Brielle

.

I could only manage my best smile as Nicolo dominated the conversation, focusing on himself and his businesses. He never misses a chance to show off his achievements!

Duh. Kailan ba siya matatapos? Nakakainis na.

"Look at you two. You seem perfect for each other. I can't wait to see you get married," tugon ni Papa.

"Oh, honey, huwag mong madaliin si Brielle. Mangyayari rin ito. Hindi ba, anak?" si Mama sa akin. Naka videocall si Mama at si Papa ang may hawak ng cell phone. Wala siya rito at kami-kami lang din.

Lumakas ang tawa ni Nicolo. "And I can't wait for that, too, Mamita. I'm sure Brielle and I will have lovely offspring!" Pumalakpak siya.

Offspring ba kamo? Baka e-offspring ko kaya ang ulo niya sa katawan. Kung puwde lang!

They all laughed, and I slightly chuckled to hide my anger. I'm not in the mood to play whatever my father is playing right now. I expect a different approach as I requested this holiday. But dang it, they couldn't even give me a little of my time

    Charm.I had a good sleep. It was the best night for me, and here I am, having my breakfast smiling, thinking of Bryce."Belen, don’t forget to bring some for Bryce for breakfast."Abala si Manang Belen sa kusina. Naririnig niya ako dahil hindi naman ako kalayuan sa kanya."Hindi nag-b-breakfast si Bryce mo, Charmie.""What about snacks? Bring him some snacks, Manang, please. Kawawa naman iyong tao. Ang dami niyang ginagawa roon."Naalala ko ang treehouse. I remember Manang Belen mentioning it to me the other day, but last night, when Bryce asked, I forgot.Lumulutang ang isip ko at nawawala ako sa sarili kapag nagkatinginan kami. I felt the magnetic heat that kept us drawn together. I like the feeling of being with him."Okay…" mahinang sumagot si Manang."Tapos na ba si Bryce sa treehouse?""Sa tingin ko tapos na. Mukhang tinapos na niya kahapon.""Oh, I see. That's good. I will check if I can see the treehouse later." Lumawak ang ngiti ko. Mukhang mapapaaga ang plano kong bisita s

    Bryce.She's beautiful. There's no doubt about that. Her lips are kissable, and damn it, my insides swirl as I imagine her kissing that part. I can't control my mind. It betrays me whenever I look at her. This is purely lust, I know that. I could easily walk away from this, but I can't, because deep inside, I want to give this a try.Charm embodies her very name. She is not like other women. I dislike her, yet I also find myself liking her.Nemo and Dory? Forget that. I don't even know that kind of stuff, but I'm loving this."Did Manang not tell you that I was fixing the treehouse?""Ha? Uhm," she stammers. "She did, but I thought she was joking. . . Madalas kasi ay nagbibiro si Belen sa akin. Can I see the treehouse?"I open the back door and step out. I leave it open for her to check the outside."Oh, I see. . ."Pareho kaming nakatingin sa treehouse. Maliwanag ang loob, pero wala masyadong ilaw sa labas. May isa lang at sa entradang hagdanan ito.She went quiet for a minute, jus

    Charm.“And what are you doing here?”Bryce’s eyebrows wrinkled the moment our eyes met. His wet hair disheveled, making him so hot and fuckable.Oh, lord god! I’m a sinner, I guess, because I’m staring at him, but my imagination is running hot and wild.Napalunok ako at kumurap sa harapan niya. Sinadya kong itaas bahagya ang kilay ko at ngumiti na parang sira!Tamang-tama ang dating ko kanina, hindi pa siya kumain at nag-sho-shower pa, kaya heto, tinulungan ko si Manang sa pag aayos ng mesa. Nandito na ang pagkain ko. Sasabayan ko si Bryce.“Since you’re not joining me, I will be joining you!” I smile wickedly.“My day will never be complete without you, Bryce.” I flutter and sit down.My smile is not fake. I’m truly smiling from the bottom of my heart and won’t back down from his cold treatment. I glance at him again, hoping he’ll sit so we can begin, but he just stares at me, confused by my actions."Na, hala. Bahala na kayong dalawa rito ha. Gisingin mo na lang ako, Charm, kung b

    Bryce."I’ll be fine, Digs, don’t worry about me. I’ll be back in the next few days. Just keep it all cool, bro…Okay, I will. Thanks.”The call ended, and my vision is now focused on the calm ocean. After the dinner last night with Charm, I decided to stay here until this deal is over. I couldn't understand myself either. A part of me hates her, but the other part wants to hold onto her. She's unpredictable, but manageable.I've dealt a lot with them. Maraming naghahabol sa akin noon pa man at iba ay gumagawa ng iba't-ibang paraan para makuha ang atensyon.They flirt, get naked, offer their selves at me not just in private because they do it also in public. I've received a lots of indecent proposal from them, but I refused. Nagkaroon din naman ako ng mga relasyon at iilan lang iyon. Ayaw ko sa pangmadalian, dahil lahat naman ng nakarelasyon ko ay nagtatagal ng iilang taon."Sir, Bryce, snack time!" si Manang.I smile as I look down at her. Nilapag niya ito sa lamesa na yari sa kahoy

    Bryce.Si Manang lang ang nakakausap ko ng maayos rito. Sumunod ako sa kanya kahapon at nakita ko na sa ibang bahagi ng isla siya nakatira.The place differs from the Villas, having an old-fashioned charm, and everything around it seems in need of some fixing. Manang owns a well-built house here. In the backyard, there's an old treehouse that particularly catches my eye.Inakyat ko ito kahapon at nakita ang kalumaan sa loob. May iilang gamit rito nakatupi at may dalawang wooden box na ang laman ay mga laruan ng isang batang babae. May litrato riin sa loob, at nakilala ko agad ito—si Charm.Manang told me that the person next to Charm is her mother. In the end, Manang shared some information about Charm's childhood, including when she stayed with her on this island with Manang."I'm sorry…"I stopped at what I was doing and furrowed my brows at her with no expression. My heart pounded, and that damn thing in between my legs jerked.I keep myself busy, and doing so helps me forget ever

  • Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body   150. I'm sorry

    Charm."Where the hell is he?"Wala siya sa dalampasigan. Wala sa harden, sa pool, sa indoor greenery at wala sa function room. Kinabahan ako. Tumakas siya? Paano? Lumipad siya? Huh, ang baliw na nang mga iniisip ko!"Manang Belen, have you seen Bryce?"Manang Belen stops what she was doing without looking to see where I was standing.She's busy preparing dinner tonight, and the kitchen is in chaos. She can cook, but not like a professional chef. Her ingredients are very unorganized, making the kitchen look like it's in the middle of a war.Ngumiti si Manang nang makatingin sa akin. Hindi makapaniwala na tinawag ko siyang 'Manang.'"Ano ulit?" Pa-beautiful eyes niya.I sighed in desperation and wiped my sweat."Bryce? Where is Bryce, Manang?" I smile in desperation. I feel like my heart is going to explode soon.Iba-iba na ang pumasok sa isip ko. Baka nag-swimming siya at nalunod? Wala akong security guard sa Isla dahil pinaalis ko silang lahat. Kami lang ni Manang rito at Bryce. At
