Drop in the Ocean (Upper East Side Three)

Chapter Two

02 - Love

I asked Reizo inside our home and he obliged. Hawak ang kamay ko habang papasok kami doon.

We settled ourselves on the couch in the living room. I leaned my back on Reizo's hard chest as he placed his chin on my head as I am busy playing with his fingers.

"Ang aga mo namang bumalik. I thought you'd stay longer with your parents." Puna ko. He heaved a sigh as I felt him drop a kiss on top of my head.

"I just miss you so bad. I wanted to see your beautiful face again." Namula naman ang pisngi ko sa sinabi nya. Good thing he's behind me and can't see me blushing.

"We just saw each other earlier." After our party last night, mom offered Reizo to stay in one of our guest rooms.

Kita siguro ni mommy ang mata ko kagabi nang magpapaalam na si Reizo para umuwi. Kaya sobrang saya ko nang mag-stay siya dito.

Nang makaalis siya kanina ay siya namang pagdating ni Mischa kaya hindi na rin sila nagpang-abot.

"Hmmm... not enough, love." Sumabay na siya sa paglalaro ng mga daliri ko.

"Wala kang naiwang trabaho sa Pinas?" He looked at me and shook his head.

"I finished everything before flying here. I don't want to be disturbed about work when I am with you." Napangiti naman ako.

"Okay."

"Baby..." Tawag niya. Lumingon naman ako sa kanya.

"Hmm..." Hinihintay ang sasabihin niya. He showed me two one-way tickets to the Philippines.

Namilog naman ang mata ko at agad siyang tinignan.

"Would you like to go with me? Don't worry. I asked Tita Shari and Tito Eero about this."

"Are you serious?" Hindi pa rin makapaniwalang sambit ko. Nakaluhod na ako sa sofa habang nakaharap sa kanya.

"Yes, love." Malambing niyang sabi. I squealed and threw myself at him. I heard him chuckle and kissed my hair.

"You're the best, love."

"Really, huh?" Tumango-tango naman ako.

"How're your documents? Is it settled?"

"Yes. We finished it last week with my friends." Habang nagsasalita ay mataman lang nakatitig si Reizo sa akin habang hawak ang magkabilang bewang ko.

"Work ka agad pagkauwi natin?" Mahina kong tanong at sinalubong ang tingin niya.

He nodded. I pouted. "But I will ask my bodyguard to go to yours and drive you to the company in the afternoon."

"Hmm, why?"

"Dashiel's birthday." Tipid niyang sagot.

"Really?! Oh my, I would love that!" Masaya kong sambit.

"You're too excited for Dashiel's birthday. It makes me wanna rethink my plan that day." He smirked devilishly.

"Hey! Reizo naman eh. I want to meet your friends. Si Sebastian pa lang ang nakikita ko nang personal."

"No need to meet them, baby. I am way more handsome than them."

"Ugh! You're too full of yourself." Tinaasan niya ako nang kilay na parang may pinapaalala sa akin. "I hate you!" I saw how his lips formed a sinister smirk and chuckled.

Naalala ko kasi noon na noong after party ng 18th birthday ko ay sobra akong nalasing. I wanted to do that badly and achieved that when I turned legal. Reizo, Ridge, my cousins and friends were also there. Kasama ko noon si Reizo magdamag. He didn't drink much compare to what I did.
