When we arrived in Ayala safely.
He turned to me and looked at my clothes. I saw his eyebrows arch when he stared at my outfit.
He saw it earlier, he had no complaints. "What do you want to eat?" he asked when we entered to a fast food chain.
"Just steak," I said.
He nodded and went to the counter to order. I saw the flirty smile of the crew at him. I frowned and went to the table where I could see them.
The crew taking Rod's order looked at me and I couldn't help raising an eyebrow at her.
When Rod turned to me, I immediately looked away. My heart's heartbeat is going wild again. I hope that whatever I feel for him, is only an infatuation.
Rod came back and sit in front.
His stare was making me nervous.
When I saw him busy on his phone, I couldn’t help myself but to stare at his perfect and handsome face.
When he looked at me, he caught me staring at him. Gosh!! He smirked!
"So why did you decide to come?" he asked after he put down his phone on the table.
"Ah.. because you invited me?" unsure of my words.
He grinned and I know by now that my cheeks were red. This is embarassing!
I shyly turned my gaze to the other side and that's when I caught a pair of Symon's eyes staring at me.
My eyes widened as I looked at him. What is he doing here? Come on!
His eyes alternated between me and Rod as if he was observing us. Maybe he’s thinking that Rod is my boyfriend. Hopefully he won't think that Rod is my sugar daddy.
I looked at her date and I saw a beautiful female nursing student. The famous one inside the campus. So they are dating?
I looked at Rod and I saw his sharp eyes on me. He took his phone and I noticed how his jaw tightened.
Our food arrived, so we started eating but he’s still silent so I wondered.
"Ah-Rod.."
I know he heard me but he didn’t responds.
"Rod..." I called again but still no response.
I kicked him under the table so he looked at me.
"What?" his voice is very cold. What is his problem?
"W-When are we going home?" I asked nervously, which I wish I hadn't done because his face wrinkled as if he didn't like my question.
"You should stay at home then if you don't want to come with me."
"Ah- no. I'm just asking."
"Tss.."
My lips twitched and I just focused on the food. After we ate, Rod took me to CDO Boulevard.
"Let's get some air here," he said. I just nodded and leaned on his car that was next to him while observing the people around us.
"What are your plans after you graduate?"
I was shocked when he suddenly asked me. I never imagined that Rod would ask me this.
"Work," I typically answered.
He nodded.
"How about you?" I saw him frown and turned to me.
"First, I don't understand why you’re making me feel that I am older. You're 21 and I'm 25. Are we too far apart from each other?"
I looked down. I don't want him to know that I am intimidated by him.
"How should I address you then?"
I saw him raise an eyebrow at me… “Really? You do not know?" I bit my lip. What should it be?
"What's my name?"
“R-Rod..”
I saw a sparkle in his eyes and a smile on his lips.
"That's it," he said close to my ear which almost made my hair stand on end. What's Rod doing to me right now, I don't like that.
At the bar, Rod clearly told me that I should stay at the table and drink juice. He didn't dance either, he was just in front of me drinking beer.
He made an excuse to go to the bathroom, but he hasn't been come back yet.
I looked around to look for him but I couldn't see him. I thought he might be on the dance floor. I leaned on the couch and drank the wine he was drinking earlier.
I'm not a drinker but I'm not innocent of alcohol. Mom used to make me drink wine every occasion so I'm not ignorant.
I stood up to look for Rod but I was taken back when I saw him near the exit wall, leaning on the wall while kissing a hot girl who wears a black tube and a black mini skirt.
My chest tightened at the not-so-delighting scene. I sat down again and drank the beer.
I admitted it. I have a crush on attorney's son. I want to curse at myself for liking someone who is a womanizer.
I coughed as I finished a bottle of beer.
"Hey, I'm sorry... it took so long." I heard Rod say from behind.
When I looked at him, I saw him staring at the beer I finished. His eyes widened as he turned to me.
Don't start with me Rod. I looked at his red lips.
I closed my eyes when I remembered the kiss earlier.
This is fvcking sht.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Rod's tantalizing eyes darted on me. I looked at his lips. There's something in me urging me to kiss him.
Before I could think rationally, I pulled his shirt closer to me and claimed his lips. I closed my eyes as I tasted his lips for the first time and I felt how his body stiffened at my sudden move.
Before I could know it, his hand was already on my nape. He pulled me closer to him and I let him devour my mouth and let him svck my tongue.
I lose my consciousness... it seemed like the world stopped moving and what matters to me right now is him... kissing me like no tomorrow.
"Rod!" The attorney shouted as I entered the house. I came home from school and it was late already."What the hell? I said no. I will not marry her!”Getting married? Rod is getting married?"This is what your father wants son. Just follow him.""I do not want to!"He looked at me and his eyes immediately widened.I averted looking at him and approached attorney to kiss on her cheek."I'm just in the room," I said and didn't wait for any of them to speak. After that bar accident, Rod and I didn't see each other much anymore.Simply because he stayed in Opol where his father was.We just met again after a week. Then now, I saw him arguing his mom.I lay on the bed and thought about what I heard earlier. Rod is getting married?What a big news. I just got up to take a shower.Because it’s not my habit to prepare my clothes before taking a shower, I left the bathroom with just a towel on when the door suddenly opened. I saw Rod looking at me with wide eyes.I bit my lip hard to not to o
"Stop being so mean to me," I wanted to roll my eyes at Rod's whim. I just ignored him and I don't like what's happening between us anymore.Every time we meet, he just keeps kissing me without my permission. And I'm afraid that his mom will find out about us. She let me live in their house for free and she supported me financially.I just came home from school, he was waiting for me.I closed my eyes when I saw his maid watching us.Before Rod could enter my room, I immediately closed the door. He slammed the door from the outside. Maybe he’s kicking it.I sat on the bed and let out a deep breath. Rod was annoying but I was even more annoying.I don’t him to be near at me, but every time our lips meet, my eyes will automatically close, my hand will automatically move to wrap around his neck, and I automatically respond to his kisses.I laid myself down on the soft bed and tried to calm myself down. Even when I'm at school, my mind still wanders to Rod.How annoying!During dinner, I
My eyes widened and I wanted to push him again but I couldn’t because he’s strong enough to stop me on pushing him. I closed my eyes as he deeper the kiss.He leaned me against the gate and I was catching my breath when he leave my lips. I saw a smile plastered on his lips after he pressed his forehead to mine."I think I'm starting to get addicted to your kisses,"I could hardly look him in the eye after he told me that. I hurried inside and I knew he was laughing after me."Darling? C'mon. We just kissed.”My heart was pounding because he called me darling.Before I could go up the stairs, he grabbed my hand."Where are you going?""In the bedroom," I answered.He bit his lip and pulled me into the living room."Let's watch a movie. You can sleep later since you have no class tomorrow."I couldn't answer him when he suddenly pulled me to the couch."What do you want to watch?" he asked."I don't like movies. I prefer documentaries.”"Really? I like it too..” He said and I just saw t
The next day, I went downstairs and found Rod half naked while cooking in the kitchen.I leaned on the stairs and looked at his back.He has no upper clothes but has an apron. Yeah, that’s right. There must be no- my eyes widened and I immediately put my hand to cover my mouth.Am I lusting the attorney's son? What time is it and why did he wake up early?"Good morning," I even jumped in shock when Rod spoke. I didn’t even notice that he was looking at me now."Ah...l-let me help you,"I went to him to help him cooking."Yes please.. Can you get the towel? It's on the table, I left it there."I stopped and frowned at what he said. What should I do with the towel?"Can you please wipe my sweats, baby?"What?I blinked thrice."If you don't say anything sensible, I'll leave you." I said and hurried to the living room.Before I could get away, I heard Rod's giggles that made my cheeks redden.That guy with almond eyes is pissing me off. He’s so vulgar. How should I handle him?After awhi
I was busy reviewing the lesson here in my room. I didn't bother to go down because Rod was still there. It was lunch time and I was surprised when he knocked my room."I prepared your lunch already,""T-Thank you," I stammered."I'll go ahead," he said but I didn't answer. There was no noise outside the door. I feel like he's gone.I held my breath. Rod can easily take my breath way. I don't know how he does it.I came down from the living room and he was gone, not even his car. In the kitchen, the food he cooked was already on the table.I smiled and was excited to taste those. I thought at first we didn't get along but here he cooked me food.He's really intimidating but sometimes sweet. No one still knows in this house about us.I don't want attorney to find out and make her upset. I don't want her to think that I'm a bad woman or that I'm seducing her only son.After I ate, I just reviewed and edited some chapters in the research paper.I looked at my cellphone and saw Junisa's c
I locked myself in the room and never came out that day. Little did I know that that would be the last time Rod and I would see each other because he had left home to on his father's company in the city. And as for my thesis with Junisa, it was successful. We did some revisions of our project before we publish it as a book. "Let's take care of it tomorrow. We should celebrate first." Junisa said as we left the school building. Symon: I heard the defense was successful. Congratulations. I replied to Symon's text and then texted attorney that it might take me a while to get home. It's five o'clock in the afternoon. "Let's go downtown. I'm hungry," Karen complained. We went Downtown to eat at Pepper Lunch. "Let's sing later at the KTV Bar!" Karen suggested but Junisa growled and said we’ll have fun here in the Downtown to save time since we’re here already. Symon: Are you busy? Me: We’re celebrating for the success of our project. We ordered food and then we talk about what h
"I'm excited!" Karen said loudly. She lives in Tagoloan so she picked me here on the highway in crossing Dayawan."Yeah, it's obvious,""By the way, did Junisa texted you? She didn't reply to me. Before I forgot, she said her cousin wants to come."My eyes widened.“Symon?”"Yeah. You do not know?"They don't know that I have a crush on Symon before. I shook my head to answer her.If Rod know this, he will be angry for sure.RJ:Enjoy the trip. Laguindingan already.I bit my lower lip while looking at the picture he sent. He's so handsome in his get up. He will go to Manila for his meeting with the investors. He is with his dad whom I have never seen before. My eyes widened when I saw that he’s calling. I answered it but I glanced first at Karen who was busy on her phone."Hey.. Am I bothering you?""Not at all,""We're just waiting for Arian,"I frowned."She's my step-mother," he said even though I hadn't asked."I'm not asking," I said and I just heard his laughter on the other lin
We went to Kibanban Stream. I turned off my phone while we were in Balingasag. I don't want to talk to him.I was very hurt after finding out that the ones they meet in Manila were not investors but his fiancée.But we're not really in the relationship but it still hurts."Are you okay?" Symon asked when I didn't go with Junisa to take pictures. The place is greeny, you can feel that you’re one of the mother nature in this area."Yes," I smiled at Symon."You don't look... okay," he said and looked at Junisa who’s with Karen."Why do you say so?""You looked dead when you came back after you visited your house in Salay." He said seriously.I hesitate to smile. Is he observing me?"When we met in Ayala, you were with Rodie James Chavez, right?"He knows Rod?"And before that, the one in the food court, he kicked us out..."I kept my mouth shut. Everything is very clear in my memory."Are you really not close?" he asked. He narrowed his eyes at me as if he knew when I was going to lie.
