"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 overreact.
"You didn't lock the door," his face darkened while staring at me.
"You should knock then.."
I saw him walking closer to me while I was just standing in front of him, tightly holding the towel that was wrapped around me.
He pulled my waist closer to him. He didn’t take his eyes off me.
I just look calm but my heart can't stop pounding.
"Were you waiting for me?" his deep husky voice soaked onto me. I cling to his arm while the other hand is holding the towel so it’ll not fall.
I can’t stop my heart. It’s pounding real hard. Damn it!
I shook my head. "I'm busy," I said.
I don't want us to talk about the kiss. I'm ashamed because I was the one who initiated it.
I admit that I had a crush on him but I was very passionate during those times.
"Where?" he asked.
He’s staring at my lips. What is he thinking?
I backed away from him and sat on the bed. I don't care if I wet the bed sheet. It will dry out later.
"I'm busy at school R-Rod,"
I saw a strange sparkle in his eyes after I uttered his name.
What's wrong?
“Hmm…”
"You are getting married?" I asked biting my lower lip. I saw him stare at me for a moment.
"No. Why would I?”
I bit my lip and nodded.
"Need to dress up," I said.. I'm really impressed with myself. I didn't even stutter in front of him even though I was feeling very nervous.
"Okay," he said.
"Are you going to do something later?" he asked again. I nodded.
"School works,"
He nodded and left the room. When he disappeared from my sight, only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
What happened? Why is Rod acting like that?
I got dressed right away and dried my hair. I have no plans to go out. I even lock the door. I don't want to see Rod.
He's not good in my system. He always makes me nervous.
When I finished my assignment, I immediately fell asleep. I just woke up around midnight just to drink water.
I don't know if Rod waited for me to go out earlier but why would he wait for me? There’s no reason to wait for me.
It's not really a good idea to have him by my side. I didn’t recognize myself anymore whenever he’s near.
When I went down to the living room, I was surprised to see Rod drinking alone. I immediately turned around to go back to my room when he spoke.
"Why did you lock your room?"
I knew he was talking to me. So, he went to see me earlier?
"It's normal to lock the room," I answered.
"Why didn't you go out earlier?"
I bit my bottom lip. I don't want to answer.
"Elena and I kissed earlier," he said making me turn in his direction. I caught him staring at me.
I immediately regretted turning to him. I wish I didn't.
"I don't care about that," I said calmly even though I knew to myself that I didn't like what he said.
"Torrid...she svcked my lips..hard."
I bit my lip hard. Why is he saying this?
"She sat on my lap-
"What's your problem?" I couldn't stop asking him.
I saw him raise an eyebrow at me.
"What's your problem? You kissed me the last time at the bar!”
I stopped and looked down.
"Sorry.. I wasn't thinking straight that time. Probably because of the alcohol," I made an excuse.
"Oh.. yeah?" he said, mocking me. I closed my eyes. This man knew how to tease me.
"I'm going to sleep!"
I didn't wait for him to answer. I went back up to my room, hurrying...but before I could even open my room, Rod's angry face was already in front of me.
He pinned me against the wall and before I could know it, his lips landed on mine claiming it like a hungry animal that haven't eaten for years.
My eyes widened when I realized that he's kissing me torridly. I tried to move out of his grip but he didn't let me. Instead, he thrust his body to mine and I almost lost my consciousness when I felt him down there poking in my stomach.
It's hard...
Then.. slowly...my body didn't resist anymore. I close my eyes and snake my arms around his nape. I threw myself to him and I just felt my body lifted up in the air.
I cross my legs around his waist and respond to his hungry kisses with the same intensity he’s giving. He kissed my lips and I responded him with a moan that I couldn't restrain.
He opened the door and walked inside my room then he laid me on my bed and kissed me again. I tilted my head upwards just to have him an access to explore my neck....
"You smell...ahhh—beer," it's embarrassing.. I should stop this.
"I got pissed off. You’re avoiding me,” he said while glaring at me.
I turned my head to the other side. I don't want to meet his eyes.
"We shouldn't kiss. Attorney Manilou wouldn't like it for sure.” I whispered but his face just darkened as if he didn't like what I said.
"Shut up and kiss me back!" He demanded.
"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.
I never saw Rod since then. He was busy with his company and I am taking care of my resume for upcoming internship.The day and time passed quickly. It's our second semester, and soon I’ll graduate. I am with Symon and he is accompanying me to Rod's company."Sy, you can leave me now. Thank you for coming with me,""No. It's fine. Really.."This is Junisa's fault. She was the one who supposed to be here, but I didn't expect that Symon would be the one she asked to accompany me on my walk. I still remembered what she said earlier, "Maaaaarch, sorry.. I got a stomachache so I can’t go with you. I will send Symon there." That's exactly what she said.I held my breath as we entered the building where Rod was now."When are you going to Cebu?" I asked Symon, trying to open up some conversation."Maybe next week."Ah okay. We approached the front desk to ask the assigned employee about where is Rod's office."May I know your query with Mr. Chavez ma’am?”"Ah—can you tell him my name? March
