The Best Man

Chapter 31

When I woke up, I could still remember my dream.

I slapped my face, one-two-three times. “Ella, it’s just a dream.” I said to myself. But why did I

dream of something like that?

Then I heard my phone ring.

“Hi,” I said.

“Hello, my lady. How’s your night?” It is Justin.

When I heard his question, I suddenly felt tensed and blushed. I remembered my behavior last

night when he kissed me. That was the very first passionate kiss I have ever experienced.

I came back to my senses and “I had a wonderful night.”

I heard him chuckle, “I miss you.”

That sent shiver to my body.

“I miss you too.” I replied.

“Can I go to your place?”

In an instant, I answered, “Sure. You are always welcome.”

“Okay, I’ll hang up. Bye.” And he hung up.

Then I heard Manang Luisa call me from my bedroom door.

“Ella, there’s someone waiting for you downstairs.”

“I’m coming Manang.”

Maybe its Trish, I thought. I rushed to the living area and I tried to go back to my room again when I

saw him.

But before I could make a move, he already saw me, and he is smiling at me. Looking at me from

head to toe.

I tried to turn my back from him but his words stopped me. “You’re cute with your PJ’s”

I looked up at him, “thanks.”

“Whatever it is that you are wearing, I know that it will all suit you,” and he winked at me.

 

“You’re always making me blush,” I said.

“I really like it when you blush,” he teased.

I’m really running out of words when it comes to him. It’s like you are in seventh heaven. Floating;

while the angels sing for you.

“Do you want something to drink?” I asked.

“Nothing Ella, just seeing you is enough.”

Oh, this guy. He really makes my knees go jell-o. I bit my lower lip to contain myself.

“Don’t bite your lip Honey, you’re turning me on,” I looked into his eyes; his eyes with full of desire. I

suddenly become afraid but my body went towards him.

“Really Justin, am I turning you on?” I played his hair with my fingers.

“Yes Ella,” and he suddenly kissed me. It is warm and deep. I responded to his kisses and

wrapped my hands on his neck. The taste of his mouth, I thought I could kiss him forever.

He was the one who had the effort to break that kiss and I looked into his eyes with a question

why-did-you-stop?

As if he could read my mind, he said, “Ella, as long as I could control myself, I’ll do it. I want you, but

I do respect you as a woman. As a man, I am being tempted. Please don’t tempt me.”

With what he said, I blushed. This oh-so-handsome-guy is being tempted. I looked up at him, “I’m

sorry, I just.. I never felt this way before with a guy.”

“Me too. Don’t be sorry.” He kissed my forehead and he bid goodnight.

“Good night my knight in shining armor.” I whispered and kissed him on his lips. A smack. He

smiled and went to his car and drove away.
