The Crown Prince Reino de Filipinas Series (Tagalog)

88...89...93...99! It's tachycardia. No. It's an awful joke fate has thrown at my face. Who would have thought that I'll give away my first kiss to a total stranger—greek-god like if I may add— whom I dragged into a dark alleyway. Damn it! Ang engot ko. Napakalayo n'ya kay Karlo. I blink several times before my eyes stop, focusing on the man who's nibbling my lips. Dark floppy hair, high prominent cheekbones, and ax-like jawline. In short, panty-dropping gorgeous man! He's an A-league, a complexity and I'm just me. Simple, plain Gen. How in the hell did this happen? I forced my eyes to blink, trying to convince myself that I'm not dreaming or seeing an apparition of Mario Ermito or the likes. Gosh, the roman gods must be jealous of him. His lips were warm and soft. His breath was minty and his tongue. Oh, that sneaky little muscle. It scrapes every nerve in my body, I think I'm feverish. I don't know i

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE LIAM'S POV January 19, 2020 Sinulog Festival Grand Parade 10:00AM/ Alcala de Escolta Real Cebu City   "Your Royal Highness, this will be the parade's schedule today," Jaques walked toward me and put the iPad on top of my table. "But it's not yet final. We're still firm with our decision, Sir." I nodded at him. Naiintindihan ko ang sentemiyento ng mga tao ko at ng palacio. "Duration?" I asked while scanning the gadget. Hindi pa man nagsisimula, pagod na ko sa nakikitang schedules. "About an hour. Depends on the crowd." I grunt. "Tell the boys to coordinate with the city council. I can't be delayed for my flight later this evening. You have to fix this, now. I can do the opening for the program at the plaza."

GEN'S POV Butil-butil ang pawis at bahagyang nanginginig ang mga kamay kong may hawak na tasa ng mainit na latte. I let out a sigh and carefully placed my drink on the table. For the fifth time, eyed the clock on the wall. Maybe, malapit na siya. Grabbing my phone, I searched for Donna's number. Ngunit bago ko pa mapindot ang call button may bigla ng humbalot sa cellphone ko. "S***a ka!" "Oops. Sorry, bakla. Naipit sa traffic." I rolled my eyes dramatically when her lips landed on my right cheek and squeezed me in a tight embrace. "Wait. Did you order our drink?" She inquired pertaining to our fave Starbucks coffee drink. "Nope. It's freaking long. Sabi ko sa'yo i-text mo sa 'kin kanina," I pouted. "Fine. Ako na'ng bibili. Hindi kita maintindihan. Magaling ka sa memorization bakit 'di mo makabisado 'yung baris

GEN'S POV LIFE IS FULL OF RULES. Absolute truth and though at times we tend to think otherwise since it put limits on how we see and do things– life in general, still, we are surrounded by them. Katulad na lang ng kung paano ako putaktihin ng sangdamakmak na alituntunin ng palasyo. I sigh dramatically, straightened my back as I ready my ears for the lengthy speech of dos and don'ts. "Listen very carefully and I want you to remember the 3 general rules here inside the palace,” tinig iyon ni Maam Val ang Head ng Social Media Department isa sa apat na departamentong under ng Communications and Information, department kung saan kami naka assign ni Donna. Yes, I'm grateful to our lucky stars. Hanggang Dito sa palacio magkadikit ang bituka namin. "First, discretion is paramount. All things that are related to the palace will remain inside these walls,” 

GEN'S POV   "HEY ang tagal mo. Saan ka ba nag punta? Kanina pa nag-start ang meeting," salubong sa ‘kin ni Donna pagpasok ko sa control room. Buti na lang at may pinto sa may bandang likuran kaya di masyadong pansin na late ako. "Naligaw kasi ako eh. You know," matipid na sagot ko at dahan-dahang umupo sa tabi niya. Alam naman nitong mahina ang sense of direction ko kaya tumango lang ito’t ibinaling na ang atensiyon sa harapan. Ako naman, pilit ko pa ring kinakalma ang sarili ko dahil sa nasaksihan at sa nangyaring paghaharap namin kanina ni Prince Liam. Gosh, ano kayang nasa isip n’ya? He caught me and his brother in a compromising position. Huwag naman san aniyang isiping isa ako sa mga babaeng nagkukumahog sa atensiyon ng isang royal prince. Okay, for the sake of argument sabihin na nating partly bet ko ding mapansin ng isang prinsipe pero hi
