Warning ⚠️
This Chapter has a scene that's NOT SUITABLE for YOUNG READERS.

Months had pass after that night and Sam thought that Ian would stop bothering her. She's getting pissed and annoyed for he keep on tailing her. Just like now.

"Ian, ano ba?! Alam mo, naiinis na ako sayo! Binigay ko na sayo 'yung hinihingi mo. Pinatawad na kita! Ibinigay ko na sayo 'yung araw na gusto mong samahan kita. Ano pa bang gusto mo?!" She irritatedly said.
"You. Ikaw ang gusto ko." He replied.
"You're unbelievable!" Sam said and turned her back. Ian grabbed her wrist and surprisingly, Ian kissed her that wakes the hell in her. She hardly pushed him. She saw that he had no regret of doing such things, in public place. The her phone rings.
"Stop it, Ian. Leave me alone!" Her voice were firm. Humakbang sya papalayo kay Ian at sinagot ang tawag.
"Love?" She muttered.
"Where are you?" Paul asked. Sam swallowed. By the tone of his voice, she got nervous.
"Pabalik na ako sa firm. Kakatapos lang ng meeting ko. Why you'd asked?" She asked calmly. Though stuttering, ayaw nyang mahalata ni Paul na may itinatago sya sa asawa. It's not that she'll hide it from him forever, tuma-timing lang sya para sabihin sa asawa ang lahat. Abogado ang asawa nya, at kapag nalaman nitong may ginagawa syang hindi katanggap-tanggap, alam nyang gagawa si Paul ng desisyon na pagsisisihan nya sa huli.
"Okay. Drive safe. I love you." He said, Sam breaths in relief.
"I will, Love. I love you too." She replied.

"Sam, sama ka? Let's hang out naman." Julie said as they barged inside her office.
"Kayo nalang muna, I'm not feeling well eh." She replied. They then eyed their friend.
"Why? What happened? Anong nararamdaman mo?" Denisse asked. Sam heaved a sigh.
"I don't know, pero parang lalagnatin ako eh." She said.
"Hay naku. Umuwi ka na. Gusto mo bang ihatid ka na namin?" Madie earnestly said. Sam shooked her head.
"Hindi na. Kaya ko pa naman mag-drive." She said.
"Oh eh tara na. Sumabay ka na samin pababa." Julie said. She fixed her things and off her laptop then they left.

Sabay silang apat na naglalakad sa parking nang tumunog ang cellphone ni Sam. Tumitig sya sa mga kaibigan.
"Wala kaming sinabi na masama pakiramdam mo ha." Madie uttered when she whispered Paul's name. Sam sigh, she then swipe her phone.
"Love –"
"Parking 6." Paul told her. Tumigil sya sa paglalakad at nilingon ang sinabing parking. She saw her husband leaning on his car.
"Oh, nandyan pala si Attorney eh. Sumabay ka na sa asawa mo." Julie comment.
"Si Paul pasimple, pero miss ka na nyan." Madie jests. Sam ended the call and stares her friends.
"Sige na, sasabay nalang ako sa asawa ko. Enjoy kayo." She said and gave them a hug.

"Hindi ka tumawag na –" Sam did not given a chance to finish her words when Paul pulled her by her waist and claims her lips. She almost lost her balance because she's wearing her high heels but Paul held her. He kissed her hungrily and soft moan escape from her. They're kissing as if no one's looking.
"Hoy! Nasa parking pa kayong dalawa!" Madie yelled. Paul then pulled off and gazed them. He then waved his hand to them.
"I'm sorry! Na-miss ko lang 'tong asawa ko eh." He said. Sam feels the heat on her cheeks, sino ba naman ang hindi? Parang lalagnatin ka na nga, bigla ka pang susunggaban ng asawa mo at ipagsisigawang nami-miss ka. Feeling nya tuloy, nag-blush on ulit sya.

"Paul, okay ka lang?" Sam asked her husband. Tahimik lang kasi si Paul habang nagmamaneho. And it feels strange for Sam. Paul would always talk and tell her about his day. Tell her what happened to his hearing and all, kahit pa walang alam si Sam sa mga kasong hinahawakan nya. Sam placed her hand into his thigh, unbuckling her seatbelt.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked. Paul heard the click of her seatbelt, he glanced at her the ln to the road.
"Wear your seatbelt, Sam." He told her. Sam sighed and buckled her seatbelt again.
'Pagod lang sya, o baka hindi maganda 'yung naging meeting nya kanina.' She thought.

"Where are they?" Sam asked him. Walang mga anak ang sumalubong sa kanila pagdating ng bahay.
"Mommy picked them up earlier. Don daw muna sila." Paul replied and walked inside the dining. Sam squints her eyes, her husband seemed so cold towards her after that kiss in the parking.
"May problema ba tayo, Paul?" She asked as she follows. Paul gazed her.
"Meron ba?" He asked back. Sam creased her forehead.
"Wala!" She replied and occupied the chair. Their helper prepared their dinner already. She don't want to make an argument tonight, she's not feeling well and tired as well and she knows that Paul is also tired. Mabuti nalang din na wala ang dalawa kesa sa makita nilang ganon ang trato ni Paul sa kanya, which is bago para kay Sam.
