Taming Wild Roses [Chasing Liberty Series #1]

Bumitaw ako sa kanyang titig at kumawala sa pagkahawak niya. I sighed heavily.

"You sure you wanna marry me? You don't know what kind of person I am." sabay tingin ko sa unahan.

Looking at how successful he is, I don't probably deserve him.

I am a mess. Used and passed on by a lot of men.

Kung malaman niya ito ay tiyak na mandidiri siya sa akin. Dahil sarili ko ngang magulang, puta ang tingin sa akin. What more kung siya?

I cannot risk having feelings for someone too far away from my league. Oo, mayaman kami. But compared to them, walang wala ang pamilya naman.

Kaya nga gustong gusto siya ng magulang ko, pero ako, gusto kaya niya?

"Elizabeth Roseann Davis, 19, 2nd year Accountancy student of Maxwell de Mercado University. Has two strict parents, Elizabeth Dianna and Alfredo Davis. Has two best friends, whom you share your dorm with, Kassandra Estella Roque and well, Beatrice Camilla Asunción." he smirked when he mentioned Tris. What's with that?

"You, stalker!" I spatted at him.

"Likes to party, you often go to Elios bar with your friends, and of course who wouldn't know your daily sexcapade trips?" nalaglag muli ang aking panga nang mabanggit niya iyon.

"So you know? Hindi ka ba nandidiri? You might find a wife, the pure and modest one?" nakayuko kong banggit, hindi pa rin makatingin sa kanya.

Nanliliit ako ngayon. Pakiramdam ko ay talunan ako dahil madumi na akong babae. He might consider having a wife na hindi pa nagagalaw ng kung sino.

"Well, that sucks cause my fiance is a lust machine. Let's see what we can do with that when we're already married." hindi pa rin siya nag-papatinag.

"I'm still 19, I am not ready for marriage. I still want to explor-" ngayon ay naglakas loob na akong humarap sa kanya.

"Explore boys? You've had enough Davis. But don't worry, you can still explore when we're married, just only with me." umiwas ako ng tingin dahil parang nangangamatis ang aking mukha.

Diba dito ka magaling Roshan? Dirty talks? Oh bakit ngayon di ka makapag-salita?

"19 still young, hindi pa ako handa." ulit ko.

"You can get married at 19, but we can have kids kung kelan ka handa. I can wait." desigido niyang banggit.

Humarap muli ako sa kanya. "Are you that eager to marry me? Do you like me Mr. Cueves?" I asked him confidently.

Nakita ko ang pag-iwas niya ng tingin. He shifted on his seat.

Kung kanina siya ang nakaharap sa akin, at ako ang nakaiwas. Ngayon, baliktad na.

"Y- No - Uhm - I mean we're supposed to get married. Wala tayong magagawa." pautal utal siya ng sabihin ito.

"You lost your composure there huh?" I said playfully.

"Let's just get you home." pag-iiba niya sa usapan.

"Teka, ayokong umuwi." hinawakan ko ang kanyang braso para pigilan ito. I felt sparks when I touched him, agad naman niya itong iniwas.

"I mean, to your dorm. Ihahatid na kita." hindi pa rin siya makatingin sa akin.

"What's the problem? Don't you wanna talk more? I wanna know my finance too." pang-aasar ko sabay hagod sa kanyang braso.

"Stop-" pigil niya sa akin.

"Why? Diba pagpapakasal na tayo? Why don't we try it?" I am not horny, I just wanna test him. Sabi niya ay makakapag hintay siya.
