Chapter 1-Swap

MARGAUX' S POV

Abala ang lahat sa paghahanda para sa nalalapit na kasal. Kaya naman ng bumaba na'ko sa grand living room ay wala man lang nakapansin o bumati sa akin.

Para lang akong hangin o anino na dumaan sa kanila. What do I expect? Ganoon naman talaga sila. It does not bother me anymore. Ang importante makita ko ang inaabangan ko tuwing dapit-hapon.

Napangiti ako ng paglabas ko ng mansiyon ay nagkulay-kahel na ang langit at unti-unti na nitong sinasakop ang buong kalangitan.

"Sunset na." Palundag-lundag pa ako papuntang labasan ng mansiyon. Dinadaan-daanan lang ako ng mga staff namin sa mansiyon. May ibang tinitingnan ako pero sila yong mga baguhan pa lang at hindi pa masyado akong kilala.

Nang marating ko ang labasan ng mansiyon ay naghanap ako ng puwesto kung saan ko mapagmamasdan ng maayos ang sunset.

Subalit may biglang tumakip sa aking mga mata. Bigla akong kinabahan. Malalaki at mga malalapad na kamay. Sinubukan kong mangapa. Malalapad na dibdib at mga makikisig na braso. Sino ba to?

"SIno po ba kayo?" sabi kong nagpupumiglas at sinusubukang makawala. Hindi naman ako pinupuwersa nito subalit likas lang talaga itong malakas.

Sino ang mangangahas gumawa ng krimen sa harap mismo ng Valencia mansion. Ang kinikilalang pinakamayamang pamilya sa aming lalawigan.

"Ssssh." tugon ng lalaki.

Iginiya niya ako sa kung saan at nang makarating kami sa kung saan man yon. Tinanggal niya ang pagtakip sa aking mata pero niyakap naman ako ng patalikod at sobrang higpit. Ipinatong pa niya ang ulo niya sa balikat ko at inaamoy ang aking buhok.

So hindi siya rapist? Kung ganoon sino to?

"Ay!" Hindi ko napigilang mapasigaw ng maramdaman ko ang matigas na bagay sa aking likuran. I was so ignorant bout such things. Wala pa akong experience sa ganoon. . I Never seen one, yet.

"Did you feel it babe?" he asked

Babe? That husky voice. Kilala ko

ang may-ari niyan. Halos hindi na ako makahinga sa sobrang kaba na narardaman. Naramdaman ko ang panghihina ng katawan ko kaya hinayaan ko na lang siya.

He was gently stroking my arms and softly kissing my nape. It brings shivers to my body then. This is not even right. And his breathing became so heavy and intense that it also affect me. Is this some kind of a dream?

Why am I even allowing this to happen. But maybe this will be the last time for me to taste this kind of feeling. He started grinding slowly as if dancing with the rhythm of his body.

Inikot niya ako at pinaharap sa kanya. I was waiting for his reactions but nothing came. I was waiting for him to reject me but it did not happen.

So hindi nga niya ako nakilala? Hindi siya nakahalata. I broke the silence first.

"Cloud, what are you doing here?" I said.

"Just visiting you. And what is my future wife doing here alone in the dark?" he said while looking intently at my eyes . This time he is stroking my hair and gently caressing my cheeks.

I closed my eyes feeling all the sensation inside me. I hope it was me he was referring to. But it was not and it will never be me. He will remain just a dream for me.

He is Cloud Devron. My twin sister's fiance. With all these, I can't betray my twin-sister.

"Ah, Cloud I'm not-" Hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko kasi hinila niya ako palapit sa kanya. I was going to tell her that I'm not his fiancee. It's the other way around. I'm Margaux and not Marga.

Nanlaki ang aking mga mata ng unti-unting nilalapit niya ang kanyang labi sa akin. Nakatitig pa ako dito. Oh my G! Is he really going to kiss me? What the!

Hinarang ko sandali ang daliri ko sa labi niya. Shit! Nakakatempt tikman. Pero hindi talaga puwede.

"Cloud! Hindi ako-" Napanganga na lang ako ng kinagat niya ang daliri ko. With our eyes locked up at each other, hindi pa rin siya nakakahalata.

"In three days, you will become my wife. I can't wait for that day. For now let me have some samples of what I am going to have for the rest of our lives."

That said it all. He claimed my lips and kissed like he was deprived of that for too long. At first, it was gentle and mild then it became fierce and wild the next few minutes.

I even gasped to catch some air. He was invading my mouth with his tongue. Heavens! Is this a dream or for real. If it's a dream. I want to be trapped here for a decade and stay with him.

Cloud even pinned me to the tree and hung my hands up there. Leaving me no choice but to feel the moment. The moment that was not meant for me but for my sister.

"Ah! wait." I moaned when Cloud started kissing me with so much pressure and with still our clothes still on. "No!" I screamed when he tried to lower down his kiss, to my two proud peaks that no one has ever touched yet.

He smiled victoriously." Aw! You are so ready for me. But let us leave that thing till our wedding night."

Lihim akong nagpasalamat at hindi niya itnuloy ang plano. Maybe, I could not resist if he insisted.

Pero hindi pa rin siya tumigil sa paghalik sa akin, sa aking leeg, sa puno ng aking dibdib. All these things are new for me yet it feels so good.

HIndi ko mapigilang mapaliyad sa dulot nitong kiliti. It's now or never. Kaya nanamnamin ko na lang ang bawat haplos at kiliti. Kasi hindi siya magiging akin.

Mananatili na lang siyang isang ala-ala.

He hugged me tightly after that breathtaking romance we had.

"Did I scare you?" he asked. "I just want our body to be familiar with each other. You know we are not involved romantically. But, after today. I can't wait to be your husband. You are so irresistible." He kissed my forehead after that.

Hindi pa rin niya alam na hindi ako si Marga.
