Ace Of The Beauty (El Vicente Series #3) COMPLETED

Kabanata 38

Dahan dahan akong bumangon sa kama ni Rashid. I didn't know how did he made me sleep beside him but I did. Malalim ang tulog niya dahil pagod at nakainom kagabi. We didn't do anything, that's it.

Tumitig ako sa kaniya. Ang gwapo.. I said to myself.

Suplado pa din ang mukha niya kapag tulog. Pag gising ay ganoon din.. pero madalas, kapag ako ang kausap ay malambot at ngumingiti naman siya. His smile is expensive. Kapag nakangiti siya'y parang magkakautang ako. I remember liking his glare back when I was in school. I was so crazy over him.

Hindi ko iyon pinagsisisihan. It made my memory seems fun. Well, that was the best time of my life.. And if I were to go back to that time, I'd probably do it again, no doubts.

I sighed and stood up. I should pack my things, right. Paglipat sa mansion ang aatupagin ko.

I was packing half of my clothes when the door opened. Nilingon ko si Rashid na magulo ang buhok at nakakunot ang noo, parang batang iritado dahil ginising sa mahimbibg na tulog.

Bumaling ako sa ginagawa at hindi siya pinansin. I heard his footsteps on my back until I felt him hug me from behind.

Huminto ako sa pagtutupi at bumuntong hininga. "May ginagawa ako, Rashid.."

"Aalis ka na?" malambing na bulong niya sa akin.

Kinagat ko ang labi ko habang pinapasok ang mga damit sa maleta.

I nodded. "I'm going back to our house. I need to."

"Can you stay a little longer?"

Nag-tiim bagang ako at nilingon siya. His weary eyes dropped on my lips. Medyo nakanguso ang labi. He just got off the bed and went straight to me. Natanaw ko ang itim niyang boxer.

"No."

"How can I see you, then?"

I will not let that happen.

I licked my lips. "We'll figure that out. First, I need to pack my things."

He nodded. "Can I help you?"

"No, you can't." tulak ko sa kaniya. "Doon ka na. Please, don't disturb me for a while.."

"Galit ka ba?" hinawakan niya pa din ang siko ko. Iritado ko siyang binalingan. He was figuring something in my actions.

"Rashid.." I warned.

He cleared his throat and nodded. "I'll prepare our breakfast."

"Okay."

"I love you."

Nagkatinginan kami.

Kumurap kurap ako at tumalikod sa kaniya. Hindi ako nagsalita. Pain stabs my chest as I heard his footsteps walking away from me.

This is better, Gianna. Aalis ka lang! Goodness, it's not like I can't live without him. Not like I need that man in my life!

Natapos ko ang pag-iimpake ng damit at ng ilan. Ang iba ay hindi na kasya. Siguro ay isusunod ko na lang iyon. I feel lonely thinking that I'll leave this precious house, too. This house has been more than home to me.

I took a quick bath and fixed myself. Tatlong maleta ang dala ko. Dalawa ang hinihila ko pababa. Soon as Rashid saw me, he immediately rushed to me. Binuhat niya ang dalawang maleta kaya bumalik ako para kunin ang isa.

"Thanks." I said when he still went up to get the other one.

"Ilalagay sa sasakyan mo?"

"Uh, oo.."
