Seducing Samantha Del Rio - Completed

SPECIAL CHAPTER 2

"Peyton Del Rio! What the----" She censored the bad words about to come out of her mouth. "What happened?"

Sam looked at the mess her two her children made. Napakamot siya sa ulo niya. Mabuti na lang at hindi napunta ang mga ito sa loob ng office ng asawa niya. Siguradong may iyakang magaganap mamaya.

Muli niyang pinasadahan ng tingin ang dalawa at umiling. Sumasakit ang ulo niya. Naka day off ngayon ang katulong nila dahil nga umuwi sa probinsiya so she was the one who was left to take care of her two child. Nag luluto lang siya ng pancake sa kusina para sa meryenda ng mga ito when she heard screams and shoutings. Kaya dali dali siyang pumunta sa mga ito.

And she found them in front of Amelia's half-opened office room.

Cohen who's 7 years old had her hair in blue wet paint and the 5 years old Peyton had her body all painted with all sorts of blue, red and yellow paint all over.

She sighed. Nakatingin sa kanya ang dalawa na nakangiti pa. If Amelia saw this siguradong lagot ang mga ito. Her wife could be strict when it comes to this kinds of things. Samantalang siya ay hinahayaan niya lang na mag laro ang mga ito. Maybe she has to be strict sometimes. Wala nang takot sa kanya ang dalawa eh.

"Cohen. Who started this?"

Cohen shook her head.

Sam lowered her body para magpantay silang dalawa ng panganay nilang anak ni Amelia.

"Cohen? Your Mommy will be furious if she saw this mess. So tell me what happened?"

Cohen looked at her little sister before biting her lips.

Sam waited patiently for Cohen to talk. Kahit kasi madalas na nag aaway ang dalawa ay hindi naman nito inilalaglag si Peyton. Pero mukhang alam niya na kung sino ang may pakana nito.

"I-I tried to stop Peyton from throwing paint inside Mommy's office. S-So I ended up having blue paint on my face because Peyton threw it at me."

Sam sighed again. Peyton who's more like her smiled wider.

"I wanted to make Mommy's office look bright and cheery! It's so dull like an old woman."

Sam couldn't help but smile when she heard that from Peyton. Pero pinigilan niya ang sarili na mapatawa at pinaseryoso ang mukha niya dahil ayaw niya namang hindi siya seryosuhin ng anak niya. When she was sure that her face is relaxed and serious ay tiningnan niya ang bunso nila.

"Peyton. You know your Mommy liked seeing her whole office organized and clean. We shouldn't mess with it."

"Even if it looked like an old woman who looked grumpy? I wouldn't want to be in that office if I were Mommy. It's not bright and colourful!"

Sam turned her head to the side to hide her smile but Cohen saw to her façade immediately. Sumimangot ito.

"Mom! Mommy will surely make you sleep on the couch again when she sees the mess."

She froze. Oo nga. Last time they had an argument dahil ayaw niyang pinapagalitan ni Amelia si Peyton dahil sa kakulitan nito. Peyton is just 5 years old for goodness sake. Dapat ay nag lalaro ito at nag e-enjoy pa ng buhay but Amelia was keen on the discipline dahil 0 to 8 years old daw is a formative years of a child. Kung hahayaan niya daw na maging makulit at maloko si Peyton ay hindi na nito iyon maaalis hanggang sa pag tanda nito.

But what Sam can do? Maybe she's a little biased towards Peyton dahil sa kanya galing ang egg cell na dinala noon ni Amelia. But it doesn't mean that she didn't love Cohen any lesser. Parehas niyang mahal ang dalawa. But maybe she had a soft spot for Peyton.

"Peyton. Let's clean the mess you made."

Seryosong tiningnan niya ang bunso nila. Peyton grumbled and started to take the paint away. But Sam held Peyton's arms.

"Hep!"

Peyton furrowed her eyebrows. "What Mom?"

"Linisin muna natin yang paa mo at yang mukha mo."

Nag palinis naman ito sa kanya. The younger Del Rio stayed still. Pagkatapos niyang punasan si Peyton ay si Cohen naman ang binalingan niya.

Saglit na kumunot ang noo ni Sam nang umiwas ng tingin sa kanya ang panganay na anak nila. She clearly saw a hurt expression in Cohen's eyes.

"Cohen. Is there something wrong?"

Umiling ito at inagaw ang bimpo na hawak niya. "I-I can wipe myself. I got it only on my face, Mom."

Sam sighed. Mula nang malaman nitong hindi niya ito anak kagaya ng anak niya si Peyton ay parang lumayo ang loob sa kanya ng panganay nila ni Amelia. Cohen mostly like to be alone pero noon ay madalas siya nitong tinatawag para magkwento siya ng mga bed time stories.

Amelia felt that it was time for Cohen to meet Christian. But Sam didn't want Cohen to meet him. Cohen is so much happier noong mga panahong sila pa lang ang kilala nito. Everything changed when Cohen met her father. Pero hindi naman niya pwedeng ipagkait si Cohen kay Christian. Cohen has a right to her father.

Akala niya pa naman ay magkakaroon pa sila ng oras para maihanda ng tuluyan si Cohen dahil nasa abroad si Christian for the last 7 years. Ngayon lang ito nakabalik ng Pilipinas.

But maybe Cohen isn't ready at all for anything. Pinagmasdan niya ang panganay nilang anak ni Amelia. Cohen isn't hers pero naramdaman niya ang maternal instinct nang una niya itong masilayan noon sa ospital.

Cohen was wrinkly and so fragile, so tiny in her hands. Para bang maling galaw niya lang ay malalaglag ito sa kamay niya. So she gripped Cohen carefully in her arms nang ibigay niya ito kay Amelia.

"Cohen..."

Cohen turned around and looked at her with eyebrows furrowed. Kumuha na ito ng basahan sa kusina at pinupunasan ang pintuan ng office ng Mommy nito nang tawagin niya ito.

"Come here."

Nag aalangan na tumingin ito sa kanya bago ito yumuko at lumapit. Sam gently gathered Cohen in her arms and hugged her. Hinalikan niya ang ulo nito. Then she gently swept Peyton on her other arms.

"I love both of you so much. You made me happy this past few years. Walang magbabago doon. Kahit na lumaki pa kayo at ayaw niyo na kay Mom at kay Mommy."

Peyton grumbled. "What? I don't want to grow up. I want to be a little kid like this Mom. You will not throw me over your shoulders anymore if I get anymore bigger."

"W-What are you saying, Mom?" Cohen put a hand to her forehead. "Do you have a fever?"

Sam closed her eyes for a second and smiled. Minsan nakakagigil din talaga ang mga ito. Pinakawalan niya na ang mga ito.

"Tara na at mag linis. Your Mommy will be livid kapag nakita niya ang nangyari dito."

They cleaned the front of the office as clean as they could but they couldn't take it all away. Pero mukhang satisfied na ang may gawa ng kalokohan. Peyton happily held her hands to take a shower. Pinaliguan niya na ang dalawa at tumawag na ng professional cleaners.

"Hey, my babies! Mommy's home!"

"Mommy!" Peyton ran towards Amelia and her wife scooped Peyton in her arms.

Samantalang si Cohen ay nakatingin lang sa dalawa. Amelia opened her other arms to make Cohen come. Lumapit naman ang panganay nila at hinalikan ang pisngi ni Amelia nang yumuko ito ng bahagya at ibinaba si Peyton.

Sam smiled and went towards them. "How about your other baby? Do I get a kiss too?"

Amelia smiled and shook her head. "Come here."

Hinapit nito ang bewang niya at hinalikan siya sa pisngi.

"I want a real kiss, baby." Sam winked. "Later?"

Kinagat nito ang pang ibabang labi. "Later, Sam."

Sam walked to the kitchen and chuckled. She had everything good in her life right now.
