Versailles Series Book 6: The Florist [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 11

=== A M A R A ===

"When was the last time you dated?"

Chael shrugged. "I honestly don't remember. I never dated in a normal setting like this."

"Should I feel flattered that I am the first then?"

He smirked as he drank his wine. "Maybe? I finally had this date after you have bruised then shattered my ego."

It was turn to smirk. "Why have it hard when there are more convenient people out there? C'mon Chael. I'm not the last woman in this club. Why are you working so hard for this..." Tinuro ko ang sarili ko at ito. "...to happen?"

"How straightforward do you want to hear it?"

"As straight as you can." I grabbed my glass and sipped some wine.

"I want to sleep with you."

The wine I just drank bursted from my mouth. Napaubo pa nga ako.

Chael wiped his face with a blank expression. "Thanks for that."

"You want me to sleep with you?" Natawa ako ng malakas. "Are you blind? Why me? Noong naisip ko na papatulan mo lahat ng nakapalda ultimo poste papatulan mo, hindi ko akalain na ganito ka-totoo iyon!" Napapalo pa ako sa hita ko sa kakatawa.

"Stop laughing at me, dammit!"

Tumigil ako at huminga ng paulit-ulit. Tinignan ko ang seryosong mukha nito. "Uy...totoo nga..."

"I'm not kidding, yes."

"And what makes you think that I will actually agree to that? Mukha ba akong pumapayag na makipag-sex kung kani-kanino?"

"No, of course not. I don't regard you as that. I just have this nagging feeling. You have disturbed me since the night I met you."

"Iyung gabing pinagkatuwaan mo ako. Letche ka."

"I'm sorry about that okay? You really looked cute then when you looked annoyed that's why."

I looked at him. I'll be a fool to even agree to what he wants. Sumagi sa isip ko ang litrato nito na nakita ko. Yes, abs and all. Napalunok ako.

Why am I even contemplating about it? I'm just attracted to this man because of his physique maybe?

But his constant pestering is coming through already and I am sure he knows it.  

But if its just sex and we'll walk away after that like nothing happened then it should be okay right? I'm a sex positive person. I kinda know Chael and him being in the club makes him somehow safe. Right...?

But wouldn't it be awkward after? We'll see each other a lot especially with the nature of our work here in the club.

I mentally pulled my hair. Bakit ba pinag-iisipan ko pa? Ibig sabihin, gusto ko. Pero napipigilan lang ang ng social standards sa pagkakaroon ng one night stand.

Lumaki ako sa ibang bansa na at hindi na ako ganoong ka-konserbatibo. Sex is part of dating and technically, Chael and I are dating. It's the first night but still dating, right?

Tinignan ko ito. He was smiling at me.

"Anong nginingiti mo riyan?"

"You're scrunching and un-scrunching your forehead. That's some intense internal conflict you have there."

"Kasalanan mo naman lahat ito."

"The fact that you're thinking about it that hard means you are actually interested in it. What's stopping you? I practice safe sex. I use condoms and I get myself tested regularly. Wala akong record ng sexual assault or harassment."

"It's a one time thing?" Paninigurado ko rito.

"Yes. I don't do it twice with the same woman but if you beg me as hard as I'm doing now for a second night, then who am I to reject right?"

Napaka-kapal talaga ng apog ng lalaking ito. If I give in then his head will just become bigger and be more prouder. No pun intended.

But no matter how much I deny it, I have this nagging feeling how it is to have sex with him. To be kissed, licked, fondled by him. Namula ako sa naisip ko.

He was sipping his wine while looking at me through it.

I looked at his fingers...hands...arms. Ilan na ba ang dumaan dito? Masasama lang naman ako sa body count nito. But then, it will be an addition to the men I've dated too na kung ikukumpara ay milya-milya ang layo ng hitsura at dating nito sa mga naka-date ko. I just realized now that I seemed to date losers.

Napatayo ako nang ma-realize iyon. 

Ano na lang sasabihin ng mga magiging anak ko? Na hindi magaling sa dating scene ang nanay nila? Na wala man lang akong na-bingwit na matipunong lalaki? Na wala akong naakit na sobrang gwapong lalaki? Na hindi ako ganoon ka-ganda para pag-interesan ng napaka-gwapong lalaki?

I looked at Chael who was watching me. He must think I'm a lunatic.

"Again, I will let you resolve that internal conflict-"

"Let's sleep together."

Tumaas ang kilay nito at nabitin sa ere ang iniinom nito. "Pumapayag ka talaga?"

"Oo. I think it will benefit us both. You can satisfy your curiosity, I can add a remarkable bachelor in my body count."

Kumunot ang noo nito. "That's your reason?"

"Bakit? Hindi rin naman ganoong ka-importante iyung rason mo ah."

"I can't believe this. You just want a good one in your body count?"

Tumango ako. "Gwapo ka naman. Mas guwapo ka nga sa mga ex ko eh. At bago ka magyabang, sobrang pangit lang talaga nila kaya medyo naka-angat iyung pagmumukha mo."

"Are they good in bed?"

I shrugged. "Good enough. Hindi naman maliit. Pero hindi rin ganoon ka-sarap. I may be guilty of saying this but I sometimes faked orgasms just to get over with them."

"That bad?"

"Yeah. So kung hindi ka kasing-galing na tulad ng kine-claim mo, I don't know. Wala ng matitira sa ego mo. I mean, if you are THAT good in bed, ikaw na ang pinaka-gwapong lalaki."

"I am good in bed." Tumayo ito at lumapit sa akin. His eyes grew darker as he grew closer.

Hinaplos ko ang necktie na suot nito at bahagya iyon na hinila. "Prove it to me then."

Napasinghap ako nang hilahin nito ang batok ko at hinalikan ako ng malalalim. He kissed me so deep habang hinahaplos and katawan ko. Sinagot ko naman iyon with equal intensity.

I can taste the wine on him which made me feel like I am intoxicated with his taste. Halik pa lang ay mawawala ka na sa sarili. 

His tongue and lips played with mine. He has this magic where it seems like that he has enchanted me and makes me want more. I want more than a kiss. I want more than what we're having right now.

"Let's go."

Hinila niya ako palabas roon at naglakad sa likod papunta sa parking. 

He grabbed me again and we kissed like we're thirsty for each other. when we got in the car. The darkness of the night shielded us from anybody's sight. 

"Fuck I need more than this." He whispered. 

With that, he drove like crazy to his house.
