whatsoever.
"Huff... Huff..." Alex took support of Melissa's shoulder and breathed heavily.
Looking at her husband's condition, Melissa put on an apologetic smile and said softly while rubbing his back, "sorry..."
Once Alex's breath stabilized, he stared at Melissa for a good few seconds with a poker face, wondering if this woman was crazy or just too much in love with him.
A few seconds of analysis later, Alex realized it was the latter and rubbed his temples.
Although it felt nice knowing such a beautiful woman loved you from the bottom of her heart and was also very proactive in the relationship, it all happened too suddenly and put an air of doubt within Alex's heart.
But given how she knew so much about him and also seemed to contain supernatural powers, Alex felt he should stop whining and accept the things happening to him.
When something bad happens to a person, he's easily able to accept it. But when something good happens all of a sudden, it makes them question. Such was human nature and Alex was a normal person, so this was bound to be the case.
However, looking at the woman's tender feelings, Alex's heart finally melted and he gave in.
'If I die, I die.' Alex thought as he accepted Melissa's love.
Even if she were to harm him later for some reason, Alex would have no regret, now that he made his decision.
Looking at Melissa, Alex leaned forward and said softly in her ears, "next time be a bit gentle, yes?"
Melissa shivered hearing that. Her lips curved into a happy smile and she said, "y-yes."
Melissa could tell her husband had finally accepted her. She didn't know what went through his head, but at last, she wouldn't need to fight him just to kiss or hug him.
Finally having the situation between him and Melissa cleared up, Alex pointed towards his passed out parents and said, "they think I am a virgin who can't even greet a woman. They put me on the same pedestal as a gamer who hasn't touched grass in ages and would jizz himself the moment he sees someone of the opposite sex."
"It's messed up, but I am the one to blame." Alex smiled and shook his head. "Don't get me wrong, they're lovely guys. Very supportive, very caring, very nice. It was me who showed no interest in people for years and put them in this state."
Melissa giggled. "Husband sure loves to take all the blame."
"Not really. This time it really is my fault, but..." Alex faced Melissa. He poked her face with his index finger and continued, "part of the blame goes to you for jumping on me in front of them. Not just jumping, but outright kissing me. Thankfully things didn't go past that otherwise..."
Melissa chuckled. "Otherwise?"
Alex turned to look at his parents and after a pause, said, "otherwise I probably would've become an orphan, I guess."
"..." Melissa's smile disappeared hearing that. "Why would you say something like that..."
"It's true, though." 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
"Well... erhm..." Melissa cleared her throat. "Do we wake them up now?"
"Obviously." Alex said and walked towards Josh and Janet.
He held their wrists and first checked the rate of their pulse.
Looking at her husband do weird things, Melissa said, "should I--"
"I'll do it myself."
"But it'll only take a second..." Melissa put on a sad face.
Alex shook his head. "They'll just get more confused if you use any magic on them. Let me wake them up normally."
"If you say so." Melissa backed away and sat down on the couch she previously was on.
Alex took some water on his hand and sprinkled them on their faces. There was no response. He then clapped his hands together near their ears -- still no reaction.
Alex slowly brought his hand closer to their ears and when it was just half an inch away, he clapped them as loud as he could, jolting the two awake.
"Gunshots? In our neighborhood!? Honey, get the guns!" This was Janet's first response to hearing a loud clap.
"GUNS!" Josh's first reaction was listening to his wife.
"Calm down, you two. There's no gunshots." Alex made them sit back down on their seats.
He then took a seat beside Melissa and looking at his parents, said, "I have something important to tell you."
"..." Josh and Janet were dumbfounded with the sudden change of atmosphere.
Their son... he was sitting close to a girl! Not only was he sitting close, he also seemed perfectly fine. There didn't seem to be any nervousness, he wasn't shaking, and it was as if... as if he was skilled with the ways of being around woman.
'HOW!?' Josh and Janet both questioned themselves internally but didn't say it out loud.
They didn't want to bring their son's confidence down, but being his parents, they were genuinely confused as to what even was wrong with his behavior.
For now, the two decided to respect their son's instructions and sat quietly on the couch, waiting for him to speak and say the important thing.
Having his parents' attention, Alex said, "Yeah, so... I'll make a brief introduction first. Mom, dad, this is Melissa and Melissa, they both are my parents, Josh Gray and Janet Gray."
Josh and Janet smiled and waved at Melissa, who waved back in return.
"Good, now that the introduction is over, onto the main topic." Alex turned the seriousness of the conversation up a notch.
Josh and Janet sat at the edge of their seats as he said that and listened intently.
"You both saw Melissa kiss me--"
"Yes! Yes! Sweety, what got to you for doing that!?" Janet couldn't hold herself back and asked Melissa. "My son could've very well died from a shock. You know he's never--"
Alex looked at his mother with a dead serious face as she said that.
"Okay, okay, I'll not interrupt..." Janet realized her mistake and put her hands up.
Getting the chance to continue, Alex said, "yeah so, she kissed me and it's all normal. The reason being... we are married."
"Oh, I see-- WHAT!?"
"WHAT!? WHEN???"
Janet and Josh both felt their worlds turn upside down with this statement from Alex.
"Please calm down and let me explain." Alex politely requested them.
He could understand their reactions and frankly speaking, they've still had a mild reaction as compared to the majority who would whoop their children's asses if they got to know about something like this.
"Alex..." Janet knitted her brows and said. She walked close to him and holding his shoulders, stared into his eyes and continued, "...are you being serious here? Tell mom it was a joke and I'll let it slide..."
Josh appeared behind his wife and placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Alex shook his head. He looked at his mom and then at his dad and said, "Mom, Dad, I really am married. I don't know when this happened as my memories are all very foggy, but yes, I am."
Josh and Janet firstly stared at Alex for a few seconds, then at each other, and then sighed together at the same time.
Josh looked at Alex and shaking his head, said, "son, if you're being serious... you could've at least sent us a text message saying you were getting married. We never would've been a hindrance in your relationship and would actually cheer for you. Why did you--"
"Dad, I understand you. But if it makes you feel better... even I don't know when and how I got married." Alex put on an apologetic smile.
"What?" Josh questioned.
Alex nodded. "I have no memories of it and I really don't know."
Janet knitted her brows. "Alex, are you trying to prank us or something by saying those things?"
Alex shook his head. "Mom, I am being really serious."
"If you have no memories, you're wearing no ring, how do you even know you're married?" Janet pointed.
"Oh, there are rings." Melissa suddenly chimed in.
Everyone turned towards her instantly as she said that.
"We have rings!?" Alex was the one most surprised hearing that.
"Yes." Melissa nodded. She took out a ring from her pocket and handed it to Alex. "Here, this is the one."
The ring Melissa handed was a plain silver ring with a metallic shine to it.
Alex looked at it and then said to his mother, "there... rings."
"Where's the other one?" Janet questioned, to which Melissa showed her hand, the same ring being present on her finger.
"Haiz... you two really seemed to have gotten married..." Janet didn't need any more proof and she fully believed in her son's words.
Despite knowing her son was married and doing well in life now, the disappointment of not being present for his big day was visible on both Janet and Josh's face.
Alex could feel it clearly and tapping on their shoulders, he said with a smile, "why are you guys sad? A marriage isn't complete without celebration and blessings from the parents. You guys clearly weren't there for me that day, my marriage is still incomplete and remaining."
"Let's properly have the wedding in a bit of time and if it doesn't go well, then you two can show these disappointed faces."
Josh and Janet's worries eased and their sadness washed away as Alex said that.
"Right, marriage isn't complete without celebrations. Let's call all the friends and family and officially have you guys tie a knot together." Janet said happily.
"I'll go call the wedding planners right away!" Josh ran away after saying so.
Alex smiled and shook his head. "You guys are getting so excited, it's good, but aren't you forgetting something?"
"Hmm? Forgetting something?" Janet asked, a bit confused.
Alex nodded. "Shouldn't we also ask how Melissa feels about the wedding? What if she--"
"No, no, no. I am completely fine with anything husband wants." Melissa chimed in again and said.
Janet giggled hearing that and walked towards Melissa.
She hugged her and planting a kiss on her head, said, "I am so happy to have such a good daughter-in-law."
