All Chapters of Pantalon Mong May Bakat: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

PRESENT..........Lexie's Point of ViewI yawned for the nth time this morning. Kahit pangalawang cup ko na ng coffee, wala pa rin—my sleep-deprived self just couldn’t function properly. This is all Drew’s fault. Kung hindi lang siya naging sobrang relentless sa pang-aakit niya kagabi, edi sana hindi ako parang bangkay ngayon sa office.Like, seriously—he’s been in town for weeks now, and almost every day, either he crashes at my place or I end up in his. And syempre, hindi lang kami natutulog doon. We’ve done it in places I didn’t even know were possible before. Honestly, at this point, I could write a whole erotic novel just from experience—thanks to Drew.Pero may number one rule kami an sinusunod—never spend the whole night together. Walang sleepovers, dapat din walang clingy moments. Para iwas chismis at para hindi na rin ako masyadong masanay sa idea na may katabi akong natutulog sa kama ko. Kasi nga, this is just a casual thing, not a real relationship. Just... for fun."I jus

ps: english na may onting tagalog tong chap kasi im engliishera halata HAHSHDrew's Pint of ViewI sighed for the nth time as I stood inside my grandparents' mansion. I was back in Greece to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday. If it were up to me, I would’ve skipped the festivity and just stayed in New York, but my mother, Irene, insisted that I come—unless I wanted another endless lecture about how I “don’t care enough” about our family.“Kailan ka ba magbabago?” she would always nag whenever I came home for vacation. “Stop being so laid-back and start helping with the family business!”Seriously, I had zero interest in our family's hotel business. My cousin Luke seemed to be handling the hotel empire just fine without any trouble. I just couldn’t picture myself stuck in an office for hours—I’d rather be out in the streets, wandering and capturing the world through my lens. Photography was my passion, not boardrooms and business meetings.II watched the party unfold from the sidelin

Lexie's Point Of ViewMahigit isang linggo na rin mula nang umalis si Drew papuntang Greece para sa family matters. Hindi ko akalaing mamimiss ko siya nang ganito—parang ang OA kasi ilang buwan pa lang naman kaming nagkikita. Pero nasanay na 'ko sa presensya niya sa buhay ko. Kaya ngayong wala siya, parang may kulang.Napabuntong-hininga ako habang nakadikit ang gilid ng ulo ko sa bintana ng taxi, pinipikit ang mga mata sa pagod. Grabe, drained na 'ko. Sa gallery, halos hindi na kami magkandaugaga sa dami ng kailangang ayusin para sa upcoming exhibit. First major project ko 'to simula nang ma-hire ako, kaya todo effort talaga. Gusto kong maging proud sa'kin si Dad.Huling beses na nakausap ko si Drew, 'yung gabi na nag-clubbing kami ng mga coworkers ko. Sa totoo lang, wala talaga 'kong balak sumama. Mas gusto ko sanang magkulong sa apartment at magbasa na lang, pero ayoko namang magmukhang KJ sa mga bagong ka-trabaho. Plus, dahil sa time difference namin ni Drew, ang hirap makahanap n

WARNING LONG CHAPTER!! HUHU ANG HIRAP HATIIN NG WORDCOUNTLexie's Point Of ViewI offered to split the bill, pero agad siyang umiling."Since you haven't gotten your first paycheck yet, I'll cover this," he said casually."Just treat me once you get your first check."Napangiti ako at agad na sumang-ayon."Deal."Pagbalik namin sa apartment ko, my feet were already killing me from all the walking."Hold on to me," he offered, hawak ang brown paper bag sa isang kamay, sabay abot ng kabilang braso niya sa akin.Napaatras ako saglit, hesitant to take it.Napansin niya 'yon, kaya tinaasan niya ako ng kilay."Or..." he teased, 'yung bibig niya may bahid ng pilyong ngiti, "do you want me to give you a piggyback ride?"Agad akong namula."No! Holding on to your arm should be fine," I insisted, halos nag-panic sa hiya.Naka-arch pa rin 'yung kilay niya habang nakatingin sa akin, clearly waiting for me to heed his offer.Napapikit na lang ako saglit bago ko dahan-dahang iniangkla ang braso ko

The words were cut off from my mouth when he abruptly dipped his head and claimed my lips.Napasinghap ako, but before I could even protest, his mouth moved against mine with a slow, deliberate hunger.I was determined not to let him seduce me tonight—pero putangina naman. It was impossible to resist the way he kissed me. The way his hands traced familiar paths over my body, making my skin ignite with every touch.And my traitorous body? Tangina, agad-agad nag-respond sa init ng mga daliri niya.Hindi rin nakatulong na kabisado na niya kung paano niya ako paluluhurin sa kahinaan. He knew exactly which buttons to push—and he did so mercilessly, making me melt into his arms like always.I pulled back slightly and shot him a disapproving look, my lips swollen from his kisses."That’s not fair..." I murmured breathlessly.A devilish grin tugged at his lips."I don’t play fair, Lex, remember?" he announced unapologetically, his voice dark and low as he traced my lower lip with his thumb.I
