Breathless (Book 1&2)

Breathless #36

Chapter 36
Noreen

I feel nervous, yes sobra! Kanina pa nagagalit si Ron sa akin sa kaka-retouch niya dahil sa sobra kong pagpapawis, malamig naman sa unit pero pati kili-kili ko ata kinakabahan ngayon. "Bakit ka ba kinakabahan Bessy?" tanong niya.

"H-Hindi ko rin alam!" sagot ko.

"First time lang ang peg?" tanong niya saka inabot sa akin ang pouch and car key ko. I insisted na hindi na sunduin ni Cloud, he called me earlier para iremind ako about sa dinner and he offered to pick me up but I refused.

"S-Siguro. Ito kasi yung first dinner ko na official girlfriend na ako ni Cloud." sagot ko naman.

"Aba, very improving ang relationship niyo ano? Meeting with the family na ang peg, osha gorabels na bago pa malaspag ang beauty mo!" bumeso si Ron sa akin kaya naman umalis na rin ako. I can't afford to be late, lalo ngayon. I checked my phone I got three messages from Cloud asking me where I am, nag reply din ako agad.

It took me an hour bago makarating sa bahay nila. Bumusina ako at bumukas din naman agas ang gate nila, I parked my car in front of their house saka inabot sa guard yung susi ng kotse, siya na daw bahalang mag-gilid nun.

Cloud was smiling habang nakatayo tapat ng pinto nila, he was wearing a white polo na nakatupi hanggang sa elbow niya. He let the upper buttons unbuttoned, it gave him a cooler look this time. Not too composed just right lang. Habang tumatagal lalo siyanf gumagwapo sa paningin ko!

I was wearing my black mesh dress and from the looks of it, Cloud loved it. Sinalubong niya ako saka mabilis na hinapit sa may beywang.

"Hi gorgeous..." bati niya na pabulong sa tenga ko. Naramdaman ko ang kiliti matapos dumampi yung mainit niyang hininga sa may tenga ko.

"Am I late?" tanong ko sa kanya, ngumiti siya saka umiling, he cupped my cheeks and looked straight into my eyes. He was smiling, I saw it. He adores me, I felt it. He suddenly claimed my lips, mabilis pero sapat na para magwala ang puso ko sa saya. I smiled at him "Did you like it?" tanong ko.

"What? The dress or the kiss?" tanong niya saka ngumisi, mahina kong hinampas ang dibdib niya. "I love it both." pahabol na rin niyang sabi.

"LOVE BIRDS! THE FOOD IS WAITING! COME INSIDE, I'M FAMISHED!" rinig kong tawag ni Ate Chloe mula sa loob.

Cloud offered me his right arm and I accepted it. Ate Chloe was wearing her typical outfit. Shirt, jeans and high heeled shoes. Napatingin din ako kay Cielo na pababa ng hagdan, her boyish style can never be hidden.

"Hi!" bati sa akin ni Cielo, I greeted her back, she's beautiful, she has the same eyes that Cloud has. Kita ko ang makahulugang tingin sa akin nila Tita Elaine at Tito Sky. They warmly greeted me and I can feel naman na welcome na welcome ako sa kanila.

Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko, alam na ba nila? Na girlfriend na ako ni Cloud? Siguro sinabi naman na niya di ba?

We were all sitting when suddenly Cloud cleared his throat. He even held my hand na nakapatong lang sa lap ko. I looked at him surprised. They were all looking at him too. Kahit ang mga maid na nag se serve sa amin, napahinto at napatingin din sa kanya.

"Mom, Dad, Ate Chloe and Cielo," Umpisa niya. "I never had a chance to inform the three of you about our relationship, it wasn't sudden but a lot of things happened," napatingin ako kay Ate Chloe, she winked at me dahilan para mas lalo akong kabahan at ma excite.

"So, I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce to you my girlfriend, Noreen," napatigil siya matapos niyang sabihin iyon and I saw how his face turned red.
