Love-struck

Chapter 33: Unexpected Gossip

Paris' PoV:

Slut is a big word.

This time, he already went too far to the point that he crossed his limits. Hindi nya na alam ang boundary nya. I know that he's my father. But he doesn't have the rights to disrespect this lovely woman who's with me.

Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pag-usbong ng kakaibang galit sa aking dibdib. My jaw clenched. Napahigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa kamay ni Autumn.

Akmang magsasalita na sana ako when Autumn suddenly stepped forward.

"Excuse me? Do I look like a slut to you, Mister Leviere?" I looked at her and I noticed that she's smiling.

Shivers ran through my whole body. Tandang-tanda ko na ganitong ngiti rin ang nakapaskil sa kanyang labi nang sampalin nya si Louise dati.

And this kind of smile indicates danger.

"Yes. You're a low-class woman." Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin ni Dad sa aming dalawa na para bang tinatantya kung compatible ba kami sa isa't isa. Later on, he shooked his head as if he's disagreeing into something.

"Kahit anong anggulo, hindi kayo bagay ng anak ko." Dagdag pa nya.

I frowned. Ano bang qualifications at requirements ni Dad para maging bagay kami ni Autumn? Mataas ba ang standard nya? Matangkad naman si Autumn kaya kayang-kaya nyang abutin 'yon.

Tsk. At sinong gusto ni Dad? Si Louise? I hate that woman. I really hate her.

"Oh wait. I remember now. I'm a slut nga talaga."

Nag-aalalang tumingin ako kay Taglagas pero tinanguan nya lang ako. A mischievous smirk can now be seen on her lips.

She threw her body to me. She wrapped her arms to my nape. "I'm a slut but only for Paris. Kay Paris lang ako lumalandi at tumutuwad."

Akala ko ay tapos na pero hindi pa pala. She looked at me and quickly gave me a kiss.

Using my peripheral vision, I saw how their jaw-dropped and their eyes widened in shock. Halatang hindi nila ineexpect ang ginawa ni Taglagas.

Hindi ako nagdalawang-isip na sagutin ang kanyang halik. Here we are, passionately kissing each other infront of them. And oh, we keep on sucking and eating each other's lips.

"Stop this shit!" Someone yelled. Sabay kaming napatingin sa taong nagsalita. It was Louise who said that.

I can see on her face that she's pissed. Pero hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ko ang pagdaan ng sakit at lungkot sa kanyang mata.

I'm aware that she likes me. I guess, isa 'yun sa mga dahilan kung bakit naghain ng arranged marriage ang family nila na syang tinanggap naman ni Dad without my permission.

Nagulat na lang ako noong umattend ako sa isang party. Doon nila mismo inannounce na fiance ko na si Louise.

"Don't use that word to my wife, Dad. Autumn's not a slut." Mariing kong turan. "And if ever she's like that, it doesn't matter to me. Mahal ko ang asawa ko."

I don't easily judge someone. Instead, I tend to understand them. Alam kong may rason ang lahat.

Kung maging slut man si Autumn, hindi 'yun nakakabawas sa pagkababae nya. That doesn't define her worth as a person and a woman. She's still worthy to be love and take care of.

"Because of this low-class woman, natuto ka nang sumagot-sagot sa akin. You keep on violating my commands." Walang emosyon nitong turan. I noticed that Dad lifted his hand.

Alam kong pinipigilan lang ni Dad ang kanyang sarili na sampalin ako lalo na't nasa public place kami. May mga taong naririto at nakatingin sa direksyon namin. Any time ay pwedeng-pwedeng may kumuha ng picture at magcause ng issue.
