My Secret Affair With The CEO

➿ Chapter 23 ➿

' You're stunning,' Gabriel said as I slowly descended the stairs.

I loved the silky material of the light blue dress I'm wearing, he bought it for me. I felt beautiful, sexy and seductive dahil siya mismo ang pumili ng suot ko.

' Thank you, ' I replied, my cheeks heating as he continued to stare. He was making me a bit nervous as his eyes raked over me from head to toe. I finally reached him and he immediately pulled me into his arms, running his hands over the silky material at my back, slipping them inside the low cut material. He buried his face between my neck.

' We're not going to get to the party on time if you keep doing that, ' I murmured huskily with an almost frustrated smile. I'd like nothing more than to go back up the stairs and fall into bed with him. Siya kasi e, nang-se-seduce .. ayan tuloy biglang naisip ko yun.

' Charity Events are highly overrated, paano naman kasi puro pasosyalan lang naman ang ginagawa ng mga guest. Nakakasawa.' he murmured as he nibbled on my neck. His words made me laugh. ' Parang mas gusto ko ngayon ay buhatin ka pabalik sa taas at magkulong sa kwarto buong magdamag. ' Pareho pala kami ng iniisip.

' I think your family would hunt you down if you didn't show, It's your party dapat nandun ka. ' I warned him. He kissed me once before pulling back.

He sighed deeply.

' You're right,' he took my hand and we walked out the door, where his expensive car was waiting, with a man holding the back door open. I looked at Gab in question.

' It's a special night, I thought we'd do it in style, ' he said, tila nakuha niya ang naging expression ng mukha ko.

Nakakakilig na nakakakaba. First time kong makikita at kung may pagkakataon makikilala narin ang parents niya. Gosh, ano kaya ang mangyayari mamaya sa party.

' Huwag kang kabahan, kasama mo naman ako e. ' pinisil niya ang kamay ko. Sa simpleng gesture na iyon kahit papano gumaan ang pakiramdam ko.

' Hindi naman ako kinakabahan e. ' pagsisinungaling ko,
' Anyway, kilala ko na naman ang mommy mo. '

' Hindi siya a-attend ng party. ' cold na sabi niya, biglang nag-iwas siya ng tingin.

Napakunot ako ng tingin, ' Huh ? Akala ko ba dadalo ang parents mo ?'

' Yup. ' matipid na sagot niya.

I frowned again. Mukhang may isang sekreto na naman akong malalaman ngayong gabi. Unti-unti ko nang nauunawaan ang mga pinagmumulan ng takot at sakit na pilit niyang itinatago. At hindi ako titigil hanggang hindi ko iyon tuluyang natutuklasan. Maybe then pwede na kaming maging malaya at mahalin ang isa't isa ng tuluyan na walang pinagtataguan at walang kinatatakutan.

Gab helped me get in the car. My eyes widened nang biglang may iniabot siyang velvet box sakin at parang nahuhulaan ko na kung ano ang laman niyon. I love him, hindi dahil sa mga bagay na binibigay niya. Okay. Hayyy ..

Before I really couldn't believe I'd be so stupid to fall in love with a man who went through different women a year. A man who uses his charm, face and sex, bonus nalang yung pera niya para makuha ang mga babaeng gusto niyang madala sa kama. The only man who offered indecent proposal to me.

I stared at the pair of jewelry, and sighed.

' You didnt like it, Baby ?'

' W-why .. I mean .. hindi ko naman ito kailangan e. Ang dami na nga ng mga jewelry na binigay mo di ko nga nagagamit tapos ito na naman. '
