Loving You With My Hands Tied ✔️

Kabanata 26: Engagement Party

"Shit..."

Akala ko alam ko na kung ano ang pag-ibig nung nakilala ko si Dominic.

He was breath of fresh air, he was gorgeous, he had eyes that attracted me from the get-go and I've never stopped drowning whenever I look at his eyes.

He was different, he had a presence that no one has, he was beautiful, he is intelligent and smart, and he is everything that every woman would love to have in a man that they dream of.

Pero nahulog ako sa kanya hindi dahil sa mga ganoong bagay, 'di ko nga alam kung bakit nga ba ako nahulog sa kanya pero ang alam ko lang... siya ang gusto.

Siya ang gusto ko, mahal ko, siya ang taong habang buhay kong mamahalin kahit walang poreber.

I fell hard, like... so hard. I don't think there's any way out after falling this hard for him. Kumbaga 'di niya na 'ko binigyan ng pinto na pwede kong buksan para makalimutan ko siya, yung gano'n.

I thought he'd fall for me, that one they he would finally look at me the way I look at him.

But what I didn't think is that he'd already fallen for me and he's only waiting for the right time to ask for my hand, so he could marry me.

May plano siya.

Pero ngayon nasira ko yun, he didn't have any choice but to do something about my marriage with Silas by confessing his feelings for me.

But it wouldn't change the fact that I'm still marrying Silas because we have a plan.

Pero paano na ngayon? Parang gusto ko ng itigil ang kasal para ikasal na lang kaming dalawa ni Dominic?

Paano na?

Ano nang gagawin ko?

"Aster..."

Ibig sabihin ba kailangan ko ng pumili between my responsibility as a Dixon and the love of my life?

"Aster... please..."

How can I even choose between those two?

"I want..."

I'm a Dixon, I have a responsibility as a member of a family who is part of CREED.

"...I want more, Aster. Please..."

But I can't just let him go, I can't let Dominic go.

"Dominic... s-sandali lang..." ungol kong bulong sa tenga niya.

He wrapped both of his arms around my body as I am sitting on top of his lap with our lips on each other's.

Everything is so hot, everything is so warm, everything is so sensitive, it feels like I'll melt every time he touches me like this.

Ang higpit din ng pagkakahawak niya sa'kin, halos wala ng espasyo sa pagitan na'ming dalawa.

I pulled myself from him for a few seconds before he pulled me back in for another kiss, he then left another bite on my bottom lip.

"I can't, Geneva." he chuckled softly and left another peck on my lip.

"I can't seem to hold back anymore..."

For me, I've only seen Dominic as a man who is very mature and someone who could hold himself back.
