"HEY, princess. Can we talk?"
I admit, I really miss my dad so much. I miss having time with him. Pero sa kaso namin ngayon... Parang ako pa yata ang lumalabas na bagong salta rito sa bahay.
Pinalampas ko na 'yung araw na nakalimutan niya ang araw ko at ang death anniversary ni Mom. Pero 'yung kasi nila ni Helen? Hindi ko alam.
Ilang buwan na ba silang nakatira rito? Gosh, I lost count, they are not important anyway.
I am busy doing my unfinished requirements, nakakapagod kasing mag isip kapag iniisip ko na may mga requirements pa akong dapat tapusin.
"What is it dad?" I asked as I set aside my laptop and sat at the edge of the bed.
Bago siya pumasok ay sinirado niya muna ang pintuan. Naglakad na siya papunta sa akin at umupo sa tabi ko.
"Are you busy?" he asked.
I smiled. "Nope, not at all." I lied. Minsan na lang kami mag usap ng kaming dalawa na lang, may time pa ako para tapusin ang mga requirements ko.
He gave me a half-smile. "Okay, I just want to talk about you something." he trailed off.
Nakatitig lamang ako sa kanya, hinihintay ko lamang ang susunod niyang sasabihin. Alam ko na rin kung ano ang pag uusapan namin, tungkol na naman ito kay Helen.
"It's about your Tita Helen,"
See? It's about her, all about her. Minsan na lang kaming mag usap dalawa ngunit si Helen pa rin ang laman nito.
"What about her?" I asked, fighting the urge of rolling my eyeballs.
"I know you're having a hard time accepting her." Buti alam mo dad. "I love your mom, and always be. But I also love her, I just want to give you a mother figure."
I sighed. "Dad, I'm already twenty-one. I don't need any mother figure, you are enough." I said. "But I know that you love her, that's why I am trying to accept her. Maybe someday I will accept her if she will not hurt you." I added while glaring at me.
He chuckled. "Don't worry about me... She is not that type of woman. Well in fact, she makes me happy like your mother did when she was still alive." he said, I can feel the longines in his voice.
I know that he truly love my mother. I know,
"Minsan na lang tayong mag usap mg ganito simula ng lumipat sila rito." I admitted. "You always, give time to your new family."
Gosh, I can feel that my visions get blurry. No, I will not cry.
His facial expression became more soft, mas lalo siyang lumapit sa akin at pina sandal sa kanyang dibdib. I can now hear his heartbeat. "You're my daughter, even though Khloe came into the picture. You are still my number one daughter." he replied and kissed the top of my head.
"I love you, dad." I said, almost whispering.
He kisses the top of my head again. "I love you more, my princess." he sincerely replied.
"I am not promising you, but I will try to accept them."

"WHAT the hell are you doing in my room? Haven't I told you that you are not allowed here?"
Gosh, I don't know with this man. Basta-basta na lang kung pumasok dito sa kwarto ko. Feeling close talaga.
Simula kasi no'ng last na pag uusap namin ni daddy ay medyo sinasanay ko na ang sarili ko sa presenya nila. But not with this kapal mukha guy, who enters my room without knocking on it.
I already hid the spare key of my room, but little did I know that he made a duplicate out of it. Gusto ko talagang bigwasan ang lalaking 'to.
But what's with that look rig? He looks like he is having a hard day. But he still looks hot. He is still wearing his office attire, mukhang dumiretso ata 'to rito sa kwarto ko.
He smells really good.
Argh. Why do I always have to compliment his looks?
"I don't know anymore what's happening to me." he muttered.
Mula sa pagkakahiga ay umupo ako pagpasok niya. Lumapit ang lalaki sa akin at basta-basta na lang akong niyakap.
"Gosh! What are you doing?!" I hissed. Pinipilit kong alisin ang kamay ko ngunit mas lalo niya lang hinigpitan ito.
"Just... Just let me hug you." he mumbled like a child.
Napapikit na lamang ako ng mariin. Gosh, this is bad... really bad.
"Don't you have any lover? Or maybe you can go to your sister's room."
He groaned in protest. "I am now hugging my lover." he said that made my cheeks flushed in an instant.
What the hell does he mean by that?
"You idiot, I'm your step-sister. Not your lover, and I will never be."
"Yes, you are. We already make-love." What the hell?
Make-love? Gosh, that word only suits people who are madly in love with each other. But in our case? It's just a one night stand. And why the hell does he always bring up that topic?
Magsasalita pa sana ako nang bigla niyang inangat ang ulo niya at tumingin ng diretso sa mata ko. I swallowed hard.
Those amber eyes... I really love the color of his eyes. He is an innocent big baby to me.
"I like you," he said.
Sa sobrang gulat ko ay bigla ko siyang naitulak ng malakas, kaya napatayo siya. Why do he have to utter those words? Is he for real?
"W-what are y-you talking a-about?" I was trying not to stutter, but my mouth betrayed me.
"I like you, I really really like you. Not as a fucking sister, but as a woman."
Sunod-sunod akong umiling sa kanya. "No, you don't know what you are talking about. I am not one of your girls, I don't let you play with me."
He shook his head. Lumapit ito sa akin at hinagkan ang pisngi ko. "No baby, I am not playing with you. Wala akong makukuha sa mga ganyan. I admit the every word that I say." he said, I can feel the sincerity in his voice.
But something's in me saying that I shouldn't. Sa mga mata ng mapanghusgang tao ay mali ito, at alam kong mali ito. Dad and his mom will get married soon. Mali ito...
"No, do-" he cut me off with his mouth and started kissing me.
I don't know why I am responding to his kisses.
I am now catching my breath when he broke our intimate kiss.
"Just let me prove to you that I really like you." he said and sealed my mouth with his.
This is bad... really bad.
