Quirino growled and let go of Morana's right wrist and used her free hand to hold her head so she couldn't bite him.
"What the hell are you biting me!" This time Quirino let go of Morana's other hand and pushed her body away, of course not with all his strength to make the woman fall but enough to make her stop.
Morana said nothing more but, her black eyes seemed to say; so what's your decision?
"Come with me, but don't make noise." Quirino waved his hand, signaling Morana to follow him.
What else could he do in the middle of the night like this except let her in? Quirino will think about this matter later after he returns from campus tomorrow.
Quirino should have been able to open a hotel room for Morana, but somehow he felt more comfortable when Morana was under his supervision.
Who knows what she thinks and will do when alone? She's the type of person who doesn't think twice before taking action or making decisions, for example, like now…
The two of them entered Quirino's boarding house, walking slowly and as quietly as possible so as not to cause noise or attract attention.
Not only would Quirino get in trouble if he was caught bringing a woman into his room, but if his parents found out, he couldn’t imagine what his father would do to him.
It was only after Quirino closed the door of his room, after Morana entered, and made sure no one saw him, that Quirino could breathe a sigh of relief.
However, his trepidation hadn't gone away yet, when he turned around to find Morana casually opening his wardrobe.
"What are you doing opening my closet?" Quirino hissed as he walked quickly to Morana, his long footsteps and the size of the room that was not too wide, made Quirino arrive in front of Morana almost at the same time as the end of his question.
"I want to borrow clothes." Morana answered without guilt while taking a plain white shirt from the closet and Quirino's dark blue boxer shorts.
"Please, at least you have some shame." Quirino covered his face with his palms, frustrated when he saw Morana waving boxers and white shirts right in front of his eyes. "You want to wear my clothes?"
"I didn't bring anything with me and I also haven't showered since morning. I don't want to wear the same clothes." Morana frowned at the thought of having to sleep in the same clothes when she came.
Quirino who was at a loss for words in response to Morana just waved towards the bathroom located in the corner of his room, as if to say; Okay, shower!
Morana calmly walked towards the bathroom while grabbing Quirino's towel which was hanging not far from there.
Great!
Not only did Morana wear his shirt and boxer, but Quirino also had to share towels with her.
But, that's not all Quirino's main problem, because when he heard the sound of water from the bathroom, the image of Morana, who was not wearing a single cloth, crossed his mind.
Makes his heart flutter wildly.
Morana…
What is this woman really up to?
After finishing, Morana came out of the bathroom wearing Quirino's t-shirt and boxers.
Her long, waist-length hair and black as night, wet because she decided to wash it.
"Do you have a hairdryer?" Morana asked while trying to dry her hair with a towel.
Drops of water that fell from her hair, soaked Quirino's white shirt she was wearing.
Really, a sight like this was not something Quirino expected!
"No, I don't have one." Quirino replied while looking away, he tried to find something interesting to watch, but nothing could take his mind off Morana's current figure.
"How come you don't have one?" Morana grumbled a little as she continued to dry her hair with the towel.
"You think I need a hairdryer?" Quirino brushed off his short hair. "Guys don't need stuff like that."
This time Morana did not answer, she casually sat on the edge of the bed beside Quirino.
Quirino's room is not too big, but very comfortable and neat, with a balcony and bathroom inside can make the occupants feel at home.
Not to mention Quirino's habit of always being organized, so all things are in their place.
Quirino is not like most guys who have messy rooms, you could say Quirino is ‘slicker’ than Morana herself.
No one knew since when Quirino looked at Morana beside him. Starting from the curves of her body, the line of her face, the small changes in her facial expression to the water droplets that flowed down her white and slender neck.
It was Morana who came to Quirino, and now they were both in his room, sitting on Quirino's bed, if anything happened, no one would know and it would not be Quirino's fault entirely.
If something happens…
Morana is the most beautiful and attractive woman Quirino has ever met, although there are many beautiful women out there with pleasant personalities but somehow none of them can beat Morana's charm in Quirino's eyes.
There is something in her that makes Quirino want to always be near her and know the slightest information about her.
"Why are you looking at me?" Morana glanced at Quirino next to her through the wet curtain of her hair that fell to the side of her face.
But, not the answer that Morana got, but Quirino's hands that grabbed both sides of her face and pulled her gently.
It was a mystery what possessed Quirino and what spell clouded his mind when he pressed his lips to Morana's cold lips.
He gently caressed Morana's cheek with his thumb while biting the lower lip of the woman he had claimed to be his since a year ago.
This is their first kiss because so far, both Morana and Quirino, have never taken his words seriously about their relationship.
Even though Quirino doesn't realize it, he's been acting like a boyfriend to Morana all this time.
Perhaps out of shock or not knowing what to do, Morana blinked her eyes repeatedly when she felt Quirino's soft lips on hers. He nibbled on her lips gently and put his hand on the back of her head.This is the first time for Morana to experience something like this, she is confused whether she should push him away or let him do what he wants like Morana has always done. She used to do whatever she liked.However, this time it was different and the situation was not the same.Morana's breath hitched and her chest rumbled frantically as Quirino pushed her body onto the bed and pinned her down. She realized what was going to happen after this.Morana's back was pressed so close against the soft mattress while Quirino hovered above her, exploring her lips with his warm and gentle tongue, asking for Morana's approval to open her mouth.But Morana didn't let him get what he wanted, because she was still too confused…But Quirino did not understand, his warm palm left the side of Morana's fa
Morana doesn't know how long she had been asleep, because the first thing that woke her up was a loud knock on the bedroom door.The repeated knocking seemed to indicate the impatience of the person behind it and it annoyed Morana, because she felt the headache almost split her head into two."Morana! Wake up!"Quirino's voice penetrated into her consciousness along with the morning sun that dazzled her vision. This was the worst morning ever. Morana felt miserable.Morana rubbed her face and tried to open her eyes, but they felt very heavy, as if her eyelids glued together. Especially her head, she felt like a person who had just suffered a heavy blow and passed out.Well, thankfully, although Morana had never experienced such a horrific event… but, she could imagine the pain, which was no different from what she felt right now."Morana! Did you faint or what!?” Quirino is getting annoyed because there was no answer from her, but he was also worried about this girl, she could do some
Her very secretive attitude sometimes makes Quirino a little frustrated, but for some reason he is patient enough to deal with her strange traits. This is something Quirino continues to question even now.He hoped, maybe, one day Morana will be comfortable enough to share stories or her own feeling with him… maybe one day Morana will want to open up to him and tell him the whole story of her life and why she always looked so callous and lonely…Quirino will wait for that day to come while taking care of her…The day Morana allowed others to understand her better and stopped staring at the distance with such expression that made Quirino wanted to hug her and protect her. What actually happened with her life, until she was not wiling to let anyone in?After that, Morana stayed in Quirino's boarding house for four days.During those days, Quirino didn’t stop persuading Morana to return back to the capital city, because she had life to live there. She needed to go to school and finish it,
‘But, as long as Quirino still has an interest in you and he is not married at this time, you can continue to be by his side. After all, he is a man and needs entertainment, since he is not allowed to mess with a nice girl from a good family.’In other words, Quirino could play with her as long as he liked and when it was time for him to get married, Morana would never mean anything to him and could just be left behind.He would abandon her, like the other people in her life. She couldn’t stand another abandonment…That is the picture that Quirino's father gave of her in the brief meeting a year ago. The meeting didn’t even last for an hour, since he was a busy man and didn’t have more time to be wasted on her, but the impact of it lasted more than a year.It was as if a dagger had stabbed into her chest every time Morana recalled those words.So clear that it sounded so realistic to her ears that Morana believed it. She believed everything that he said to her and to put it bluntly, s
Morana cried even louder when she heard Quirino apologize to her, he shouldn't apologize, because there was nothing to be forgiven from him. He didn’t do anything wrong.Morana could understand Quirino's annoyance and frustration with her attitude, she could understand it, after all they had been together for four years, it was impossible for Morana not to know Quirino at all.Quirino, one might say, was too good for her. If he were another man, she didn’t know what she would have become now?Who wants to pay for the necessities of life for a sophomore high school student who just ran away from home? With no clear goals and an unconvincing family background.Not to mention Morana's stubbornness, who continued to refuse to answer all questions about her life and her family.However, Quirino was never pushy, he patiently let Morana do what she wanted and took care of her.No one has ever looked after Morana like how Quirino looked after her.In short, Quirino could be said to be Morana'
"You can use me as long as you want, but please don't take advantage of other guys, I can never accept that. Use me all you want. I don’t mind it."That was what he said to her and she took Quirino's words seriously, as the silent once again ensued between them.In the end Morana fell asleep in Quirino's arms. This didn't bother her anymore now, because she could have slept near Quirino without having any thoughts that he would take advantage of her.Having Quirino in her life was like as if Morana was having someone who had seen the worst of her to the point of how moody she was, but still chose to stay by her side and continue to support her without getting tired or bored.Maybe this was Morana’s luck after all the misery that she had gone through, because it was very rare for other people to have someone like Quirino.However, the inferiority complex and embarrassment that covered it all obscured her true feelings, making Morana unable to judge the situation properly.She felt like
"When did I get close to your boyfriend?" Morana ignored the dripping water from her hair as she folded her arms across her chest and glared furiously at Alinda and her accomplice. "I don't even know who is your boyfriend is."Morana's words were like gasoline that ignited Alinda's anger and made it flare up even more.With her face turning bright red Alinda moved forward to attack Morana, her hands stretched out dangerously towards her opponent.However, Morana had already anticipated Alinda's move, even though she had never participated in any martial arts training, the harsh life she had lived made her able to simply protect herself.What's more, Alinda is just a spoiled young woman, who only takes benefit behind her parents' wealth to get what she wants.The source of her courage was only due to the strong influence of what her parents had, who are also well- known lecturers at the university, so she thought she could act as she pleases with fellow students.She was the epitome of
"Don't ever bother me again." Morana's eyes were cold towards Alinda, who was still speechless when she watched her favorite bag worth tens of millions crushed and just piled up at her feet.Seeing this, Alinda's two friends were afraid of Morana, if it weren't for Alinda, they would have run away somewhere. This girl was not someone that they could mess with.It was Morana's unusual gaze that made the hairs on their necks stand up, as if nothing could make that woman afraid, not to mention the fact that what she was fighting right now was the daughter of the lecturer where she was studying.Morana didn’t care about all of that.“Morana!!!” As Alinda slowly regained her conscience after the shock that she got upon seeing her poor bag, she growled viciously at Morana and glared angrily at anyone who was there, watching her misery. “You will see the consequences of this action! You are a lowly bitch!"Before Alinda could continue her words, Morana had already stepped forward and slapped
