Fascinated by You (GM Series #1)

"Mahal mo ko, 'di ba?" Caius asked her, kissing her on the shoulder. They were in his bed, naked under his blanket, while he was hugging her from the back.

She nodded. "Pero mali itong ginawa natin, Caius," she said and shook her head afterwards.

Caius kissed her shoulder again. "I'll take responsibility for it, Jordyn. You don't have to worry," he answered.

"That's not what I mean, Caius. Paano kung may makaalam sa school, malalagot tayo pareho," sabi n'ya. "Bawal 'to."

"I will resign," mabilis na sagot naman nito. Napaharap tuloy siya rito at tinignan ng masama.

"What? Are you out of your mind?" she asked, scandalized by his answer. "You've worked hard to get where you are now!" Sermon n'ya rito.

Caius shook his head and leaned to kiss her neck. "You're my top priority, baby. You're the reason why I even entered the University," he answered.

"Huh?" litong tanong naman n'ya.

"I found out that you're studying there so I tried my luck to get in as a faculty member," paliwanag nito.

"No way..." she said, bewildered by what he said.

"It's true," he answered with a smirk. "I told you, I searched for you and when I succeeded, I grabbed the possible way I could just to be close to you," he explained.

She shook her head and moved away a bit. "You're a stalker," she commented.

Caius pulled her to his chest and laughed. "And where did my stalking get me? Here, beside you." Bulong pa nito sa kanyang ulo.

"Pero kahit na, Caius. We can't do this while I'm your student and I won't let you resign. Kahit sabihin mo pang ginawa mo lang iyan para sa akin, alam kong masaya ka naman sa ginagawa mo. You don't know how good you look in front of them as you teach us," she said.

Caius hugged her tighter. "Then, what do you suggest? But please, don't include break-ups on the choices. That is never going to happen," he asked.

Natawa naman s'ya. "Silly," she commented.

"So? What are we going to do? You're the boss. I will do whatever you want," he asked again.

"Hmm... can we... uhm... keep it a secret?" she asked. Napalayo naman sa kan'ya si Caius at tinaasan s'ya ng kilay. "Hanggang sa maka-graduate lang naman ako. Dalawang semester na lang naman after this sem," sabi n'ya.

"That's at least a year, baby..."

"I know, but please? I don't want you to compromise just because of me," she pleaded.

Caius sighed and nodded. "Okay. Anything for you," he said, kissing the top of her head again.

Caius asked her to stay for the night and since it's already too late, she agreed. Nag text na lamang siya kay Zia na hindi siya uuwi at makikitulog na lang sa dorm nila Olive. Sumagot naman ito ng 'okay', very typical of her.

"I'm starving," bulong n'ya kay Caius.

It's already past midnight but they were both still awake, catching up from the past five years that they didn't see each other.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked her.

She shrugged. "Anything that's available," she said.

Caius nodded and as he, she can't help but looked away. Tinawanan naman siya nito habang nagsusuot ng pang-ibaba. "You've seen it all, already. Bakit nahihiya ka pang tumingi-," she cut him off by throwing a pillow at him.

"Ang epal mo! Lumabas ka na nga, ipaggawa mo na ako ng pagkain!" sigaw n'ya pa rito.

"Alright, Ma'am," Caius replied while laughing.

Pag labas naman nito ay agad din s'yang bumangon. She looked for her clothes but she couldn't find it, siguro ay nasa sala dahil doon naman sila nag simula ni Caius. And she can't help but blushed remembering that scene.

That night, she have given up herself to him, she have submitted fully and the red stain in his bedsheets was the proof of that. Hindi naman n'ya pinaplano, nagulat na lang din siya at nandun na silang dalawa sa sitwasyon na iyon: hindi na makaatras dahil masyado nang darang sa sensasyon.

Dahil hindi n'ya makita ang damit ay nanguha na lang siya ng t-shirt sa cabinet ni Caius. She wanted to get his white dress shirt and wear it like those in the books she read but she didn't proceed, naisip n'ya rin kasing sayang ang laba nun kung ipang tutulog n'ya lang naman.

Pagkatapos makapag-bihis ay iyong bed sheet naman ang sunod niyang inalis. Sa ganung sitwasyon siya naabutan ni Caius nang bumalik ito sa loob ng kwarto nito.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Hawak n'ya pa kasi ang bedsheet nito at nasa katabing sofa ang mga unan at kumot nito.

"Papalitan ko sana, may mantsa kasi," she reasoned.

"Matsa?" tanong naman nito.

Napairap naman siya. Hindi n'ya alam kung wala ba talaga itong ideya o inaasar lang sya dahil naka-ngisi na naman ito ng nakakainis.

"Oo, mantsa. At alam kong alam mo ang sinasabi ko kaya huwag mo nang subukang mang-asar," agap n'ya.

"What?" sabi naman nito pero hindi mapigilan ang pagtawa nang bahagya.

She tsk-ed. "Kuhanan mo na lang ako ng bagong bedsheet, please. Bago pa ako maasar sayo na naman," utos n'ya.

Shrugging and with a wide grin, Caius followed. Agad itong naglabas ng bagong bedsheet at tinulungan pa siyang maglagay nito.

"You look good on my shirt, baby," bulong nito sabay yakap sa kan'ya mula sa likuran n'ya. "But do you know where you look really good? It's when you wear me," bulong pa ulit nito sa kan'ya.

Agad naman siyang napalayo rito at itinulak ito. "Caius, ah! Ang bastos ng bunganga mo," sabi n'ya.

Tinawanan naman ulit siya nito tapos ay hinatak siya paupo. She's now sitting on his lap.

"I'm just telling the truth, baby. You look really gorgeous when you're bare and under me," sabi pa nito, his hands slowly gliding up her back, making circles there. Napapikit naman s'ya sa elektrisidad na hatid niyon.

"I can't believe this is finally happening. All my efforts and hard work paid off so well," he whispered to her.

Napangiti naman siya at sumandal sa balikat nito habang nakapalupot din ang mga braso nya sa leeg nito.

"Thank you for looking for me; for not giving up," she whispered as well. "After five years, I feel happy again. You make me happy again, Caius," she added, planting a feathery kiss on his neck.
