ET2: Through The Storm

Chapter 25

Aron Ryle's POV

It never crossed my mind that Dwight was coming back to Dreem today. I was surprised when she was there in front of me, soaking through the heavy rainfall. But what surprises me more was her words. I felt an enormous satisfaction when she said that she was afraid to lose me. I've got my girl's heart after so many years of courting her. It was worth the effort. I am beyond happy. My heart was plunged into deep ecstacy. Saying that I am the happiest man on Earth now was still an understatement.

While kissing her, I forgot all the things that has been bothering me. I finally found my remedy.

The sweet taste of her lips, conjured up memories I had with her. The first day I met her flashes back to my mind. I was right that day. That my heart really wanted her and would be only her.

I even almost forgot for a moment that rain was pouring down. As I could feel Dwight tightened her grip on my shirt, that made me deepen what I started. I almost lost control of myself because of the effect of the liquor on me.

Slowly, I stopped and leaned my forehead on hers. I gently caressed her cheeks. The rain was flowing down her face. "Sorry, love," I muttered. "I was swayed by my emotions," I continued and kissed her forehead next. It was easy for me to do it because I am taller than her.

We are both soak through under the rain before we went inside the house. I let Dwight borrow one of my long sleeves shirt. Mabuti na lang at dala niya ang bag niya na may iilan niyang gamit kaya may panloob siyang pampalit. Ngunit karamihan sa damit niya ay nabasa talaga ng ulan dahil may kanipisan din naman ang bag niya. Basang-basang ito at kailangan munang patuyuin bago muling magamit.

She already changed her clothes when she got out of the room. She settled with the white long sleeve. It's too loose on her because she has that slender figure. She's holding a towel on her head, drying her hair.

When she came near me, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to sit next to me.

"Let me help you dry your hair." I got the towel from her and began wiping her hair.

"Buang ka kasi. Bakit ka nagpaulan?!" She scolded me.

"Why could I feel that you are saying that it was my fault na nabasa ka ng ulan?

"Oh. Ano pa?"

"Buang ka rin ba? Sino ba ang walang dalang payong?" I teased.

She turned to me with her lips slammed shut, pissed by what I just uttered.

"Love. . . " I whispered when she went quiet.

The rain was still pouring hard outside.

"What?"

"Love, I am sorry that I made you worry."

"Buti alam mo.

"Ang harsh mo naman, Love."

"Buti alam mo."

"Defeat," I mumbled. "I already called mother. I told her that you are with me."

"Can you stop my mama your mother?"

"I won't. I'll call her mother very soon. When you'll be my wife.

Dahil sa tinuran ko ay nakatanggap ako ng isang malakas na hampas sa braso mula sa kaniya.

"Oh. Oh. I'll stop na."

"Why did you go mad today?" she asked next.

"Couldn't control my emotions."
