Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Iris: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

11 YEARS AGO, THANKSGIVING, 2010.   I sat on my little chair close to my pink vanity mirror, looking at my Mama's reflection in the mirror, whose eyes are trained on my hair and whose hands work skillfully to get my thick curls done right.    Most families were and are happy by this time, sitting on the dining chair, eating roasted turkey and any Thanksgiving dish of their choice, just like us.   Mama's warm voice snaps me out of my thoughts.   "All done baby, you look so beautiful." Her smooth voice says, wrapping around me like a warm blanket.   I take time to admire her features, her skin brown like mine. Bryson took a little of Papa's skin which is a bit darker than that of Mama and I.   My features are a mix of the both of them, my small nose, full lips and brown eyes from mama and my thick brows and dimples from my Dad.   She k

He stalks towards my shivering form on the bed, before landing on me. I let out a loud, "Ummph" at his weight. And I spread my thighs open to accommodate him.   "Get off me, you big bear." I groan, which makes him chuckle and I chuckle at his chuckle.   If that makes any sense.   Our laughter dies down and he looks at me with so much lust. His grey eyes are getting darker and his eyelids are lowering. He rests his weight on one arm while the other hand grips my waist tightly.   "This is where you're supposed to kis-"    I'm cut off by his lips slamming against mine roughly, the kiss is heated and full of desire. My mind becomes foggy and all I can think of are his lips and the erection digging into my thigh which makes me gasp.   This gives him the opportunity to plunge his tongue into my mouth and suddenly it's a battle of tongues.  

"I can't believe we're finally doing this." Tasha squeals, hugging Luke's arm from where they are seated at the back seat as we drive out of my driveway.   "Yeahhh." I say dryly. "Me too." I gaze outside the window, shivering at the chilly evening. I was getting ready to watch a series I missed when I received a call from Tasha saying they were parked on my driveway. I completely forgot that it was Wednesday and the movie date was tonight.   Ever since our fight, Luca and I haven't crossed paths and seeing him today made my eyes burn and I almost wanted to jump on him. But I stopped myself after I saw the cold look in his eyes. Instead I sat down quietly in the passenger seat, mumbled a quiet "Hey." and listened to the radio.   "Where is Jackson?" I ask Tasha, looking at her through the rearview mirror. But immediately I look away when I realize what was happening.   "No, he's riding with Matthew." L

It is Monday morning today. After our little sleepover last week, Luca disappeared. Uncle Tyson would be going out of town today. Something about a business meeting with an investor who wanted to expand his restaurant.   "Are you sure you can stay home all by yourself?" He asks me again, as we stand beside his car.   "Yes Uncle Ty...... It's just for a week. Not for a year." I groan.   "What if this business trip takes more than a week?" He sighs, a solemn look on his face. "I'm sorry I won't be home for your birthday."    "You know how I feel about my birthdays now." I smile sadly. "I'll go over to Tasha's if anything happens."    "Promise me you'll call me if anything comes up.... Alright?" He looks down at me.   "I promise, Uncle Ty. Now...shoo." I push him gently into his car. I stand with a smile as he turns on the car engine.  

We're in Luca's car, with Luke and Tasha behind.      "So, how far is your house Luke?" I ask, looking at him through the rearview mirror.     "Not too far. Just a couple of minutes more." He laughs, looking at Tasha lovingly as she shows him something on her phone.     It's not like we've been in the car for an hour or anything. I'm just really exhausted after having a long day at school.     Sigh.     "Before I meet your sister, I need to know what she likes." I say to Luca, watching as he smiles fondly.     "Nothing much. She's more of a Metallica band fan, a huge fan of them." He says, Luke laughs at that.     "She's a psycho." Luke says from behind us.     " That's a good thing, because I'm a huge Metallic
