Chapter 7
"Miss Taylor, we have a three week business plan at a certain resort. Marami tayong gagawin doon bukod sa planning. There will be investors too and I want to get all of them." Seryosong saad ni Garry.
Simula ng magkasagutan kami ay hindi na bumuti ang pakikitungo nito saakin. He also avoid my gazes and he never flirt me. Naging casual na ito na hindi ko alam kung bakit nagpapabigat sa loob ko.
"Okay sir, noted." I said while jotting it down on my notebook.
"Did I said that it will be tomorrow? And may I remind it's for three weeks." Paalala nito, agad akong tumango.
"Opo sir." I said.
Tumigil ito sa ginagawa at kunot noong tumingin saakin.
"Wala bang magagalit? Are you allowed to be out for three weeks?" I sighed and smile.
"Sir my fiance understand the nature of my work. Noon nga halos isang buwan akong nawawala, it's fine with him." I said proudly. Nakita ko ang pag ismid nito.
"What an ass." Bulong nito na halos hindi ko marinig.
"Po?" I ask.
He looked back at me and shook his head.
"Finish all what I need for today. Prepare everything you need tonight because we will be out tomorrow morning." He said coldly.
"Okay po sir." I replied and bowed my head.
"If you don't need anything po, I'll be going." I politely said.
"You can go now." He calmly said that made me nod.
Alright, totoo na ba 'to? Humupa na ba ang kalandiang taglay ni Garry?
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng makalabas na ako ng kaniyang opisina.
Looks like, everything will be according to what I want. Sana tuloy tuloy na 'to hanggang sa maikasal na kami ni Ethan. I want to be a good wife for him.
Whatever happened between me and Garry will be hurried in the past now. At lahat ng pag aalangan at mga tanong ko saaking nakaraan ay kakalimutan ko na. Ethan never did something that will hurt me physically and emotionally. Bakit naman siya magsisinungaling tungkol sa nakaraan ko? Isa pa, mom and dad also said whatever Ethan is saying kaya may tiwala ako na totoo lahat ng alam ko.
I breathe in and smile.
It's a new beginning indeed.
"Hon, I'll be gone for three weeks." I said, Ethan looked at me.
"Three weeks? Kailangan ba talaga hon? Why don't you spend that days planning about our wedding?" Tanong niya habang may tinitipa sa kaniyang cellphone.
"Ethan... We have lots of days to plan our wedding. Alam mo naman kung gaano ko kamahal ang trabaho ko diba?" Ethan shrugged his shoulders.
Aw, such a cute view.
Lumapit ako sa kaniya at niyakap ito.
"I promise when I come back we will be planning our wedding. Uuwi din siguro tayo ng province, what do you think?" Sumilay ang ngiti sa kaniyang labi.
"Totoo ba 'yan?" He asked like a kid. I giggled. I know how he miss our province pero dahil hectic ang schedule ko hindi kami nakakauwi.
"Yup!" I said and pinch his noise.
He rest his chin on my shoulders.
"I love you Anne." He whispered that sends a different feeling on my tummy.
I used to hear that words from him and I use to say I love you too. But why does it feel like a foreign feeling?
"I love you too honey." I responded back and shake the negative thoughts in my mind.
"So...
Kailan ang alis niyo?" I smirked.
"Excited ka na ngayon?" I said while wiggling my brows.
"Of course! I'm also wishing na sana matapos agad ang three weeks mo. Three weeks without you is a hell." He said that made me blushed.
If only I can remember our past, wala akong ibang maiisip na masama. Even if how many times I tell my self that Ethan is my man, apart of me is telling I need to know my past first before entering a marriage.
We had our dinner here at home. It's past nine at nandito parin si Ethan sa bahay. Manang Nilda already finished their works that's why nag papahinga na sila sa kanilang kwarto. I and Ethan are still at the loving room. We are watching a movie.
"Honey, hindi ka pa ba uuwi?" I asked and took a glance on the wall clock. Lumingon ito saakin at dinantay ang malamig na kamay saaking hita. It sends chills all over my body. I gulped and tried to fight back the uneasiness.
"You will be gone for three weeks hon, can I sleep tonight with you?" He ask.
I don't know but I don't want him that near. I mean, I can't stand being that and this close with him. It feels like I'm forbidden to do so even he is my fiancee.
"I'll miss you, I swear." He whispered and reach for my cheeks. Nagkatitigan kami kaya nagawa kong pagmasdan ang kaniyang perpektong mukha.
Ethan is every woman's dream. Mabait, matalino at caring, total package na din ito bilang isang asawa. Pero bakit ganoon? It felt wrong. It felt wrong to be this near with him.
Napaigtad ako ng naramdaman ko nalang ang mga labi niyang masuyo akong hinahalikan. His kisses are so sweet and gentle. Unlike Garry who is very rough yet so intoxicating.
Garry's kisses are way more, delicious.
Agad akong napalayo kay Ethan. Napakagat labi ako at yumuko.
How can I think of Garry given I am with my fiance?
"Uh, Ethan--I think you need to go home." I said and get up from the sofa. Tumitig ito saakin ng ilang minuto bago sumunod na tumayo at nginitian ako.
"Okay Anne. I'm sorry for being blunt. I shouldn't ask to sleep with you knowing we are not yet married. Don't worry honey, I can wait." He said and smile. Gumaan ang pakiramdam ko at niyakap siya.
God, I don't think I deserve Ethan. He is too good for me. To gentle for me.
"Thank you honey. I love you." I murmured while breathing heavily.
"I love you too hon."
