Lords Series #1: Lord's Obsession (UNDER MAJOR REVISION)

CHAPTER 14

It was a blessed morning for Valouise, waking up with the sun rays licking through the curtains kissing her delicate and white skin. She sat down on the bed and with her half-opened eyes, she went to the bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. She went out of the room with her white nightdress on, comfortably walked through the house.

She went straight to the kitchen and took a warm glass of water.

“Oh? You're early.” someone gasped. Agad lumingon si Valouise sa kinaruruonan ng boses.

She unintentionally spits out the water when she finds Bylur topless and sweaty. Pati sa tubig ay nabulunan siya sa gulat. Ubo siya nang ubo sa pagkasamid.

“Ayos ka lang?” Tanong ni Bylur at sinubukang lumapit kay Valouise ngunit agad n'ya itong tinigilan.

She raised her arms to stop him and waved it as a sign for him to not go near.

“A-Ayos l-lang ako!” Mataas na boses na tugon ni Valouise at bumuntomg hininga. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin at mariing pumikit.

“Uminom ako ng tubig pero lalo akong nauhaw.” Bulong n'ya sa sarili at muling bumuntong hininga.

“What did you say?” Bylur asked and she faced him again with a straight face, acting like nothing.

“Wala! Do you really walk in the house topless?” Tanong ni Valouise rito at ininom ang natitirang tubig sa baso.

Bylur smirked and stopped himself from smiling. He went near her and leaned into the counter.

“Do you really walk in the house with nightdresses?” pagbalik nito sa tanong. Valouise smiled foolishly and shook her head.

“Kakagaling ko lang mag jog and I always jog. Unfortunately, maaga kang nagising kaya nakita mo akong ganito.” sagot ni Bylur rito at inilapit ang mukha n'ya kay Valouise. He stared at her eyes then slowly to her lips and to her eyes again. He deeply stared at her eyes with a small smile.

“Bless your morning with the view.” he seductively whispered and pulled himself away from her. He went near the fridge leaving Valouise stilled.

Valouise was fighting the flutter she felt. Self, bawal kiligin. Tangina! Bakit ang pogi n'ya?!

Bumuntong hininga siya at inayos ang sarili.

“What do you want to eat?” Tanong ni Bylur.

“Kahit ano. Everything you cook is fire.” Valouise hissed and walked away from the kitchen.

“Asan ka pupunta?” Tanong ni Bylur. Tumingin si Valouise rito at piyong sumagot, “Magbibihis.”

Bylur softly chuckled and shook his head. Valouise rolled her eyes on him, holding her laugh.

“I prefer you not to.” Bulong nito na narinig ni Valouise. Valouise was stunned and her cheek was turning red. She was blushing but she didn't want to make herself obvious.

“Ano?” Maangmaangan nito.

“I said, your nightdress suits you.”

Valouise just smiled and went back to her room. Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga at pinigilan ang sariling ngumiti.

“Huwag ka kikiligin! Valouise, huwag kang kiligin! Bawal ‘yan!” Sambit n'ya sa sarili at hinawakan ang mukhang umiinit.

“Tangina, kailan ba ako huling kinilig? Bakit parang mali! Makaligo na nga lang!” Parang baliw nitong bulong sa sarili at agad nang pumasok sa banyo.

Pagkatapos maligo ay nagbihis kaagad ito. She wore a deep v fitted shirt slightly revealing her cleavage together with a cropped cardigan, she paired it with a trapped long skirt, hugging her perfectly shaped waist and buttocks. agad siyang bumaba para kumain. Saktong kakatapos lang ni Bylur maghanda ng pagkain sa mesa.

“Are you going to your shop today?” He asked and Valouise nodded.

“Oo! Hindi ako tulad mo na kahit walang gawin sa bahay ay may perang dadating.” Sagot nito at umupo na. Bylur sat down across her and they had their breakfast quietly.

Valouise has been comfortable with him. She's comfortable in his place too. Para bang ilang taon na niyang kilala ito dahil sa agarang pagkakomportable n'ya sa tao. It's just been two weeks yet, she feels closing the gap between them, realising he was never a threat to her life. He gives her a comfortable place to stay, feeds her with warm and homey foods he personally cooked, puts her safety first in the line. She can't imagine having such privileges for free.

“Ayos lang ba sa’yong hindi ka muna pupunta sa shop mo? We're running out of stocks, mind lending me a hand?” Bylur said in the middle of their breakfast. Valouise looked at her.

“Mag grocery ako? Ayos lang. Lista mo na lang kailangan.” Sagot naman ni Valouise at napangisi si Bylur kaya napataas ng kilay si Valouise at sabay singhap, “Anong nakakatawa?”

“Hindi mo ata kakayaning ikaw lang sa dami ng gusto kong bilhin. Let's buy grocery together. Maybe you want to buy some for you, I don't know much about your likings so, buying stuffs with you would help me.”

“Hindi naman ako choosy sa pagkain pero sige.” Pagsang-ayon ni Valouise at ibinalik ang tingin sa pagkain. Ilang minuto rin silang tahimik ulit pero binasag naman ni Bylur ang katahimikan sa mapilyo nitong hirit.

“I guess, you're comfortable enough to be with me in my house already.” May panunudyo nitong sambit. Tinaasan ni Valouise ito ng kilay habang pigil ang tawa.

“What do you mean?” Valouise asked. She bit her lower lip, trying to stop herself from smiling.

“Hmm…” Bylur pretended to think.

“Tigilan mo ako, Bylur. Hindi talaga kita sasamahan kung mang-aasar ka lang.” Sambit ni Valouise bago pa ito sumagot. Dali-dali n'yang inubos ang pagkain n'ya at pinulot ang pinggan para dalhin sa kusina. Nilagay niya ito sa lababo.

Ayaw n'yang makita ni Valouise na namumula siya dahil sa panunudyo nito. Pero para bang sinasadya ni Bylur at sumunod sa kaniya ito. She washed her hands and pretended to get some water in the fridge.

“Can you pour me some?” Bylur asked for water, handing Valouise a glass. She poured it without saying anything.

“M-Magbibihis muna a-ako.” Pagpapaalam ni Valouise at nagtangkang umalis ngunit bigla siyang hinagip ni Bylur.

He belted his big hand around Valouise's waist and pulled her closer. She froze when Bylur slightly squeezed her waist then he leaned into her ear and whispered, “Don't change. Your clothes perfectly suit you.”

Valouise's heart skipped a beat hearing his baritone voice very near to her ear. After some seconds, Bylur's grip loosened and let go of her.

Bylur innocently smiled at her like he did nothing to sway her.

“Magbibihis muna ako. I'll be quick.” Pagpapaalam ni Bylur at agad pumunta sa kwarto nito.

Naiwan si Valouise na walang imik at pulang-pula ang mukha at tenga.

Valouise covered her face with her hands and wiped it. She deeply sighed trying to relieve the nervousness and heat she felt. She can still feel his grip on her waist and Valouise knew to herself that she was attracted. She couldn't deny the fact that she has been attracted to him physically and weirdly, she likes it.

Ano bang nangyayari sa akin? Tangina!

She poured another glass of cold water and drank it vigorously. Lumabas siya ng bahay at naglakad-lakad para magpahangin habang hinihintay si Bylur. Ilang minuto pa ay lumabas na itong nakaayos.

“I'm sorry for making you wait. Let's go?” Bylur said and she just nodded, without looking at her. He gently took Valouise's bag from her hand and walked to the garage and got his car.
