Captivated by his Warmth (Luxury Girls 1)

Chapter 18

Chance.

"So wala ka talagang planong sabihin sa amin C?" D said as we walked towards the car.

Nalaman niya na Architect takes me to dinner. Well, her friend saw me and that friend made kwento to D so D is pissed because she was surprised to know about it. Architect is popular to those girls since he had this fair share of women that's why D's friend was excited to tell D about what she saw. But ang kinaiinis ni D is bakit hindi ako nagkwento sa kanya.

"Because wala naman talagang dapat sabihin, we're friends we're just hanging out"

"Oh really? Because sa pagkakasabi ng staffs mo kanina habang inaantay kita ay parang nililigawan ka daw ni Architect, care to explain?"

"WHAT? O-okay he is not, they are misinterpreting it, but okay Architect told me he likes me but he never told me that he'll court me"

"But do you want him to court you?"

"No, that is not what I mean and right now he really is acting like a friend he doesn't hover and act like just a f-friend"

"Why am I sensing that you don't like the fact that he is acting just a friend? You like him too noh?"

"NO! of course I don't!"

"Oh, please! Be honest for God sakes, it's okay to date C, Ed and you can't be together anymore and you also lied to us that there is nothing going on between yo—"

"Because there is nothing going on!" I cut her off.

"We both know there is, why can't you just tell me the truth? I get it okay Ed left you and broke your trust but I am your best friend does your trust issue that bad that you cant even trust your own freaking best friend, oh scratch that best cousin huh?

"No, I trust you okay, I have trust issues and I don't trust Architect that much for me to make kwento agad, I am scared that he is not serious and playing with me when I got my hopes up then I'll end up hurting again, that is why I don't share it with you, I'm still observing him before I share stories about him and I don't want to bother all of you again because I might be broken hearted a-again"

"Ohh, shh, sorry C I didn't know I'm sorry" she said while trying to stop me from crying while hugging me "Okay, you can keep observing him if you like, but you can go have fun you know? Try to date him for real not just 'friendly' dinner date"

"I don't think I'm ready... I don't want to use him"

"You will not be using him, I know deep inside your heart or your mind you are enjoying his company and you might like him too, you'll never know what you truly feel unless you try to give him a chance and give yourself chance to try too"

"But I rejected him already, twice in fact"

"Well, if he really like you then he'll be happy to have 'another' chance since you already rejected him, duh"

"Thank you, D and sorry wala akong intensyon na iparamdam sayo na I don't trust you"

"It's okay now stop crying since we're here sa club"

"Oh you can tell, H and L, your face looks like you want to ask that but you don't know how to"

"You read my mind, you really know me, don't you?" she said and rolled her eyes.

We walked towards H and L as soon we entered the club. There are drinks on the table already. C excitedly tell H and L about what she discovered about me and Architect. L left the table when some of his friends asked for him to come. While H kept asking me for 'details'. I told her about how Architect start to act just like a friend even though we had that dinner and yeah I don't like him acting like that at all.

"Oh. My. God. I knew it! I was right! So something is really going it between you two huh?

"Oh, please shut up, why don't we talk about your boy instead"

"What? What? I didn't hear anything Oh! You two had sex?" H said pretending to not hear about her boy problem and acting like I told her I had sex.

"What the fuck H! Of course not, okay got it I'll stop talking about your boyf--"

"Oh was it good C?"

"I said I'll stop okay now you stop too it's gross!" I said to shut her up and drank my beer. I rolled my eyes to both of my cousins who are now laughing so hard. I roam my eyes as I pour another shot but then I saw a familiar face at the bar counter near our table.

Shoot! It is architect! Did he hear what H said? Oh my gosh. That is why I walked toward him and sat on the chair next to him.

"Hey" I said as I sit down.

"Hey" he said.

"Uhm so why are you here?"

"To drink?"

"Oh, yeah, right are you alone?"

"No, I'm with my college friends earlier because of my friend's birthday and I just prefer to be alone for a few drinks"

"Okay, I'll stay here with you then while you're here pa"

"Are you not going to dance?"

"No, I'm not in the mood, you?

"No, so you're not in the resort for two days"

"Yeah, I took care of some school stuffs and I bought some school stuffs earlier before I came here"

He nodded at me and drank after that. I ordered a drink for me as a long silence between us pass. I was just watching the people dance and he continued drinking beside me.

"So, you like someone else? Is that why you want us to be just friends?"

"No, I d-don't why w-would you think that?"

"So yung ex mo pa rin ba? I heard you had sex, kayo na ulit?"

"No, why are you saying I had s-sex where did you get that ide—" I stopped since I realized nab aka nga narinig niya yung mga sinabi ni H kanina.

"It's okay you don't need to lie 'Ma'am' Chanel" he said before I could even deny what he is saying, he started to turn his back on me and walk away so I grabbed his hand to stop him.

"No, you misunderstand, okay? Inaasar lang ako ni H because I kept asking her about her boy problem and she asked that to stop me from asking her! I did not have sex with anyone for the past days especially with my ex!"

"I told you, you don't need to lie, it's okay"

"I am freaking telling the truth here you can ask my cousin if you don't believe me, duh I can't even have sex with anyone even if I try to because I do not like somebody else and you are making me crazy thinking if I should give you a chance or not! So yeah, ask my cousin if you don't trust me"

"Give me chance for what?"

"You're good in being an architect why not be good in analyzing what I said, Ravi?"

"Do you like me?" he asked.

"To tell you honestly I d-don't know"

"But, you said you're thinking about giving me a chance? You even called me Ravi, does this means that I can court you?"

"Took you long enough to understand than I expected, but y-yes sure whatever"

He grabbed my head and pull me for a kiss after which I didn't expect, and to surprise myself more I find myself kissing him back. The kiss went deeper and more intense.

"Ravi.." I moaned as his hand from my waist went up to cup my breast.

"That's like music to my ears literally" he said when he heard me said his name finally. He then continued kissing me back. His kisses went to my neck as I hold his head.

"R-ravi.. Did you bring your car?" I asked stopping him from his kisses.

"Yes, why? I'm sorry did you not like th—"

"No, no let's go continue this there" he said huskily.
