Chasing Sanity (Chase Series #1)

Chapter 7

Hindi inasahan ni Kelly na malamig pala talaga sa London. Mabuti na lang at mainit ang naging pagtanggap sa kaniya ng mga kamag-anak ni Charlie.

Kinabahan nga siya nang makarating na sila sa malapalasyong bahay na tutuluyan nila para sa honeymoon nila. Hindi kasi niya alam kung anong sasalubong sa kaniya. Kaya naman nabunutan siya ng tinik sa lalamunan nang malaman niyang iyong Auntie Millie lang ni Charlie ang naroon para i-accommodate sila dahil busy ang pamilya sa mga business agendas nila.

Auntie Millie became the representative of the Montefiore clan in London. She welcomed the newlyweds with open arms and assured them that the family is happy because finally, at the fine age of thirty-three, Charlie was able to get married. At bagama't nabigla sila kasi akala raw nila'y buntis na si Kelly dahil sa agaran nilang pagpapakasal ay inihayag nito ang pagsuporta sa marriage ng dalawa.

Of course, Charlie and Kelly denied the allegation and clarified that no one is expecting a baby and that they just want to be together that's why they tied the knot in an instant. Na-satisfy naman si Auntie Millie sa lahat ng sinabi nila kaya walang naging misunderstanding o issue.

Pagkatapos naman ng kumustahan, paliwanagan, kwentuhan at kaunting biruan, hinayaan na muna ni Auntie Millie ang dalawa sa kwartong personal niyang inihanda para sa kanila.

Hindi pa sanay si Kelly sa ganoong kahaba at katagal na biyahe, kaya naman hindi niya namalayan na nakatulog agad siya pagkarating sa kwarto nila ni Charlie.

Hindi niya alam kung gaano siya katagal na natulog, pero nagising siyang madalim na ang buong paligid. Nagising rin siyang wala ang asawa niya sa tabi niya.

She immediately got up and turned the lamp on. Hindi na niya inalintana na hatinggabi na. Nagtataka kasi siya kung bakit hindi niya kasama si Charlie at ang unang pumasok sa isip niya ay hanapin kung nasaan ba ito.

She was about to leave the room when she noticed a paper bag—with a very familiar brand name and logo in it—that was sitting on the sofa. She was intrigued. Kaya naman agad niyang nilapitan iyon. Her eyes instantly noticed a small note on top of the Victoria's Secret paper bag, so she picked the small piece of paper and read it.

I think you'll look good in these, love. Wear them for me, please?

She couldn't help but to chuckle after reading. Natatawa siya kasi binilhan talaga siya ng asawa niya ng ganito. She shook her head because she already knew what was inside the paper bag.

She wasted no time and finally peeped on what was inside the paper bag. At hindi nga siya nagkamali. Inilabas niya kung ano ang nasa loob no'n. A pair of black, sexy lingerie and a piece of cute, silk black nighties.

Napakagat-labi siya. She kept staring at those while thinking if it would really fit her. So to end her doubts about the fitting, she didn't think twice about trying them on.

Agad siyang tumakbo papunta sa walk-in closet ng kwartong tinutuluyan nilang mag-asawa. She wore the lingerie without hesitation and then stood up in front of the full body mirror and started staring and examining her own reflection in the mirror. She tilted her head a little as she kept staring. Hindi siya makapaniwalang saktong-sakto sa kaniya ang lingerie na binili ni Charlie para sa kaniya.

The lingerie made her feel sexier. It accentuated her curves and complimented her small breasts. The color was perfect to make her fair skin glow even more. Oh, she loved what she was seeing in the mirror so she just enjoyed herself there until she heard her phone ring.

Nagmadali naman siyang tumakbo papunta sa bedside table kung saan nakalapag ang cellphone niya. Mabilis pa sa alas quatro niyang sinagot ang tawag at itinapat ang cellphone sa tainga niya nang makita niyang si Charlie ang tumatawag.
