Charm."What's the meaning of this, Bryce? This is kidnapping?"He chuckles and just walks past me. My eyes follow him until I can no longer see him. I panic and follow him."Hey! Bryce?" My pace is fast in order to reach him. I look like a dumb puppy who's lost, but the difference? I don't have a tail, and it's not waggling!"Hoy, Bryce! Are you listening to me? Ang sabi ko, ba't ako nandito? Ano ba ang gusto mo? Akala ko ba ayaw mo sa akin! Umalis ka 'di ba? You left me! What's the point of taking me now after everything?"Huminto ako nang huminto siya at nilingon ako.I swallow hard. I can feel the heavy, vacant stare in his eyes. He's not glad to see me here, and neither am I. Hindi dapat ako nakakaramdam ng ganito, dahil hindi ko naman kasalanan kung bakit ano nandito."What now?" Namaywang ako. "Ba't 'di ka makapagsalita?"Okay, contest ba 'to ng titigan? Oh well, I can accept that. I'm good at staring."What do you want, Bryce? I was having fun at the bar with my friends. Was

Charm.Why do I hate swimming alone? Oh, yes, when I was a child, I loved to swim so much. My family goes out of the country half a dozen times a year to chase the summer. We love the sun and the beaches. My mother loves it and so do I. But one incident changes everything. . . My mother drowned, and that scares me. She was saved anyway, and she helped build my confidence back in the waters. Iyon nga lang, kailangan may bantay ako at may kasama sa tabi.I cough out as I breathe in. I cried. That was scary. I thought I was going to die.“Charmie, are you okay?”"Bryce?" Malabo man ang paningin ko dahil sa alat ng tubig at luha ay wala na akong pakialam. Galit ako at marami akong tanong sa kanya, pero sinagip niya naman ang buhay. Kaya, okay na.“Bryce!” I yelled as I hugged him. I’m so fragile. I can still feel the waves inside my mind, as if I'm still underwater, drowning."What the hell are you thinking, Charmie? You shouldn't be swimming since you're alone and have no one with you.

Charm.The power of his kiss? Huh, napatahimik niya lang naman ako!I kissed him back, and that settles everything. Now, I'm sitting here, staring at his back while he's busy making coffee for himself and hot chocolate for me.What the heck just happened earlier? What does he mean by that?Virginity wasn't really a big deal. Shocking. What will I do now if he finds out that I'm actually a..."Do you want some bread? I can heat some. May pandesal ako sa freezer."My mouth is already open. I avoid his enticing eyes and look at the hot chocolate he made."Okay. I want some."Naisip ko na masarap ang pandesal sa chocolate drink. Nakakagutom ito.Tumango siya at saka nagtungo sa pantry area. Nandoon lahat ang stocks niya at naroon din ang dalawang malalaking freezer. Natingnan ko na ito kahapon. Maraming stocks na karne, tinapay at iba pa. Mabubuhay ka sa islang ito kahit na lagpas isang taon.Nakabalik na siya na bitbit ang pandesal. Nilagay niya sa plato at ininit lang ito sa microwave

Bryce."She's okay, Sir…no problem. I will, Sir." I laugh a little bit and whirl my body to check my surroundings. "Yes, Sir. I will keep calling you, Sir, until I get her approval. Not a problem." I ended the call right away and shook my head. I will turn off my device and place it underneath my bed. I skip out of the kitchen area, leaving Charmie there to call her father. I will take a quick dip after this before seeing her.I will not complicate things anymore. I'm here, and I know what I want... I want her. That's what my mind and heart tell me. I know it sounds cringe, but who cares? This is what it is. It's korney and what the hell, but this is probably how a Mondragon falls in love. It's crazy."Are you ready?""Ang tagal mo."I chuckle as I step out, having not noticed the time. The warm water relaxes my body, and it took me a while to finish. I was thinking of Charmie too and the kiss. I was hard, and I need to do what a man should do in secret, or else I'll be stuffed."I'

Charm.So this is it? This is how we make it.I guess we are both hungry for this, as our bodies know what we really need. I'm not shy anymore. We had our attempts back then, but he retreated. That was silly of him. And now that I told him I wasn’t a virgin anymore, he suddenly found the courage to do this.Oh dear, I can't wait for his reaction later."Come here." He turned the lever off as the room was covered in steam. I swallow hard, and my face flushes. I can feel my arousal between my legs, and god help me for this.Hindi ako makagalaw habang tinititigan ang hubad niyang katawan. Bryce is gifted with what a woman wants. He's got it—solid, hard, mouthwatering.Nang mapansin niya na hindi ako gumalaw ay humakbang na siya palapit sa akin. He smile sweetly, trying to tempt me. I bit my lower lip and the butterflies inside my stomach flips.Shit. This is it.He stops and looks at me seriously. Ayaw ko sanang titigan ang kabuuan niya, lalo na ang gitna, pero hindi napigilan ng mga ma
