HIS LOVELESS PROPOSAL

CHAPTER 7

Chapter 7

A sudden announcement from Elijah came in the afternoon as everyone was so busy with their works. I don't know what is it but I’m going to accompany him later at the conference room so I'll just wait. Doon gaganapin ang maikling meeting kasama ang mga heads at assistant nila kaya mukhang importante ang pag-uusapan.

It made me curious but I didn’t asked him. Pinagpatuloy ko na lang ang trabaho para mabilis itong matapos at wala na akong isipin mamaya. Kailangan ko pa namang mag grocery dahil busy si mama at abala naman sa pag-aaral ang dalawa ko pang kapatid. Madadaanan ko naman mamaya ang Supermarket kaya ako na lang ang bibili.

It's been almost a month since I’ve started working here as an OJT. Kaunti na lang at matatapos ko na rin ‘to. Aalis ako dito na may maraming experience. It maybe sad but at least I got to learn a lot. Bonus na ‘yong pagkakilala ko kay Elijah. He’s the best that something happened to me. But the most awaited is my graduation day. Hindi na ako makapag-hintay na makasuot ng toga, nakangiti kay mama habang hawak ang diploma at medals. It will be the very best for me.

Exactly two in the afternoon when Elijah called me to accompany him. Saktong-sakto lang dahil kakatapos ko lang rin sa pag-aasikaso ng trabaho ko. I got my journal and pen before I followed him. Talagang hinintay niya ako sa labas at sinabayan ako sa paglalakad.

“How’s your day with mom?” He suddenly asked as we entered in the elevator.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya para silipin ang kanyang mukha.

“Great. Maasikasong-maasikaso si Tita. She spoiled me in a lot of things and it’s embarrassing. Hindi ako maka-tanggi at hindi niya ako hinahayaan. Still, that’s the enjoyable moment of my life.” My lips pursed.

Kahapon ay muli kaming bumisita sa bahay nina Tita. Medyo natagalan nga lang dahil busy sa kompanya at sobrang dami ng inaasikaso namin. Bukod sa team bulding ay malapit na rin ang December. The most awaited holiday for all of us.

“I’m glad to know that you enjoyed her company.” He lifted his hand and caress my cheek. Medyo ikinagulat ko ‘yon dahil hindi ko inaasahang hahaplusin niya ang pisngi ko. “let me know if you want to be with mom again. I’m sure mom will be happy if you visit her unexpectedly.”

Habang nakatitig sa tanso niyang mga mata, para akong nalulunod sa lalim at gaan ng tingin nito. He has not the bluest eyes but I felt like I was in the deep blue ocean while staring at him. He’s so handsome, sexy, and a lot but I couldn’t say it out loud and I wouldn’t.

Bahahyang umawang ang labi ko sa kagwapuhan niya at dahil nakatitig ako sa kanya, hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang pagdaan niya ng tingin sa aking labi.

I absentmindedly wet my lips. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko ‘yon nagawa o dahil ramdam ko ang panunuyo ng aking labi kaya binasa ko ito. But because of it, I saw something intense in his eyes that I haven’t seen before.

Desire.

“You’re so beautiful.” He said, or does it a whisper? I don’t know. Ang alam ko lang ay sinabihan niya ako ng maganda habang patuloy sa paghaplos ng pisngi ko.

I was so lost at his every caress. It feels like he’s bringing me into some place that I don’t know. It was so soothing. So warm and I like it—no, I love it. I love what he was doing right now. Kung hindi ko lang napigilan ang sarili ay napapikit na ako sa sensasyong hatid ng paghaplos niya. I can feel chills on my spine and goosebumps while intently staring at him.

Ano bang ginagawa niya? Bakit sobrang gaan ng kanyang kamay na humahaplos sa pisngi ko? Bakit kakaiba ang tingin na binibigay niya? The look in his eyes are saying different. A smile on his lips made me wet my lips again.
