Romancing Dominance [BL][COMPLETED]

Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13 - Beneath His Effort

"Seriously, Jakob? Anong ginagawa mo d'yan?" I asked, eyes squinting against the morning light as I caught sight of him balancing on the thick branch of a mango tree.

I kept my best bitch face intact, arms crossed, staring up at him like he owed me the world. It was way too early for this kind of stress, and as expected, it was brought by no other than this man.

Ang taas niya. One wrong move and he'd go tumbling down. Considering his size, baka mayayanig ang buong lupa. Goodness, Jakob.

"I'm fetching your mangoes, hon!" he shouted, one hand clinging to a branch while the other held a bunch of green mangoes. "Sabi mo gusto mo, kaya eto! Kinukunan kita!"

Ecstatic. First thing in the morning. What on earth did he eat for breakfast? His smile stretched wide like a kid showing off his new toy.

"Just get down here, Jakob! Let Roman or Baste do it for me!" sigaw ko habang nakatingala sa kaniya, one hand shielding my eyes from the sun.

He claimed he was courting me. Courting, as in ligaw. However, did that mean risking your life on a mango tree? My God.

"No! Bakit sila pa kung nandito naman ako?" he retorted, his forehead creasing in mock offense.

This man.

I turned to Glenda, hoping for backup, but she was already giggling and peeling mangoes with Baste and the others. They were treating this like it wasn't a scene straight out of a telenovela.

I was sweating from stress while he was having the time of his life.

"Jakob naman, huwag matigas ang ulo. Please. Enough na 'tong nandito sa baba. Just get down, okay?" I gave him a pleading look, hoping he'd take the hint.

Earlier, I woke up feeling like jogging could clear my mind. I ended up in the mango plantation with Glenda and Baste. The trees were full and beautiful, and some farmers offered me mangoes. I didn't want to be rude, so I stopped to chat.

Of course, perks of being the fiancée of the hacienda's Senyorito.

Then came Jakob, storming in with tousled hair and a wrinkled white tee, still in pajamas. He arrived breathless, like someone told him I was being kidnapped.

"Senyorito, nag-aalala na ang mapapangasawa mo! Bumaba ka na!" one of the farmers shouted.

Jakob only grinned, proudly telling everyone he was wooing me. That was why he was doing all this.

My face heated up as I watched him begin his descent.

Makababa lang 'tong damuho na 'to, bibigwasan ko talaga.

"Have a look at it. Masasarap 'yan, Miracle, promise."

I glanced at the mangoes, then back at his stupidly handsome face high in the tree.

"Ayaw mo talagang bumaba? Baka mahulog ka, Jakob! Ano ba!" I shouted with my hands on my waist, voice sharp with worry.

The farmers chuckled among themselves and mumbled "Hayaan mo na, ginusto naman niya."

"Come on, hon!" he teased. "Kaya ko 'to. Kinalakihan ko ang pag-akyat ng puno. Look oh, wala ka 'atang tiwala sa mister mo."

Ang kapal.

The people watching started laughing, and embarrassment washed over me in waves. To hide it, I stepped over to Roman and grabbed one of the mangoes he was cleaning.
