All Chapters of Pantalon Mong May Bakat: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

DREW’S POVI took a long swig of my drink, the burn of the alcohol barely registering anymore.No fucking way am I letting that happen.She was mine now.And I’d be damned if I let some other bastard take her away from me—especially my cousin.Luke will have to step over my dead body first before he gets Lexie back.I wouldn’t let go of the momentum I had with her. Not after everything.I had too much to lose now.I shouldn’t have let her in my life if I knew I’d be this terrified of losing her.No.I wasn’t backing down."Drew?"I looked up at the sound of her voice, instantly sobering.That soft, angelic voice I could recognize anywhere.Lexie.I blinked, my lips curving into a slow smile as she walked toward me. "Hey, beautiful," I greeted, my voice hoarse from the alcohol.Her brows furrowed instantly. "Are you drunk?"I quickly shook my head, but the motion made my vision tilt. Shit."No," I slurred slightly, forcing a grin. "Just… tipsy, I guess."Her frown deepened as she eyed

LEXIE“Lex?”"Hmmm?" My breath hitched when I felt Drew's strong arms wrap around my waist while I was making coffee the next morning.He stood behind me, his arms around me, his chin resting on my shoulder. He was walking around the penthouse half-naked—honestly, I wasn’t complaining. “We’re okay now, right? Like, really okay?”I couldn’t help but chuckle at the desperation in his voice. I didn’t really get him when it came to us—he always seemed unsure, as if thinking everything could end in the blink of an eye.Turning around to face him, I kept laughing. "I think so. After everything that happened last night, I’m surprised you’re still asking that."He gave me a disapproving look, still refusing to let go of me. "I’m just making sure, love. What if this is all just a dream? Or maybe I’m just imagining things."I shook my head, a smile forming on my lips. "I don’t think your imagination stretches that far."“Wait, are you mocking me?” His brows furrowed, but I could see he was amus

LEXIEThe annoying sound of my alarm blared repeatedly, pulling me out of my slumber. Napangiwi ako at pilit kong inabot yung phone sa bedside table para i-snooze yung nakakairitang tunog na gumugulo sa mahimbing kong tulog.I yawned and slowly pried my heavy eyes open. As usual, late na naman ako nakatulog kagabi kasi hindi nakuntento si Drew sa isang round lang. Syempre, kailangan laging at least dalawa o tatlo bago siya matahimik at makuntento sa gabi.Kahit antok pa, dahan-dahan kong inalis yung mabalahibong braso niyang mahigpit na nakayakap sa bewang ko. His arm was draped around me so possessively, parang ayaw niya akong pakawalan kahit natutulog siya. Pero kailangan ko nang bumangon at maligo—Calix’s first exhibit sa gallery namin today.Pero bago pa ako makagalaw, nagising yata siya. Bigla niya ulit akong hinila pabalik sa dibdib niya, niyakap nang mas mahigpit, at binaon ang mukha sa leeg ko.Napangiwi ako. "What do you think you're doing?" I tried to sound stern habang pili

LEXIEPinanood ko silang maglakad palayo papunta sa isang sulok ng art gallery. Kitang-kita ko kung paano nag-usap sina Drew at Irene, but even from a distance, I had a gut feeling—it wasn’t a pleasant conversation.I tried my best to appear cheerful habang kinakalkal ako ni Kyla tungkol sa relasyon ko with her brother."Since when pa kayo ni Drew?" she asked, giving me a playful nudge. "Grabe ka ha, ang tagal mong itinago ‘to."Napatawa ako ng pilit, pretending I was fine. I grabbed a glass of wine from a passing waiter, sipping slowly to calm my nerves.Habang nagkukwentuhan kami ni Kyla, I kept stealing glances sa direksyon nila Drew at Irene. Mukhang may pinagtatalunan sila. Nakakunot ang noo ni Drew, while his mother had that stern look on her face. Shit. Was it about me?I could feel my stomach twisting uncomfortably."Hey, you alright, Lex?" Kyla’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.Nagkibit-balikat ako, forcing a smile. "Yeah. I’m fine."She gave me a reassuring look. "Don’t

DREW"Drew!" Lexie hissed, squirming slightly in my arms. Her cheeks were flushed pink with embarrassment. "Ano ka ba? Nakatingin sila!"I glanced down at her worried eyes and smirked. "Hayaan mo silang tumingin." I tightened my hold around her waist possessively. "Gusto kong malaman ng lahat na tayo na. Wala akong balak itago ka."She sucked in a sharp breath, clearly conscious of the looks we were getting from the other guests. Her fingers lightly gripped my chest, silently begging me to behave."Gets ko naman," she mumbled. "Pero pwede bang kumilos ka namang disente kahit ngayon lang? Exhibit mo ’to, Drew. Hindi date night."I chuckled lowly before leaning down to whisper in her ear, my lips barely brushing her skin. "Too bad…" I purred huskily. "Wala kang gentleman na boyfriend, moro mou. At hindi ko kailanman sinabing magpapanggap akong isa. And right now…" I bit her earlobe teasingly, making her shiver slightly. "I'm so damn tempted to ditch this event and take you home."Her ey
